VARNER BRYAN, TEXAS MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR CALDWELL JEWELRY STORE Bryan, Texas All-Collegiate Squad Picked By Coaches* Poll Kate Smith, the “Songbird of the South” is shown above with Jim Crowley, head football coach of Fordham University, looking at one of the specially designed and engraved 17-jewel Bulova wrist- watches is 14 kt. gold, presented to the standout gridiron players chosen for the Kate Smith All-Conference football team. On a recent broadcast of her regular Friday night show the names of the members of the team were announced. They were deter mined by a direct poll of 500 football coaches throughout the country. This is the fourth consecutive year of the All-Collegiate poll, which is supervised by an executive board of coaches, whose chairman is Jimmy Crowley, Fordham University mentor. Coach Homer Norton of A. & M. again served on the board this year. In her telegram to Coach Norton, Kate Smith informed him that Joe Boyd and John Kimbrough, both named on many other All- American teams this year, were outstanding men on her team. Christmas Spirit— (Continued from page 1) round the new dormitory area soft ly singing to the strains of an ac cordion played by one of the fresh men. All last week and this week the various organizations are having their own Christmas parties. These parties are given by the freshmen who get together and give some sort of a program. Then they give presents to the upperclassmen and usually anything that has been missed recently by the upperclass men will turn up in the form of a present. Usually refreshments are served and everyone has a jolly old time. The spiritual side of Christmas is not being neglected as many stu dents are attending special Christ mas services given by the various churches. All in all the Aggies should be well prepared to go home and enjoy the holidays to the fullest extent. Team Ready— (Continued from page 1) student tickets remain and that they will be taken off of reserve Wednesday. “There are already more orders on file than there are tickets left and the students should get their tickets as soon as possi ble,” Hooker pointed out. It has also been announced that any student so desiring may make the trip on the band special at the special rate. Norton is not planning anything special in the way of an attack against the Wave, but he is expect ing to work Dawson and Hauser at tackles during the short practice season in order to have plenty of reserve strength at that position to combat the continuous pounding that Tulane gives the tackles. Every man on the Aggie squad is in fine condition and the start ing lineup will find Smith and Sterling at ends, Pannell and Boyd at tackles, M. Robnett and Henke at guards, Vaughn at center. Price at quarter, Moser and Thomason at halves, and Kimbrough at full. Records Prove— (Continued from page 1) The college livestock judging team stood fourth among the twen ty-nine teams competing. Our meats judging team stood sixth, with fifteen colleges competing. The Animal Husbandry Depart ment showed one Aberdeen-Angus heifer, bred here at the college. This heifer won her class, was re serve junior champion, and sold for $2,000, which is the highest price ever received for a single animal by this college. So far as I know, this was the highest priced female sold at the Exposition. Very truly yours, D. W. Williams Head of Department. Cinemactor Spencer Tracy will soon be awarded an honorary de gree by his alma mater. Aggie Clambake— (Continued from page 1) campus enthusiastic about the pro gram. There are a lot of good things that we can put on.” One of the features of the program which will be used regularly in the future is that of having 30 or 40 freshmen draw slips of paper and making the holder of the shortest slip sing. This has been successfully done twice before. The last 15 minutes of the pro gram will be devoted to The Bat talion Newscast, announced by George Fuermann. The last clambake program was held in Guion Hall and was at tended by an audience of about 100, but because of the unsuitable acoustics there, all programs in the future will be held in the broad casting studio in the Y. M. C. A. This studio accommodates an or chestra and an audience of 100. The adjacent parlor can be opened for additional guests if necessary. After the broadcast of the yell practice Sunday night, Rosser re ceived a telegram from the Na tional Broadcasting Company pro gram executive saying that the broadcast was a “swell job”, and that Tommie Littlejohn and the Aggieland Orchestra were “terrif ic.” Rosser commended the entire cadet corps for the way it did its part, and for its quickness in pull ing the program out of its only awkward spot, which was a lapse of seven seconds. He said “I be lieve we made a good impression over the NBC network, and now that people know what we can do, we will be given more time on the air. He estimated that a million people listened to the broadcast. From San Francisco comes news that Sally Rand has filed a petition in bankruptcy. She states that she has all debts and no assets. We thought she had been stripped long ago. W. J. Douglas Insurance Agency General Insurance Rms. 18 & 19 Commerce Bldg. Phone 160 Bryan, Texas Expert Radio Repair STUDENT CO-OP Phone No. 139 North Gate Rumors Fly About Kitts’ Successor Houston.—Rumors have been flying thick and fast around Rice Institute, which has dismissed its head football coach, Jimmy Kitts, after one of the most disastrous seasons in the Owls’ history. Kitts brought the Nightbirds their first two Southwest Confer ence titles in history during his six-year tenure. But 1939, when Rice failed to win a conference game after being boomed for the title, and managed to score their only victory over impotent Cen tenary, was too much to endure for the powers that be. The simple statement that Kitts had been “relieved of his duties” came as somewhat of a surprise because the coaching staff had re ceived commendation at the an nual banquet of the R Association Wednesday night. A few hours later Lou Hertenberger, line coach for ten years, submitted his resig nation, which was accepted. The next day the seven-man commit tee on outdoor sports announced that Kitts was out, too. Question of the successor to genial Jimmy became more intense than ever. Recent grapevine talk has listed these as some of the can didates: Jess Neely, coach of the Clemson team which plays in the Cotton Bowl New Year’s Day; Raymond (Bear) Wolf of North Dr. Jennings Will Represent A. & M. Dr. Walter Jennings, of the Mathematics Department, will rep resent the college at the forty- sixth annual meeting of the Amer ican Mathematical Society, to be held at Ohio State University, De cember 26-29. The meeting will be in conjunction with the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathe matics. Dr. Jennings will deliver a paper, “Some Implications of the Con tinuum Hypothesis,” before the Logic and Theory of Sets, section of the Society. Recently Dr. and Mrs. R. P. Marsteller had as their house guests Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Haring of Berkeley, California. Dr. Haring is the head of the division of vet erinary science in the University of California. While on the cam pus, t)r. Haring visited the School of Veterinary Medicine here and complimented Dr. Marsteller high ly on the work that was being done.

STANDARD HAT WORKS North Gate It was in Grandfathers Day ten your grandfather needed tobacco he probably went to the tobacconist in his community and had a lot of fun blending differ ent types of tobacco together and trying out the differ ent mixtures. He MAY HAVE FINALLY HIT on a combina- tion of tobaccos that was pretty much to his fancy.; • that tasted all right to him and wasn’t too strong. So the tobacconist, with an eye to future business, would make up this private blend and keep some of it on hand for him. This HIT OR MISS METHOD ©/ tobacco blending was never very satisfactory. But it proved one thing to both smokers and manufacturers, that you must have a blend of tobaccos to get better smoking results, because no one tobacco by itself has all the qualities necessary to a good smokei The CHESTERFIELD tobacco buyers select and bid in at the auction sales the tobacco types that best fit the Chesterfield blend, which is the right combination of exactly the right amounts of Maryland, Burley and Bright with just enough Turkish. These tobaccos and the Chesterfield way of blending them make Chester field different from any other cigarette. ThAT IS WHY there are millions of enthusi* astic Chesterfield smokers clear across the country. They find Chesterfield COOLER, BETTER-TAST ING and DEFINITEL Y MILDER.. .just what they want for real smoking pleasure. You can’t buy a better cigarette. M $ (k «• u $ 4 % 4 i &
