at Fort Worth, Oct. 19; and the Uni-
versity of Arkansas at College Sta-
tion, Oct. 26.
An entirely new varsity coaching
staff is one angle of the football sit-
uation at A. & M. College this year.
Another is found in the fact that con-
siderable new blood is expected to
enter into the making of the team.
Twelve lettermen from the 1928 team
are back and will form a nucleus.
Much strong material is available
from the freshman ranks of last year.
Altogether about fifty candidates are
working out daily on the squad.
Athletic reins at the Aggie School
are now in the hands of Madison (Mat
ty) Bell, who succedded former coach
Dana X. Bible on Sept. 1, when Bi-
ble took command of the Nebraska
Cornhuskers.
While new at A. & M. Bell is by no
means new in football circles in
Southwest. He came here following
six years as coach of the Horned
Frogs, Texas Christian University,
Fort Worth. During the time he
coached the “Horned Frogs,” the Tex-
at Aggies fotmd the Bell coached
grid teams difficult to deal with Dur-
ing the last four years, in which time
the Texas Aggies took two Southwest
ern championships, the Aggies failed
to administer a defeat to the Frogs.
The Aggies’ new- head coach is a
native of Texas and is one of the
youngest coaches in the State. He was
born Feb. 22, 1899, on a W'est Texas
ranch in Baylor county, near Savmore,
His first football experience was as
a boy in the Fort Worth schools
where he and “Bo” McMillan, now
coach of the Kansas Aggies, were
classmates and football teammates.
Bell and McMillan were also class-
mates cm the Praying Colonels of

corn yield 25 bushels per acre in two
years for Gus Schaffner who lives in
the Westhoff community in DeWitt
county. Two years ago he says he
made only 10 bushels of nubbins an
acre on this field but that this year
all the ears are big and that the yield
will be at least 35 bushels an acre.
Before the field was terraced the only
big ears grew down In the flat but
now they grow just as big on the hill

racing his farm this fall and winter.
Trigg Peebles, another local farmer
whose terracing is reported by the
county agent, declares that before his
land was terraced nine years ago he

have always loved Galveston, partic-
ularly in the summer time. I am very
fond of swimming and bathing, and
fishing, and here with the great ex-
panse of beach (thirty miles) one can
find all these pleasures in safety. The
waters of the gulf are at times muddy
particularly in the early summer when
the great rivers which empty into it
from the north, are swollen with the
spring rains. During the summer
months it is invariably calm, or there
is just enough white caps to make it
pleasant, and look more intensely blue
and Galveston lies there in the gulf
like a jewel glistening in the sun.
There were many delightful motor
trips up thru the country towns that
are gradually developing all around
this district, and one which was par-
ticularly enjoyed, was when we motor

Detroit, Mich., Sept 19.—Trains

were predicted here today by a group
of railway officials, engineers and
other experts, on inspecting two sec-

According to F. H. Alfred, vice pres

were built to provide trains with a

The struggle is for population. The
tendency is for population to seek the
open country where flower gardens
are something more than curiosities.
There is a well defined movement out
ward from congested cities; the mov-
ing citizenry may stop at the city
doors and become suburbanites, or
they may continue their march on
to the more distant villages and towns.
Love for the country is indicated
by the farm population of 30,000,000
people which is as great as the popu-

day night and returned to Kingsville
at 11 o’clock yesterday morning.
Dr. Cousins was attacked by the
animal, a mascot of the college foot-
ball squad, as he was walking alone
about the grounds of the college Sun-
day evening. The infuriated animal
bit his victim numerous times about
the hands as Dr. Cousins attempted
to fend off the attacks and slashed
the educator's leg several times with
its tusks. It was only by catching and
holding the beast that Dr. Cousins
was able to stop its ferocious attack.
One of the gashes on the leg exten-
ded to the bone and some of the veins
were severed. These were tied together
by attending physicians but a hem-
orrage resulted Sunday night through
the slight movement of Dr. Cousins
in bed. •
