Col. Andy Seeks Ninth
Conference Track Flag
■ Frank G. (Col.) Andy’s track-
StC'l'S will be seeking their ninth
conference flag since he took over
the reigns in 1922.
I He is in his 33rd year a A&M
during which time he has served
21 years as track coach. He spent
« 11 years as corps commandant and
also briefly as frosh football coach
in 1920 and 21.
I Col. Andy has won eight South-
* i^-est conference titles at A&M and
is heavily favored to repeat this
year, making it three in a row and
Six in the last seven years.
I Col. Andy’s Aggies won the SWC
PPfernck crown in 1922, 29, 30, 47, 48,
49, 51, and 1952.
I He was track coach here from
4.922 through 1935 and again from
1947 to the present. He was com-
^Bnandant of the corps from 1936 to
1946, except for the time he ser-
^yed in World War II. He’s a great
^Believer of amateur athletics and
^Believes in his trackmen making
^Hhe team before getting a scholar
ship. He has more than 100 boys
in uniform the school-year round
and will not jeopardize his varsity
men by giving scholarships to high
school graduates.
Harrow Hooper, Olympic shot
put runner-up is the last boy to
be given a freshman scholarship
by Col. Andy.
Col. Andy was born in Sparta,
Tenn., in 1891 and was an out
standing high school athlete in
the pole vault and football. He at
tended Mississippi college under
Coach Dana X. Bible, who called
Andy “one of the best running
backs I have ever coached.”
He won 12 letters in college—
four each in football, baseball and
track. Col Andy is a great believer
in “coaching” his athletes—deve
loping unknows into steady per
formers, the kind needed to win
track meets.
He attended the 1952 Olympic
games at Melsinke, Finland last

May Award Letters
To Soccer Players
Varsity letters may be award
ed to members of the Aggie Soccer
team next year.
The team made a good showing
this year by winning the Texas
International Soccer League
championship. This was the first
year the league was formed. There
were five teams in the league.
Members are Texas, A&M, Bryan
Air Force Base, University of
Houston, and Allen Academy.
“I think we should have an even
better team next year,” said Guil
lermo Cardenas, captain. Cardenas
also coached the team this year.
There is a good chance games
will be scheduled with schools in
Louisana and California.
“Many Aggies think soccer is
for Latin American students only
but this is not so” said Cardenas.
Cardenas led the league in scor
ing last year with 16 goals to his
credit. He also played a fine de
fensive game for the Cadets. A&M
beat Texas for the flag by win
ning one game from them and
tieing the other.
Jerry Nelson To Start Today
Aggie baseball coach Bea Bell
will throw Jerry Nelson against
Texas today in a attempt to keep
them from tieing SMU for the
title.
Texas has a conference record
of 10 wins against 3 defeats. SMU
has finished conference play with
a 12-3 mark. A win by the Aggies
would give the Mustangs undis
puted possession of the flag.
The Longhorns could represent
the conference in the playoffs
against Arizona by virtue of tak
ing their series with SMU 3-1.
Mel Work will start Saturday’s
game announced Bell. Work has
had some hard luck this year and
hasn’t compiled the record he was
expected to by Bell. He is a junior
with one more year of eligibility.

ARMY and AIR FORCE
GRADUATES!
We now have in stpek the NEW OFFICER’S
GUIDE. This new volume brings up to date the val
uable features of its predecessors, and constitutes a
treasure chest of helpful information and guidance.
Officers of all grades and length of service, on
active or inactive duty, recognize the value of having
THE OFFICER’S GUIDE available for ready refer
ence and wise counsel. Half a million officers have
used this book in its many editions. THE OFFICER’S
GUIDE is not, as supposed by many individuals, a
guide designed solely for junior officers. True, most*
junior officers do acquire copies early in their career
as there is no substitute for this reliable and ever
ready source of helpful information. However, many
experienced officers of senior grade with many years
of service find THE OFFICER’S GUIDE a highly use
ful and time saving reference.
The officer’s family will also benefit by reading
this comprehensive volume. Selected sections such as
Army Posts and Stations, Foreign Service and Life in
Oversea Commands, Customs of the Service, The Code
of the Army, and Leaderhsip help to orient your family
on the military way of life. To a surprising degree
the cai'eer of an officer is influenced by his wife. She
can contribute most to his successif she is fully in
formed as to the Army’s codes, requirements, customs,
and opportunities.
This new edition is in tune with the situation of
today and tomorrow. Considerable revision has been
accomplished to incorporate important changes in reg
ulations.
