Yesterday Travel In a Private Car With th« combined din of the btnring Aggie Band and the loud yelling of cadets drowning out the sound of their own farewells, thirty-five members of the Texas A and M football squad, together with their coaching staff and col lage athletic officials, left yester day on the S. P. 1:26 for Temple University where they will battle Pop Warners’ Red Devils, Friday night at 8:30, Eastern Stapdard Time. v v i* Effecting a "send-off”, the equal of which has not been .^tammod here in some years, the cadets and band presented a soul-stirring crescendo of sound and a gorgeous extravaganza of color. Both tears amf smiles were seen, as students and faculty alike gathered to give the teem their last encourage ment and pledge of loyalty. The group that left here will travel in a private ear, and forma the nucleus of s bend of Aggie supporters that will boed the train at various points en route to Phila delphia. This, the first game that A and If has ever scheduled for play in the East, will not only strengthen the establishment of A and M as one of the outstanding colleges of the United States, but will also validate the local claim that A and M’s athletic plant deserves national commendation, college authorities here agree. Tom Dooley, chief yell leader for the Corps, and Tony Heldeofels, editor of the “Longhorn”, A and M’s yearbook, were the only out side students to accompany the NORTON’S MESSAGE TO ! CORPS Yesterday morning before the team left, we encounter ed Coach Norton in the Aca demic Btfikftng. We seized the opportunity, and asked him to leave a message for the Corps before taking the boys off to Philly. This is what he said: “Tell the Aggies that weYe going up East to give that Temple bunch everything we’ve got. Tell them . . < .

Coach Homer Norton spoke to the company, battery and troop commanders and field officers a best getting the support of the cadet corps for the football team at a meeting held lest Friday night in the Y Chapel. The meeting was informal in nature and Coach Nor ton spoke to those present so that they could pass his ideas on to their organizations. The idea of cooperation and the fact that thollHUB is a part of the student body was ■trseesd by Norton. "The corps is the import ant twelfth man of the team and its support is just as necessary to the winning of games as is the playing of the other eleven men.” Ineligibility of some of the players has hurt many football teams; therefore Norton asked that members of both th4 varsity and freshman squads be given a chance to study; that everyone should try to be as quiet as possible during study hours; sod that help should be given to any ef the players who needed it. Hie also wanted the opinion of the students about the use of cards on the doors of rooms occupied by athletes.
