The faculty, campus residents, and the entire student body were astounded beyond utterance Sunday morning: when President Bizzell announced throug;h The Bulletin that com- pusory Sunday Chapel attendance was forever abolished in A. and M. The news spread over the campus like wildfire, and in an amazingly short time, the entire college community was in a furor. The announcement came like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky.

IN SECOND GAME FALK INVINCIBLE IN PINCHES—AGGIES
LOSE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON.
Well the series is over and each team has a victory. In the 1st game it was too much Higginbotham. Friday it was too much Falk. “Higgie” pitched phenomenal ball against the team that had a- team batting average of .341. Greer was the only batter to hit safely. His hit did not count for Persohn scooped in the old ball and flipped it to Rothe before Greer reached 1st. After that, Texas batters never had a chance to touch “Hig”. It was a great game. Each Aggie player was on his toes and fielded everything every time.
The second game Falk south-pawed the Aggies to the tune of 5-3. .It was not Falk’s effectiveness that won the old ball game. Far from it. It was his wildness. He walked 9 and hit Gle^en twice. With this wildness Falk had the necessary stuff to get the ball over in pinches. It seemed that he was invincible in a pinch. The Aggies fought an uphill struggle.
