M. men, To Professor James C. Nagle . . the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Ten _ affectionately dedicate this volume of the Long Horn. James C. Nagle a -H = N ancient and well known story of a Greek philosopher tells us how he always carried a lighted lantern as he walked about the streets of Athens. Being one day asked the reason for this practice, he replied that he was looking for a man. This search for men has been going on continually all through the ages. Now and then one is discovered, and at once the world delights to do him honor. In the little world that makes up the Agricul¬ tural and Mechanical College of Texas the same sharp lookout is kept for the person who possesses distinctive manly qualities—who is brave without being boastful; scholarly without being pedantic; loyal and big hearted without the sacrifice of dignity or of straightforward honesty; who loves truth and plain speaking even as he practices the gentle courtesies that go far to make life worth living. Such a man the students of this college believe they have found in Professor James C. Nagle. The days of the laurel wreath are passed, and in lieu of that chaplet of distinction we pay him the highest honor in our gift. This eighth Long Horn is a tribute to him from the Class of Nineteen and Ten. Professor Nagle’s brown hair, blue eyes and ruddy complexion are indications of his Celtic or, perhaps, Anglo-Saxon origin. He was born of Irish parentage at Richmond, Virginia, in 1865. Nine years later his family moved to Texas, settling at Manor. Here Professor Nagle had the good fortune for three years to be under the instruction of Dr. Thomas C. Bittle, long chaplain of this college, and his brother, Professor Beale Bittle, for some time in charge of the campus school. He entered the University of Texas in 1886, and took the degree of Bachelor of Science two and a half years later. In 1892 the University of Pennsylvania conferred the C. E. degree on him. During the following year he took a course of study in absentia from Cornell University, leading to the degree of M. C. E. At the completion of the work he was allowed the unusual privilege of having the examination papers sent to him. President Sul Ross conducted the examination, and the degree was forwarded to Professor Nagle before he had ever seen Cornell. He has received further academic honors in being 73120 elected to membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers and of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. Professor Nagle’s connection with the Agricultural and Mechanical College began in September, 1892, when he was elected Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering. Two years afterwards he was promoted to a full professorship and the head of his department, which position he has since continuously held. Aside from his teaching he has done considerable prac¬ tical work in his profession. During the summer of 1888, while still a student at the Un iversity, he served the Austin and Northwestern Railway as Assistant Engineer; from 1889 to 1890 he was Topographer of the Texas Geological Survey; in 1894 he acted as Chief Engineer of the Brazos- Brenham Railway, and in 1899 he was Assistant Chief Engineer of the Houston East and West Texas lines. From 1898-1902 he served the United States Department of Agriculture as an expert in irrigation investigations. College Station owes to his skill the system of graded roads and sidewalks, the septic tank and the sewer system. At present he is chief engineer for the district levee being built in Burleson County, a very important and ex¬ pensive venture that is expected to revolutionize farming in the twenty- seven miles of bottom land that will be protected from the ravages of the Brazos river. Finally, he has written a Manual of Railroad Engineering that is recognized by competent authorities all over the United States as one of the very best texts on the subject. These evidences of the success of Professor Nagle in the practical held of Engineering must be set down in fairness to him. At the same time there is in it an element of unfairness, for his close friends say that many other lucrative offers have been put aside because they would have interfered with his work as a teacher. Indeed had not Professor Nagle been so devoted to his work for this College his professorship would have long ago been vacated. It is, after all, his efficient teaching in the class¬ room and on the practice field that has most endeared him to hundreds of A. M. men. To the dull student he is patient and kind, to the bright student he is a stimulus that spurs a boy to his highest effort—to all he is helpful and inspiring. His teaching, while always conscientious and thor¬ ough, is relieved by occasional flashes of mother wit and by kindly humor¬ ous stories. Outside of the classroom Professor Nagle is the warm hearted friend of his students. Often he and Mrs. Nagle, to whom he was married in 1903, entertain them in their home. Nor does he neglect to keep up with his graduates. There are many practic’ng engineers in Texas and elsewhere who owe to him their situations. Indeed, it seems a matter of 4 1 -•! j j ! pride for them to let him know whenever they achieve any particular success. And now the reader possesses about all that can be set down in a sketch of this kind, and must have seen—if he doesn’t doubt the writer’s sincerity —just why this tribute is paid to Profes sor Nagle. He first prepared him¬ self for his work, which, as one very near to him says, “Is his very life;” and he has done, and is still doing, this work with singleness of purpose and with a humane disregard of our shortcomings. His saving sense of humor prevents him from taking himself or his work too seriously, and, at the same time—more fortunate than all—it prevents him from taking us too seriously. His absorption in exacting duties has not, thus far, made him any the less human. He is simply a sane, honest, plain man— a big bodied, big-brained, big-souled man—who has won, and will hold forever, our esteem and love. ‘ 1 : ' -V; . ' j ■ :| . ' . ' I 5 The Long Horn (Written by Judd Mortimer Lewis for The Long Horn.) Sometimes when the air, and the moon, and the sky. And all the conditions exactly right, When the masses of piled-up clouds drift high, On the western plain can be seen a light, A red light blinking across the dark, Like the danger sign of a railway lamp, And then, if the watcher will stand and hark He will hear the sounds of a cowman’s camp; He will hear the song by the cowboy sung When The West was young and her ways were strange, And the care-free laughter and chaffing tongue. And the oaths they swore on the old time range; And away in the shadows beyond the flare Of the ghostly camp, when the air is still. He will see the mass of the longhorns there, And their horns will clash as they weave and mill. And men who now sleep ’neath the Texas skies Come out of their graves in the ghostly light, And don their slickers and send their cries And old time signals across the night, And mount the ghosts of the ponies fleet They rode in the roundup of years agone, And ride with a pounding of ghostly feet The shadowy herd till the streaks of dawn; Then, with waving blanket and ghostly yell, Comes the redman urging his ghostly steed, And out of the mists in the wild pell-mell Comes the clashing horns of the wild stampede! And the cowmen start from the ruddy glow Of the prairie camp to the swift surprise, And the guns speak swift as the shadows flow And dissolve and scatter beneath one’s eyes. And the old time range is a dream once more, And the longhorns far on the shadow-trail, And the mighty men of the days of yore, Of mighty heart and far-flung hail, Ride back on the trail of the ghostly herd To the land of ghosts and of unfenced plain. And the standing corn by the morn is stirred, And the breeze is bending the ripened grain, And the school house stands on a grassy knoll, And the farm house stands in the poplar grove, And where the prairies were wont to roll, And cowmen followed the feeding drove, Are roads and fences and pens and roofs, And gone is the glory of the days of yore, And gone is the thunder of flying hoofs, And the longhorn feeds on the range no more. 6 Fore-Word If the perusal of these pages in years to come will serve to bridge the past and bring to mind, in priceless memories, the joys and pleasures of the four years just gone; if this humble result of our untiring efforts will in the evening of life, be the vesper bells for devotion to our alma mater of old; then will our fervent prayer be answered and our fond hopes realized. —The Editors.

It has now lived through seven years of success and it is to be hoped that this edition, the eighth, will follow well in the footsteps of its prosperous predecessors. The annual has taken its stride toward a high standard as an institution of Texas should, thus in keeping with the general advancement of the Lone Star State. In giving this publication a name it was the intention of the founders to erect a lasting monument to the memory of the animal that once roamed Texas’ plains, and hence they named the annual The Long Horn. In designing this edition it has been the desire of the staff to get out a pleasing and handsome volume. Yet the ornamental alone was not striven for. Texas has an institution in A. M. to be proud of, yet hardly knows it. It is then our further intention to set forth to the public, that chances to turn over these pages, the condition, purposes, customs, and advantages of the A. M. College of Texas. The Long Horn Staff Edwin P. Arneson Editor-in-Chief Victor H. Braunig Associate Editor-in-Chief Rufe E. Adams Associate Editor Henry L. Ingram Art Editor Joe H.

This attempt to establish a college periodical was a complete failure. Next year, however, the long cherished dream of the founders of the first enterprise was realized, and the session 1894-95 witnessed the successful founding of The Battalion. It more resembled a magazine than a college newspaper, since it was pub¬ lished under the combined direction of the Austin and Calliopean Societies. The prestige of these societies began to decline in 1903, and the success of The Battalion went from bad to worse until it was taken out of the hands of these organizations and placed under the control of The Students’ Association. The weekly form of publication began in 1905, under the control of an editor and business manager, elected by the corps. The “Bat” is of course the official organ of the corps of cadets. It records all local events and those of current interest. There is also the usual amount of space devoted to jokes, etc., illustrating the more congenial side of college life among the fellows. The editorial column is open to all and has for its purpose the setting forth of suggestions and ideas that work for the good of the school. The Battalion ranks high among school papers, and naturally has a large number of readers both in and out of college. The Battalion Staff F. J. Skeeler Editor-in-Chief A. L.

The M C c °H e ge was composed solely of the present Main Building and 1 J Gathright Hall. The former was used as a dormitory and recitation hall, the latter as a mess hall and dormitory. The c == : j = 9 little college struggled along under adverse conditions until in 1886, it was struck by a wave of prosperity and since then it has increased with rapid strides in size and importance. Now it has over eight hundred students enrolled. On the campus at present there are sixteen large buildings and barns, outhouses, hospital, and numerous residences. The most important change, however, is the recent attitude which the people of Texas have toward the institution. Only in the last few years have they com e to know it, not as reformatory for unruly boys, but as a place where they may send their sons, the future citizens of Texas, to get a practical education, by means of which they become technically trained men, to say nothing of the strength of character and self reliance acquired. The people of the State are just beginning to fully realize the great im¬ portance of a technical education, and that scientific farming is no longer a matter of experiment, but a potent factor in civilization. The military system is a highly desirable feature. Under its discipline a cadet learns regularity of habits, learns to handle other men, and above all learns to obey orders. After a man has taken a full course here he is trained and disciplined to take up the battle of life in earnest. With the proper support of Texas lawmakers and Texas public we bid fair, as an institution, to become the largest, most important and influ¬ ential seat of technical education in the South. Ships that pass in the W fht IS Department of Agriculture _I I- HE department of agriculture M C at college is not as many J believe a course where men are taught to plow, hoe, or £ ee( j The object of this course is to educate the youth of Texas in the arts of production on a scientific basis. Teaching him to study new methods, thus making him compe¬ tent to convert apparently barren tracts of land into fertile acres. The course of four years is very com¬ plete and is this sort of training that is gradually changing our rural popula¬ tion into a landed aristocracy. Mathe¬ matics, chemistry and mechanics, in combination with such knowledge di¬ rectly connected with the scientific farming, go to make the graduates of this course educated men in every sense of the word. The college farm consists of 2400 acres, which are used for experimental purposes in demonstrating by actual op¬ eration the most satisfactory manage¬ ment of a farm. The college also owns 120 fine blooded Jersey and Holstein milch-cows, all the best grade of hogs, work stock, tools and implements, silos, etc., with which practical illustrations are given the students. 35 CHARLES H.

It matters not which of the engineering professions one intends to follow, he can never reach perfection in his chosen line without a working knowledge of mechanics. Yet it is a complete course in itself, embrac¬ ing the design, construction and erection of machinery, power plants, equipment, etc., and to operate the same with the greatest economy of time and material. In the rapid strides of civilization mechanical inventions have played an important part. Students of the me¬ chanical course obtain the elementary principles which are necessary to enable them to develop ideas into realities. When the A. M. College was first established this course was one of the two from which the college derives its name. The work is carried on in both class room and shop, thus a student be¬ comes familiar with the peculiarities of mechanics and is thus better fitted to de¬ sign machinery. It is not the aim of the college to make skilled mechanics of its students. Mechanical engineers have a higher aim, still they must get clear and definite ideas of the behavior of mater¬ ials under various processes, which can be acquired only by personal contact and experience. 40 EMILE J.

The architectural course embraces such work as appeals to the inner man; the beauties of nature and man’s contribution to art, all receive close attention. The new engineering building has made it possible to provide the architectural department with all the latest equipment necessary to a com¬ plete mastery of the profession. Every year the senior members make trips over the State to study the various works of architecture, which Texas boasts. The course includes English, history, economics, languages, military science, mathematics, perspective, phy¬ sics, chemistry, geology, pen and ink, water color rendering, history of archi¬ tecture, architectural design, surveying, leveling, materials of construction, roof and bridge stresses, masonry construc¬ tion, sanitary engineering, electric light¬ ing and wiring, heating and ventilating, and building construction. 47 F.

The course re¬ quires hard, conscientious study and only those deeply interested should at¬ tempt it; but it is fascinating and opens a wide field from which the student may take his reward. Every chemical establishment re¬ quires the services of one or more analy- sists or chemical engineers to exercise chemical control over the plant, repeat¬ edly analyzing the raw materials and the intermediate and finished products. This is done, for example, in the cement, sugar, and iron industry, and in the re¬ fining of cotton seed oil. In the enforce¬ ment of laws concerning the purity of foods, feed-stuffs, fertilizers, drinking water and other substances, the student finds another unlimited field. What better than that Texas should use her own abundant raw material and her own young men in finishing them? 54 J. C. BLAKE, B. S., Ph. D. Professor of Chemistry. University of Colorado, B.

