The examination period covered one month which alloWed ample time for review while continuing . reg ular classroom instruction. Each examination was prepared and graded by the ifptructor of the course involved. A list of the courses covered ia t as follows: cot ton marketing (covering exchanges and domestic and foreign market- ; ing), farm machingry (chiefly cul- tivating, harvbatur, and ginning machinery), botany of the cotton plant, cotton insects, cotton tex- tiles, genetics (cigten breeding), cotton diseases, cotton grading,) cotton stapling, and cotton pro duction. j j. ^ MOGPORD WELL PLEASED The only prerequisite for en trance into the cotton contest is junior classificstK)n and comple tion of one courae'in cotton. It is not necessary that the student be enrolled for each of the courses Covered on the examinations. Mr. Mogford was well pleased with the results of this yegr's contest and he said that the papers written by the contestant^ evidenced the fact that much time was spent in outside review of the various sub jects. Mr. Mogford further assert ed that in his opinion this year’s examinations wer4j more thorough in the subject matker covered and the papers written ;by the students showed more thiaight and study than any he had seen before.

In the fifth the Aggies scored twice on two hits and an error to take a 4 to S load. The Frogs ihsado the count even however in the sev enth by scoring on a double, a walk and an error. Tho Higmen, not to be outdone before the home crowd, came through with two runs when Weaver tripled to send Voelkol. who had gotten on base by an er ror, across the plate with the win ning ran and scored when Con- iiollcy bunted in front of the plate, The victory meant a cinch tie for the Aggies in the pennant chase and put the Frogs out of it Juniors Must Make Ring Deposit Before July 1st The juniors are reminded that they are to place a miaimum de posit of three dollars before July 1 at one of the two jewelers in Bryan that are handling clams rings if they are to receive the advan tages of the low contract price.

TTie score, [ 7B)t for Texas and 67 % for the Aggies, was not determined until the last event of the dieet, the Javelin throw, and the sefres were so close before this event that the winners of the event practically determined the victors in the meet. Rice, having not taken a single first place, wa^ a low third with 26 it points. Six first places were taken by the Aggies and eight by ^he Long horns.
