LOST: An overcoat left in car going toward Houston last Thursday afternoon. If the two Aggies who were in the car know anything about the coat, please see Ernest Hancock, 353 Bizzell. LOST: I picked up an Aggie, whose name I think was Harrington, behind the Administration Building immediately after the game Thursday and took him to the main highway. I understood this young man to say that he was trying to catch a ride to Dallas to spend the holidays. He left in my car an overcoat, which I will mail to him if I may have the owner’s written description—especially the label or labels inside the coat and the color of the garmet. LUTHER C.

On this date, each boy will depart to spend Christ mas day at home. After the holi day, the team will probably re sume training at Gulfport, Missis sippi. The Tulane club is a strong power club, probably the strongest team that relies mainly on power as the mainstay of the game but the Aggies’ chance for a victory will be 50-50. With the game all arranged and the tickets ready for the window, another argument comes to the front. The train companies have not decided as to which will run the special from College Station. The Southern Pacific offers two schedules. The first train leaves here at 7 p. m. and arrives at New Orleans at 7:30 a. m. the morning of the game. The other train leaves here at 8 and arrives at 6:30 in the morning. The definite schedule of the Missouri Pacific lines is unknown but the route traveled is through Spring to Houston, and then on into New Orleans. Town Hall— (Continued from page 1) ute program will include the fol lowing well-known selections: Berlioz’s “Hungarian March”; Handel’s “Largo”; Strauss’ “Tales from the Vienna Woods”; Tschai- kowsky’s “Andante Cantabile” and Fifth Symphony “Waltz”; Wagner’s Overture to “Die Meistersinger”; DYERS HATTERS AMERICAN- S TEAM IAUNDRY SEND IT TO THE LAJJNDR.V DRY - - CLEANERS PHONE 585 BRYAN Patronize Your Agent in Your Organization THURSDAY, DEC. 7, 1939 Tschaikowsky’s “Italian Caprice” and his “Dance of the Flutes” from the “Nutcracker Suite”; and possi bly others.
