SPENCE ♦ . ' TN editing this Annual, our effort has been to produce l a work winch shall accurately reflect the various manifestations of local student life; which shall recall in after years the joys and satisfactions, the vexations and disappointments, of our undergraduate days here. Al¬ though it is intended to be of interest primarily to A. and M. students, yet it is hoped that our interested friends may catch here and there through its pages a glimpse of the inner life of our College. At all events, here is the 1911 Long Horn. Indulgent reader, if the perusal of the book seem to you an arduous task, be assured that the writing of it has seemed so to us; if the end appear to you a dreary distance off, doubt not that it has appeared so to us a score of times. But if the result afford you interest or amusement mingled with your boredom—as our life here together has afforded us excite¬ ment and variety mingled with the dull routine—then we shall feel ourselves abundantly rewarded.

College of Texas. The Agricultural and Mechanical Col¬ lege of Texas, like the land grant institu¬ tions in the other States of the Union, owes its origin to an act of Congress ap¬ proved July 2, 1862. This act donated public lands to the several States and Territories which might provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts, and directed the Secre¬ tary of the Interior to issue land scrip to the States in which there was not the re¬ quisite quantity of public land. The act further directed that the money derived from this source should constitute a perpetual fund, the principal of which should be inviolably appropriated by each State to the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one techno¬ logical college, whose leading object should be, without excluding other scien¬ tific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach branches of learning pertaining to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. It was further provided that the provisions of the act should be formally accepted by the State Legislature. By joint resolution, ap¬ proved November t, 1871, the Legislat¬ ure of Texas accepted the provisions of the Congressional legislation, and accor 1 - ingly there was issued to Texas scrip for 180.000 acres of public land, which was sold for $174,000. This amount was in¬ vested in Texas 7 per cent gold frontier bonds. At the time of the opening of the College there was an addition to the fund of accrued interest amounting to $35,000, which was invested in 6 per cent State bonds. In an act approved April 17, 1871, the Legislature provided for the estab¬ lishment of the Agricultural and Me¬ chanical College. By the terms of this act and later acts, appropriations aggre¬ gating $187,000 were made for buildings and equipment. A commission to locate the College was created by the Legis¬ lature. After careful investigation, the commission accepted the proposition of the citizens of Brazos County and lo¬ cated the institution on a tract of 2,416 acres of land in that county. Finally, the Constitutional Convention of 1876 constituted the College a branch of the University of Texas, and, in accordance with the terms of the Federal legislation, designated it as an institution for in¬ struction in agriculture and the me¬ chanic arts, and the natural sciences con¬ nected therewith. The convention furth¬ er provided that the Legislature should have the right to levy taxes for the maintenance and support of the Agri¬ cultural and Mechanical College. The College was formally opened for the reception of students October 4. 1876. At that time there were only two buildings, the Main Building- and Gath- right Hall, to accommodate the few who realized the advantages offered for se¬ curing an industrial education. The Main Building served both for the use of a dormitory and a recitation buildin . while Gathright Hall was the first strong¬ hold of Mr. Sbisa. The second and third floors of the latter hall served as a dormitory. 6 THB1911 For the tirst ten years the institution made very slow progress, after which there spread over the College a sudden burst of prosperity, and the Mechanical Engineering Building, Pfeuffer Hall, Austin Hall, and the Assembly Hall were built in quick succession in the late ’80s. These were followed by Ross Hall in 1892, the Mess Hall in 1897, the Agri¬ cultural and Horticultural Building in 1898, Foster Hall in 1899, and the Tex¬ tile Engineering Building within the last ten years. In 1909 the Administration Building and the Engineering Building were finished, and at present two new dormitories, Milner Hall and Leggett Hall, are being hurried to completion. These latter halls when completed will relieve to a slight extent the congestion of tents and will make room for addi¬ tional students next season. It is ex¬ pected that the attendance during the next session will reach the twelve hun¬ dred mark. The new dormitories will be up-to-date in every respect and will ac¬ commodate four hundred cadets. The College has from the opening rendered valuable service to the agricultural and mechanical interests of Texas. The last three years has been the period of most rapid growth and development. It has grown along other lines besides the rapid increase in buildings. At present it has become a prominent factor in the minds of the people of this great State. It is no longer considered a reformatory, as it was some years ago, its moral standard being of the highest type. A high sense of honor prevails among the students, the honor system being in vogue. Un¬ marvelled progress has been made in the Military Department. At present it is ranked by the national War Denart- ment amoing the ten distinguished in¬ stitutions in the United States. This is the first time in history that an agricultural and mechanical college has gained this coveted honor. A. and M. is the largest college in the world entire¬ ly under military discipline, there being at present more than one thousand cadets receiving scientific and practical training for the duties and responsibilities of life. The work of the College can be best understood by a brief statement of the courses of study provided. There are eight regular courses of study offered, each of which requires four years for completion and leads to the degree of bachelor of science. The courses are as follows : Agriculture, Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Chemical Enginering, and Textile Engineering. There are also offered the following courses: a graduate course in Agricul¬ ture, leading to the degree of master of science in Agriculture; a graduate course leading to the degree of civil engineer, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, textile engineer; a two-years course in Textile Engineering, and a two - years course in Agriculture for teachers. Stu¬ dents taking the courses in Agriculture are given instruction in Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Veter¬ inary Science. Chemistry and Biology, in addition to the regular academic studies. Instruction V Military Science covers Mur years. Instruction is also given in English. History, Journalism, Language, Public Speakine, Mathematics, Physics, and PTighway Engineering. The author¬ ities of the College, ever ready and anx¬ ious to serve the State in the most nrac- tical and effective way. have established a corresnondence course in Agriculture, and have also arranged to mve certain practical and scientific studies in the Summer School for the benefit of a Free number of farmers who can not leave their homes for the full time of a reg¬ ular course. 7 Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture now gives ins truction in four separate and distinct courses. These are: Agricult¬ ure proper, Horticulture, Animal Hus¬ bandry, and the Teachers’ Course. The Departments of Veterinary Science, En¬ tomology, Botany, and Bacteriology give instruction along their respective lines in each of the several agricultural courses. The Agricultural Course proper con¬ sists chiefly in a study of soils and of crops which are grown in the fields. Farm crops and their relations to the various types of soil, their cultivation and management in general receive care¬ ful consideration. The Course in Dairying comes under this department, and in it very efficient work is given along the lines of butter¬ making. creamery management, a n d dairying. The Horticultural Department deals chiefly along lines of orchards and truck crops. The fruits which are grown in our State are studied thoroughly. The cultivation, pruning, and spraying of our fruit trees is of great importance, and therefore practical demonstrations are given along with the theoretical side of this work. The business of trucking is similarly treated so that the student may be well able to carry on work along that line. The Animal Husbandry Department has for its chief object the study of the live stock interests in this State. Care¬ ful instruction is given along the lines of judging, feeding and breeding of all kinds of live stock. The Department of Veterinary Science is an important ad¬ junct of this department. In recent years a great demand for agricultural teachers has arisen. To satisfy this demand a course in Teaching is now given. Besides the regular work in Agriculture, the students taking this course receive instruction in Psychology, School Management, and Methods of Education. Besides the work along agricultural lines which is given in the various courses, instruction is also given in Chemistry, Physics, English, Mathemat¬ ics, and History, thus offering to anyone taking the Agriculrural Course the op¬ portunity of receiving a well - rounded education.

But although the profes¬ sion is new, the subject matter is as old as civilization. Chemical Engineering is, in fact, nothing but the practice of in¬ dustrial chemistry made exact and scien¬ tific, each process now being under al¬ most perfect control, whereas formerly the nature of the resulting manufactured product was subject to wide fluctuations and uncertainties. This difference be¬ tween Chemical Engineering - and the earlier industrial chemistry is well illus¬ trated in the cement industry, the modern product being sold under rigid specifica¬ tions ; in the sugar industry, almost the entire sugar content of the cane being re¬ covered as commercial granulated sugar in modern mills and refineries; and es¬ pecially in the iron and steel industry, modern practice enabling the iron master to put on the market special steels of greatly varying properties, adaptable to almost any engineering requirement. The cotton seed industry—the “elixir of life” of the New South—furnishes a pleasing example of successful chemical engineering. By taking the raw materials of nature and fashioning them into useful articles of commerce, the chemical engineer is comparable in his economic relations with the agriculturalist who, through living organisms, tranforms the carbonic acid of the soils into our food supply—with this distinction, that the value of the manufactured porducts exceeds many fold the total of all agricultural products. One word should be said about the recent developments in pure science which have rendered possible the crea¬ tion of a Chemical Engineering profes¬ sion. The developments which laid the foundation for this new profession are usually classed under the head of Phys¬ ical Chemistry—a science which drives into oblivion all old mysterious notions concerning chemistry—the “black art”— and explains nearly all known chemica 1 phenomena by the help of modern idea’ of kinetics.

Department of Civil Engineering. After wandering from one set of cramped quarters to another for a score of years, the Civil Engineering Depait- ment was last year provided with a spa¬ cious fireproof building, which it shares with the Architectural Engineering and Physics Departments for the present. During this session, there has been scarcely an hour during the working hours of the week when a single section room has remained unoccupied. Last year one well - equipped drafting - room sufficed for the students in structural and bridge engineering, but this year two such rooms have their capacities taxed by the classes in this subject. The engineering equipment of the de¬ partment consists of such instruments as surveyor’s transits, Gurley and .Saegmiil- v ler solar attachment, Davis solar screen, city transits, plain transits, pocket tran¬ sits, wye levels, dumpy levels, terracing level, hand level, solar compasses, needle compasses, sextant, plane table, aneroid barometers, odometer, pedometer, polar and rolling planimeters, pantographs, drafting machines, calculating machines and slide rules of various kinds, chains, tapes, rod poles, pins, etc. The Testing Laboratory contains two Rhiele and one Fairbanks cement test¬ ing machine, one 50,000-inch-pound Ol¬ sen torsion testing machine, one 50,000- pound Olsen universal testing machine, one 100,000-pound Rhiele automatic and autographic testing machine, one abra¬ sion cylinder for testing paving bricks, etc. All of the above are driven by a three-phase 5-k.w. motor from a line shaft belt connected to machine. The Hydraulic Laboratory is fully equipped with such apparatus as Boyden hook gauges, pressure gauges, Pelton and Doble water motors, measuring tanks, weirs, etc. 19 D. W. Spence, B.S., C.E.

The first two years of the course are devoted to general cultural and scien¬ tific subjects, which lay the foundation for the technical courses to follow. It includes such subjects as Physics, Mat he¬ matics, and shop work. The Electrical Engineering proper is taken up in the Junior and Senior years. In these two years the student completes the study of Electrical Engineering as applied to both direct and alternating currents, learns the principles of electric machine design, studies the telegraph and tele¬ phone systems, and gets a general con¬ ception of the engineering and economic features of electric railway work and of power transmission. The laboratory courses are strong and students operate and test various types of commercial machines, the theory of which they have already been taught in the class-room. The equipment of the department is modern and up-to-date in every respect. The Electrical Measurement Laboratory contains a large number of very fine in¬ struments, both of American and foreign make. Among these are all the neces¬ sary standards for measuring capacity, inductance, resistance, electromotive- force and current. The Dynamo Labora¬ tory is equipped with direct and alternat¬ ing current generators and motors, trans¬ formers, storage batteries, rheostats, re¬ sistances, one complete Otis elevator equipment, mercury arc converters, ro¬ tary converters, a complete equipment of meters, both alternating and direct current, stop watches, and tachometers, etc. Among the other equipment of the department is a station photometer, an illumination photometer, dark rooms, a modern lighting exhibit containing car¬ bon incandescent. Tungsten, Nernst, al¬ ternating. and direct current enclosed arcs, and several types of flaming arc lamps, an automatic telephone exchange, telephone equipments, and a complete workshop equipped with motor-driven lathe, motor-driven drill nress, metal shears, and complete sets of tools. 21 ■ F.

The aim of this department is to give such training as will enable students to use their mother tongue readily and ac¬ curately. The instruction, therefore, is practical rather than theoretical. Writ¬ ten exercises are required, and these are not only carefully read by the instructor, but are also discussed in personal con¬ ference with the individual student. In this way each student has his attention called to his most frequent errors, and suggestions especially adapted to his needs are made. A course in this department that is exceedingly helpful to the future engin¬ eers is the course in Public Speaking, which was established this year. The student here learns the art of making public addresses. Another course that is of benefit to the student is the course in Modern Lan¬ guages. A practical knowledge of Ger¬ man, French, or Spanish is imparted to the student, so that he will be aided in the prosecution of a scientific career. In the advanced work the reading is grad- n y adapted to the scientific work of other departments. TH E 1911 LOt GHORr C. P. Fountain, A.M. Professor of English.

It is the aim of the History Depart¬ ment to have the student learn that his¬ tory deals with the life of a nation in the process of growth; that the content of history is not a dead thing, but that it lives and moves; that it obeys the law of continuity; that there are no breaks or leaps; that development may, hasten or may slacken, but that it is always con¬ tinuous, and that the operation of the law of continuity makes history a unit. The study of the life of any people re¬ veals certain characteristics common to the history of all civilized nations; there will be found five well-marked phases— a political, a religious, an educational and industrial, and a social phase. The stu¬ dent should understand that history is one continuous current moving on to¬ ward one purpose—not one destiny for government, another for church, and so on, but that all these make one life with one destiny. He is encouraged to trace all these lines of growth. A brief course in Economics, covering the fundamentals of economic theory, is covered in the first half of the Senior year. The other half is taken up with a survey of the main facts in the economic and social development of America, a more intensive study of Southern condi¬ tions, a careful examination of several of the more important economic, polit¬ ical and social problems now confront¬ ing Americans. Constant attention is paid to current happenings of economic and social significance. 27 O. F. Chastain. Associate Professor of History.

For without a good working knowledge of mathematics a student could not fully understand and master the different engineering subjects and an engineer would be seriously handicapped in solving the many diffi¬ cult problems to be encountered in his profession. This department thoroughly drills the student in each of the mathematical courses, beginning with Plane Geometry and Algebra in the Sub-Freshman Class, through advanced Algebra, Solid Geom¬ etry, Plane and Spherical Trigonome¬ try in the Freshman Class, Analytical Geometry and Differential and Integral Calculus in the Sophomore, and ending with a course in Practical Mathematics in the Junior year. The course in Prac¬ tical Mathematics is a systematic review of the essential features of the different mathematical subjects with their practical applications to engineering problems. 29 Charles Puryear, M.A., B.Sc., C.E.

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 Me¬ chanics. Yet it is a complete course in itself, embracing the design, construction and erection of machinery, power plant equipment, etc., and the operation of the same with the greatest economy of labor and materials. This course is offered with the view of giving the student such training. It is not possible to furnish that ex¬ perience which comes only with long service, but the aim is to give the power to understand and apply established prin¬ ciples to engineering problems met with in practical work. The work is carried on in both class rooms and shop or laboratory. In the shop, the student works with woods and various kinds of metals, get¬ ting experience in the handling of tools and materials. The main result sought is not the training of the student as a mechanic, but the giving of clear and definite ideas of the behavior of mate¬ rials under the various technological processes, which can be acquired only by personal contact and experience. The department is equipped with a wood shop, forge shop, machine shop, and a tool-room. The Engineering Lab¬ oratory contains steam engines, a gas¬ oline engine, steam turbine, steam and power pumps, fans, water motors, hot air engine, condensers, air pump, in¬ jectors, and a full line of indicators, gauges, pyrometers, tachometers, brakes, etc. In addition, students have access to all the apparatus of the power plant. 33 E.

A recent removal in¬ to new quarters, an increase in the num¬ ber of instructors and a large amount of first-class laboratory apparatus enables thi s department to give a very complete course in the study of physical phenom¬ ena. The work is carried on by reci¬ tations in the class-room, supplemented with practice in the laboratory. Theory is at all times linked with practice, the department being well supplied with all necessary apparatus. Stress is laid on problems presented in the text-books and on the derivation of the various formulae necessary for a thorough un¬ derstanding of the mathematical rela¬ tions existing in physical determinations. 37 J.

The unprecedented development of the cotton milling industry in the South has brought about an era of prosperity and created a strong demand for educated young men in this industry. The State of Texas ofifers excellent advantages for the manufacture of cotton goods in its vast supply of raw material, intelligent labor and excellent climatic conditions, and it is thought that cotton manufactur¬ ing will develop as rapidly as skilled and capable management, familiar with local conditions, is to be had. It is with a view to preparing young men for entering the field of textile manufacturing that this course is given. The building is of modern cotton mill construction and contains the latest models of textile machinery. In the Department of Yarn Manufact¬ ure the equipment consists of apparatus for carding, combing, drawing, roving, spinning, spooling, twisting, suling, warp¬ ing, and slashing. In the Department of Weaving there are some ten hand looms for four-beam work. The power looms consist of one Northrop print cloth loom, one 30-inch terry towel loom, one “Gem” dress goods loom, one Crompton damask loom with 6oo-hook, double cylinder, double lift Holton jacquard, one cotton loom with 400-hook jacquard, one sat¬ een loom, several drawing-in frames, one 40-inch Northrop loom, one plain loom for twills and sateens, one gingham loom, one bobbin-winding machine, one 6oo ? s piano card-cutting machine, one card-lacing frame. The power weaving section is also equipped with, all neces¬ sary supplies and accessories, including loom beams, warping frames, harness frames, heddles, and change gears. The Finishing Department contains apparatus for insnecting, finishing, sew¬ ing. rolling, brushing, calendering, and folding. The power is furnished by electric motors conveniently placed for the prop¬ er distribution of power as required. J. B. Bagley, B.A. Professor of Textile Engineering.

The course in Architectural Engineer¬ ing is comparatively a new one at the College, bince its inauguration it has been steadily growing in popularity, the number of students taking the course in¬ creasing with each succeeding session. This is conclusive proof that there is a growing demand for this class of in¬ struction, which is due to the rapid material and industrial development of this State. Buildings have grown to such pro¬ portions that it is no longer possible for the common builder to properly plan them. The designer of a modern build¬ ing must understand steel and reinforced concrete construction, he must be fa¬ miliar with the principles of ventilation, lighting, heating, water supply, and sew¬ age disposal, and he must be fami iar with the best architectural work of the past and the present time, in order to be able to design a building which is pleasing in appearance and also convenient in plan and safe and sanitary in construction. It is the obj ect of the Department of Archi¬ tectural Engineering to train young men for this class of work. Recently the College courses were ad¬ vanced materially and the new courses became effective in the Freshman Class of this session; the Class of 1914 will be the first to graduate under the advanced courses. This advance in the curricula has enabled the Department of Archi¬ tectural Engineering to offer two courses —one in Architecture and one in Archi¬ tectural Engineering, and the student is allowed to choose between the two when he reaches the Senior Class. In the first of these courses prominence is given to the aesthetic side of an architect’s work, while in the latter the constructive feat¬ ures are given prominence. The regular four-years course includes general courses in English, History, Eonomics, Modern Languages, Military Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chem¬ istry, and Geology; and technical courses in Drawing, Descriptive Geometry, Per¬ spective, Pen and Ink and Water Color Rendering, Architectural History, Archi¬ tectural Design, Surveying and Level¬ ing. Materials of Construction, Mechan¬ ics of Materials. Stresses in Bridge and Roof Trusses, Structural Design, Ma¬ sonry Construction, Sanitary Engineer¬ ing, Electric Lighting and Wiring, Pleat¬ ing and Ventilation, and Building Con¬ struction. Each year the members of the grad¬ uating class, together with the head of the Denartment. make trips to various parts of the State to inspect and study different buildings and the manufacture of the different building materials.

After the winter term exams, the thoughts of all turn to the annual “hike” of the Corps to t he Brazos. These “hikes” were instituted for a two-fold purpose; to give practical instruction in marching and camping, and to relieve the “kaydets” from the monotony of the daily grind. Just at this season of the year the climate at the College is very conducive to all the foot, leg, and toe diseases known to the human family and the ani¬ mal kingdom, judging from the “line up” which confronted the “Doc” on the af¬ ternoon before our departure. But when the “Fakes” had been waved aside, a measley half dozen or so obtained per¬ mission to deprive themselves of the fun. The “line up” the next morning, each cadet having a blanket roll and equip¬ ment, presented a mottled appearance, compared with the usual neatness at for¬ mations, but all were in good spirits, de¬ spite a misty atmosphere. At 7:30 we marched out at the “big gate” and “hit the road” for the bottoms, only seven miles away. After a march of two and a half hours, and several ex¬ hausting skirmishes with sand stretches, we reached the densely wooded bottoms of the Brazos, stacked arms, and at once set about preparing shelter and the other requisites of a model military camp, with the persuasion and diligence of the “Sophs” and “fish,” respectively. After this was done, the rest of the day was given over to fun and frolic, with a dubious eye on the drill and sham battle scheduled for the morrow. Some went hunting, some boating, and some bathing, with various and amusing re¬ sults ; and a goodly number spent the afternoon nursing feet, made tired and tender by the arduous morning’s march. 93 The next morning one poor ‘‘fish” who had never had a nightmare before was able to give a vivid description of same, to the great amusement of a tousle- headed audience. The accursed notes of Reveille were greeted, for the time, with lusty shouts of welcome, for we had slept on a hard and bumpy ground, with a single blanket for bed, cover and pil¬ low. Being assured by the “Bull” that this was an evidence of patriotism, and the lot of a soldier, we let it pass with no further comment. Guard - mounting was held with the usual regularity, and guards were posted for the day. The two following days of drill and sham battle relieved us of near¬ ly all our surplus “pep,” and put us in good condition to hide the allowance of rations, consisting of “spuds,” “dope,” bacon, bread, and a little “cush,” but no “reg,” which was keenly missed by some, from force of habit. The sham battle was quite interesting, and the results showed good generalship on both sides. The Second Battalion withdrew about two miles up the river, detoured to the northeast and made an attack on the camp, which was defended by the First Battalion and the Field Bat¬ tery. The attack was furious, and equal¬ ly furious was the reception given the invaders by the First, under the com¬ mand of Major Arneson, and the Bat¬ tery, commanded by Lieutenant Mclll- heney. The attack was ably led by Maj¬ or Sherrard. The boom of the artillery made us think for awhile we were real “soldier boys,” and the prick of a sand- burr here and there was sufficient to en¬ liven the illusion of bullets. 94 Due to the superior position held by the First and the Battery, stationed just under the slope of a hill, and to the lack of deviation from the normal attack by the vSecond, the defending force was given the decision by the umpires. After the battle, friend and foe went arm and arm, in keen anticipation of the “eats” promised by our good steward, Colonel Sbisa. On the second night of our adventure, after all the “taps” had been taken up, and all were reposing peacefully in the arms of Morpheus, a veritable pandemo¬ nium broke loose. “The old gray mare came tearing out of the wilderness” with chains and harness rattling, and a dozen or more cow-bells ringing in awful dis¬ cord. She tore through camp at a fright¬ ful pace, seemingly driven by demons of the devil. Somebody has said “Dutch” Holm was responsible for the phenome¬ non, but we would not so reflect on “Dutch’s” peaceable disposition, especial¬ ly as the evidence was circumstantial. After a night of fantastical dreaming on our aforesaid beds, and a Sabbath of hilarity, four-ring circuses, and clowns, all were of a perfectly docile disposition and eager to be led back to College, where they might accept the welcome hospitality of their downy couches; look once more at the familiar leaves of their beloved books, and tell the fellows who “piked” what a-of a good time they had missed.

Artillery Corps, Veterans of Lost Cause; College Rifle Club; Senior A. E. Society; Disciple of Peanuts; Waco Club. “Jhan.” Jlu.n is the pride of the Artillery Corps. 1 hat organization has several medal-winners cn its roll, but when it comes to “anti-Fletch- crizing,” Jhan gets the trophy. Reg and prease, with a few plates of bread, are his specialties, and to-day he remains the unde¬ feated champion of the mess hall, the only m- ' n wl ' 1 ' ' has wer h«ld the record for four consecutive years. In many ways Jhan is hard to figure out, but this is accounted for by saying that he is a “civilized Dutchman.” GEORGE WALLACE BARNES,........ ..........................Corpus Christi. Agriculture. Field Battery; Captain Football Team; All State Tackle To-n; All Southwestern Tackle ’o- ' -ro: Member “T” Ass ' datL’ ' ' : Hentific Agricultural Association; Captain Veterans of Lost Cause. “Barcus.” When one beholds this tall lad with the s ' -’-ji-fel whiskey complexion, thouehts of mighty men present themselves. A Gotch he in stature, and many of his opponents on the gridiron have been justified in believing him to be a Gotch in A. M. togs. Aside from football abilities, Barcus is a headliner in some of his classes—viz., Chemistry and Bull Ticks. The ease and grace with which 1m sits in the saddle at artillery drill would well befit this youth for a dashing officer, but, as we have it. the firm of Barnes Moore has already been incorporated. Oh you pigs! FRED J. BECHERT,........Corpus Christi. Mechanical Engineering. Capt. Co. “B”; Corp. and Sgt. Co. “G”; B. and B. Club; “G” Co. Football Team; Vice- Pres. G. H. B. C. ’09: Vice-Pres. Junior Class ’09-10; Vice-Pres. M. E. Society To -11; Fin¬ ance Committee Junior Banquet To; Decora¬ tion Committee Thanksgiving Hop To; R. V.; Y. M. C. A. “Fritz.” Like unto Cosine, we have it that Fritz wore his side arms in a certain little city by the Gulf during the holidays. Again, after consider¬ ing his general knowledge of military affairs and beholding his carefully designed figure, do these not recall fond remembrances of the Cucro product? At present he is a mainstay r f the place where Notty held forth, and says, rnly to his closest friends, that if Emil will give him an instructorship, he will return next year. No, he does not want the U. S. A. j ob. GEORGE AMOS BLACKALLER,........ .............................Frio Town. Animal Husbandry. Field Battery; Tent Row Clerk; Y. M. C. A.; Scientific Agricultural Association. ■ ' Black.” Black was once a member of the ’08 class, but he failed to return in his Senior year, and after three years of cowpunching, he has returned to finish his course. Many Soph¬ omores, when they first saw Black, stopped, looked, and asked, “Who is that long, bow- legged fish with the important look?” Black loves to talk about science, but when it comes to talking of Frio County, he can out¬ talk any Senior. Although Black is a Senior Private, he is not in the beloved Artillery Corps, but is flunk for Tent Row. This is why so many Senior Privates envy him. HORACE BOYETT,................Bryan. Civil Engineering. Field Battery; Allen Academy Club; Senior Rifle Club; S. ' O. L; B. B. Club. This exhibit is from Brazos County, which perhaps accounts for some of his fierceness. Horace used to think he was a famous South American revolutionist until he heard Thal- mann’s great speech on “Conciliation with the Cannoneers.” Since listening to that soul¬ stirring appeal Boyett has kept his sword sheathed and is thinking of greater things. Since Jack Ehler’s marriage hope has risen in his breast, and after graduation this re¬ formed incorrigible intends to settle down for good. O. F. BRANDT,................San Diego. Electrical Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Co. “C”; B. and B. Club; Southwest Texas Club. “Otto.” Otto is a second Sphinx. He is silence itself and his secrets have never been discov¬ ered. Otto is very studious—in fact, so studi¬ ous that, had the Bull been willing, he would have missed that instructive and entertaining Dallas trip in order to bone up in E. E. Otto and the Bull had quite a squabble about quart¬ ers. which very nearly caused Otto to desert “C” Company, to become one of Peanuts’ no¬ torious artillerymen, but they compromised before any lasting damage was done. For three years Otto did no censurable act, but this vear he rooms with Jimmie Nagle. g WILLIAM P. BRISCOE,..........Fulshear. Civil Engineering. Associate Editor-in-Chief Long Horn ; Capt.

Hop; As¬ sistant Editor-in-Chief Long Horn ’09-10; Co. “D” Baseball Team; Press Club; Ar¬ rangement Committee Junior Banquet. “President oe Association ’ “Ceaytop.” Peacock, the alleged Q. S. M. A. of Texas, has sent some remarkable recruits to A. M., but as yet none have compared with this slim youth, who rode barrels even before he could toddle. Peg-top trousers are a great boon to Claytop—he uses them to disguise his skinny “parabolas.” He drove into college, made an early sortie against Bryan society, was repulsed, and settled down to a peaceful life, doing good for both himself and the association. ben McCulloch brown,:....R ockport. Mechanical Engineering. Captain Band; Senior Rifle Club; M. E. Society. “Bismarck,” “Liza.” Bismarck is King of the Jungles and makes his habitation with Woos Spencer, alias Slim. He hails from the renowned seaport Rockport, and his favorite watchword is, “Watch Rock- port grow.” Bismarck acquired a ravenous ap- netite for Math, and at the present can eat “dy dx” served in any style. He is the Me¬ chanical Engineering section’s “Reference Book.” Bismarck knows all about S equals MC. 1 CLAUDE BROWN,.................Mathis. Electrical Engineering. A. L. E.

