STICKING IT UP—Shown here are a group of freshmen and sophomores pushing a log
onto the stack by means of sticks. Some logs were stacked in this manner, but most
of them were moved by means of a winch truck. The bonfire is larger around at the
bottom this year than it was last year but it is not quite as tall. It is scheduled to
burn tomorrow night.

Football Telecasts
Takes Preparation
A lot of work has to be done
to get ready for a national telecast
of a football game. Most of the
preliminary work for the two tele
casts from Kyle Field this year
were done weeks before the re
gional broadcast of the Baylor
game here Oct. 22.
Thursday is the big one, NBC-
TV’s “Game of the Day,” the first
of its kind from Kyle Field. Foot
ball fans in every corner of the
nation will get to see the tradition
al Turkey Day game between the
Aggies and the Longhorns from
the University of Texas.
Earlier this year technicians of
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company installed transmitter
equipment atop the stadium press
box, ‘and a portable microwave ra
dio relay tower was readied at lola,
about 20 miles away. The project
was carried on by Southwestern
Bell, in cooperation with the
Southwestern States Telephone
Company which operates the Col
lege Station and Bryan telephone
exchanges.
The big job is to supply a tem
porary link between here and Mad-
isonville, the closest point on the
Bell System nationwide television
network. To. do this, the signal
produced by the TV cameras and
equipment is delivered to a trans
mitter atop the press box, with
the transmitter directed at lola.
There, a 150-foot portable tower
has a receiver to pick up the signal
f#>m Kyle Field and a transmitter
to send it on to Madisonville.
Letters
(Continued from Page 2)
ask you old Army!
Do we say and continue to say,
that we have the greatest school
in the world, and yet let this in
competence rule in the most im
portant place on the campus—the
hospital ?
Those vital fifteen minutes could
mean that boy’s life . . . and then
we would express our regrets and
keep telling each other that some
thing should be done to improve
our “hospital.”
The life of that sophomore is in
the hands of good doctors and God
Almighty now, and all we can do
for him is to pray for his recovery.
But will this malicious incompet
ence continue until another acci
dent like this occurs and we are
heart-sick again with the grief of
one of our fellow Aggies being in
jured or dying because of ineffi
cient care ? Is this . . . “True to
each other as Aggies can be?”
Let’s put that fighting Texas
Aggie Spirit behind a drive to re
move or improve that so-called
“Horse-pital.”
J. P. Greenwalt, ’58
At Madisonville the signal is
picked up on a receiver located on
a 50-foot platform and is delivered
to the coaxial cable at a “repeater”
(or amplifier) station in east Mad
isonville.
From that city the signal is sent
to Chicago via Dallas, Oklahoma
City and St. Louis for transmission
to all television stations on the
NBC-TV network. It goes across
the country by coaxial cable or ra
dio relay, or both, and is delivered
to the apparatus panels of the
various TV stations. It is moni
tored along the way to make sure
the quality stays good, and at
some points, the program may be
switched so that stations in var
ious cities are fed from a single
location.
To insure an uninterrupted tele
cast of the game, the company is
providing two complete and sep
arate but similar paths for the tele
vision signal to take.

The fabrics are the choice pieces
selected from the offerings of
America’s greatest woolen mills.
The patterns and colors have been
selected with taste and care and
each is classic in itself.
Those skilled Rochester tailors of
Michaels-Stern have done an out
standing job of needling these
fabrics into really handsome suits.
And the price is, by comparison
with other suits, so attractive that
you must see these soon.
