A storied era in the history of Texas A&M athletics comes to a close this month with the retire ment of Aggie Athletic Director Barlow (Bones) Irvin. Irvin, whose retirement is ef fective January 31, has already started cleaning out his desk. He is officially taking the last two weeks of the month as vacation time but will be in and out of the office during that time. His replacement has not been officially announced as yet. IRVIN, ds a student-athlete, coach and athletic administrator, has spent 27 years at Texas A&M, the last 19 continuously. He first came to Aggieland as a student in the fall of 1922. He played varsity football three years and was an all-Southwest Conference tackle in his senior season of 1925. Then he played two seasons of pro football with the Buffalo (NY) Bisons before entering the coaching field as head football mentor at St. Mary’s in San An tonio. He returned to Aggieland in 1931 as assistant freshman football coach and then became the line coach under Matty Bell in 1933. He returned to San Antonio in 1934 as football line coach and head track coach at Brackenridge High. In 1942 he moved over to Thomas Jefferson High in the Alamo City as head football and track coach. IN SIX seasons as Jefferson his football teams won 48, lost 16 and tied 3. His teams advanced to the state quarterfinals twice and to the finals once. Among his players were Kyle Rote, who became All-America at SMU. He again returned to A&M in 1948, never to leave again until this month. He coached the A&M Fish in football one year and then, on July 8, 1949, he became Athletic Director. During his tenure as AD, Kyle Field stadium was expanded, first in 1953 and again last season. He also was instrumental in add ing a new press box to the sta dium in 1953. WHEN PAUL Bryant became Athletic Director and head foot ball coach in 1954, Irvin was named assistant athletic director, a post he held under three coaches —Bryant, Jim Myers and Hank Foldberg. Irvin again became ath letic director when Gene Stallings was named head football coach in December, 1964. Irvin was born in Cotulla, Tex., Dec. 31, 1903 and moved to San Antonio when he was eight years old. He has always called the latter city his home. At an early age he contacted t; ; 1 —id fever and when he re covered he was a mere whisper of himself. “He’s nothing but skin and bones,’’ said relatives and friends. The “Bones” pail stuck and has been his nickname ever since. By the time he got to high school he was a heavyweight tac kle and some tried to tag “Fat Boy” on him. It was soon for gotten and he remained “Bones.” * Y A HOCKEY PLAYER DIES Center Bill Masterton (above) of the Minnesota North Stars hockey team died after suffering a head injury in a National Hockey league game.
