Immediately after leaving Cor
nell in 1902, he came here as an
instructor and was made Head of
the Horticulture Department in
1905 and later Dean of the School
of Agriculture when it was creat
ed in 1911. At that time there
were four departments and three
hundred students in this school,
while today there are fifteen de
partments and over 2400 students
in 1942. It has been the largest
agricultural school in the world
for the past decade and has gained
national recognition in its develop
ment of the economic or business
side of agriculture.
Being the first person to advo
cate the teaching of agriculture in
the public schools of Texas, it is
appropriate that Kyle should also

Aggies and Future
Aggies Shine in
Annual Game
Aggie coaches Homer Norton and
Lil Dimmitt had just cause to
be pleased with the showing of
Aggies and future Aggies at the
annual Texas High School All Star
game which was played in Wichita
Falls last week. Eight of the foot
ballers who took part in that
dream game have reported that
they will be wearing the Maroon
and White this fall.
Gene Spires, scat back from Abi-*
lene was the big gun for the
North, scoring their lone touch
down and kicking the extra point.
Most writers agreed he showed up
better than Bobby Layne of High
land Park, Dallas, who was slated
to be the North’s star.
Paul Yates, the big back from
Amon Carter-Riverside of Fort
Worth, got off the longest run of
the game when he returned the
kickoff opening the third period
59 yards.
Harold Buckner, center from
Cleburne High School, played a
jam up game at the pivot position
for the Southerners.
Spires, Buckner, and Yates are
already enrolled at A. & M., and
took part in the summer drills.
The other boys who participated
in this game and who will be at

be the author of the state adopted
text on agriculture for the public
schools, and joint author of a high
school text. He has published num
erous bulletins on fruits and vege
tables and also made many ad
dresses.
Because he has been connected
with all phases of education, he
was selected by the Bureau of
Education in Washington to direct
the educational work in the survey
of the landgrant colleges which was
ordered by Congress. He also aid
ed in the establishment of the Fish
and Game Department and the For
estry Division here at A. & M. As
vice-chairman of the board of di
rectors in the Farm Credit Ad
ministration at Houston, he has a
voice in the largest financial insti
tution in the state.
In 1941 Kyle made a flying four-
months good will visit to Central
and South American countries un
der the auspices of the Council of
National Defense. Mexico, Nicara
gua, Costa Rica, Panama, Vene
zuela, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay,
Paraguay, Chile, Ecuador, Peru,
and Colombia were the countries
visited. He wrote to the Latin
American men who had attended
| A. & M. and was able to renew
acquaintances with many of them.
Kyle and athletics at A. & M.
have gone hEfhd in hand since be
fore the turn of the century when
he 'was a member of the track
team. Since returning here to serve
on the faculty in 1902, he has been
-connected with the Athletic Council
and has been chairman of the coun
cil since 1937. When he took over

Company Defeats
Officers, 14 to 8
The Commissioned Officers took
it on the chin again on the softball
diamond, this time losing to C Com-
pany by the score of 14
to 8 Fri-
day evening.
The “Bulls” were leading until
the sixth inning when
the cadets
went on a scoring spree and went
ahead. The Officers rallied in the
last inning but were unable to pull
the game out of the fire.
For the first five innings the
contest was an evenly fought af-
fair, but it developed into a slug-
fest in the final stages.
The dia- |
mond was rather soggy
as a re-
sule of the rain which fell earlier
in the afternoon.
$206,000.00 against the
stadium,
but this was erased five years
later. As part of his
work, he
established and developed the ath-
letic field which bears
his name,
Kyle Field.