Peacock Club. “Little Boy.” This curly-haired disciple of John Avery came into the limelight when he began to trot with Doc Gilbert, and later by his great work in launching the B. and B. Club move¬ ment, of which he managed to make himself handler of the coin. He follows E. E. books and can cause the heaviest short-circuit of any member of the class, but says after leaving here he intends to attend the Moler Barber College at Dallas. HENRY POWEEL BROWN,........Cuero. Agriculture. Corp. Co. “D”; Sgt. Co. “D”; ist Lieuten¬ ant Co. “E”; R. V.; Scientific Agricultural Society; Member of Chicago Stock Judging Team of 1910. Horsepower. H. P. is from the land of Cosine and, like his great predecessor, has proven himself a great war chief, whom Bull nor devil scare. Brown’s greatest fault is the fact that when he is not sleeping he is thinking about some fair little damsel whom he has recently met. He often says that it takes a long tall dark- complexioned man to break a woman’s heart. Brown is the most industrious son that the Dago City of Cuero has ever sent to the A. M. College. In fact, he has worked so hard that he is now taking only three studies: A. H., History and Bull Ticks. W. ' T. BRYANT,................Hillsboro. Chemical Engineering. Veterans of Lost Cause; Austin Literary Society; Milner Debating Society; Secretary A. M. Rifle Club. Rusty. Rusty reminds one of Whistler’s master¬ piece, “From Engineering to Bug-hunting,” in that Rust} ' - did not change to Bug-hunting. He went the Chemical Engineering route when that course was announced. Rusty has an abundance of friends who have thought se¬ riously of calling in the alienists. He rooms with Grandpa Terry and together they have worked out a number of hypotheses that lay Avogadro and Messrs. Gay and Lussac on the shelf. RICHARD CAREY,...........Sabine Pass. Electrical Engineering. Co. “E”; Baseball; Clerk Co. “E”; Pres. East Texas Club; A. I. E. E.; ist Sergt. Artillery. Dick, Sea Gull, Old Sea Salt, Sea Bird. This “old bird” flew into College Station in a strong sou’-easter some four years ago. His nesting-place is in Sabine Pass. When it comes to tales of the sea. “Old Opie Dil- dock,” of Ross Hall Jungle fame, is not in it. “Old Sea Salt” was for sometime elaborating on his masterpiece, “Ninety-nine Years Be¬ fore the Mast; or, Why I Left the Sea”; one of his great tales is “Sea Serpents I Have Saw.” “Sea Gull” says that the tubes in a marine boiler run fore and aft. Someone says the “Gull wears glasses to prevent a certain party from beating him up. He says he is going to join the Pilots’ Association after he finishes here. JOHN G. CARROLL,............Galveston. Electrical Engineering. A. I. E. E.; Pres. Galveston Club; Press Club; Sergt. Band; ist Lieut. Band; Asso¬ ciate Editor Long Horn. John.” John hails from Island City and, like many lovers of the “Vaterland,” is a very smart Dutchman. John is very popular with the pro¬ fessors, and they will miss him when he is back at Galveston wiping dynamos. Like c keeler, after wiping machinery a few months, he may return to the College as an instructor. He has experienced some of the thrills of an instructor in the Physics Department, hav¬ ing instructed three or four days in that de¬ partment as a try-out. This big islander would have made a husky football hero had he ever had his parents’ permission—and his cwn. JOHN S. CAVITT,..................Bryan. Electrical Engineering. 1 st Lieutenant Co. “H”; Sgt. Co. “H”; A. I. E. E.; Y. M. C. A.; Allen Academy Club. Nobly ' Biscuits.” Nobly is another package sent out from the northern terminal of the B. C. I. R. R. Like T. Bear Christian, he had to return to the nest weekly during his first year, but on Sunday nights would always be back with a basket of biscuits for his captain. Biscuits and the other needful ingredients produced results, and he slowly but surely rose from the ranks to sergeant, and from sergeant to a faithful lieutenant. His face is a warn¬ ing to the users of cosmetics. J. R. CHRISTIAN,................Houston. Civil Engineering. Corporal Co. E”; Sgt. Co. “G”; 2d Lieu¬ tenant Co. “L”; Y. M. C. A.; Houston Club. Bruin.” How this mother’s darling has faced the blasts at A. M. for four years is by us. For three years Bruin was cradled by the “Big Bear,” but since that latter’s departure his military career has been directed by mail. We can recommend this mail method, for it pulled not only a corporalship, sergeantship, and “seccnd-addish,” but also kept this frail infant from being exposed to the rigorous winter climate of Camp Milner. If there were no calendars at College, the cadets could be sure of Saturday by watching Bruin and his little black turkey “Houston Bound.” CALVIN E. COCK ,............San Marcos. Civil Engineering. Corporal; Sergeant; K. K.; Ross Volunteer; Artillery Corps. “Huavy.” This heavyweight hails from the banks of the San Marcos. From the date of his en¬ trance here, Calvin developed a wonderful aptitude for military affairs, and now is en¬ gaged in editing a book entitled “Uniforms That Should Be Worn at A. M.” This work is receiving the serious consideration of Brig and the Bull and it is earnestly hoped, by the corps, artillery especially, that these needed reforms will be inaugurated. EUGENE SPENCER COGHILL,........ ...............................Rockport. Civil Engineering. “C” Co. Baseball Team ’08; “L” Co. Base¬ ball ’09 and ’10; “G” Co. Football ’09 and ’to; 2d Battalion Football Team ’10; Vice-Pres¬ ident Turnvereins; 2d Lieutenant Co. “G”; Veterans of Lost Cause ’10. “Cog.” Eugene, Cog, General or most any old name fits this young citizen from Rockport. When he entered the College he had hopes of fin¬ ishing with the Class of ’10, but his hopes were blasted in a very short while, and the Class of ’n came into its own. Cog’s one soaring ambition is to be a general, and with this goal in view he has made a start by getting a “second-addish” in McAdam’s com¬ pany. Cog’s habit of sleeping in classes plays havoc with his grades, but after he accustoms himself to sleeping at night he can still make a big success of himself. Coghill was one of the self-appointed delegates to the Bryan Sun¬ day-School Convention and worked a good Bryan matron for two square meals. N. P. COLEMAN,..................Athens. Mechanical Engineering. Field Battery. “Jksus.” Jesus is one of the few surviving veterans of the old “C” Co. gang; in fact, he is the old¬ est inhabitant of Pfeuffer Hall on the campus at present, since Joe John has left. Jesus was never long on ranks, but when it comes to artillery service, he is there, for in that arm of the servieeUie has served two enlistments, a distinction that few can claim. He and Woos Spence came from the same burg, and have been trying to out-stay each other here, but the race seems to be a tie. Henrietta. ROSS H. CORBETT.......... Civil Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Co. “F”; Sergt. Co. ”F”; “F” Co. Football Team; North Texas Club; A. L. S. ' SpSck.” Corlett, better known as “Speck,” came to A. M. a Sophomore “hsh.” Corlett throws his hands up in horror when he hears any¬ thing with the word “English.” The first time Corlett went to a lesson in English, Prof. Lomax, always so loving and tender to “fish,” wanted to know where he was from. After Corlett told him that he was from North¬ west Texas, Prof Lomax asked him for a cow-boy song. Corlett said fie had never taken any interest in cow-boy songs. The result is, he has carried three terms of English behind him since that time. Cor¬ lett is a disciple of “Little Jimmie” and one of the best C. E.s on the job. He is never idle. When his problems are finished, he is always ready to help the fellow who wants to know what the lesson is for tomorrow. JESSE BARKLEY CRUM,..........Bryan. Architectural Engineering. ist Lieutenant and Adjutant 2d Battalion; R. V.; K. K.; Y. M. C. A.; President Glee! Club; President A. M. Tennis Club To; Treasurer Senior A. E. Society; Mgr. 2d Bat¬ talion Football Team. “Jesse Barkley.” Isn’t Barkley a pretty name? But what would you otherwise expect when you see the owner? Jess e is an old-time resident of the College, dating his entrance here when the Carsons were young, and if he continues to follow his present occupation of charming, his davs of servitude here are not at a near end. He has entertained every fern, who ever trod the campus, walks, sings, plays tennis, and has been known to utter harsh words. His favorite occupation is protesting all games won by the ist Battalion. C. D. DALLMEYER,..............Brenham. Textile Engineering. Gun Club; Veteran of Lost Cause; Y. M. C. A.; Artillery Corps. ? “Doll meter.” Dollmeter, as “Rip” calls him, came from a region of men wearing the bad-man brand, but, save for an occasional sortie, he has never evinced any liking for bloodshed. Dis¬ appointed either in love or the promotion list, Dollmeter resolved to spend the rest of his days weaving, hence took the T. E. course. Now at any time he may be found sitting in his room, silent and sad, designing weaves of a red and yellow pattern. L TOM B. DARST,................Richmond. Agriculture. K. K.; Scientific Agricultural Association; Football Squad; Baseball Team; Chairman Finance Committee Thanksgiving Hop ’09-10. “Tommy.” With many it is a question of debate as to which is really the biggest clown, Trigg or Darst; but in considering each, Tommy would lay it over Trigg had he been as far north as Trigg. Tommy went only to Oklahoma, while Trigg journeyed some leagues farther. Tommy once ordered one boss and two bug¬ gies from Bryan, but then this is only a minor incident of his checkered career. When he dies he says he wants to go wherever Scott Moore goes. DON O. DAVIS,................McKinney. Animal Husbandry. Capt. Co. “K”; R. V.; Press Club; Pres. Collin Co. Club ’09-10; Bus. Mgr. Student Parmer; Sergt. Co. “A”; Capt. “A” Co. P ' oot- ball ’09; Member of Stock-judging Team win¬ ning Swift Trophy; Scientific Agricultural Association; Thanksgiving Hop Comittee. “Cotton.” Cotton has long cherished a desire to break into College society, but some unknown and jealous charmer has queered him at every attempt. No doubt this charmer, stricken with that green-eyed monster, knew that Cot¬ ton, with his good looks, charming manner, and winsome ways, would immediately mo¬ nopolize the ladies and leave the said charm¬ er without an ear in which to coo. To soothe Clay’s wounded feelings, the Seniors allowed him to lead one of their hops, and he hasn’t tumbled yet. W. E. DICKERSON,.................Cuero. Civil Engineering. 1st Lieut, and Adjt. 3d Battalion; Sergt. Co. “H”; Ross Volunteers; Swastika; Manager 3d Battalion Football; Vice-Pres. of Glee Club; Chairman., of Reception Committee Thanksgiving Hop. “Nightingale.” Dick in his title role, “The Chief Charmer,” is one of the stars of the Senior Class. Ably supported by Pal Giesecke, he has made a hit at all social stunts and has done much toward upholding the reputation of our class along these lines. For, if it were not for our “Little Dick” and “Pal,” where would our class be socially? Dick’s principal adjunct in charming is his singing. He can put Caruso to shame when it comes to “Doing the Grizzly.” It was due to this all-important asset that he was chosen over Pal Giesecke as our “Chief Charmer.” HENRY A. DINTER,.............,.Cuero. Electrical Engineering. Artillery Corps; B. and B. Club; A. I. E. E.; Y. M. C. A. “Dr. Dinter.” Four years ago Dinter put another collar i i his suit-case and struck out for College with the determinination of a Grant to become a famous E. E. Someone said that they saw him when he had his bifocals off and that he is really a handsome man. Even if this is not true, his brain supplies wherein his looks fail, and if anything goes wrong in the E. E. Department, the Doctor can fix it. He is now engaged in counting the mistakes made in the apparatus designed by Senior E. E.s of last year. The Doctor has ideas all his own, and woe betide the poor creature who dares interrogate him. Yes he has a comb. CALVIN PHILIP DODSON,. .Leonard. Electrical Engineering. Veterans of Lost Cause; A. I. E. E.; “T” in Baseball ’09; 2d Lieut. Band. “Don.” Dod hails from the thriving metropolis of Leonard. Dod, each week, patiently awaits that great paper, The Leonard Aggravator. It has been noticed that Dod has replaced his class pin with a key on which appears the name “Kidd.” Dod has also been in the habit of receiving certain heavy epistles which have a distinguishing characteristic: the “i” in Calvin bears a ring above it. The mail-carrier of the “Jungles” has called them the “ringed I” letters. W. L. DORSEY,.............Nacogdoches. Electrical Engineering. Captain Co. “F”; First Sergeant Co. “F” ’09-10; Associate Business Manager Long Horn; Chairman Devotional Committee Y. M. C. A.; A. I. E. E.; East Texas Club; Pea¬ cock Club. “Dousev.” Dorsey is a student. He didn’t go to bed before Taps but one time the past year, and then he forgot himself. He often meets him¬ self getting up in the morning. This year he has an office chair and doesn’t have to go to bed at all. He says that he can sleep better now in this kind of chair, because it is more comfortable. Dorsey looks like a minister of the gospel, but, judging from his orations at class meeting, he would make a good “Hus ' tlin’ Johnson.” FRED D. FORD,..............Cordell, Okla. Civil Enymeering. Field Battery; B. and B. Club. Dan Patch ’ “Santa.” Santa was a very great man. His wisdom along all lines and his prowess as an athlete cause envy in the hearts of all his classmates. Plis abilities as an A. No. i trackman were brought out in his famous drill-ground sprint when a “fish,” and later during his Soph, year, taking unto himself some “pep,” he tried to do what Jeffries failed to do, but his two hundred pounds availed him not. In later life, Santa’s increase in bulk, his studious nature, and easy-going disposition have pre¬ vented his becoming really famous, but his fondest hopes were realized when he be¬ came a wearer of the cross-guns. Santa says Kelly is Irish. CHAS. H. FQRSGARD,.............Waco. Elec trie a l En g i neering. President Junior Class; R. V.; K. K.; Ser¬ geant Co. “H”; Football Squad; Students’ Council; E. E. Society; President Press Club; Major ist Battalion; Edilor-in-Chief Long Horn. “Fuzzy.” Fuzzy often is mistaken by the “fish” for John Carroll. Many ladies have wanted to meet that military man, but to date none have been able to enmesh him. Fuzzy and Dolly developed reputations for oratory at the class tree-planting last year, but they killed the tree. Fuzzy never has waded the Brazos River, and he can’t swim very gracefully, but he knows more about our natural resources than Pin- chot can write about. Fuzzy once made a driver of a Houston banana wagon get out of the way of the ist Battalion and endeared himself to the cadets, who are always quick to admire a nervy man. BRUCE FRAZIER,...-.............Belton. Agriculture. Manager Track Team Ti; K. K.; R. V.; Chairman Floor Committee Final Ball; Ar¬ rangement Committee Thanksgiving Hop and Senior Prom.; Assistant Yell Leader; Scien¬ tific Agricultural Association. ' Dr. Cook.” Here is another old landmark about to be removed from the campus. In his five years’ residence at the College, he has eked out an existence on two meals a day. Only once did he hear breakfast call, and that time, think¬ ing he heard the fire call, he arose, caught up his bucket and rushed with the throng into the Mess Hall to breakfast. He has the char¬ acteristics of an ideal charmer, plays golf, ten¬ nis, makes himself agreeable by pushing baby carriages, and has a form that looks grace¬ ful in other people’s clothes. His figure may be likened unto a railroad water tank. BERTRAM E. GIESECKE,.............. ...........................College Station.

Club; Chairman Social Committee Y. M. C. A.; A. E. Societ} ' . Pal” Little Pal has spent his young life on the campus and has our hearty sympathy. He took a trip to Germany once and learned to say, “Mein Lre,bchen.” Pal is a self-made charmer and serenades the Alfalfa Queens and other lady visitors to the campus with “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen.” He is an A. E. because his daddy is. Next year he is go¬ ing to transfer his charming to the corridors of Boston Tech. His one regret is that he and Buzz Harrison could not work up a the¬ sis together, “Because our papas could help us,, you know.” He and Joe Hollick, Jr., are the prime organizers of the Campus Club. C. L. GILBERT,................Smithville. Electrical Engineering. Capt. Co. “L ; Sergt. Co. B; R. V.; A. I. E. E. Mgr. “B” Co. Football; Asst. Yell Leader; Athletic Council. “Son,” “Fish-Killer.” There is only one “Son” Gilbert, and we are thankful to Fate that there is. Son is our military ideal, and he is growing more chesty every day, as there will be an appoint¬ ment for an “Uncle Sam job” in June. We hope that he will get this “second-addish” and be stationed on the Isle of Guano, but we are afraid that he will fall down on the physical examination; not that he has not an abundant physique, but his nervous system was wrecked by the report: “Captains will receive no watches.” He has frightened sev¬ eral muses with his prayers and meanings of “Dahktah, lemme die E—Z—Y !” HARRY D. GOHLMAN,...........Houston, Mechanical Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Co. “M”; Houston Club; Secv. West End Tennis Club; Glee Club; Y. M. ' C. A.; B. and B. Club; M. E. Society. “MooniS.” Moonie is musically inclined. When a Freshman, often could he be heard playing his mandolin in bed after Taps, and still is often found playing his favorite—“I would if I could.” Moonie is a disciple of Fer- mier and can design gear wheels, but is often showing his ability as artist of the Harrison Fisher type. Although he is an M. E. and is from Heavenly Houston and often disturbs the place with his music (?), he is as happy as Jimmie Nagle was after the Dallas trip, and as good-natured as Whale Summers. O. H. GRAY,.................San Antonio. Electrical Engineering. Vice-President B. and B. Club; A. I. E. E.; President San Antonio Club; Co. “E” Football; V. L. C.; Sergeant Co. “E”; Swas¬ tika ; Captain Co. “M ; R. V. “Rosy, “Four Link Mechy ' “Aaron Roger ' ’ A profound knowledge of mechanisms and a striking resemblance to Notty early earned for this would-be ’io man, the sobriquet of “Four Link.” In the latter part of his Jun¬ ior year he succeeded in landing sergeant stripes by his medal-winning abilities and bis “niceness and “kindness” to Ward and Hico. For want of news, the San Antonio Express once ran a wood-cut of this holiday society leader, and had it that Four Link was one of the most military men on the campus. However this dealer of dope must have never seen a real military man. HENRY FRITZ GROTE,...........Mason. Agriculture. Scientific Agricultural Association; Second Lieutenant Veterans of Lost Cause; Students’ Council; Press Club; Editor-in-Chief Student Earmer To and Yi. “Shorty.” Shorty is a long, lean, hungry-looking Dutchman, just six feet and six inches tall, who was captured in the mountains in Mason County. His captors saw the qualities of a bug-hunter in him, tied him securely in a pas¬ senger coach (the first train he ever saw) and sent him to A. M. Grote is scarcely seen without his belt in his hand ready to strap some “fish” on a mo¬ ment’s notice. He believes in the old maxim: “Spare the strap and spoil the fish.” Conse¬ quently fresh fish get theirs before they spoil. C. M. HENDERSON,.........Van Alstyne. Agriculture. 2d Lieutenant and Quartermaster of 2d Bat¬ talion; 2d Lieutenant of R. V.; Athletic Coun¬ cil; Press Club; Scientific Agricultural As¬ sociation; “T” Association; Fort Worth Stock-judging Team; Chicago Team To. “Shorty,” “Hen.” Hen has made good in his classes and on the diamond, but when it comes to the Chi¬ cago trip, a different tale must be told. His failing to see “Salome,” his creating a sen¬ sation by attempting to change his socks on the main fioor of a large department store, his tampering with a patrol box, and his sleep in the State Street Station are a few of his experiences of the trip. For further par¬ ticulars of the experiences of this famous bug-hunter, one must consult Chicago news¬ papers. FELIX ITZ,.......... .......Fredericksburg. Civil Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Co. “E”; Sergeant Co. “E”; Member B. and B. Club. ‘• ' Fitz.” Ich bin der Knabe von Fredericksburg.” Fitz, as he is known by all the cadets, is a slave to duty. The way he handles the slide rule and Little Jimmie is amazing. His great trouble was in satisfying Dick that he under¬ stood the proper place in the sentence for his “already once.” JOSEPH WILLIAM JENNINGS,....... ............................Martindale. Agriculture. 2d Lieutenant Co. “A”; Corporal Co. “A”; Sergeant Co. “A”; Best Drilled Man Co. “A” 1910; Gold Medal in Butter-making Contest, Texas State Fair iQro; President Hays-Cald- well County Club; Scientific Agricultural Association. Here is another medal-winner; not a win¬ ner of the Carnegie hero medal bearing the legend, “Greater friend hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend,” but a winner of a medal in a butter¬ making contest. Aside from his reputation as a butter-maker, he has won additional glory as a military genius. We have it from his own authority that he struck terror to the heart of a Dallas footpad with drawn saber. From his portrait by Smith, he appears to have a very Napoleonic bearing, but as yet has not fully mastered the manual of the sa¬ ber, as per photo in back of the book. THOMAS J. JOHNSTON,...........Waco. Electrical Engineering. Field Battery; A. I. E. E.; B. B.; Rifle Club; V. of L. C.; Secretary-Treasurer Waco Club. “Tommy.” Do not mistake him for the Mayor of Cleve¬ land, although he has the same name, and we have no doubt as good personal characteris¬ tics as that honorable gentleman. The main difference is that Tommy’s length varies with the cube of his breadth, while the Mayor’s proportions are about as one to one. Tommy thinks he will make a first class E. E. and we think his hypotheses have been well founded. Pie is a gentle, docile chap; takes what comes in a manly way, and says nothing. This is the kind of man we admire and we think Tommy will not disappoint us, despite his associating with Dick Carey. HARRY JOSEPH KELLY.........Orange. Civil Engineering. Captain and Regimental Adjutant; R. V.; K. K.; Historian Senior Class; Chairman Invitation Committee Senior Prom; Sergeant Co. “E” Co. Baseball. “Kelly ’’ “Irish.” “Boys, I’m Irish!” Kelly hails from Orange. His being six feet one inch in height and weighing 140 pounds, together with his grace¬ ful movements and musical voice, have made him very popular with his classmates. Irish is somewhat a sport too, since he has worn Cretch’s pumps to classes all the year. He takes great interest in his history teacher’s lectures, for it is here he so often hears how our Irish built our railroads, filled our peni¬ tentiaries, and filled our offices. For two years the Class of ’11 was at a loss to know Kelly’s patriotism, and was very much per¬ plexed over the state of affairs until one even- at Retreat our nationality specialist, Santa Ford, pronounced him Irish. Since then he has been called Irish. EDGAR BRYAN KINCAID,.. .San Antonio. Agriculture. Veterans of Lost Cause; Artillery; Co. “H” Football; Secty. of Fish Fermier Club; Gun Club; Sciefitific Agricultural Association; San Antonio Club. “Cokey Kincaid.” Cokey was once a student of E. E. at ’Vars¬ ity, but is now a bug-hunter at A. M., so what can one expect of him? He says that coking is a lost art with him and that the trouble is in his ears, and perhaps it is — at least, we hope so. Cokey was one of the dele¬ gation of citizens sent from College to make a report on the military features at Dallas, and right well did he do, for he received a reward which few of us would not take pleasure in receiving—provided, of course, we took bug¬ hunting and could spare the time. J. V. KOONS.........................Nada. .. Mechanical Engineering. Sergt. Co. “C”; B. and B. Club; Battalion Staff Artist; Press Club; 1st Lieutenant Co. “M.” : i “J. V.” K-4-11 is not a laundry mark—it is the sig¬ nature of an Outcault. His masterpiece was a portrayal of engineers in trouble seeking a refuge, and since giving the world his master¬ piece, this Outcault has been satisfied to en¬ joy his fame and devote his time entirely to keeping himself away from this refuge. He doesn’t have time for inspirations for keep¬ ing Emil from hamstringing his goat—hence the scarcity of works of art bearing the once familiar K-4-TI. EDWARD M. KRAUSKOPF............ ..........................Fredericksburg. Civil Engineering. Veterans of Dost Cause; Rifle Club; B. and B. Club; Y. M. C. A. “Dutch.” Eddie is a typical Dutchman and is said to have come from Fredericksburg, where he graduated from the High School. One can¬ not appreciate his knowledge of the English language unless he has been in some of his classes with him. In Chem. he tries to teach them to say “Cl-Hg” instead of “Hg-Cl,” which is very wrong in English-speaking coun¬ tries. To look at Eddie you can hardly be¬ lieve that he was in the best drilled company last j ' ear. But after all this, the Command¬ ant did not see fit to give him a rank, so he was cast into the flames of the Artillery Corps. W. F. RANGOON,..................Dallas. Civil Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Co. “L”; Pres. Dallas Club; Vice-Pres. Senior Ciass; 3d Battalion Foot¬ ball ’10; “B” Co. Football ’08-09; “B” Co. Baseball ’09-10; Ross Volunteer. “Sol.” This lad from the waterless city had not been on the campus many days before he be¬ gan to show traces of wisdom that caused one to think of him as a second “man with the many wives.” Hence his name of Sol, and in this he was not misnamed, for the only questionable act he has as yet committed is that of choosing Rip Lauderdale for a tent- mate. He is a Ward in company athletics, stands high in classes, and On account of superior military training under that glori¬ ous Warden, was not exiled to the Siberian Artillery. JOE CYRUS LAUDERDALE,...Somerville. Civil Engineering. 1st Lieutenant Co. “L”; R. V.; Swastika; Veterans of Lost Cause; Sergeant Co. “B”; “A” Co. Football; Gun Club. “Rip,” The Somerville Charmer.” The creosoted air of Somerville must have had an ill effect on Rip, for an attack of insomnia would be a blessing in disguise to him. Pie came here asleep and asleep he has remained until only a few days ago, when some “guys” hurrahed him and ate his “candy heart.” He has worn a beaten path from his tent down to Cawson’s and for a short time had his trunk on the porch ready to move in. DON LEE,......................San Angelo. Civil Engineering. Field Battery; Sergt. Co. “C”; Swastika; Press Club; B. and B. Club; Pres, of San Angelo Club; Rifle Club; Y. M. C. A.; P. H. Tennis Assoc,au u n. Don Lee is the proud posessor of a full- dress suit, in which he is often mistaken for Prof. Potts. Because of this embarrassing re¬ semblance, Prof. Potts tried to change Don’s physiognomy. Don Lee is a self-made charm¬ er, and is a splendid example of what a deter¬ mined young man can do with himself along this line without the least assistance from Dame Nature. Don is taking the Civil Engin¬ eering course at this College as a prerequisite to the Texas Club at Cornell University. Look out for the big Elk! HENRY LOUWEIN, Jr., ..........Bellville.

Some one has said that Hy is a scion of nobility, but this is a mistake, notwithstanding the fact that he is often found at the King’s residence. His Dutch military ligure changed crimson chev¬ rons to epaulets of gold. Hy has spent many days in the E. E. office, but this hasn’t pre¬ vented his shunting voltmeters and connect¬ ing ammeters across generator terminals. The opening of circuit-breakers is music to his ears. E. E. McADAMS,....................Bedias. Civil Engineering. Capt. Co. “G”; First Sergt. Co. “G”; Corp. Co. “G”; B. and B. Club; Member of Turn- verein; Vice-President Y. M. C. A.; Finance Committee of Junior Banquet; R. V. “Mac.” Most of Mac’s first year in College was spent in his wardrobe or any other place which afforded concealment from the Soph¬ omores. Since then, however, he has been very prominent in Y. M. C. A., and military circles especially. Spends most of his time writing letters to Sam Houston Normal. Earned the sobriquet “Grafter” on the Hous¬ ton trin. when, as a member of the firm of Goforth McAdams,” he relieved a num¬ ber of the corps of their superfluous cash and left nothing to show for it. His greatest achievement was the acquisition of a Prairie View pennant during the holidays. ' v . ERNEST McANNELEY,........ .Devine. Architeclurai Engineering.

M. C. A. Devotional Committee. ' • ' Me.” Every class must have its genius. In this one of ours, Me undoubtedly deserves the dis¬ tinction ; for, before he became of age, he was granted a patent on an adjustable drafting table which he has been successful in intro¬ ducing in every section of his native State, Texas. Mc’s model of all great American men is Edison. While he may never attain the greatness of this American wizard, still, we predict great things from his brain, so fertile in original ideas. But that which most distinguishes the sub¬ ject of our article from all other members of the Corps is the fact that he is the only married man in the Texas A. M. College student body. MILLER McGRAW,.................Dallas. Mechanical Engineering. Second Lieutenant Company “H”; Secre¬ tary Dallas Club; M. E. Society; B. and B. Club; Veterans of Lost Cause; Y. M. C. A. ‘ ' Mac.” Dallas demonstrated the fact that it is a ’Varsity town when it unloaded Mac on A. M. Although of a rather serene disposition, when a “fish,” Mac developed into a strict dis¬ ciplinarian as ranks were showered upon him. He asserted his authority as a “non-com” by ramming the participants of a domino game in which he was not allowed to have a hand, and as a trusty lieutenant he rules with an iron hand on Tent Row. When in trouble, his favorite yells are: “I Will Call Chas. Sand- ford !” and “Oh, Professor! I Get All Balled Up.” L. McMAHAN,....................Whitney. Electrical Engineering. Major 3d Battalion; A. I. E. E. ; Vice-Pres. B. and B. Club; Corp. Co. “E”; 1st Sergt Co. “E”; Ross Volunteers; Capt. “E” Co. Football Team ’09 and ’10: Decoration Com¬ mittee R. V.; Decoration Committee Thanks¬ giving Hop To-n; Y. M. C. A.; Students’ Council. “Sleepy.” At present McAnnelly is the only victim of sweet little old Cupid, but indications are an¬ other Mac will share honors with him soon— provided, of course, the postal clerks don’t strike. Mack is carrying a heavy course in E. E. and about twenty in S. N. O O. Z. E. but when the time of reckoning comes, old Sleepy always hands out the packages. J. P. McCONNELL,..............San Saba. Civil Engineering. Field Battery; Sergeant Co “B”; Co. “B ' Football. “P0Si;V.” Posey, unlike the average C. E., is not sat¬ isfied with snatching As from Potts and Jim¬ mie and playing bridge and juggling “S equals Me” with D. W. S., but carries on practical work in his course aside from the regular class work and practice. Flis most notable work of this kind was researches as to the effect of “impact” on cattleguards between Bryan and College Station, and these tests resulted in so much damage to the cattleguards that Posey had a great deal of trouble clearing himself with the railroad company. This otherwise ideal young engineer has one bad habit, which, if not overcome, may re¬ sult in the disastrous ending of his brilliantly started career, and that is his habit of losing things. Posey lost a year at College, lost six ty straights to Frazier, often loses part of his uniform, especially his cap, and it is re¬ ported that once Ee IdSt himself and caused his friends much trouble and anxiety. Bu Posey is a good loser, and he will tell you, “I’m dead broke and lost my cap, but I’ve had a good time. LUTHER B. McMILLAN,....... Mechanica! Engineering. Second Lieutenant Co. “B”; President Bra¬ zoria County Club; Vice-President Milner De¬ bating Club; Mechanical Engineering Society; Member A. M. College Rifle Club; Veterans of the Lost Cause; Track Team. Steno Kid.” The Steno Kid is one of the few really mil¬ itary “second-addishes ’ He impersonated Moreau when he appeared at Reveille last fall, tangled up with his saber. He is a charmer along a reduced scale. A man with¬ out conscientious scruples would say that Steno is a wise guinea. C. E. MARIS,......................Franklin. Electrical Engineering. Swastika; R. V.; B. and B. Club; Battal¬ ion; Turnverein; East Texas Club; Medal •-Winner R. V.; A. I. E. E.; 2d Lieutenant Co. “K.” “Transom Kid.” Maris must be interested in railroading, for he will often cut a class to meet a train. Early association with such as Jobson seems to have stunted his intellectual development along some lines. Nevertheless, he has de¬ signed and installed a mammoth telephone sys¬ tem for his home town, notwithstanding the fact that he has never peeped inside the cover of a book on telephony. As a “fish,” he made his debut on the dance floor, and is still striv¬ ing for social prominence. He has our sympathy. nchor. Groesbeck. S. H. MARKS,................. Textile Engineering. Veterans of Rost Cause; Artillery Corps; Second Lieutenant Co. “B”; Turnverein; B. and B. Club; President Ca C03 Club. Marks.” Marks is often mistaken for a Jew, but this is a grave mistake, for a Jew always uses an x in nis name. Markes came here with good intentions, and by hard work has placed him¬ self in John Carroll’s class in his studies. He has good policeman feet, gained renown as a guard during his lish” year and is one of the Hebrew Children who was snatched from the fiery flames of the Artillery Corps and given a saber-carrying job in Co. “B.” CHARLES ALBERT MARTIN,.....Mason. Agriculture. Scientific Agricultural Society; Veterans of Lost Cause; “A” Co. Baseball; “E” Co. Base¬ ball ; B. and B. Club. Little Pike.” The name “Pike” was inherited by Charles, an elder brother of his having borne that title before him. Generally Pike has not very much to say, but when it comes to bug-hunt¬ ing, he can out-talk anyone except Morris and Montemayor. Unlike Jennings, he has never aspired to military honors. Pike has certain little words which, like Shakespeare, he repeats on various occasions. He is often heard using them when he is— pleased. He also has others which he uses when he is sne aking of the Artillery, an or¬ ganization of which he is not very proud. Q ' i the subject of Artillery discipline he begs to differ with the Bull. SETH HERMAN MARTIN,........Mason. Agriculture. Scientific Agricultural Society; Veterans of Lost Cause; Two-year Course in Agriculture 190 -1909; Senior Private Co. “E.” Big Pike.” Seth H. Martin, better known as “Big Pike,” Inuded at A. M. with the 1907 importation from Mason, Texas, the place that supplies A. M. with Kraut bug-hunters. The Sec- retary has never been able to tell whether Pike is a “fish” or a post-graduate. Pike re¬ ceived a bug-hunting lambskin in ’09, but re¬ turned and entered the rolls for a sheepskin. The Bull assigned Pike to some company, but he has forgotten which one. Pike is a ereat military genius scientifically, but prac¬ tically he can’t tell one command from another. THOMAS PRYSE METCALFE,.. .Pearsal ' . Animal Husbandry. Field Battery; Y. M. C. A.; Scientific Agri¬ cultural Association; Gun Club. Dean.” Dean is a native of Southwest Texas, and came to the College as a Sophomore fish” to learn, and now actually believes he can raise fine cattle on rocks and prickly pear. He spends his vacations tearing up the brush around Pearsall, and planning to grow large crops of cane, etc., without rain. Unlike Fa- bius, this farmer refused to leave his plow for military glory, and passed up a coiporalship and a scrgeantship. MELVIN J. MILLER,.........Farmersvil ' .e.

Grandma.” This military prodigy with the football hair¬ cut would add another principle of strategy to those offered by Captain Sargent. Accord¬ ing to Grandma, the ninth one should be: “Al¬ ways send a regiment of artillery ahead of the main column for scouting purposes.” His ability as a warrior was demonstrated by his laceration of a certain now captain shortly af¬ ter his entrance here, and even in his Senior year he is a warrior—pigskin. Truly he is entitled to a Henderson-Ames pigskin belt. R. R. MONTEMAYOR,.................. ..........C. Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Agriculture.

