Little Jackie Miller probably set
some kind of record in fouling out
of a game when he entered the
game in its last stages when Texas
was trying to hold the ball. In his
efforts to obtain the sphere for
the Maroon and White, Jackie had
to foul the Texas guard Madsen
and soon collected five and had to
leave the game.

plane brought the “air force” to
its present strength of 13
planes. These two passenger
planes, incidentally, have been
used for 120,000 miles of pas
senger service for college offi
cials.
A new hangar, obtained through
the FPHA, was erected on the east
side of the field in the administra
tion building area in 1947. This
new structure now houses the of
fices for the airport manager, col
lege owned planes, and student
owned ships as well as shops for
aircraft maintenance and repair.
The latest improvements to' the
field came about last summer when
the college, working on an inter
cooperative basis with the CAA,
launched another grading and pav
ing project. Airplane and auto
parking lots were graded and
ramps and taxi-ways around the
new hangar area were paved.
The airport went on a 24-hour
operating basis at that time due
to the installation of field lights
for use in night operation. It
currently offers every faculty
for transient aircraft including
plane storage, gas storage, and
repairs.
Manager of the field is H. G.
Slnith, a former general manager
and vice-president of the Kadett
Aviation Company, dissolved in
July of 1944. Smith estimates that
an average of 100 or more of the
400 transient aircraft landing at
the field each month buy gas and
oil there.
Steady customers at the port are
army pilots with bases in this
area. As many as 150 army planes
have landed at the field in one
day. The largest amount of civil
ian air traffic uses the field dur
ing weekends of football games,
Smith said.
Thus in ten years the college
airport has grown from a cow pas
ture to a busy air terminal. Who
knows, they may establish an Ag
gie line out there in another year?
