Freshman Ropes
Ten Point Deer
so we took out after him. I didn’t
have any idea of roping the deer
until Mr. Jones said to chase, him.

so we followed them. They chased
him into a dry creek-bed with a few
holes of water standing in it. The

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.

BRINGS ’EM BACK ALIVE—Eddie Gray demonstrates
the technique he used in roping his 10 point buck. A fresh
man agriculture major from Baytown, Gray says the deer
-was not only the first he has roped, but also the first he
has ever bagged.
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 newspaper, which was first

two years in the corps as under
classmen.
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.

Notice to Aggieland:
We desire to express our sincere
thanks for your kindness during
the accident and sickness of

The flowers were beautiful.
Thanks to the entire hospital staff.
May God bless each and every one

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. R. Latimer Jr.

Stamp Collectors Club
May Be Formed Here
Philip Stern, senior from Lufkin,
is trying to start a stamp collectors
club here.
The purpose of the club would
be to exchange information and
stamps and to aid members in col
lecting stamps, Stern said.
He would like to have some in
structor who is interested in stamp
collecting to sponsor the club,
which would be open to students,
faculty members and their wives.

-Tire we stretching things a bit? May
be — but when you find out how mild
and sweet and refreshing the Medico
pipe can be, you’ll go for Medico, too!
It’s the replaceable filter in Medico
that makes the big difference. That
little filter traps dangerous nicotine
and tars, disagreeable juices and flakes.
That s why countless smokers, begin
ners and old timers alike, who never
enjoyed the pleasures of a pipe, now en
joy the clean mild fragrance of Medico
— the pioneer in filtered smoking.
Try a Medico Pipe. See why Medico’s
filter has sold over a billion to date!
