However, feeling that we have done our best, we place this issue before you with the hope that it will receive your kindest consideration. It is impossible to express the sadness with which we think of the many comrades who left college during the year, but our well- wishes are with them and also the hope that the majority of them will return with a united determination to work for the success of dear old A. M. Classmates, if, in after years, the perusal of this volume recalls pleasant memories of our college days, or of dear associations and friendships, then can we joyfully feel that our efforts have not been in vain. 7 F. E. Giesecke 8 An Appreciation For the first time since entering the A. M. College, the Class of ’13 has an opportunity to express its appreciation of services rendered and of kind words spoken to the Class and for the College. At the very beginning of this volume, we desire to express our appreciation of Professor F. E. Giesecke, formerly College Architect, and Head of the Department of Architecture at this place, and now in charge of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas. The A. M. College was formally opened for the reception of stu¬ dents October 4, 1876. Six years later, while the school was still in its infancy, F. E. Giesecke was admitted to the Freshman Class. He was a hard student, stood high with his schoolmates, and graduated with honors in 1886. For twenty-six years after he was graduated from the College, he served his Alma Mater, The State, and the Youth of Texas, faithfully and well. He was a “friend in need” to all who knew him, and more especially the Corps of Cadets. He remembered his own school days at the College, that feeling of depression and homesickness that natur¬ ally comes to the boy who leaves home to attend College, those trials and tribulations which are the part of the life of every cadet, and his smile, warm handshake and helpful advice have eased the mind of many a poor cad.et. As a member of the Discipline Committee, he was fair and impartial in all his decisions, never questioned the honor or in¬ tegrity of the student, and was firm in the punishment of the delin¬ quent, when punishment was due. We speak of these things in appreciation of him as an officer of the College, in which we as students and we as citizens own our part. He bears the respect and admiration of the graduates of the past thirty years, as well as our own. Wherever he may go, and whatever he may do, the good wishes of the Class of ’13 will attend him. 9 Board of Directors Kempner Kyle Davis Guion Peteet 10 ■ I m i ’ Main Building FTER the fire of last May which destroyed the time-honored Main Building, the Architectural Department immediately went to work on plans for a new one. Although Prof. Giesecke was at that time the head of the department, Samuel E. Gideon designed the building, and during the summer his plans were approved. Thanks to Governor Colquitt’s interest in, and work for, the school, provisions were at once made to se¬ cure the $200,000 necessary to erect the building; and the operations have been pushed to such an extent that it should be entirely completed and ready for use by the opening of the 1913-14 ses¬ sion. The edifice stands on the site of the old Main Building, the most commanding position on the campus, and it will contain the executive and military departments, the library, the ex¬ change store, and numerous class rooms. 11 Mess Hall (Sbisa Hall) EISA HALL, as the new Mess Hall has been named, is another of the uncompleted buildings which should be ready for use by the beginning of the next session. It is also the result of provisionary means of securing money, and again the College is indebted to Gov¬ ernor Colquitt and the bankers of the State for their interest in our welfare. Although not a monumental piece of architecture, it is an ideal Mess Hall from the point of size and arrangement, for it was planned to meet the demands of a cadet corps numbering more than two thousand. It is hardly probable that the disastrous incident of last year will be re¬ peated, for the building is of re-inforced concrete and of absolutely fireproof construction. In the immense hall will be held the three formal dances, the social events of the year, and it is safe to predict that for some time the dancers will have am¬ ple floor space. 12 Y. M. C. A. OR many years, the friends and officers of the Young Men’s Christian Association have endeav¬ ored to place on the campus a building for the use of the Y. M. C. A. members. Three years ago, the first active steps were taken, pledges from the different classes accepted, and with the assistance of the Alumni, it appears that the dreams of the workers are to be realized. The corner stone was laid last spring, but through lack of funds, the building operations were delayed several months. At present, how¬ ever, the work is being pushed and inside of six months, the Association should have a splendid home. In the building will be an auditorium, reading rooms, committee room, a bathing pool, and in fact all the features that tend to attract a student. 13 Harvey Mitchell Hall ARVEY MITCHELL HALL, a four-story dormi¬ tory, was finished last fall and has been occupied during the present session. By its location on the campus it balances Goodwin Hall, and also resem¬ bles the latter in outline and construction. The Ma¬ sonic Lodge of Bryan, with solemn ceremony laid the corner-stone, and in honor of one of the strongest supporters the College has ever had, named the building Harvey Mitchell Hall. It is a modern dormitory in every respect, is electric lighted, steam heated, has water in every room, and shower baths on each floor. All rooms are on the outside and open into a hall which runs round an interior court, insuring plenty of light. There is no communication between floors for each one has a stairway of its own, ascending from the entrance. This is a typical feature of all the later dormitories, as is the open court. 14 E. E. and M. E. Building .....-- 3 oq..... i mi � • ®i5� s ■ !) ! ? _ ...... ■-:; v N rear of Leggett Hall, and north of the Main Building is located a large re-inforced concrete structure which, on account of its double purpose, is called the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building. In here are quartered, the two depart¬ ments with numbers of good-sized recitation rooms, drawing rooms, laboratories, and an auditorium which seats about three hundred people. The shops and machinery of the Mechanical Engin eering De¬ partment are still housed in the antique relic known as the M. E. Building, but the electrical equipment has been moved from the old Gathright Hall to a spacious and well-lighted laboratory in the basement of this new building. I $0$$ ■ 15 Civil Engineering Building PPOSITE the E. E. and M. E. Building stands the Civil Engineering Building. They are of the same type, greatly resemble each other, and for this reason add a touch of symmetry to the cam¬ pus. When this building was completed in 1910, it satisfied a great need, for in it are the A rchi¬ tectural, Drawing, Physics and Civil Engineering Departments. In the basement are the large test¬ ing machines, the Hydraulics and Physics labo¬ ratories; on the first floor are class rooms and rooms for experimental work in Physics, while the second and third floors are devoted to the offices, libraries, section and drafting rooms of the Architectural and Civil Engineering Depart¬ ments. ' vV 16 Experiment Station . ' A ' 1 j rys « 5, yfr A-� 0 HIS building, erected in 1909, contains offices, laboratories and store rooms for the officers of the Experiment Station, who conduct valuable experiments in both Agricultural and Horticul¬ tural lines. This station is one of a series which send out the results of these experiments and other valuable information for the use of those interested in either Agricultural or Horticultural pursuits. Connected with the station are hot houses and other features necessary to the working out of these really valuable experiments. 17 Agricultural and Horticultural Building HE Agricultural and Horticultural Department have outgrown this building and are now trying to get a legislative appropriation to cover the cost of a structure which will be a credit to these most important courses. This building now ac¬ commodates both branches with the exception of the Extension Department which had to resort to the temporary shelter of tents. In the build- ding are rooms for class instruction, laboratory investigations, museum purposes, butter and cheese making, pasteurizing milk, seed store room, and the necessary offices for the accommo¬ dation of the heads of the departments. 18 Textile Building % 15 s e y W is-mi-iAS N THIS building may be found a typical textile mill of accepted type of modern construction. On the first floor is the machinery necessary for cord¬ ing, spinning and warp-preparation, while the sec¬ ond floor is occupied by weaving and cloth finish¬ ing machinery, the designing and class-rooms, and the instructor’s offices. The whole equipment is modeled after the arrangement of an ideal cotton mill, and even the heating and fire protection are of the highest approved types. This is as yet a young but growing industry in Texas, and in this building one has the best opportunity for studying what is destined to become the South’s most flour¬ ishing manufacturing industry. v-. iji: 19 Chemical Engineering Building ACK of the Main Building stands the Chemical Engineering Building, erected in 1902, in which are the laboratories, lecture rooms, museums, of¬ fices and store rooms of the Veterinary and Chem¬ ical Departments. Interesting and valuable work by both depart¬ ments is carried on in this building for there is a laboratory for State Chemical work, an assay room, and a Veterinary dissecting room from which much good is derived from the research studies on the diseases of domestic animals. 20 Assembly Hall -igp v -;% N the Assembly Hall, an old two-storied brick structure, which was erected in 1889, are held ah the public exercises of the College. It will soon be in the same class with our other relics of early masonry and, besides, is inadequate for the needs of the students. Let us hope that it will be one of the first to be replaced by a handsome and monu¬ mental piece of architecture, one in which no danger will be felt, and of which we will think with a tinge of pride. Our place of worship and assem¬ blage, more than any other one building, should be of credit to the institution. :� si§ ■ - M m n •V-J. 21 Leggett Hall 22 . • ni i • Viragrrmi Gathright Hall Foster Hall 24 25 New Buildings in Course of Construction Main Building Mess Hall Y.

