Jistiee Rutledge disshnted. He
said she Should he admitted at once.
The court’s order said that the
case was in the hands of the Okla
homa State Courts and that the
Okb homu courts must rule yn the
case before thej Supreme Court
ttoull take any further steps.
Mrs. Fisher njade the dgmatid
for immediate admission in a pe
tition filed with the Supreme Court
January 26—three davs before be-
irinr ing of the school’s new term.
The petition asiked a writ of man
damus to require her immediate
admittance to the all-whitej insti
tution.
Anything less than such an or-
her petition; said, would not

p'ew men; on the campijs today
know what a rebel yell sounds like,
but those few say that it is NOT
thy same as any current Aggie
yell. However, It is likely that the
I repel yell wjaa) hjften heard on the
A£M campus in the early days.
The college was established by and
stuffed by Confederate veterans,
apd most of the early students
were, sons of the “boys In grey."
The term “yell” probably became
fixed on all Aggie cheers at that
tiipe.
The oldest Aggie yells in use to
day are two preserved as part of
the words of the Aggie War
Hymn: “Ch g-ga-raa-gur-cm” and
“Hullabaloo caneck caneck,” An-
otier old one is "Farmers Fight,”
al io includejd in the War Hynan.

A&M traditions than any other
Aggie, even more than Sully Ross.
For one thing, he introduced a dog
mascot, who not only wore a blan-
kot but .trousers as well! This
took place during the season of
m
1915, 17 years before R^veRle ap
peared.
Hanson originated the T forma
tion. It became quite ;a colorful
spectacle, for each cadet carried
a maroon handkerchief in one
hand, white handkerchief in the
other. As signals were giV<‘ n . the
T would suddenly become all ma
roon, all white, or white on one
side, maioon on the other.
Another touch Of color it) Han-t
son’s day was the creation of the
letters A M C in the stands. White
hirts were worn under the blue
ouses as regulation at that time.
Cadets seated at certain spots in
theXstands took off their coats,
letting their white shirts show —
and tn^re was A M C in living
letters.
Still another touch of color at
football games is remembered by
students stiRon the campus. Cam
paign hats us^d to contain red lin
ings, and wheh hati were flashed
during certain \vells, the stands
became brilliantly red.

That game was played at the
Brazos County Fair Grounds, on
College Avenue where KazmeW’s

called Kyle Field In honor of sev
eral numbers of the Kyle family,
many of whom had been prominent
in A&M affairs.