And those who fudged not shall be happy; They shall survey the starry fair With a compass whose needle is golden, And knows no deflection—checks square. No obstacles shall need offsetting, And foul weather there’ll be none, To mar the joy of the calling, In seeing our lines well run. We’ll set up o’er a star for a hub, sir; And the moon will serve as a flag, We’ll spiral the curve of the rainbow, We’ll work with a spirit—not lag. And only the Chief, sir, shall praise us, And none but the Chief shall blame, And content that the Chief shall see us, No one shall play for fame. E. P. A. ’10. 56 Academics TECHNICAL TRAINING demands something 1 else be¬ sides a rigid following up of the special branch of edu- ■ 5 - cation, which a college man may choose. Too much specialization has a tendency to narrow one’s horizon. Sad to say a deplorable state of affairs is growing in our colleges, due to the world’s demand for a man thoroughly educated in a particular branch of learn¬ ing. To teach the maximum amount about one profession in four years has become a necessity in schools. Thus the neglect of broad training has come about and men lacking in familiarity with things, that tend toward refinement and culture, are sent into the world. A. M. appreciates the conditions and includes in its curriculum a generous ac¬ quaintance with the elevating. A care¬ ful selection of the best in literature, art and history, is offered to, and taken advantage of, by the students, with the result that A. M. graduates become broadminded men. 57 CHARLES PURYEAR, M. A., B. S., C. E. Dean of Faculty, Professor of Mathematics. Richmond College, M. A., ’81 University of Virginia, B. S., C. E.

Like Diogenes they set out with a lantern and unlike Diogenes, they found their man in Colonel James Hayes Quarles, Etc. This man can concoct news like a yellow journalist and then spread it like an Indian runner. His vocabulary em¬ braces the dictionary from the preface to the benedic¬ tion. He would rather make a speech than sleep. His jokes are sometimes original and most of times vague and of the English variety. He will try anything once and if he likes it will surely do it again. The “Colonel” is a fellow among the fellows but a pitiable catastrophe among the girls. He came here in a high collar and a spike-tailed coat, he now wears overalls and shirt with collar attached, the other extreme. He is a cadet, a professor, and an alumnus by adoption, and a Benedict by selection, or rather he was. He is widely known and has had interviews with famous personages all the way from Taft to Cupid. He is a fixture now of the antique mahogany furniture—and is “fine business.” college—a piece of — Anon. 64 The Camp Cook Tells a Tale f OME queer kind o ' folks blow into a cow outfit” remarked “Cook- i ey” as he soused the last of the kettles into the now greasy f water.” Some comes and goes and taint no tellin ' how nor why. Sometime I wonder how it is some of ’em ever gets into t this life. Take Sandy now. Seemed some of you fellers water. knowed him. I was allers kinder curious ’bout him.” “It was when I was on the chuck wagon of the third division that he blew in. He was tall an’ good to look at, dressed in purty much ordinary style, an’ rode a pore looking critter. Still someway he seemed different from the rest an’ it was on’y luck that he got on. It was ’cause Bill was hurt an’ we was short handed. We could soon see as how he didn’t know much about the cow business, but he tried hard and worked like the devil. Soon he c’ud ride with the best of ’em and got sorter handy with the rope too. He was quiet and willin’ and know’d the boys didn’t like him much, an’ it hurt him too. At night he’d sit quiet with a far-away look in his eyes, or else gaze into the fire when the boys was tellin’ stories. He never told one, but sometimes a smile told us he was listening. Say, if you fellers leave stuff on your plates much more, you get less to eat, sabe?” “Well, as I was saying, he never told one, an’ the boys thought he was a little too good, an’ ’ud often talk about him, still they let him alone ’cause there was a look in his eyes, a real sweet pleasant look, yet somehow nobody ever wanted to stir up anything’.” “One night he was on guard. It was a nasty night, sleet afallin’ an’ wind from the north. The cattle was restless an’ we had double guards, while all the boys kept a horse up that night.” “We was sittin’ up close to the fire, rolled up tight in dripping slickers an’ mostly keepin’ quiet. Thought I heard some noise different from the wind an’ listened; shore there it was. Somebody a singin’. They was just singin’ a cow song I’d heard all my life on’y I’d never heard that way before. Maybe it was the cold night, I dunno, but it was the sweetest thing I ever heard. I wondered who it was. I knew as Bill was the best singer in the camp, he was sick, besides he couldn’t sing like that noway. So I kept wonderin,’ I cu’d see as how the others was listenin’ too. Well, we knowed it must be Sandy, so next night when we was restin’ after supper some’un 65 asked him to sing, an’ to our surprise he didn’t hesitate a bit, just asked us what we wanted.” “Some’un asked him for a trail song, an’ he sang one of the old ones. Say, boys, it was different from what the way I’d been a bearin’ it, every¬ body just kept still and some looked queer an’ said that the smoke seemed to hurt their eyes.” “Then he sang old songs that made my heart almost cry, then songs we had heard before. They was soft ones that made us all quiet and sad, then some would raise the boys till their eyes sparkled. It was gettin’ late an’ he was goin’ to quit, an’ some’un asked him if he cu’d sing a weddin’ march. First he says yes; then he stopped. I looked at his face, he had forgotten us; in his eyes was the saddest look that I ever see. Then he ’roused and began—but his voice caught. He started over. It was in some foreign language but he sang it with all his feelin’s, some parts soft an’ low like the soft murmur of water an’ then loud an’ strong. Oh, Boys, it was great!” “Next day, Bill here, went to the postoffice and there was a card for Sandy. It wasn’t written on at all, that is not ordinary writin’, only some lines with black dots an’ tails on ’em.” “Bill says it was music, maybe so, but when Sandy looked at it he gave one little cry and started to get his stuff together. Next day he took his critter an’ rode off for the station at Junction.” “Shore, some funny people do come on a cow outfit.” —D. T. S.—’12. T f ng r y Oourje.

Boyett 106 Insubordination on the April Hike ■v r HE regiment was in maneuvers. On one of the warmest battle ® ) days the Lieutenant Colonel took his position on an elevation wherefrom he could direct his troops. His soldier heart beat ★ ★★★ with joy although there was little cause for just pride. At the Commandants Headquarters had been committed a fate¬ ful strategetical error, and in military as well as in other phases of life the greater dieties always endeavor to make the lesser gods responsible for stupidities committed. The command was by the Commandant exposed to the enemy’s fire in an altogether inexcusable manner. Had it been in earnest not a single drill shirt in the regiment would have come out whole. The judges there¬ fore distributed to all sides little yellow flags with black crosses which meant that the respective troops were dead or severely wounded, or in any event ineffective. Nevertheless the Lt. Colonel with sparkling eyes follow¬ ed the military drama before him. Suddenly his brows lowered. He look¬ ed searchingly through his field glass, shook his head, and looked again. “Here, Smith,” addressing his Adjutant, “Look over there by that creek, right in the edge of the timber, isn’t that a squad of Company “C ’ —First Battalion?” “Yes, Colonel,” answered the Adjutant looking through his field glass. “But are not those men dead?” “Yes, Colonel, certainly.” “But what in the devil do those men mean by carrying on like that? Look how they hop and jump as though beset. Are they playing leap-frog, or what in the hell are they doing—who is in charge?” “I think it is Lieutenant Taber, sir.” “Yes, it is Lieutenant Taber, witty foolishness he can say pretty well, but for the rest he is good for nothing. He can’t even pass for dead. How often have I not charged that also herein the reality should be approached. The one who is dead must remain dead on the ground until the sanitary 107 corps picks him up, or at least until the maneuvers are over. Dispatch an orderly at once and say from me that the whole squad shall be punished if a single one moves from the spot. I don’t want to see any movements over there at all.” The orderly rode off with the Colonel’s orders, but the effect did not appear. The dead over there on the edge of the wood were very much alive, indeed they were pretty much rehearsing a football game. The Col¬ onel grew speechless in astonishment. He thrust his spurs into his old horse, which started with a jump, and away he stormed across the battle field. The nearer he comes the plainer he sees that they were conducting the liveliest of dances. “Lieutenant! Lieutenant Taber!” yelled the Colonel from afar, “Are you beset by the devil, or don’t you know how to conduct yourself when you are dead? I hereby declare you—” but the declaration stuck fast in his throat. Lieutenant Taber didn’t even in the presence of his superior ob¬ serve decorum. He rubbed, he scratched, he kicked with no intermission. “Beg pardon, Colonel; but it is impossible to remain dead here. We lie upon five ant hills, every one in open rebellion against us. Respectfully ask permission to die in some other place.” —Contributed. 3eptember Drill 108 Senior Class Ring 1910 Class Ring Made by G. Wm. Reisnek Manufacturing Jeweler Lancaster, Pa.

Eddie is popular with them all, girls, cadets, professors, and the world in general. He makes good, in the class-room, on the baseball diamond, or in fact any place that he chooses. Optimistic?—Yes. Perhaps that is why the Ft. Worth girls are so very fond of him and then his ceaseless and helpless attempts at witticisms may be attributed to the same reasons. Ed appears to be very indifferent as to the daily quotations on the matrimonial market, but very often with his friends he is heard to ask the real value of a wife, if not—why not? in Louis A.

Otto is a good athlete having won three “T’s”, two of which on the diamond. To strike out never nonplussed him, to get a hit delighted him and surprised him beyond words. He makes a hit in a season about as often as he makes a hit with girls, hence the poor lad, of his own fault, has a deplorable batting average in both sports. In point of conversation he is almost laconical. He prefers to sit and think—or “coke”—by the hour.

He has a plan to erect a reinforced concrete elevator in the Main Building, which we all need desperately. Kleuser was a member of our past summer school and figured conspiciously in its society. He comes from North Texas somewhere. The exact location will not be published in justice to Its neighbors. He has a peculiar sense of humor in deriving merriment from mistakes Its classmates make at the board, and in failing to see the joke when he happens to follow suit. He has always been an earnest student. Last autumn he was one of the few clear seniors. He was a bit chargined it is said, at not receiving command of a company or a staff job.

He has tried about every phase of college work but one, and that is writ¬ ing love-letters. He is an experienced man at college journalism, having been editor of the “Bat”. He is quite unique as an athlete. In his football togs his width equals his depth, so that anyway you spill him he’s “right side up with care”. He looks more like a rolling snowball than a quarterback. “The powers that be” made him captain of Co. “C”, thinking the men there would not take advantage of a little fellow. Even the short sword he carries requires a special attach¬ ment by which it can be slung over his shoulder. “Willie” is an M. E., otherwise known as a protege of Emile J. F. He can design cams and slide valves so intricate that Notty’s “four link mechanism” will stut¬ ter like its originator. In short Willie is “little but he’s loud”. Leo F. LeRoy, ....

One of these occurred last year when LeRoy was deluded by the tip that he was to be Captain of Co. “C.” Now by some fatal slip the Bull got his name mixed up with the Second Lieutenants. This is sad to relate when we recall how the Lt. spent long hours in the woods last year training his voice in giving commands. LeRoy is a hard working soul and deserves credit for his efforts at least, if not for the results they sometimes bring.

The one varies inversely as the other, for the less dry his throat is the more dry his wit is. He rides the off-horse on the 1st. platoon of the Cannoniers. Had his disposition not been so crooked he would have made a good ram-rod for gun No. 1. Compared with Dillard’s, a Virginia planter’s drawl sounds like a rapid-fire gun. James D. Dochridge, ....

Jim is a true son of North Texas—is an original “Panhandle Pete.” He is of an inquiring and researchful disposition. Among the successful efforts in various lines is his famous ex¬ periment in incubating kittens. How original to try kittens instead of chickens even when the affair didn’t just turn out to his liking. To carry out the figure Dochridge is just as much a “cat” at Bridge Design as he is at raising kittens. He has a peculiar way of wearing his cap down over his eyes which leads one to believe he’s either attempting to hide his face or see the reflection of it in the brim of his cap. Jim is very obliging at the table, for if there are no plates to “dump” the food in, he very kindly offers his own to relieve the situation and his appetite. Dike the Moslems who are continually looking with devotion toward Mecca, so Jim is always looking with devotion toward the Mess Hall. 129 Lawrence P. Looney, ....

For some reason the Bull had a grudge against Pete and put him in charge of the Field Battery, of wide fame. Pete has since had much fun in getting the seniors to roll-call, especially to reveille and chapel. Having been born on St. Patrick’s Day, accounts for the Irish handle to Pete’s name. Pete has vocal aspirations to soothe the savage breasts but found that the Bull was not of the same mind.

Some people say surroundings don’t count for much but Mac became a “H— Raiser” right when once in the wind jamming bunch. But now his big brother has quieted him down into serene tranquility, since the farm¬ er’s exodus from the Ross Hall Jungles. “Mac” has never done anything great while at A.

Many are the hearts he has broken, many are the smiles he has won. He has a terrible suffering now—the peritonitus of the heart. This malady causes him sleepless nights and dreamy moments by day. When he is winding motors with Bolton, he finds himself unconsciously tying love-knots in the primary wires, and drawing hearts and darts on the board where the armature belongs. No one knows how he came to be known as “Sis”. It may come by the fact that he is always in love with someone’s “sis”. R. Gibson Sherrard, ....

