King Gill Recalls Grid Game
Inspiring A Sacred Tradition
By RAY HARRIS
D. X. Bible motioned to a young
man in the press box spotting for
a sports writer. When King Gill
came down through the stands and
took his place on the empty bench,
the nucleus for the most sacred
Aggie tradition was formed.
Dr. E. King Gill is today an eye,
ear, nose, and throat specialist
and has been practicing in Corpus
Christi since 1934. Activities in
civic and professional circles and
a tight daily schedule keep Dr.
Gill a busy man, but between
patients, he managed to tell how
spirit of the Twelfth Man origi
nated.
A decisively favored Center Col
lege team met the Aggies in a
gridiron contest on Jan 2, 1922.
They were sort of an outlaw
bunch and were rough, said Gill.
Dubbed the Praying Colonels,
the famed Center College gridders
Engineering graphics educators
from throughout the nation and
Canada will be on campus Wed
nesday through Friday for their
annual mid-winter meeting. W. E.
Street, head of the Department
of Engineering Graphics and con
ference host, said approximately
150 persons are expected for the
meeting of the Division of Engi
neering Graphics of the American
Society of Engineering Educators.
The theme of the conference will
be “Engineering Graphics — An
Essential Discipline of the Engi
neering Profession.”
THE PROGRAM INCLUDES a
bus trip Wednesday to the famed
domed stadium and ship channel
at Houston followed by a full
schedule of meetings and pre
sentations on Thursday and Fri
day. Conference sessions will be
held at the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
The public is invited to attend
the sessions at the MSC, Street
said. B. L. Wellman of the Wor
cester Polytechnic Institute is the
division chairman and will be pre
siding.
AMONG THE SPEAKERS will
be Col. Archie Higdon, head of
the Department of Mechanics at
the Air Force Academy. He will
speak at the noon luncheon Fri-
had established themselves as
formidable opponents. And they
had three All-Americans on the
1922 team to prove it. Previous
ly in the season, the Colonels had
crumpled Harvard, which at that
time was one of football’s all-time
upsets.
AS THE COLD, raw wind
swept through the wooden stands,
an inspired Aggie team found
themselves in big trouble, Gill
commended.
During the first quarter the
Aggies had battled the Colonels
to a standstill, but because of in
juries, its 18 man squad had been
reduced to only 11—the bench was
empty and three long quarters
remained to play.
“The game was a jinx,” Gill
said. “Our entire starting back-
field and one substitute had to
leave the game because of injuries
received in the first quarter.”
day. Higdon is vice president of
the American Society of Engi
neering Educators of the West
Sections.
Dean Fred J. Benson of the
College of Engineering will wel
come the visitors to the campus
at the first general assembly
Thursday morning, and Street will
give the opening remarks.
Pinky Keeps Tabs
On A&M Visitors
A total of 20,738 visitors were
on the campus during the months
of June, July, August, September,
October, November and December,
1963, P. L. Downs Jr., official
greeter of the University, an
nounced recently. They were at
tending short courses, conferences,
class reunions and other scheduled
meetings.
The university had 875,891 visi
tors on the campus for scheduled
meetings and other activities dur
ing the 14-year period and seven
months to Jan. 1, 1964, from June
1, 1949, Downs pointed out. They
spent $18,393,711, he estimated.
There were 13 different groups
on the campus in December repre
senting 1,994 visitors.
“Coach Bible knew I was spot
ting for a sports writer,” Gill said,
“and began motioning to the press
box and pointing to the bench.
Earlier in the season I had gone
out for football but dropped from
the squad to devote all my time
to basketball. At 165 pounds,
I was a little light for football.”
GILL KNEW WHAT Bible
wanted and ran down through the
bleachers and onto the field.
Gill put on Heinie Wier’s uni
form. Wier, the Aggie team capt
ain, was one of the casulties and
could not return to the game.
The stadium, which incidently
was near the present site of the
Cotton Bowl in Dallas, did not
have dressing rooms. In those
days we dressed before we reached
the stadium and took cabs or bus
es to the field,” said Gill. “Any
way,” he said, “I put on Wier’s
uniform. I don’t know what they
put on him. I guess they gave
him my clothes.”
THE REST OF THE TEAM
members managed to finished the
game and come up with an Ag
gie victory. Gill didn’t have to
play in that game, but what hap
pened that day has had far great
er effect on A&M than that one
inspiring win.
“Exactly how the tradition of
the Twelfth Man came about is
hard to say,” Gill said. “I think
it really got its start when a New
York City magazine, The Pigskin
Parade, published an article about
what happened sometime later.”
DR. GILL EARNED a starting
fullback position on the Aggie
football team the following sea
son. That year, his efforts were
a big part of a 14-7 A&M win
over the University of Texas.
At A&M, Gill earned letters in
basketball, baseball and football.
He also was a member of the
Cadet Corps and a member of the
Ross Volunteers.
Gill was graduated in 1924 with
a mechanical engineering degree.
That fall he coached at Green
ville High School. The following
year he entered the Baylor medi
cal school.
Upon graduation from medical
school, Gill entered the Army
Medical Corps. He spend some
time in the Army and retired
from the service with the rank of
colonel.
Gill and his wife now live in a
residential section of Corpus
Christi.
Salary Rate
Increase Slows
For Some Jobs
The rate of starting salary in
creases for electrical and aero ■
space engineering graduates is
slowing down, W. R. Horsley,
Placement Office director has an
nounced.
The College Placement Council’s
nation-wide 1963-64 survey shows
that seniors majoring in electri
cal and aeronautical engineering
are still receiving the top offers
with an average of $621 a month.
But in terms of starting salary
increases, they rank well below
new leaders.
Offers to prospective aerospace
engineers rose $15 and those to
electrical engineers went up $14
since the close of last season.
New leaders in starting salary
increases are marketing students,
with a $26 hike to $491; chemical
engineering graduates, $20 in
crease to $608; and business ma
jors, $20 increase to $503. Several
other curricula also recorded larg
er increases than areospace and
electrical engineering.

Presidential Order Creates
Warm Discussion At Society
The recent renaming at Cape
Canaveral to honor the memory of
the late president caused “a warm
discussion” at the annual meeting
of the American Name Society,
Dr. Jack A. Dabbs of the Depart
ment of Modern Languages re
ported.
Gist of the discussion was that
it is one thing to rename by presi
dential order a federal installation,
such as the missile base, but quite
another thing to rename a geo
graphical feature such as Cape
Canaveral.
“No one questioned the right
of the President to change the
name of any federally-owned in
stallation. . . ,” Dabbs said. A past
president, he now is an executive
councilman of the American Name
Society. The society is composed
of scholars and other professionals
interested in names.
“The society carefully tries to
stay clear of involvement in poli
tical matters,” Dabbs continued.
THE PROFESSOR said the pro
test by several senior members
of the society concerned the “legal
and moral right by which a presi
dential order could properly
change the name of a geographical
area, especially one as ancient as
Cape Canaveral.”
“It was pointed out,” Dabbs
said, ‘that Cape Canaveral is per
haps the oldest geographical name