College What most impresses a visitor on the occasion of his first trip to the Agricultural and Mechanical College is the immensity of the institution. Few persons in Texas who have not visited the A. and M. College, have anything like a comprehensive idea as to the size of the College, with reference to campus and equipment. Most of them, before they visit the College, are willing to admit that it is a great institution, and that it is conserving a great purpose, but they are not prepared for the sight which meets their eyes when they first alight from the train or the trolley car at College. Well hardly. I shall not forget soon the “sort of lost feeling” that came over me when I fell off an I. G. N. train one afternoon late during the holidays. As far as I could see there were acres and acres of trees and seemingly no end to the number of buildings that poked their noses through the cedars and extended a welcome to the newcomer. There were big brick buildings and then dozen of wooden structures which I afterwards came to learn constituted “Honeymoon Row,” and pronounce that “o” long, as in “show,” please. The grass was green and the trees were green and the few persons then on the campus were—friendly. ALL THE BOYS IN THE WORLD. Then a day later boys began to flock back, and my astonishment at the immensity of the campus, which consists of 2416 acres and is adorned with several score buildings, was overcome by my surprise at the number of boys enrolled. I didn’t know there were so many boys in the world, and such boys, too. Fine chests and rugged physiques— no disease could flourish among them, except hookworm. About the third day, when they marched to the noon meal, there were more than nine hundred of them, I heard a farmer attending the Short Winter Course, remark to a friend, “If those boys but take advantage of their opportunities here and apply themselves diligently to the work outlined for them, Texas is safe,” and a few days later I came to appreciate fully the wisdom of that remark. TRAINING IS VARIED. For if I had been surprised at the vastness of the College grounds and at the value of the College equipment, and later at the army of boys enrolled at A. M., that surprise was as nothing compared to the astonishment that was mine when I came to realize fully the great diversity of training given at the College. I have been here now some ten weeks and have found that a boy can be taught to make anything from a kite to a dynamo; how to build a good road; how to secure from Mother Earth the choicest fruits, the most valuable crops; how to utilize to the greatest extent the electrical current; how to operate a cotton mill; how to cure the dumb brute of suf¬ fering and restore him to health; how to produce, and how to market; in a word, to be at once a soldier and a citizen. And with all of this technical training there is given a world of general instruc¬ tion. The boy is fitted for work in any of the arts, crafts, or sciences, and, too, is . 31 given sufficient academic instruction to properly inform him and give him polish and refinement, to develop him into a well-rounded man. Athletic activity, so essential to the proper development of the body, is insisted upon, and under competent instruction the cadets are trained in athletic pursuits that provide at once wholesome amusement and essential physical development for the boy. The social life is soon to be quickened by the completion of the handsome Y. M. C. A. building, which will be fitted with reading, rest and various amusement rooms. All lines of Y. M. C. A. work will be carried out under the direction of a paid general secretary. The campus is amply supplied with tennis courts and baseball grounds, so that, although a boy may not be sufficiently expert along any certain line of athletics to “make the team,” he still is not deprived of the use of tennis courts or baseball grounds. A well-equipped natatorium adds materially to the comfort of the cadets. BACK TO THE SOIL. But to hark back to this study thing. It hasn’t been many years since the Agricul¬ tural School was the little end of the horn, so to speak, at the Texas A. M. College. But you can’t keep a squirrel on the ground, and neither could the intelligent farmers of the State be kept from realizing that their sons could not succeed as farmers unless they fitted themselves properly to perform that calling. Hence the enrollment in this School has grown with the years, and instruction on every topic of possible interest to the farmer is now given. Four separate courses are offered in Agronomy, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, as well as a two-year course in Agriculture. It is the object of these courses to give young men a thoroughly practical and scientific training in those branches of science which relate to agriculture; and at the same time to give a general training in the English language, History, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The School of Agriculture comprises eight complete departments: Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Biology, Dairy Husbandry, Entomology, Extension, Horticulture, and Veterinary Science. AGRONOMY comprises the theory and practice of the production of field crops In this department instruction is given in those subjects which relate especially to the 32 field and its affairs, such as soils, farm crops, seed selection, plant breeding, irrigation and drainage, farm powers, farm motors, farm machinery, and farm management. It is the purpose of this department to train the student to produce maximum crops and at the same time keep the soil permanently productive. Judging, feeding, breeding and management of livestock is taught by the Department of ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. The courses are designed to give the student a thorough understanding of the livestock business in all of its phases, and to better fit him for work in this line, whether it be stock farming, ranching, teaching or investigation. The work of the BIOLOGY Department is designed to furnish the student with that accurate and thorough knowledge of the structure and functions of plants and of animals which is essential for those who purpose to engage in the arts of Agriculture and Horticulture. Especial emphasis is laid upon the laboratory work where the student is induced to form habits of independent observation and thought. The courses of study offered in the DAIRY HUSBANDRY Department are for the purpose of giving special training in the manufacture and handling of dairy products. The College Creamery, which is run in connection with this department, affords laboratory facilities for working out the practical problems involved in these courses. The courses in the ENTOMOLOGY Department are so arranged as to give students in Agriculture a practical knowledge of the lives, habits and economic importance of insects. The department is equipped with wax models, showing external and internal anatomy of various insects, with dissecting tools and microscopes, a collection of in¬ sects for reference, and a good entomological library for students’ use. 33 The HORTICULTURAL Department has a twofold purpose: first to develop scientific Horticulture, and secondly, to properly equip students to become practical truck and fruit growers. Especial stress is laid on fruit growing and students are given work along the lines of tree dentistry, budding, grafting, spraying, and other branches of work essential to practical fruit production. The Veterinary Science Department is extremely fortunate in having two of the best veterinarians in the country. The class rooms and laboratories are fairly well equipped with books, skeletons, diseased bones, tumors, parasites, charts, etc. A small hospital, erected in 1908, affords opportunity to witness surgical operations, and the management and treatment of sick animals. The Department of AGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONS was established for the purpose of extending the benefits of the College to men actively engaged in farming, and to others interested in agricultural pursuits, but not in a position to enter upon a regular college course. They give correspondence courses, short winter course, help promote agricultural work at Fairs, send out demonstration trains, and carry on Boys’ and Girls Club work over the state. The main station of the TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION is located on the campus, in connection with the College as a department. It has a working staff composed of a chemist, an entomologist, an agronomist, a botanist, a 34 plant pathologist and physiologist, a veterinary surgeon, a horticulturist, an animal hus- bandryman, and their assistants. They are doing a great work in experimenting along all agricultural lines, and from time to time these experiments are reported in bulletin form, and sent free upon application to the farmers of the state, and others interested in agricultural development. There is a great demand for well posted men in any of the lines of agriculture, and the School of Agriculture is sending out such men every year, who become lead¬ ers in the work they take up. CIVIL ENGINEERING. Long before school closes in June, “Jimmie” Nagle, Dean of the School of Civil Engineering, and Professor of that subject, receives calls for young engineers. These calls come from railroads and big construction companies, and the demand is always in excess of the supply. And the worth of the training given boys in this depart¬ ment is attested by the prominent positions now held by A. M. graduates. The department is well equipped and before another year has passed, it is expected that a well equipped hydraulic laboratory will be provided for the students of this department. At present every kind of an instrument needed by an engineer is to be 35 found in the laboratroy, but the instructors in this department are demanding that a separate building for hydraulics be provided, and it looks as if their wish will be granted. The work in this department is especially practical. Cadets are kept busy at practice and excursions to important engineering works to make observations are taken each year. Instruction along the lines of highway construction, location, maintenance, and construction of waterworks systems, protection levees, irrigation and drainage canals and ditches, reservoirs, bridges, masonry structures, the surveying and mapping of areas, and drafting is given. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The Electrical Engineering Department is one of the most fully equipped depart¬ ments of the College. Every kind of electrical appliance is to be found in the labora- tories of the new building of this school. One especially good feature of the work is that the most successful electrical engineers of the South are brought to A. M. to talk to the students of this department on subjects of vital importance. The College maintains its own power plant, and the boys are given practical in¬ struction here. The recent addition of a wireless telegraph station affords additional instruction for the boys of this department. Prof. F. C. Bolton, at the head of the School of Electrical Engineering, like Mr. Nagle, can always find good, positions for every competent man in his department. Here, too, the demand is far in excess of the supply. ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING. Nor has Architecture and Architectural Engineering been neglected at the A. M. College. A regular four-year course designed to fit men to hold high positions as architects is offered. This work includes general courses in English, history, economics, military science, mathematics, physics, chemistry and geology, technical courses in drawing, descriptive geometry, perspective, pen and ink and water-color rendering, ar¬ chitectural history, architectural design, surveying and. leveling materials of construc¬ tion, mechanics of materials, stresses in roof and. bridge trusses, structural designing, masonry construction, sanitary engineering, electric lighting and wiring, heating and ventilation, and building construction. 37 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Inasmuch as mechanical engineering is essentially the base of all engineering, especial stress is laid on the work of this department. The Mechanical Engineering School is equipped with a wood shop, forge shop, machine shop, and a tool room, all well equipped with various appliances and appurtenances essential to proper instruc¬ tion. It is the object of this department to prepare the student in the elements of mechanical engineering, and give him such training as will fit him to design, construct and erect machinery, power plant equipment, and to operate this with the greatest economy of labor and materials, and to the greatest degree of efficiency. TEXTILE ENGINEERING. Realizing the importance of the cotton industry in Texas, authorities at the College decided to establish a textile mill, to be operated in connection with the College, and to fit men to manage mills. The work of this mill enhanced by a wide variety of machinery gives employment to a number of skilled workmen, and at the same time affords instruction for the students. Sheeting is manufactured at the mill, which is practically self-supporting. And then, after the mill was established, the College heads took another thought and decided to establish a School in Cotton Classing. Cotton production naturally brings on the problem of cotton marketing, and so under the direction of J. B. Bagley 38 and C. S. Tatum, experienced mill and cotton men, students are taught to class cot¬ ton with all of the expertness of an old-time market man. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. That young men may be fitted for the work of commercial analysts and control chemists and for technical work in evaluating the raw materials which undergo chem¬ ical changes in process of manufacture in industries dealing with cottonseed products, sugar, petroleum, etc., the Department of Chemical Engineering has been added to the College curriculum. Laboratories fully equipped with all of the necessary apparatus to afford this instruction are maintained in the Chemistry Building. 39 40 R. T. MILNER President of the A. M.

