I didn’t have any idea of roping the deer until Mr. Jones said to chase, him. “The dogs were chasing the deer, so we followed them. They chased him into a dry creek-bed with a few holes of water standing in it. The By BOB HENDRY Battalion Feature Editor There are many ways to bag a deer, but A&M Eddie Gray of Bay- town used one of the strangest— he roped his. And the deer was a 10 point dogs brought the buck to bay in one buck at that. Not only was it the of these. , first he has roped, it was also the first deer he has ever bagged, Gray said. The incident occurred on a Sat urday morning about a month ago. Gray had broke the tip of a whip he had brought from home-, and had gone to a saddle shop in Bryan to have it fixed. At the shop he met Arbery Jones, a Navasota rancher, who told Gray he could fix the whip. “While he was fixing it, we got to talking about working cattle,” Gray said. “I told him I’d like to see his ranch, so he invited me out. “Mr. Jones raises what are known as “leopard dogs” which trail cattle through bnish and bring them to hay. We got some horses and took the dogs along to round up some heifers. “We were chasing the heifers through some river bottom brush when a 10 point buck broke cover. We could see that the deer had screw worms eating on the back of its head. “Mr. Jones said ‘let’s catch him,’ “I lassoed the deer around the head, and both of us pulled him out. The run through the brush and struggling in the hole had tired the deer, but we were still mighty careful of those horns,” Gray said. Gray complimented Jones’ work in handling the buck. “I don’t think we would have got him if it hadn’t been for Mr. Jones’ exper ience,” he said. Gray and Jones brought the deer back to the ranch and treated it for screw worms. “I guess the worms had eaten too far in to save the deer,” Gray said. “When we came back the next morning he was dead,” he said. “I found when I cut him up to get his antlers that the medicine we had put on the worms had run down the holes and hit his brain.” A freshman agriculture major, Gray said he wrote his mother and girl about roping the buck. “My girl wrote back and said she thought I had been reading too many wild adventure stories,” he said. r^fTf wxfomni - ' ’i-p r -'T t ~ I i ■ I m m . ■ BRINGS ’EM BACK ALIVE—Eddie Gray demonstrates the technique he used in roping his 10 point buck.

Editors, The Battalion: In reading today’s Battalion (Nov. 4.), I must say that I was really amazed at one of the let ters to the editor that I happened to read. In particular, I am referr ing to the letter written by Mr. Adams, Mr. Robards, and Mr. Rankin. Now Mr. Adams, Mr. Robards and Mr. Rankin, I would just like to ask you who you think you are ? Evidently since you are now juniors you must have the feeling that you are pretty “hot stuff” and every one should bow down to you as you manipulate your blue-jean clad carcasses around the campus. What do you mean by proposing class distinction among the non- regs ? I guess your next step will be to try and get freshman non- regs to wear fish stripes on their clothes or something similar to that so that when you sit; down at the meal table you can get some of that “meal service” that you so generously gave out during your The Battalion Lawrence Sullivan Ross, Founder of Aggie Traditions “Soldier, Statesman, Knightly Gentleman” journalist’ to Be Published Soon The next issue of the Texas A&M Journalist, a newspaper published “in the interest of a greater A&M journalism department,” will be distributed vgpmetime in February, said C.

And merely because you failed to cast your VALUABLE vote in the election concerning the non- reg seating plan, you are seeking some one else to put the blame on so you say that you didn’t even know the voting procedure. Well men, (I use that word rather losse- ly) I must say that the news of the voting was carried in the Batt and 1 even saw posters up telling of the voting. Why don’t you accept the fact that your underclassmen non-regs are equal to you and quit griping for awhile. It might help your morale. G. Martin ’55 Notice to Aggieland: We desire to express our sincere thanks for your kindness during the accident and sickness of Dickie’s. The flowers were beautiful. Thanks to the entire hospital staff. May God bless each and every one of you. Mr. & Mrs. R. E. Robertson Benavides, Texas The Battalion Texas A&M College Station, Texas Dear Sir: This morning (Nov. 4) when tak ing a group of children to school, Ann Ritchie, age 7, who has two brothers Frank and Charlie at A&M, expressed her feelings re garding the seating arrangement in Little Rock last weekend. I feel sure many Aggies will agree, es pecially those attending the Ark ansas game. The discussion was regarding the unfortunate loss to Arkansas when Ann said, “Yes and the police made the Aggies move because they were standing up.” She continued, “They can’t help it if they stand up— that’s their religion.” Sincerely, Mrs. J.
