ATHLETIC EMBLEMS
At the meeting of the Athletic
Council Monday afternoon, the fol
lowing resolution was passed con
cerning 1 sweaters and emblems
awarded to clubs and sports not
officially recognised by the college.
“The Athletic Council, pending
establishment of a definite policy
concerning minor sports, hereby
goes on record as disapproving the
use by any organisation of any
monogram or emblem in which the
"T” is larger than the "A M C"
except in the case of sports 1 offi
dally recognised by the Council.”
This resolution was passed to
curb the tendencies of unrecognis
ed minor sports to use emblems
closely resembling regularly award
ed letters.

students are registered who are
not candidates for degrees, accord
ing to E. J. Howelk registrar. All
students taking recognued senior
courses and who ark not seboduled.
J. W. Herring, Caere, was elect
ed to lead the 1936 Texas Aggie
track team next year at a meeting
of the team Monday afternoon. He
was elected on the first ballot by
an easy majority.
Hemng was one of the im
sfn.xationsl members of tht track
team this year as well as being a
versatile runner His specialty was
the hurdles, having clipi-.*.i time
from the conference record in two
meets in the lows, but he was al
most squally as goad in the 100
yard dash, the 220 yard dash and
the quarter mile run. In any of
these races, he could stand up to
the best in the conference.
Originally entering with the
class of mt. Herring was out-
outstanding his freshman ysar
but became ineligible his sopho

ysar and did so wall that he was
chosen as the most valuable man
on the team, for which he was pre
sented the Aggieland Pharmacy

ed steadily and because of his abil
ity for different races, sacrificed
his chances of winning firsts eas
ily in two events by trying to gain
as many points as possible for his
team n i tus conference meet and
entering five events. The grind of
the preliminaries the day before
the meet weakened him somewhat
and threw him off form. Probabh
this was the only reason he did