His favorite expres¬ sion is “What is the big word witn ycu?” Alex has left his heart in Beaumont for safe keeping, and if a letter doesn’t appear each Thursday morning he can be found in his room gazing from a window and in a very deep “coke.” No one need ask the reason why. Alex is strong for B Co. and even ran a candy store for their benefit until Louie Fries and Guy Lott broke him up in business. Nevertheless it will be safe to say that in after life his busi¬ ness adventures will be more suc¬ cessful, for he is ( a level-headed young man. JOHN VICTOR ANDERSON.

V.” “Tack” “Little One” No, gentlemen, he is not frighten¬ ed—only startled. Jack has experi¬ enced two great surprises during his career as a student—the first when he was elected Vice-President cf the Texas Inter Collegiate Tennis As¬ sociation, and the second when he did not get a rank at the beginning of his Senior Year. However, he has since tound that his duties as Vice-President do not seriously in¬ terfere with his college work, and the careless mistake in the military department was later rectified. ]. V. is great as a qualifier. This year he qualified “possible” in pronunciation, and before that, upon entrance in fact, ne qualified as a member of the Six-foot Club. 72 REXFORD O. ANDERSON.

Although a “Sophomore Fish” he has been a Sergeant and is now Beef’s first assistant. His many lady friends keep him in hot water, for he is a fickle youth and his love flits from beauty to beauty. He is rather quiet but bombards his roommate at times with wonderful stories of love. Tile height ol ms ambition is to be janitor at Kidd- Key and says that if he fails to land this job he is going to start a simi¬ lar school in South Africa. Nev¬ ertheless, he is a good student and well liked by every one. ROV S. APPERSON Commerce Electrical Engineer Age 21, weight 145, height 6-1.

He made good on the track in his fish year, but was sick at the time of the meet and has never tried again. Bobby is quiet and studious, his favorite study is German, which seems to come to him naturally. He is the most popular Colonel the Regiment has ever had, and has only been called “General” once during the year. CHARLES NUGENT BEAZLEY Crockett Civil Engineering Age 20, weight 150, height 5-10Vfe. Field Battery; Veteran Lost Cause; Civil Engineering Society. “C. N.” “Nugent” Nugent comes from Crockett. His home, however, was originally Grape¬ vine, we know not where. Recently he has become entangled in Bryan society and as a result he and Ivory Top agreed conversely on the Me¬ chanics of Materials examination. “C. N.” is somewhat of a military man, as is shown by the fact that he has been a member of all three Battalions during his progressive four years’ visit here. He says the Bull can detect his gait from Bat Roost to Sbisa’s Hotel, and is sure to get him if he undertakes strag¬ gling. Nugent has always been very studious and will doubtless succeed in South America where he says he is going. 74 TYREE L. BELL Dallas Civil Engineering Age 21, height 6, weight 190. Major 3d Bat.; Reg.

He is also one of the “Ter¬ rible Three” who occupy a suite of rooms in Leggett Hall. Tyree has always been very aclive in every branch of cclle° r e life, as his pedi¬ gree shows, and he will be missed by all. RALPH ADOLPHUS BIRR, Iowa Park Civil Engineering Age 20, height 6, weight 160. Corp. “Band;” Company Clerk Co. A; Artillery Corps; North Texas Club; Veterans of Lost Cause; C. E. Society. “Theophilus” “S. P.” “Mutt” “Ross 30” “Mutt” hails from Iowa Park. Owing to his four years of college on the third stoop of Ross Hall he is now hailed as the “King of the Stoop.” At the opening of the year he and Sam Langford organized and went into business in Ross 30. Their shingle reads, “Ross 30. Birk Langford, Inc.” Birk, R. A., Doc¬ tor of Broken Hearts; Langford, E., Judge of Hot Stuff.” “Mutt” came to college in 1909 with C. E. as his goal. He has carefully pursued his work, but has changed his mind; since the Turkish War he has de¬ cided to go to the South Sea and wage war so that he may become Emperor of the Fijii Islands. 75 WILLIAM CHARLES BOR- CHERT Kyle Civil Engineering Age 19, weight 160, height 6-1.

Club; Ross Volunteer; Swastika. “Bill” “Skee” “Bill says that he is from Kyle. Nobody knows where this is, for it has never been found on the map. Some one is always asking, “Who is that military man?” “Bill” used a preventive for meningitis which many immediately began to use as soon as they saw the effect that it had on him. He was a very promi¬ nent member of the “Cow Hays Or¬ chestra” and said that he got a great deal of good out of it. “Bill” has ambitions and no doubt we shall some day hear of him as an “A No. 1.” WILLIAM FOWLER BOUR- LAND Valley Springs Civil Engineering Age 23, weight 145, height 5-8. Sophomore Fish; Veteran of the Lost Cause ; Artillery ; I Co.; Base¬ ball, ’ll; Senior Rifle Club; C. E. Club. “Bill” “Booger” Good old Bill, the Fish’s friend. Bill would much rather talk to a lowly fish than one of his reverend class-mates, and during he long winter nights could often be found in Mr. Fish’s room coaching him on “How to become a corporal or sergeant. ’ We have all wondered what Bill had against the ladies, tor he never troubles them, nor they him. However, Bill is one ot our most esteemed classmates, always the same big-hearted and good- naturea Bill. He is studious, steady and strong in character. In future years, if by chance we meet Bill no doubt we will find him making a mark that will be a credit and honor to his class and to his college. 76 LUTHER JASPER BOWER, Stephenville Agriculture Age 24, height 5-6, weight 155. Senior Rifle Club; Artillery Corps; Veteran Lost Cause; member Hor¬ ticulture Society ; member Scientific Agriculture Association. “Thrippidae” He is earnest and energetic, with an inventive turn of mind. He is studious too, though one would scarcely guess it; but never yet has a Prof, asked him a question that he failed to answer. His capacity for work is something marvelous. Indeed, he is the only man at Col¬ lege who never gets tired. He has never been known to sleep, with the possible exception of a stray nap or two during botany lectures—and that does not count. His one fail¬ ing is that he has an eye for pretty girls. But if he continues to fight this mania for members of the fairer sex, we predict that in the near future he will be a rich and in¬ fluential citizen. In no case will he be a hen-pecked husband.

E.; Chair¬ man Program and Invitation Com¬ mittee Thanksgiving Hop; Capt. and O. O.; Athletic Council. “Sam” “Big Boy” “Steam Roller” Big Boy Sam Bowler came to us a Junior Fish after attending Colo¬ rado University. Owing to his great size and unusual ability he was not backward in n lling over his oppo¬ nents on the gridiron, and was readily dubbed the “Steam Roller.” The “Bowie,- Lope,” a new dance modeled aPer Sam’s artistic gallop down the fcotball field, made quite a hit at college. Having had some practical experience in electrical engineering, he took upon himself to give King Lear a few pointers, but met with, a disasti uus defeat. Sain is a hard student and a good worker and is going to make a big hit witn the world after leaving college. JAMES F.

F.” “Franklin” “Military” Brown is one of the best known cadets on the campus. There is not a “Fish” who docs not look at him in open-eyed wonder and think, “Will I ever be the mil- itary_ genius that he is?” (In fact, “Military” is nothing short of a second Napoleon.) Brown is a faith¬ ful disciple of King Lear and the only Senior who can run a paper, teach Physics, attend to all of his military duties, do society, and make A’s and B’s in all cf his sub¬ jects. ' With his past iccord, he can not help but make good. W ' ADE HAMPTON BURLESON, San Saba Electrical Engineering Age 21, height 6, weight 176. Capt. Co. I ; Corp. Co. M ; Sergt. Co.