Monte” or “Rudiciendo.” Monte belongs to, that high-standing firm of bug-hunters known as Morris Company. Monte never has had or wanted a commission, but once showed his adaptability for one by offering to “Rahm dat Pot Smith for his mon¬ key business.” After finishing here, he con¬ templates going in for fruit-raising at Scotts- ville, for it is reported that he is A No. i in that district. CARLYLE BENTON MOORE,.......... ............................Van Alstyne. Animal Husbandry. Second Lieutenant Co. “E”; “A” Co. Base¬ ball Team; Y. M. C. A.; R. V.; Scientific Agricultural Association; Veterans of Lost Cause. - ' Dolly. As a Freshman his meekness earned him the prefix Dolly,” but later associations with Cot¬ ton Davis and his crowd have caused this once docile youth to develop into a valiant lieutenant who delights in dealing out streaks of dark blue terror to his subordinates of Co. “E.” As it is with all other bug-hunters, Dol¬ ly has made a success, and is of that particular kind that will make good in any position. His honest and whole-souled nature has won for him the friendship of all. SCOTT MOORE,....................Brady. Agriculture. Reg. Captain and Quartermaster; Manager Football Team; Captain Baseball Team; Color Sergeant; Ross Volunteers; College Baseball Tieam; Secretary- Treasi Students’ Associa¬ tion ; Student Representative to Athletic Coun¬ cil ; Vice-President “T” Association; Cadet Postmaster; Chairman Finance Committee Fi¬ nal Ball; Chairman Program Committee Thanksgiving flop; Athletic Editor Long Horn. Gentlemen, what remains to be said of a man who possesses a pedigree such as the above? Yet there remains the story of “The Lost Saber” and the chorus-girl episode en¬ acted within the sacred walls of the Chapel. Scott says the latter will probably be the cause of his canceling his contract with McGraw and his leading a more serious life. CHARNER C. MORRIS,........Henderson. Animal Husbandry. Field Battery; President Scientific. Agri¬ cultural Association; A. L. Society; Chicago Stock-judging Team. “Senator.” Being a bug-hunter offers excuse for many things; so it must be with this “wise old man of the East” (Texas). Senator drew his sobriquet from his countenance, but in this no one was fooled but himself. Realizing the condition of affairs here, Senator has earnestly endeavored to inaugurate reforms, but somehow he has been unsuccessful. He became dissatisfied, left his trunk here, and spends his days in travel, returning occasion¬ ally to gather laundry. O. L. MORfrON, ................. Angleton. Mechanical Engineering. M. E. Society; Veterans of Lost Cause; Artillery Corps; Brazoria County Club. “Morton.” Merton has been here for several decades, and during the last two years has quit asso¬ ciating with mere students and has gone to The Shirley, where he can hobnob with such illustrious men as Capt. Kidd, Follett, and Skeeler. ERNEST FREDERICK MOSER.....Dallas. Agriculture. 2d Lieutenant Co. “I”; Scientific Agricul¬ tural Association; Treasurer) Dallas Club; Co. “B” Baseball Team; Sergeant Co. “B”; Ft. Worth Stock-judging Team 1909. “Ikey ’ “Motzer,” “Sheeny,” “Jew.” Ernest hails from Dallas, which is, accord¬ ing to him, the only city in the State. Went barefooted as a boy and new wears No. 10s as a Senior. While a “fish” he was an occu¬ pant of Bat Roost, and was deeply in love with a Miss Hatzenbuela of his home town. Is a bug-hunter and specializes in dairying. His present ambition is to invent a churn which will make two pounds of butter ou of one quart of milk. It has often been said that he “sells them for less,” but the only pos¬ itive proof ever advanced is the Hebrew ac¬ cent to his features. JOHN MARION NAGLE,..........Austin. Civil Engineering. Allen Academy Club; Capital City Club; 2d Lieutenant Co. “C.” “Little Jimmy.’’ ’ Little Jimmy, not the book “Little Jimmy,” has one of those inseperab’e qualities which usually appeals to the opposite sex,—curly hair. This bright and kinky stuff covers some of the most powerful gray matter in the world; for it covers the brain of a man with an iron will, really a blacksmithing brain. Jimmy has been taking Blacksmithing since the day of his entrance here, and loves it so well that he wants to take fifth-year work in it. He must have lost an anvil or a pair of tongs while off at Dallas, for he seemed very much worried after his return here. ALLEN HUDDLESTON NEIGHBORS,.. ................................Shiner. Architectural Engineering. 2d Lieutenant Field Battery; President Senior Class; Vice-Pres. Gonzales County Club; Member Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Stu¬ dents’ Council. “Brother.” Brother is an A. E. of the “Harrison-Mc- Anelly” calibre. Some of his admirers call him “Hardface,” but you can see from his likeness that this is a grave mistake. Brother would make a good president if Julian Thomas would quit putting parliamentary rules to him, thereby causing him to turn the meetings over to the Class as an escape during the excite¬ ment. We are afraid that he will turn one of our meetings over to the Freshmen, and then we will be in a helluva fix. Brother has an appetite like a concrete-mixer. If he had as many tentacles as an octopus, he would die happy. J. S. NETHER WOOD,...........Galveston. Mechanical Engineering. R. V.; Secty. Galveston Club; Member M. E. Society; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Gun Club. “Pike.” “Slam! Bang! Ouch! Look out!” No, not a cyclone, but only Pike drifting over to ask in his quiet modest way if you have got “Ther¬ mo,” and clearing the table and whatever fur¬ niture may be in the room all at one leap. Pike has followed closely in the footsteps of his estimable bud, “Pike, Sr.,” who gave us a quaking in the knees when we were “fish.” Also Pike vigorously denies being an Englishman. He is a homogeneous mass of fun, laughter and good-fellowship, with a noodle particularly adapted to M. E., and we predict for him a great future. LEE DECATUR PARKS,........De Leon. Civil Engineering Veterans of Lost Cause; Artillery Corps; Fish Ternis Club ’08; North Texas Club; Gun Club. “Decatur.” Decatur was named for a famous sea cap¬ tain, of whom he is the antithesis in military inclination. He was one of the boys to win honorable mention in the Dallas parade—in fact, he has been mentioned at the Faculty meetings ever since, whenever he missed a recitation. He sojourned a few weeks in Bry¬ an, during which time he broke into society and has been broke ever since. He and Kraut took all the Epizootics and refused to asso¬ ciate with ordinary cadets for several weeks; they became “cliff-dwellers.” Thornton. R. B. PEARCE,............. Civil Engineering. Capt. Co. ‘‘C”; C” Co. Football Team; Sergt. Co. “C.” “Fatty,” “Doc.” Fatty is a roly-poly round-faced, brown¬ eyed piece of good nature. He is popular with the Corps, Faculty, and ladies. Has al¬ ways shown prodigious ability as a student, and is reported as having a massive intellect, which, however, he seldom uses to its full ex¬ tent. Is a rival of Pee Wee in Math., and claims kin to Potts (a fact which the latter strenuously denied on being interviewed by a reporter). When a “fish” he said his only am¬ bition was to be called “Papa.” F. S. PETER,................San Antonio. Electrical Engineering. 1 st Lieutenant Co. “G”; Associate Editor Long Horn; Pres.

Baseball; Battalion Siaff. “Pete.” Though small in every dimension, Pete is somewhat of a renowned athlete. His wheat straw face has appeared several times in The Sporting News, Spalding’s Guide places him in the Joe Gars class (a dead “has been”), and in the recent issue of Fatima hand-books his silhouette was used as a frontispiece. ’Tis said that he organized the Turnverein, a band of mighty athletes, in order to get a design for his sweater. Pete is a patron of the American Alfalfa Company, even in his dreams, when he has been heard to say: “Ten sacks of Bull, two books of wheat- straws and a box of matches.” G. PICKETT,.................Karnes City. Mechanical Engineering. Veterans of Lost Cause; Gun Club; Artil¬ lery Corps. “Guy,” “Cokey.” Guy is a quiet, unassuming lad, who never speaks ti ' l he is spoken to. He came from the jung’es around. Karnes City, and we have never been able to figure out why he is not dangerous. Although Guy makes good grades in everything, he specializes in Chem. and Math. The only thing we can find against him is that he rooms with Dick Carey, and once read a letter during Retreat after having been ordered not to do so by a despotic artillery officer. If College Station were in Russia, this Guy would in all probability be a bomb- thrower. Clifton. H. M. POOL,,................. Civil Engineering. Colonel of Regiment; Pres Y. M. C. A.; Pres. Students’ Association; Pres. Battalion Football Teams; Manager of Baseball Team; Athletic Council; Y. M. C. A. Building Com¬ mittee ; Chairman Senior Ring Committee; Ross Volunteers; Reg. Sergeant-Major ’09-10. “Herbert.” Herbert came here from a Norwegian set¬ tlement up in the Bosque Hills, but from the tenor of the tunes he brings out of his an¬ cient Stradivarius, he must certainly be a Scotchman. Like the commanders-in-chief before him, he possesses all the titles worth having, but in other respects he has charac¬ teristics all his own. Ward, in giving a com¬ mand, sounded like some senator belching forth, while Pool sounds like or reminds one of the sounds heard just about dusk in the country, when the cows are being brought in from the pasture. Ward had trouble with his feet, but Pool wears goloshes and is never troubled with his pedals. A. PI. POTTHAST,...............Weimar. Civil Engineering. Captain Co. “H”; 1st Sergt. Co. “H”; Swas¬ tika: R. V.; B. and B. Club; Y. M. C. A. “Pot.” Do you recognize the map of Amsterdam opposite these words. This is the only real specimen of the wooden-shoe variety that will be handed out to the public by A. M. this year. Pie hails from New Germany or Wei¬ mar, and landed here with pretzels in his ears. The pretzels have worn off, but he still brings out his pink shirt and rubber collars for charming purposes, as he has acquired that art on Quality Row ' . He is captain and Kai¬ ser of Co. “PI,” and there has been much complaint from that quarter about foreign despotism. D. M. PUCKETT,....................Buda. Civil Engineering. Field Battery; Sergeant “A” Co.; Corpo¬ ral Co. “A”; Capital City Club; Member “T” Association; ’ro Baseball Team; Co. “A” Baseball ’oS: Co. “A” Football Squad; Plays- Caldwell County Club. “Boxes,” “Concrete.” Bones Puckett heard of Ins big brother’s ex¬ ploits at A. M. and determined to follow in his footsteps, else he would not have come. Bones s ubmitted an essay on James Hayes Quarles to the English Department last year, and was reduced to the ranks forthwith. Concrete attended a Sunday-school function at Austin once, and shocked the society of that quiet village by flirting with a fifty-five- year-old chaperon. Bones is an elder brother of “Squirrel” Puckett, a promising “fish.” Bones’ wild throws to third probably will b ' the cause of Charlie Moran’s missing Heaven. SAM H. RAY, Falfurrias. Agriculture. Captain Co. ‘‘E’’; Y. M. C. A.; Scientific Agricultural Association: Manager Co. Football ’09; G. H. B. C.; “F” Co. TennF Club; Belt and Buckle Club; Chicago Stock- judging Team. Sam came from a little place called Fal¬ furrias, so far south in Texas that you can ' t distinguish it from Mexico. He says it is a great agricultural country, its principal prod¬ ucts being prickly pear, mescal, and Mexicans. Mescal is a drink popular among the natives, a few drops of which will make one crazy drunk. From all indications Sam got some of it. He has recovered from the drunk. but- Sam went to Dallas last fall to judge cattle, but incidentally he fell in love with a young school-teacher (twenty-seven years old) and could hardly be persuaded that he should return to College and gradu¬ ate before going upon the sea of matrimony. GEORGE W. ROBINSON,...........Bryan. Electrical Engineering Chief Trumpeter; A. I. E. E.; Ordnance Officer. Hall-Room George. ' ' ’ This caramel-eater pestered the photograph¬ er with twenty-seven sittings before he real¬ ized that he needed a new face. Fie was born in sight of Bryan and wears the Brazos Coun¬ ty expression, which has been painted with many a coat of Artesia Cream. When he walks, his legs are out of phase with each other, this being probably caused by the im¬ pedance of his ankles. He is a big E. E. and has advanced some theories on electric¬ ity that have stumped Edison. In all, we pre¬ dict for him a great future on some Bra¬ zos bottom farm. ASA J. ROBBINS,............Smith’s Point. Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering Society; East Tex¬ as Club; Beaumont Club; Veterans of Lost Cause; Artillery Corps. Asa John.” Asa John, better known as “Pedigree,” won O. E. Gammill’s bird and the admiration of the speed maniacs last summer when he ran a motor car from College to Bryan, a distance of six miles, in twenty-five minutes. He set a rate that succeeding motorists have been unable to duplicate and now has a pass for life on the College-Bryan Inter-Ruben. E. W. RjUDEOFE,...................Sealy. Electrical Engineering.

He holds the State record in -? He lives on cigarettes, sweet milk, and crackers. He is the class merit and philosopher. There was never a day when Ruddie was not pre¬ pared for lessons, and he never was known to flunk. He is Pfcuffer Flail’s stenographer and musician. He had rather hammer on a typewriter than eat.

He is a tyrannical rul¬ er and likened himself unto Nero when, midst the leading bovine fanciers of his kingdom, he sat in his palace and watched the burning of a “fish’s” tent For four years he has been leading-man in the “Shiner Twins?’—i. e., Sandford and Neighbors, the funny-faced men. While he has wrought great destruction on “fish,” cigarette fiends and hell-raisers in gen¬ eral, his social career has been even more calamitous. During the four years which he has been a shining light in College society, many bewitching eyes have tried to bewitch him and many charming mouths to charm him—but, woe unto these designing they did not know the he too was a and that “though he fly to Astombol, Shiner holds his heart and soul.” maidens, charmer !

Augustine.” Like many other illustrious personages, Augustine claims no great city as his birth¬ place. Unlike his famous brother Chesty, his chest does not display itself, neither do his cold eyes flash, but he has the head of a Web¬ ster and the hand of a Raphael. Why should the Fates decree that such a man should be a companion of John Baade and a “Mother Carey’s chicken”? LEON CHARLES SCHWAB,.......Cuero.

V. “Porter,” “Berlin.” There is a great deal of mystery about this subject. His origin is a mystery, for he has the characteristics of a Greek, Roman, German and Swede; it is a mystery why he was ever cast off as an officer upon the 3d Battalion ; it is a mystery how he has managed to stand K. Trigg as a roommate for more than one year and why a C. I. A. fem. should waste stamps on Porter and H. P. Brown. He has other mysteries aplenty, but the fact that he is from Cuero helps solve these. We can see nothing ahead of Porter but a 240-pound bet¬ ter half and an insignificant career as a goo¬ ber-raiser. JAMES B. SHAW,..............San Diego. Electrical Engineering. 1st Lieutenant Co. “C”; A. I. E. E.; B. and B. Club; “C” Co. Baseball and Football; Capt. 1st Battalion Football. “Jimmie.” This hot tamale from San Diego is an old pioneer of Co. “C.” From early association with Horace Boyett, Jim’s windage losses have greatly increased and the two have held the canine chained in their room for the past two years. He came to take E. E., but E. E. didn’t take to Jim, so he had a narrow escape from the Lula Ehlinger route. Like T. Bear Christian. Jim had bad eyes and couldn’t go to Tent Row. 1 EUGENE V.

Club. “Eugene.” It may be truly said of Eugene that he is a veteran, both in time of peace and in time of war—for it is said he is married. But reflections bring to mind what college life can do for a young man. Hailing from the wild West, he brings with him the proper ideals, and a full determination to do things. Nothing has ever crossed his path that was too difficult. Indeed, he is an all-round cadet. He is studious, while at the same time he has done a great deal in athletics. And it must be remembered that even Bryan Society does not bar him. But of course Eugene’s great¬ est renown was won as captain of “I” or (my) Company. WILLIAM WOFFORD SPENCER. .Athens. Mechanical Engineering. M. E. Society; West End Tennis Club; Band. “Slim -’ “Woos.” Woos (Fish Spence at first) originated in a hardware store in Athens, Tex. He is a greater success as a musician that as an M. E., but has ordered the latter title put on his diploma. Procrastination is his favorite amusement. He has never been in love, but it is rumored that he became greatly en¬ amored with a fair maiden in Van Alstyne this summer while out with the Agricultural train. He rooms with Boiler-Maker Brown, and is often seen in the company of Lena Snearly. He and Lena form the Fourth Bat¬ talion. There.- is not enough space on the par¬ ade-ground for this extra battalion, hence it is forced to “march” to the Mess Hall ahead of the Regiment. E. SUMMERS,.................San Angelo. Civil Engineering. Sergeant Field Battery; Veterans of Lost Cause; San Angelo Club. “Egil.” Egil came direct from a sheep ranch in Tom Green County to take the course in Civil En¬ gineering. He likes the campus atmosphere so well, or dislikes sheep-herding so heart¬ ily, that he has returned home but once since he matriculated as a “fish.” Egil looks like Abraham Lincoln, but thinks the coon should never have been emancipated. Summers had the difficult task this year of unlocking the big gate on the campus driveway every morning. MOUNT TAYLOR,............Mt. Vernon. Electrical Engineering. Sergt. Co. “B”; A. I. E. E.; ist Lieut. Co. “B”; Gun Club. Mount. No wonder Mount is such a great electri¬ cian, for he is a product of the county bear¬ ing the name of Franklin. He has done a great many things during his college career, but probably the best he has done has been to show Grupe how to run the steam plant. Mount was a very quiet lad before the Bull gave him his commission, but now he is a high-flyer in “Near Bryan” society, and dur¬ ing the holidays even went to the extremity of infesting a house party. His family need have no fear for its maintenance, as he is a grafter of the first water. LABAN H. TERRY,..............Mesquite. Chemical Engineering. Dallas Club; Sergeant Co. “F”; Chemis¬ try Societv; Gun Club; 2d Lieutenant Co. “G.” Grandpa.” And Laban said, “I am a follower of Blake.” Grandpa came to A. M. for the purpose of training himself to be a chemical engineer. On landing at College, he immediately came in contact with Rusty Brvan the two unit¬ ing to form a “Blake-ion.” Grandpa is noted for receiving letters from girls whom he has never seen or heard of before. Some one of them must have cast Laban down recently, for he went into Bryan a few days after his return from the holidays and spent an entire evening drinking hot chocolate and playing pool, trying, in a way, to get even with himself.

Matador.” Matador Thalmann, the only cadet who has waved a red rag in the Bull’s face and lived, comes from the bounding West, here men grow. He will have been in College five years next June, and has lost some of his fron¬ tier characteristics. Next after Fermier. Mat¬ ador thinks he would prefer to resemble Grupe. Thalmann is a mathematician of no little note, having led his section in Practi¬ cal Mathematics, After graduation, Mat prob- ably will marry and settle down. L. O. THAN REISER,................Scaly. Electrical Engineering. Sergeant Artillery Corps; A. I. E. E.; Belt and Buckle Club; Clerk Co. “G”; Veterans of Lest Cause. “Leo.,” “Tank.:” Leo, also known as Tank, hails from Sealy —yes, it is on the map. During his “fish” year Leo was translator of German to the “Old Boys” of “C” Co. His “Theory of Electric Gas” will make Leo a famous man some day. The “G” Co. flunkship made Leo so unmil¬ itary that the Bull gave him a sergeantship in the Artillery Corps. From all appearances. Tank seems empty when it comes to classes, but he always manages to pull the Profs, for a good one on exams. J. B. THOMAS,...........Greenville, Texas. Mechanical Engineering. Artillery Corps; Pres. Greenville Club; Vice-Pres. Gr.n Club; M. E. Society. “Julian.” As a juggler of English he has the world beat. Can pour out a torrent of long, alliter¬ ative, high-sounding sentences without an ef¬ fort. Has won considerable fame as an orator and at Class meeting he insists on holding the President to the strictest Parliamentary rules. Is much in demand at meek trials and holds several medals won in the Bull Pen. He is considered a very bright boy for an M. E. Thinks he is about the wittiest boy in College, but is really the funniest. Would have been a lieutenant had it not been for the fact that left-handed sabers are not manufactured. D. PI. B. TODD,.................Flainview. Electrical Engineering. Panhandle Club; “D” Co. Football Team; First Battalion Football Team; V. L. C.; Second Lieut. “D” Co. “Dougal.” Douglas, Hector, Baxter. Reynolds, Scott and McDougal are a few of his given names, and had there not been other children in the family, he would have had more. His only claim to distinction is based on the fact that he passed a civil service examination for as¬ sistant to the assistant to the Plainview Post¬ master about five years ago. He tried for the Glee Club this year, but failed by several lengths. 1 W. W. iTRICKEY,.................Sanger. Civil Engineering. Second Lieutenant Co. “I”; President Den ton County Club. ' ■ ' Blonde ’ Trickey had a narrow escape from the ranks of the Artillery Corps this year. Company “I” needed a second lieutenant and the Bull found an extra saber and girded it on Trick- ey’s loins. Too, “I” Company’s captain is red¬ headed, and in promoting Trickey the color scheme was well observed. K. M. 1 RIGG, Jr. ...................Bastrop.

Agricultural Association; Finance Committee ’09 Thanksgiving Hop; Yell Leader To; Y. M. C. A. Clown.” The only original country clown. He en¬ tered the College a clown and a clown he leaves the College. When he was a “fish,” somebody prodded him about his rare intel¬ lectual endowments; he took them seriously, and to-day considers himself a second Dar¬ win. He has theories and ideas galore, but it was only till he was in this Sen¬ ior year that he learned what to call an organ stop. By a serious misunderstand¬ ing, he was elected yell leader, and ever after considered himself a puDUc speaker. He has made seventeen announcements in the Mess Hall, and nobody knows yet what he wanted. He made a speech i:i the Chapel one night for megaphone money, ■and considers his soeech should rank with Bryan’s “Cross of Gold.” R. R. WALKER,....................Trin’ty. E lectrical Eng in eering.

He is the only Sen¬ ior who has asserted his manhood and has worn non-regulation .shirts and tan shoes, claiming that the regulation clothes do not match his complexion. Every club of which he was an active member has been suppressed by the Faculty—even the Belt and Buckle Club, which had divine origin. ' V 4 V V ' ■ i GEORGE M WELBORN,........Palestine.

Good-Booking.” “Good-looking,” as he would have it, is one of the few members of the class whose father is holding a job down for his son while his son is at College. When George goes out in¬ to society, his raiment is like the rainbow, his pants are above his knees, and he has the air of a heart-breaker, but no pieces have been found at any place he ever visited. His spe¬ cialties are pink and baby blue stocks, and any one who can show as variegated an assort¬ ment of colored hose as George can will have to go some. When he puts on his black tur¬ tle-neck sweater, he looks like Coy, but the best he has ever done in athletics is to appear, for one performance only, in a track suit. W. W.

He will overcome his looks in time and may make a famous A. E. He takes Pal for his ideal and never v ' em from the path he is following. He is the cn’y A.

He says that the pleasures he has derived from his shoulder-straps have paid him a thousand fold for his making a first-class Co. Flunk. R. B. is a hard worker, has an ami¬ able disposition and will succeed at anything he undertakes. His latest invention is the “Bi-leg device” for defective walkers. The lieutenant’s originality in giving commands is shown by the command given to the “fish” at Reveille, when all of them started off at the command March, failing to take their dis¬ tances properly : “Hey, Fish !

He served three enlistments in the Bugle Corps, a few days as a cannoneer, another short time in the Bugle Corps, and finally, becoming dis¬ gusted with all, decided to return to the ranks of the doeboys. Thus far he holds all rec¬ ords in escaping from the Mess Hall before the companies leave. H. H. WILLIAMSON,.............Bedias.

Navasota and Bryan, however, are his chief exporting cen¬ ters. William has one great aspiration, and that is that he may return to his native home and educate the natives in the art of raising cotton and other agricultural products. Wil¬ liam is one other engineer who was fortu¬ nate enough to realize his mistakes in time. Consequently he changed to “Bug.” How¬ ever, as he wishes to compromise, he is also taking A, E. In former years he took an active part in company football, but since he has received his commission he says he no longer has time for such trifles. CARL L. WILLIFORD,..............Waco.

Speck is a civil engineer taking Fnu ’s course in hot air. Fie thinks the M. E. Course will give him the confidence neces¬ sary for a successful civil engineering career. Speck had some experiences up on the Texas Central in the M. of W. department, and in layi ig out spurs and switches met a little blue- eyed maiden, who has made Speck wear a serious air. Williford is the only man who considered himself qualified to take Stud Ab¬ bey’s place as Buzz Harrison’s roommate. CLAUDE WILSON,...............Florence. Electrical Engineering. Sergt. Co. “A”; Swastika; B. and B. Club; Co. “A” Football; A. I. F. E.; R. V.; 1st Lieutenant Co. “A.” “Puddin-Head.” Wilson, a very quiet, unassuming and well- behaved young man, hails from Florence, not by choice, but will return by choice. His thoughts of the past, present, and future keep him so busy that he has little time for anyth ing else. His spare moments are spents in making his room appear home¬ like, and in this he has been very successful, as will be attested to by some of the fairer sex who have seen the results of his efforts. Has never been known to have been angry, always an easy-going fellow. EDWARD GRFFNLEAF WOOD,....... ..............................Enid, Okla. Civil Engineering.

In reading Edward Greenleaf Wood’s name one would naturally think that Edward’s par¬ ents are admirers of Pinchot’s conservation theory. Wood is one of the best drilled men in the Field Battery. He never misses a for¬ mation. His appearance in the parade at Dal¬ las won much commendation from the Army officers and Confederate Veterans. HOY A. WOODS,................Newton.

With Santa Ford he is one of the old¬ est inhabitants of South End and right well has he upheld the reputation of that famous end, especially the “fish” end.

At last, after four years of hard work and determined effort, the Class of ’n is nearing that goal toawrd which they have been so earnestly striving—Grad¬ uation. It has been a long, hard struggle, but through united effort and perseverance, ever working, ever struggling, through trials and sorrows, we gained the Vic¬ tory; a victory ot which we are justly proud, and in the gaining of which the members of the Class have been drawn closer and closer together and have been welded into a compact of brotherhood which will be strengthened by time, and which death alone can destroy. Looking back to the date of our en¬ trance, it seems barely possible that it has been four years since the Fall of 1907, when we, as Freshmen, two hun¬ dred and sixty strong, made our advent into College life. Our membership was drawn from extensive fields and as would be expected, consisted of boys of varied sizes, talents, dispositions, etc., but all in that one great category—“Fish.” Some were willing, others stubborn, but all were “green.” Through the able tutoring and instruc¬ tion of the lordly Sophomores, and after many a hard knock and sad experience, the greenness began to wear off. We lived and learned. But, in spite of its greenness and inexperience, the class be¬ gan to show its mettle from the very be¬ ginning, taking a prominent part in ath¬ letics and, in fact, every phase of Col¬ lege life. After the first vacation, we returned for our Sophomore year, greatly feeling our importance. We were now “Old Boys” and it was our duty to rule the “fish” and to safely guide them through their days of ignorance. This duty we realized in all its seriousness, and, al¬ though greatly hampered by Faculty rule, we labored industriously in teach¬ ing them the value of humbleness and instructing them in their various duties. We did not, however, forget our real purpose at College and Ju ne brought to close a very sucessful year. At the opening of the following ses¬ sion we found ourselves back in harness for Junior year, that period of transition from youth to manhood. This was in¬ deed a very successful year in every re¬ spect. The Class of Ti contributed three of the best members to the foot¬ ball team that won the championship of the Southwest. This year A. and M. was named as one of the ten distinguish¬ ed military institutions of the United States, which distinction entitled them to 146 THE 1911 appoint one member of the graduating class as a second lieutenant in the United States Army without examination. A marked increase in class spir it was not¬ able during the session. What concerned the class concerned the individual. We returned in the fall of 1910, some¬ what depleted in numbers, but still over one hundred strong and the largest Sen¬ ior Class A. and M ever had. We re¬ turned to find a new military organiza¬ tion in the form of a regiment of three battalions and upon our class was con¬ ferred the honor of commanding A. and M.’s first regiment. The enrollment this year passed the thousand mark, making A. and M. the largest military school in the world. On November 14th, one thousand students, under the leadership of the Senior Class, journeyed to Hous¬ ton to see our team of youngsters de¬ feat the yellow and white veterans in the cleanest and hardest fought game ever seen in the State of Texas. Now that the struggle is over, there arises within us a tender feeling for that dear old school where we have spent four of the pleasantest and most profit¬ able years of our life; so, therefore, let us go forth into the battle of life, com¬ pared to which our College life has been but a preliminary skirmish, as true, hon¬ est, and stalwart men, whose aim and purpose it shall be to make a mark in the great world, not only for ourselves, but also to bring honor and glory to the institution which has conferred upon us one of the world’s greatest gifts—an education. During the many years to come our thoughts will often revert to our many classmates who have become so dear to our memory, and let not any member of the Class of Ti forget the ties of broth¬ erhood that bind us together. And, above all, let us work and strive to make a mark in this world of which the Class of Ti will be proud. M 7 in iHmoriam. rfatrt Mtlami Walker, QUasa of 1911 . ISnrn Nmirmbpr 12, 1BB3.

It was just three years ago that the members ox the Class of ’12 nrst saw tne light of day at A. and M. College. At that time we were a green bunch—as green as only “fish” can be. When we visited the Hotel de Sbisa for the first time we could not imagine just what kind of a place we had run up against—and really we haven’t fully decided yet—for what person not an A. and M. cadet has ever heard of human beings eating such things as “rocks, sand, sawdust, shotgun, winchester,” and the like? Well, it didn’t take us long to learn what these and many other things known only to A. and M. cadets meant. By the time we had been here a few weeks, and had been paid numerous vis¬ its by the beloved Sophomores, we began thinking that “fish” life at A. and M. was—well, what General Sherman said of war. However the longer we stayed here the better we liked it, and when we returned as Sophomores we tried to keep any of the new “fish” from getting lone¬ ly and homesick as we used to do. Just how well we carried out this plan can be found out from the Class of ’13. As Sophomores we thought, as all oth¬ er such misguided creatures, that we were the whole show. We thought that all other cadets, from Senior to “frog,” should bow down to us. To the ever¬ lasting glory of the Class of ’12, how¬ ever, it did not take us long to get that idea out of our heads and to begin look¬ ing forward to something that would cause our Class to go down in history as one of the best of our College. About this time it was learned that the old flag-pole could not be used any longer, and as the College had no money on hand at that time, it began to look like we would have no flag-pole for Com¬ mencement. Now was our chance to do something for our College, and, after notifying Captain Moses of our inten¬ tion to present a steel flag-pole to the College, we set out to raise the money to pay for the pole. This we were able to do by giving a play at the end of school, and on Sunday of Commence¬ ment week we presented the magnificent flag-pole now standing on the Campus to the College. Though we may not have as many “T-men” in our class as have some other classes, yet the Class of ’12 has produced some of the best athletes ever turned out by A. and M. Such men as “Dutch” Hohn, Grissom, Schaedel, McDowell, Johnson, James, and numerous others are men any school would be proud to have on their athletic teams. In com¬ pany athletics we have been well repre¬ sented, and quite a few of the men now wearing company letters are Juniors. In the class-room we have maintained the same high standard of excellence. Last September we entered school with the largest Junior Class in the history of A. and M. Some of those who were here in September are not here now ; others will not be here next year. None but the Creator can tell how manv will be present to answer our last roll - call at A. and M. and receive the diplomas for which we have worked so long. We can only hope that the number not here will be small and that those who re¬ ceive their diplomas as members of the Class of ’12 will, in after years, bring honor and glory to their Class and their Alma Mater. 152 THE 1911 Junior Class Roll.

