Roswell, N. M, Sept. 15.-The
N. NJ. M. I. has opened its TWEEN
ty-fourth session without a break
in it's faculty from the previous
year and with an enrolment which
is exceedingly gratifying to the
authorities, especially considering
the present financial condition of
the country.
The enrolment of cadets up to
date is 245 with yet others to en-
ter. Hagerman Barracks is full and
in order to admit additional ca
diets it will be necessary to place
three In some of the rooms, or else
according to custom, a few of
those who have entered may be
found disqualified and dropped.
One of the great features Of the
institute and possibly the main
fact that explains the success of
this state school, is that the faculty
is almost continuous. The board
of regents, headed by Mr.. E. A..
Cahoon, who has had long service
as a regent, are exceedingly care
full in selecting tho officers and
professors and when once a good
man is secured he is continued
from year to year, thereby becom-
ing familiar with the work, becom-
ing a real part of the school, and
thereby advancing its interests.
The faculty this year has been
greatly strengthened by the addi-
ton of two new army officers
The detail from the war depart
ment consists of three majors of
cavalry, and one lieutenant, who
will have charge Of machine gun
work. In addition to these four
officers there are on duty at the
institute three sergeants and a
detachment of enlisted men to care
for the cavalry horses,
In addition to the academic
work which comes first, and the
military drills which serve their
purpose of organizing the cadets
and in teaching discipline, the ath-
letic department is one of the big
features of the training. This de-
partment Is now headed by Cap
tain Wonsetler. an expert coach
and athletic organizer. In this
work he is assisted by Captain
Flickinger, who is an expert on
football. All cadets are required
to take part in some form Of ath-
letics.
This year the outlook for foot
ball is especially good. Already
there Is squad of more than fiji
ty men practicing on the gridiron
every afternoon. The cadets are
determined to win the southwest
ern championship for 1921.
Games have been arrange with
the University of Arizona, the A.
and M college of New Mexico,
Texas School of Mines, West Texas
Normal school, and Simmons COL
lege. The first game of the season
is to be played against Simmons
college on September "a.
The old players who have thus
far reported are: Hinkle, Corn,
Godfrey. Whitley, Bowyer, Jacob
son. Bhli Lackey, Bell, and East
ham. Ward and McKemy of last
years team have not yet reported
but are expected to be here in am
pie time to train with the squad
for the principal games of the sea-
son. Some extra good matefal Is
available from last years second
line and several excellent prospects
from among the new men, several
having come to the institute with
splendid records as high school
stars. The football SQUAD is a big,
husky bunch. and with the usual
N. M. M. 7. spirit successful sea-
son is practically assured.