San Saba Club. “Wade” “Burley” “San Saba” “Pecans” “Burley” hails from a town in West Texas that lately boasts of a railroad. Polo ponies and trainload pecan shipments. These pecans, ac¬ cording to Burley, are packed in egg crates—two per crate. This man is noted for his military bear¬ ing and has often been mistaken for an army officer. No characteristic in his makeup is more pronounced than his tendency to recite the value of the San Saba country. A problem that is hard for him to solve is whether to make his home in Boston or in Kentucky. As a track man he was well trained from birth, having had experience in chasing jackrabbits through the prickly pears on the streets of San Saba, and in 30-mile jaunts to the nearest railroad. 78 ALLAN BURTON Clarendon Architectural Engineering Age 21, height 5-9, weight 150.

A. “Allan’’ “Allan” holds a Senior rank be¬ low that of a second lieutenant. He is one of the many Sophomore Fish that joined the class of ’13 and his aspirations are to become a great architect, one able to plan sky¬ scrapers in New York City. Burton is a hard working student an de¬ serves great credit. He has prac¬ tically worked his way through col¬ lege and at the same_ time has been keeping up well in his studies. We venture to say that “Allan” will succeed in any line of business, be¬ cause he is a man that will stick to the job. KING C. CADE Burkeville Civil Engineering Age 20, weight 150, height 5-9. Field Battery, East Texas Club, Civil Engineering Society; Veteran of Lost Cause; Senior Rifle Club. “K. C.” Cade is one of those rare speci¬ mens which may be found in the lowlands of East Texas. He came here to show the people how much he knew and to advertise his home district. Almost any time you may find him gazing into space as if he were trying to solve the deep mysteries that lie hidden in the universe, but he is only wondering what she is doi ng back in the piney woods. From his appearance you would judge him as a careless and indifferent fellow, but such is not the case. He is honored by all who know him and It ' s friend¬ ship is held in esteem by those who possess it. 79 R. WOFFORD CAIN Athens Civil Engineering Age 21, height 5-8, weight 145. 1st Lieut Co. C; Sergt. Co. C; Swastika; R. V. ; S. O. L. C. E Society. “Coke” “Abel” “Teddy” “Burr” Coke, the “nit-gallus,” hails from Athens where he was a iruit grower and a breeder of razor-back hogs. He came to college so he could be a civil engineer and learn French. Used to say that he was going to Paris or F.erlin, but since visiting New Braunfels decides that foreign countries don’t suit him. While in New Braunfels Abel went “a-coting,” but did not have much success, for he could only say, “Ich leiber dish.” The girl threw him into a clump of cactus and “Coke” remained in camp the rest of the term. As Coke” has been in Company C for four years it is easy to see that he can make $8000 a year after leaving college. ROBERT E. CALDWELL Bryan Animal Husbandry Age 21, weight 130, height 5-10. Lieut.

Club. “Zeke” Zeke hails from Bryan and is very proud of his native burg. He is Johnnie Burn’s pet and of course made the Chicago Stock Judging Team. The other members of the team did not see much of Zeke while in Chicago, for he stayed with his relative most of the time, he said. He has a very beautiful figure, though he is what Prof. Burns calls “gimlet waisted,” and we presume it is for this reason that he is such a ladies’ man. He is constantly boasting of the number of hearts that he has smashed, but after all Zeke is a pretty good fel¬ low, but always watch him or he will get the best of you in a jewelry trade. 80 PRICE CAMPBELL Weatheriord Electrical Engineering Age 22, weight 145, height 5-11. Field Battery; Veteran of the Lost Cause; Co. Clerk Co. M ; A. I. E. E. Senior Rifle Club. “Price” Anyone wanting information con¬ cerning the address cf any girl at Baylor or Kidd-Key College should apply to Price. One would think, upon hearing Price talk, that he had at some time written to every girl south of the Mason and Dixon line. It is evident that he carries a considerable amount of corre¬ spondence, for that is about all he can be found doing. We predict great things for him, and have no doubt as to his ability to nandle any propositoin that he might un¬ dertake, for his quiet and unassum¬ ing manners will gain strong friends where ever he may go. WALTER W. CARDWELL, Lockhart Animal Husbandry Age 20, weight 145, height 5-10. 1st Lieut. Co. D; R. V., S. A. A.; Vice-Pres. Caldwell-Hays Co. Club ; Soph. Fish; Veteran Lost Cause; Y. M. C. A.; Round Robin; Debating Club. “Happy” “Pete” To look upon this shy, but hand¬ some fellow, one would probably receive the wrong impression of him. He is shy in one respect only., that of writing “mashy” let¬ ters to girls whom he has just met, but this does not hinder him from writing to eight of the fair sex. He has obtained excellency in mil ' tary affairs., and although he drew only a First Lieutenancy he would undoubtedly have been a Cap¬ tain had he not been so unfortunate as to have “locked horns” with the “Bull” on the eve of his entering Bryan society. He combs his hair every night before he goes to bed, and never misses breakfast, for he was raised on hot cakes and “Reg.” TAYLOR LEE CHAMBERS, Sherman Elect rical Engineering Aged 23, weight 145, height 5-8%. A. I. E. E. Field Battery; Veteran of the Lost Cause; Senior Rifle Club. “T. L.” “Beauty is a gift of God,” and our beloved T. L. has often wished that he could be as great on E. E. and shine in the world as does his beauty. T. L. says that he would be more sociable, but talking is too much trouble and takes energy that may be used to a better ad¬ vantaged-sleeping, reading or writ¬ ing to “her.” But you can’t keep a good man down and as he is studious, sincere and earnest in his work, and has an admirable charac? ter, he will before long be a credit to his class and Alma Mater. JAMES WALTER CHEWNING, Goodlett Horticulture Age 24, weight 140, height 5-11. Scientific Agriculture Association; Horticultural Society; Senior Rifle Club. “J. W.” “J. Walter,” “Doctor” J. Walter is one of those hard working beings that make the rest of us look like professional loafers by comparison. But in spite of all the work that this man accom¬ plishes he still finds time to hold a place in the rural social circles lying adjacent to College Station. School teachers seem to be his chief hobby and we trust that he will some day have and be one. J. W. is somewhat a disciple of Dr. Fraps and in addition to emulating this famed scientist’s love of accuracy has also accomplished his smile, which is going some. We cannot do other than foresee a bright future in the scientific field for him. 82 CHARLES CLARENCE CHINSKI Beaumont Civil Engineering Age 20, weight 165, height 5-11. 1st Lieut. Adjt. 3d Battalion: 1st Sergt. Co. I; Pres. Beaumont Club, ’11-’12; member Senior Debating Club; C. E. Society. “Charlie” “General” “Chinski” Charlie hails from the dismal swamps of Beaumont, but is proud of the fact. He loves to boost his home town and is ever ready with an argument when the subject is mentioned. As a student he has an enviable record. His hobby is public speaking and he has an un¬ tiring “line” on some subjects. In military he has also played an im¬ portant part—hence the title “Gen¬ eral.” Charlie is an ardent admirer of the ladies and spends quite a little time in cultivating this admir¬ ation. He is a C. E., however, and must soon depart from the pleasures of society. Nevertheless we expect him to repay the loss with his success. J. W. H. COLLINS Mexia Textile Engineering Age 19, weight 165, height 5-11. 1st Lieut. Co. G; Sergt. Co. G; G-H Football, ’ll; II Company Baseball, ’ll ; College Baseball Team, ’12; Captain Baseball, ’13; Athletic Council; Pres. T. E. Society; Swastika; R. V. “Jimmie” “Jimmie” was raised on the farm, and from this hard and simple life he learned the art of baseball. As soon as he could crawl, his fond father prophesied he would be a great out-fielder, for he was al¬ ways catching flies. While learning to walk, Jimmie always rode the horses to and from the field, and to retain his seat he turned his toes in and locked his little legs fast around the beast, thus the “bow legs” and “pigeon toes.” When plowing he always carried a pocket full of rocks to throw at the rabbits, hence the ‘ ' peg.” But J. W. H. is marvelously bright, and by the use of scientific management has been able to pass his work, read all the books in the library, all he could borrow and keep up with all the popular magazines. 83 EARN TINDALL CONNELLEE, Eastland Agriculture Age 21, weight 145, height 5-9. Lieut. Co. A, T2-’13; S. A. A., ’11-’12, ’12-’13; Veteran Lost Cause, Tl-’12; Corp. Co. M, ’lO-’ll. “Ern” “Connellee” “E. T.” “The longer they come, the worst They get.” Connellee, during his Senior Year, has been famous for two things: on account of his devotion to duty as First Sergeant of the Field Bat¬ tery in reporting absentees from formations, the Bull gave him a saber, and he is famed as the cham¬ pion heart-breaker in the class. No “Fern” can resist the manly beauty of his divine face and form or the literary genius in evidence in his love letters to C. I. A., Kidd-Key, Sam Houston Normal and all the other centers of feminine education. IRA E. COWART San Antonio Horticulture Age 27, height 5-8 weight 147. Student Assistant in Horticulture Department; Vice-Pres. Horticul¬ tural Society; San Antonio Club; Senior Rifle Club; Artillery Corps. “Ira” Ira come to us from sunny Cali¬ fornia. Pie is earnest, sincere and one of the very best students in college. Often times during study hours you may see him sitting as motionless as a bronze figure, with a far-away, dreamy look in his eyes. Then if you mention moonlight and San Diego Bay, and watch the color changes on his countenance you should be able to get a fair index of his thoughts. His ambition is to become a scientist. Success will most assuredly be his in whatever particular branch he may choose. Pie has serious intentions of locating his flower garden in Texas, if he can only induce his lady-fair to leave San Diego Bay. 84 ROMEO W. COX Childress Animal Husbandry Age 24, weight 145, height 5-8, 2d Lieut. Co. C; Sergt. Co. F; Sergt. Artillery; Panhandle Club; Scien¬ tific Agri. Society; Veteran Lost Cause; Y. M. C. A. “Romeo” “Romie” Romie is the hardest worker in the Senior Class. He worked hard for his “second addish,” and his goal was made, his glory attained, and the zenith of his ambition reached when he got it. If it wasn’t for the English Department, Romie would doubtless have reecived his sheepskin last year. He says, “En¬ glish don’t do a farmer no good.” He is very fond of the girls, and walks a mile and a half every week to visit one. Romie has the distinc¬ tion of having worked his entire way through school, and we hope he won’t have to work as hard after he finishes as he did while in school. JOE L. CULBERSON Waxahachie Animal Husbandry Age 22, weight 173, height 5-11. 1st Lieut; Veteran of Lost Cause, ’11-’12; Fort Worth Stock Judging Team, ’11-’12; Chicago Stock Judg¬ ing Team, T2-’13; Scientific Agri¬ culture Association; M Co.

