JOHNNY JOHNSON EDITOR David Stoker 'Managing Editor Bob Weekley Sports Editor Spirit Counts If Spirit can win ball games, then the Aggies can look forward to a string of five victories for the remainder of the season. , The Spirit shown today by members of the Corps of Cadets before noon meal formation and by all Aggies at the game Saturday against Texas Christian University shows what makes Aggies men. It doesn’t take much Spirit to yell for a team when they are winning, but to yell like the Men of Aggieland did Satur day at Fort Worth shows the difference between Aggies and college students. The Twelfth Man has become synonymous with Spirit throughout the nation. No other college or university can boast the reputation for the undying Spirit that the Men of Aggieland possess. Things haven’t been easy for the Ags since that day in 1922 when then Texas A&M Coach D. X. Bible called into the stands for King Gill to initiate the Twelfth Man tradition. That spirit of readiness, desire and enthusiasm kindled a flame of devotion throughout the entire student body—a Spirit that has grown through the years. This Spirit covers more than athletic events. It is the basis for the largest fraternity in the world—the Men of Aggieland. The reception given Jim Myers today by the Corps was another example of this famous Aggie Spirit—the same Spirit that has supported Cadet athletic teams through both fat and thin years. For a team that isn’t supposed to win but four games all year and finish sixth in the conference, the Cadets are already proving the experts wrong. This season is far from being the worst football season in Texas A&M’s history. No further back in history than 1954, when the Ag’s only win was a 6-0 victory over Georgia, things have been worse for the Texas Aggies. The Men of Aggieland will continue to carry on the tradition of the Twelfth Man and the athletic teams will continue to fight for us. They’re our representatives. It’s up to us to support them—win, lose or draw.

BY BOB SAILE Battalion Staff Writer One of the outstanding names in the field of modern language is that of Jack Autrey Dahbs, professor in the Department of Modern Languages and a mem ber of the A&M faculty since 1950. Dabbs is recognized as an au thority on many phases of mo dern languages, notably Indo- European linguistics, Latin Ajnerican history and translation and interpreting in the armed forces. Among the many articles and books which he has had pub lished are the following: “Namelore in Latin America”, a bibliography of name studies published in September, 1953; “The Texas Missions in 1785”, published in January, 1939; “The Spanish Crown and Early Ameri can names”, published in June, 1955; and “Translators and In terpreters in the Armed Forces”, published in Military Review in January, 1956. Dabbs joined the A&M faculty in 1950 as an assistant professor in the Department of Modern Languages and is now a profes sor in that department. Dabbs was born on Jan. 31, 1914, in Mercury, Texas. He served in the Army during the 1940-48, serving as a military government officer and attaining the rank of captain. He spent two years in Germany, and seven months in Korea. While in Ger many, he was given the job of translating captured Nazi docu ments and Nazi party records for use in the war crimes trials. One of the tedious aspects of the job, as he recalls it, was sorting out (with adequate assistance), nine million Nazi registration cards. In 1941 he married Anna V. Dahbs and now resides with her and his daughter, Danielle E. Dabbs, at 1101 Edgewood in Bryan. Dabbs attended the University of Texas, Tarleton State College, Eskimos in Alaska have a popu lar sport; Vcalldd “nalakutuk,” or “blanket tdssihgJ’ A tough walrus skin is used' for the blanket, and the contestant is tossed high in the air. The winner is the one who can land and stay on his feet. the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, the Uni versity of Virginia and the Uni versity of Guanajuato in Mexico. He was assistant professor of Spanish and French at St. Ed ward’s University in Austin dur ing the years 1938-40 and 1948- so! Among the research projects which Dabbs now has underway are an index verborum, a history of exploration of Central Asia and an Archives of Mariano Riva Palacio. William B. Roman, Jr., M. D.
