A REQUEST
Couch Homer Norton jast
night asked that it lx 1 made
known that he and the other
members of the coaching
staff were very happy that
so many persona had tbrned
out to witness the spring
training, and tliat they in
vited everyone interested in
Texas A and M footbdll to
attend the practice serious
in the afternoon. Coach Nor
ton also a>k that those w-ho
witness the practice stay far
enough away from the play
ers while at practice tliat
they will not interfere with
them.
Since there is only a month
of spring training allowed,
it is ntressary that each af
ternoon’s practice be as pro
ductive us possible, and .this
is an impossibility if there
is any outside interference.
Coach Norton stall’d that he
was very appreciative of the
efforts of the student body
and football followers td co
operate with him and his
staff.