THE 1911 Sophomore Class History. Since no one person can know all the important happenings that occur during the College year, an historian is at a loss to know just how to write a record that will do justice to the entire class. Then, too, so many things can be said about a class the size and importance of ’13 that, on account of the limited space, they must all be told briefly. To begin at the beginning, the Class of ’13 was originally composed of two hun¬ dred and eighty men. Seventy-six of this number were agricultural students and the remaining two hundred and four were engineers of various kinds. Sad to relate, during their first year at A. and M., these now proud and valiant fel¬ lows had to answer to the hated name of “fish” and obey the domineering will of their upper classmen. However, such conditions have now passed and the mighty Sophomore acknowledges no superior. Much to the surprise of all, when a census of the Class was taken in Sep¬ tember, 1910, it reached the three hun¬ dred mark. The Sophomore Class has been growing rapidly for the past few years, but this is the largest that it has ever been. This increase in size is due to the very large number of “fish” who, on account of their superior high-school training, have been able to pass the ex¬ amination and enter the Sophomore Class. Last year, with the aid of Balenti, Ward, Holiday, and others, the Class of ’13 made an enviable record on the football field. Some of the men who helped to make this record are now gone, but we need no better men on the field than Abbott, Ward, Belle, Dreiss, Loun, Lutrick, and Burleson. These men have taken important parts in football this season and have greatly helped A. and M. to win the championship of the State. Then in the spring, with such veter¬ ans as Abbott, Belle, Simmons, Burle¬ son, Baylor, and Dreiss on the track, we are going to see that A. and M. gets the Southwestern championship. If the Class will continue for the next two years as it has begun, there will graduate from A. and M. in 1913 a bunch of men greater in number and more competent to take up their respect¬ ive callings than any class that has pre¬ ceded them. 160 THE 1911 LOMttORN Sophomore Class Roll.

September 27, 1910, causes one to think of a special sale day in one of the Kress stores. Instead of crowds of wo¬ men, there were hundreds of wild and untamed Fish fighting for a room rather than a certain twenty-five cent piece of bric-a-brac. Something like 500 in num¬ ber they came, big Fish and little Fish; some from the city, others from the farm; some sent, others in quest of knowledge. The usual consideration given by the upper classmen and drill each day of the week soon produced results, and be¬ fore many days had passed, this same bunch of once considered hopeless cases began to show the proper spirit. So fast did they learn that in one short month, to quote the Dallas News, “It was impos¬ sible to distinguish Freshmen from Sen¬ iors.” Perhaps true, but there is un¬ doubtedly room for further improve¬ ment, according to other sources of in¬ formation, especially the Sophs. At the first meeting of the class, class off icers were elected, and a class which promises to be the strongest class in the history of the College was formally or¬ ganized. D. F. Slayton, of Dallas, was elected President, and C. B. Hull, of Houston, Vice-President. The sucess of the 1910 football team was due by no small amount ' to the Freshmen, of whom five were awarded the College letter. Besides these, there were many Freshmen on the scrub team who will bear watching in the future. Having made such a start in athletics, great things are expected of the Fresh¬ men in the spring when the baseball and track teams report for practice. Entering College under the new rules requiring more advanced work, the Class has had a hard pull, but is making good. In fact, the Class of ’14 is by far the strongest Freshman Class, in every way, of any of its predecessors, and is setting a pace which will not be easy for the class which follows to keep abreast of.

Each of the instructors knew that some¬ thing unusual had happened, because of the fact that he had to be called back from home several times that afternoon. He had read and re-read it at least a dozen times since dinner and could al¬ most say is off from memory, even to the extent of putting in words between the lines where he thought they had been omitted. That she loved him was self-evident. Did she not start off by saying “My dear friend,” and end it with “Your sin¬ cere friend”? Several places in the body of the letter she had repeated the clause, “Now, Jack, you know I have always been a friend to you.” He knew she had only put such expressions as “My dear friend ’ and “Your sincere friend” in instead of “My dear darling” and “Your own darl¬ ing” because she thought perhaps the Dean might read all letters before they are delivered. When he started to study that night, on each page he turned over was written this letter, with the phrases “My dear darling” and “Your own darling” writ¬ ten in heavy type and underlined. He read it just before undressing and just after undressing. As a prayer he recited it after he was in bed. He recited it over and over again until he fell asleep and his final trip home was taken. There she stood, the prettiest girl in the world, tall, slender, with auburn hair, and a high forehead. What did it mat¬ ter if her nose was a little too long? Anyone standing directly in front or back of her would never notic this. And those gray eyes, that could look a hole through a piece of hand-hammered steel. were without a doubt the most express¬ ive eyes he had ever seen. How could anyone keep from loving nert And he the fortunate one! This certainly must have been the gift of Providence. As the elevator carried them to the top of ti e observation tower, he compared it to their rise in after-life among his tei- low-beings. He knew with her as a mate he would be bound to rise to the top notch of prosperity, and maybe some day he would be aoie to bit in ihe i-’residen- tial chair. All these things revolved in his mind as she stood by his side, and at times her hand brushed against his sleeve. At the fifth landing the elevator gave a sudden jerk and started down at a rapid pace, too fast for Jack to calculate its velocity by the physics he had studied. Down, down they fell. He could feel her hands pressing upon his arm, and he could hear the soft murmur of her voice as she fell from one side to the other. His only thought was how he would be able to right himself with “Old Saint Peter” for being the cause of her un¬ timely death. It seemed as though the bottom would never be reached, and the voices around seemed to grow louder. Once he felt her give an extra hard pull on his arm, enough to make him lose his balance, and he did not regain it until the bottom was reached with a jar. The belt had jumped the fly-wheel and as it flew around in the air it struck him at each revolution. When he was able to push the debris from his head and look out, he discovered himself on the floor of his room with all of his bed- clothing and bed piled upon him. and a long line of Sonhomores with their belts in their hands leaving the door. FOOTBALL SQUAD, 1910 190 Athletics at A. and M ' i he growth of Athletics at the College in recent years has been wondertui. i oi very many years ago all contests took place on the drill - ground, the football equipment consisted of one pair of cleated shoes which the fullback wore, there was no enclosed held and Athlet¬ ics generally rested on a rather insecure financial basis. Gradually interest in the annual A. and M.-University game increased, more money came into the treasury of tne Atnietic Association ami prospects looked brighter. As the at¬ tendance at tne College increased, mucii larger squads could be picked from and con-equently better teams represented A. and M. It was in 1898 that the first annual football game between A. and M. and Texas University was played. This game and the six games following were won by Texas University, but in 1902 A. and M. was represented by the husk¬ iest aggregation ever gotten together, and it was beef that counted in those days. The game resulted in a victory for A. and M., score 12 to o. For seven years following, A. and M. went down in defeat, but each year they fell fighting tooth and nail like the true A. and M. men they were, and not a whimper was heard from the vanquished warriors. In 1909, however, the worm turned. With Moran and McNulty coaching, A. and M. was represented by the grandest; football team that ever tried a gridiron in Texas. A .lightning - fast back-field, an impregnable line, and a pair of brilliant ends proved too much for our ancient rivals and the latter went down in defeat on a muddy field to the tune of 23 to o. At Austin the University took a decided brace and A. and M. barely won, 5 to o. From now ' on the annual games will be hard fought from start to finish, for, with more than one thousand men to pick from, we will no longer be at a disad¬ vantage and should wdn a majority of our games. Faseball has never attracted as much attention as football, but the A. and M. teams have always been in the running, and, as more interest is being taken in this sport year after year, prospects are bright for still better teams, i ' robably the two best teams produced by A. and M. in recent years were those of 07 and 09. The former, captained by the fam¬ ous “A. and M.” Smith, made a great record both in and outside the State. The 1909 team was a fast and heady ag¬ gregation that finished second among the colleges in Texas. T. C. U. was in first place according to percentage, but refused to play A. and M. It is doubtful if the Christians could have won a series with the Farmers. Track is practically a new sport, as it has not been introduced at the College long enough to be developed to a high long enough to be developed to a high de¬ gree. However, the teams of recent years have made a wonderful showing in spite of lack of coaches and other handicaps. In the weight events especially the husky Farmers have always made great rec¬ ords, rarely losing to any rival. As a rule, the A. and M. teams are weak in the dashes, only one high-class short- distance man having been developed in recent years. Hamilton, wdien in con¬ dition, was a grand 100-yard and 220- yard man. The track team of To was a well-balanced and strong team, but w ere not given a chance to pit their skill against worthy rivals. Basketball was introduced in 1908, but little interest was shown and the sport w ' as soon discontinued. Tennis has been played by the various clubs for several years, but it was not until 1910 that a team represented A. and M. in any inter-collegiate event. The fact that this team won the singles in the tournament at Austin should cause more interest to be shown in the game in the future. Murphy, of last year’s team, was the first man ever awarded a “T” in tennis. While the average A. and M. student cares less for the tame basketball and tennis as compared with the more manly sports football and baseball, it is to be hoped that the former will be fostered and developed more in the future. A review of Athletics at A. and M. would hardly be complete without men¬ tion of some of those loyal men who have made Athletics possible. Head and shoulders above these stands Prof. E. J. Kyle, for many years Presi¬ dent of the Athletic Association. Pie has labored long and earnestly to place Athletics on a firm basis and the prosper¬ ous condition of the Association at pres¬ ent is directly due to his untiring and unselfish efforts. At times those not familiar with the workings of the Asso¬ ciation have criticised him for closeness in money matters, but they were ignorant of the real conditions Careful and con¬ servative management alone could have made Athletics pay for itself, and time after time it has seemed like all efforts must result in failure. Prof. Kyle has always been careful, but at no time has he held back when the comfort and suc¬ cess of the teams depended upon him. Hal Mosely, A. J. Neff, “Dickie” Dean, R. J. Potts, James Cravens, Dr. Kyle, the loyal “Bryan Bunch,” ana scores of others in all parts of Texas, have put forth every effort to make old A. and M. supreme in State Athletics, and their work has not been wasted. With a student body numbering more than one thousand, the most loyal alumni to be found in the world, and the best coaches to be secured anywhere, Ath¬ letics at A. and M. should make rapid strides in the next few years. If the number of students continues to increase at the present rate, and the school is not divided, tnere is no doubt but that A. and M. will in the next few years out¬ class any ether institution in Texas, and will be compelled to go into the South¬ ern Association for her games. In Kyle Field we have the largest and one ot the best equipped athletic fields in the South. It is 600 feet in width, 750 feet in length, contains a large grand¬ stand and two sections of bleachers capable of seating several thousand peo¬ ple, contains a quarter-mile cinder track and an excellent 220-yard straightaway. Underneath the grandstand are dressing- rooms equipped with hot and cold show¬ ers, individual lockers, electric lights, rubbing-boards, and all conveniences. Within the past few years the Athletic Association has bought and paid for this field and all eouipment.

The Association was organized No¬ vember 14, 1907, at the suggestion of Air. Larson (Chicago), then coach of the football and track teams. Its pur¬ pose is to unite with a fraternal bond the various men who have won honor on the athletic field. The entrance fee is $1, and the annual dues thereafter 50 cents. During Commencement each year the “T” Association meets to dis¬ cuss Athletics in general and to devise means by which the different sports may be improved. The meeting is followed by a banquet in the Mess Hall or at The Shirley. A. C. Love, of Beaumont, for several years President of the Association, is one of the most active members and is always present at the annual meetings. J. S. Dean, A. J. Neff, Hal Moseley, and many other former athletes, are active members. 194 Entitled to Wear the “T.” Jo tv Utay (Captain), V. M. KeixEy (Captain). J. Ross P. Dale, I. Daee, C.

As September, 1910, drew near A. and M. supporters began to ask each other that old and important question Wi,ll we beat ’Varsity this year?” Those in posi¬ tion to know what the prospects were did not seem to be very optimistic. Some important “ifs” were standing squarely in the road to victory. If Hooker, the giant tackle, Ward, the brilliant end, Balenti, the peerless half-back, and Rugel, the star full-back, should return, we would expect a winning team. With¬ out these men, only Holm, Barnes, and high-class back-field man was in sight. There was a woeful lack of tried ma¬ terial. Prospects were far from bright. Such was the outlook when, on Sep¬ tember 10th, the training camp at Sea- brook was opened. About forty men were picked to train at Seabrook. These included all the veterans and the most promising of the new men. The Ath¬ letic Association did not feel able to pay expenses for more than thirty men, but sent out letters to forty men, knowing that some of these would not report. Between Work Hours at Seabrook Training Camp. Cretcher, of the perfect fighting machine developed in 1909, would be left as a nucleus for the new team. These three were line men. Not one of the brilliant 1909 ‘‘backs” would return. Balenti was playing professional baseball with Savan¬ nah in the South Atlantic League, Rugel had a good position in a Dallas bank and would not return, while Hamilton, the greatest athlete ever produced by A. and M., had played his four years. Not one All expenses while at Seabrook and the extra railroad fare were paid by the As¬ sociation. The student manager and Bate¬ man left College on the afternoon of September nth, arriving at Seabrook that night. The training squad were guests of the Seabrook Hunting and Fishing Club at Seabrook, and the sur¬ roundings were ideal. The club-house, which contained over sixty rooms, faced the bay and was not more than 50 yards 199 from the water. South of the club¬ house was a large open space covered with grass, furnishing ample room for practice. The players bathed in a deep channel directly in front of the club¬ house. On September 12th, some fourteen or fifteen players reported and others were dropping in until the last of the week. Among those to report early were Barnes, Lambert, Martellero, Abbott, Dreiss, Dwyer, Lyon, Hohn, Altgelt, Flinchum, Washington, Wells, and Mc- Ashan; while later arrivals were De Bona, Bogan. Miller, Young, Schaedel, Davis, Bell, Slaton, Whyte, Lockett, and Ward. Coach Moran arrived on the night of September 12th and work began at 6 a. m. next morning. The first week was spent in passing the ball, tackling the dummy, falling on the ball, punting, drop-kicking, etc. No hard work wa indulged in until the players had become hardened. The following was the routine of the training camp: Rise at 6 a. m.. don football togs and take a half-mi 1 e jog along the beach. Fall on ball, tackle dummy, etc., until 8 a. m. Breakfast 8 to 9 a. m. 9 a. m. to ii a. m. rest, fish, boat, or whatever one pleased to do. 11 a. m. discussion of the rules. Dinner t 12 m. 1 p. m. to 2 p. m. take a nap. fFh, read, or the like. 2 p. m. to 3 p. m. dis¬ cussion of rules. 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. prac¬ tice in earnest. The afternoon workout generally be¬ gan with tackling the dummy, falling on ball, etc., and ended with some fast sig¬ nal practice. Supper at 6 T . m. Every¬ body to bed at 10 p. m. The work was very light at first, but gradually increased until the squad was going through fierce scrimmages during the last few days. After the first few days, pastry and oth¬ er injurious dishes were tabooed, smok¬ ing was prohibited, and Fe squad settled into strict training routin ' ' . B?thinor_ suits were worn under the football suits and after each workout the players strip¬ ped to their bathing-suits on the pMlerv of the club-house and jumped ofif the wharf into the water. After a thorough workout, the bathing was delightful, each meal was enjoyed to the utmost, and sleeping in the bracing Cult breezes was quiet and restful. Being late in the season, very few pleasure-seekers dis¬ turbed the quiet of the training camp and every minute was beneficial. Coach Moran’s daily chalk talks or class in “ruleology” were very important. The new rules were thoroughly discussed, the penalties learned carefully and the pos¬ sibilities of certain plays showns clearly on the blackboard. During the first week of training the members of the squad showed very hearty appetites. Barnes ate thirteen eggs one morning ror break¬ fast and became indignant because the other players laughed at him. Barnes said he could have eaten more if he had wanted to make a hog of himself. “Dutch” Hohn and “Big Swede” Lam¬ bert had a standing order with the milk¬ man for an extra gallon of milk, besides the regular allowance of three glasses each. Manager Pearl, of the club-house, stated that the squad of twenty-nine men repeatedly ate more than fifty pounds of fish at a meal. The two weeks spent at Seabrook, though costing the Athletic Association more than $600, was time and money well spent. The ability of each new man was determined, the new rules thoroughly mastered, the interference was perfected to a certain degree, and finally, each man was started on a course of training that would put him in the pink of condition by the time of the big game. Besides, the fishing, boating, bathing, seining, etc., were enjoyed greatly by the members of the squad, some of whom had never been in salt water before. The advantage of a training camp are thoroughly realized by the A. and M. Athletic Association and it will be made an annual affair. The twenty-nine men who were at Sea- brock arrived at College Station on Sep¬ tember 25th and continued their training without a break. Cretcher, Summers, Singer, and Coleman were working at College and began training as soon as the Seabrook squad arrived. School opened September 27th and the squad 200 was increased to nearly seventy men. From this time until the 10th of October some hard practice was indulged in, and the team went into the first game in bet¬ ter condition than in many years. Even at this time, however, prospects were far from bright. Hooker, captain and tackle, and a tower of strength in the line, did not seem to be interested in football. Nothing definite could be gotten from him, and Coach Moran was in a quan¬ dary. Altgelt was making a great show- was too light for half. Whyte kicked well and Flinchum showed considerable knowledge of football, but neither looked like a finished full-back. Abbott and Dwyer were hard workers at quarter and were showing considerable ability, but both were light and lacked experi¬ ence. To sum up, the line with a little coaching might hold its own; the back- field looked too weak. A surprise was in store for the stu¬ dents, however. When Fort Worth Uni- The “Gold Dust Twins” at Seabrook. ing, and, as Ward was a known quanti¬ ty, the ends were well taken care of. “Dutch” Hohn had been shifted from guard to tackle, filling Hooker’s place, and he and Barnes were tried men. Cretcher at guard was also a known quantity, but the other guard, center, and the entire back-field were as yet um known. Lambert looked good in prac¬ tice. but had yet to be seen under fire. Lyon at center was in a similar light. Bateman seemed to have his place cinch¬ ed at half, but he too was as yet un¬ tried. Bell was a mediocre back. Slaton versity deliberately threw us down, al¬ though they had signed an ironclad con¬ tract with a $200 forfeit attached, steps we re taken to procure a game with some other weak school. Ten telegrams were sent out to various schools, including Daniel Baker, the Polytechnic. Marshall Training School, Trinity, Holy Trinity, and others. The next day Daniel Baker came out with glaring head-lines; “Dan¬ iel Baker’s Showing against Baylor Brings Overtures from A. and M.” and seemed to.be all swelled ud over it, while, as a matter of fact. A. and M. had to have 201 a game with something to keep the play¬ ers trom going stale. Daniel Baker was only one of ten to whom A. and M. of¬ fered a game, and as far as the Daniel Baker-Baylor game was concerned, Bay¬ lor could have beaten Daniel Baker not less than 100 to o had she shown her full force. Marshall Training School of San An¬ tonio attempted to arrive over the 1. and G. N. in time to play October 8th, and, as is usually the case with travelers who take such a great risk, they were four hours late. The crowd waited patiently for two hours, but the game was not played. The M. T. S. team then decided to stay over until Monday. Although outclassed, the M. T. S. team played a good game for a prep school and showed up one glaring weakness in the Farmer team which was never completely rem¬ edied ; this was their inability to break up forward passes. Stieler, once a fam¬ ous guard at ’Varsity, was coaching the M. T. S. team and played left tackle against A. and M. Stieler has since been accidentally killed by a hunting companion. The score in the game was 42 to o, and while it was to be expected, still those who witnessed the game began to realize that we were far from down and out; that, in spite of our lack of veteran players, we would be in the running at all times. Owing to the fact that the M. T. S. game was delayed two days, two games were thrown together, as Austin College was scheduled for the nth. The Austin College team and their coach, J. Burton Rix, arrived a day ahead and were interested spectators at the first game. After seeing the A. and M. team in action, members of the A. C. team were quite optimistic. In fact, the whole bunch seemed to have ribbed them¬ selves up to believing that they had a chance. Appearances are deceptive. The score was 27 to 5, Austin College scoring on a fluke. Whether from the effects of the previous game or the rain and mud is not known, but the A. and M. team did not show as much dash and aggressive¬ ness as the day before. True they were playing a stronger team, but should have piled up a larger score. Abbott and Bate¬ man were the stars in this game. Bate¬ man made good gains around the ends and ran beautiful interference. The mighty Beasley had not yet shown much and was played at end. T. C. U. was the next victim. The game was played October 15th and re¬ sulted in an easy victory for A. and M., score 35 to o. Bateman and Abbott again did stellar work, repeatedly making twen¬ ty- and forty-yard gains. Beasley had been shifted to right half-back and made a splendid showing, his first line buck of the game netting ten yards. He also showed great proficiency in passing the ball. On October 20 th A. and M. faced a team practically unknown. In making up the schedule a letter was sent to “Manager of Football Team, Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky.” Instead of the real Kentucky University receiving the letter, it was given to Transylvania University, who claimed to have recent¬ ly changed their name. The mistake was not discovered until too late to get anoth¬ er game, and, although the contract call¬ ed for a guarantee of $700, the Transyl¬ vania team was allowed to come on, in the hope that they would put up a good game. They proved to a joke and A. and M. won 33 to o. The improvement in A. and M.’s offensive work was a source of much satisfaction. Ward showed that he was the same brilliant end, Altgelt seemed to be able to hold down the other end in great style, the line was like a stone wall, and, what was more satisfactory, the back field was showing ability beyond our fondest dreams. The team left College for their trip to Arkansas with unbounded confidence. They were going at top speed and Arkansas had just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Kansas “Aggies” and had only defeated Southwestern by one point. The A. and M. team made the trip in a special tourist sleeper and ar¬ rived in Fayetteville Friday morning. October 28th. After their long ride the 202 players were somewhat sore and stiff, and Coach Moran led the bunch for a brisk two-mile jaunt into the Ozarks. The temperature at that altitude was considerably lower than at College Sta¬ tion and the team felt the change keen¬ ly. During practice that afternoon and the next morning the team appeared slow to get off and handled the ball with many a fumble. Everyone was confi¬ dent of victory, however, and the Ar¬ kansas bunch seemed to be rather fear¬ ful of the result. With the exception of Grissom and Lambert, the entire farmer team was out of form. The Razorbacks were lightning fast and used series plays to great advantage. At times the quarter¬ back called signals while his man was still running with the ball and it had hardly touched the ground before they were off like a flash into another play. For two quarters, A. and M. seemed bewildered by the fierce and rapid at¬ tack of their opponents. In the third quarter A. and M. rallied and showed A. and M. vs. Kentucky. Our back-field was much heavier than that of the Razorbacks, but the two lines were about equal in weight. The two Arkansas tackles, Estes and Bryan, w r ere a tower of strength in the line and A. and M. could make no consistent gains through it. A. and M.’s defeat, however, was due mainly to the fact that her interference was no good. At no time during the year did the interference look so weak. flashes of their true form, but they could not gain through the heavy Arkansas line and their end runs were poor at¬ tempts, due to the lack of interference. For some reason, the players could not stay together and the interference was easily smashed by the Razorbacks. Al¬ though Arkansas did not cross the A. and M. goal line, their five points re¬ sulting from a goal from field and a safety, with an even break of luck they 203 would have defeated the Farmers some- • thing like 18 to o. In the last quarter, after a short delay to measure the dis¬ tance, Arkansas put the ball in play with¬ out calling signals and sent Estes around right end for a touchdown. They had an¬ ticipated the referee’s whistle by a few seconds, however, and the score was not allowed. At the instant the game ended Arkansas was executing a forward pass that would easily have resulted in a touchdown. There is no doubt but that Arkansas was the strongest team A. and M. faced during the season. They had just suffered defeat at the hands of their the dash and aggressiveness generally shown. When they did get going, how¬ ever, it was almost impossible to break through and tackle the man with the ball. The Fort Worth Record, in comment¬ ing on the game, says: “A. and M.’s interference was par excellence, and any- eleven in the State will experience trou¬ ble in tearing it open. They ran inter¬ ference in a manner that was little short of marvelous.” T. C. U. scored a touch¬ down in the last minute of play, the re¬ sult of listless defensive work on A. and M.’s part. All in all, the trip was not a success. The team was decidedly off ’Varsity Chirring Section. old rivals, the Kansas “Aggies,” and they were now playing a team they were afraid of. The result was that they fought like tigers, outplayed A. and M. at every stage of the game, and won out 5 to o. Had A. and M. displayed the form shown at Houston, the result would have been different. Returning from Arkansas, A. and M. met and defeated T. C. U. for the sec¬ ond time, at Fort Worth, November ist. Score 23 to 6. Strange to say, the feat¬ ure of the game was the magnificent in¬ terference shown by A. and M. On the whole, their play was listless, lacking color in Arkansas and displayed no gin¬ ger in Fort Worth. Still, the trip served to accustom the players to alien soil and showed several weak spots in the line¬ up that were strengthened before the next game. The defeat by Arkansas, though it spoiled A. and M.’s chances for the Southern championship and prevented a clean record for the season, was of lit¬ tle moment at this time. The one ambi¬ tion of all A. and M. football enthusiasts is to defeat their old rival, Texas Uni¬ versity, and the many games are mere¬ ly preliminaries to the big fight at Hous¬ 204 ton. True, the other games are watched with interest, but mainly for the purpose of getting a line on the team. The A. and M. man would be perfectly satisfied if his college lost every other game of the season, as long as she won from Texas University. Until 1909, the Uni¬ versity had longed for Southern honors. The annual A. and M.-’Varsity game was the big game of the season, but they had put over a long line of consecutive wins and were looking forward to the Southern championship. When the 1909 season ended, however, all this was changed. Their one great desire was to idea was carried out. From November 1st to November 14th, not a minute was wasted. The weak spots which became apparent on the trip were strengthened, the men were carefully watched in their training, and the finishing touches put on the team-work. When the day of the big game finally rolled around, Coaches Moran and Andrews had their team in the pink of condition. Only three men (Ward, Abbott, and Dwyer) were in any way out of condition. Ward is never in condition, while Abbott and Dwyer only showed slight sprains. The status of the two teams was as A. and M. Cheering Section. get revenge. Consequently the rivalry in 1910 was intense, probably not equal¬ ed in any other section of the country. In making up the schedule for 1910. it was intended that A. and M. should meet two teams (the first strong, the sec¬ ond of medium strength) on alien soil, then have a week or more to rest up and improve before the big game in Hous¬ ton. When A. and M. met Arkansas in Fayetteville on October 29th, T. C. U. in Fort Worth on November 1st and then rested until November 14th, this follows: A. and M. had an impregnable line built up around the veterans Hohn, Barnes, and Cretcher. The ends. Ward and Altgelt, were high class as long as they lasted, but both were light and the former was in his usual poor condition. If they could last through the game, all well and good; otherwise we were handi¬ capped. The back-field was made up entirely of raw material, every man a young¬ ster playing his first college football. They had been playing good football 205 during the season, but had shown a tend¬ ency to blow up at critical moments of a hard game. The interference shown by the back-field was its greatest asset. With the University of Texas team the situation was reversed. They had a mediocre line, through which every team of class, such as Auburn, South¬ western, and Baylor, had made consist¬ ent gains. Their ends were all that could be desired, being steady, reliable, good on both offense and defense, and were strongly built men who would easi¬ ly last the four quarters. Their back- seasoned veterans about to meet a bunch of youngsters. They would play a game born of over - confidence, therefore a poor game. On the other hand, the A. and M. team realized that they were about to fight against great odds. The betting was two to one against them. They were coached by a man that was every inch a fighter, they had a deeper incentive to win, and finally, they were representing the most loyal and enthus¬ iastic student body that ever urged a team to victory. The result was inev¬ itable. With A. and M. fighting like Tackle around Tackle. field was superb. In fact, they had two sets of backs that could hardly be equal¬ ed in Texas. Moreover, their captain, a veteran of two years, was directing the play at quarter. Comparative scores are never reliable and should not enter into a comparison of two teams. A close study of individ¬ ual ability and the state of mind in which a team enters the fight are far more reliable. The University team would go on the field confident of vic¬ tory. T}!hey had beaten every rival, even the strong Auburn team, and they were tigers from the kick - off to the last whistle and ’Varsity playing in a list¬ less manner, due to over - confidence, the game must end in a victory for the former. The two special trains bearing the A. and M. contingent, one thousand strong, arrived in Houston shortly after 10 o’clock on the morning of November 14th. For the first time in many years, the football squad was kept at College until the day of the game. Heretofore it had been the custom to send the team down the day before, but it was thought 206 that the players would be in better con¬ dition if they slept in their own beds the night before. The trip to Houston was of only a few hours’ duration and would not tire them to any extent. They were given a car to themselves on the rear of the first section, and immediately up¬ on arriving at the depot were rushea through to the Rice Hotel before the enthusiastic crowd at the station could get near the team. The ' Varsity team had arrived the day before and was stopping at the Country Club. A. and M. supporters were far from confident. They knew that the Farmer authorities had obtained evidence that Massingill, formerly an instructor and coach at Allen Academy, had played un¬ der an assumed name at Baylor in 1907. The matter was brought before the Pres¬ ident of the Intercollegiate Association, who decides such matters. The Presi¬ dent happened to be our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle, of Southwestern. This gentleman made it known to the multitude that he would publish his de¬ cision on the morning of the 14th, the day of the game. The athletic author¬ ities at A. and M. were confident that Massingill would be declared ineligible. team would fight to the last ditch—no team coached by Chas. Moran could do otherwise; but they also realized that the odds were against them. However, these same supporters meant to back the team from the word “go,“ as they had been doing since time immemorial. There may at times be doubt as to the outcome of a game, but there is never a doubt as to whether or not the A. and M. rooters will be on the job. On the morning of the game another question, bearing directly on the strength of the two teams, was brought up. Sev¬ eral days before, the A. and M. athletic They had written affidavits to the effect that Massingill had played under an as¬ sumed name. His object in doing so had no bearing whatever on the subject. It was strictly against the eligibility rules and the offender should be punished ac¬ cordingly. The fact, however, that Mas¬ singill played under an assumed name was not A. and M.’s only protest. Massingill had coached at Allen Ac¬ ademy. Our other very dear friend, Prof. Allen, declared that Massingill was employed to teach in the Academy, that after he came to Bryan “he took great pleasure in coaching the boys,” and that 207 he was not paid to coach. Vining, an¬ other University player, seems to have derived a great deal of “pleasure” from the same source, for he too taught at the Academy and coached the team Mr. Souby, the present instructor, is no doubt getting about the same amount of “pleas¬ ure” for coaching the boys. In fact, all of Allen Academy’s coaches are merely instructors, most of them come from Texas University, and all of them leave Allen Academy with considerable “pleas¬ ure” stowed away in their jeans. It is really remarkable how athletic are the new instructors at the Academy and how other means. Picture Barnes or Holm playing ball under an assumed name at Baylor, whether to hide the fact from parents or with any other excuse; then picture ’Varsity protesting and our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle deciding the case. Coach Moran would certainly be compelled to use some subs, for Barnes or Holm would have about as much chance as a snowball in the lower regions. It is a shame that the Univers¬ ity decided to retain Wasmund as foot¬ ball coach. No doubt our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle. of Southwestern, would have made them an excellent An Exciting Moment. much they enjoy coaching the football team. Allen Academy is a good school, some of its instructors are friends of A. and M., and A. and M. likes to see the Academy win; but students of A. and M. do not believe that Prof. Allen is their friend, nor do they believe that Massingill and Vining were not paid to coach, statements to the contrary not¬ withstanding. Thus, since Prof. Allen not only refused to furnish evidence to show that Massin ¬ gill received money for coaching, but also shielded him with the statement that he was not paid to coach, it was up to A. and M. to eliminate the coach by some physical director and the position would probably have paid him more “pleasure.” ITe certainly deserved the place. Massingill was declared eligible, mak¬ ing the University supporters all the more confident. As far as the A. and M. players were concerned, they were glad to hear that the protested player had been declared eligible; “for,” they said, “if we win with Massingill in the game, there will be no excuse to offer.” Sub¬ sequent events show that it would have been wise to keep this much - talked of player out of the game. He m de no gains to speak of and pulled off the big¬ gest “bone” of the game when he touch¬ 208 ed the forward pass in the second quar¬ ter. He could not catch the ball, and by barely touching it he made the A. and M. players eligible to recover, the play resulting in a touchdown. It is not known why Massingill failed to star. While his eligibility was being decided, it is said Massingill at the Country Club raved for a chance at the Farmers and predicted dire results should he be al¬ lowed to play. His failure to star may be attributed to his advanced age. The Professor must be getting well along to¬ ward middle age by this time. The gates ?t West End Park were opened at i :30 o ' clock, but not before a seated. Banners bearing the inscriptions, ‘‘Ex-Prof. Vining,” Ex-Coach Massin¬ gill,” and “Who was Bailey?” were placed in full view of the ’Varsity stands. It was a mute and decidedly late protest, but the boys had to get it out of their systems in some manner. At 2:55 o’clock practically all the crowd was inside the enclosure. The University contingent occupied the open stands, while A. and M. occupied the side with the covered stand, the seating hav¬ ing been reversed from last year. The University team appeared on the field at 3 o’clock and received a warm welcome from the east side of the field. Downed for a Loss. large crowd had gathered outside wait¬ ing to be admitted. By 2:15 o’clock the University stands were filled and all ex¬ cept the cheering section on the A. and M side were nearly so. At 2:20 the regiment of cadets left town 1 en route for the field. At 2:30 it was apparent that all records for attendance at a foot¬ ball game in Texas would be broketi, and that over 10,000 people would wit¬ ness the game. At 2:45 tf 16 First Battal¬ ion swung into view and in a short time the entire regiment of 1.000 cadets was They ran signals for a few minutes, then retired to the side lines. The A. and M. team did not leave the Rice Hotel until after 3 o’clock. This delay was caused by Coaches Moran and Andrews, who did not care to leave in a flurry. They gave their last instructions to the team as if it were merely a day ' s practice, and then, without any nerver- ousness, loaded the bunch into the ve¬ hicles and drove to the park. It was 3:15 when Captain Barnes leaped the fence and was followed by 209 forty-six men in uniform. ’Varsity won the toss and chose the south goal, get¬ ting the advantage of a light wind. First Q uarter. De Bona kicked off to ’Varsity’s 15- yard line, then retired, being replaced by McDowell. Coach Massingill re¬ ceived the ball, but made no return. Kirkpatrick kicked out of bounds at the 40-yard line. Whyte, on a fake kick, went 5 yards around right end, Kern opponents’ 34 - yard line. A forward pass was attempted. Ex-Coach Mas¬ singill muffed the ball and Ward fell on it after crossing the line. Goal was kicked from a very difficult angle. Score, A. and M. 9, ’Varsity 3. Second Quarter. ’Varsity took a brace and outplayed A. and M. Brown, Moore, and Wolfe made consistent gains and Moore went over for a touchdown. On the punt A Section of the Bceachers. gained 1 yard around left end. Ward was called back from his position and kicked a held goal from the 30-yard line. Score, A. and M. 3, ’Varsity o, after two minutes of play. ’Varsity quickly tied the score. Using the forward pass to advantage, they advanced the ball to A. and M.’s 5-yard line, where the latter held. Kirkpatrick kicked an easy goal from placement. Score, A. and M. 3. ’Varsity 3. After several minutes of play, A. and M. worked the ball to their out, Spoonts failed to make the catch, and no goal was kicked. Score, A. and M. 9, ’Varsity 8. Third Quarter. This quarter was practically an even break. It was the lull before the fierce last quarter. Kicking featured. No ' ■scoring. Fourth Quarter. This was the exciting quarter of the 210 game. ’Varsity worked down to A. and M.’s 25-yard line and Kirkpatrick pre¬ pared to kick. A field goal would put ’Varsity two points in the lead. Kirk¬ patrick is a grand punter, but he has never yet been sucessful with his drop- kicking against A. and M. The Farmers broke through the opposing line, blocked the kick, and the danger was over. A. and M. kicked out of danger and soon recovered the ball on their 36-yard line. From now on it was all A. and M. Line bucks, forward passes, end runs, all were successful, and soon the ball Beasley was doing the rest. He gained 5 yards around end, then executed a for¬ ward pass to Kern for 15 yards. He took a respite while Holm went through the line for 2 yards, then bucked for 5 yards, then for 6. Bateman gained 1 yard, then Beasley crashed into the op¬ posing line for a gain of 12 yards. Again he was called on and plunged through for 3 yards. The ball was now on ’Var¬ sity’s 5-yard line, the A. and M. rooters were wild with delight, and Kirkpatrick looked like he had been sent for and couldn’t come. Tbe over-rated quarter- was on ’Varsity’s 17-yard line. Here Ward attempted a field goal, but was un¬ successful. ’Varsity kicked to the 52- yard line, and now began the onward march of the Farmers that will never be forgotten. With the exception of a 2-yard gain by Holm and a i-yard gain by Bateman, it was all Beasley. This grand young player gave the greatest ex¬ hibition of line-bucking ever seen on a Texas gridiron. The Houston Chronicle dubbed him “The Hammer of Thor.” Kern, the heady little quarter, had de¬ tected the weak spot, Hohn and Schaedel were opening up in great style, and back’s head was rapidly becoming de¬ flated. Again Beasley’s num ber was called, but there was no hush of expect¬ ancy ; instead the noise was deafening and the A. and M. rooters seemed about to demolish the grand stand. Beasley crouched and for one brief moment both teams seemed rooted to the ground. “Four-six-eight!” came the sharp stacca¬ to of the second series of the signal, and like a flash the opposing teams sprang in¬ to action. The mighty Beasley received the ball and crashed into the line with an impact that was terrific. The oppos¬ ing line wavered, then crumbled before 211 the fierce onslaught, Beasley crossed the goal line, and the game was won. To say that the A. and M. students celebrated the victory at Houston would be putting it mildly. Shirt-tail parades were the feature of the evening, and, as the Galveston News put it, “The boys from old A. and M. painted the town red and white.” For some reason there was a dearth of yellow and white on the streets after the game. Where the thousand or more ’Varsity rooters hid themselves is a mystery, but hide they did, and the very few that were seen on by our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle would prove worthy rivals. They were practically a veteran team and their back field was by far the fastest in the State. They had started the season in great form, holding the University to an ii to 6 score and barely losing to the strong Arkansas team by one point. By defeating Southwestern, A. and M. would remove the last bar to the cham¬ pionship of Texas. The game was far more important than most people seemed to think. The Southwestern team arrived No- Timr Out for Tuuane. the streets seemed to have but one ob¬ ject in life—to spend that dime for a hamburger and steal silently out into the night. It is said that in Austin the next day the banks did a thriving lending business, and when a ’Varsity man drop¬ ped his pocketbook, no one would pick it up. Interest in football declined consid¬ erably after the Houston game. The majority of the students looked upon the Southwestern game merely as an¬ other easy victory, something like the Austin College game; but those on the inside knew that Southwestern, coached vember 17th, and our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle notified the A. and M. management that he would require four paid officials ' for the game! next day. This meant an outlay of $100 for offi¬ cials, and A. and M. couldn’t see it that way. Our very dear friend Mr. Ar¬ buckle seemed to be losing his grip. Heretofore his decrees had been law, but from now on things were to be different. On the morning of November 18th, Kyle Field, was almost a solid sheet of water, due to a heavy rain. Coach Moran, however, put men to work car- 212 rying the water off, and by noon the field was in much better shape, though it was of course still muddy. The game was hard fought, but the result did not show the comparative strength of the two teams. On a dry field, the line - smashing machine that ripped through the University line would have made the light Southwestern line look like a sieve. As it was, the field was so heavy that the opposing line men had only to lay down to stop the play. No doubt the fast Southwestern backs would have shown better on a dry field, but they could never have gotten by the Farmer ends, for the simple reason that they had no interference. In fact, their backs in carrying the ball were almost without protection, and, what was worse, clung to the old-fashioned way of run¬ ning the entire width of the field before cutting in to make the advance. A. and M. won in the last quarter on a neat for¬ ward pass, Whyte to Kern, clinching the State championship, and administer¬ ing the second reverse to our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle. The defeat seem¬ ed to hurt the latter gentleman very much, and immediately after the game, he put up a squall that was long and loud. He declared that water had been poured on the fi eld! How hath the mighty fallen! First he sees the posi¬ tion of athletic director at the Univer¬ sity of Texas (a position that he had worked faithfully for and certainly de¬ served) given to another, then his pets are walloped by his very dear friends the Farmers. He will be handed anoth¬ er package when the officers of the Asso¬ ciation are elected in 1911, or A. and M. will no longer be a member of the Tex¬ as Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Moreover, after our very dear friend Mr. Arbuckle is deposed, he can tamper with players in our training camp, as he did during the past season, without lowering the dignity of his high official position. Last fall he seemed to have a longing for McAshan of our squad, and his telegrams and registered letters (which are now in possession of A. and M. athletic authorities) were master¬ p ieces. He was “holding full-back” for McAshan, had reserved a room ’ in a certain hall for him and hoped he would decide to report at once. We love Mr. Mills, but oh you Arbuckle! With A. and M. champions of Texas, little interest was shown in the Thanks¬ giving game with Tulane. The latter team had had a poor season, having been defeated in every game played, and there was no doubt as to the outcome of their game with A. and M. The game was well advertised and drew about two thousand people, but the weather was too warm for football and the game dragged from beginning to end. The light Tulane team was outclassed and met defeat 17 to o, but the plucky fight they put up commanded the admir¬ ation of everyone present. Some of their players, such as Lester and Garrett, at end and center respectively, were former All-Southern men; but the team as a whole was weak. Grissom, of A. and M., played a great game against Tulane. His long end runs and his defensive work showed him to be a high - class player. The season of 1910 was a success financially, but not artistically. Hereto¬ fore the season has ended with a great Thanksgiving game at Austin. The in¬ terest and enthusiasm were at a high pitch until the last day of the season. This year football was practically a dead issue after the great A. and M. game with ’Varsity at Houston. If the Uni¬ versity declines to meet A. and M. on neutral ground, then the latter should contract for a game with some strong Southern team. This, however, is easier said than done, for all the stronger Southern teams have annual Thanksgiv¬ ing games that have been played since time immemorial, and would hardly play i A. and M. or any other team in Texas. It is indeed unfortunate that the Uni- ■ versity refuses to play outside of Austin : on Thanksgiving day. While the Texas daily papers were ; unanimous in awarding A. a ' nd M. the 1 championship of Texas, Baylor let out a howl that could be heard all over the 213 State. Baylor had a grand team—no one questions that fact; but few people be¬ sides Baylor partisans will admit their right to the championship. The Baylor- Daniel Baker game should have no ef¬ fect on the standing of the former, lor Daniel Baker was entirely out of her class and the Baptists were more than 100 per cent stronger. But the University of Texas-Baylor game certainly does en¬ ter into the question. Any team that quits the held because an official’s de¬ cisions are not to their liking should never be declared the champions. No A. and M. team ever quit under fire. Imagine, if you can, worse decisions than A. and M. received at Dallas in 1907, when she was clearly cheated out of a victory over Texas University. Did the Farmers leave the field in the mid¬ dle of the game? Not on your life. They fought to the last minute of play, like the brave heroes they were. Bay¬ lor’s chief claim to the championship was based on comparative scores, a weak foundation for any argument. She claims that inasmuch as she defeated Southwestern 27 to 5, whereas A. and M. defeated them only 6 to o, there must be something superior about the Baylor team. She fails to mention the fact that A. and M. twice defeated T. C. U. 35 to o and 23 to 6. while T. C. U. held Baylor to a 10 to 3 score. Comparative scores are poor guides. The members of the A. and M. team had broken training, turned in their suits and buckled down to work to prepare for the fall term examinations. There was no chance for a post-season game with Baylor, nor, for that matter, was there any question as to the State championship, except in the Baylor camp. Moreover, it was Baylor’s fault, and theirs alone, that there was no A. and M.-Baylor game scheduled for 1910. They were offered a number of dates, finally agreed on one, and were sent con¬ tracts. They kept these several weeks, long enough to almost spoil the Farmer manager’s chance to get another college, then returned the contracts unsigned. Those in position to know give Mr. Mills, the Baylor athletic director, credit for the statement that as long as Moran is at A. and M. there will be no A. and M.-Baylor game. Strange to say, this causes no consternation in athletic cir¬ cles at College Station. By some means, A. and M. fared well in 1910 without a game with Baylor and there is a shadow of a chance to repeat the performance in 1911. On the night of November 30th the members of the football squad were guests of the loyal “Bryan Bunch” at a theater party. John Mason in “The Witching Hour” was the attraction and it was greatly enjoyed by t..e players. After the play, refreshments were served in the Elks’ club-rooms. Too much praise cannot be given these men. Year after year they have backed old A. and M. to the limit. Win or lose, the Bryan contingent has always been true blue and all A. and M. admires and appreciates their loyalty. At an oyste r supper given by the Athletic Association, December 2d, “Ts” were awarded and plans made for next year. Those awarded the “T” were Barnes, Hohn, Schaedel, McDowell, Alt- gelt, Cretcher, Lambert, Kern, W h yte, Beasley, Bateman, Bell, Grissom, Ward, Flinchum, and Scott Moore. The fol¬ lowing were awarded silver footballs with the letters “T. A. M. C.” engraved on them: Miller, Dwyer, Underwood, Abbott, Vesmirosky, Slaton, and Lyons. Short speeches were made by all the players, the Bryan rooters, Col. Milner, Captain Moses, Prof. R. F. Smith, Coach Moran, and others present. Prof. Smith presented the squad with a beau¬ tiful loving-cup, while the squad pre¬ sented Captain Moses with a loving-cup, and Col. Milner and Prof. Puryear gold¬ headed canes. Prof. Puryear brought down the house when he entrusted those present with a secret: “Back in the nineteenth century, when the Rugby game was played and mass plays were un¬ known,” he said, “I played football my¬ self ; but that is ancient history.” Thus was the curtain rung down on the glori¬ ous season of 1910, a season that will live long in the memories of A. and M. men. 214 2 ' 5 1910 Football Record.

