THE COTTON CONTEST ,
The contestants in the cottan
contest were given two hour exam
inations on each of ten different
subjects relating to cotton. 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. Por

That the famous Texas Aggie
Fight still lives was shpwn last
Thursday as Captain T. W. “Red”
Akins and the A and M track team
conceded two events, the relay me
sa, to Texas University and Rice
and then fought valiantly in the
remaining events to place n close
second to the highly touted Texas
University track team. 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. In the remaining events,
the high jump and pole Vault, ties
for first places left a doubt as to
who is the stronger in these height