It would make you sea-sick to watch him, to say nothing of the “moving pictures” the girls must see when the music stops. He can dance on a half-dollar with the speed of a top. He also ought to be penalized for hurdling at times, in his waltzes. Sherrard carries a most enviable dignity and handles his battalion with the ability of a vet¬ eran.

It is said there is a little lass, who holds his heart in bondage. Sherrill is the most energetic boy at school, and that is saying much for a “bug-hunter”. He will work all day and half the night and then take two hours to write a letter. Next day he will do the same thing and write another letter—to the same person. He struts around at Guard Mount like a game rooster among a bunch of chicks. A most prominent feature of his makeup is his abnormal appetite. His neighbors at the table usually leave half starved. Dr. Ball and he are close pals. They are planning a state¬ wide campaign against the boll-weavil and the I. G. N., one for delaying the cotton crops, the other for delaying the United States mail.

He is the best humored disturb¬ ance concocter we can boast. But with all that he does get solemn enough at times—meal times. It is a great problem with him to finish eating by the time the regiment does. Shiels won as a consolation prize, it seems, the command of a provis¬ ional Company in the No-Tsu-Oh parade in Houston. Robert has good parts, we have not been able to fathom, for there are some of the prettiest girls in Texas up around Leonard that like him immensely. 137 . Orange, Texas. Frank J.

One can see this without even looking at the long “pedigree” above. He never lets an opportunity slip by to make a speech to the corps or anybody, and hence resembles Col. Quarles. He will make a first rate stump-speaker some day and might succeed as a Houston alderman. He has the common failing of many a cadet—a ravenous appetite—although it is developed to an abnor¬ mal degree in his instance. And with all his eating we can’t observe a change for the better avoirdupois. Ward’s feet have been a puzzle to all mathematicians as to whether they are two feet square or two square feet.

He can recite offhand the calibre, range and destructive power of every firearm from the time of Confucius to twenty years hence. Williams is so associated with such things that we have come to think of him as an engine of destruction, as a fire-eater, as one who has just swallowed a torch light procession. In fact his disposition fits his hobby, for one doesn’t have to stretch his imagination far to observe, that his mind is a high-power rifle, his thoughts are bursting bombshells, his good nature is bullet-proof, and his appetite is nickel-steel armor plate. 143 Tucker S.

SIEGEL, of the class of 1909 Born May 26, 1886 Died July 9, 1909 History of the Class of 1910 CHAPTER I. THE VOYAGE. THE month of September, of the year 1906, three hundred young men of Texas boarded the good ship “Possibility” and set sail for College Station. This voyage was a pleas¬ ant one with neither squalls nor gales. The future loomed up with wondrous brilliance and the invaders were seeking a new land where they might exercise what training they already had and gain others The Arrival: —When the ship landed on the shores of A. M. an anxious set of young men disembarked. Their ideals were loft 5 r and perhaps they felt a little elevated with their own small importance. This feeling, however, was quickly subdued after the first interview with the ruler in the land, the Command¬ ant. Here they found that they must become subjects to the local government, and must all conform to the customs and laws of A. M. Thus these three hundred men became a part of this institution. They also found that they already had a name, and further that each one’s name was the same. All were called “fish” by the inhabitants of the new found land. CHAPTER II. THE PERIOD OF THE DARK AGES. Early History: —The aboriginees were found to be a haughty aristocracy, who were very hard to approach. They all seemed to have a craving for entertainment of a nature of dancing, singing, etc. Not only had they a weakness for this form of amusement, but seemed to derive much greater pleasure out of these, by requiring all “Fish” to become proficient masters in the arts. Ruling Classes: —Those associated with the government were still harder to approach than the local inhabitants. These were such men as, Sergeant, Puryear, Smith, Lomax, and many others of similar characteristics, whose particular delight, it seemed, consist¬ ed in telling these youths how little they knew. The Uprising: —“Arbitration saves his hide.” From the preceeding chapter it is seen that the newcomers had been subjected to many humiliations. As was natural the hardships soon became irksome and hard to bear by men of spirit. That these men had spirit was shown by the fact, that war was declared against the sophomores, and future supremacy was to be decided in the famous trial by battle, here known as the “Cane- rush”. Both sides lined up their forces in battle array. The cane was placed in the center. The Battle was about to begin. At the eleventh hour the higher courts de¬ clared that the combat should not be. The neutral power interfered and the argument was settled by arbitration. Results of the Period: —Although this battle was never fought, still it demonstrated several truths: First, that these freshmen had much spirit and courage. 148 Secondly, that they were gradually being united into that strong brotherhood, char¬ acteristic of a later period. The social achievements of this period consisted in gazing through the Mess-Hall windows at the annual hops. CHAPTER III. PERIOD OF REBELLION—SOPHOMORE, ’07-’08. “The slave shall become the Master” The Transition:—Great changes had been wrought during the three months elapsing between the two periods. The submissive freshmen of the year past had suddenly grown into swaggering coxcombs who ruled the campus in their imaginations. They were “Fish” no longer and had cast off the odious name unto the next generation. The Revolution: —“Shall the principles of the multitude be sacrificed to the whims of a single man?” The same spirit that moved the forefathers of this class to rebel against tyranny and oppression, was aflame in every heart. During this period the class brotherhood became so welded together that nothing could break the spirit of TO. A great meeting was held and the decree given out, “The king must abdicate or his sub¬ jects will not work.” A stubborn king was he, who would not down. The men had sworn to strike and would not retract their vow. There was a general migration. “They left to return no more.” The Reformation: —“The sheep were brought back to the fold.” As in all great crises, heroes arise and adjust themselves to reform, so in this instance the A. M. Alumni effected a temporary adjustment of existing evils. All men were brought back, sacrificing conviction for public good. The Reconstruction: —Vacation having come, once more was there a lull in the land, and for three months the campus was deserted. During this period there was a final settlement of difficulties. The local Abdul Hamid abdicated. Peace and joy reigned supreme. CHAPTER IV. PERIOD OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT.—JUNIOR ’08-’09. The New Administration: —After the usual fun and frolic of the summer days, the veterans of two years returned to begin another era under the paternal government of the new reigning monarch. The frivolous and worldly sophomores underwent a distinct change. They were now developing into grave and stately scholars, realizing at last that their principle object was to attain an education. The Spirit of TO: —By this time the members of the class who had first landed upon A. M. soil in 1906 had sadly decreased in number. Of the three hundred freshmen a scant hundred were left. But what had been lost in numbers had amply been made up in spirit. The class had became merged into one grand brotherhood, all striving for a common goal. A memorable event of this period was “The Junior Banquet” of February, 1908. At this festival there was general rejoicing over the success of the class, and many prophe¬ sies of future fame. Here the fraternal ties were welded still more firmly and made permanent. 149 CHAPTER V. CURRENT EVENTS SENIOR ’09-’10. “The Past becomes the Present” The last year’s Juniors now became the present Senior Class. They had at last en¬ tered the final struggle for success, toward which their efforts had been directed. Already this last year has been made a memorable one. The Red and White have at last triumph¬ ed over the White and Yellow. Another date has been added to our history. 1st triumph:—On November 9th, 1909, the A. M. warriors defeated their longstand¬ ing rivals on the gridiron and brought home a scalp. 2nd triumph:—Under the leadership of the senior class the corps of cadets invaded the territory of the enemy and with the terrible battle-cry “23 to 0”, our gladiators again triumphed and bearded the lion in his den. Thus is established the superiority of A. M. during this period of our reign. CHAPTER VI. CONCLUSION. “All’s well that ends well” Now as the star of 1910 is in its zenith and success is nearly within our grasp, there comes a tender feeling for the College, in which we have become transformed from trembling freshmen into senior grads. When we think of all our struggles, of all the good times we have had, and of how soon we shall leave it all forever, a tear creeps into each one’s eye and we turn aside to brush the tear away, trying to bluff away the feeling that will not down. We own that we have become attached to this place, as few have reason to be and that in all our adversities and future fame, we will never forget that we are sons of old Texas A. M. V. H. B.

Junior Class History “As you like It” HEN the first principles of knowledge were instilled into our small minds, little we thought of the day when we would be “Fish” at A. M. But as we grew older and our minds increased in capacity, we began to look forward to the day when we should leave home for the first year at col¬ lege. We had not yet selected the college, but by the time of our graduation at the “prep” schools we were fully decided and agreed that A. M. should be our battle grounds. On September 23, 1907, we ar_ rived here as the largest class of “Fish” up to that date. Yes, we were ‘Fish” and were not ashamed of it, because every good deed has to have its beginning, and we surely agree that our entrance into A. M. was a great deed. We were a green set, but willing to learn; we took our turn at the flag-pole, we stayed on the third seat and watched the others eat “cush,” until our mouths watered; we took our first lessons in engineering by firing various engines, being careful never to let the fuel or water get too low. All in all we paid our initiation fee unflinchingly and marked it down as profit-not loss. Christmas holidays came and passed and the first of the year found us back in our old places, ready for the coming terms. This year brought trouble for everyone and we “Fish” shared it. We stuck by our upper classmen and acted in every way for the good of everyone concerned. In our summer’s vacation we had time for a little breathing spell and a review of the past year. We could now look upon life from another point of view, a broader and more serious standpoint. We were becoming men and must put away childish habits. As Sophomores, we returned very strong in number and not lacking any of the im¬ portance of the mighty Sophomores, nor the serious problem before us, nor the spirit of work. We were to be the teachers of the “Fish”and we went at it in a systematic way. This brought on the question of hazing. Here the Sophomores took a glorious step and one and all agreed to abolish hazing. This led the other classes on and thus hazing was dropped from the A. M. curriculum. One more year in our struggles finds us Junior. A good many members have fallen by the wayside, but still our class numbers more than any preceding Junior Class. We now have the privilege of a class banquet and wearing a pin. Being aware of the trouble all Junior Classes have in selecting a pin we again took the lead and eliminated this trouble for the coming classmen, by adopting a regular Junior pin. We are now rapidly approaching the long sought goal and it does not seem possible 152 that we have been here three years, nor does it seem possible that we shall so shortly go out in the battle of life. In view of this fact we determine to make the most of our Junior year and accordingly made brilliant records. In our stay here the class of 1911 has seen many wonders performed and has taken part in every phase of college life. We have seen the Battalion change into the Regi¬ ment; new buildings erected over the campus, (but hope to see more); the tents increased greatly in number, the Senior Class all officers, a two-day hike, hazing abolished, the delinquent list longest and shortest in the history of A. M., and many ether things too numerous to mention. In all these things we have rendered all the aid that a class is capable of. In athletics we have furnished valuable men for the football, baseball, and track teams. We have been well represented in the literary organizations and the Y. M. C. A. In fact we have been the long and short of the entire corps ever since our arrival at A. M. Now while we remain here and when we finally depart from these sacred walls we will endeavor to uphold this record and promote all causes for the benefit of A. M. first and then the class of 1911. “VET.” PRACTICE 153 Menu Oyster Cocktail Celery Spanish Olives Sweet Pickles Salted Jordan Almonds Green Sea Turtle Mikado Consomme Imperiale Broiled Rock Fish Maitre Saratoga Chips Fresh Lobsters Newburg On Petis Fours Fresh Stuffed Tomatoes French Green Peas Pineapple Fritters Romain Sauce Stuffed Turkey Chestnut Dressing Cranberry Jelly Lettuce Mayonaise Dressing Snowflake Crackers Vina Rolls Nut Ice Cream Assorted Cakes Fruit Cafe Noir Swiss Cheese Punch Cigars TOAST LIST K.

When others betray me and knock me and flay me And wish me all manner of ill, When others I loved far from me have roved, When misfortune lingers ’round still, When Remorse wants to fight and Conscience may smite, No confession hears priest or friar, For my troubles and trials, sacrifice and denials, I take to my comforting briar. The girl I’d adore, loved me she swore. In a woman’s own ficklesome way, But like all her kin, she was sallow and thin, Meant never a word she’d say. So my weary conclusion is quiet and seclusion, And those who want her can try her, She provokes my ire—Devil take her and fry her. I’ll stick to my dear little briar. —A ’10. 160 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS C. Hohn G. A. Altgelt P. S. Devine D. C. Imboden President , . Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Historian SOPHOMORE CLASS, ’09-10 Sophomore Class History “Much ado about Nothing” N the 21st of September, 1908, there assembled at A. M. the class of 1912. We were a green looking bunch, as green as the greenest, of all sorts of manners of youth from every part of the State. The boys of ’ll immediately took charge of our education, and we were developed, partly by persuasion into the present class, which is, as is expected of any historian to say, the greatest Sophomore Class ever seen at A. M. In numbers our class is larger than it was last year, and this fact alone makes it an exception to all Sophomore classes. Whether it is that more cadets decided to graduate in 1912 rather than go with that unlucky class of ’13, is not known, but it is known that this is the greatest bunch of “Sophs” that has ever before entered this College. That 1912 ranks high, as far as dignity and brain is concerned, is shown by the fact that we absolutely stamped hazing out of A. M. Sophomores have brought about a great change, and we are all proud that we have cast out that old and injurious custom that was so long in practice here. At first, we thought that we had made a mistake by our action toward hazing, for some of the “Fish” were getting wonderfully fresh; but now, however, as we look back over our past history we see where we have done only for the best. No, to be sure, we d’d not let the class of 1913 go without instructions. We could not let them grow un in the gloom of ignorance, and so other schemes of education, aside from that of the strap, were hit upon. Coaxing was the one most generally used- and many of our sturdy mih ' tarv despots, the coroorals, were often heard to say, “Please, Mr. Freshman, for the sake of aooearance, hold your gun this way.” Altogether, the Class of 1913 has had an easy road to travel. They are receiving discrimmat’ng instruction from us, and we feel honored to know that we have finallv made some change for improvement with such an exceptional class of “Boneheads.” With Dan Rugel, “Dutch” Hohn, “Tip” Taylor, and George Altgelt on the gridiron the class of 1912 has been more than represented in the way of football. Our men were also very numerous on the Company teams, many of them holding Captainship, and some of them being Managers. On the track. Merideth James, and Claude Washington are bringing honor upon themselves and the College. We are, indeed, proud of our position in athletics, and know that we have done more than our duty in these affairs. In baseball, too, our athletes predominate and, in truth, there is not an athletic feature at the College in which the leading stars are not 1912 men. 1 i ' ! ' Our history has not yet been completed. Already we have made our¬ selves known in more ways than one. We certainly are held in esteem by the dignified seniors and by the crowing Juniors, for at every joint 162 meeting of the classes our advice is usually sought. We are, indeed, proud of our noble president, “Dutch” Hohn, and of such esteemed consellors as, George Altgelt, “Lissy” Johnson, and “Greasy” Griesenbeck,—well, we will have to stop, for if we were to name all the distinguished persons in our class, the entire roll would have to be printed and that is elsewhere. We have done our share in making this the banner year of A. M., and we feel repaid for our labors. “To 1912, to you, dear Class, To your noble friendship, true, May our right hands lose their cunning, When we fail to think of you.” 163 Adams, Q. Allard, I. L.