C. ; Wax¬ ahachie Club. “Minnie” “Minnie,” so-called from the fact that what he thought was meningitis proved to be nothing but a “crick- in-the-neck.” He entered as - a Sophomore Fish and immediately became possessed of an undying love for chemistry and entomology. So great was his love that to this day he conducts daily individual re¬ searches in each of the lines of work, but most of his time is spent in an endeavor to find out what it is that puts the smell in the college well water. 85 JOHN NEWTON DAVIS, JR., Hko Civil Engineering Age 21, weight 165, height 6. 1st Lieut Co.

E. to study outside of his class¬ room, and he consequently lives on sleep while in his room. He be¬ lieves that eating and sleeping are the basis of a college education and has succeeded in doing his share of both, neverrheless he seldom faiL to make Li’s and A ' s at the end of the term. John comes from Hico, a place noted for raising A. M. cadets, not the least of whom is John ' s “Old Man,” who carried his sheepskin off long, long ago.

He has had many experi¬ ences in the prep schools of the State and came to us body and soul, but alas 1 his heart was, and still remains, at T. C. U. He is an excellent student and is very quiet, but when with the ladies is very much alive and on the job. 86 HORACE BARTLETT DOWELL.

He was a Christmas Fish and wilder one there never was. He has made a roaring suc¬ cess as a bug hunter and chief counsellor to Johnnie Burns and Doc Francis, but is famous over the campus as a designer of odd uniforms and as a fiddler in the Cow Hays Orchestra. Several times during the year he marched to meals and twice to drill. You need no introduction to “Rusty;” if he likes you he will stick by you, and seldom fails to say, “Kick in with the jits, ‘Bo !’ ” EDWARD DREISS, JR., San Antonio Textile Engineering Age 21, weight 165, height 5-11%. 2d Lieut.

Tennis Club, ’13; Capt. Basketball, ’12-’13; Co. A Baseball, ’12. “Eddie” Eddie was drawn to A. M. by his love for athletics, and his strength of purpose is shown by the fact that he has made good in track, tennis and basketball after trying all branches. Eddie is a great business man and his numer¬ ous business interests cause him to take a trip home about once each month. He has never divulged the nature of his business, but some of his friends have hinted that there is a girl back home. He is a quiet, retiring youngster, and is a stanch friend to those who know him well. He has quite a strong character and promises to succeed in any line of endeavor he enters. 87 EDWARD GRANVILLE EAGLE- STON Smithville Animal Husbandry Age 21, weight 160, height 5-11. Soph.

Quite well did “Polly” know how to keep himself in the place of a “Fish,” for he slept under “Dough” Gil¬ bert’s bed the night of the Junior Banquet. Some girls “have fallen” for his brown eyes and curly hair, but he can’t help it. He wouldn’t part his hair in the middle if he could part it anywhere else. He enjoys the distinction of being the fastest man in the South and we expect him as Captain of the Track Team, this year, to maintain the records of previous years.

E. books, changed his course to “bug” and moved to Pfeuffer Hall. As a result, he graduates without causing a panic in the ranks of “King Lear.” His military appearance and bravery are a guarantee of his being a valuable asset to Uncle Sam, should Japan feel “right.” Plis mastery of war tactics has served him well in his invasion of Bryan’s social cir¬ cles, many of his rivals being routed. His “skiff” is as desirable in this respect as is a dirigible bal¬ loon in time of war. “Bollie” Oliver has threatened to desert “ Tub” and room with Regenbrecht, declaring that Dutch are Dutch, and Reg. does buy his own tobacco. La-a-a Grange is “Tubbie’s” para¬ dise. 88 EUGENE AUGUST EVERSBERG Brenham Agronomy Course Age 21, weight 138, height 5-11. 1st Lieut. Co. H; Corp. Co. H, ’10-’ll; Sergt. Co.

Most of his knowledge is obtained in the classroom, and this he never forgets. Since Christmas he has been taking a course in letter writing and says he is getting very good results. Evers has solved many problems, but he is now trying to solve the problem of high cost of living for two. HARRISON HOWARD FISCHER, Port Arthur Mechanical Engineering Age 23, height 5-11, weight 160.

Harrison says that he has three sins in life—“Eat, read and sleep.” Nevertheless he is a man of sterling quality and will be suc¬ cessful in whatever he undertakes. He is sur e to make his mark in the world and we expect to hear from him in the future. 89 BRANDON FITZPATRICK, Columbus Civil Enginering Age 21, weight 180, height 5-10. Trophy Sergt.

He is one of those peculiar specimens of humanity who would much rather peel a bronc than run an instrument. In fact, Fitz has high ideas of becoming a road agent or a Mexican brigand chief, but we all doubt that he will accomplish his wishes, for he would soon settle down on a quiet farm and raise chickens. P. S.—One of Irish’s favorite past- pastimes is killing flies with a knife. EDMUND JONES FOUNTAIN, JR. Bryan Architectural Engineering Age 17, height 5-11, weight 136. 2d Lieut. Co. B; Sergt. Co.

During his Freshman and Sophomore years Little Deak adopted the Blue Book word for word and lived up to it. In his Junior year, however, Lit¬ tle Deak abandoned the oeaceful walls of his uncle’s home and went to Tent Row. It was here that he forgot his Blue Book and became a real cadet. In his studies he is a wonder, and will some day be one of the leading architects of the country. 90 ; WILLIAM ALLEN FRENCH, JR. Kaufman Civil Enginering Age 20, weight 138. height 5-10. 2d Lieut.

This characteristic probably helped to detain him in the Physic Depart¬ ment for more than the allotted number of hours, for “Cap” liked cheerful dispositions, especially those who enjoyed his jokes. Will Allen has always been active in the social affairs of the college and has made some good friends. One of these is Peter Wad, who looks after him while they are in Bryan and gets him back safely, for which he should have Will Allen’s undying gratitude. LOUIS FRIES, JR.

B. Louie is a natural leader, as is shown by his well drilled company, and by the way he led “Cow” Hays through the mud alter they had seen Sergeant Kenney on the car going to town. 91 HORACE S.

In the history of the school this is the first instance of a man entering the senior class, but this fair lad was a belligerent insurrecto at ihe Mississippi A. M., where he was Captain and Adjutant as weil as Treasurer of his class annual. He has gained many friends during his short year with us and we are glad to have known such an admirable young man.

