An Aggie Fan
By VANCY MANNING
Battalion Staff Writer
'Football is our life,” Mrs.
Sybil Smith, wife of assistant
head football coach Elmer Smith,
says.
“It’s been a good life for us,
and I have no regrets about it,”
she added.
Mrs. Smith enjoys football as
well as other sports. She attends
all home games and has sat in the
same section of Kyle Field ever
since her husband became assist-
f ( , ant coach.
“I like everything about A&M,
especially the friendliness,” Mrs.
it Smith said. “I have never met
a boy on campus who didn’t speak
tome,” she continued.
Mrs. Smtih added that she
I could not say enough about how
wonderful A&M is.
she teaches eighth and ninth
grade English at Anson Jones
Junior High School.
“I enjoy my work and it comes
first except on days of football
|ames,” she said. “On those days
everything is football,” she added
smiling.
Life as a coach’s wife has not
been dull for her, but sometimes
she does find it lonely because her
husband is at work from 6 a.m.
intil about 10 p.m.
rOur house is happiness per
sonified when we win a game,”
she said. “But if we lose, we try
look at the bright spots and
the future,” she continued.
Mrs. Smith thinks that the fans
ire wonderful and that the team
sould not get along without their
support.
She loves the large crowds at
the foot' [ ames an d the Aggie Band. “I
durinfS hink the band is just great,” she
aid.
"It really takes an intelligent
arson to play football,” Mrs.
Smith noted. “There is so much

Mrs. Smith who is from Arkan
sas says that A&M has become
home to her.
“Elmer loves every hour of
football and it has rubbed off on
me,” she said. “You just couldn’t
be around him and not love it,”
she added.
Although some might think
that life as a coach’s wife is not
a happy one becaus of the losses,
Mrs. Smith says that the wins
make up for the losses. “But
then I can’t think of any profes
sion where you win all the time,”
she said.
“A loss really hurts because
I know how hard the players have
worked before and during a
game,” she said.
Reading is one of her favorite
pastimes. She reads all sports
magazines and the sports section
of three newspapers.
After football season is over,
she and Coach Smith enjoy work
ing in their rose garden.

Ag Hall Of Fame
To Induct Four
MRS. ELMER SMITH
Four Aggie greats of yester
year will be inducted into Texas
A&M’s Athletic Hall of Fame in
a brief ceremony prior to the
Aggie-Baylor football game here
Saturday afternoon.
The four inductees will be:
Dutch Hohn, class of 1912; the
late Siki Sikes, class of 1928;
Uncle Bill James, A&M line
coach 1935-1947 and Wally Moon,
class of 1951.
Hohn played football and base
ball at A&M in the 1909-1913 era.
He is the only Aggie ever to be
named all-conference three years
in football at three different
positions; guard in 1909, tackle
in 1910 and end in 1911 when
he was team captain. He also
won three baseball letters and
was captain in 1912.
Sikes played on SWC title
teams in 1925 and 1927 and won
all-conference in 1927. He won
three letters in three sports for
three years. He was captain of
the 1928 basketball team. He was
pitcher-first baseman in baseball
and was all-conference in 1928.
Uncle Bill James, who owned
and operated Camp Stewart for
nearly a half-century, coached at
Birmingham, Ala., High, Fort
Worth Central, one year at TCU
and 10 years at Texas before
coming to A&M.
Moon, now athletic director and
head of physical education at
John Brown University at Siloam
Springs, Ark., passed up a base
ball offer from St. Louis Cardi
nals to come to A&M where he
won two letters each in baseball
and basketball before finally
signing with the Cards.