IN MEMORIUM HENRY PERRY ELMENDORF Class 1913 Born September 17, 1891 Died February 8, 1910 Freshman Class History “Comedy of Errors.” HE Class of ’13, the three hundred twenty in number, began its college career on September 24, 1909. Not only is this the largest Freshman Class that up to this time has entered A. M., but also more “Fish” have entered the Sophomore Class than ever before. After sufficient time had elapsed for us to become acquainted we were called together by Col. Ward for the purpose of electing officers. As we had received careful instructions from the Sophomores that Dan Jackson shoul d be elected president we were determined, that gentleman was the proper party. However, just before the meeting was called to order the report began to be spread about that Dan Jackson had been a most successful candidate for presidency of the “Fish” for several years previous. We at once cast all our instructions to the winds and elected the following men to office: C. E. Ward, President; J. B. Murphy, Vice-President; T. L. Bell, Athletic Director, and W. W. Steel, Historian. Many of our number have ably represented us on the gridiron, while others have taken a prominent part in the Track-Meet held at Houston last November. Our Class has the distinction that few other Freshman Classes in the Southwest have ever had, that is, we furnished the man who was elected Captain of the All-Southwestern Football Team for 1909. The Fresham Class has also contributed largely to the Company football squad s. If we are to judge by the showing the “Fish” have made in the “scrub” games of baseball that have been played recently, several of them will win their “T” this spring. Those of us who have not won fame in athletics have helped A. M. win the name of producing the best and most loyal bunch of rooters in the State. Look at the “Fish” in Houston. When the rain was falling in torrents, every Freshman stuck to his post and cheered A. M. on to victory. At the close of the game hundreds of them struggled to be the first to lift the victorious players to their shoulders and carry them off the field. Then was when we showed our colors. Many of our uniforms were just out of the shop and Oh! how muddy and heavy those players were. Now, as we sit in the Library and read accounts of former freshmen classes as re¬ corded in the past Long Horns, we can not help but notice the favorable manner in which we compare with them. Of course none of them equal in numbers, and as we look at the boys that used to be “Fish”, we do not consider ourselves very deficient in quality. In a short time we shall bid farewell to that most unpleasant name, “Fish”, and re¬ turn to our homes to dream of next September when, if we have been sufficiently military, we shall come back to College with happy thoughts of those new uniforms that will have stripes on the sleeves. 170 ( Albrecht, H., Jr. .....

The true “college spirit” of a school is not measured by the feeling existing in the student body, attending the institution at any one time, but by the attitude of the alumni toward their alma mater. By such standard of measurement A. M. is fortunate to stand among the highest. The love, veneration, and care, for “Old Agricultural and Mechanical,” as shown by its ex-graduates, are a source of wonder and inspiration to the outside world, which cannot appreciate the ties of friendship and bonds of brotherhood formed among the youths who come to A. M. The first meeting of the Alumni Association was held in 1889, J. W. Carson being elected president. In 1896 the present constitution was adopted. Now the organization has over seven hundred members, every one of whom are loyal and interested in the welfare of Old A. M.” 182 “The Squad” Athletics ACH year, since any form of athletics has been introduced here has seen an an improvement in our athletic standard. We have larger and better squads to pick our teams from. In every branch of athletics our men have won honor and distinction. The competition for every position would naturally cause the men to work harder and the result is a better team. This was never more forceably shown than on our victorious foot¬ ball team of ’09. During the entire season we had the largest squad out ever seen on A. M’s. grid¬ iron. The keen competition for every position on the Varsity resulted in A. M. being Champions of the Southwest.” This is an honor that will live for a long time in minds and hearts of every loyal A. M. supporter. While our success has not always been so flattering we always came back to camp fully determined to wipe out the disgrace of defeat the following year. It is but fitting that such a spirit among athletes should be repeated among the cadets. Our reputation for supporting our team is wide spread, and the reputation is that we support our team whether winning or losing, and the stronger in the latter case. The cadets work on the theory that if they get dejected over defeat how much more right the team have to do so, and the best that they can do is to make a racket which they proceed to do. Baseball is the sport that claims the attention of an athlete during the greater part of each year. Practice begins early in February, and every man who can catch a ball is to be seen at work during all his spare time. Here again the keen competition devei- 183 opes a first class college team. While the team of ’09 can not show an unbroken list of victories it can show where it deserves the honor of representing A. I f. on the dia - mond. Track is in its infancy. Only in the past few years has A. M. tried to put out a track team. While our success as a team on the cinders is a negative quantity we have always had a few of the best men in the Southwest to represent us in their particular events. In every form of athletics that we have entered, A. M. has always endeavered to be a strict upholder of college athletics. At no time have we been accused of foul play on the athletic field, a record that any school may well be proud of. —- -- - -------- — The “T” Association HE “T” Association was organized November 14, 1907. It is an organiza- on composed of students and ex-students who have represented A. M. ■ 1 in intercollegiate athletic contests. Any one is eligible to membership M who was awarded the College emblem during his college career. The object of the “T” Association is to unite with a fraternal bond those who have brought honor to A. M. upon the athletic field, to bring them together from time to time, and to keep them working together for the good of A. M. athletics. The annual business meeting of the Association is held at the College during Com¬ mencement week, and is followed by a banquet, with its reminiscences of by-gone days on gridiron, track, and diamond. The officers of the Association are: A. C. Love, President. J. S. Dean, Vice-President. C. Symes, Secretary. 184 Members “T” Association Joe Utay, (Captain) . . . Halfback J.