C, the original home of the incubator products. Me is the most honest cadet on the campus—so honest that the Bull knows every¬ thing that goes wrong in the neigh¬ borhood of Foster Hall. He is the most widely traveled man in the Senior Class. In fact, one Bryan girl said that she would have to read Shakespeare so she could hold a conversation with him. This would go to show that he has a truly —uh-er-uh — Cosmopolitan knowl¬ edge. 92 WILLIE BELEW GIST Nocona Civil Enginering Age 23, weight 175, height 5-10. Field Battery; North Texas Out; Civil Engineering Society; Senior Debating Society; Veteran of Lost Cause. “W. B.” Gist is a prominent member of the C. E. Class and from all sides receives worthy commendations as a faithful and hardworking student. With his ability and perseverance he will succeed in any line of civil engineering he enters and we pre¬ dict for him an award of happiness and are certain that we shall some day, as we do npw, feel proud of having known him as a classmate. J. de la M. GONZALEZ, JR., Nuevo Laredo, Mex. Civil Engineering Age 20, height 5-11, weight 155. Field Battery; Veteran of the Lost Cause; Civil Engineering Society ; Senior Rifle Club. “Gon” “Jose” About four years ago “Gon” was imported into Texas that he might learn more of military tactics and the art of war in order that he would be fully capable when it came his time to start an insur¬ rection in that stormy country of his. While here he has become distinguished in history, but has not made quite as rapid progress in military, although he is a good student. Gonzalez is a good-natured fellow, always ready to lend assist¬ ance and has many friends among his classmates. 93 ROY GRISSOM, Los Angeles, Cal. Civil Engineering Age 22, weight 190, height 6.

M. and entered as a Junior Fish. With quite an athletic reputation to sustain, he has worked faithfully, has made the college one of its best athletes and in every way has lived up to our highest expectations. He keeps in training practically the entire year, his chief work out consisting of climbing a certain hill in Bryan on Sunday nights. JOHN DAVIS HALE Anson Electrical Engineering Age 22, height 5-11, weight 165. E Co. Fish; E Co. Corp.; E Co. Sergt.; E Co. Capt; R. V.; Swastika; E Co. Football. “John D.” “Jew” “John D.’s” military career did not begin at A. M., for he served for a year at the Peacock Military Academy, where he became tamous as a student of great generals, and this early training landed birr a captainship. “Jew” is a nick-name which was applied to him during his Freshman year, and he wants it understood that he is not a Hebrew, although he does not care who knows that his “affectionate one” is a Jew. In practical E. E. John is a success, but Bolton’s Junior theory was quite a handicap and has caused him no little amount of anxiety. We all, however, have our troubles and John is well equip¬ ped to fight the battles of life. 94 GEORGE GRAHAM HALL, Houston Horticulture Age 22, weight 155, height 5-8.

Ass’n; Horticultural Society. “Gee Gee” “Doc” “A cheerful disposition is a bless¬ ing,” then truly is “Gee Gee” blest, for naught can break the cheery tenor of his way. The Glee Club has always been his pet hobby, not only occause he is a lover of music, but because it gives him a comrade- rie that means so much in college life. Then, too, the annual sortie into the realm of the fair sex by this club places “Gee Gee” in his true element, for his admiration foi the ladies is only equaled by his success. “Gee Gee,” it has been a pleasure to have known you. May you succeed in your undertakings and may the oranges from your grove top the market. ERVIN WILLIAM HARRISON. JP. Greenville Agriculture Age 21, weight 145, height 6. 2d Lieut. Co.

Be¬ sides being a good student Erve is a literary man of note, being Editor- in-Chief of the Student F armer, and the success of this publication is due to his untiring efforts. “Bull” Fenton realized that he was a mil¬ itary genius and rewarded him with a Sergeantship. June 25th will find “Hooky” steaming southward for Brazil where he enters the service of the Government and we will some day read of him as the Brazil¬ ian Commissioner of Agriculture. 95 JOHN RUTLEDGE HILL, Wills Point Civil Engineering Age 21, height 5-9, weight 130. 2d Lieut.

R., ’09-’i0, T0-T1; sole member Ancient Order Piccarine Tooters. “Perch” “Beautiful” and “Precious” are among the affectionate titles that have been bestowed upon him by someone as a token of love and esteem. “Perch” hails from the brushy woods of Van Zandt County, and is always telling of Wills Point, although freciuently he mentions Edgewood. He is a very studious boy and is never without a book (a la magazine). He toots the “pickereen” and from his youthful appearance one would think he plays the instrument for which he is most suited. His height of am¬ bition is to become a great C. E., but in fits of disheartenment he sometimes threatens to get married. 96 CHAS. J. HOLLAND Brownwood Chemical Engineering Age 21, weight 150, height 6. Corp. Co. D; Sergt. Co. H; Capt. Co. H; Pres. Senior Chemical Engi¬ neering Society; Round Robin Debating Society. “Charles” Charles has his good points, but he tries to conceal the fact from his Profs. Whatever he lacks above the eyes, he must be credited with a tongue that all but sees. He thinks with that tongue and when once started, all Blake cannot stop it. But to do him justice, Charles disclaims all responsibility for the rest of the Senior Chemical Engi¬ neering section, even though “it” is a rival for all honors in their department.

His orchestra was a howling success, but owing to legal interference enjoyed only a short season. This man has held three senior ranks; three times a Major, and only by diving from the trolley into Pott’s good (?) roads on a rainy njght, barely succeeded in saving his fourth rank. “Cow” made his debut in society in his Senior year on a wholesale scale by taking sev¬ enteen college widows in a flock to the movies. “Cow” is V.-P. and Gen. Mgr. of the Smithville division of the M., K. T. and discusses Katy problems from sniping to blinding freights to Bastrop. WILLIAM JESSE HEFNER, Cuero Electrical Engineering Age 21, weignt 170, height 6-2. Artillery Corps; Veteran or the Lest Cause; Corp. Co. H; A. I. E. E “Bill” “Bill,” as he is best known to his classmates, hails from the now famous city of Cuero. However, he disclaims all responsibility of being the originator of the “turkey trot,” and it must be understood that Wil¬ liam is very modest and unassum¬ ing. “Bill” is not especially inter¬ ested in poultry, but electricity and things, mostly things. He claims that the best field lies in the con¬ struction branch of electrical engi¬ neering. His ambition must be to erect a power plant at Cuero, but one cannot always tell just exactly why. He sometimes says that the best paying proposition would be to go into nartnership with “King Lear” in the contracting business. 97 L. ALLISON HUDGINS Houston Chemical Enginering Age 20, height 5-11, weight 156. Pres. Houston Club; Pres. Senior Chemical Engineering Society; K. K.; R. V.; Company Clerk Co L; 2d Lieut. Co. L; L Co. Baseball; Team, ’12. “Allison” Allison once took C. E., but changed to Chem. E. in order that he could stand at the head of his class occasionally, as the only other member of his class is Charles Hol¬ land. It is still a question among these two as to who shall be Presi¬ dent of the Chemical Engineering Society. Allison once distinguished himself as a company flunk, but his greatest reputation lies in his sar¬ casm and good looks, as those are bis strongest points. A girl once said that he had a very passable mouth. On account of that he wouldn’t grow a mustache when the Senior contest was on. But Allison is a very complicated sort of a per¬ son and we never know what he is going to do next. The numerous channels his thoughts traverse are remarkable, for he knows absolutely a little about everything—including chemistry. JESSE WILBURN JACKSON, Kosse Agronomy Age 27, weight 130, height 5-7. Sergt. Co. C; Capt. Co. C ; member S. A. A.; Pres, of CAC03 Club ; S. O. L. “Yak” “Being good is a mighty lonesome job.” Jack is a native of Kosse and comes to us well recommended as a “lady’s man.” From all reports of his closer associates he is still living up to his reputation. He has high hopes of becoming a great “bug hunter” some day, and thinks of going to Argentine for experience in this line. His determination to secure an education is very com¬ mendable and he is one of a very few students who passed through two strikes. He carries with him the well wishes of a host of friends. 98 MEREDITH HADDEN JAMES, Bryan LEMNET MONROE JOHNSTON, Bryan Horticulture Mechanical Engineering Age 22, weight 150, height 5. A. A. S. A.

Since the Bull was initiated to the Masonic Lodge Meredith claims that he can wear “cits any time he wants to, especially to hops. His favorite amusement is training a Van Dyke like Dr. Ball’s. He ex¬ pects to write a book some day on “Fighting Society and Passing Age 22, weight 156, height 5-8 Veteran Lost Cause; M. E. Society; Clerk Co. D; Senior Rifle Club. “Granny” Granny is a quiet, good natured fellow who has made many friends while at college. He has always shown much more mechanical than military aptitude, for to him there is more melody in the hum of ma¬ chinery than in martial music. He is as fond of his pipe as a modern day society woman is of her “poodle dog.” For three years he held down the first file of D Company’s first squad, but now he and “Cop” Forsyth are living a life of comfort in North End. Before taking up with “Cop” Regenbrecht was his most loyal friend and companion as well as “secretary to the Company Flunk.” Next year Grannie will probably get either McMillan’s or Bechert’s job, for he is quite a chum of Emile.

