••—^—Disposition of the question
of continued athletic relations be-
tween Texas Agricultural and Me-
chanical College and Bhylor |Jni-
'ershe is “In the hands of the au-
thorities of the college” a statement
from a committee of students of A.

nouncement also indicated that “sev-
erance or continuance of athletic re-

ten members of the senior nasa a*
representatives of the student body
end wa« made in connection with
the student#’ fight at the Baylor
'football game at Waco on October
30 in which cadet Lieutenant C’harle*
Sessums of Dallas was injured
faulty.
The sUtement reviews the feeling
of regret at A. A M over the death
of Sessums. and speaks of tnA tra-
ditions of the school for love of jus-
tice fair dealing honesty and an
•cute love for clean sportsmanship.
Reviewing the jeihtions with Baylor
it says:
The "Bucking Ford.*
“Two years ago the Baylor cheer-
ing section sponsored the tour of a
•bucking Ford1 with the rear hub set
eccentrically with a saddled oil
drum perched on the back end and
which in design was supposed to
represent the Texas Aggies who
were being ridden by the Baylor
Cowboy who sat in the saddle. This
play was received in fun by the
cadets until the Ford due either to
poor driving or malicious indent on
the part of the driver cam# very
near injuring members of the Agg’e
football taam as it ran through their
midst while they sat or reclined
along the sidelines. Thi# infuriated
the cadets beyond the compreMan-
aion of any persons who does not
know how dearly the A. A M. man
”•* his football team. The memory
of this is odious to A. A .M- men
The idea has become traditional and
the schools know this to be a fact
•nd have respected our feeling to
the extent that it has never hap-
pened again until last Saturday (Oc-
tober 80). Even Saturdav. as on pre-
vious occasions we suffered to see
one our military drills and our uni-
forni that of a reserve officer made
didiculous by Baylor's cheer lead-
ers without offering -ehnV'
Thought Girls Were Boy*.
"Then came the Ford loaded wlib
girls and a man driver all dressed
in costume. The cadets as well as
campus residents and other spec-
tatrns all thought that the pas-
senger* were boys for no one
dreamed that men students would
permit their co-eds to attempt such
* “*n**r°u® undertaking."
yv J.Ute?!eVt tben teat an
leader previously had
•sked !f Baylor intended to use the
iTAe use of the one rent onto the
"bucking Ford" and wa« told "no.'
field "was just as obnoxious in the
eyes of the cadets." the stntcmenl
said- Several cadets intent on switch
ing off the ignition jumped onto th<
car und one girl fell off. The A. A
M. version says apologies are of
fered the Baylor girls "because one
of our traditions is that no A. & M
man has ever willingly or knovringl}
harmed a woman."
The statement denies that the
Cadets knowingly made an attack or
girls. It charges that Baylor stu-
dents were equipped before the game
with clubs and sticks. Some :ttK» o.
400 of the cadets remained in theii
seats during the melee at the re-
quest of their officers. When th«
hand started "The Star Spangled
Banner" the statement says "im-
mediately reflecting their loyalty tc
country and military discipline the
cadets snapped to rigid attention
and saluted-"

the tilt. The locals drew first blood
by scoring in the second quarter on
a line plunge after a long pass had
brought the ball into scoring po-
sition.
The Soldier^ made ull of their
touchdowns in the second hulf pil-
ing up the highest score made in
the Valley independent football thus
far. Mayo end. made the first Sol-
dier touchdown on a past. Johnson

NEW YORK Nov. the
face of the lat%st government cotton
crop estimate increasing the indicat-
ed production to the unprecedented
total of nearly 18000.000 bales cot-
ton pri?es held remarakbly steady
in the New York market today.
Before publication of the figures
the stable was selling about a dol-
lar a bale higher than at the end of
last week. Southern selling which
followed the report cancelled a part
of these gains but it was fairly well
absorbed by large buying orders from
th? trade which hail been placed in
anticipation of another sharp break.
At noon prices ranged from 12.27 for
December to 12.62 for March repre-
senting net gains of 5 to 8 points.

JUNIOR C. C.
IS PROPOSED
Matter to be Taken Up
At Meeting to be
• Held Tuesday
Organization of a Junior Chamber
of Commerce in Brownsville will be
discussed at a meeting of the direct-
ors of the Brownsville < hainber of
Commerce Tuesday night.
(!. C\ Richardson manager of the
Chamber of Commerce said that it
is believed that a junior organiza-
tion can be completed here with *n
personnel recruited from the hirh
schools and junior college- It woc/l
be a junior booster organization and
would form an auxiliary to the larg-
er organization of business men.
A definite program of activities
would be worked up by the Junior
chamber and in all probability would
relieve the larger organization of
some of its work although their
acopes will vary.
The organization as proposed
would be different from junior cham-
bers in other cities in that he mem-
bership will actually be recruited
from amorfjr the younger generation.
In most cities namely San Antonio
the junior chamber of .commerce
membership is* drawn from among
business men.
The directors also will consider
further the matter of a survey of
probable available tonnage for the
port at Point Isabel. This survey is
not yet complete it if stated.
The matter of surveying the pre-
cinct roads with a vfhw to ascertain-
ing needs will be brought up by the
j road committee.
| evening by F. K. Morris for inter-
' r’»Bt Mr. Kirk is unable to make
; the trip because of doctor’s orders
| to remain here.
Mrs. Elmore had resided hereabout
a year. She was a widow and had
traveled considerably the I:»>st. few
years. Mr. Kirk is her only near
relative in the United States. Some

INDIAN? BREAK
WORLD RECORD
Ccver Running Course
Of 62 Miles In
9 1-2 Hours
MEXICO CITY. Nov. H. ^—Stop-
ping only a few seconds to suck an
orange or.to sip a native drink two
infiiiin runners have set what is lie- 1
lieved to b; a woild’s record for run- I
ning.
Tomas Zafiro and Leoncicio San j
Miguel yisteidiy covered a course)
of 62 1-2 miles between I'uducua and
Mexico City in nine hours and thirty-
seven minutes. They finished fr:*sh
and fit. Observers at the tape said
they were not even panting and that
they would have been able to have
gon? on for a longer distance if it
had been necessary.
The Indians belong to the Turahu-
mare tribe. The run was to have
been palt of th« rerent Central I
American athletic me’t. The purpose i
of the run was to demonstrate the
prowess of the Tarahumare who ac-
cording to tradition give to the
world men supreme in foot racing.
When the runners reached th* sta-
dium Governor Serrano nlaced upon
the brow of each man a bright crim-
son bandana of silk. Throughout the
journey the two men hud carried with
them cotton bandanas of rrd.
During the run the Indians fre- j
quently at altitudes of from a mile I
and a half to two miles where many
persons would find breathing diffi- j
' cult. Occasionally Htd loss nrnbu- j
lance men massaged the arms and
legs of the runneis. They dwl not
request this however and observers
ass rted that thev did not appear to
re on ire this attention.
The best previous record for 62
milts is ciedited to J Saunders in j
New York in ISM! Sounder- during
a rUn of 120 miles. 275 vards went
the first 62 mile- in ten hours ten 1
minutes fifty seconds and rixty-
three miles in ter hours twenty min-
utes fifty seconds.
This is almost n full'hour slower
.than the time of Zafiro and San Mi- j
j gu« 1. Saunders completed the 120
i miles and a fraction in 22 hours. 49
j minutes.