Third Base Column Right! 186 Review o the Season s we look back over the brilliant record made by our football team we in- f deed have reason to feel proud of it. We had a good team, we won the A ■ championship, and we showed our appreciation of it by our loyal support, I a fact which has been commented on by the whole State of Texas. Along the middle of September Captain Hamilton appeared on the field with his warriors. Among them were many new men and it only took practice to get together the best team in the Southwest. The old men kept coming in till the arrival of Choc with his Fish Balenti, and then the team was complete. Austin College, in our first game was easily defeated to the tune of 17 to 0. They put up a plucky fight, but were outclassed. T. C. U. came next and this is the only game in which A. M. did not score or come out victorious. We were not defeated, the score standing to 0. By the next game our team had made a wonderful improvement. Upon the resigna¬ tion of Coach Merriam, Coach Moran was given full charge and now with Kelly at quarter the team was working as one man. This time we were up against the Haskell Indians. After a hard fought game the big end was given to A. M. by the score of 15 to 0. This game put confidence in every one, and we knew that we had Varsity going South. .In our next game A. M. was scored against for the first time during the season. 187 The battle took place against Baylor in Waco. After a “nip-and-tuck” fight the first half ended 6 to 6. In the second half A. M. took the lead by a field goal, and the game ended 9 to 6. November the 8th found A. M. in Houston up against her old rival Varsity. This game was pulled off in a downpour of rain and before the largest crowd ever gathered at West End Park. It was the easiest walkover A. M. had, resulting in a score of 23 to 0. Oklahoma, our next victim, put up one of the hardest games of the season. The first half resulted in a score of 5 to 5. But in the second half “school was out,” and A. M. pulled up a score of 14 to 5, this being the last time A. M. was scored on. The final game of the season was the game in Austin, Thanksgiving day. Here before the largest crowd ever seen in Austin was fought the hardest game of the season. The first half resulted in a to score. In five minutes after the second half started Choc went over the line for the first and only touchdown of the game; score 5 to 0. In these games A. M. scored 83 points, her opponents 11, winning every game except one, which was a tie. This is a record to be proud of and the whole corps feels it as such. We hold the record for the longest run, the number of field goals, and the number of men on the All-Southwestern team. 188 The Team Hamilton, the sturdy captain of the team, has been A. M’s. standby for four years and closes his brilliant career as an athlete, at the head of the undefeated Champions of the Southwest. He is probably the best punter and drop kicker in the South today and is a star in every other department of the game. His feat of running ninety yards for a touchdown through the entire University team at Houston, has never been equaled in the history of football in Texas. The loss of this great player will be a severe blow and it will be hard to replace him. Kelley, the invincible “Choc”, has for several years been the All-Southwestern quarterback and is regarded by many as the best quarter in the South. He is a great general, handling his team with precision and intelligence, is very skillful with the forward pass, runs back punts in great style, and is the best dodger in open held ever seen in the South. His work while with the Carlisle Indians in games against the big Eastern teams was up to date in every respect and created favorable comment throughout the East. Dur¬ ing the four years he has played, Choc has never once been taken out of the game on account of injuries or exhaustion. [■ Balenti, halfback is a player who can always be relied upon. He plays a star game and seldom pulls off a spectacular play but when given the ball will ad¬ vance it any living being can. His forty yard run around end at Austin enabled Kelly to go over for the only touchdown of the game. As a place kicker, Bal¬ enti is second to none and scores many points for his team. Great things are expected of him in baseball this spring. 189 Rugel, fullback and “Pride of Mesquite” is another member of the greatest backfield ever seen in Texas. Though not as fast on his feet as either Balenti or Hamilton, he manages to run the most beautiful inter¬ ference shown by a fullback in many a day. His work is steady and reliable rather than spectacular and very often the credit due him is not forthcoming for the reason that he sacrifices his individual playing for team work. Hooker, the giant tackle, is captain of the team for 1910 and well does he deserve the honor. Strong, ag¬ gressive, and full of “pep” at all times, Roger was a tower of strength in line and it was seldom that an op¬ ponent gained through his position. He was unequaled in the tackle-over-tackle play and was also good at re¬ ceiving forward passes. Barnes, the other big tackle, was unable to play until this year but made up for lost time with a ven¬ geance. His work was above par throughout the season and he well deserves his place on the All-Southwestern team. While Barnes’ work in the line was good, his ability to receive the forward pass, which proved so very successful for us during the season, made him even more valuable. i a 190 Ward probably attracted more attention than any other man on the team by his brilliant work at end. His tackling was fierce and sure and when it came to going down the field under punts his equal has never been seen in the Southwest. Time after time he recovered punts near the opponents goal and either carried the ball over himself or made it possible for one of his team mates to do so. Thompson, the hefty center, was on the job at all times. His passing the ball was straight and sure and on the offense he far outclassed any opponent as a center. While at center a player has very little chance to play a spectacular game, “Fatty” frequently brought the crowd to its feet by breaking through and tackling his man be¬ hind the line. Leggett, who plays quarterback and end, hails from Joplin, Mo. He is one of the most energetic men A. M. has had in many years, working hard in both practice and the games. At quarter he handled the men well, showing great generalship and intelligence, and playing a great individual game. His work at end is above par, both on the offense and the defense. 191 McDonald, quarterback and end, is one of the grit¬ tiest little players who ever donned football togs. Fast on his feet and fighting for every inch of ground, he is one of the standbys of the team. Time after time, when an opponent has gotten away with a clear field before him, Mack has come from behind and tackled him, even before he neared the goal. His unequaled pluck and loyalty have kept him in many contests, both on the cinders and gridiron, when a player with less sand would be down and out. Carlin, who has worked steadily since his freshman year, reached his greatest efficiency last season. He is a fast, aggressive end, plays a great defensive game and goes down under punts hke a veteran. During the past season he made a great showing when sent through the line, making good gains at almost every attempt. Cretcher, the reliable guard, makes very little noise but his actions speak louder than words. He can be de¬ pended upon at any and all times and few gains were made through guard when “Cretch” was on the job. His great¬ est work is in blocking punts and at this he is without a peer. His blocking of punts in the University game, sea¬ son before last, has never been equaled. 192 Hohn, “Dutch”, is also a guard but he can not be called a noiseless one for his flow of language has never been equaled in the history of the school. It is thought by some that Dutch bewilders his op¬ ponent with a bunch of scientific Bug- hunter, Shakespear¬ ean and Technical terms, then tramples upon him to his hearts content. At any rate Dutch is all to the good and plays his position in great style. He is W ' J ' the pride of the Sophomores and the Idol of the Fish—ask them. L i 11 a r d, better known as “Fatty”, plays a guard. “Fat¬ ty” is an old timer. This is his fourth year on the squad and his second on the team. When he first started to play football he was handi¬ capped by weight but by good, hard and steady training he developed into a good lineman. “Fat¬ ty” is always on hand when practice starts and has ever been ready when £ ' A T ■ needed. have Brown with us Brown, guard and end, is one of the strongest men on the team. During the first part of the sea¬ son he played end but was so heavy that he was shifted to guard. The way the big fellow back¬ ed up the line on de¬ fense was great. Seldom did an op¬ ponent get by him. He gave and receiv¬ ed his knocks and bruises with a smile. We certainly hope to the coming season. S h i p p i, halfback and end, entered school late but he was just in time to put the finishing touches so to speak on the best football teams in the South¬ west. Whenever he was called into a game Shippi always showed himself to be a strong heady player. In the Thanksgiving game his work was espec- ially good. 193 The Coaches Coach Moran came to us a veteran in the war of football and an able coach. Moran began active service in the football world in 1893 with Nashville Military Insti¬ tute where he served three years. The two years following, ’96 and ’97, found him en¬ listed with the U. of Tennessee. Since then he has coached college and University teams in Tennessee, Ohio, and Texas. Moran is the kind of man that puts the spirit of fight, and fight until you drop, into every one of his men. One of his favorite orders before each game was “Use your head boys and begin the fight with the first whistle.” “Remember that there is a man on the sidelines ready to take your place when necessary.” The result of his coaching speak much more eloquently than words of Moran’s success. Incidently he is a baseball man of no mean ability. We are proud in being able to have him to coach the baseball team this coming season, for the men have confidence in his ability to put out a winning team as he did in football. Moran was ably assisted by McNulty, a former companion in the War of Football. McNulty is very quiet in his coaching but could always be seen near the linemen, talking in low and confidential way to any player who needed instructions. It is largely due to him that our line showed up in such fine form. “FUTURE MATERIAL” The Houston Game |— OR seven years A. M. has been swallowing defeat at the hands of the University of Texas, but the past season broke all charms, when the red and white triumphed over Varsity to the tune of 23 to 0. The game was pulled off in Houston on Nov. 8, ’09, the first day of the carnival of that city, and long will this great day be remembered by the corps of cadets and all lovers of football. This day was college day. The two schools went down and par¬ ticipated in the morning parade. All morning there was talk and considering of comparative scores. Things looked pretty bad for A. M. The game was scheduled for three o’clock, but just about two the rain came down in torrents. It caught the cadets just outside the park, but dampened their spirits not a bit as was shown by their unceasing yells and their parade during the hardest part of the rain. Despite the rain, which by this time had rendered the field a mass of mud, the two teams lined up not knowing which was going down in defeat. The slippery field proved a disadvantage to A. M’s. speedy back field, while it added advantages to Varsity’s heavy line which out weighed A. M. eleven pounds to the man. Nevertheless as the game proceeded A. M. showed the advantages of speed over weight and the results of taking stock in comparative scores. In the first five minutes of play A. M. was kept on the defensive and their goal was in danger several times. Varsity kicked off to A. M. and on the second down A. M. punted. Varsity recovered the ball on A. M’s. twenty yard line. Varsity tried three times to gain their ten yards, but failed and the ball went over. A. M. formed for a kick, but due to the slippery condition of the ball Hamilton fumbled, quickly recovered and made seven yards around end. Now followed a series of kicks and the ball stopped on the A. M’s. twenty yard line ' . During this time on a fake play Kirkpatrick went around A. M’s. end for eighteen yards. On A. M’s. twenty yard line Varsity bucked the line twice for a total of two yards, the third down was a pretty forward pass which landed the ball on A. M’s. ten yard line. Varsity then lined up for a goal, but the ball was fumbled and A. M. re¬ covered it. Hamilton kicked out and the ball was recovered by A. M. An exchange of punts placed the ball on A. M’s. thirty yard line in their possession. Hamilton now went around end for a nice run of thirty yards, and was followed by “Choc” with a fifteen yard run. Here the tide changed and the game was A. M’s. from now on. With 195 ease the ball was carried down the field and on the last fifteen yards “Choc” went over for the first touchdown. Goal was kicked, score 6 to 0, time nine minutes. The next play was the feature of the game and it came so quickly that no one knew what had happened. Varsity kicked off and Hamilton catching the ball on the fifteen yard line ran the length of the field through the entire Varsity eleven and placed the ball between their goal posts. Goal was kicked, score, 12 to 0, time nine and one-half minutes. The next score came in the first half also. On a short kick Ward recovered the ball on Varsity’s thirty yard line and eluding three tackles the third touchdown. Goal was kicked, score, 18 to 0. Thus ended the first half. In the second half Varsity tightened up and A. M. secured only one touchdown. On a long kick, Balenti of A. M. recovered the ball on Varsity’s one yard line. Here with one yard to go, Hooker was sent through for the last touchdown. Goal was missed for the first time during the game, score 23 to 0. A. M’s. team work was the source of victory. At every stage of the game the eleven worked as one with the sole purpose of victory. To say that there were stars on the team is true, for who would not say that Hamilton’s run of ninety yards was not a b rilliant piece of work, or Ward’s tackling and recovering punts, or “Choc’s” head work at quarter and his dodging tacklers whom it seemed impossible to pass. Rugle also played a fine game, his long suit being running interference. A. M’s. line was exceptionally strong and held at every stage of the game. To Varsity, credit is due Feldhake, Spoonts, George, Brown and Leonard. Feldhakc played a good game both at defensive and offensive in the line; Spoonts and French played a consistent game and hit the line hard. Jones and Leonard played nice ball at end, Leonard being in the game only a short while. 196 The Austin Game - 1 1 - Before the largest crowd that has ever gathered together on Clark field of the University of Texas, A. M. showed her superiority in football by again defeating the University. The game was the hardest fought in the history of the two schools- Every inch of ground was contested for and the result of the game was in doubt from beginning to end. However a little forward pass to Choc pulled off in the second half tells the story of A. M’s. victory. The day was not an ideal one for a football game. To begin with the weather was too warm and worse still a high wind gave the advan¬ tages to the University who was fortunate enough to win first choice for goal. In this the newspapers were not fair to A. M., for they made the statement that Varsity out punted A. M. True, they did with the aid of a strong wind. For sixty-five minutes of the seventy minutes of play the University had the wind with her. When goal was changed at the begin¬ ning of the second half giving A. M. the advantage of the wind a toch- down was scored within five minutes- When any one beats Hamilton or Balenti punting you may put a question mark and begin to investigate. The first half ended with neither side scoring. Varsity opened the second half by kicking to A. M. who came down the field on the run. Ham. punted and A. M. recovered the ball. Balenti got a forty yard run around end placing the ball on Varsity’s ten yard line. Here Ham pulled off a beautiful forward pass to Choc who slipped out of the hands of two University tacklers and crossed the goal for the only score of the game. Every man on A. M’s. team played star ball. The ends broke up the interference and got their man with ease, the line was right there and several times held Varsity when it looked as if the Long Horns would score- 197 Hamilton however, made the feature run of the game. Near the close of the first half he was given the ball on A. M’s. twenty yard line, and pass¬ ing around left end stopped only when he had placed the ball behind Var¬ sity’s goal, making a run for ninety yards for what every one thought a touchdown. It was found that he had stepped outside and hence Ham was called back. It was a beautiful run through the entire Varsity eleven. Just after the first half ended Varsity rooters let go a balloon from ' their bleachers and thereby sent Varsity up in the air. This was put to proof when the second half opened. A. M. went down the field for a touchdown in five minutes. We must give Varsity rooters some credit for yelling for they really made a noise- but though A. M. was in the minority the Varsity noise was nothing in comparison with that of the corps of cadets and its loyal supporters from all over the State. Coaches, Captains and Managers EVERSBURG, O. L.

Assistant Football Coach 198 All-Southwestern Eleven -- aT S it is customary for the coach of the team winning the championship to pick f ■ an all-Southwestern team from all the players that have participated in the « I games played this seaon, the lot fell to Coach C. B. Moran of A. M., who --® has decided on the following men:“My first selection,” says the coach, “is Carrol Ward, left end for A. M., who is without doubt the best end in the South. He is a sure tackier and has starred in every game. “For left tackle I think Hooker of A. M. is the superior of the others. He is an ag¬ gressive player, coaching his teammates, and a consistent ground gainer. He is good on receiving the forward pass and breaking up interference. He has played in every hard game and never appeared to be in trouble. “For left guard I think mention is due Feldhake of University of Texas and Hohn of A. M. Hohn is by far the fastest guard in the Southwest and a great defensive man. Feldhake is a very gritty player, playing hard ball with a broken nose. “At center there is not a classy player in the South. Thompson of A. M. of Texas is the best man for blocking the punts and passing the ball in the Southwest. “At right guard, with Brown of A. M. and Steiler of University of Texas, are two good men. They are both agressive players and hold the line well. “At right tackle I pick Barnes of A. M. He is the fastest big man in the South¬ west. “For right end Leonard of University of Texas, Shippe and Carlin of A. M., are three good men. Shippe is the fastest of the three and plays a strong heady game. Leonard is very good on going down on punts and is an aggressive end. Carlin is very fast and deserves mention for the game he played in Houston and against the Haskell Indians. “In Hamilton of A. M., at right-half, Capshaw of Oklahome at full and Balenti of A. M. at left-half we have the fastest backfield in the South or Southwest. Hamilton and Balenti are not only fast but two of the best kickers in the South. Hamilton holds the record for the longest run of the season, running for a touchdown from the kickoff for ninety-five yards. Balenti is the greatest kicker in the South. Capshaw is the only man fast enough for this pair of halfbacks. Moore of University of Texas and Rugel of A. M., deserve mention. Rugel is one of the strongest on interference in the South. Robinson of Baylor also showed great form in. buckling the line. Spoonts of University of Texas, and Green of Haskell Indians deserve special mention. Rogers of Haskell Indians showed great form as a punter and in interference, he being very fast for a man of 190 pounds. “For quarter Choc Kelley of A. M. is my first selection. He is a consistent ground- gainer, good on returning punts, good generalship, in fact a star in every departmet of the game. Wiley of Baylor and Kirkpatrick of University of Texas deserve mention. Wiley being the fastest man in football togs in the Southwest. The lineup— Ward, A. M., left end; Hooker, A. M., left tackle; Feldhake, University of Texas, or Hohn, A. M., left guard; Thompson, A. M., center; Steiler, University of Texas, or Brown, A. M., right guard; Barnes, A. M., right tackle; Shippe, A. M., right end; Kelley, A. M., quarter; Hamilton, A. M., right half-back; Balenti, Capt., A. M., left half-back; Capshaw, Oklahome, full-back. 199 HOHN HAMILTON HOOKER. THOMPSON THE ALL-SOUTHWESTERN TEAM Athletic Council Faculty Members E. J.