This, however, is small honor for such a player. He would star on both an All-Southwestern and an All-Southern team, and we would wager a month’s allowance that he could make any team in the country, not excepting Yale or Harvard. He stands 6 feet 3 inches in height, weighs 197 pounds, and is one of the strongest men in the South to-day. Not an ounce of superfluous flesh does he carry, his 197 pounds being made up entirely of bone and muscle. Besides possessing a wonder fid physique, Barnes is one of the headiest players that ever donned a football suit, and bis many sterling qaulities have made him the pride of his team-mates. “Dutch Hohn, Captain-elect for 1911, was another selection for all-State tackle. “Dutch” won his spurs at guard last season, but when Hooker failed to return this year, he was shifted to tackle, a much harder position to play. As in everything else, “Dutch” made good. You can’t keep him down. The fact that he is a human phonograph does not seem to afifect his athletic ability in the least. His work in the last quarter of the Houston game, when, working with big Schaedel, he opened up such gaping holes for Beasley, will never be forgotten. “Dutch” is an ideal man to head the veteran team which will represent A. a nd M. next year. He has the individual ability, the experience, the con¬ fidence of his team-mates, and the ginger and dash necessary for such an undertaking. CretchEr, the Old Reliable, played his usual strong game at guard. This big boy nevet talks much, but his actions speak louder than a whole carload of phonographs, or even “Dutch” Hohn himself, could possibly speak. At a critical moment in the game, when the result depends on the next play, let the assault be directed against Cretch and listen for the sigh of relief from the side lines. Positively, there is nothing doing through guard when Cretch is on the job. The coaches know it, the rooters know it, and oppos¬ ing teams soon find it out; so. after all, Cretch doesn’t need to blow his own horn. SchaedkIv is another 200-pouncler who came into his own during the past season. He worked hard, last year, but failed to win his letter. His second try, however, brought results and he landed in the select circle like a thousand of brick.” It was Schaedel who, in that last glori¬ ous quarter of the Houston game, left his posi¬ tion to tell the quarterback to direct the play be¬ tween guard and tackle. ‘‘My man is easy,” he said, and evidently he zvas easy for Schaedel, for no one was there to stop Beasley and a touch¬ down resulted. Such headwork wins games and Schaedel will be there again next year, stronger than ever. Of “DocGik” Ward little need be said. He has already been given enough space in the news¬ papers to turn an ordinary player’s head. “Dog¬ gie,” however, is far from ordinary; in fact, he is very extraordinary. He is the best end in the South without question. No one knows how he does it. He is not heavy, he is not exceptionally fast, he is rarely in condition—but my, how he gets there! Pie has the knack of being every¬ where the ball is and is directly responsible for more scores than any other man on the team. “Doggie’s” playing is brilliant, but not the flasliy kind that fails to bring results. When A. and M. scores, you can generally find Mr. Ward in a prominent position; when the ball is fumbled, the same gentleman pounces upon it and—well, he is the best ever. Altgert was another player whose indom¬ itable pluck and energy won him a place on the team and a place in the heart of every A. and M. supporter during the past season. It was Alt- gelt’s third try, and, like most of the others who were slow in coming, he arrived full force. He is one of the best defensive ends who ever wore the maroon and white and is fast improving his offensive play. ' Though comparatively small, he breaks interference like a battering-ram, tackles fiercely, and is never put out of the game on ac¬ count of injuries. His work in the Houston game was splendid, and stamps him as one of the best players on the team. Altgelt has one more year in college and great things are expected of him in 1911. Bi‘Xi s success may also be attributed to ms unequaiect grit and sticKauinty. raiiure to maKe the team did not deter him. When release sounded in the alternoon-, Ueii was always on Ins way to the Kyie hieid tor practice, hie worked hard and earnestly, was the most conscientious trainer on the squad, prohted by the words ot the coaches, and hnaiiy developed into a last, heady back, who could be depended upon in any game. The fact that Coach Moran started lien at half in Houston stamps him as a high-class player. Tyree has two more years in Coiiege, and it he improves as much as he did during the past sea¬ son, he will be a wonder. Fijnchum played fullback on the great ’o? team, which ready defeated ’Varsity at Dallas and lost by a narrow margin at Austin. “Sig ' was famous then as a line-bticker and punter and on his return in 1910 disproved the popular idea that an athlete can not “come back.” He did come back, and with a vengeance. During the early part of the season he played in his old posi¬ tion at full, but when Whyte made such a won¬ derful showing and Ward was injured, “Flinch” was shifted to end, where he played a splendid game. It is rumored that “Chief” has played his last game of football. Daily missives from Okla¬ homa, addressed in a feminine hand, seem to justify the statement. Beasi.Ey was another 1907 man remembered only by the present Seniors. During that year he was for a time on the squad, but later a star on the A Company team, probably the greatest company team ever seen at A. and M. When h e returned this year with the statement that he intended giving us the best he had, nobody dreamed that he carried so much in stock. His work throughout the season was way above par and his brilliant playing in the last quarter of the A. and M.-’Varsity game at Houston will never be forgotten as long as football is played in Tex¬ as. Beginning at the 52-yard line, Beasley liter¬ ally tore the ’Varsity line to pieces. Even the opposing team’s secondary defense could not stop him and his gains measured from 5 to 15 yards at a time. His work in this quarter alone stamps him as one of the best line-buckers in the State, while his ability to pass the ball and his defensive work make him one of the best halfbacks dis¬ covered in many a day. Whyte, the lanky fullback, was a Holy Trinity star, and a product of Joe Utay’s excel¬ lent coaching-. He was slow to get in form and at the time of the trip to Arkansas did not look to be an exceptional player. Consequently, he was left at home. Having realized that he had not been doing himself justice, the tall one lee out another notch or two and things began to hap¬ pen. Reports began coming in from Kyle Field that Whyte was a demon, and in the Houston game he showed that he was a star of the first magnitude. He was light for a fullback and was slow on his feet, but the manner in which he picked out holes in the line and sifted througn them, and his steady, cool punting, brought joy to the hearts of the A. and M. rooters. He kept his feet well and hit the line without diminishing his speed a particle. Kern was the dark horse of the team. When he first appeared on the squad he seemed to understand the game and handled punts well, but that was all that could be said of him. He did not show a great amount of speed or individ¬ ual brilliancy, and when he suffered the misfor¬ tune of having two ribs broken he was no longer considered a likely candidate for quarterback. Then, on the eve of the big game at Houston. Dwyer was injured, and, as Abbott had been crip¬ pled since the Arkansas game, it was up to Kern. The manner in which the boy made good is a matter of history. His handling of punts and magnificent generalship in that game will be remembered for many a day. In the next game, that with Southwestern, Kern was again direct¬ ly responsible for the only score of the game when he received a long forward pass and went over the goal line for a touchdown. HcDoweel, the strong man, was another who found himself after the season was half gone. Although much lighter than the average center, he made up for his lack of weight with an unusual supply of grit and determination. Though “Me” is a light center, weighing only 165 pounds, he is possessed of a magnificent phys¬ ique. No doubt this boy is the most perfectly built and the strongest man attending A. and M. He has the strength, the determination, and the nerve necessary for an all-around athlete and with a little more coaching he will certainly de¬ velop into a wonder. Positively, he has no vices, is always in training, and exerts a moral influence over his team-mates that is invaluable. He is about as near an ideal man, both physically and morally, as can be found anywhere, and we are proud of him. Bateman came to us from the Peacock Mil¬ itary School and made good from the jump. Prom the time he put on a football suit at Sea- brook until the Tulane game was over, Bateman looked to be the real stuff. He not only looked to be, but ivas the real stuff. He made his posi¬ tion from the start and was never in danger of being ousted from it. He made good gains around the ends, bucked the line like a veteran, and ran the most beautiful interference seen in a long time. The latter was his long suit, and many an opposing player found it next to im¬ possible to get his man when Bateman was in the way. He was a cheerful trainer, was always on hand when needed and could be depended on at critical stages of the game. Lambert was the second Peacock man to make good. He too reported at Seabrook and made things hum from the very start. Off the gridiron, he is a happy-go-lucky fellow ; but when once he faces an opposing guard, he is strictly business, as those who have opposed him will testify. Lambert is the fastest big man in the country. He stands 6 feet 3 inches in height, weighs over 200 pounds and is faster than any other man on the team, not excepting the backs. His work in the Arkansas game at Fayetteville, with Lambert, Sr., looking on, was little short of marvelous. In fact, his work during the en¬ tire season was above reproach and he is ex¬ pected to be a standby for several years to come. Grissom was a star at Baylor several years before he discovered that he was not attending the best school in Texas. Immediately after making this discovery, he packed his loud green and yellow sweater and made tracks for College Station, thereby rectifying his mistake. Al¬ though not eligible for State Association games, “Griss” played enough to show that he had the necessary class and was awarded a “T.” His playing at end in the Arkansas game was high class in every respect, while in the Tulane game at Houston he was the bright particular star. He will be eligible for all games next year and there is no question as to whether or not he will make good. We know he will. THE 1911 The Substitutes. There never has been, and never will be, a winning football team developed without a cork¬ ing good second team. They are due as much credit as the first team, in spite of the fact that they never get it. It is the scrubs that bear the brunt of the fight. Day after day they are put on the defense to be trampled upon by the so- called first team. Then the trip comes and the scrubs stay at home and work while the first team travels around in a special car, attracting a great deal of attention and enjoying life generally. Too great a tribute cannot be paid our scrubs for the past season. When such men as Dwyer. Abbott, Miller, Underwood, Vesmirosky, Lyons, and Slaton fall under that head, it is safe bet¬ ting that the first team will win the champion¬ ship, for they must be stars every one. Abbott and Dwyer were both high-class quarterbacks and would star on any ordinary team. Both were handicapped by injuries, but with a never-say-die spirit that will win in the end, they stuck to their colors and gave us the best they had. Miller and Lyons, the former alternating be¬ tween guard and tackle and the latter at center, were a tower of strength to the line and could be depended upon at all time s. Underwood at half and Slaton and Ves- mirosky at full are coming stars. Underwood is lightning fast and hits the line like a pile- driver. Slaton shows an unusual amount of foot¬ ball knowledge and plays his position in great style. Vesmirosky, a Bryan product, is a punter and drop-kicker of no mean ability and bucks the line like an old head. Washington, Dreiss, and Davis are also due special mention for their ex¬ cellent work at end. These men, together with Egleston, Rike, McKee, Puckett, Lutrick, Peters, Christen, Bur¬ leson, Lown, Armstrong, Neyland, Schofield, Brown, Pearce, Summers, and Bogan, are due great credit for the important part they played in producing the champions of Texas. Hats off to the scrubs. THE 191! L01 GftORN Three All-State Teams, 1910. Position. First Team. Second Team. Right End.. Estill (Texas). Touts (Baylor). Right Tackle Barnes (A. M.). Isbeel (Baylor).

