was the most impressive part of the
entire evening. Facing the west
stands, the Aggie band formed the
letters U. S. and were led by Col.
Richard J. Dunn in his famed ar
rangement of “The Star Spangled
Banner.” It was an awe-inspiring
sight as the 17,000 spectators stood
in salute as the national anthem
was played.
Immediately before leaving the
field the A. & M. band moved to
a position directly in front of the
corps and played the “Spirit of
Aggieland.”
After the game, the Aggies scat
tered to various parts of San An

which lasted far into the night. In

So They’re Going
What we are about to say needs
no comment.
We picked up the September is
sue of the Texas Ranger, student
mag at T. U., the other day and
sprawled on a two page layout
midway ..through the book was an
article .bearing the title, CALI
FORNIA, HERE WE COME.
At the top of the page was a
picture of Pete Layden, Jack Crain,
and Coach D. X. Bible, the three
All-Americans!
The following excerpt was
taken from the article:
“The Longhorns will go the sea
son undefeated. They will beat the
damaggies at Kyle Field and win
the Southwest Conference cham
pionship. Then, because it will be
the only thing the Californians can
do, Texas will get the Rose Bowl
bid.”
All of that is well and good . . .
But we remember when the Rice
Owls were on their way to the
Rose Bowl in September, 1938
and they didn’t have to face the
Aggies on Kyle Field on Thanks
giving Day, either.
ASAE Picnic Has
Fish As Honor Guests
Freshmen came into their own at
the annual picnic of the Ameri
can Society of Agricultural Engi
neers at Hensel Field Thursday
afternoon as the fish were honor-
guests at the feast.
The purpose of the annual pic
nic is to bring the freshmen and
upperclassmen into contact with
each other so that the organiza
tion can function as a unit as soon
as possible.
About 75 agricultural engineer
ing majors attended the get-togeth
er and played baseball and foot
ball before the feast. Transporta
tion was arranged by the agricul
tural engineering department.
A H Department
Lists Stock Owned
By A & M College
The animal husbandry depart
ment recently announced the total
number of horses and mules own
ed by the college in response to a
request from the Horse and Mule
Association of America.
Of the 20 head of pure bred stock
there are 15 Percheron mares, 4
Percheron stallions, and 1 Suffolk
stallion. The college also owns 57
work mules, 22 American Saddle
Horses, 13 head of grade horses
for work stock and 24 head of vet
erinary stock.
The AH department believes that
this total of 136 horses is the
greatest number of horses owned
by any other college.

—AGGIES LEAVE—
(Continued from Page 3)
great part of his glee was also
caused by the grand display of
all the centers. Not one fumble oc
curred in the backfield, with Sib
ley, Holder Mercer and Cotton Wil
liams doing a great job in snap
ping the ball.
Their defense work was great,
too, with Williams coming through
with three interceptions of A. & I.
aerials. One of the interceptions,
however, was nullified by an Ag
gie penalty.
An odd part of the game came
in the final period when Felix Bu-
cek broke through to block Gilbert
Steinke’s kick and covered it in the
end zone.
From all appearances it seem
ed that the Aggies had a score,
but Bucek had one foot out of the
zone, which caused the officials
to give the cadets only two points.
Steinke DID NOT step out of the
end zone as previously reported
by a number of papers.
The Aggies came out of the San
Antonio fray without any serious
injuries. Leo Daniels suffered a
slightly bruised knee and Les Rich
ardson was still seen hobbling
around yesterday afternoon, but
both suited up yesterday and are
expected to be in top shape by Sat
urday. Richardson had a hum knee
last Saturday before the game,
causing him to give way to Weldon
Maples, who, by the way, played a
grand game.
“The soft tissues of the mouth
require as careful watching as the
teeth, to keep them in a healthy
condition,” according to Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer.
“One of the more common dis
eases to which these soft tissues
are subject is a germ known as
‘Vincent’s infection” also called
‘trench mouth’ from the fact that
it was very prevalent among sol
diers in crowded camps and
trenches during the World War.
These two names are given to
the disease when it affects the
gums and supporting structures of
the teeth; sometimes it affects
the throat and tonsils, in which
case it is called ‘Vincent’s angina.’
“One peculiarity of the germs
that cause ‘trench mouth’ and Vin
cent’s angina’ is that they may
live and thrive in the absence of
oxygen. They enter the mouth
and become fixed between the
teeth, under the gum margin and
beneath the margins of fillings and
crowns. They grow in and about
decayed teeth. They are more
likely to be active and cause the
disease to develop in mouths that
s not kept clean and not well
cared for than in clean, healthy
mouths.
“The infection may he picked up
through the use of common drink
ing cups, dishes or cooking uten
sils that have not been thoroughly
cleaned, through drinking from in
sanitary fountains and in other
ways. It can be spread to others,
just as colds are, through cough
ing and sneezing.
“The disease is highly contagious
and spreads very easily from per
son to person. It is characterized
by bleeding and sore gums, and
finally by ulcers in the soft tissues.
In acute form the disease is pain
ful and causes great discomfort.
In extreme cases the infection may
spread through the entire system
with very serious results.
“Of course, not all bleeding or
sore gums or bad breath are due
to ‘trench mouth,’ but at the first
indication of such symptoms—no
matter what the cause—a doctor
or dentist should be consulted
promptly and his advise and in
struction should he followed with
the utmost care. Those who de
velop the disease must also take
every precaution to keep from
passing the infection on to others.”

Modern Choir—all girls—will in

Hall for the evening. Quentin Rey
nolds, international correspondent
and news commentator, will appear
on February 23, with a lecture.
Aggies remember the popularity
of the ballet as presented by
Catherine Littlefield and her troop;
so the troop of Anges DeMille will
come to Town Hall on March 5.
Following Agnes DeMille, on April
7, A. & M.’s own Singing Cadets
will present a concert.
Sometime in May, another swing
session similar to the one present
ed by Duke Ellington last year
before, the Infantry Ball, will be
given. The exact date and the
name of the orchestra to be pre
sented has not yet been disclosed,
but Fred Smitham has assured
us that it will be a “darned good
one.”
