est blocker that I have ever saen,
that is one of the reasons I choose
him to assist me. He has just fin
ished actual playing and will not tb*
only tell the boys how to block ••tional
but can get ia and show them
lihow", he said.
Hubbard, gigantic 276 pound
man mountain, smiled at these
words and stated that football was

(his main interest and that since
he was quitting the actual play-
i ing, he was anxious to get in and
develop some of the younger play
ers and to show them how to play
the game. *T have played eight
years of professional football now,
and althoagh 1 had one of my best
seasons this last year, I know that
I cannot play forever,” he said.
'T have learned lots from the
games where real, smart, and hard
football is played and new I want
to use my knowledge to train the
young men who have hopes of
going places in football.”
Wants Students' Aid
“Of course”, Norton began, “we
cannot be expected to do wonders
and to work alone. We want the
aid and support of the entire stu-
j dent body. It is hard to step in a
new place and start right at first
by setting the woods on fire. It
will take the aid and cooperation
of every person interested in A
and M and with this support, we
have plans of giving the Aggies
athletic teams that they can juatly
boast and be proud of.” Hubbard
added that they would have charge
of the boys up until the time for
the starting whistle to blow but
then for 60 miautee, the fate of
the team would be in the hands
of the students and players.
Norton and Hubbard will stay
at the Aggieland Inn during the
month they are here. Hubbard’s
wife and four year old boy will ar
rive to stay the later part of this
week, but Norton’s wife and 16-
year old daughter will not be able
to' leave their home at Shreveport
except merely on week-end visits.
Manning Smith, Centenary All-
American quarterback this year
who will be an assistant coach,
will not be able to leave Centenary
because of his studies but will visit
A and M on the week-ends to be
come acquainted with the players.

troversy, particularly ia view
his sutement that the fraternity
has done nothing to “enrich the
life of the college world or of the
individuals who comprise it.”
Dr. Ellery, who is acting presi
dent of Pnion College, declared
that the principal reason why Phi
BrU Kappa failed to exert any
“definite and positive influence" in
the intellectual advancement of
individuals and institutions is its
reliance on the grades 'Received by
stodenU. It rarely “seconds the
motion" of professors who give
out the grades, he said, and makes
no distinction between difficult and
easy courses.
He contended that the society
should blacklist those courses
which require a small amount of
mental effort and which are notor
iously easy. He also condemned
the grading system in general.
“Phi Beta Kappa can adopt an
independent basis of eligibility—
one of iU own devising and under
its own control,” he declared. “It
can demand from all camL lates an
idea or two, instead of an ability
to reproduce on call a few acts
from a menUl store accumulated
during undergraduate life.”
Dr. Harrison C. Coffin, professor
of Greek at Union College, took
isaue with Dr. Ellery’s opinion,
holding that ths society could
hardly be blamed far the grading
system or for following it and that
it would be dangerous to blacklist