He not only handled the team with excellent judgment, but also played great ball himself. He was aggressive at all times but never allowed his fighting spirit to get the better of his judg¬ ment. As a pitcher he depended upon his terrific speed and an unequaled drop-ball. On first, he was a fast fielder and unequalled when it came to handling wild pegs. At the bat he was uncertain, but when he connected the opposing players generally got a leg or hand amputated. Batting- average .285, home runs 2, three-baggers 3, two-baggers 12. Hamilton, the big catcher, played great ball throughout the entire season. He is probably the best hitter of any college player in the State and, being a 10 second man, when he gets on base the opposing catchers’ trouble begins. He clouted the ball for an average of .324 for the season and is credited with 4 home runs, 2 three-baggers, and three doubles. Of almost perfect build and absolutely fearless, he is one of the best catchers in the country on plays at the plate. Townsend was one of the best outfielders in the association. He could be relied upon to sack every¬ thing hit to his territory and woe be unto the rash one who tried to score from third on a fly hit to “Townie.” His great delight was to throw runners out at first, on hits, a feat he accomplished twice in one game. At the bat he was the best waiter on the team and made the pitcher be good all the time. English, our “polka dot” second baseman, was the most reliable man on the team, everything considered. While not a brilliant player, he could always be depended upon both at the bat and in the field. His steady, sure 204 playing in tight places was a feature, and more than once kept the infield from taking a balloon ascension. He batted .305, including 2 three-baggers and 5 doubles. McDanniels, our graceful left fielder, is credited with the greatest number of hits —with the grandstand. At Sherman, with all Kid-Key in attendance, Mack spread himself. He pulled fly balls out of the clouds, dug them up out of the ground, picked them off the fences and in fact took the crowd by storm. After the game all one could hear was: “Wasn’t that Mr. McDaniels just too cute for anything.” Really, Mack was a fast outfielder, a speedy man on the bases, and one of the best on the team to play the hit-and-run. His long suit was scoring from second on a bunt. Moore, pitcher, the long, tall, cool, cotton-headed boy, better known as “Scotty,” is great on head work, we mean in baseball, not “bug hunting,” and has pulled his team out of many a bad hole. He has a collection of shoots and slants that would put Christy Mathewson or Three-Finger Brown to shame. Scotty hasn’t dis¬ sipated since he promised HER to quit and can be de¬ pended upon to keep in good condition. Bittle, the “sawed-off” third sacker, was probably the headiest player A. M. ever had stationed at the difficult corner. He handled ground ball with the ease of a big leaguer and was best when it came to breaking up squeeze plays. At the bat, Pete was uncertain but generally uncorked a hit just when it was most needed. He came second in the batting order and was undoubt¬ edly the best sacrifice hitter in the league. 205 Arneson, pitcher, probably has more different curves in his repertory than any other college pitcher. Just when the opposing teams thought they had Eddie fathomed he would open up another brand of twists and shoots, and it was one, two, three. His cross-fire is great, and can’t be equaled for the third strike. Without doubt Eddie takes the laurels as the hitting pitcher. He doesn’t slug very hard but keeps sneaking in base hits until he has a pretty good average. Eversberg, the Lanky One, played both outfield and first base. He was at his best in the field, grab¬ bing every ball hit his way, while on first his extraor¬ dinary reach enabled him to pull down many a wide throw that a shorter player would not have reached. At the bat he was not exactly a .300 hitter but delivered the goods when a bunt was needed. Ladd was the most famous “hit-less wonder” on the team, but his fielding was above re¬ proach. He has a whip that any shortstop in the league might use to good advantage, and he gets the ball away from him with the same motion that fields it. Wickes, the diminutive out¬ fielder, was frequently mistaken for the mascot, but as soon as the game began, all such ideas vanished. He was as sure and fast as any of the outfielders, a good base runner and, on ac¬ count of his low stature, the hardest man to pitch to in col¬ lege baseball. Vi 206 • � • • Review of Track Season ’09 Until this season there has not been enough material on the squad to be worthy of the name of a college team. Some of the men who have ability are indifferent, either not realizing that the college needs them in this sport as well as in football or because other work interferes with track practice, have not been coming out. Several had failed on their studies and were ineligible for that reason, and others were busy playing baseball. The season opened with Hooker, Hamilton, McGhee, Buckhanann, Millender and McDonald. These men had had some practice the year before. With these as a nucleus, Coach Merriam, went to work. Under his excellent coaching, with these few and several new men, A. M. put out a fair¬ ly good team. The two weeks that the men were excused from drilling were spent in hard work. Hooker, the great shot putter was to be found in his ring every evening playing with the little sixteen-pound pebble. Manager Van Amberg, otherwise known as “Windy” was great on having the sprinters try a few starts with the gun, which he was very fond of handling, even if allowed to have nothing but blanks. Buckhanann and McDonald put in much time in running the hurdles in an endeavor to get that much coveted form. Early in the season a practice meet was held with Allen Academy of Bryan. With the little practice the men had had some very creditable work was done. Several of the Academy boys showed up fine. James in the pole vault deserved especial mention. A number of these men will represent A. M. the coming season and great things are expected of them. The first meet of the season was a dual meet with the University of Texas in Kyle field. University carried away the honors, though A. M. won seven first places to University’s six. At the last moment A. M. was knocked out of two first place men on account of faculty ruling. This loss while not the cause of our defeat was the cause of the one sidedness of the final score. Hamilton who had ex¬ pected to win his laurels in baseball had not been prac¬ ticing. However, he was persuaded that evening af¬ ter playing a seven inning game to don a track suit. He entered five events and 207 f took three first and one second. McDonald took two firsts tying the Southwestern record in the low hurdles. McGhee walked away with the quarter f f and Hooker handled the shot as easily as Doc. | L i does his 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s (pills guaranteed to cure V anything from a broken bone to a headache.) A number of the other men showed that they had the making of track men in them. Credit must be given several of the University men; among | whom are Estel, Bailey, Smith and Ayers. This meet showed A. M. had the material for a good Tk team. Two weeks before the Southwestern Intercol- legiate meet, which was held in Waco, the boys were excused from drill. The results of the meet are not encouraging but every man came back de¬ termined to win next year. As usual A. M. had a few good men but not enough. Hooker presented the college brand new record in the shot put. with a McGhee won the quarter in fine style, after running the greater part of the race in a pocket. Hamilton again came to the rescue placing in several events. McDonald did good work in the pole vault tying for first place at 10 ft. 3. At this height accidents put all the men out of the event. McDonald fell on one of the standards and sprained both ankles, the other men broke their pole. McDonald’s accident put a great handicap upon him for the hurdle race, as it was he placed third. Braunig, Carlin, and Laake did as well as could be expected of them under the circumstances. For the work done the past season four men were given their letters: Hooke r, Hamilton, McGhee, and McDonald. For the coming season A. M. has two vaulters who will probably make a new record in the Southwest. Hamilton is one of the few men who has the distinction of winning his letter in every intercollegiate sport in the Southwest. As an all round athlete, Hamilton’s equal is hard to find. He has for the past four years been one of A. M.’s greatest supports in track work. Louie was Captain of the ’09 team and worked hard in both baseball and track. It is hard matter to give Hamilton all the credit due him. In McGhee we have one of our most enthusiastic track men. Percy is the best man on the quarter that A. M. has ever had. He showed the kind of stulf he was made of in Waco when he won the Quarter after running the greater part of the race in a pocket. Due to his popularity and the deep interest he has taken in everything concerning track work, his team mates elected him Captain for 1910. With the proper support McGhee will turn out a winning bunch. 208 Hooker hails from San Antonio. In the spring of ’08 Roger decided he needed a little exercise, so he began to come out in the afternoon and juggle the shot. It was not long until he attracted the attention of the coach. From then on the big fellow has been one of our strongest track men. In the Southwestern meet held in Austin, Hooker took third in the shot put. On the ’09 meet held in Waco, he presented the college with a brand new record and one that will be hard to beat. Great things are expected of him in both track and football in 1910, which will probably be his last chance to represent A. M. on the cinders or gridiron. In McDonald, A. M. has another staunch supporter of athletics. Mac has been prominent in both football and track for the past three years. His career as an athlete has been rather a checkered one, for in every con¬ test of any importance he has run up against a bunch of hard luck. However, he claims enough satisfaction out of the dual meet with the University of Texas in spring of ’09 to offset at least a part of this hard luck. His specialty is the hurdle race. In this Mac has tied the Southwestern record. 209 1 he Senior W. A. McDonald, Football, track J . W. Butts, O. L. Eversberg, Baseball W. J. Carlin G. F. H. Bittle, Baseball Football C. W.

Champions ’09 Football At the close of the Football season of 1909, the laurels of the gridiron supremacy went to “C” Company. All the company teams were in good shape, and “C” Company well deserves the championship in return for the games that they had put up. Her line was like a stone wall and her opponents were seldom able to go through. Her ends were well guarded, as was demonstrated whenever anyone attempted to get around that way. “C” Company played the game in all its phases, but her greatest work was on the offensive. Every man was right on to his job and ready, whenever the ball was snapped. The interference and general team work of “C” Company’s team was in a class by itself. Every man on the team knew exactly what part of the play he was to do, and he did it. “C” Company Football Team Left End . R. G. Tabor, Mgr. Right End . . . R. C. Clark Right Tackle . G. E.

This plucky little team played an excellent game. They all played good individual ball but yet were not endowed with a desire to make sensational plays and reap honors for themselves. They played together. Each one played his part of the game. It is due to this fact that they were able to carry off the honors for the season. “A” Company Baseball Catcher . . T. E.

Of all the College organizations, there is none that does more for the advancement of the interests of both Faculty and Corps than the Young Men’s Christian Association. The object of the Y. M. C. A. aside from the development of Spirit, Mind and Body, is to help the boys along in struggles peculiar to College life. Each year committees are appointed to meet trains, take new students in charge, assist them in their registra¬ tion, and in a general way outline some of the duties they are expected to perform. The Y. M. C. A. conducts Bible Study classes in all the dormitories every Sunday morning, and in the evenings, they have services in Chapel, at which one or two of the members usually make addresses.

This year the Press Club was organized on much firmer prin¬ ciples than those of the former soci¬ ety. A lasting and binding constitu¬ tion has been provided with a view to giving permanency to the infant institution. A sumptu ous club room has been fitted up where the club members can gather to discuss busi¬ ness and social affairs pertaining to the college periodicals. A pleasant feature of the annual program is the frequent banquets and smokers which tend to bring the individuals closer together and in the end work to the best interest of the school press.

