minutes per day on 25 days in
December or January when cli
matic conditions are favorable.
Deer do not move about much dur
ing the colder weather but are
more active when the temperature
is somewhat moderate or even
high.
A range management plan was
drawn up by Halloran covering the
47,325 acre area of the Refuge, and
it was suggested that while the
number of deer or cattle is not at
present excessive, careful checks
should be made at periodic inter
vals to prevent such a development.

The committee in charge of the
three-day observance include Col.
Ike Ash burn, executive secretary
of the college; E. L. Elkins, pres
ident of the local ROA chapter;
E. J. Howell, registrar, Lieut. Joe
E. Davis, assistant to the com
mandant; William A. Becker, ca

ior class president; Paul G. Haines,
executive officer of the corps; E.
L. Wehner, cadet major of the
band; Bob Nisbet, editor of the
Battalion; and George Fuermann,
associate editor of The Battalion.
The local Reserve Officers Ass
ociation will observe the national
defense week by holding a smoker
for the approximately 450 mem
bers of the senior class who will
receive their reserve commissions
upon graduation in June and who
are now junior members of the or
ganization.
During each afternoon of Feb.
18, 19, and 20, the Aggie band will
present a program of military mu
sic and patriotic songs from the
area near Sbisa Hall. The time of
the presentations will be from
5:30 to 6 p.m.
In further observance of the
week, the seven different branches
of military training which are
taught at A. & M. will give indi
vidual exhibits of their weapons
and practices in connection with the
nation’s defense program.
National Defense Week as such
has been observed by the nation
for the past several years, but
this is the first time that the col

Dean F. C. Bolton has granted
permission for the organization to
use the house formerly occupied
by Dr. R. G. Reeves to be used as
headquarters for meetings of the
various committees and to be used
as a collecting point for all sup
plies gathered by the chapter.
The drive will not be confined
to College Station but will take in
Bryan and all parts of Brazos
County. Local social clubs are
planning programs and gatherings
for the purpose of collecting and
classifying the supplies as well as
knitting and sewing garments to
be sent to Britain.
Those taking part in the activi
ties of the chapter besides Mrs.
Campbell are Mrs. R. P. Marsteller,
in charge of clothing; Mrs. Frank
Anderson, in charge of collecting
tinfoil; Mrs. N. M. McGinnis will
sponsor knitting; Mrs. D. W. Wil
liams and Mrs. Marsteller will
supervise the sorting.
Mrs. D. B. Gofer was appointed
chairman of the telephone com
mittee, and Mrs. E. E. McQuillen
was made chairman of the sewing
committee. Miss Peggy Campbell
will be in charge of children’s knit
ting.
According to requirements set
forth in the regulations of the na
tional chapter, the treasurer must
be one who is familiar with finan
cial and monetary transactions. P.
L. Downs Jr. was selected for this
position.
Working with the above commit
tee is a student committee com

to commit suicide.
There was a young American,
however, who was trying to get
enough money to return to col
lege, and an Italian youth who,
together, finally devised a scheme
to cut the cable.
At one point a river ran under
the cable and the two had man
ufactured a raft which they had
dressed-up to appear like a clump
of floating land.
Darkness came and the daring
pair began the treacherous job. As
though trying to make the task
double-tough, the water was ice
cold and it was necessary for the
two men to remain almost com
pletely immersed to avoid dis
covery—a fact which almost caused
the American to lose his life.
“That was a weird but dramatic
sight,” the Colonel pointed out.
“The Philadelphia Co. lights were
continually playing up and down
the cable. On several occasions the
lights picked-up the floating clump
of land. Twice they remained fo
cused suspiciously long, but each
time they finally moved on again.
Well, to make a long story short,
the two men finally reached the
spot where the river and cable
crossed each other and successfully

cut the thing.”
That’s when the battle of Bull
Hill began, and more than 500 men
lost their lives before U. S. troops
intervened and ended the struggle.
“Incidentally,” the Colonel add
ed, “the Guggenheims paid both
men a thousand dollars and gave
them a two-week trip to New York
City. The whole thing was one of
the most epochal events I have
ever heard of, and I am at a loss
to understand why something has
never been written about it.
Even the excitement of Alaska
couldn’t hold Col. Watson, however.
“Shortly after the Bull Hill in
cident we heard about a gold strike
in Peru, and that’s where we head
ed,” the Colonel said.
He never reached Peru, though,
because San Francisco stopped him.
The Colonel then returned to
Oklahoma for more oil drilling;
then to West Virginia again, this
time as the superintendent of a
street paving concern; and, finally,
his wanderings were curtailed with
the death of his father.
Since that time he has been in
the army, and his adventures there
have been the equal of those pre
vious to his army experiences.
A famed army polo enthusiast,
he was retired from active duty in
1937 because of injuries incident
to polo and jumping horses. The
next three years were spent in
breeding polo ponies on his ranch
west of San Antonio.
Then, in the summer of 1940, he
was recalled to active duty to be-
