All breeds of dairy cattle, as
well as beef cattle, will be seen
in competition at the Exposition

ing show of both purebred beef
and dairy cattle.
New ideas for 1961 farm prac
tices will be depicted in a much
enlarged farm equipment show at
this year’s Exposition over any
past year, the management re

racing and exciting contests where
cowboys will test their skill and
stamina to stay aboard hard buck
ing, fast whirling and always dan
gerous Brahma bulls.

By Stray Shot
Herbert Mills, senior building

ing accident occurring Friday,
Oct. 21, when he was struck in
the eye with a No. 8 pellet from
a 12-guage shotgun.

seven miles from Bryan, when he
was hit from a distance of approx

“I’ve got spurs that jing-
gle, jangle, jingle;
I’ve got spurs that jingle
all day long!”
So come the strains of the old
song, drifting over the campus
mingled with the jingling and
jangling of some 4,000 spurs as
the freshmen get ready for the
annual grid clash with the South
ern Methodist Mustangs Nov. 5 in
Dallas.
Yes, it’s that time again. Fresh
men are putting on their spurs
and taking them off and then
putting them on again. Profes
sors are stopping in the middle of
their lectures to let the man with
the spurs go by.
And everybody is getting ready
to march on Dallas for the first
Corps Trip of the year.
Ready To Take ’em Off
The Fish, in particular, are anx
ious for the end of the week to
arrive. Because then they can
take off those dadburned spurs.
Some have even said they’d like
to throw them clear to SMU cam
pus.
“Freshmen have been wearing
spurs ever since I can remember,”
said P. L. (Pinky) Downs Jr.,
official college greeter. “It’s one
of the oldest traditions at A&M
and it’s been kept alive by each
succeeding class.”
Freshmen began wearing the
spurs Monday and will continue
wearing them all week long.
The opinion most freshmen have
toward the spurs is generally one
of “good bull.”
Worrisome Wire Monsters
There are those, however, who
don’t feel any great affection for
the worrisome wire monsters. Con
sider the case of the hapless Fish
who started to class wearing two
spurs only to find one missing
when he got there.
Spurs are as varied as the fresh
men who wear them. Some are
Cadet Forward-Wall Praised — Page 4
elaborate affairs, wrapped in tape
and extending behind the wearer
a good two feet.
Then some are very simple, con-
only of a piece of coat hanger
wire with a few hastily flattened
Coke caps attached to the end.
One freshman was seen drag
ging two empty beer cans behind
each foot.
Some spurs will stay on and
some just won’t. One Fish may
get from his dorm clear to the
Academic Building without having
to stop to retrieve a lost spur while
his buddy may be stooping down
every third step to tie his on again.
On the other hand, some spurs
just won’t come off, and that
freshman who made it to the Aca
demic Building without a mishap
may find he’s become permanently
attached to his.
This might also be the case when
it finally comes time to take the
spurs off for good. Then Fish
Jones, who has been swearing all
week that he’s going to “throw,
those darn things so far, they’ll go
into orbit,” will find them hanging
on his bulletin board early Mon
day morning.
Cadets Praised
After March-In
“The Corps of Cadets is the finest body of marching men
I have seen in a long time,” was the comment of Lt. Gen.
James E. Briggs commanding general of the United States
Air Force Training Command, after he took the salute at the
.-♦football contest between A&M and
That time again, Army
... Charles Brandt, C-2 fish
the University of Arkansas Sat
urday night.
Gen. Briggs’ comment can be
considered a fine compliment to
the Corps of Cadets, since formerly
he was the superintendent of the
United States Air Force Academy
at Colorado Springs, Colo.
Accompanying Gen. Briggs to
the game was Brig. Gen. Norman
Callish, commanding general of
Mather Air Force Base iq Calif
ornia.
The “magnificient” performance
of the Aggie Band greatly impress
ed the general in both their play
ing and their precision marching
before the game and during the
half-time performance.
«
“I was surprised at the size of
the corps,” said Gen. Briggs, “I
had no idea that it was as large as
it is.”
Gen. Briggs also commented on
the fine show of Aggie spirit dur
ing the game. He especially laud
ed the Corps in the excellent pre
cision in which their yells and
songs were executed during the
course of the gang.
