Soldier Elected
Lt. Herman Yezak, ’38
First Lieutenant Herman Yezak,
’38, of Bremond, was elected State
Representative from the 63rd Dis
trict of Robertson County, while
still in Italy with American forces.
He went overseas late in 1943 and
his present address is APO 88,
New York City. Prior to going on
active duty he was Rural Super
visor with the Farm Security Ad
ministration, serving in county of
fices in Waco, Georgetown and
Marlin.
Lt. Yezak has twin brothers
who graduated in 1942, Ens. Mit
chell R. Yezak, and Andrew C.
Yezak, SF 2/c, both in the Navy.
Pfc. Dan Yezak, who attended in
1940, is another brother and now
in France.
It is possible that Representa
tive + Yezak will be back in the
U. S. in time to serve in the Leg
islature when it convenes next
January.
—KYLE FIELD—
(Continued from page 1)
ball teams, fighting Aggies, yell
ing men, all come to one’s mind.
The field was built in 1927 at a
cost of $365,000 and named in hon
or of Dean E. J. Kyle who was
at the time and still is the chair
man of the Athletic Council of A.
& M. College. The football stadium
on Kyle Field was built in mem
ory of James Sullivan. There is a
plaque on the wall of the entrance
to the field which bears this in
scription: “In appreciation of

James Sullivan, an untiring work
er in the cause of Aggieland.” Such
was the spirit in which the sta
dium was built. Five sections of
the stadium were built in 1927 by
J. E. Johnston Construction Com
pany. In 1929, sixteen more sec
tions were erected by Rollin J.
Windrow Company. The present
seating capacity of the stadium is
32,916 with 30 press seats and 60
box seats along the sidelines. Along
the outside of the football field
itself, is a quarter-mile cinder
track with a 220-yard straight
away. From this football stadium,
the spirit of the Aggies flows like
a giant stream.
Although Kyle Field is generally
spoken of when speaking of foot
ball, there is more here than meets
the eye. There is the DeWare Field
House, where Aggies have yelled
to a triumphant Aggie quintet till
the very rafters shook and oppos
ing teams have been forced to wear
ear muffs. The gym has a seating
capacity for about 3,500 spectators
besides housing class rooms, of
fices, lockers, showers and store
rooms. Adjacent to the DeWare
Field House is the Auxiliary Gym
nasium, with handball courts, a
basketball court, and large rooms
for physical training classes.
Kyle Field boasts of the new
P. L. Downs, Jr., Natatorium, the
finest in the South, containing a
pool 100 by 60 feet, lockers, show
ers and seats for 600 spectators.
Here classes in swimming are held,
and championship teams in water
sports are molded.
To the west of the stadium, is
the baseball grandstand of Kyle
Field. It seats about 4,000 spec
tators and Aggies who yell as the
Twelfth Man, staunch behind the
Aggie nine.
Recreation facilities of Kyle
Field are well taken advantage of
by the men on the campus. The
tennis courts, football fields, and
baseball diamonds adjacent to the
main baseball field, are used con
stantly either for intramural sports
or for recreation.
Truly, Kyle Field is the home of
the Texas Aggie. It is here that
the corps is united into one body
with one spirit for one accord.
Through victory or defeat, the Ag
gies have acted as one to back
those who wear the maroon and
white.
When Ponce de Leon first saw
the low white sand dunes and the
surf rolling in upon the mainland,
he named it Florida after Pascua
Florida, the Easter Sunday in 1513
on which he landed there.

CARD OF APPRECIATION
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
I want to take this opportunity to ex
press my sincere appreciation to the resi
dents of College Hills for being so con
siderate Sunday, August 27 as the water
was cut off at a very crucial time, during
the noon hour. Several calls came in only
wanting information. None were critical.
We have had many breaks recently. Many
times they were repaired with the pressure
on which is quite a bit of punishment to
the workmen, but large main breaks can
not be repaired with the pressure on.
Again let me assure you this was greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Lloyd D. Smith
