“Big John” Kimbrough plunges through center for one yard, just before the Aggies made their only touchdown
against the S. M. U. Mustangs in the game Saturday which the Aggies won 6 to 2 playing in the rain. At this
stage the Aggies lacked only two yards of their touchdown. Kimbrough holds the ball, and the well-muddied Ag
gie looking on is Buchanan, No. 57. A steady drizzel left pools of water at places on the field, and the sky was so
overcast that staff photographer Phil Golman was forced to use flash bulbs for his pictures.

The ace sports announcer was
overwhelming in his praise for A.
& M. “My business includes trav
eling all over the nation,” Stern
said, “but nowhere else in the
United States have I been treated
better than here at A. & M. I
have been given perfect assistance
in every respect, and the three
days which I have spent here have
certainly been pleasant ones.”
He added that, “I have heard
of this famous so-called ‘Southern
hospitality/ but the term has been
greatly underrated. And your Ag
gie custom of greeting everyone
is something with which we have
no parallel in the East.”
Last Saturday’s broadcast, which
marked A. & M.’s first appearance
on a coast-to-coast N. B. C. net
work, nearly failed to materialize.
The tremendous expense of the
broadcast to N. B. C., together with
the fact that there were three oth
er nationally significant games be
ing played the same day, tended
to make N. B. C.’s officials hesi
tant in bringing the important
broadcast to Aggieland. The ex
tensive interest shown in the game
by West coast stations, however,
proved to be the deciding factor
in the case.
Stern arrived at College Station
Thursday morning and spent the
remainder of the day, and Friday
too, meeting and talking with the
players and coaches. He also
spent considerable time seeing mov
ing pictures of previous A. & M.
games this season. Throughout
the time Stern was here he was
assisted by G. B. Winstead, direc
tor of publicity for A. & M., at
whose home Stern was a guest.
“This is A. & M.’s first time on
a coast-to-coast N. B. C. hookup,”
Stern said, “but not its last.” He
Roosevelt Starts
Red Cross Roll Call
President Roosevelt launched the
annual Red Cross Roll Call in a
radio address November 11 over
the combined networks of the Na
tional Broadcasting Company, Co
lumbia and Mutual Broadcasting
Systems. He was introduced by
Norman H. Davis, National Chair
man of the American Red Cross.
The Chief Executive was the first
speaker on a full-hour program
bringing together some of the most
popular stars on radio, screen, and
stage. The broadcast, starting at
9:30 p. m., C.S.T., switched from
Washington to New York and Hol
lywood for participation by such
popular favorites as Fred Allen.
Ben Bernie, John Charles Thomas.
Clifton Fadiman, Paul Whiteman
and his orchestra, Harry Von Zell,
Don Wilson, Edgar Bergen and
Charlie McCarthy, Connie Boswelh
Major Bowes, and Jascha Heifetz.
The program was made possible
through the courtesy of the three
cooperating broadcasting systems
and the donated services of one of
the largest advertising agencies in
the country, the chairman said. All
stars on the program, as Red Cross
members, volunteered their serv
ices.
1940 Census—
(Continued from page one)
to Rico, Virgin Islands, the Canal
Zone and Alaska.
In preparation for the taking of
the census, individual maps of all
districts must be made, so that not
one square foot of territory can be
missed. Maps for this census, over
130,000 in number for the states
alone, were started almost three
years ago. Experts with their com
mittees are setting up schedules
for the census and formulating the
questionnaires.
Even through this vast territory
must be covered, and every home-
farm, factory, and business insti
tution, must be visited, only thirty
days is alloted for the job in the
country, and two weeks in the city.
Thus it can readily be seen why six
or eight months has been spent in
the training of the 14,000 enum
erators previous to the actual tak
ing of the census.
It can be understood why nine
box cars would be needed to carry
the entire equipment, why 8,000
persons will be needed in Wash
ington to compile the facts, and
why they will use 328,000 pencils
600 typewriters, 300 calculating
machines, 468 adding machines.
intimated that there was a possi
bility that the Thanksgiving Day
game with the University of Tex
as would be broadcast over the
same setup.
Among outstanding figures in
the press sports world who were
on the campus for the game were
Gayle Talbot of New York and
Felix McKnight of Dallas, both
of the Associated Press; Jinx
Tucker of Waco; Flem Hall of Ft.
Worth; Jerry Hayes, Charles Bur
ton, and Red Webster, of Dallas;
Ward Burris, Fred Maly, and Har
old Scherwitz, of San Antonio;
Vin Burke of Beaumont; Dick
Freeman, Andy Anderson, Lloyd
Gregory, and Bruce Layer of Hous
ton.

MOTHERS’ CLUB
HELPS LIBRARY
The Students General Reading
Fund started by the Battalion last
year, has received another contri
bution, Dr. T. F. Mayo, librarian,
announced Monday. A check for
$25.00 was received from the San
Antonio A. & M. Mothers’ Club
Saturday. This is the sixth of the
Mothers’ Clubs to make donations
this year; the fund now contains
$255.00. The money is used to
buy books requested by the stu
dents.
Raising this General Reading
Fund was set by the fifteen Moth

their primary objectives for this
year.
Greenbelt A.&M. Club

Last Wednesday night in room
109, Academic Building, a club was

ed for an Aggie dance to be held
during the Christmas holidays.

Results Of Freshman
Vocabulary Test Are
Announced By Summey
Results of the vocabulary test
recently given all freshmen Eng
lish students have been compiled
by Dr. George Summey, Jr., head
of the English Department. Those
taking the test were given 100
words to define, rather than 150
words as has been given in past
years. The highest score was 99 :
the lowest, 8, and the medium, 56.
Ninety students scored from 91
to 99, and sixty scored 93 or high
er. Dr. Summey states that these
tests are usually a fairly reliable
indication of the individual stu
dent’s reading habits, his ability
to read accurately, and his general
information.
Red Cross Station Will
Be Operated Thanksgiving
The first-aid relief station oper
ated on the campus by the Brazos
County Red Cross Saturday for

sity. The station, which flies a
Red Cross flag above it, has two
certified first-aid workers and a
registered Red Cross nurse ready
to serve in any emergency.

Mexican Boys Plan
Entertainment to
Promote Goodwill
With a definite purpose in view,
the students from Mexico have
formed a club known as the Club
Azteca to give a clearer picture of
their country to the American
boys at A. & M. To do this, each
member will select one of his Am
erican friends for every meeting.
This does not mean that the meet
ing will be open to them, but it
does mean that a sizeable number
of cadets will hear the story of
Mexico and its people.
The programs will consist of a
short prepared talk of entertain
ment by one of the members of
the Club to be followed by an open
discussion. One of the first pro
grams will be a study of Mexican
music, classical, popular and Mexi
co’s own jitterbug style. Some of
the club members are talented mu
sicians and will furnish the music.
Membership of the Club Azteca
is limited to students having Mexi
can parentage, but the club invites
as many visitors as will to come.
Club officers are Emilio Tamargo,
president; C. Gochicoa, vice-presi
dent; and F. Ruiz, secretary-trea-