Woodhull (Texas). Kirkpatrick (Tex.). Moore (Texas). Whyte (A. M.). Brown (Texas). These three all-Texas teams are the composite of the various selections of the coaches and chosen in no other man¬ ner. The selection of the first team is the easiest, of course, as it offers but one difficult proposition—that of left half. The Texas coaches shifted their back field selections considerably, but essen¬ tially they agreed on right half and full¬ back. Robinson, of Baylor, for instance, is picked by three coaches for left half and the fourth for fullback; Headrick, the choice of three for a back, can play full; while there seems no agreement on right half at all, Little, of Baylor, Mas¬ singill, of Texas, Beasley, of A. and M., and Daniels, .of T. C. U., each having his admirer. As Little is essentially a fullback and Daniels is not mentioned by two coaches for any team, the position goes to both Massingill and Beasley. The two ends, Estill, of Texas, and Ward, of A. and M., Henry, the Baylor center, Barnes, the big Farmer tackle, Ramsdell, of Texas, in the line, and Rob¬ inson, of Baylor, as a back, were unani¬ mous choices. Evidently then 1910 has been a season when certain men stood out very prominently at their position. On the other hand, there are several positions where there are at least two candidates. There is a singular unanim¬ ity of opinion as to the line, however, especially when Ramsdell is shifted to guard to play Hohn at tackle. Of the three colleges who were active contestants for the championship of the State, the ranking on the three composite teams is as follows: A. and M.—five first team men, two second, and two third. Texas—three first team men, no second, six third. Baylor—three first team men, five second and one third.— Houston Post. THE 1911 LOIWIORN Ranking State Elevens. Farmers Easy Winners in Inter-CoeeEgiate Conference, with Bayeor and Texas Close. With Thursday’s game the football season in the State closed, winding up the last doubts as to the standing of the nine colleges belonging to the Texas In¬ ter-Collegiate. And there is naturally joy at College Station over the fact that the Farmer eleven comes out triumphantly as winner of the State championship. The nine conference institutions are the most important in the State, and outside of them there is little athletic rank. To make a long story short, the ranking of the colleges in the Lone Star State this season is as follows: i, A. and M.; 2, Texas; 3, Baylor; 4, Southwestern; 5, Trinity; 6, Austin; 7, Polytechnic; 8, Daniel Baker; 9, T. C. U. There is but one dark cloud on the horizon, the uncertainty of Baylor’s posi¬ tion. That the Baptists have a great football team is recognized, and, as a matter of fact, it stands undefeated. But the Farmer slate is absolutely clean, while Baylor has the smirch of the much- discussed and altogether unfortunate for¬ feit to Texas. But the only way the situation can be taken is obvious. Bay¬ lor played the game on her own field and of her own volition quit the game, pro¬ testing over the decision of the referee. Without taking up the rights of the mac- ter or considering the diverse claims as to the team which played best in the game, the only way possible to settle the matter is to consider that Texas eliminated Bay¬ lor by th e forfeit. The score stood tied at the time Glaze took his men off the field. As a result, Baylor must pay the penalty and accept third place in the Texas Inter-Collegiate by her own act. The ranking of Trinity and “Poly” is ob¬ vious, as “Poly’s” defeat of the Waxa- hachie team was early in the season, while the latter showed vastly greater form aft¬ erward. The ranking of the nine col¬ leges is based on actual scores. A. and M. comes into the arena without a single State defeat recorded against her. Tex¬ as lost but to A. and M. in the State. Baylor did not play A. and M., but for¬ feited to Texas, being assigned third place in consequence. All of these colleges defeated the smaller ones in easy fashion. Southwestern’s checkered career included a tie with Austin and de¬ feats by Texas, A. and M., and Baylor. S. W. U. is given precedence over Trin¬ ity because of ' a harder schedule an I great form displayed. The Georgetown boys played great football, though luck broke against them. Trinity lost to “Poly” too early in the season to count. They won from Austin, Daniel Baker twice, Fort Worth, and won and lost to T. C. U. After pushing “Poly” out of the way, Austin lost a brilliant chance to finish fifth by losing to Trinity in the last game of the season. “Poly” is easily next to Austin. It is almost a toss-up be¬ tween Daniel Baker and T. C. U. for last place, the Brownwood team having won one. tied one, and lost four during the season, while T. C. U. tied one, won one, and lost seven. It was Daniel Baker’s o to o tie with Baylor that gave them the precedence. 224 THB1911 L01 Gtt0Rt A. and M. Season. A. and M. had a most successful sea¬ son in 1910, marred by but one defeat, a victory achieved by Arkansas at Fay¬ etteville without making a touchdown. Moran’s squad opened the year with a decisive defeat of Marshall Training School and followed with an easy victory over Austin College. In the next two games T. C. U. and Kentucky were an¬ nihilated. A field goal and safety by the Razorbacks won from the husky College Station team. Returning by way of Fort Worth, Moran captured another game from T. C. U., and then came the decisive game of November 14th at Houston, when the Farmers defeated Texas in a great victory. The next game was with Southwestern at College Station, played on a muddy field. Just how important it was that the Farmers should win is clearly demonstrated by the fact that if they had not, A. and M., Texas, and Southwestern would have claimed the State championship and Baylor would have actually won it. The game was hard fought and A. and M. barely won, 6 to o. ' t he season ended with a victory over Tulane at Houston. The A. and M. eleven was largely composed of youngsters of great prom¬ ise. Barnes, Holm, Ward, and Cretcher were the only veterans to return. Moran and Andrews developed a strong eleven from the youthful material at hand and have the satisfaction of knowing that if the team was good this year, it will be better next. The team played erratic ball. The few times it was scored upon were generally the results of fumbles in the last few moments of play. No hot¬ ter game could have been exhibited than that played against Texas at Houston. It would have been hard to play worse than was done against Tulane. A strong defensive line with wonderful offensive tendencies and brilliant workmanship with the forward pass featured the Farmer year .—Houston Post. 225 226 Baseball Season of 1910. When the baseball squad reported for practice early in February, there were only three of the 1909 team present— Bittle, Eversberg, and Moore. Of these, one was a pitcher, who would participate in only half the games. Thus the fast, heady team that represented A. and M. in 1909 and won second place in the race for the State championship was broken necessary to make them winners next year. Coach Moran, formerly with the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League, went to work with a vim, however, and began to weed out the poorest material. Some seventy-five men reported for prac¬ tice and among these were many play¬ ers with considerable natural ability, but up, leaving only three men as a nucleus for the 1910 team. It was impossible then, to expect a team made up almost entirely of inex¬ perienced players to cut a very wide swath in baseball circles. We could only hope to win half our games and in the meantime give the players the experience they lacked, almost to a man, the knowl¬ edge of inside baseball necessary for a winning team. Besides, although the men were above the average as fielders, they were fearfully weak with the stick ■—and it takes hits to win games. After reducing the squad to twenty- four men, the maximum number allowed 229 THE 1911 to be absent drill, Coach Moran began work in earnest. By hard work on the field during practice and with the aid of chalk-talks between times. Coach Moran finally began to get results. He even convinced big Puckett that it was wrong to attempt to steal home with nobody down, and persuaded Tommy Darst that a throw from the outfield came in much faster if “hopped” in than when thrown on a high fly. Then came the game with the New York Giants, March nth. Though ot course hopelessly outclassed, the team played like a bunch of veterans and held the big fellows to a 4 to o score. Christy Mathewson, the greatest pitcher of all time, and the famous “Bugs” Raymond, one of the greatest spit-ball artists in the country, were seen in action. Third base- man Herzog, now with Boston; pitcher Buck, the former Colgate University twirler; outfielder Zacher, now with the St. Louis Nationals, and short-stop Flet¬ cher, once a star in the Texas League, were other players of note who were in the game. The Farmers failed to reg¬ ister a single hit off Raymond, Buck, and Scott, while the Giants were only able to garner seven bingles off Moore and Anderson. A slightly different line-up was sent against Austin College on March 28th, the first College game of the season. Thompson was put behind the bat, Hen¬ derson sent to short, Vesmirosky shifted to center, replacing Darst, who was in¬ eligible, and Eversberg sent to left. The 230 scoring began in the second inning. Wil¬ liams was hit by a pitched ball, was sac¬ rificed to second by Eversberg, advancen to third on Henderson’s infield single and scored when he and Moore worked the squeeze play successfully. Austin College tied the score in the fourth. Sim¬ mons muffed Carey’s right fly to right, allowing the runner to reach second. In the second game Austin College was again victorious. Errors on the pare of Thompson, Puckett, and McFarland, coupled with hits by Carey, Hudson, and Eowry, allowed the visitors to gain a safe lead after the score had been tied in the fourth. Score, 6 to 3. At this time there was a woeful lack of hitting, the team failing to beat Douglas, a mediocre Hudson then singled to right, scoring Carey. In the sixth, the Farmers took a balloon ascension and did not return earth until Austin College had scored two more runs and cinched the game. It was the old story of an inexperienced team blowing up at critical stages of the game. pitcher with nothing but a glove and a prayer. On April 8th, St Edward’s invaded our camp. The St. Edward’s team is al¬ ways made up of fine boys, their coach, Billy Disch, is a gentleman, and they al¬ ways put up a good article of baseball. “Dutch” Holm was tried behind the bat THE 1911 in this game and he made good from the jump. His pep and ginger seemed to enliven the whole team and they easily defeated their opponents 5 to i. The A. and M. battery work showed a decided improvement, hfteen visitors going out by the strike-out route, while Taff, who lat¬ er became one of the leading pitchers in the Southwest Texas League, was touch¬ ed up rather freely and contributed two costly errors. The second game, which was played in the mud, went to the visitors by a score of 7 to 3. A. and M. had a lead of two runs until the sixth, when the visitors bunched three hits on Whipkey for a total of two runs, added another in the seventh, and in the ninth made four hits count for four additional scores. Taff was again on the firing-line for St. Ed¬ ward’s, and, although he yielded seven hits and three runs, evened up for the defeat of the previous day. Hohn kept up his good work behind the bat, besides securing three hits out of four trips to the plate, scoring two runs and pilfering two bases. Vesmirosky, in a desperate attempt to win in the ninth inning, smashed the ball to deep center for a home run, the first and only home run of the season. Coach Moran presented a changed line-up for these two games and it was varied but little drr ing the re¬ mainder of the ?ea c cn. Bittle was shift¬ ed to his old position at the difficult corner. Puckett was moved to second, and Dodsc renlaced him at fi r st On April the nth the Chesty Boys from Southwestern, with our verv dear friend (?) Mr. Arbuckle, arrived to take a fall out of Oe Farmers They seemed to think that the undertaking ' was by no means difficult and their clown stunts on the field before the game, evi¬ dently intended to awe Oe members or the Farmer team, were things of beauty and a joy forever. Captain Ayers, of Southwestern, displayed a varied assort¬ ment of graceful poses during his stay on the pitcher’s mound, but in spite of this, pitched a good game of ball. Costly errors by Word and McHenry in the sec¬ ond inning, together with hits by Ves¬ mirosky, Anderson, and Simmons, re¬ sulted in four runs for the 1 armers. Vesmirosky led off with a hit, Puckett struck out, Dodson reached first on an error, Vesmirosky advancing to second, Ayers made a wild pitch and the two runners moved up a notch. Eversberg struck out, but reached first safely when McPIenry dropped the third strike. Mc¬ Henry threw to third to catch Vesmi¬ rosky, but was too late. With the bases full, Anderson hit safely to center, scor¬ ing Vesmirosky and Dodson. Simmons was also there with the pinch hit, scoring Eversberg and Anderson. This ended the scoring for A. and M. Southwestern scored one run in the fifth on Puckett’s error, a stolen base, and Crosby’s safe hit. In the seventh, they scored three runs on errors by Bittle, Puckett, and McFarland and Crosby’s second hit of the game, tying the score. The game ended a tie; score, 4 to 4. In the second game, the best seen on tbe Campus during the season. A. and M. administered a decisive defeat to Southwestern ; score, 2 to o. The credit for this game belongs almost entirely to the battery. The visitors secured only four scratch hits, and as these were scat¬ tered through as many innings, they were not productive. Thirteen of the oppos¬ ing batsmen struck out and at no time was the Farmer pitcher in danger. A. and M.’s runs were made in the lucky sec¬ ond. Eversberg hit to the third baseman, who threw high to first, the runner reach¬ ing second. Stimson. who was holding down shortstop for the first time, went ' 32 THE 1911 LOWjHOFW out to first, but Eversberg advanced to third on the play. Simmons hit safely, scoring Eversberg, stole second and came home when Bittle singled to center. This ended the scoring and our dear friend Mr. Arbuckle again tasted the bitterness of defeat. The higher one goes the farther he has to fall. At the time of the games with had walloped us to their hearts’ content and sent us home, we felt like everything else but a fast baseball team. The fu¬ neral in question occurred about April 18th in a small (and very dry) town called Waxahachie. The team arrived full of confidence and pepper and de¬ parted full of remorse and tank water. Many excuses can be offered. First, Southwestern, the A. and M. team seem¬ ed to have finally rounded into form. They were fielding well, and although still weak with the stick, were making every hit count and taking advantage of every slip by an opponent. Alas! This was soon to be changed. When Trinity Coach Moran was unable to accompany the team; second, the team was playing for the first time on alien soil; third, the soil contained many pebbles (this com¬ bination sometimes known as gravel), the outfield was yielding an excellent crop of Johnson grass, the infield sloped gently 233 upward at an angle of 4 degrees from the bases and pitcher’s box to the home-plate; a native attempted to assault “Dutch ' ’ Holm with a section of the grandstand, thereby causing him to continually divert his attention from the game, and various other reasons might be advanced. It is the consensus of opinion, however, that “Dutch” Holm started the whole thing. When only a few miles out of College on the night train, “Dutch” attempted to reach his upper berth by stepping on the edge of the lower, and immediately came in contact with the business end of a hatpin. His screech of pain, surprise, anger, or whatever it was, and his con¬ tinued apologies to the unseen inhabitant of the lower berth, all had a disquieting efifect on the players and deprived them of their much - needed rest. Again, in Waxahachie, “Dutch” protested vigor¬ ously because a certain citizen was in his way when he attempted to chase foul balls, and was promptly forced to fall back along his line of communications at double time. The peaceable citizen had succeeded in prying loose a section of the grandstand and was making a fla nk at¬ tack on “Dutch” before the latter could concentrate. Finally, as “Dutch” sprint¬ ed gracefully across the collar-pad doing duty as the initial sack, he caught his spikes in the same and slid twenty feet on his stomach directly into the girls’ section of the bleachers. Such actions are not conducive to good baseball and many members of the team are convinced that “Dutch” was the cause of all the trouble. The fact remains, however, that Trin¬ ity beat us and beat us badly. The first game, though poorly played, was close. At the beginning of the ninth inning Trinity led by 2 scores. The first A. and M. man to the bat in that inning walked, stole second and scored on a hit. Anoth¬ er hit followed and the runner scored the tying run. Anderson had been pitch¬ ing good ball until the ninth, wnen lie lost control and, with the Help of errors behind him, filled the bases. Whipkey was sent in cold and walked the batter, forcing in the winning run; score, 6 to 5. The second game was a fiasco from start to finish. It was characterized by some poor fielding and poorer pitching. Moore showed nothing that puzzled the Trinity bunch and was hammered to all parts of the let. He should have been derricked in the first inning, but was not relieved until too late to save the game. When the smoke had cleared away, the score stood 10 to 3, decidedly in favor of Trinity, and the Farmers were glad to beat it for the depot and gladder still that Coach Moran was beyond speaking distance Following the disastrous trip to Wax¬ ahachie, Coach Moran put the team through some fast practice in preparation for the trip to Louisiana. For many years the baseball team had been prom¬ ised a trip out of the State, and now the pursestrings were finally loosened. Three games were played with Tulane at New Orleans and two with Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge. At New Orleans, though A. and M. made more hits and fewer errors than did Tulane, the latter were victorious in all three games. They won each game by one lonely score and the last two were helped greatly by some very shady decisions on the part of the umpire. Arneson, who had been unable to re¬ port for baseball until now. started the game for A. and M. Though he pitched a fair game, his work was not as high class as he was capable of. The scoring began in the lucky second inning. Hen¬ derson singled and stole second, and aft¬ er Puckett had fouled out, advanced to tiiird on Eversberg’s out at first. Thomp¬ son hit to shortstop Brown, who hobbled, allowing Henderson to score. In their halt of the same inning, Tulane scored on McCuller’s three-bagger and Brown’s single. In the fourth Henderson walked and scored on Eversberg’s slashing three- base hit to center. Tulane forged ahead in their half of the same inning, when Walmsley singled, was sacrificed to sec¬ ond by McCuller and scored when Brown connected for a round trip. In the fifth Tulane scored the winning run. McCul¬ ler walked, stole second and third while Jones and Powder were striking out, and scored on Walmsley’s single. In the of the game when he made a one-hand stop of Walmsley’s drive through the pitcher, touched second and whipped the ball to first for a fast double. The team played an errorless game in the field, but could not connect with McCuller’s bend¬ ers. Tulane scored their four runs on hard and timely hitting. The second game opened with the Farmers confident of victory, and this confidence was justified because they were much the better team and with an even break of luck would have won the last two games. Tulane got busy in the first inning. Bass, first up, struck out. but reached first when Holm dropped the sixth A. and M. scored their last tally. Plenderson hit a slow grounder to the infield and went to third when Callan let the throw get by him at first. McCuller threw to third in an attempt to catch the runner and the latter scored. Southpaw Whipkey relieved Arneson in the sixth and stopned the scoring. Final score. 4 to 3. Shortstop Henderson was the bright particular star in this game. Pie hit safely twice in three times at bat, scored all three of A. and M.’s runs and played a splendid game at short. Hen¬ derson executed the most brilliant play third strike. Darst, who had been shift¬ ed to first, gave an exhibition of stage fright and failed to see Puckett hide the ball. When Bass played off and Puckett threw to first, Darst made a mess of it. allowing Bass to reach second. Jones and Walmsley went out on infield grounders, while Bass moved ur to third. Darst was sent to center and Eversberg brought in to first. McCuller singled to center, scoring Bass. Callam then hit a grounder through the infield, Darst al¬ lowed the ball to go through his legs and count for two bases, McCuller scoring 235 A. and M. scored in the lucky second. Dodson was safe on McCuiler’s error, stole second, and scored on Moore s drive to second too hot to handle. In the third two more runs were put across. Hohn struck out, but reached second when McCuller let the throw get through him. He advanced to third when Jones booted Eversberg’s grounder, and then created quite a bit of excitement by steal¬ ing home. Eversberg reached third on the play and scored on Darst’s sacrifice fly. In the fifth Tulane tied the score. Bass walked, stole second, and scored when Moore threw the ball into center field in an attempt to catch him off sec¬ ond. Darst’s peg to the plate was per¬ fect, but took a bad hop on account of the rough ground. Tulane scored the winning run when Walmsley walked and scored on McCuiler’s long three-bagger. This hit would have gone for a home run had not a building stopped it. In the ninth inning A. and M. really tied the score, but the umpire said no. Simmons singled to left, stole second, moved to third on Bittle’s infield out, and, after Hohn had fouled out, made a desperate attempt to score on a short passed ball. Simmons slid in safely, but “his umps” couldn’t see it that way, even after Coach Moran had bounced him around the field several times. The third game was the best of the three. Whipkey pitched a beautiful game holding the Olive and Blue to three scratch hits and striking out five men. Tulane’s score came in the third, when Brown walked, stole second, and scored on Walmsley’s single to center. A. and M. threw a scare into the Tulane bunch in the ninth. Darst slammed a three- bagger against the fence, but the umpire stopped him at second, saying that he had cut the bag. He advanced to third when Dodson’s grounder was handled poorly. With men on first and third, Moore was sent to bat for Puckett in an attempt to squeeze in the runner from third. The signal for the squeeze was given on the third ball and the bunt resulted in a pop fly, which the pitcher knocked out of the diamond. The umpire, however, con¬ tended that, inasmuch as the ball rolled out, it was a foul. Moore struck out and Thompson’s grounder was handled cleanly, ending the chance to score. It is a significant fact that McCuller, who plays with Zwolle, La., and who was the greatest factor in defeating A. and M., packed his suitcase and departed for his home immediately after the series. Though rather disappointed, the team did not lose heart after the three suc¬ cessive defeats. Instead, they werit into the L. S. U. series at Baton Rouge with blood in their eyes. The first game was a pitchers’ battle between Moore, of A. and M., and Howell, of L. S. U. Howell yielded only one hit and struck out fifteen men, while Moore allowed two hits and struck out thirteen men. Howell, how¬ ever, lost his own game through inability to field his position. Simmons was directly responsible for both A. and M.’s scores. His base-running and all-around playing in this game were extremely brilliant. He reached first on an error in the first in¬ ning, stole second and third and scored when catcher Hamilton threw the ball away in an attempt to catch him napping. In the sixth Puckett drew a pass, stole second and scored when Howell, after booting Simmons’ bunt, threw the ball away. Simmons procured the only clean hit off Howell in the ninth inning, when he bunted down the third base line and sprinted across first while Howell ' was untangling his feet. What promised for a time to be a serious accident hap¬ pened during this game. In going after a foul, “Dutch” Hohn ran over a small boy, striking the little fellow’s head with his knee and knocking him out for sev¬ eral hours. He was hurried to the hos¬ pital and soon recovered consciousness. The team presented him with a fielder’ glove before leaving and were assured later that the little fellow would recover. The second game was a 6 to i victory for A. and M. Arneson kept the Tigers guessing throughout the game, while A. and M. pounded Slack, of L. S. U., for ten hits. L. S. U.’s only score was a 236 home run, which took a bad bound and got past Dodson in left field. The L. S. U. students put up about the poorest exhibition ox college spirit ever seen by the Farmers. As long as their team was leading, they made a fair amount of noise; but once the visitors forged ahead, they closed up tight and did not utter a sound during the rest of the game. Moreover, several hundred students watched the game from the tops of buildings and, the field being un¬ fenced, some of them even stood just across the street and watched the game without paying a cent. The field was lo C. U. has had a good team for the last ten or fifteen years for two reasons: first, they keep a good-sized bank account; second, tliey keep the same players un¬ til they are too old for service, then rele¬ gate them to the Texas League. How¬ ever, the Farmers were going good at that time and were not afraid of the Leaguers. Both games would have been close and hard fought. The season ended with the Deaf and Dumb team on our ground. The visitors were outclassed in the first game, being defeated 6 to i in six innings. The sec¬ ond game was played in a drizzling rain cated on a high bluff overlooking the great Mississippi River and was covered with closely cut Bermuda grass, but, with such spirit as the students exhibit¬ ed, the most needed improvements were a 20-foot board fence and a good roof over all. The members of the team enjoyed the trip greatly, played better ball than at any time on the home grounds, and made a good impre r sion for Texas A. and M. wherever they stopped. The next games scheduled were with T. C. U., but both were rained out. T. and was a victory for A. and M., i to o. Both these last games were slow and uninteresting. The second was character¬ ized only by some excellent pitching on Whipkey’s part. The inability of the Mutes to make a noise seems to at once put a damper on the spirits of everyone else. A review of the foregoing will show that the team was slow to get going, then snurted and slumped at regular intervals. For instance, Southwestern had a much better team than Trinity, and L. S. LT. had a better team than Tulane; yet the 237 weaker teams defeated A. and M., while the stronger did not. Austin College has for several years slipped up on our man¬ agers. The North Texas bunch play about fifteen games before they meet us, while we have only one, and that with a big League team. Austin College comes down in mid-season form while we have not yet picked the squad. Only once in recent years have we met them in the latter part of the season. That was in 1909, and we beat them decisively both derson, and outfielders Simmons and Dodson. These, together with such ex¬ cellent squad men as pitchers Anderson and Lott, infielders Williams, Collins, and McFarland, and outfielders Taylor and Vesmirosky, will form a nucleus for the team, while there will be many grad¬ uated from the Company League and numerous other Freshman stars. Among the Freshmen, catcher Neyland, of Greenville, outfielder Hudson, of Allen Academy, the Crockett brothers, of Pros- games, even with their two great pitchers, Malloy, now with the St. Louis Amer¬ icans, and Weatherford, now with Fort Worth in the Texas League, pitching on their own grounds. Our schedule in 1910 was very poor, but was the best Manager Ward could do under the circumstances. Schedules arc not easily made up, and even after a good one has been gotten, it may be smashed by one day’s mail. Prospects for 1911 are indeed brigh -. Seven “T” men will return: pitchers Whipkey and Moore, catcher Hohn. sec¬ ond baseman Puckett, shortstop Hel¬ per, Goodman brothers, of Peacock Mili¬ tary School, Bateman, of the same school, Kern, of football fame; Wathen, of Holy Trinity, Fuller, of Brady, in¬ fielder Roach, of Comanche, Morrow, of Texarkana, and many others not yet dis¬ covered, should make someone hustle for a place on the team. Manager Pool will attend the meeting of managers at Waco, January 7th, and promises to give us a good schedule. If he will give us seven or eight prac¬ tice games before the first college game, we will win the championship. Moran, Coach. Bittlk, Captain. Ward, Manager. Baseball Record, Season of 1910.