Kaufman County Club; C. E. Society. “Ham” “High Pressure” “Horse- Power” “H. P.” “High Pressure,” as the B Com¬ pany fish have named him, started life as a Sophomore fish on Tent Row. He is a fine student, keeping well up in class work, without much studying. He has the distinction of bei ng the only Senior able to catch a C. E. Professor in an errror. His favorite pastime is going to the movies, hiding behind box cars from the Bull and sleeping through breakfast. Like all great men, he has his one weakness—he has more hearts than a cat has lives, but so far has succeeded in placing only six of them. He will appreciate it if anyone knowing where he can place the rest will notify him. JOHN FINLEY JOPLIN, Sipe Springs Agronomy Age 20, height 5-8, weight 140. Sergt. Co. F, ’11-’12; 1st Lieut. Co. F, ’12-’13; member S. A. A., Tl-’12, T2-T3; R.

His nickname was originally “Moses,” and was given to him on account of his close observance of the rules, and his valiant attempts to follow in the footsteps of “Bull Moses.” He is a positive marvel in the class¬ room and has never made but one “C” while at college, the others all being A’s and B’s. When “Mose” was a mere youth an inci¬ dent occurred which greatly affected him in later life. His one and only best girl jilted him, and since then he has never looked upon the coun¬ tenance of a fair young maiden. He has been seen to go a hundred yards out of his way to avoid the sight of woman. 100 LOUIS P. JOSSERAND Groveton Architectural Engineering Age 22, weight 138, height 5-S. Artillery Corps; Medal Winner M Co., ’12; Architects’ Club; four years a private. “Josh” “L. P.” “Buster” “Josh” hails from the sawmill town of Groveton and doesn’t care who knows it. His military record is a clear one, for his desires lead in the direction of intellectual at¬ tainments, rather than to military achievements. “Josh” was sur¬ prised one day when the Bull noti¬ fied him that he had “absented him¬ self twenty-two days from all mili¬ tary duties without proper author¬ ity.” Seriously, “Josh” is an all¬ round good fellow, is the life of section seventy-five, a happy-go- lucky Frenchman, and we bid him Godspeed and good luck as he leaves our Alma Mater. JULES KELLER Houston Electrical Engineering Age 20, height 5-7, weight 140. E. E.; Sec.-Treas. Houston Club; Veteran of Lost Cause. ’11-’12; Ar¬ tillery Corps; A. I. E.

He is a ladies’ man from start to finish and made a rep. along this line while at Summer Camp at New Braunfels. He has always taken great interest in the mail and was “Johnny on the Spot” before the mail window three times a day. He is not what one might call a big man in statue, but he is every inch a good fellow. Always (exams excepted) jolly and care¬ free, he is popular with everybody and, further, he knows everybody and everybody knows him. The saying that “You can’t keep a good man down” will certainly apply to Keller. 101 I K CHARLES PATRICK KELLY. JR. New York, N. Y. Agriculture Age 21, weight 170, height 6-1.

He has a striking resemblance to our friend Julius Caesar in that he says, “Veni, vidi, vici.” He has but one ambition, that being to follow in the footsteps of our benighted roadster, “A No. 1.” As soon as school is over he is long gone to the Fiji Islands where he has a position as “Assist¬ ant Professor of Scientific Manage¬ ment” in the whys and wherefores of the proper training of hogs to eat politely.

Football Team, ’8-’09. ’09-’10, ’10-T1,’11-T2,’12-T3. “Tommie” Blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow as cheerful as today. “Tommie” is a lover of the ladies, the precious weed and other good things of life. Of unfailing cheer¬ fulness, he lets tomorrow’s troubles account for themselves and lives to¬ day as it is. He has knack of getting along with everyone and will succeed in life. His great ambition is to go high in the E. E. world. 102 I CHAS. H. KOINM Aldine Electrical Engineering Age 23, weight 170, height 6-1. Member Senior Debating Club and A. I. E. E. Field Battery. “Charlie” “Charlie” goes to A. M. dur¬ ing the winter months and works in the oils holds of South Texas- dur¬ ing the summer. Charlie is a hard •vorker and very quiet and therefore not much is seen or heard of him. He doesn’t say much unless spoken to and keeps most of h ; s thoughts to himself. This, one might say, is an excellent quality and is the es¬ sence of a shrewd business man. Charlie’s tongue will never get him into trouble, but if he should ever happen to let his mustache and whiskers grow wild it would be to the lock-up for him. ALFRED C. A. KRAEGE, Yorktown Electrical Engineering Age 21, weight 143, height 6. 2d Lieut. Co. E; Corp. Co. E; Drill Medal Co. E, TO; Y. M. C. A.; A. I. E. E. “Amos” “Alfred” This quiet lad hails from York¬ town, the “city” already made famous by the renowned “Caesar Helm.” . Unlike his noble prede¬ cessor, Alfred has given athletics very little consideration, having de¬ voted his time wholly in following the steps of Faraday Ampere and Volta, and through the mysterious maizes tf “E. E.” For two years he withstood the hardships of Tent Row, and would have lived there the last year only “Jack” Anderson beat him to it. “Amos” should have taken “C. E.,” because it is vnderstood that he has served time as a chainman, and has been trust¬ ed with a rod, but he says that he is going to be an electrical engi¬ neer, and if he does as well out in the world as he has done under “King Lear” and Doc Bolton we see no reason why he should not finish up on top. 103 ERNST WILLIAM LAAKE, New Ulm Horticulture Age 25, weight 160, height 5-11%. 1st Lieut.

Naturally mod¬ est and retiring, Laake bucked the battle-scarred line of Bryan society only a few times, until by chance he fell in love with a bewitching maid who adorns the stage. Laake had large visions of South America, and spoke of a honeymoon on the Atlantic until one day the one to decide the honeymoon question sent a message saying, “Go, dear, I’ll wait.” Unfortunately he had to stay here five vears in older to take up “dem taps.” EDWIN S.

While he was a mere “creature” he acquired the habit of leading his classes and cornering the supply of A’s and now he can rush Bryan Society with an easy conscience. None of us are perfect, so we can’t blame “Husky” for rooming with “Mick” Langdon. 104 GRADY J. LANE Valley Mills Agriculture Age 23, height 3-11, weight 161. F Co., ’09-’10; K Co.

Grady surprised his fel¬ low-cadets in Dallas last fall. Up to that time he did not have very much of a reputation as a “ladies’ man,” but when he appeared at the Fair Grounds with three fair dam¬ sels in tow, a distinct shock was felt by his friends. Grady seriously considered going to South America and staying for three years, but he has reconsidered and says Texas is the place for him. He claims that his mother is the cause of his not going, but most of us think that the girl at C. I. A. refused to go with him.

Senior Prom. “Mick” “Shorty” “Sol” Mick is an earnest disciple of Dr. Morgan. Although he is very short in stature he more than makes up for it with his business ability. He is business manager of the Student Farmer and is making a great suc¬ cess of it. Mick is one of the clev¬ erest and most industrious men we have in the school. He makes very numerous trips to Bryan on Student Farmer business, maybe, but from the way he “cokes” at times we think it must be something else. It is too bad that he and “Husky” can’t get married, for they have lived happily together for four years, a fact which speaks well for both of them. 105 ERNST LANGFORD Bertram Architectural Enginering Age 23, height 6, weight 5-5. 2d Lieut.

Societj ' . “Sam” “Ross 30” Ernst Langford, alias “Jeff,” the sunny-haired physics fiend from Bertram, is a denizen of third stoop Rcss and tee junior member of the firm of “Ross 30.” He is often heard in the wee small hours of night emitting his blood-curdling yell, “Viva Medero!” He follows the noble calling of architectuial engineering and seems to have miss¬ ed his calling in life. His highest ambition is to pull the throttle of a locomotive on the overland express, but he is better fitted to wear the robes of a priest and to pray people out of purgatory than to be en¬ trusted with the valuable lives of thousands! of our American citizens. JOSEPH PAUL LIDIAK Muldoch Mechanical Engineering Age 22, weight 150, height 5-9. Sergt. Field Battery; Veteran of the Lost Cause; M. E.

He is quiet, cool headed and weighs his words carefully. Oc¬ casionally did lie procrastinate, but more often did he surprise his class¬ mates and Profs, with A’s. VVe feel certain that Lidialc will go out into the world determined to face it boldly and to fight his battles man¬ fully. We are equally positive that he will easily break down the steel door to success and know that our expectations are not unwarranted. 106 LEON VICTOR LIENHARD, Cuero Civil Engineering Age 21, weight 158, height 5-11.

His specialty is taking Glee Club trips to various girls’ schools of the State, where he never fails to create a sensation. He is taking a course in Civil Engineering, but whether it takes or not is largely dependent upon the good will of the “originator of the Epsilon Club.” He, with other members of the club, is taking special interest in some of his laboratory prac tice; in fact, such a keen interest that he will continue their work in this department another term.

