An Editorial After the Score Saturday the 12th Man face* a challenge more demand ing than the one the team faces on Kyle Field. The manner in which this challenge is heeded may well be remembered long after the score of the game is forgotten. The excitement of the first conference game, particular ly with a team which has been defeated for the last three years under most difficult circumstances, is stimulus for displays of rivalry bv spectators. In addition, this same school was th# site of the only rowdyism against A&M last year Since the game is scheduled on Kyle Field. Aggies must host not only the team, but the band and the fans from the college in Fort Worth. Several campus organizations have made the sounds of hosts, written the proper,letters of wel come and extended the expected invitations. Rut the real test of A&M's hospitality will not be at the open house in the MS(\ The task is harder for the 12th Man than the team since fans have no rulebooks to use as a guide. There are no referees in the stands. The Ags will be on their own and it will be on this occasion—not in the MSC—when the true colors of the school will l>e exhibited. It is a constant source of amazement to the would-be hecklers of Texas AIM to discovef'that the Farmers know how to act like gentlemen. Visitors to College Station seldom are treated as they would expect to be treated. Possibly this is true because the only yardstick they have to use is the way guests are treated on their own campus. The contest tomorrow’ should be confined to determin ing the better of the two football teams. There should be no question as to which school represented produces the high er calibre of men . . .

Texas Christian University, Southwest Conference title- favorite. will be out for A&M s hide on Kyle Field Saturday afternoon. The 2 p m. clash has l»een building up in the Froggies’ minds since that day—Oct. 15, 1955—when the Aggies out- scored and outplayed Abe Martin’s conference champions. That game was the only regular season game the Frogs lost. Since that game TCU gridders have been out to get re venge for that 19-16 downfall. But every year since they have fallen. This year TCU has the top defensive and offensive team in the Southwest Conference ♦ This is a title they will not | want to lose to the team who has lieaten them for the past three seasons by margins of thiec. unc and *uvcn point* in l!*.'>. r i, I9f>*>, Htid 1957, respectively.

Col E. V Adam*, ’29, who will lie completing hi* 100th drill with the organisation. Nearing hi* 13th year a* direc tor of the hand, Col. Adams i* moat modest about hi* accomplish ment*. He ha* never had an a«- isitant director, an amasmg thing to most college director* of smaller organisation* with two or three helper*, hut refer* $o all 243 mem ber* of the hand a* "my assist- apt* ” The ever-*miling director who insist* on calling every member of the hand by his first name came all the way from Bryan to A4M in 1925. Even then, he say* he wa* thinking of being director of the Aggie Band and made prvpa rations to be qualified when Col. Richard C. Dunn, author of the music for "The Spirit of Aggie land,” retired Col. Adams began formal muaic education while he was a young ster in Bryan; at A4M he earned a bachelor's degree in English and a master’s degree in education. He also studied muaic under Col. Dunn “on his own” and later at North western University and the Cincin nati Conservatory. C*>1. Adams returned to Aggie land in February, 1948, to take ever the job he had been groomed for. A ad although he receives "quite s few” letters of inquiry every year he is still leading the biggest band of its kind in tbe world The director with a hundred drills under his belt remember* a lot of thing* the band did when he wa* an undergraduate which j have long since been forgotten “In those days, we ju*t fell out ! in any sort of fashion- no one had a special place to march in a* they j de today. At halftime we just I marched up and down the fieI3 playing and formed the T’." he i said. “And the Aggie* seemed to 1 enjoy it a* much then a* they do now.” The director pla ns his (trills : single-handed one week ahead of time and lays out a rough sketch on graph paper before practice be gins. All the instructions are given orally during the four and otie-half hour* of practice a week from a room atop Dorm 11 over looking the band's practice grid iron. The even-tempered director sel dom raised his voice on the public address system he use* to be heard outside. Even during the fir*t i week when the band it breaking in 100 high *chool bandsmen, the sharpest word he utters is “s bass player in the twentieth rank is lost” or “there’s a hols between so and so that’s big enough to drive a wagon Utrough—if it's s small wagon '' Cal.