Bittle, our beloved little Captain, who was taken from us soon after the season ended, was one of the headiest players that ever wore the red and white. His work on the dia¬ mond during the season of 1910 was wonderful, considering the many difficulties under which he played. His studies, thesis, a badly wrenched ankle, an inexperienced team, and many other things, all combined to make his position one of the most difficult an A. and M. captain ever faced. He made many sacrifices for the good of the team, played a great game at third base, and fin¬ ished the season with the love and admiration of every man on the squad. His death was a severe blow and left sorrow in every heart; but there is a Great Umpire above whose decisions are never questioned. His will be done. EvERSBERG, the lanky outfielder and first baseman, at last came into his own during the sea¬ son of 1910. For two years he had batted about 6%, but early in the season he unearthed that long-looked-for bat. The stick in question had about as much wood in it as a box of matches and had probably been used by the campus kids, but it suited “Ote” and the psychical effect on him was wonderful. His batting average grew by leaps and bounds until the first Tulane game in New Orleans, when, after slashing out a three- bagger with the bases occupied, Otto discovered that his valuable bat was broken. From that time until the end of the season Eversberg took his three healthy swings—and walked to the water bucket. But seriously, “Ote” played a good game, both in the outfield and at first, used his head to good advantage, and could be depended on when a bunt was needed. Scott Moore, Captain-elect for 1911, is the most experienced and headiest player on the team. He came to us from Brady three years ago and jumped into the lime-light while, only a Freshman. When a Sophomore, Scott was one of the standbys on the pitching staff and improved with each season’s experience. While he is quite capable of holding down the initial sack, his long suit is the twirling act, being without doubt the headiest pitcher in college baseball. His ability to study the batter and keep him guessing has ruined many an ambitious hitter’s average. He will be hard to replace. Note. —Since asking “Dutch” Hohn to “write us up” and having received the above, we have decided that “Dutch” is not, as formerly thought, on the down grade. We think he is a very shrewd critic and an excellent judge of a ball-player. Moreover, we think he ought to be recommended for Lieutenant-Colonel next year. -—Athletic Editor. Henderson, the crack little shortstop, was one of the most valuable men on the team. He fielded his position like a veteran, made his throws fast and true, and by leading the team in batting, won the beautiful watch-fob given by Coach Moran. “Hen” was handicapped by a bad shoulder that persisted in jumping out of place at the least jar, but the gritty little player always came back. He was taken out of five or six games with his shoulder dislocated, but generally managed to get his hit before leaving, and as a result finished the season with the remarkable batting average of .416. His work was especial¬ ly brilliant in the Tulane games at New Orleans. Whipkey, alias “Rube” Waddell, made good after trying for two seasons. When he first ap¬ peared on the squad, it was dangerous to stay in the park with him on account of his wildness. This lack of control was all that kept “Rube” off the team, and, with his characteristic pluck and energy, he set about remedying the defect. His work throughout the season of 1910 was excel¬ lent and great things are expected of him during the coming season. “Rube’s” chief asset is his so-called “Lizzie ball,” an unequaled slow ball that sails up to the plate as dead as a brick. There are only two things against “Rube”: he smokes vile stogies and is left-handed. At that he is a top-notch pitcher and we think a great deal of him. Puckett, the famous “Chooter,” cavorted around the keystone sack, and to say that he got everything hit to his territory would be putting it mildly. To stab a hot grounder hit to his left, and under ordinary conditions a safe hit, was his delight. Two such plays in Louisiana, one at New Orleans the other at Baton Rouge, made the Pelicans sit up and take notice, and many were the inquiries as to who that “long-legged second baseman” was. While brilliant at times, “Chooter” was not a grandstand player. He was a steady, reliable fielder and could be depended upon at all times. At bat he was no Cobb or Wagner, but when he connected, it generally meant extra bases. Simmons, right fielder, hails from Coman¬ che, and is kin to Rufe Adams, but, in spite of these handicaps, showed as much class as any player on the team. His fielding was good, his throwing only fair, but at bat and on, the bases, “Sim” was the bright particular star. After learning how to “wait ' em out,” “Sim” was a great man to head the batting list. He was lightning fast on the bases and showed daring and ability to take advantage of the opponent’s slips seldom seen in a college player. His ability to get on the bases made him invaluable, and had there been the necessary hit following, many more games would have been on the right side than the record shows. Simmons was just out of high school and after his year’s experience in college baseball, he should be a wonder. Thompson, the hefty substitute catcher, was a graduate from the Company League. He was a good receiver and had a perfect peg to the bases. His throwing was erratic in the early games, due to a sore arm, but when right, “Fatty” had no equal in floating a ball up to the infielders. His throws were not slow, but were easy to handle, lacking that “heaviness” characteristic of many others. “Fatty” was sure death to a fast ball on the outside corner, hitting to right field with terrific force. Dodson, who alternated with Eversberg at first base and in the outfield, was shifted too much to perfect his play in any one position. However, he managed to fill the role of utility man in good style and was a valuable member of the team. He was one of the hardest working and most earnest players on the squad and de¬ serves great credit for his showing. At bat he was erratic, hitting like a fiend in some games and poorly in others. With last season’s general experience. Dodson should make things hum in 1911. Arneson, the pitcher with the bristles, won his “T” in two games last season. This fact alone shows that Eddie had class, for it is seldom that a player is awarded a letter for so few games. Arneson was Editor of the Long Horn and was unable to play baseball until the latter part of the season, but when he did find time to play, he made things hum. His work in the Baton Rouge game, when he defeated Louisiana State 6 to i, was a brilliant exhibition. While he lost his other game to Tulane 4 to 3, the class of pitching shown was far from the losing kind. Eddie’s long suit was “mixing them up” and his supply of slants was never quite exhausted. Hohn, the redoubtable “Dutch,” “arrived” in baseball as well as football in 1910—and he came in strong. When “Dutch” first appeared on the squad in 1909, he showed considerable in¬ herent ability, but he was about as graceful as a hippopotamus and covered about as much ground as a geranium. In 1910, however, “Dutch” don¬ ned the catcher’s mask and protector and became a fixture on the team from the jump. His re¬ ceiving was excellent and his throwing accurate, but his greatest value lay in the manner in which he outguessed the opposing team. He made a close study of the batters and was a tower of strength to his battery mate. During the latter part of the season it was almost impossible to steal on “Dutch,” and his unequaled “pep” and “ginger” made him the popular favorite. 243 The Substitutes. Darst, Williams, Vesmirosky, McFarland, Anderson, Stimson, Taylor, Collins, and Lott, all deserve special mention for their work on the squad. All of these men played in one or more games and not one failed to make a good showing. Outfielder Darst would have been awarded a “T” hut for the fact that he was ineligible for association games, having played with Oklahoma A. and M. the previous year. Darst has no peer as a fielder and thrower and shows promise of improvement in hitting. Third baseman Williams showed good form in handling ground balls and was a fair hitter. His greatest fault was a failure to handle throws properly when a runner was coming in to the bag. If he can overcome his fear of the runner’s spikes, he will make a good third baseman. Vesmirosky showed considerable ability as a hitter and with a little more experience will make a valuable man. He was the only Farmer to con¬ nect for a home run during the past season. McFarland, though somewhat erratic, prom¬ ises to become a finished player before many sea¬ sons have passed. He is rather weak with the stick, but is a left-handed batter and gets away fast. Pitcher Anderson is the coming star, so far as pitchers are concerned. His speed is terrific and his control good. All he needs is a curve ball or change of pace. His fast ball is unhitable for five innings, but no pitcher can get away with a fast ball alone. The batters begin to gauge its speed after four or five innings, and then it’s all up. With a curve or slow ball to change up on, however, the pitcher can keep the batter guessing. Stimson proved a valuable substitute for Henderson when the latter was injured. Al¬ though somewhat unsteady in pinches, he gen¬ erally played a good game at short. Taylor is a good outfielder, a fair hitter, and can be depended on at all times to keep his head. His greatest fault is the lack of “pep” he displays. Collins is quite young in baseball and prom¬ ises to become one of the best players in the Col¬ lege after he has gained experience. He is a bet¬ ter hitter now than some members of the team, but is too erratic in his fielding and throwing. Time will remedy these defects. Lott is a cool, heady pitcher with quite an assortment of shoots and slants. He is also de¬ veloping a spit-ball that looks good. THE 1911 The Courtship of a Son of Swat. They were seated in the parlor and the lights were burning dim; He was a diamond hero—she a fan quite fair and trim. But they knew not, as he opened up the game by murmuring, Love!” That father was the umpire on the stairway just above. “I like your form,” he led off first; “with me you’ve made a hit; You Ve got the curve, you Ve got the speed, and you are looking lit. Now, if with you, my turtle dove, I make a hit likewise, Won’t you improve my single state and make a sacrifice?” “I ’ll never play too far off base,” he whispered in her ear; “My salary whip has got the stuff to put ’em over, dear; Just give the signal for a ‘steal,’ and I ’ll no longer roam, And when I slide into the plate, please call me safe at home.” “I Ve got to have the dope complete,” the maiden softly sighed; “Show me your batting average in Mr. Bradstreet’s guide; It takes a lot of speed these days, with cunning and intrigue, To win a battle now and then within the Grocers’ League.” “But give me errorless support”—his heart here took a bound— “And let me live in big league style, and I may come around; Unwrap the tangle from the dope and you can cop the bet We’ll play a double header, pal, on any date you set.” ( He started warming up at once, and with a happy sigh He whipped a fast one round her neck—the other was waist high; But here the umpire butted in. She said, “O father, please Don’t call him out; he’s showing me the way they work the ‘squeeze.’ ” The old man gave an irate snort and said, “I ’ll help the fun By showing him another play that’s called ‘the hit and run.’ ” He swung like Wagner at his best—a soul-inspiring clout; The Son of Swat slid down the steps; the umpire yelled, “You ’re out! — E.v. 245 246 THE TRACK TEAM, 1910 . Review of the Track Season. To say that track prospects for 1910 were far from bright would be putting it mildly. In the first place, no suitable coach seemed available. High - class coaches were scarce and most of these had permanent positions with the larger schools. Moreover, only three veterans of the 1909 team were on hand and in¬ terest in track events was at a low ebb. Captain McGhee was a great little quarter-miler, Hooker held the South- rose considerably. At least, we would have a coach with the necessary ability and experience. The genial Doctor set to work with a will, and his quiet, earnest coaching brought results. In a short time, the new men, Abbott, Janies, Johnson, Laake, Schaedel, Simmons, Braunig, Burleson, King, McDowell, Waters, Scofield, and Miller, were showing up in great style and gave promise of filling the numerous western record for the shot-put, and Mc¬ Donald was easily the best hurdler in the State; but men for the dashes, the dis¬ tance events, the high and broad jumps, the discus and the hammer, were un¬ known quantities. For the pole vault, Johnson and James were two men who were expected to win their event. Upon the arrival of Dr. McLaughlin, however, the spirits of track enthusiasts vacancies caused by graduation. Prob¬ ably no other track squad ever developed at A. and M. exhibited as much enthusi¬ asm and determination to win. Fvery member of the squad trained hard and looked forward ta the time when he could pit his skill and endurance against that of some rival. Moreover, the men show¬ ed a desire to gDn the correct form in their work, something the majority of in- THE; 1911 experienced track men are wont to neg¬ lect and the importance of which too many underestimate. The weight and distance men began training late in January, while the entire squad reported February i. It was sev¬ eral weeks later, however, before the training table was established, and the men were put to hard training. The month of March was spent in gaining the coveted form and developing speed and endurance. By the 15th of April, the track men were going at a fast clip, and a dual meet with the fast Allen Academy bunch was arranged. The Academy team which later won the Inter - Scholastic championship, was of course out of its class, but put up a game fight and gave the College team the desired practice. A. and M. scored a total of 101 2-3 points, while Allen Academy scored 25 1-3. In the 220-yard dash McGhee was an easy winner; Tooke, of Allen, won sec¬ ond place, and Love joy, of Allen, won third; time, :24 4-5. In the 440-yard dash Burleson was first, Bell second, and Ross, of Allen, third; time, :57. Laake won the 880-yard, with Braunig second and Ingram third, Allen Academy not placing in this event. McDowell won the mile race in great style; Braunig came second, and Bird¬ song, of Allen, third; time, 5:16. 250 THE 191! LOMHORH Abbott won the high jump at 5 feet 5 inches. Baylor and King tied with Grice, of Allen, for second place. In the low hurdles McDonald was, of course, an easy winner; Baylor ran sec¬ ond, and Seale, of A. A., third. “Me” also won the high hurdles, with Abbott second, and Baylor third. Johnson won first in the pole vault; Abbott was second, and McCullough, of A. A., third. McGhee won the broad jump; Sim¬ mons was second and Abbott third. Hooker easily won the discus, with Lovejoy, of A. A., second, and Seale, of A. A., third. Distance, 104 feet 8 inches. Hooker, putting the 16-pound shot, won over Lovejoy and Seale, of A. A. who were using the 12-pound shot. McDonald won the 100 - yard dash ; Tooke, of A. A. was second, and Love¬ joy, of A. A., third; time, :io 3-5. McGhee won the 50-yard dash ; Tooke, of A. A., took second, and McDonald third; time, :5 3-5. In the relay race A. and M. won, but the fast Allen Academy team put up a great race. This meet served to keep the track men from getting stale and also showed some defects that were remedied before the Inter-Collegiate meet at Sherman. McGhee, McDonald, Hooker, and John¬ ston showed that they would easily win their events against any competition in the State; while Abbott in the high jump, McDowell in the mile, Laake in the half- mile. and Burleson in the quarter showed 25 1 great promise. Of the Allen Academy men, i ' ooke probably showed the most class. From now on there was little time wasted. McLaughlin put the men under rigid training rules and worked hard to get the team in readiness for the Inter- Collegiate meet at Sherman. By May nth the men were in the pink of condition and left for Sherman con¬ fident of victory. They expected to com¬ pete against teams from Baylor, T. C. U., University of Texas, and others, but Baylor and T. C. U. did not seem inter¬ ested, while the University showed no inclination to take any chances of losing their Southern championship won at Birmingham. There were only two other schools represented in the meet. These were Southwestern and Austin College. Moreover, the track was very slow and the equipment rather poor. At first it looked as if the meet would be a frost, but when McDonald smashed the Southern record for the low hurdles, Hooker came within 2-10 of an inch of the Southern record for the shot, and the mile race furnished a close and ex¬ citing finish, the meet proved far from featureless. The A. and M. team won the cham¬ pionship in a walk, scoring 76 points while Southwestern scored 36 and Aus¬ tin College 23 points. A. and AT. won ten first places, five seconds, and six thirds. Johnston should have broken the Southern record for the pole vault, but, owing to the fact that the regulation equipment was not used, the record was not allowed. The following are the events and the records: 120-yard Hurdles—AIcDonald. A. and AT., first; McGhee, A. and AT., second; Abbott, A. and AT., third; time, 0:15 3-5. 100-yard Dash—Headrick, Southwest¬ ern, first; AIcGhee, A. and Al., second; Schaedel, A. and M., third; time, 0:10 1-5. 16—pound Shot-put—Hooker, A. and AT., first; Headrick, Southwestern, sec¬ ond; Schaedel, A. and M., third; dist¬ ance, 39 feet 7 inches. 880-yard Run—Laake, Braunig, In¬ gram, all of A. and M.; time, 2 :i2. Discus—Hooker, A. and M. 4 first; Headrick, Southwestern, second; Me- bane, Austin College, third; distance, 112 feet 7J4 inches. 220-yard Dash—Voight, Southwestern, first; Headrick, Southwestern, second; Aliller, A. and AT., third; time, 0:23 2-5. One-mile Run—Eagleton, Austin Col¬ lege, first; ATcDowell, A. and AT., second; Waters, A. and M., third; time, 4:59 3-5. Running High Jump—James, A. and AT., first; Smith, Austin College, second; Headrick, Southwestern, third; height, 5 feet 4L2 inches. 440 - yard Dash — Burleson, A. and AT., first; McGhee, A. and AT., second; Voight, Southwestern, third; time, 0:55. 220-yard Hurdles—ATcDonald, A. and AT. College. The victory of the A. and AT. track men was somewhat dimmed by that of the University of Texas, the latter winning the Southern championship, so a dual meet with the Chesty Boys was pro¬ posed. Naturally, they declined. No doubt, had the two teams met, it would h ave been a great struggle, for they were evenly matched. The track season ended with this meet, although the members of the team kept training a week or so after, in the hope that ’Varsity would accept the challenge. The 191 t Track Team will be without ATcDonald, Hooker, Johnston, Simmons, Braunig, and Ingram, but will have Bur- 252 TV£ 1911 leson, a coming champion quarter-miler; Waters, a promising and hard-working miler; Abbott, good in the high jump and hurdles; Laake, a half-mile man; Schae- del, a great weight man; Miller and Bell for the 440-yard; Schofield, a weight man; King, a high jumper; James, a pole vaulter; and McDowell, a mile runner with wonderful possibilities. Besides these, are many high school and academy stars, such as Eagleston, of Carlisle; Dreiss, of San Antonio; Washington, of Austin; Birdsong, of Allen Academy; and others too numerous to mention. With such material A. and M. should again win the championship. 2.53 JOHNSON VAULTING ELEVEN FEET. 254 McLaughlin, Coach. McGhee, Captain. Looney, Manager. Track Record, Season of 1910. April 15th, Dual meet with Allen Academy, winners of the State champion¬ ship in the Inter-Scholastic meet. Score: A. and M., 101 2-3. Allen Academy, 25 1-3. April 12th, annual Texas Inter-Col¬ legiate track meet at Sherman. A. and M. won championship. Score: A. and M., 76. Southwestern, 36. Austin College, 20. McDonald broke Southwestern record for 120-yard hurdles. Time, 15 3-5. Hooker equals Southern record for 16-pound shot-put. Distance, 39 feet 7 inches. 2 55 Track Team McGhee, who hails from El Paso, was one of the most enthusiastic and hard-working Cap¬ tains that ever led an A. and M. team to vic¬ tory. Whether or not a diet of tamales and chile is conducive to great speed and endurance we are unable to say, but in this case at least the El Paso product proved to be the stuff. McGhee was a great little quarter-miler, ran the 100 in 10 1-5 seconds, was a tower of strength to the relay team, and was a broad jumper of no mean ability. His conscientious training and never-say-die spirit furnished an incentive to his team-mates that can hardly be over-estimated. He entered five events in the Inter-Collegiate meet at Sherman, exhibiting powers of endur¬ ance rarely seen in Texas. Although re-elected Captain for 1911, McGee will not return, having accepted a position as draughtsman in west Tex¬ as. He will be hard to replace. McDonald was undoubtedly the grittiest track man that has represented A. and M. in many moons. Although continually running up against a bunch of hard luck, “Me” always came out on top, and at least one of his stunts will be remembered for years to come. We refer to the 120-yard hurdles event at the Inter-Collegiate meet when “Me” broke the Southern record; time, 0:15 flat. Even then he was handicapped by a badly sprained ankle sustained in the pole vault a short time before. His form was per¬ fect, and when he flashed across the tape a win¬ ner, he was given a great ovation. Not satis¬ fied with this, the gritty “Me,” though suffering intensely from his injury, proceeded to win the 220-yard hurdles in great style. McDonald was no slouch in the pole vault, but his specialty was the hurdles, and his many records in that event place him in a class by himself in so far as Southwestern athletes are concerned. Hooker, the giant tackle and a man of un¬ limited strength, could always be depended upon to win his event, the shot-put. Standing 6 feet 3 inches in height and weighing 200 pounds, Hooker was almost perfect in physique, and his numerous records with the discus and shot stamp him as a weight man par excellence. In the Texas Inter-Collegiate meet at Sherman, this 200-pound ccmbination of brain, nerve, and muscle not only won first place in the discus, but also broke the State record for the 16-pound shot, coming within two-tenths of an inch of the Southern record. He has been winning (first place in the shot-put for several years now, and not once has he been compelled to extend him¬ self in order to retain the honors. SchaedEL, a 205-pounder who won his spurs in football during the past season, proved to be an able weight man. When he first appeared on the track squad, he had only a fine physique and a strong desire to make good. His work with the discus, shot, and hammer steadily im¬ proved, and by the time the team left for Sher¬ man, the big fellow was making good records, especially in the hammer throw. Schaedel won the latter event over the mighty Headrick, of Southwestern, hurling the 16-pound hammer a distance of m feet 2 inches. He also won third place in the shot-put, Hooker placing first. Schaedel is not only a splendid athlete, but is also breaking some records in his studies and is making good in every respect. Braunig won his “T” through hard, con¬ sistent training and an unwavering determina¬ tion to win. Though not very large, “Vic” gen¬ erally managed to negotiate the half-mile in good time. At the Inter-Collegiate meet, he won second place in this event and ran an excel¬ lent race in the relay. The time for the latter event was 3 142 2-5 and the A. and M. team won the race. Laake, Braunig, Burleson, and Mc¬ Ghee were the members, and the success was due, in no small degree, to Braunig’s splendid running. James, who has been elected Captain for 1911 in place of McGhee, who failed to return, was somewhat handicapped during the season of 1909 on account of having a fractured “slat,” but his work last season was up to date in every respect. James and Johnston are easily the best vaulters in the State. In fact, there is not an¬ other man in Texas in their class. James can easily clear ti feet and has held the State record for several years. This record-breaker runs to smiles and the accompanying picture is the re¬ sult of the fourteenth pose. The other thirteen were not near “cute” enough. Abbott, the fast little quarter-back who made such a fine showing during the past football season, entered A. and M. at the begin¬ ning of the winter term, 1910. He possessed considerable natural ability, but needed coaching. McLaughlin soon brought him around, however, and he did great work in the high jump and hurdles. At the Inter-Collegiate meet, Abbott won first place in the high jump; height, 5 feet 4V2 inches. He also won third place in the 120- yard hurdles. With a little more coaching, this boy should be a sensation. Johnson, of silk-pants fame, is a former Allen Academy star. He generally ties with James in the pole vault, bun in the ln:,er-Col- legiate meet, with “Kidd-Key” looking on, Jim¬ mie proceeded to vault 11 feet 6 inches, break¬ ing the Southern record. Ordinarily James would have equaled Jimmie’s record, but the latter just had to win at Sherman. No doubt those brand-new silk running pants with the cute little red stripe down the side, also had something to do with his desperate effort. Burlhson proved to be the find of the sea¬ son in track. This long-legged boy hails from San Saba and gained his early experience chas¬ ing rabbits over the rough country near his home. He was an unknown quantity when he first reported for practice, but in a short time was picked as a coming star. Burleson has a long, smooth stride and is due to break some records in the quarter-mile. At the Inter-Col¬ legiate meet he won first place in the ouarter- mile, defeating Captain McGhee by a narrow margin. He was also a valuable member of the winning relay team. Laake, the “Flying Dutchman,” put up such a race at Sherman that the only competitor en¬ tered by a rival school dropped out of the race at the end of the first lap. Laake is not only a miler of ability, but is. a well-read young man. Being asked whether or not he had read Scott’s “Lady of the Lake,” Laake replied that he had not; but when he was asked if he had read “Scott’s Emulsion,” he promptly answered in the affirmative. 359 Our Coaches. Chas. B. Moran came to A. and M. in the fall of 1909 as trainer and assistant football coacli. i he younger generation knew little oi him, except that riai Mosely, a former A. and M. footoau captain, had recommended him highly. However, his athletic career and wonder¬ ful coaching ability were soon to become familiar to every lover of Athletics. In the early days of the Texas .League, Moran was the most valuable player of the circuit. He played with CieDurne, Fort Worth, Dallas, and various other teams. He lead the League in hitting and was recognized as the best utility man in the South, being able to play any pos - tion on the diamond and play it well. He managed the Dallas Giants one year ana piloted them to victory, winning the Tex¬ as League pennant. A man of such ex¬ traordinary ability could hardly remain in a small league, and Savannah, of the South Atlantic League, secured his serv¬ ices. From Savannah he went to Louis¬ ville, in the Southern League, and later returned to Savannah. He was drafted by the St. Louis Nationals and played one season with that team, catching such pitchers as the famous “Bugs” Raymond. During this time he was spending the fall and winter playing football. His early experience in the game had been gained at Nashville Military Institute and the University of Tennessee. Later he became one of the famous Massillon Tigers, the greatest football team ever developed in the United States. It was this team that defeated the All-Ameri¬ can Club two seasons. Fie coached the University of Ten¬ nessee and other colleges in the North, and coached athletic clubs in various places such as Dallas. In 1909, at the request of Flal Mosely, of Dallas, Moran came to A. and M. to train the football team. After the first game of the sea¬ son he was appointed head Coach and proceeded to develop an All-Southwest¬ ern team. In 1910 he was appointed Di¬ rector of Athletics and coached both the baseball and football teams. His success with the football team need not be mentioned. Taken all in all, Moran’s coaching ha; been the best ever seen in Texas. Two factors which are probably more respon¬ sible for his success in football than any other are: first, he puts a never-say-die spirit into his men tnat will always win; and second, he develops the most beau¬ tiful interference imaginable. He asks no player to do anything he can not and will not do himself. He holds the con¬ fidence and lasting friendship of his men, compels their admiration and keeps them going at top speed. Moreover, he is the type of rough-and-ready man that har¬ monizes well with the A. and M. student. On the field no pink tea tactics are in evidence, while at any other time he is as kind and obliging as could be asked. He is a trainer par excellence, knows football and baseball from A to Z, and, above all, gets results. We emphatically declare that our Coach is the “best ever.” L. H. Andrews, Yale ’07, was our as¬ sistant football Coach. “Andy” played guard and tackle on the Yale eleven, and, after graduating, coached Nebraska, Grinnell, and other colleges in the West. Fie was with the Yale squad two weeks before coming to A. and M., was present at the meeting of the Rules Committee, and blew into College Station with the very latest football knowledge to be obtained. Off the field, “Andy” was a big, good- natured bear; but once on the gridiron he became strictly business, and the won¬ derful showing made by the A. and M. line must be partly attributed to his ex¬ cellent coaching. Considering the fact that “Andy” had been disappointed in love just before leaving Boston, his wo k was wonderful. Good track coaches are usually scarce in Texas, but A. and M. Athletic Asso¬ ciation made a ten-strike in their selec¬ tion for 1910. Dr. McLaughlin was a man of ex¬ perience and ability. In 1903 he was a member of the University of Illinois track team and held the indoor high jump record of 6 feet. After leaving Illinois, he joined the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A. and won the national Y. M. C. A. Mara¬ thon race, setting a new record. Later he joined the Cincinnati Athletic Club, remaining with them four years. In 1006 he held the A. A. record for the high jump. McLaughlin sported enough medals to start a mint, and he deserved another for his excellent work with our track team. Company Athletics. The “Company League” is one of the most important organizations at the Col¬ leg e, as far as Athletics is concerned. It furnishes the player who is not skilled enough to make the College team a chance not only to engage in his favorite sport, but even to become possessed of considerable fame, for great interest is taken in Company contests and a fair crowd is generally in attendance. Its greatest value, however, lies in the fact that the Company League consti¬ tutes a feeder for the College team. Stu¬ dents who never saw a football before are given a chance to learn the game, gradually develop speed, skill, and en¬ durance, and finally become material for the College team. The greater the num¬ ber of men playing the game, the better will be the material to pick from. A third benefit of the Company ccntests is that they furnish amusement and rec¬ reation during the time between Inter- Collegiate contests, which must neces¬ sarily come at intervals. With eight Companies in the Regi¬ ment, each Company was able to put out both a baseball and football team. In baseball, however, some difficulty was ex¬ perienced in playing out a well-balanced schedule. When four more Companies were added to the Regiment, making twelve in all, it was impossible to arrange the schedule satisfactorily. Battalion teams were then organized, the four Companies of each Battalion being repre¬ sented by one team. While this does not enable as large a number of players to engage in the games, it raises the stand¬ ard of the teams and removes the many difficulties encountered in playing out an extended schedule. Each Company contributes $10.00 to the treasury of the “League” and at the end of the season the members of the winning team are awarded handsome sweaters bearing the Company letter. After Battalion Athletics were inaugu¬ rated, the sweaters bore the Battalion numeral. The 1910 baseball championship was won by F Company of the Second Bat¬ talion, after B Company, of the First Battalion, had apparently cinched first place. B Company started the season at a fast clip and kept it up until it seemed that they would win in a walk. F Company, after a poor start, struck their gait and, with not a game to spare, tied B Com- pany in the last games of the schedule. On account of the approach of examina¬ tions, only one game was played between the leaders to decide the championship. F Company, by pounding Ashford for eleven hits, including a home run, a three- 261 THE 1911 bagger, a two-bagger, and. seven singles, easily defeated B Company and won the championship. Both G and D Compa¬ nies were represented by well-balanced teams and should have been in the race at all times, but for some reason neither could strike its stride. The pitching of Ashford and Hemp¬ hill, the hitting of Watkins and Garrett, and the catching of Felt during the sea¬ son deserve special mention. The “Battalion Football League” was organized late in October with the Bat¬ talion adjutants as team managers. The following rules were adopted: No man shall be allowed to play who has represented the College in any Inter- Collegiate contest. Any man who left the squad of his own accord is ineligible. The quarters shall consist of 10 min¬ utes each. Twenty-five dollars shall be deposited by each Battalion for sweaters for the winning team, and three dollars and twenty-five cents for footballs. Official Referee, James Sullivan; Um¬ pire, E. F. Gochenour; Field Judge, R. J. Potts; Head Linesman, B. Frazier. The adjutant of each Battalion shall be manager for his team, the sergeant- major assistant manager, and the two shall be responsible for all equipment. H. M. Pool was elected President of the “League” and the following schedule adopted: Wednesday, November 9th—First vs. Second Battalion. Saturday, November 12th—Second vs. Third Battalion. Wednesday, November 16th—Third vs. First Battalion. Saturday, November 19th—First vs. Second Battalion. Wednesday, November 23d—Second vs. Third Battalion. Saturday, November 26th—Third vs. First Battalion. The First Battalion team showed su¬ perior strength from the start and easily won the championship. This may have been due to the fact that there were more old Company players in the First Bat¬ talion than in any ot her. Every position on the team was well taken care of, not excepting that of manager, a position honored by Mr. K. M. Trigg, of speech¬ making fame. King, Bransom, Young, Martin, Lacy, Goodman, Brundrett, Cole¬ man, Scott, Frazier, Shaw, Saunders, and the various subs all played well. 262 “A” COMPANY BASEBALL TEAM Seated, left to right: Schaefer, o. f .; Cousins, c.; O’Conner, o. f .; Levy, s. s. ; Davis, 2 b. ; Moore, o. f .; Lacy, o. f .; Eppright, p. ; Sanford, 1 b.

The greatest inter-scholastic track meet ever held in Texas took i.Lce at Kyle Field, April 20-21, 1910. This meet v r as held under the direction ot tire A. and M. College Athletic Association and was a success throughout. Its purpose is to broaden and harmonize the relations be¬ tween A. and M. and the various high schools and academies of the State. The A. and M. College Athletic Asso¬ ciation furnishes all necessary equip¬ ment and officials, entertains the visiting athletes without expense, and pays the railroad fare of six men from each school. It is an annual affair. Fifteen schools were represented in 1910: Beaumont High School, Nacog¬ doches High School, San Antonio Higii School, Allen Academy, Waco High School, Belton High School, Temple High School, Dallas High School, Hous¬ ton .High School, Carlisle Military Ac¬ ademy, Austin Bligh School, Houston Heights, Bryan High School, Marlin High School, and Peacock Military School. As the teams arrived they were taken in charge by the various A. and M. clubs; the Dallas Club entertaining the Dallas High School team, the Houston Club the Houston Heights team, etc. They were quartered in the various dormitories with their friends and were made to feel perfectly at home. The preliminaries were run Friday and went through without a hitch. By 4 o’clock the work of determining those qualified to compete in the finals was finished, with the exception of the dash¬ es, and the visitors were escorted to the drill-ground, where they witnessed dress parade given in their honor. A large crowd witnessed the running of the finals on Friday and quite a bit of excitement prevailed. Each team had its friends and admirers in the grand¬ stand and these friends rooted hard for their favorites . Allen Academy, although she won only four first places in addition to the relay, won the championship with a score of 56 points. Allen entered a large num¬ ber of men and their many second and third places helped to boost the total score. Carlisle Military Academy, with 31 points, came second and made an ex¬ cellent showing. The following are the scores of the other contestants: Pea¬ cock Military School, 19; Temple High School, 11; San Antonio High School, 11; Dallas High School, 6; Beaumont High School, 4; Marlin High School, 3; Nacogdoches High School, 2; Belton High School, 1. The winning team, Allen Academy, was awarded a costly cup besides a silk banner for the relay race, while all win¬ ners of first places were given a gold medal, winners of second places, silver medals, and winners of third places, bronze medals. After the meet, the A. and M. High School Association was organized. It was decided that the academies and high schools should compete separately, as the former were too strong for the high schools. Accordingly, an executive com¬ mittee composed of three A. and M. of¬ ficials and one each from the high schools and academies, was appointed. J. L. Heard, of Temple, and J. M. Carlisle, of Carlisle Military Academy, were the members elected. It was also decided to hold an annual oratorical contest on the night after the track meet. Of the many stars who took part in the Inter - Scholastic meet, Eagleston, Dreiss, Washington, Birdsong, James, and Roberts are making good at A. and M. and promise ' to become famous in Inter-Collegiate circles.

(an explosive cannoneer). (common or garden variety of “fish”). Scene: Tent 124 and neighborhood thereof. ACT I. Scene i. Kraut and Peanuts discovered lolling negligently in their palatial “Bordeaux. Kraut is discussing matrimony in all its forms, while Peanuts snores miserably. Kraut : When I get married, I ’m go¬ ing to have an ice-chest in my house with sixteen compartments and about eleven kinds of boo— Peanuts : It sure is cold in here. Kraut (at top of 7 ' oice) : Hey, you --“fish” ! Come in here. Enter Paytun immediately. Kraut: Go and get me about ’steen cords of wood, and be sure it’s small enough to go in my stove. Next time you bring any as big as that (pointing to zvood-box), I ’ll get my belt and take about ten yards of hide off the half-sole of your back. Paytun: Yes, sir, Mr. Sentfor; yes, sir. At once, sir. Exit Paytun in a trot. Peanuts rises and fills his pipe, using KrautN tobacco for same and going in¬ to Robinson’s tent to borrozv a match. Returning, he stands in front of stove and scorches his trousers. When they are thoroughly scorched and the fumes rise to his brain, he slops over as follows: Peanuts: I stood at the tooom of the gr-r-eat Napoleon. And as I stood there I saw the star-r-r-r-r of his des¬ tiny which rose so gloriously at Auster- litz and set so- ( Curtain ,) Note. —We had to have a curtain here to choke Peanuts off, or he would be going yet. ACT XL Scene i. Curtain rising discovers Peanuts gasping for breath as a result of his last explosion and glaring longingly at an empty kerosene bottle in a corner. Kraut is zvrithing in the agony of a periodical attack of the jimmies. Enter Captain Andrew Aaron. Peanuts instantly recovers and steps innocently betzveen the Captain and the empty kerosene bottle. Kraut rolls off the bed on to the floor, but hits right side up and cojnes to attention with his back to the wall and one foot in the water- bucket. Captain Andrew Aaron : Good morning. Mr. Sentfor. Good morning, 334 Air. Runoff. How are you this morning? Yes, yes; I understand fully. See? Air. Sentfor, remove your feet from that bucket. These buckets are college prop¬ erty—your college !—your State !—they should be respected as such. Air. Run¬ off, have you a match? Peanuts: Naw, I ain’t; but there’s a fire in the stove—help yourself. Captain Andrew Aaron : Thank you ; thank you. I —er—believe I ’ll— er—smoke later. [This is an evident fact, but we didn’t think he’d confess it.] Air. Sentfor, I dropped in this morning to discuss a few matters in re¬ gard—er—to the—er general welfare and—er—discipline of the—er—corps of cadets. I understand that there has been —er—some hazing going on and—er— some Freshmen have been performing menial—er—duties for the older boys and—er—so on. Look into this, ' Air. Sentfor, and see that the little boys are protected and that the general—er— pomme de terre and—er— au gratin of the corps is preserved. Understand? Kraut: Yes, siree! Whenever I catch any guy getting gay with a “fish,” I sure sting him. Look at that ram book —over half full and only two months gone. You ’re right, I sting ’em every time they get their heads out. Captain Andrew Aaron : Yess, yess. I see ! I see ! I understand fully ! That ’« right! Fight them to the last ditch ! Sit on the lid! Enter Paytun, who does not see Captain Andrew Aaron, but dumps wood in corner with a crash and turns to Kraut, who is making pantomime signs with mouth and ears and trying to stand at attention at the same time. Peanuts: Air. Sentfor, please, sir. I couldn’t find anv little wood. Air. Rio Lauderdale’s “fish” has got it all and Air. Rip said for me to go to the devil. Kraut: Yes—ah—that’s all right, dear. Now run along and play—ah— that’s a nice little boy—er—oh !!! Peanuts falls backwards out of his chair in the corner with one hand grasp¬ ing a leg of the stove and the other on the kerosene bottle. Paytun turns and sees Captain Andrew Aaron. Paytun : Well, I’m ruined now. Exit Paytun with Captain Andrew Aaron in close pursuit. Kraut faints and Peanuts rises and sadly fans him zvith the ram book. (Curtain.) ACT III. Scene i. Kraut discovered trying to get out of tent. Peanuts holds on to his coat-tail and Kraut drags him around the tent. Kraut finally breaks out, and Peanuts sits down and sobs. Peanuts : He’s gone and done it now! See how my lily-white hands are soiled by coming in contact with his con¬ taminating coat-tail. Wonder what my Felucie would think if she knew I was in such reprehensible company. Enter Kraut dragging “fish” Paytun by the ear. The “fish” is squawking mis¬ erably, while Kraut splutters like Hy. Louwein’s circuit-breaker. Kraut: You gee-swizzily-gol-dusted- puissallanimous apology for a dodgasted wiggle-tail! What did you mean by bust¬ in’ in here when the Bull was around? Brig, gimme my belt and razor strop; I want to knock the spots out of the portico of this “fish’s” pantaloons. Kraut secures belt and commences this interesting operation. Peanuts climbs to top of zvardrobe and gases on the faces below zvith mingled azve and admiration. Dust rises and obscures the combat¬ ants and the air around the tents turns a pale blue. The noises sound like a com¬ bination of a broken windmill, a sailors’ reunion, and a cattle - branding. Poor “fish”! 335 General Orders No. 407 For the benefit of those cadets to whom the uniforms prescribed in the Blue Book are objectionable, the Committee on Uniforms has adopted an additional uniform, and all cadets are cautioned to take congnizance of same. This uniform shall be known as uniform No. 4 and shall consist of various combinations of uniforms Nos. 1, 2, and 3 and all citizens’ clothes in possession of the individual cadets. 1. For the Artillery Corps, uniform No. 4 shall consist of regulation trousers, either tan or black shoes; campaign hat or forage cap; the cap to be worn when company hats are worn by the Corps and vice versa; turn-down collars with pur¬ ple ties like Puckett wears are permis¬ sible when the blouse is worn; when the blouse is not worn, the Cannoneers may wear shirts with sleeves cut off, as per Don Lee; or sleeves rolled up, as per grateful Wood; the blouse may be omit¬ ted at Chapel formation, as per Thalman. 2. For Charmers, uniform No. 4 shall consist of citizens’ trousers, corduroy preferable, or regulation trousers; soft shirts with dynamite ties; when No. 2 is worn by the Corps, campaign hat with the Rough Rider or Montana crush; non¬ regulation Texas hats, per Grote, are per¬ missible; citizens’ caps are permissible. Tan shoes and dancing pumps are at all times in good form; by no means should a Charmer wear a regulation collar with No. 1. 3. For athletes and “would be” ath¬ letes, uniform No. 4 shall consist of any trousers non - regulation, either yellow corduroys or other citizens’ trousers; sweaters and soft shirts; no collars; if collar is used, it must be turned down. The blouse must not be worn; athletes must not wear either hats or caps; go bare-headed—follow Ned Merriam. These rules are to be strictly enforced and commissioned officers shall govern themselves accordingly. To the President. Through The Bull: Mister ,—We want you to make Peanuts quit ramming us, because we think we are a little better than most people and almost as good as white folks; also we don’t want to march to meals because the grave ls on the walk tickle our feet. If you don’t do this, we ’ll get Thalman to do something right mean to you. Through The Commandant of Cadets: Sir ,—We respectfully request your permission to go to town without a fur¬ lough and to wear citizens’ clothes whenever we want to. The ladies rush us so much that we seldom have time to write furloughs and a uniform doesn’t suit our complexions. We also wish to wear red and yellow ties and tan shoes.

Accommodation Committee. 340 Chemistry of the Charmers According to the Scheme of Study. DISCOVERY. The Charmers were first recognized as a distinct species by the Superintendent of the State Insane Asylum, who dis¬ covered them among the inmates by a process described below. OCCURRENCE. Few Charmers occur naturally, as most of the species is formed by a combina¬ tion of egotism and vanity. Their com¬ position is 54 per cent vanity, 18 per cent egotism, i per cent dress, and 10 per cent water on the brain. In past ages the evaporation of common sense from their craniums left this combination. A few specimens are found in all class¬ es of society, however much society may try to eliminate them. None of the Charmer family are of any practical use to anybody but themselves. PREPARATION. No human can make a Charmer of any thing but himself, but an exact imitation can be made as follows: Take a good soft piece of 2x4-inch pine, and about 6 inches from one end nail a cross-piece. Cover cross - piece with a plaid coat. Place a turnip on end of the 2x4 and have a dinky hat on top of this. Tack a pair of peg-top trousers at bottom of the 2x4 and you have a good representa¬ tion of a Charmer. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. A Charmer has a loose, ungainly form. a head resembling a navy bean, highly padded coats, extreme peg-top trousers, explosive colored socks and a very dis¬ agreeable odor, caused by the large amounts of cologne and cheap talcum powder absorbed by it. The love-sick ardor of a Charmer can¬ not be cooled even at—273 degrees. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. Charmers have a marked affinity for alfalfa queens, wooden shoes, brickyard blondes, and hash - slingers. They will take up with anybody who is good nat- ured enough to let them. The smallest drop of success introduced into their operations makes them more active. A Charmer can be discovered as fol¬ lows: If you wear a piece of red or green calico in front of it and its eyes become crossed and it begins to act like Jim Carson picking up a 10-cent piece, you can say right off that it is a Charmer. USES OF CHARMERS. Charmers are used in large cities for decorating (?) street corners and the front of moving picture shows, while in the country they shine brilliantly at quilt¬ ing parties and spelling bees. It was once thought that a Charmer had been found doing something useful, but afterward it was proven that it was not a real Charmer, but an Irish ditch- digger. 34 i The Frog Primer. THE DRESS SUIT. See the dress suit. Is there anything under the dress suit? Yes, look closely and you will see a small boy covered by it. Will the dress suit hurt the boy? No, the dress suit will not hurt the boy, for he is beyond that. Why does the boy wear the dress suit? The boy is an Elk. Elks and men sometimes wear dress suits. Boys always desire to wear long trousers before the time comes, be¬ cause their fathers wear them. These suits are worn by dignitaries at govern¬ ors’ balls. Full - dress uniforms are worn at military balls, but sometimes a dress suit on a man is allowed. THE BOOK STORE. The book store is the place where the cadets buy books and other necessaries at cost. The book store sells books at cost because the catalogue says so. Some books and toilet articles sell for 10 and 15 per cent more than their original cost. The explanation of this phenomenon would be too technical for little Froggies to understand. The book store is operated for the benefit of the cadets, just like the Mess Hall. It has some of the characteristics of the Aless Hall, in that you cannot always get what you want. In this manner it is a half-brother to B. Sbisa’s department. Poor ignorant old ’Varsity is crying for a book store like ours. May she get it. Then we ’ll be even with her for the hateful things she has said about us. THE SABRE. The sabre is a weapon used by commissioned officers to impress the alfalfa queens and other visiting femininity. They are long, blunt knives that fit into a long socket called a scabbard. They are given to the Seniors who are suspected of having been military Juniors. Of course many mistakes are made. The mistakes are bad things. They ought to be corrected, but it is too late when they are found out. Frogs and Senior privates don’t get to wear sabres. 342 THE ORATOR. Who is the noise ? That is the nozzle of the Scientific Bug Association mak¬ ing his daily announcement in the Mess Hall. Does he orate? Oh, yes, indeed. He takes public speaking and orates whenever the occasion justifies it or not. Does he say anything worth while? Oh, no. He can only say what is put into his mouth. How is his voice? His voice, little Froggie, sounds like a phono¬ graph that has been mortgaged fifty years. Is his voice loud? Yes, his voice is loud ; sometimes it goes higher than the price of beef. Will he ever be an orator ? No, he will never be an orator. An or¬ ator must have originality. SENIOR PRIVATES. Little Froggie, you ask what are Senior privates. They are artillerists who couldn’t do the infantry drill and are given a snap, but don’t know it. Are the foolish? Oh, no; they just try to act that way, and they are good actors. Are they anarchists? No, no, not that, but something as bad. Do they have privi¬ leges ? Oh, yes. They don’t drill much. They don’t wear many clothes. They don’t have any table manners to look out for. They are allowed to break up pub¬ lic property, and there is no limit on their demerits. Do they like their Bull? Yes, they like their Bull, because they have these privileges. They are going to give $5 apiece toward buying him a loving-cup. THE MONOCLE. The monocle is an ornament for unornamental faces. Englishmen and other snobs wear them. They give faces that empty look. Some faces are empty naturally. Sometimes monocles are worn by the village cut-ups to mas¬ querade balls and other places where they have no business. Some people, like Kleber Triggs, who know no better, call them monoglasses. 343 QROy jmD A, FUJI .

