student and no educational value to
the institution.”
A report by Dr. Alvan E. Duerr,
chairman of the scholarship' com
mittee of the conference, showed
that for the tenth successive year
fraternity men had surpassed non
fraternity students in scholarship
in 178 American colleges and uni
versities. A total of 86,132 under
graduate fraternity men in 2,338
chapters were included in the
scholastic record.
“This exemplifies one of the real
values of fraternity to the educa
tional institutions: it furnishes a
cohesive and interacting group
which can be made responsive to
any influence brought to bear on
its members, a fulcrum altogether
missing in the relations that facul
ty and administration have with
non-fraternity men,” Mr. Duerr
said.
Pistol Team—
(Continued from page 1)
the Bayou Club. You will notice
it back in the glass case in the
Academic Building.
To keep the boys in practice
and on their toes, Captain Enslow
requires them to fire competition
among themselves to decide which
of them will compose the team for
the week. Six men compose a
team, five of them to shoot and one
reserve.
One of the good points about
the pistol team is that it can fire
matches with schools all over the
country and never leave school or
miss a day’s classes. The two
schools in competition agree to fire
on a certain day and compare
scores. A member of each fac
ulty acts as witness and each
mails the other the results. But
the boys do get to make trips.
This year the boys have accepted
invitations to Galveston, Houston,
and to Austin to fire against the
State Police; and have already de
feated the State Police, recaptured
the Kaufman Trophy and taken
a number of medals.
Last year the team encountered
21 colleges and universities
throughout the nation, defeating 20
of that number. This year the
team has again challenged these
teams and a few more besides.
Their schedule for the next few
months, as far as it is completed,
runs as follows:
Week ending February 24—
Pennsylvania State College, Ohio
State University, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Harvard
University.
Week ending March 2—Illinois
University, Arkansas State College.
Xavier University.
Week endnig March 9—Cornell
University, Eastern Kentucky
State Teachers College.
Week ending March 16—Yale
University, Colorado State College,
Purdue University.
Week ending March 23—Okla
homa University.
Week ending March 30—St.
Bonaventure College.
Week ending April 6—Iowa
State College.
Week ending April 13—Michi
gan State College, University of
Utah.
Week ending April 27—Univer-
city of Wisconsin.
Also deserving of praise is the
little-mentioned freshman team,
which shoots every week just as
does the varsity, and has the pos
sibility of shooting fully well. The
following named men have been
deemed eligible to fire on the
freshman squad: F. D. Albritton,
J. T. Chapman, R. T. Cook, J. E.
Handy, J. G. Korman, T. K. Pierce,
J. L. Robertson, G. R. Thenn.
Traveling Aggies—
(Continued from page 1)
On arriving at the camp, we
were greeted by about twenty
Arabs with their “Siedas” which
means hello, good morning, good
night, or goodby in Arabic. The
twenty Arabs, we later found out,
were our cook, waiters, drivers,
rodmen, and general flunkies. We
had trouble training the drivers
and rodmen to be much help, but
later they did well enough.
While camped near Suez we
would take a sail boat across the
canal to Port Tauf ic and then take
a train into Suez and see an
American movie. The talking at
the movies would of course be in
English, but a screen to one side
carried the dialog in Arabic,
French, and Greek.
Egypt is a very cosmopolitan
country. There are people from
every country here and conse
quently every language is spoken.
Most everyone knows at least three
languages; fortunately English is
one of them. Languages as they
are spoken most are Arabic, Eng
lish, French, Greek, German, and
occasionally Russian. One of the
George Barnes, Former Aggie Gridiron
Star, Heads Fort Worth Baby Beef Show
George W. Barnes has spent
more than a quarter of a century
striving to improve beef cattle
in the Southwest.
The fruits of his work are shown
each year at the Southwestern
Exposition and Fat Stock Show and
every day on the ranges of the
cattle country.
Since 1923, Barnes has been cat
tle specialist with the Extension
Service of Texas A. & M. A year
after joining the extension staff,
Barnes became superintendent of
the boys’ baby beef show at the
exposition. In that connection his
work is with the farm boys who
will be the adult exhibitors at
livestock shows tomorrow.
“The 1940 show will have some
of the best calves the 4-H Club
boys have ever exhibited,” Barnes
has informed the show manage
ment. “Last year many visitors
made the remark that the boys’
beef show could not be improved
upon, but I do believe that it will
be better than ever this year.”
Barnes is a native of Coleman
County and a graduate of Texas
A. & M. He was a member of the
extension service staff of Okla
homa A. & M. from 1912 to 1914.
The following two years he was
with the extension service of the
University of Arizona. From 1916
to 1923 he was manager of the
Perrin Land and Cattle Company
of Seligman, Arizona.
Europeans working with us spoke
these seven languages besides be
ing an electrical engineer.
During our work along the canal
we worked the old World War
battlefields and found the remains
of the old trenches and great
masses of barbed wire entangle
ments, also thousands of duds.
One of our California boys, a con
firmed pacifist, brought in a cou
ple of 155 mm. duds. He had load
ed them into a pick-up and bounced
over fifteen or twenty miles of
rough sand!

AGGIE SENIORS,
COACH HONORED
AT AUSTIN DINNER
The senior members of the 1939
Aggie football squad and Coach
Homer Norton were honored at a
banquet at the Driskill Hotel in
Austin Saturday night.
Included in the entertainment
were the pictures of the Sugar
Bowl game played in New Or-
—TUESDAY, FEB. 6, 1940
leans on New Year’s Day between
A. & M. and Tulane.
Senior members on the squad who
were present included Walemon
“Cotton” Price, quarterback; Herb
Smith, end; and Joe Boyd, All-
American tackle. John Kimbrough,
the All-American fullback, was al
so at the banquet.
There were 300 grid fans at the
banquet in this city, home of the
Aggies’ most hostile rivals.
When a student at A. & M.,
Barnes was a star football player
in the position of right tackle. His
friends remember him as a stal
wart of the gridiron back in the
days when brawn counted for more
than deceptive plays.
