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,

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.