September 29.— Today one of the dairy mules took very sick. He had an uneasy disposition and didn’t like to be handled. He refused to move about, hesitated in his breathing and acted in general as if there was something heavy on his mind. After long deliberation I treated him for “The Hook Worm.” Afterwards I was gratified to know that my diagnosis had been correct, for the driver told me that he (that is the mule) had swallowed a pair of ice-hooks. Prof. Kidd. October 10. Everything has gone wrong. They won’t raise my salary, SHE loves me not, and Oklahoma has gone dry. I am despondent. I think I shall do something desperate. I shall go out and electrocute a calf. Later— The calf short-circuited me in the stomach. Prof. Leaved. October 30— I really believe the seniors of my Eco¬ nomics Class are developing a sense of humor. They laughed at three out of five of my jokes today. I was in my section room from 4:00 to 6:00 today and many cadets came to see me. Think I should be voted the most popular professor. v.% rr the: OLA -STY’hF Prof. Spence. Nov. 2— I like card games. I find I’m playing a great game of bridge with the senior C. E’s. who are most of the time “the dummy”. Caesar only was stronger than me when it comes to bridges, for I was reading where “Caesar threw a bridge over the Rhine”. Blessed be his bones and M2. 285 Prof Blake. Nov. 10- I just ask you to notice that I’ve about come to the con¬ clusion that I am a human thermometer that registers most¬ ly zeroes. Hope I get a set of test-tubes for a Christmas present. Last night I dreamed that the valence of Chlorine was eleven. Horrors! but that was a nightmare. Wonder what I’ll dream tonight? Prof. Fermier. Nov. 30— I find I missed my calling by about 2000 years, for by viewing my profile I see I would have made a great Roman general. I am educating my dog in M. E. He can wiggle epicycloids with his tail and work a slide rule with his paws. He has a cute little whine, which, I think I can with patience, develop into a sound like “Keenymatiks”. Emile- Dy Prof. Fountain. Dec. 20— I am planning to reorganize the English language. Am writing a book on “English as She is Writ”. It is difficult for me to decide which becomes me the more, my gotee or my cob- pipe. I try to walk erect—no erectly—to set an example for the Freshmen. Every time I have a thought it jars a hair loose from my head. Will have to stop thinking pretty soon. •fitw left Prof. Lomax. Dec. 21— Passed a sophomore in English today for bring¬ ing me a cowboy song. One of my songs had lan¬ guage in it too strong for my phonograph and broke it. Now I, myself, have to sing them to myself. I believe they sound better that way—at least more realistic, and like a cowboy. It is getting late so I guess I’ll give nine rahs for Harvard and go to bed. 286 Dr. Ball. December 24— Today I conceived the idea of crossing a “Forget-me- not” with a “Century Plant”. This combination put on the market ought to appeal to every lover. Think I shall very appropriately name it “Forget-me-not-a-hun- dred-years”. I would put a roof-garden on top of Pfeuffer Hall if it were not for the fact that Fd have to put a roof there first. Tonight there’s mistletoe everywhere and there’s generally Tulips under it. I think I am quite a clever Botanist to make a good joke like that. Prof. Giesicke. Jan. 2— “Der more I try to say ‘please,’ der more it sounds shust like ‘fleas.’ Today haf I devised a vay to keep de flies in der house out. I connecdt der vire in der screen mit der electric vire light, und all der flies enjoy elec¬ trocution. I find der best vay to keep der vind from blowing der shudder on der house off, is to take der shudder off der house. I think I’ll send dese two ideas to der Architects und Builders Magazine.” Dr. Lay, M. D. January 15— Sbisa and I today went in “cahoots.” He dopes the cadets to make them sick and I sell them medicine to cure. We later split the proceeds. Gave forty doses of salts to¬ day. It’s a shame for the boys to hav e to drill. I I ke to help them out with my 7’s, 8’s and 9’s, and incidently make a little “change”. On drill days I don’t let Sbisa in on it. There is something wrong with my watch. It beats up to 105 per minute. Am treating it for the “fever tick”. Prof. Puryear. January 30— Practiced drawing free-hand circles, and then cutting “dx” slices out of them, tonight. My voice is getting strong¬ er. The boys on the second tier of seats can now hear me. I developed a mathematical proof that maximum and mini mum were the same thing. I factor both words, and then I have—(maxi) (mum) and (minni) (mum), giving the common factor (mum). The first expression is a big bottle of Mumm’s Extra Dry and the second expression is a little bottle of the same rot, hence they are the same thing. Q. E. D. yh‘ f -fip, 287 Mr. Sbisa, College Steward. January 31— I gave the boys oyster soup today. By lark of vigilence on the part of the Chief Cook, my one oyster, that I always use to flavor the soup with, turned up missing. I immediately had my entire force searching all the boys’ plates. Everything was anxiety and flurry until I discovered the missing one. The faith¬ ful little fellow had crept back all unnoticed to his shell. He evidently didn’t like the climate of the soup. I fired the Cook for gross neglect of duty. on his t ounps. Prof. Alvord. February 17— Tonight I yearn for Panama. I think I could settle the controversy among the government engineers as to what kind of locks to put on the canal. To keep those South American Republics from stealing the whole affair, I’d put a pad-lock on it. Am practicing a vocal solo for the corps’ enjoyment in Chapel, Sunday. I think I have a very unassuming voice. Prof. Nagle. March 30— There is half-moon tonight. I find though, that it has too sharp a curve to it. It ought to have a longer radius, and think the curve should be spiraled. Notice in the paper where a tobacco trust has been formed. I hope the Durham Tobacco Co. doesn’t join the combine and put the price per sack too high. I believe, now, with what I’ve told my senior C. E’s any one of them could construct that Waco Reservoir. Prof. Campbell. May 3— I was disgusted today with my German Class. One of them asked me, if when I wanted to think in German, didn’t I have to translate it into English first. I am worried about my manner of walking. I overheard a cadet in the halls this morning say that I didn’t walk—I paced. I looked up “pace” in the dictionary and found it meant (1) “To walk”, (2) “To walk quickly by lifting the legs on the same side together, as a horse.” I don’t understand. Wonder which meaning that boy wished to convey. Prof. Smith. June 19— I am falling in love with analytics more every day. Think “Annie Laurie” should be changed to “For bonnie Annie Lytics I’d lay me doon and dee.” I wish I could get a bicycle with tires like a parabola instead of a circle. They would then last longer, since a parabola goes to infinity. 288 William of the House of McDonald And the Virginia Cheroot. ND it came to pass that William Al- bert of the house of McDonald grew very en¬ ergetic and decided to lavish his energies on the weed that is known as “Vir¬ ginia” and when Wil- k ' am had decided thusly, he called unto his room-mate of the House of Dickerson and spake, “I will hie my¬ self to the store of Boyett and purchase some of this weed known as Virginia Cheroots, so that I may start my life of waste and riotous living.” Likewise, William Albert, of the House of McDonald, did these things, and when the world was still and no one was nigh, William took forth the weed and applied the phosporous thereto and behold there appeared a blue, dreamy mist, and life was now full of joy and ecstacy to the whole House of McDonald because he could see Mrs. Wilh’am Albert of the same House in the blue smoke rings. But lo! at the sounding of Taps, the weed was near gone and yea verily, William had begun seemg things that were unreal and all living beings were dancing and doing the “Virginia Reel”. Then his room-mate of the House of Dickerson spake unto him and said. “Verily, I say unto you, William the whole House of McDonald is faint and thou art weak and thou needs must rest.” Having convinced him thuslv, William stole unto his couch, but yea, it was not the same couch that Wil¬ liam was used to, because this bed pitched, and rocked, and climbed the walls. And William was now sick and did feed the finny tr ; be most generous¬ ly. William of the House of McDonald was not seen out of his room the next day nor the next, and now he speaks to the A. M. tribes thusly, “I have no fa ' th m the proverb that Tt is better to smoke here than hereafter’ ”. R. E. A. The Inevitable A dreamy dance A Co-ed fair, A look askance, A wisp of hair, Made mind defunct, Had praises sung, Made a Freshman flunk And then get “stung.” The Evolution of the “Bug-Hunter” (With Apologies to Darwin.) Two hundred epochs past, the territory between the thirty-first and thirty-second parallels was a tropical region, which included what is now Texas. The denizens of these jungles were monkeys and fleas. The former were the dwellings of the latter. The fleas lived on the monkeys and the monkeys lived on the fleas. The fleas were extremists and there¬ fore inhabited the monkeys’ tails. When the climate colder, the tail grew colder, and hence the fleas migrated further up. The monkeys then had no further use for their appendages which therefore withered and disap¬ peared from dis-use. As the Simian tribe grew more expert in their flea¬ hunting proclivities their senses approached the human. Hence today the fleas have evolved into bugs and the monkeys into “Bug-hunters.” MISS JOE HOLICK, Sponsor Artillery Corps 290 o ' far fa fa ,3 P beffjgx arxd ' ojwsfa coz rs c? faJffatfe aTstzfazmrfafa -- faz ' =fa ' s£ £zzvfa crrfa cDfa r far’ - nrr zz? jr? r falf f rrr ffajprf fa zrs far fafarfayfa r5rrj? b br-r fa frv z’a ' fafa rrrr- (Sowsfay wafa fa Ct7 fa far- er fa cfa z? far t s - fafa rvrrz . TC.U. BAYLOR- | n DJAM5 OK LA. VARSlin mm The Spirit of A. M. When A. M. is winning, Or when everything is blue, Eight hundred hearts beat in unison, Eight hundred hearts beat true. When that great game at Houston, Was played in rain and slush, As Varsity rushed to our goal-line, ’Twould seem to cause a hush. Fumble was followed by fumble, The distance was growing small; A touchdown seemed to be certain, For Varsity had the ball. And then,— as if by magic— The tide was turned once more. And eleven young men in red and white Were fighting as never before. They had heard the cry of “Hold ’Em!” Swelling louder,—more and more— And they knew that they were fighting, For a loyal Cadet Corps. They felt with it behind them, That they could charge a wall; And “23” to “nothing,” Shows how they carried the ball. B. L. M. T2.

He hadn’t sat trembling very long Before the uproar started strong— “Shoot the Reg.” Who was poor “Reg” that should be shot? The Freshman wondered as cheeks flushed hot, And couldn’t tell why they all should rubber, When someone shouted, “Hey you lubber,” “Shoot the Reg.” He trembled and shivered and tried to find Some kind of dish that would bring “Reg” to mind, Then saw the syrup and passed it fast, And solved the local term at last— “Shoot the Reg.” V. H. B. lhtest i DISCOVERY, 294 Blue Eyes True Blue © LUE EYES, sombre and liquid, reddened by a spell of crying, looked serenely across the Indian Blanketed campus. Yes, it was June the eleventh, Commencement Sunday, and the band was playing sweetly for the visiting hundreds. Blue Eyes heard not the playing of the band, nor the chirping of the birds in the trees above, nor did she sensibly see the gayly bedecked crowds, who were upon pleasure bent, across the campus. Yes, tomorrow and one more day, and Dick will be gone forever. He said that he would return. Solemn vows had they made together. He would go away now, start life’s battle, then return and claim little Blue Eyes for his own. “Oh!” sighed little Blue Eyes, as if to say, “Is Dick sincere?” The scene changes—Dick, young, fine looking, ambitious, receives his first letter from little Blue Eyes. She really cares for him, it seems. True, he thought it a myth at first, but she says so on paper, what could be more fair? All day long Dick built castles, worked, dreamed, and strived to succeed. Letters came, at first daily and served as a guiding star. Vacation season over, and with September came letters less frequently and somehow they lost their charm. Six months—a year—but yet they came sometimes, speaking of fond affections, sometimes a mention of another, and then they ceased altogether. Twenty years pass. Dick Junior has just passed his eighteenth birth¬ day and he must go to college. Certainly father loves his alma mater and his boy shall love it also. The same bleak September rolled around for young Dick’s departure, when Dad bid him a fond goodbye. Dick Senior returned home lonesomely brooding over his son’s departure, for Young Dick was all that he had left in the world, for Brown Eyes had been taken away when Young Dick was a baby. One, two, three years passed. Dick Junior learned as did his father before him. One commencement after another passes and he also is bidden goodbye by a blue eyed girl, who again welcomed him back in September. “Twenty-four years ago, my boy, I trod this campus for the last time. See that cottage across the parade grounds nestled in that clump of trees ? Well, I loved a pair of blue eyes once; but they were lost to me forever.” “Hello, May! this is my father. No I haven’t told him yet. Dad, this is Miss May-.” “The same blue eyes, the same voice, the same dainty little manners. 295 Surely it cannot be true. Oh I guess it is only a myth,” were the thoughts which whizzed through Old Dick’s head. “Dad, May and I have a secret, but excuse us now and when we see you tonight we will tell you all about it.” The band played just as sweetly as ever. Indian Blankets and Blue Bells lifted up their tiny heads as if to say, “Do you not remember us years ago when upon us you played?” The birds sang just as sweetly and the people just as gay; but who lives in that cottage where Blue Eyes used to stay ? “So you have decided to marry Miss May -, but what has her father said?” “Her father died, like my mother, when May was a little girl, and her mother has never married again, stating always that she would wait until he would return. No one has ever been able to understand just who he was, but she says I remind her somewhat of some one she knew in years gone by, and gave us her blessings. Come let’s go over to see her. She lives in that little cottage across the campus.” The old man, dazed, followed his son. “My boy, it is twenty years today since I last entered that house, but my memory is ever fresh upon the occasion. The girl who lived there then also had blue eyes and I loved her.” With this the quaint little door opened and an elderly little lady stepped out. “Blue Eyes!” “Dick! and you have at last come back.” J.

And Chastise Hondurans. Great Exhibition Of Courage. When news reached the states that a corps of American Civil Engineers were imprisoned and were to be mur¬ dered by the Honduran Government, the A. M. Corps did not wait for the Government to act; but at once made for Galveston, boarded the steamship Sunset and set out for Omoa, the city in which the Americans were held prisoners. They thus hoped to argufy a little with the Honduran Govern¬ ment and as a result to procure a re¬ lease of the unfortunate captives. The people of Honduras were com¬ pletely surprised to see the steamship Sunset go into dock and the cadets pile out. They had hoped to have a little back-talk with the United States Gov¬ ernment ere the real trouble began; that however, was not our method of doing business. General Zelaya of the Honduran forces was not long in ingorance of our purpose and accordingly collected his army and together with the prisoners made a run for the cocoanut grove. The corps camped on a hill overlook¬ ing the city of Omoa and began active However, on the morning of the 19th the cadets were attacked. Among the pickets on duty at that hour was one private Mikeska, who, when he saw the natives advancing, made for head¬ quarters shouting for dear life, “My God! They are coming to murder us. What are we to do?” A little thing like a morning attack was not to daunt our fearless Lt. Col. Ward. He immediatedly ordered the Second Battalion into action and threw them into line of defense, holding First Battalion as a reserve. He then sent orderly Honker to awaken and round up the staff officers for consultation. The enemy suspended operations when they came within rifle range, a circum¬ stance which puzzled Ward, since that kind of an attack was not prescribed in the Field Manual. McDonald said they were going to make a “center rush,” while Pete Bittle was sure they were going to try a “squeeze play,” but Hooker insisted that they were going to stand off and “put the shot” to us. It was finally decided to bring up The Field Battery and allow that pitiable organization the honor of hav¬ ing a little practice. For one time in their history, the members got some “pep” and in about an hour succeeded in placing the war dogs on a little knoll. Then the fun began. In the excite¬ ment, the powder bags were shoved in front of the shell, and it was a lucky thing too, for they had one of the pieces trained on the Mess-tent. Finally the order of explosive and shell was reversed and the pieces accurate¬ ly aimed, when lo! who had the fuses? It developed that Private Beauregard had, the night before, gone into the fuse-box in order to procure one to clean his pipe, and had thereby mis¬ placed the whole bo:;. Another de¬ lay ensued until Beauregard could pro¬ duce the fuses. The first shot was fired! The effect was terrible! Natives were slain by the hundreds and the rest greatly terrified—but, the faithful cannoniers had forgotten to properly anchor the cannon, and several of our brave lads ANCHOR C lNNorf. behind the gun had to be carried to the hospital for repairs and for the swelling of the sick report. Football scrimmage was not in it compared to the way that cannon bucked. One of the wheels was knocked off and it took 319 2 THE BATTALION one hour and thirty-three minutes to take another from the caison and put it into place. d ' Van anp ' rosey ■stav-ed erniNo When the Second Battalion was ordered to advance, Lt. Ben Christian started to the rear for a drink of water and never stopped until he reached College Station, 14 days later, to put his name on the board. As he passed through Mexico he was taken for Tramp No. A-l, and the authorities tried to stop him and make him pay a laundry bill that A-No. 1 had jumped on his tour several years back. Back in Honduras the advance was repulsed by the enemy. Every foot we gained was hotly contested. The enemy tried a flank movement and the First Battalion, under the command of Capt. . Willie Legget, was ordered to break up this sortie movement. Legget had the Battalion tramp down a whole coffee plantation before he could get it into the right formation. The commands he gave would have astounded Napoleon. The contest thickened. Sis Rushmore now saw his Houston Club comrade “Teddy- bear” Christian start for the rear. Sis could not stand to see his cherished organization bring disgrace upon itself, so he set out to catch “Teddy” and naturally forgot to return. Once, when a bullet whizzed over Munson’s head, he actually managed to bend that stiff neck of his. The line began to waver. Seeing this danger, Quarter¬ master John William Butts rushed to the front and yelled, “Fellows, let’s give fifteen rahs for the whole dam team.” This saved the hour, as the boys began yelling and pushed for¬ ward. All went well until Ward suddenly remembering that he must not be seen in an unmilitary pose, tried to bring his feet “right-front-into-line”. He was unable to do so until he had called two of his staff to his aid. The corps mis¬ took this maneuvre of Ward’s legs. The cadets thought he -was wounded VN44RD TRIED To BRING H1$ FEB.T RIGjHT front INTO LINE.” and were preparing to carry him off the field. They knew that they were without a leader and gave up, praying the good Lord to be merciful. Was then all to the bad with them? No. By this time the artillery bunch had gotten the missing wheel on the cannon and loaded her up again. Boom! A shell was dropped right into the thickest of the enemy. It was a scene of confusion, both sides rnu- ning, some one way some another. Now the band under the true leader¬ ship of Captain Gist made for Omoa, before the saloons could be closed. “G” Company somehow stayed to¬ gether and ran clear through the enemy’s lines. It was only halted when Captain Hynds saw one of his Freshman carrying his gun improperly and stopped the rout in order to ram him. Then, seeing all was over, he proceeded to gather up the spoils—a few pounds of good tobacco—and make his way back to camp. Company “C” turned north when they left the scene of action and soon came upon a hen¬ roost. This was the only thing that would have stopped them. They were never known to pass one by. Soon they were at their pastime of roasting chickens. “A” Company played hide- and-seek with “B” Company before they discovered the mistake, which was only because Grote could not hide himself, but the discovery was made.