They didn’t find the Fountain, but they must have left its properties with the building, because Bat Roost hasn’t fallen yet. The inhabitants of this ruin always take their shoes off when they enter, because any little jar knocks the bricks out of the wall. The building is firmly bound together in numerous places with twine string. The Directors say this positively insures it against accident. The only reason why his ruin has not been condemned by the building in¬ spector is that he was afraid to go close to it and look. M. E. BUILDING. The bricks used in this building were made by the Egyptians without straw, as can be plainly seen by the way they crumble when a loud noise is made near the building. All the Profs and students have to speak in whispers to keep from jarring the plaster off the walls. To get to the second story, you must climb a rope or fly, as the stairs won’t hold a person up. The south side of the building was formerly propped up with two-by-fours, but someone took the prop for a goal-post and the building has been in grave danger ever since. MAIN BUILDING. This building is so ancient that visitors take away bricks as souvenirs. At least, that is the only way we can account for so many of them being gone. Pee wee has the warmest room in this building, as he keeps the holes in the wall plugged up with old shirts, hats, etc. The windows rattle so badly on a windy night that the noise has often been mistaken for a continuous roll of thunder. The drawing department was at one time on the fourth floor, but had to be moved because the building shook so the students could not draw a straight line with a tee square. Taken all together, we have the most varied and interesting collection of ruins in the United States. 349 THE PARISIAN COLLAR. If all the collars in the world Should in a line come marching by, And I were told to suit myself, To pick whatever pleased my eye; And if I had peculiar tastes, And tried to pick the strangest there, I doubt of finding such a one As that which Peewee likes to wear. J. B. T. 3 50 A Bughunter’s Essay on a Cow. A cow is a animal with four legs on the under side, and is born while very young. (So is a calf.) A cow is useful in two ways: it gives milk. The milk is good to drink, also white; so is the right hind foot, except on brown cows, and theirs is black. A cow has big ears that wiggle on hinges; so does her tail. A cow is big¬ ger than a calf, but not so big as a ele¬ phant. Cows are made small so she can go in the barn when no one is looking. Some cows are black and others can hook. Cows have horns, but a cow can’t blow his horn. Milk is also good to eat if you freeze it. To freeze cow’s milk, you use ordi¬ nary cold ice. Cow’s milk straight is too strong; therefore they always dilute it at the well. All cows give milk and butter (but not eggs). All cows like red and he will follow you all over the field after it. The cow has a tail also, which hangs by one end and swings to and fro (most¬ ly fro). They use the tail to bat flies with. A dead cow won’t hurt you, neither will a live cow after he’s. killed. That is all there is about cows. Jftrst yfantf Second Tlonth za roods for czhoev 351 YjsIsjz. dgCozzi?

(With Apologies to Prof. Giesecke.) At the beginning of the year the new dormitory, Goodwin Hall, was provided with an up-to-date refrigerating system, consisting of two boilers and no refrig¬ erators. When the freezing apparatus is in operation, the boilers, pipes, and re¬ frigerators are filled with cold water, which circulates through the system, leaving the boilers by one set and return¬ ing by another set, giving out intense cold from the refrigerators into the rooms and corridors, no cold air es¬ caping, except when an outside door is thoughtlessly left open. Last year, when the cooling system was operated from several small ice plants in the basement of the dormitory, the cost of keeping the building up to the required low temperature was approxi¬ mately $425. an average of $3.40 per student. This year the cost of operation has been reduced considerably by con¬ veying coolness from the college ice plant through pipes covered with mag¬ nesia, to keep heat away from the val¬ uable contents. Some of the advantages of this cool¬ ing system are as follows: first, when there is no fire, there is no risk of fire; second, sudden temperature changes can be provided for much better by opening or closing the valve; in this manner the commencement or discontinuance of the freezing of the occupants of the hall can be regulated at will; third, the tempera¬ ture of the rooms can be kept as low as the zero point without any inconvenience, thus lessening the danger of heat over¬ coming the students; fourth, students may keep fruit, milk, and various other eatables which they may bring from the Mess Hall without danger of them spoil¬ ing; fifth, this refrigerating system per¬ mits the students to display their sweat¬ ers and other articles of clothing, which they would not otherwise have the op¬ portunity to display. This freezing idea has met with eminent success and can be heartily recommended by any resident of Goodwin Hall. The occupants of this dormitory desire to take this means of thanking the authorities for their good work along this line. They feel that had the hall been allowed to get warmer than 10 degrees, many of the students would have taken sick from pneumonia. A Small Boy’s Essay.

Frazier’s Party Brings Records from Frozen North and Sub¬ stantiates Story of Much- Abused Explorer Party Has Many Harrowing Adventures in Land of Rory Bory Alice (Special to The Battalion.) “New York, March 20 , 1911 . —Dr. Cook’s records found! That the Doctor is the original discoverer of the North Pole is proven beyond a doubt. Boy scout suffers with gout. “ Frazier.” This is the message that flashed through the atmosphere last night at 10 o’clock to the Government Station at Govern¬ or’s Island from the arctic ship Peewee, breaking to the world the news that Dr. Cook’s records were found and restoring to a ruined man his reputation and prestige. When this message was sent, Lieutenant Frazier’s ship was six miles out from the mouth of the harbor. By 12 o’clock the ship was ready to enter the har¬ bor and had called for a pilot. By daybreak the ship had an¬ chored near, the dock of the Metropolitan Yacht Club. Af¬ ter being boarded by the quar¬ antine officers, an army of news reporters was received, and Lieu¬ tenant Frazier related the ex¬ periences of the trip, and told the press representatives where the records were found. They were permitted to look at the records. The records prove be¬ yond the peradventure of a doubt that Dr. Cook is not the gigantic fake that the Copen¬ hagen scientists have asked the world to believe. The story of the hunt for the records is very interesting, but the more interesting is the ac¬ count of how David Oran, the boy scout and wireless operator, sent the first message that an¬ nounced the finding of Dr. Cook’s documents. Suffering excruciating pain from a gouty foot, supported at the operat¬ or’s key by Igski, his faithful Eskimo companion, Oran, ex¬ ercising a gigantic will-power, called for the Governor’s Island station. Calling forty minutes before being answered, he fainted twice. Placing an empty brandy bottle to his lips, Igski revived him so he could send another call. When the answer came, Oran was emerging from his second unconsciousness. As soon as he had sent the famous message, he fell into the faithful Igski’s arms and was carried to his berth. This morning he is in the Blackwell’s Island hospital and is resting comfortably. Lieutenant Frazier is the lion of the hour, and is bidden to several of the most exclusive social functions of the winter season. The Lieutenant has ac¬ cepted all of them. This after¬ noon he will play golf with Ad¬ miral Dewey, one of his strong¬ est admirers. To-morrow after¬ noon the explorer will be enter¬ tained at pingpong by Miss Du¬ enna Schwarz, daughter of the millionaire brewer. To-morrow evening he will sip chop suey with Don Lee, the Chinese am¬ bassador, who is spending sev¬ eral weeks in New York. At 12 o’clock to-morrow night, af¬ ter playing his usual game of sol¬ itaire, the hero will retire for a few hours of sleep. He has an interesting programme mapped for the coming week. He de¬ votes his time from 12 m. to 3 p. m. each day to entertaining photographers and newspaper reporters. The Lieutenant’s Story. Seated at a table loaded with fruit, and surrounded by buck¬ ets of iced champagne, Lieuten¬ ant Frazier smoked a pure Ha¬ vana, and waited for the report¬ ers and photographers in his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria this afternoon. “The story of my trip is a long one,” the Lieutenant nar¬ rated. “ My crew was selected with a view to getting energetic men—men who do not fear hardship, and men who have been tried and who have made good in the tests. I knew David 365 THE BATTALION. Oran would come up to the mark when the occasion for grit presented itself. Although he was young and had had few ad¬ ventures, I knew that he did dare a bunch of East Waco boys across the Brazos River to his side of the stream. Although he knew they would not come, it took a man with originality and nerve to make the bluff. “There was Grandma Miller, who, when an insignificant ‘fish,’ threshed a Soph. Grand¬ ma was my chief navigator, and never allowed the Peewee to leave sight of land. “Jesse Crum, my cabin - boy, alone and unaided, dauntlessly laid siege at Welborn for six months. Using no weapon but his right arm by day and both arms at nightfall, he covered himself with glory, winning the admiration of the world of charmers. Although the be¬ sieged escaped, the escape does not detract one iota from this martial genius’ reputation for daring. “The Wily Dickerson, assist¬ ant navigator, had led a small force against the alfalfa queens and, conquering them, had shown himself a strategist of the Napoleonic type.” Scenting an adventure, the reporters prompted him to tell the story. He told how Dickerson paroled the queens in Carson, and, re¬ turning to see them safely aboard a train to return with the honors of war to their little prin¬ cipalities, he found them in the hands of hostile professors and charged the professors with his staff. Had the queens observed their parole, Dickerson, aided by his staff, could have routed the professors; thus he would have been outnumbering the enemy on the field. But this plan, so cleverly laid out and so boldly undertaken, was shattered, be¬ cause the queens joined the pro¬ fessors, and the combined forces completely routed Dickerson. “I say that in this campaign Dickerson showed himself a bril¬ liant student of the Bonaparte methods. I thought I might need a strategist in case the savages about Mount McKinley should be hostile to my visit. “ Forsgard, the electrician, had hunted elephants in Africa and had ridden the Jumbo beasts in circuses, and was recommended to me as a man who could be depended upon for coolness in places where ordinary men would fail. “Trigg, the surgeon, was an insignificant veterinarian down in Texas before I discovered him and invited him to accompany me on the trip. He had done very little to show his courage except to face a Chicago menu card when he was a student in college. However, one doesn’t expect much of a doctor. “ Briscoe was taken along more as a companion for myself to help while away the tedium of the trying trip. Briscoe is somewhat of a diplomat, too, and I reasoned that he could be useful in furthering the trade relations between the United States and any undiscovered territory that we might find. Briscoe, you know, is president of the Baptist Association, which meets annually at Fulshear, and has exercised much diplomacy in holding the delegates to the business that comes before the meetings and in dismissing the meetings with few casualties. “Coghill, ship carpenter, had shown his mettle when in college in the Lone Star State. One night he found two night guards breaking into a freight-car in the railroad yards at College Station, and alone, with sticks, he suc¬ ceeded in driving them away. His companion fled when he saw what the guards were doing; but Coghill realized that something had to be done and done quickly, so he waded into them. His fearlessness in fighting superior numbers and his coolness in action appealed to me, and I couldn’t consider my crew com¬ plete without him. “ Lauderdale, chef, is a kind of rounder, but a good fellow with¬ al. He had ridden freight trains from Milano Junction to Somer¬ ville. He has traveled all the roads from Galveston to Dallas via Houston. When I found him, he was breeding flying- squirrels for the market. He is famed in Texas for cooking rare Mexican dishes, and his strange dishes were very popular with my men. Oran owed his gout to the chile concarne that ‘Bo’ Lauderdale prepared. ‘ Bo’ came within an ace of going to Old Mexico when he was a boy, but his parents objected, so he determined to become a second A No. 1. “Pool, in charge of our little cannon, came with us to escape a red-headed Texas widow. “ McMahan, one of the fire¬ men, chose my cruise to escape from an over-abundant supply of domestic felicity. “ Wright, another fireman, thought the chances for disaster to the undertaking so great that probably he would find a watery grave and escape from the ment¬ al anguish that he had suffered since a Texas girl refused his ring. “ Sandford was our chaplain, and drove to the hearts of my men many homely truths. His sparkling wit and Scriptural an¬ ecdotes so interested Wright that the fireman began to think of home and how to return to escape a watery grave. Wright took a great interest in life, and often discussed the evangeliza¬ tion of the Philippines with the chaplain when he was off duty. Sandford was the only man aboard the ship who was im¬ mune from smallpox. “ Egd Summers was a wonder¬ ful whale harpooner, and kept the chef in sperm oil, which Lauderdale used in one of his fish concoctions. “I forgot to add awhile ago that Lauderdale used to conduct a fish hatchery, and could cook the most delicious dishes of fish, such as canned crabs and the like. Returning to Summers, I will say that his sole function was to harpoon the big fish. “ Todd, a long, lank Scotsman, accompanied us to inaugurate the use of the tantalum light among the Eskimos. He had several dynamos rigged with tread-mill power that could be worked by the Eskimo dogs. The Voyage. “ As you all know, we left New York harbor early last 366 THE BATTALION. spring, and sailed up to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to wait for the arctic winter to break so we could reach Mt. McKinley be¬ fore the next winter set in, and without danger to our ship and to ourselves. We waited at St. John’s about a month before we could resume our journey. My men were given numerous shore leaves and their adventurous spirits led them into many har¬ rowing experiences. Dickerson and Crum set out on the voyage with brand-new sailor suits with an unnecessary number of but¬ tons on them, and readily en¬ tered into the pleasures of the Newfound land capital’s society. “Crum flirted with the gov¬ ernor’s daughter and had an appointment with the worthy father of the maiden for a duel; but Crum pleaded rush of busi¬ ness, and had the date of the duel set for a time when the Peewee would be two days on her northward voyage. “Dickerson found a maiden whose age was old enough to support moth-balls and whose heart was easy of access, and had a breach of promise suit on his .hands when we took him away from the harbor to the land of Aurora Borealis. “ ‘ Pool was caught filching stogies from a cigar stand, and his fine took the $100 that we had in our strong chest. “Summers, our genuine wo¬ man-hater, found himself sur¬ rounded near a cold stream one afternoon, by a bevy of pretty French-Canadian girls from a near-by convent. He had stalk¬ ed the moose and had hunted the deer, and used one of their methods of escape. He jumped through their line, precipitating two of them to the ground; land¬ ing in the middle of the stream and swimming across to the op¬ posite bank, he made a wide de¬ tour through the woods and came back to the stream, and swam down the brooklet several miles to throw them off the scent. When he, reached the ship, he was exhausted, but feeling glad because of his escape from the ' bold, designing females,’ as he called them. Dr. Trigg took him in hand, and, in spite of the medical assistance that was giv¬ en him, Summers’ great consti¬ tution rallied, and the harpooner was on his feet in a couple of weeks. “ McMahan saw a wedding party enter a church one morn¬ ing, which sight reminded him of his own trouble at home, and he hurried back to the Peewee and asked for no more shore leaves. “Wright found a chorus-girl, who took his watch-fob and pins and stripped him of all the other jewelry that he had and he came back to the ship to enjoy the first restful sleep he had enjoyed during the trip. Wright called on her afterwards, and now has her wearing an A. and M. ring. He swears he is going back when her contract with the show peo¬ ple ends, and enter into a mar¬ riage contract with the lady. “ Lauderdale, in a restaurant one night, entered into a heated discussion with a waiter about the relative food values of crabs and oysters. The waiter chose the oyster side of the discussion, and he was promptly knocked down. Lauderdale was put in the lock-up, and, as we had paid our money out on pool, Lauder¬ dale spent a couple of weeks in the cold jail. “ Sandford ran amuck of a Mormon missionary and wasted many valuable hours trying to convert the Salt Laker to the idea of monogamous marriage. “Todd whiled his time away enjoying the society of the daughter of a Scotch curate. They made the welkin ring with the songs of bonnie Scotland. Todd fascinated the lady and her father enough to sell them a patented lighting system, get¬ ting its power from a windmill, and unloading a gross of tan¬ talum lights on them for their two-room house. In his charm¬ ing, Todd never forgot to sell some of his electrical supplies. “ These are only a few of their experiences. “ We set sail on the date our programme called for, with all our crew aboard. Discovery of the Records. “Our trip from Newfound¬ land to Mt. McKinley was with¬ out event. We had to disem¬ bark at the Greenland seacoast, of course, and move overland across trackless wastes of rocks and glaciers. We had been out several weeks before we saw the mountain. Miller lost his com¬ pass and caused our party to move in too big a curve to reach the big hill as soon as we should have reached it. With many frost-bitten toes, our little par¬ ty, composed of Miller, Briscoe, Oran, Pool, Dickerson, Crum, and myself, reached the mount¬ ain top. We did not look long before we saw an American to¬ bacco sign painted on the side of a rock. We went two hundred yards directly north of the sign, as Dr. Cook had instructed us, and there we found, cached un¬ der a small pile of rocks, an old saw, a tomato can, and a sack of Duke’s Mixture. Briscoe and Oran fought over the tobacco, but Oran’s experience stood him in stead and he won the tobacco. I appropriated the tobacco later, however, in the interest of good discipline and smoked it myself. “ In the tomato can we found several manuscripts that would interest the world were their contents published. Perhaps the most interesting is the recipe for Sbisa hash. This recipe can¬ not be published until after the death of this famous chef. An¬ other paper in the can shows a sketch of Dr. Cook’s route to the Pole. We probed about in the can and found, lying flat in the bottom, a kodak film, which we afterward developed w h e n we reached the Peewee. This film showed four different and dis¬ tinct views of the North Pole, which explorers have given their lives and their fortunes in a vain endeavor to discover. One oth¬ er view shows Dr. Cook climbing the Pole to nail the Stars and Stripes to its top. These pict- ures and the sketch will be sent to Copenhagen this week. It is hoped the University Faculty will take up the matter of recon¬ sidering Dr. Cook’s proofs soon, and restore the good name which they so wantonly tore from him. “The return of the party to the United States was without 367 THE BATTALION. incident, except for one little ad¬ venture of Oran on the return from Mt. McKinley to the ship. Late one evening our party came up to a small village of Eskimo igloos, or ice huts. Oran was ahead of the party about four hundred yards and saw the population of the village gathered about a crevice in the ice. He found they were in the act of pushing one of their number into this crack, which must have been five hundred feet deep. “ This was the punishment they meted to the criminal who stole fish-hooks. Oran’s heart was touched; he could not bear to see a man die such a horrible death for filching a few r rusty fish-hooks. He formed himself into a rescue party at once and caught up the criminal and ran with him back to our party. We guarded the angry little northern people away from Oran’s protege that night and took him with us to the ship. He has been Oran’s constant companion ever since and was with him when he fainted at the key.” Lieutenant Frazier and his party will return to their Texas homes the latter part of next week.

Little Miss Lucile Louwein was hostess to the little folks of her age on the occasion of her seventh birthday, from 3 to 6 o’clock, last Thursday afternoon. The big Louwein lawn was utilized as a playground for the precious little ones, who played blind man’s buff, stinks base, and various other outdoor games. After an hour of open- air exercise, the young hostess called her little girl guests into the house, where the parlor and dining-room opened together with folding doors. In these rooms the girls were given the tangled ends of a number of strings. Untangling them, the maidens followed the devious courses of the threads into clos¬ ets, behind furniture, and into other hiding-places. Each lass¬ ie found at the end of her thread a laddie, who was drawn in this amusing manner for a partner in the progressive “ 42 ” game, which interested the little folks for the next hour. When young Miss Louwein declared the game ended, the next hour was given up to waltzes and two-steps. The young hostess was assist¬ ed in serving the refreshments of fruit and punch and angel food by her twin brother, Master Claude. Mrs. Louwein’s home is popu¬ lar with the little people for the original entertainments that she offers them, and on this occa¬ sion the popularity did not suf¬ fer in the least. Miss Lucile is a charming little hostess and inherits many of her mot her’s pleasing qualities.

EDITORIAL. Every college or university of note has traditions and customs in which it takes great pride. These traditions, like good whis¬ key, are prized in proportion to the depth they become covered by the cobwebs of time. The customs that prevail are founded on precedent, and the older the college or the university, the more precedents, and conse¬ quently the more customs. The A. and M. College, being an infant in years as compared with the schools having hoary traditions, can boast of but few old customs that give it great pride. Of the precedents, only once do we hear of how a cadet bearded the Commandant in his office and gave that person a round lecture, or of the advent¬ urers who fired a cannon full of bricks into the B all’s office. It is true we have, a number of in¬ teresting traditions related to us about phenomenal football plays, and how students went against the laws of man to start a new custom or to change an old style; but never once have we heard of how a Freshman could curse a Senior, make faces at a Junior, or run slipshod over a proud, domineering Sopho¬ more—not once have we heard of such a precedent. But this year—mark the date well for future generations of Freshmen —a precedent, the newest wrin¬ kle in the way of precedents, has been made, with the consent of the upper classmen and the ap¬ proval of the people of the State of Texas. This precedent has started a new custom at this magnificent school of learning. From now on, henceforth and forever, the Freshman shall be permitted and expected to run wild—to smoke the Seniors’ ci¬ garettes, wear the J u n i o r s’ clothes, and borrow money from the Sophomores — without as much as one restraining hand being raised to stop him. This precedent has founded a custom and customs are what we need. The kingly Sophomore is dead, the Freshman is king. Long live the king! Central W. C. T. U. The regular weekly meeting was held Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at the residence of Mrs. C. B. Moore. A large num¬ ber of guests were present, and all were more than repaid for coming. The leaders had spared no pains to make the meeting a profitable one. The Bible-reading was “The First Sin,” from the third chap¬ ter of Genesis. As this chapter is most important to the human race, especially to women, the discussion was both animated, interesting, and, at times, amus¬ ing. Some of the facts brought out are these: That God did not tell the woman that she should not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; that woman was not created at the time that God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden and told the man not to eat of the tree, etc.; that woman was not made of the “ dust of the earth,” but of man’s ribs; that the worst curse placed upon woman was “ that her husband should rule over her.” Take note, “only husbands”—fath¬ ers, brothers, and all unmarried men are not to rule over women. At the close of this discussion a sacred song and heartfelt prayer, voiced by Mrs. McAd¬ ams, ended the devotionals. Reports were most satisfac- and tory; most especially so was the Flower Mission report of Mrs. M. J. Miller. Mrs. McCraw, who was sent abroad to investi¬ gate the evil effects of pathet¬ ic dramas, delivered a report which showed she has spent much time on the work. Among other things, Mrs. Mc- Graw said: “Pathetic dramas should not be tolerated. Their evil effects are many. I wit¬ nessed ‘The Sins of the Faiher,’ and was convinced that its pa- theticism tended to produce dis¬ eases of the heart. One young lady who occupied a box was barely prevented from fainting by the soothing words of the young gentleman who accom¬ panied her.” One of the best papers ever heard by the Union was the one prepared from actual experience and read by Mrs. Sandford. The subject was, “ Diplomacy in Ruling Husbands.” Mrs. Coghill’s paper, “ T h e Hired Girl and the Liquor Prob¬ lem,” was an exhaustive one and certainly required time and study in its preparation. A vote of thanks was given Mr. Moore for the novel enter¬ tainment given to the members who availed themselves of the opportunity to witness the man¬ ufacturing of “Bozena” at his immense factory. “Bozena” is the best-known liquor cure in the State. The process of mak¬ ing is patented by Mr. Briscoe, and is a most rare one. It is made by boiling pure water until it has assumed the form of dry chalk. The members who have tried the cure say that it will bank¬ rupt the liquor trust. Mrs. Lau¬ derdale says it made “Cye” give all his Dripping Springs to the janitor. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Dorsey. The leading topic will be “Booze as a Joy- Producer,” with Mrs. Neighbors as leader. H. J. KELLY, Dealer in Shoes, - Shoes, - Shoes.

JAMES HAYES QUARLES AD¬ DRESSES THE SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURAL ASSO¬ CIATION. “Scientific Poultry Raising” His Theme. Last Saturday night, at the regular meeting of the Scientific Agricultural Association, the members were given a rare treat in the form of an interesting ad¬ dress by the versatile Mr. James Hayes Quarles. Mr. Quarles took as his subject “Scientific Poultry Raising” and treated it in a manner such as he, and he only, could treat on. In the course of his address Mr. Quarles gave many suggestions, which, for want of space, will not be reproduced here. In opening, Mr. Quarles ex¬ plained that the source of all good chickens is good eggs, which in turn must be the pro¬ duct of good chickens. Good eggs, he explained, need not be procured from the regular deal¬ er, but that the best eggs may be procured at 20 cents a dozen from any grocer. In order to buy them in this way, it is quite essential that one know a good egg from a bad one, and that one should know the difference be¬ tween the eggs of the high-bred fowl and those of an inferior breed. Here he explained that the novice could easily tell the quality of the eggs by the odor, while the class could easily be detected by means of the fact that the eggs of the well - bred chickens are larger at one end than at the other. After secur¬ ing the eggs, the next step is to hatch them. Eggs are hatched in two ways: first, by the use of a mechanical device called an “incubator,” and by the natural method of setting a hen on them. Mr. Quarles indorsed the latter method for the following reasons: The first cost of the incubator is unreasonable and the cost of oil during operation is a good figure in itself. On the other hand, the expense of the incu¬ bator would buy and maintain enough hens to perform the re¬ quired service many times over. The incubator requires constant attention, while the hen will be her own care-taker. In select¬ ing the hen to which you are to trust your setting, great care should be exercised. Do not se¬ lect a young hen; on the other hand, get an old, motherly and somewhat feeble one, as these seldom possess the energy re¬ quired to fly off the nest. In this way the chilling of the eggs, which is detrimental, will tend to be eliminated. To set the hen, first nail the box to the side of the stable just 4 feet 4 inches from the floor; this is done for protection from rats, the most athletic of which can jump only 4 feet 2 inches high. Then the nest is filled with absorbent cotton or other soft material, upon which the eggs are placed. Then set the hen on the eggs and watch her a few minutes. If she stays on, everything is all right; but if not, she can be made to do so by placing a board over the nest and applying sufficient weight. After the hen is set, practically all the work is done,—for three weeks, at least. During the period of incubation it is only necessary to see that the hen has the proper exercise and enough food. To exercise her, lift her from the nest and toss her in the ah- a few times—she will do the rest. In case she is peevish, a string with a loop in one end can be used. The loop is dropped over her head and then drawn tight. Then drag her off the nest and lead her a few laps around the yard at double time. As soon as the chicks are hatched out the real pleasure be¬ gins. Mr. Quarles then gave the following rules for the care of the brood, which have been used by him during his period of poultry¬ raising, and which, if followed, he guarantees to produce a fine lot of chickens: Rule 1 . On arising in the morning, see that each chick has a dose of Pratt’s Condition Powders. Rule 2. Be sure to provide a sand-pile for them to play in, as healthy chicks must have plenty of clean dirt. Rule 3 . See that each chick is daily petted, in order that a sweet disposition may be culti¬ vated. If you haven’t time, let your wife do it. Rule 4 . Be sure to dry each chick’s feet before putting it to bed, so as to avoid its contract¬ ing pneumonia. Rule 5 . If the Houston Post predicts bad weather, place the little ones in a basket and keep them under a chafing-dish at night. ■ Rule 6. Be sure to give each one a name fitting its disposition. Rule 7 . As soon as they are old enough to learn, teach them to keep away from the barracks, as more fatalities are due to this cause than all others combined. After offering advice on any special matters to those w h o cared to ask him about it, Mr. Quarles closed his thrilling talk. As soon as the audience could be awakened, the meeting ad¬ journed. Next Saturday night Mr. G. W. Barnes will address the Society on “The Use of Phosphorus in Causing Incisors to Grow in the Upper Jaws of Bovines.” Sea-Gull Rhyme. (A Football-Player’s Plea.)

On Friday at dinner the Corps of Cadets was given a great sur¬ prise. Just as they were helping themselves to cush, President Milner was seen to run over to the Mess Hall. Consternation reigned as the President entered. It was with difficulty that Col. Pool held the cadets in check. A frown was on the President’s face, and the cadets prepared for the worst. After fifteen min¬ utes of preliminaries in the way of shaking hands, President Mil¬ ner addressed the Corps, now in a perfect fever of excitement. The President’s remarks were as follows: “Col. Pool, Lieut.-Col. Sand- ford, Majors Forsgard, Wright and McMahan, Cadet Officers, Sergeants, and Privates,—When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for me as President of this the Agricult¬ ural and Mechanical College of Texas to address the students of the said institution, I feel it my duty and my business to state that this is the most unpleasant task that I have performed in a long time. I have never in my long years of experience as a citi¬ zen of Texas come across such a magnificent body and such a well-trained body of men as is now assembled before me. I do not say this in any spirit of flat¬ tery—far from it; I say it from the bottom of my heart, and may I be killed, hung, and buried if this is not said in all sincerity. “ However,cadets,some of you have forgotten yourselves; some of you have been thoughtless, for I am sure none of you would have done the act I am going to relate unless you had been thoughtless. Such a well - dis¬ ciplined body of young future- makers of America could only have forgotten themselves when the act that some of the cadets of this the A. and M. College of Texas performed was comitted. “ Young gentlemen, it is with pain that I address you on this subject. I am wounded and sorely hurt to hear that some of you have gone so far as to play a joke—can it be called a joke? Gentlemen, I am afraid it can not. I have consulted all the histories in our magnificent li¬ brary, and in all my researches I have not found one incident where a leader in this world of ours has committed such an act as has been committed by some future leaders of America. “ Col. Pool, foul play has been performed. Some thoughtless young cadets, I am sorry to say, have caused foul play. It was with tears in eyes to-day that I listened to the pitiful story of one of your beloved fellow - cadets, a Freshman. “ Have some of the cadets of this institution lost all their pride and so far forgotten them¬ selves that they could do such deeds without the slightest de¬ gree of feeling? Now, cadets who have performed this odious deed, down in your hearts do you not have a wounded place? Do you not feel sorry for what you have done? Think of it for awhile—just a moment is neces¬ sary—and you will be in tears. “ I apologize to the cadets who had nothing to do with this affair for taking up their valuable time and causing their dinner to become cold, but such a serious matter as I am now going to re¬ late needs to be considered by every member of the Corps,and I take this opportunity to address you. One of your dearly be¬ loved Freshmen has just in¬ formed me that some cadets— poor Freshman! it brings tears to my eyes every time I think of his hurt heart—struck him three times with a regulation belt. Cadets, I am shocked. To be¬ lieve that such a magnificent mass of humanity would do such a cruel and heartless act is near an impossibility, but it is the truth; the Freshman says so, and all Freshmen are bearers of the truth. “ Soldiers, manhood of Texas, and flower of Texas youth, let me ask you one question: How would any of you like to be robbed of that which is dearer to you than all the world? How would you like to see your dear¬ est ideal taken away from you? Answer me these questions. Look me in the face and tell me that you would not like it. Now, gentlemen, will you coun¬ tenance such acts of wanton cruelty and allow the perpetra¬ tors of such foul deeds to re¬ main in your midst unpunished? Extend to this wretched heart your sympathy, and-—” This wound up the address, so far as The Battalion reporter was concerned. The Corps was so affected that sobs, mournings, and lamentations arose in such volume that Mrs. Sbisa rushed down stairs and enquired of a Mexican servant if Mr. Sbisa was dead. President Milner was so affected by his magnifi¬ cent address that, ’t is said, he took his hands from his pockets for the first time in twenty years. Finally, at 4 o’clock the Corps became quieted, and then’t was found that the fatalities were fewer than expected—only the Sophomore Class had swooned and not more than six were in a nervous condition. Fifty tons of alfalfa seed were marketed from the farm of Mr. W. E. Dickerson last Tuesday. 372 WE DOMINO.

Ten years ago there were a dozen different makes of creamery or factory separators in use. Today over 98 per cent of the world’s creameries use DE LAVAL separators exclusively. It mean a difference of several thousand dollars a year whether a DE LAVAL or some other make of separator is used in a creamery, Exactly the same differences exist, on a smaller scale, in the use of FARM separators. But the farm user doesn’t know it. Nine times out of ten he can’t tell when he is wasting $50.00 or $100.00 a year in quantity and quality of product through the use of an inferior separator. There can be no better recommendation for the DE LAVAL than the fact that the men who make the separation of milk a business use the DE LAVAL to the practical exclusion of all other separators.
