the tieing score when Rice made
a sacrifice hit. Lindsey singled
to right field and on the next go
round, Kirkpatrick, batting for
Lindsey, took first on a pitched
hit to fill the bases. It was at
this point that the runs really
started coming in. The first one
to cross the plate was Lindsey
when Alsobrook took first on an
error. Stone made the next tally
by stealing home. The next two
scores were made by Ballow and
Kirkpatrick to bring the total for
this inning to five. This run on
runs brought the final score to
8-4 where it remained for the rest
of the game.
The batteries for Friday’s game
were Duckworth, Crawford,
Thompson pitching and R. Tank-

Kirkpatrick catching for A. & M.
Batteries for Thursday’s game were
Horner, Duckworth pitching and
R. Tankersley caching for T. C. U.;

took Spark’s high fly to the right
field off the fence in the sixth.

Dear Sir:
I am a young German emigrant
who attended the American School
in Berlin, and after passing my Col
lege Entrance Examination I orig
inally intended to study Agriculture
at one of the United States Col
leges, but owing to our difficult
situation I was not able to do so,
and emigrated to Brazil two years
ago. I worked on a farm in the in
terior of Brazil for a year, and am
now studying agriculture at the
above College. I talk German, Eng
lish, French and Portuguese and
would like very much to exchange
correspondence with a boy or girl
of about my age; I am 19; because
I thought it might be interesting
to some of your students how the
life at a College like this, rather
far off civilization is conducted,
and at the same time I would like
to know how it is at American Uni
versities. I would be very much
obliged to you if you could arrange
this for me. Thanking you in ad
vance, I am
yours truly,

The main text of Mr. Farley’s
speech follows:
“Let us get down to business at
the outset. Let us start off with
the honest concession that the
young people of today, as well as
the middle-aged and the elderly,
are face to face with human reali
ties never before known in the his
tory of the world.
“It is to colleges like Texas A.
& M. that we must look for leader
ship to show us the way in the
current revolution of social and
economic conditions. I am convinced
I am positive, that you will not
let us down. It is my firm convict
ion as I stand before you tonight,
that the rising generation of stal
wart young Americans will take
over, preserve our democracy, and
reach new heights in the solution of
our national problems.”
“Your business here is to make
good, and tonight may I offer you
the benefit of years of experience
I have had in my particular field,
to be accepted or rejected by you in
your own good judgment, as a fac
tor that will in some form or anoth
er enter your future endeavors,
whether you like it or not.”
“It is your present business to
know something about American
politics, and so I will address my
remarks to you on this occasion as
young business people.
“I am a politician; and am proud
of being one. I am also a business
man, and I am proud of that. But I
do think it is fair to say—though
politicians frequently do not say
it—that in politics we probably
have to take account, and do take
account, of the views of business
people perhaps even more than
business people take account of
political factors.
“I believe there is an opportu
nity for business people in public

service, but I do not hold any hope
for material reward, nor of any
great reputation, as an incentive
for anyone who enters politics as
a profession.
“People ask for more business
in government but just the same it
is true that government is a great
deal more efficient than many peo
ple suppose.
“The businessman’s greatest as
set is his reputation for keeping his
engagements, and the greatest as
set of the politician is that his
word is one hundred percent good.”