They took turns in pulling each other out of the mud, until they decided a soldier’s death was better than this, and started back to meet up w ith “C” near the battle grounds. As the attack was made on our right wing, “E” Company circled around the left and someway got in behind the enemy. When they found their plight, they held a short council of war and deemed it best to get as far behind as possible, and accordingly made for the hills.

In¬ vestigations found “Red”, Van Amburg, and Rosenfeld, bound hand and foot at the rear of the cave. A hallelujah scene followed. A quick return was made to camp, for Company “E” could not hold their good news any longer. It was a mournful looking camp that they reach¬ ed too. About fifty of our boys had been killed and preparations for their burial was in progress. One corpse seemed to attract more attention than the others, as it proved to be that of poor Old Joe John. No wounds could he found on his body and after a care¬ ful examination the surgeon declared that he had died of thirst. By supper all the stragglers had re¬ turned. A gang headed by Van Am¬ burg, for he seemed to be the wisest on the subject, set out to get “doings” for a celebration. That night we pull¬ ed off a regular “After-beating-Varsity- 23-to-0” celebration. Next day a settlement was made with the Hondwau Government and THE BATTALION the corps made preparations to leave Omoa the following day. We tried to get “Red”, “Van” and “Rosy” to return with us, but they said that they had something down there that had Blue Ribbon beat a mile and they just couldn’t leave it, besides, Van hinted something about a girl in the case.

The duck leg men of the college met in Number 15, Pfeuffer Hall, Shorty Williams’ room, for the purpose of forming a society. There was much enthusiasm and interest shown at the meeting. The meeting was called to order and after a little electioneering C. W. Leg- get was elected president. The other officers are as follows:—Chas. W Leg- get, Secretary and Treasurer; C. Willie Legget, Sergeant-At-Arms. The Club drew up the following by-laws:—That no one could become a member unless he was exceedingly ducklegged; That no one would be admitted that wore trousers more than twenty-six inches long; That no member would be allowed to complain about the side walks; That all members except honorary members and officers would be expected to give a dollar every Saturday night for the week-end cele¬ bration. The meeting then closed after it was decided to hold regular meetings every 3 twenty-three days. The members are as follows: C. W. Legget, and T. S. Williams. Sam Monroe was elected as an honorary member. CAMPUS CLUB MEETING. The last regular meeting of the Campus Club, was held Monday night in the little Campus school house. President Tom Halek, presiding. Secretary Bob Francis read the minutes of the previous meeting and then the Treasurer, Cornelius Ness read the financial report. A shortage of ten cents was found, but Jack Davis liberally made up the deficit. Ser- geant-At-Arms Giesecke, then urged that the club, in keeping with its spirit of progressiveness, and its rank as compared with the Ross Volunteers and other social organizations, should elect a sponsor. Mr. Jack Davis then nomi¬ nated Miss Dolly Reves for the post of honor, his nomination being speedily seconded by “Doc” Francis. Miss Reves was then unanimously elected sponser of the Campus Club, not a dis¬ senting vote being cast. After perfect¬ ing plans for a banquet to be held at President Holek’s home, and admonish¬ ing Bob Milner to pay his dues, the Society adjourned. The Hysterisis Helpers.

Plug Cut Chewers Union Recognize This Educator ' s Peculiar Adapt¬ ability for the Responsible Posi¬ tion of Chief Collector of Tags. For a number of years. Professor John Avery Lomax, assistant instruct¬ or in the scientific butchering of En¬ glish at A. M. College, has taken great interest in the collecting of and publishing the near-ballads of the western cowboys, freighters, shehp- herders and other desperadoes. Sev¬ eral months ago the announcement was made public in all the second class papers of Texas that Harvard University, hoping to check this atrocious perpetration on the English classical world had appropriated $1,- 000.00, avowably to enable Mr. Lomax to mix with the wild westerners and take stenographic copies of their songs but in reality to get him lost among the alkali lands of Arizona. This may be considered an honor for Mr. Lo¬ max—this attention from Harvard University, Deacon Fountain’s Alma Mater. But now comes another, a greater honor, for Professor John Avery Lo¬ max. Only a few days ago President Milner received a telegram apprising him of the purpose of the “Plug Cut Chewers Union” to appropriate $10,- 000.00 for the collection of “Plug Cut” tobacco tags. This message gave President Milner the authority to ap¬ point from his faculty, a member, who in his judgment, would do earnest work in this collecting. Mr. Milner could think of no better, or more persistent, collector of junk than Mr. Lomax, so the latter was appointed chief collector for the progressive union. Our reporter called at the country residence of Mr. Lomax and informed him of this new honor, and of the op¬ portunity he would have in handling the Union’s $10,000. When asked if he would accept, Mr. Lomax studied a mo¬ ment and said, “In all probability I shall accept this honor. Aside from the honor of working for this union with its mil¬ lions of members scattered all over the world, I shall be afforded more oppor¬ tunity for pecuniary gain than would be afforded by the acceptance of the recent offer of the school at Cam¬ bridge.” Mr. Lomax having found an automobile catalogue, requested the reporter to explain to him the differ¬ ence between a “Cadillac 30” and a six-cylinder gear-driven auto. Mr. Lomax today announces his ac¬ ceptance of the union’s offer and has ordered a $4,500 machine in which he will travel extensively this summer, attending to his onerous duties as official tag collector. Electrical Diagnosis of the Senior E, E’s. After laboring for nearly a year under a “Major,” the Seniors E. E.’s are not entirely to blame for their numerous “defects” and “diseases”. Baker took the “hysteresis” when runnng a test on a transformer while Bentley caught the “eddy-current.” Braunig, losing his resistance, suffer¬ ed for a short time from a sudden rush of “amperes.” Having a military inclination, Butts is trying to decide whether he will become a “charger or a “discharger.” Crouch on the other hand became “short-circuited early in life and was once caught put¬ ting rosin on the outside of a belt to keep it from slipping. Cunningham, who has always had a religious turn and decided to become a missionary sometime ago has not as yet determin¬ ed whether he will be a “rectifier” or a “converter.” Dickerson, effected with high frequency of “Carnivals” and “Fat people,” got his insulation punctured. While Ellis finding his “field” open, ran away with himself and was later found on top of the “Crane.” Hynds is a very noisy pro¬ position, resembling very much a three phase machine running on only two phases. Ingram has spent much time in trying to improve the “DeLayed constructions in “Panama.” After operating in parallel with Grupe, Mc¬ Donald found the current was not “harmonic” and the result disastrous, (Continu- d on Page 5) Prof. Victor Braunig Instructor in Elocution.

He is undoubtedly one of the most finished artists in Brazos county. Prof. Fermier states that he will be glad when the Senior tree grows large enough to be used for a wire pole. The expenses of the steam plant will thereby be reduced. Prof. Burns dismissed his class promptly at the close of the hour to¬ day. The class has not yet recovered. The students in Mathematics, have lately presented Prof. Puryear with a megaphone. The jaunty Prof’s voice has been failing lately, and it is the desire of the cadets to perpetuate it to posterity—hence the wisdom of the above move. Joe John reported for artillery practice Monday.

Newell has built himself up on the meter system but like some current users has set his “damping magnet” so he is slow for the sake of economy. Becoming effected in his “lights,” O’Conor has taken a strenuous treat¬ ment of “photometry.” An arc caused a break-down in Procter’s controller and his “air” became ineffectual, while Reading’s efficiency rating went down when he began to use his “motorless cars” for traveling purposes.

Invention Equalling that of Discoveries of Achimedes and Newton Brought to Light. PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAST. (Special to the “Batt.”) Feb. 29, 1910. Napoleon, in all his glory after Rivoli and Marengo, nor Peary after discover¬ ing the North Pole, could not compare with the glory and honor that is now being bestowed upon two of our most brilliant Seniors, R. Gipson Sherrard and T. Shackelford Wyche, upon their contribution to the modern scientific world. For years—aye, for centuries, the question of perfecting a perpetual motion machine has been revolving in the brains of noteworthy thinking men, and, at last, in an unpretentious hall at College Station, Texas, this has been solved to the satisfaction of all the civilized world. The machine is a combination of the applications of electrical and mechani¬ cal qualities, with the especial use of the four-link mechanism, B. T. U ’s ‘blue’ amperes, and ‘red’ ohms. It con¬ sists, primarily, of a wind-mill, a con¬ tinuous current generator and a bat¬ tery of storage cells. The cells are of the stationary type, and are rendered air-tight by the use of a fibre covering. The wind-mill shaft is geared to the shaft of the generator, which is cap¬ able of charging the storage cells to the proper amount. The principle involved, as in the case of all great inventions, is extreme¬ ly simple. The wind, which is simply vibrations of the layers of the ether surrounding the earth, acts upon the vanes of the mill. This produces rotation of the shaft; and, by means of the fonr-link gearing, the generator is built up. The current from the generator is sent through the battery, which is charged. A reaction is set up in the cell, which according to the notes of the inventors, is as follows: E9 -f H2 S04 - (Ea - Rala) -f 03. In which the E9 goes into the solu¬ tion and the 03 is precipitated out. Owing to the frequent charging and discharging of the cell heat is generat- THE BATTALION ed and forms steam. To allow for this and to prevent the waste by evaporation, the fibre cover was pro¬ vided for the cells. Now when the wind falls, we have a reaction of the elements in the storage cells (for, says the physicist, “to every action there is a contrary and equal reaction.” Therefore, the cell discharges through the dynamo, which has now become a motor. This, in turn, moves the vanes of the mill, setting up a vibration of the ether surrounding them. The con¬ tinued vibration produces resonance, as it were, and a current of air is set to flowing. This current is called the wind. To this wind, according to the aforesaid law of physics, there is a contrary wind that sets up the dynamo as a generator again and the operation is repeated, etc. The inventors, although young in years, are showing that they are old in the laws of the world and natural sciences. They are representative young men of the State of Texas, and From far and near, telegrams have been received, congratulaing them on their solution of so great a problem. One was from Jackson Henry Crouch, the inventor of the famous “braino- meter,” in which he said that this was an equal to his machine in all respects. The machine will not be put on the market at present, pending the raising of the stock and the securing of ade¬ quate patents covering i OUR NOTED PROFS-.

The questions that interest dairymen are: Who has the Best Cream Separator in 1910? And Who Will Continue to have the Best Sep¬ arator in 1911? The United States Separator beat all of its com¬ petitors and won the GRAND PRIZE at the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition, June to October, 1909. The United States Separator beat all competitors at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, in fifty (50) consecutive runs, with ten different breeds of cows and won the WORLD’S RECORD and continues to hold the WORLD’S RECORD in 1910.

PARKER The Girl of My Heart is Somewhere The girl of my heart is somewhere, The one that was meant for me, And out of this wide world she’ll rise, Like a mermaid from the sea And my school days will leave me, And my happiness will be complete, The girl of my heart is somewhere, And some of these days we’ll meet. There was never a boy so lonesome, But he found a kindred heart, God never created a human form, But He made a counterpart: And the hands of Cupid are guiding The schoolboys wandering feet; The girl of my heart is somewhere, And some of these day’s we’ll meet. Maybe she lives on the campus, Or maybe she lives in town, Maybe her eyes are heaven’s blue, Or maybe her eyes are brown; But to me she will be perfection, The sweetest of all the sweet; The girl of my heart is somewhere, And some of these days we’ll meet. The girl of my heart is somewhere, But the prize must be won, For we must fall out and make up again, As the rest of the world has done. And forever and still forever, The story shall time repeat, The girl of my heart is somewhere, And some of these days we’ll meet. —A Private, Co.

HILL, President, Waco, Texas, Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, Tenn. My French Briar Pipe When I am lonesome and weary, And sit by the fireside at eve, There is always a friend that is with me, Who is never absent without leave. All day he lays on the mantel And patiently awaits my return; He is short, stubby and ugly, And likes to be handled and burned. W hen all the world seems to forget me, And everything seems to go wrong, My friend of the fireside comes to me And stays with me ever so long. When the blue eyed maiden tells me That I am out of the fight, The friend of the fireside consoles me— My old French briar pipe. Soph. Poetry. Engineering Building A. M. College J. S.
