There are also those who.

God's great creations, the earth.
As most geologists know, the earth
is composed of dirt,‘minerals, and
rocks. Dirt itself is interesting.
Minerals are a little -more interest
ing, but now we come to rocks.
Ahl Yes. There are rocks we use
for building purposes. Other rocks
are used sometimes after pugilism
fails." jjM j! jp
But Bruce McDaniels has the
geological viewpoint toward rocks.
He has' an enormous collection at
his home in Shreveport, Louisiana.
When in Odessia, Texas, he first
became;/interested in geology. His
father,! whq works for Gylf Oil,
had some friends, whom McDaniel
loved to hear talk. In fact, he
night have blccOme a little rtui-
>ance, running up to older friends
with arm loads of rocks screaming
for them to help kim classify them.
At that time he! was about seven
vears jof age.
When asked why he collected
rocks,! McDanicjls gave / a very

Hi & i r 11.
The freshman band is ijiow of-
f'.cially organized, followiptg the
apopintment of the dram-ma-
jors last Tdesday by Col. Adams,
Aggie band clifeetor. i
They ajta r Richard Gro^n and
iTsnMA W. Rogers, both fnim bar*

•Both tnen were jdrum-major* for
txio year* in their respective K gh
school*. They will alternat" during
the semester In b nding t to hi ml
|ni drill and playirtg, and w II prob
ably bring the bund tio the yell*
practices,; when possible.
[ This year’s freshman blind Will
number approximately one hun
dred pieces, and are. meeting for
practice with Colonel Adams each
Tuesday afternoon, and Wednes
day and Friday nornings. j .
They will play with the main | their competitors, wi|d receive
campus band at pll home football I awards for their victories. The
games, but will not drill during I Bropze awards will be given to the
half-time. The band will also make i members of the winning teams.
For you more athlei
ed freshmen who have
to find any athlete equipm
which to paM the long y
hours, here is some information
that will solve your problem.
Mr. Luke Harrison, wjho may
readily and truthfully/; be called
the freshmen's friend, has report
ed that there is ample, athletic
material and equipment accessible
to all who want to use it. There
are footballs, basketballs] punch
ing bags, medicine balls, volley
balls, weights and ping pong equip
ment available at the equipment
room of the gym. Equipment Will
be available from two iuntil six
o’clock on all days excppt Wed
nesday. Because of the! Rkte.C Q.
on Wednesdays, the equipment will
be available until eight-fifteen.
Cadets may check put the des red
..quipment, but must return it be
fore the equipment room closes.
The swimming pool will be kepi
-pen for student use as long as
the weather permits. ] Trom the
weathpr conditions of the past few
days, I don’t think it will remain
'pen very long.
The Lnal touches are being ap
plied to the intramural program.
Officials have been given rules on
flag fpotbal! and plans are being
irfade to have an exhibition game
here at the annex.
Football games between the va
rious companies are scheduled to
begin October 5. A regular schedule
hn* npt yet been made, but it will
be uiixied Immediately After com-
pk-tio i. j’ I li •: IjT]
Kiwth company will *e|ect one of
it* rt) mbera to nerve n* an officer.
The Officer will bold u position ai-
milnr to that of a coachi The team*
tnl^iag part in the! intramural pro
gram will be mndy up of member*
of each company. Team* for foot
ball, basketball, volleyball, tennis,
track, and boxing wlllj jpe formed
by each company,
Later in the year, open tourna
ments will be hold in [Which indi
viduals may take part as individ
uals, not as company representa
tive*! T ■
The top teams, or thos^ who have
proved themselves better than
three out-of-town games, to Waco,
Daljas, and to Austin, and /will
march in the parades in Dallas
and Austin.
Green and Rogers were appoint
ed by Colonel Adams, after several
other members of the band tried
fpr the position. Green had jbeen
the temporary drum-major during
fe'first few appearances of the
band. When not leading the band, with the exception of the regula-
Below are the more! important
rules of flag football. It would be
wise to read and study them so
as to be familiar with them when
active play begins.

Many of the freshman members
