The Cadet Corps will not
maifh Into the riadtum before
the AAM > Southwestern game
Saturday, Col. U. S Meloy, com
mandant and I'MSAT, announc
ed Tuesday.
Since the AAM cadet corps Is
Ule only school In the conference
capable of putting on the pro-
game show, It Is Imped that all
students on the campus will co
operate in making the spectacle
a success. Last year's trouble be
tween those already seated ami
the radets will he avtrted this
fall If present plans are carried
out.
The advisability of singing
“The Twelfth Man” was dis
cussed earlier this week. Sug
gestions ranged from singing
the “Aggie War Hymn” while
marching into the stadium to
merely marching in and dis
missing the cadet* without any
singing.
Details concerning the march
before the other three home
games will be announced later.

more than the rules allow but it’s

Meyer also hit at the practice
of firm* paying athlete* so much
per month "to he their representa

Matty Bell of Southern Metho-

wrong with It. However, he did

a commissioner with the power of
a Judge Landis in baseball was
needed to prevent, a big “blow up"
in Southwest Conference athle

hearings and exact penalties was
necessary to prevent alumni and
others outride the schools getting
the athletes for the highest bid*.
Cherry was particularly bitter
against tactics which he said were
followed by some of Texas' oppo
nents in approaching it* athletes
and "knocking Ute - school" with
the idea of making them dissatis
fied.
Basketball coach Jack Gray of
the University of Texas said “an
athletic scholarship won't get an
athlete now. They ean get more
at other schools.”
Athletic director Ralph Wolf of
Baylor took a somewhat different
view from the others. “Why
doesn’t everyone practice what he

Wolf declared the only way to
cut out the so-called evllg of re
cruiting was for the atMetie di
rector* ta get together and agree
that they would be stopped. The
others agreed with him on this.
Nealy said the schools themselves
