Aggie Immortal- Tyree L Bell- Will Head Former Students Extension Service Employs Garth To Supervise Mohair Walter Garth, Jr., of Sanford, Maine, has been employed by the Texas Extension Service, effec tive August 1, to supervise mohair grading in Texas during the fall season, Director H. H. William son announces. Garth was asso ciated with the Texas Mohair grad ing committee during the fall and spring seasons of 1940-41 in de veloping proper grades and methods of grading. The committee is com posed of mohair producers and warehousemen. W. R. Nisbet, Extension Service animal husbandman, with whom Garth will work, said that it was the purpose to develop in the early fall season a definition of the standards by which mohair is to be graded. Garth will help de fine the grades and after these have been accepted by growers, warehousemen, dealers and mills, efforts will be made to have them established as standard grades for the United States. WELCOME AGGIES WE WELCOME ALL OF OUR OLD FRIENDS WE WANT TO MAKE LOTS OF NEW ONES DROP BY AND VISIT WITH US COLLEGE COURTS COFFEE SHOP Opposite East Gate From The Texas Aggie Tyree L. Bell, ’13, chosen pres ident of the Association of Former Students at its commencement meeting, is one of the Southwest’s best known and most successful engineers. That is the way he is known to the business and profes sional men of the Southwest. To A. & M. men he is all that and more. He is a football im mortal—one of the two men in A. & M. athletic history to captain two different A. & M. football teams, and still rated as one of the finest captains who ever led an Aggie eleven into battle. More important, he is regarded as an outstanding example of the finest type of A. & M. man in his loyalty, interest, and work for his college. Election of Bell as president of the Ex-Students’ Association was a natural step for a man who since gradaution has loyally and ca pably served in many College and ex-student capacities. He has been previously vice president of the As sociation and is a past president and active member of the Dallas A. & M. Club. He has served as ex-student rep- hesentative on the Athletic Council. Those were official positions. Dur ing the past 30 years he has served unofficially in many more and equally important capacities. Coming to A. & M. from Dallas, Bell played halfback on the Aggie football teams of 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1914. He captained the teams of both 1912 and 1914. Following his graduation in civil engineering he went to work with the Missis sippi River Commission at Vicks burg, Mississippi. World War No. 1 called him from this work, and he achieved a bril liant record in that war. He was first lieutenant and captain of the 312th Engineers overseas. He emerged from the war as a major in the Corps of Engineers. He served as an instructor at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, Officers’ Training Camp. Overseas his last assignment was camp engineer of the Bordeaux Embarkment Camp, Bordeaux, France. He was in France during 1918-19. Following the war he was made district manager of the Lakewood Engineering Company, dealing in general contracting equipment. In 1922, he became associated with F. P. McElwrath, at Corsicana, in the contracting business and in 1934, he formed and was made vice pres ident and general manager of the Austin Road Company at Dallas. He continues in that capacity. He is a director of the Texas Power & Light Company.

A. man of tre mendous energy, he finds time from his busy work to participate actively in A. & M. activities and to achieve some fame as both a fisherman and a hunter. Mr. and Mrs. Bell and their daughter live at 6968 Tokalon Drive in Dallas. Head of A & M Poultry Department Obtains Honor Degree D. H. Reid, head of the poultry husbandry department of A. & M., was elected “Fellow,” an honorary degree award for distinguished service, by the American Poultry Science Association in its annual meeting held recently at Oklahoma A. & M. College, Stillwater, Okla. Advance Orders For Football Tickets Will Put Big Dent in Stock Ticket reservations for the Tex as Aggie football games continue to move along at a good speed, or at least the flood of advance or ders indicate that Sept. 1 will see a big dent made in the stock of pasteboards, E. W. Hooker, Aggie ticket manager, said this week. All advance orders From former students have been filled but the orders for John General Public will not go out until Sept. 1, Hook er explained. However, the former student sales did leave some desir able tickets for all games but it is likely that the general public sale will take all seats on the side lines and part way into the end zone. Largest demand is for Texas— Texas A. & M.' game tickets so Hooker has gone ahead and had general admission tickets printed for the temporary seats which will be erected in the south or open end of the stadium. This will make possible an attendance of 38,383 for that game which will be played on Thursday, Nov. 27, this year. Other large demand is for the S. M. U. game on Nov. 8 which will see the co-champions of the past season in action. The Baylor game booked for Oct. 25 is also selling well. -SOPHS- (Continued from page 14) for a man his build, and is a deadly tackier and fine blocker. Luethy is another sophomore that will be hard to keep out of action this year, and his coaches predict great things for him before he closes his grid career. Don is as rugged as they come and likes hard and tough football. Other Stars These are only a few examples of. the on-coming sophomore stars. Norton has enough sophomore stars to make a full team—one which could give any team in the conference a mighty hard tussle. Besides those mentioned, there are Bill Andrews and Bob Williams, backs, and A. J. Mercer, hustling center, who may prove to be hefty substitutes and even starters before the season is over. The average age of cadets in A. & M. in 1903 was 18 years. AGGIE CLEANERS & DYERS Dial 4-4554 North Gate HEY AGGIES! • We have just the typewriters to make your school year a success.
