OFFICE OF THE COMMANDANT October 25, 1940 CIRCULAR: NO. 14: The Commandant is in receipt of a letter quoting the remarks of a prominent business man who attended the U.C.L.A. game, and who stayed at the hotel which was headquarters for the A. & M. men: “The elevator operators, bell boys, and other employees of the hotel, including the assistant manager, said that the be havior of our squad, and likewise, the followers of the team was the best of any football group that had ever been in that hotel.” This is a sincere and unsolicited com pliment and is a tribute to the high sense of honor and splendid behavior of the members of the Corps.

Second Showing Of Aggietone News Held This Evening Through the courtesy of the United States Government, the sec ond issue of Aggietone News is be ing released today and will run through Wednesday and Thurs day. The assistance of the gov ernment came in when it was nec essary to send the films of the Baylor game to Dallas for devel oping and return by air mail. This quick service has made it possible to include the shots of the game in this issue so that those who were unable to make the trip may see some of the more exciting plays. The shots of the Texas A. & M.- Baylor game take up approximate ly 7 minutes of the newsreel which will run 15 minutes. This is sever al minutes longer than the first issue which was shown October 15-17. The technical difficulties which were present in the last production have been entirely elim inated and the sound is now syn chronized with the film. The shots of the football game are almost professional in quality. Other topics covered in the news reel are the rodeo, the actions of both bands at the half of Saturady’s game, Governor W. Lee O’Daniel addressing the corps, the' flag raising ceremony at the T. C. U. game, the corps dance that night, registration for military ser vice and some of the work of the C. A. A. FOUND: C. G.

Sports Writers Get Off Several Good Wisecracks The present football season is bringing forth some good wise cracks. Flem Hall, sports editor, Fort Worth Star-Telegram—“T.C.U. can well holler that they ‘was Rob- netted’ ” in referring to the fact that Marshall Robnett, Aggie guard dealt the Frogs misery all afternoon. Dick Hyland, sports writer, Los Angeles Times—“U.C.L.A. should have been penalized for having five men in their backfield during the Texas Aggie game for Mar shall Robnett was back there all afternoon.” Paul Zimmerman, sports edi tor, Los Angeles Times: “The Tex as Aggies showed more power than a public utilities monopoly.” A bit of verse from the afore mentioned Dick Hyland: “When you’re up, you’re up; When you’re down, you’re down; But when you’re up against the Aggies, You’re upside down.” E. C. (Jeep) Oates, com piler of Southwestern Conference football statistics: “I’ve heard a lot about the rabbit ball in base ball but the way these fellows are kicking a football around this year makes me believe that somebody has rung in a rabbit ball in football this season. Shucks, unless a fel low kicks it 70 yards anymore he is not doing anything.” (Presto Johnson, S.M.U., kicked one for 92 yards.) Among the interesting informa tion which the boys learned on the trip was the condition of the olive trade. Canneries are still getting plenty of olives from Spain, the boys were told, but are afraid that this source of supply will be cut off at any time. If it is cut off, California will be the only major producer; and she cannot produce enough to fill the demands. SMU Tickets— (Continued from Page 1) LOST—Grey sport jacket made by Field and Stream. If found, call Bryan 182, Bill Walters. Liberal reward. FOUND—High school ring, on drill field. Also hand bag on depot platform. Clyde Oldham, Box 644. LOST—One rain coat, just outside Dal las on the Houston-Dallas highway last Sunday afternoon. The coat has a chem ical Warfare insignia on the back. Please return to room 419, No. 12, if brought back to college. cadets. Naturally those students with the perseverance and initia tive enough to remain up all night got the first chance to buy the tickets. R. D. Lowry was probably the busiest man on the campus as he dished out both student tickets and date tickets to the thousands of Aggies who were on hand Monday morning. Lowry said that there would probably be enough student tickets to allow every Aggie who has a coupon book to buy a ticket but that it was doubtful whether or not there would be any more date tickets made available. No doubt there are many Ag gies who are brooding this mom- ! ing over the fact that they did not to go to the “Y” and wait for the opening of the doors. This game will probably be the best and most important of the Southwest conference games this season and all tickets have al ready been sold except the A. & M. student tickets and they will all be gone as soon as the students can get to the “Y” and get theirs.

Next Mon day night the renowned Fisk Jub ilee Singers will come to A. & M. as the second number on this years Town Hfall program. According to Paul Haines, student manager, this is one of the finest singing groups in the world today and A. & M. is indeed fortunate in having them appear on the campus this year. Unlike many other negro groups who achieve fame and reputation that usually change their style of singing, the Fisk Singers have con tinued to sing the old favorite Negro spirituals and songs as they were sung on the plantations dur ing the days of slavery. Tjiis group renders their songs in typical southern plantation style, as only a negro singing group can do. Each individual singer in the group is selected on the merits of his voice as a soloist as well as its characteristics and adaption to the group. Audiences throughout the country have remained complete ly under the spell of their en chanting singing for the duration of their program and long before the program has ended it will be noted that the entire audience is unconsciously swaying to the ryth mic singing of the group. Indeed they have rightfully been acclaimed as the country’s out standing Negro group singers. According to an annoucement made Monday by Paul Haines, there are still a few choice re served seat tickets left for sale. These tickets may be called for at the student publications office anytime during the coming week. -TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1940 gas will be provided so that visitors may be able to say they have been gassed and will recognize the ef fects of tear gas.
