The Paddlefeet were born with

The familiar crossed rifles and
blue patch have graced the uni
forms of Aggies since Gathright
signed up the first student For
years, they had a monopoly, but
then, with the coming of the Signal
Corps and Field Artillery in 1918,
they gradually gave way to other
units.,,
But they haven’t given an
inch in outfit pride. It’s still vir
tually the same. The Infantry
Regiment—which call boast fa
mous men from George F. Moore
to Loupot—is today one of the
three largest branch units on the
campus.
Infantrymen are: by and large

A Company boys attribute this
success to the fact that they do
not stress class distinction on
the teams or elsewhere in the
ootfit.
With intramurals occupying
such an important place \ in A
Company’s make-up, emphasis on
scholastics and military is not too
heavily placed. Observance of CQ
and extra drill are not stressed. In
fact, the outfit is admittedly slop-
f iy as a marching unit. The fel-
ows in A Company spend most of
their time in bull sessions which
they claitn are of the finest variety
to be found on the campus.