He came into this world a baby and spent most of his child¬ hood days on the Texas Plains. He naturally inherited a roving spirit from this environment. A young¬ ster he ventured forth into the un¬ known wilderness and accidentaly came across Iowa Park. He has been in captivity there ever since. His favorite topics are, “oil on dad’s land,” and C. I. A. He often gets in earnest and will look at a book as often as once a week. He is all to the good though when it comes to the finale. He is se¬ riously considering a change in h ' s course from Agriculture to Corre¬ spondence. If practice makes per¬ fect, he will be a wonder in this profession. .. 107 i W. R. LOCKETT Cleburne Agriculture Age 22, height 5-10, weight 162. English-Scotch-Irish Descent; Pres. Johnson County Club, ’13; Irieut. Co. G; member Johnson County Club. “W. R.” “Curlew” Here is an ideal farmer. He is continually talking of the modem conveniences he is going to have in his farm home. His whole am bition centers around his wife (whc is to be). We believe that Mrs. Lockett will have easy sailing as long as the sky is clear. Lockett is a faithful follower of “Johnny” Burns, at least you would think so from the number of excursions he makes to the breeding station. He must be particularly interested in poultry, for when he comes back he talks of nothing but ducks. Di¬ versified stock farming is his call¬ ing, ducks are his hobby, loving wife is his ambition, success is his goal. MARTIN GORMAN LODAL, Jordan Agronomy Age 22, weight 160, height o. 1st year G Co. 2d and 3d year private in K Co.; Veteran of Lost Cause; private in Artillery Corps; membei of Scientific Agr.

He has an increased height of six inches, wears a four-inch larger belt, shoes lout numbers larger, a size larger hat and weighs a third more. From the start he has been very studious and has always made good grades in everything except perhaps En¬ glish, which he says completel} stumps him. Without a doubt he will make a success of anything which he undertakes and wc expect great things of him in the future. 108 JOHN HENRY-LORENZ, Stockdale Mechanical Engineering Age 20, weight 148, height 5-0. Field Battery; Veteran of Lost Cause; M. E. Society; Senior De¬ bating Club; Senior Rilie Club. “John Henry” Stockdale. Undobtedly when we hear or read of that place in future life it will remind us of our old classmate, Henry Lorenz, who made himself famous in all of his studies. Of course Henry always loved to be flattered, to be called the wisest of all the class; it made him work all the harder. It will not be surpris¬ ing if some morning we all awake to see Henry Lorenz’s name on the front page of the papers, telling of his remarkable invention over¬ throwing all the laws of chemists, physicists, etc. Truly, he has a wonderful mind, a capacity for making his thoughts clear, and with all these accomplishments, he is bound to succeed.

He and “Cow” Hays oranized an orchestra and have midnight sere¬ nades to tiieir fellow-students until all of their instruments were played out. As long as “Dough” Meece was here his greatest admirer and closest friends was “Guy” Lott. This probably explains wny Guy is now Manager of the Basebafl Team. New Braunfels society will suffer very much next summer on account of the absence of a very popular caoet from summer school, for Guy says that he is bound for Korea, where Meece is. 109 FRANKLIN DAVID LOWN, Thornton Ariculture Age 22, weight 197, height b-S 1 ?.

He is troubled with the same disease that is par¬ ticular to A. M. cadets. Besides this serious ailment he was afflicted with measles and was confined for some time with Prof. Nichols. “Shorty” has had all the news agencies grabbed for several years and with Lane controlled all the happenings of the day. He is an industrious, hard-working and am- bit- ' ous student and should succeed in his calling. JOHN VINSTON LYLES.

He also has a trait of character which gains for him whatever he sets his heart upon. He thought that he would like to be a football man, and with great success accom¬ plished this and more; he became a hero of the gridiron. Last, but not least, he set his heart upon a rank. He gained his point and was annointed First Sergeant of the Ar¬ tillery Corps, but was later nro- moted to the rank of a staff officer. 110 JAMES MILTON McDONALD. Ozona Electrical Engineering Age 25, weight 145, height 5-8. Sen ' or Private; member of Veterans of Lost Cause; Corp. Co.

Although Mac” js rather quiet he made people know that he was around one day when he made an unsuccessful at- tempt to destroy the ancient Bat Ro st bv shooting the rods which hold it together. Some seem to think that “Mac” had other views in mind when he did this, but no one knows. When asked about it he talks so long and slow that no one has ever waited to get ths answer. ROBERT H.

It is safe to say that anywhere the Glee Club has performed there will you find in every girl’s room a portrait of this heart-smasher. His correspon¬ dence is so heavy that he employs a band “fish” to notify him when an answer is due one of his fair cor¬ respondents. Bob is a hail fellow, well met, and his sunny disposition will everywhere win him a host of friends. Ill I RICHARD S. MILLER San Saba Ariculture Age 22, weight 140. height 5-9. Capt. Co. F; Sergt.

Dick” Dick” hails from San Saba. He is one of “Johnnie” Burns’ most de¬ voted followers and is a stock judge of no mean ability. “Dick” is a pjtcher of no small ability and for three years has won the cham¬ pionship of the Second Battalion for his company. He will probably win his “T” this year. At present Varsity and C. I. A. are the stron¬ gest bidders for his affections, but of course there are several minor ones. “Dick” has another very valuable asset. His flights of ora¬ tory place him in the same class with Daniel Webster and “Dutch” Hohn. His ability in this line is due to the early training he re¬ ceived in his native village of San Saba. Taking him all around “Dick” is one of the finest fellows in school and his graduation will be a great loss to the school. WILLIAM ZACHARY MILLER, Floresville Agronomy Age 28, weight 160, height 11.

He is ex-Captain of the Artill.ery, and on the disbanding of this organiza¬ tion was promoted to the staff. “W. Z.” is one of our most indus¬ trious “bug hunters,” and, but for the girls, like nothing better than to study “bug hunting.” He loves the girls and is dangerously at¬ tractive to all of them. That he will make a great success in life is without question when we see how easily he overcomes all the ob¬ stacles in his course. 112 E.

H.” Herbert has held ranks, and good ones, ever since he entered the col¬ lege. Corporalships, First Sergeant- ships and Captainships followed one another with rapid succession, and after reaching the height of his ambition he decided to resign from military life and joined the artil¬ lery corps. “E. H.” is known by every member of his class and liked by all who know him. He is somewhat of a mischief-maker, in addition to his excellent work in “Cow” Hays Orchestra. Herbert is devoting his entire time to Civil Engineering work and should be¬ come quite proficient in this line. FRED LAWRENCE MONT¬ GOMERY Emhouse Civil Engineering Age 21, height 6-5, height i75.

Nevertheless his musical talent has never been ' ■eglected, tor on occasions when the lights gq out in Mitchell Mali the cadets never fail to hear the sweet strains of “My Old Kentucky” Home.” He was among the members wounded at Camp Moses, and was forced to return to College in the ambulance. “Red” is a mathematician of no mean ability and is considered one of the best men in the C. E. class. 113 ROBERT WALKER NOLTE, New Orleans Electrical Engineering Age 20, height 5-11, weight 145, 2d Lieut. Co. F; A. I. E. E. “Nolte” Nolle is one of our two Junior fisn. He comes from the City of New Orleans, where he attended Tulane University for three years, and was a Fraternity man. It has always been a source of perplexity to liis classmates why he should leave the pleasant wall of a co-ed. school to come to those of a bache¬ lor school. However, it has been rumored that the reason why was because Nolte found it very dif¬ ficult to keep his mind on his studies at the above school, and being very anxious to become an electrical engineer came to this school. We are all aware of the fact that it is very difficult for a man to enter a school in an ad¬ vanced class and make good. Mr. Nolte has been somewhat of an exception, for after only one year’s stay he was given a commission in Co. F. In this roll he is very proficient and to hold reviclle has been his main hobby.

From the time he was a fish in F company, his jovial, happy-go-lucky disposi¬ tion has won him many stanch friends among his classmates, fellow cadets and professors. Being nat¬ urally very bright, he leaves a clear record behind him in his studies. His classmates will always enter¬ tain a warm feeling tor the mis- chiefmaker of their class and their best wishes go with J.

Pat is one of these happy-go-lucky fellows who never worry about anything. He is a horticulturist and is one of Prof. Kyle’s main stays. He is one of our best men in basketball this year, and it is to be regretted that such a valuable athlete will be un¬ able to return next year, for he is Argentine bound.

He comes from the rural districts oi Lockhart. Olie is possessed of a very quiet and timid disposition, yet his love for the fairer sex is re¬ markable. .The class is proud of Olie; everybody likes him. But his distinction as a favorite is among the professors. He was never known to fail and always knows It ' s lesson. With his bushel of brains, love of “bug hunting,” natural adaption to scientific prob¬ lems, we feel sure that he will some dav add glory to old A. M. and himself bv taking a Ph. D. in the Fatherland. 115 r ffil NUGENT L. OLIPHANT Rice Civil Engineering Age 20, weight 142, height 5-11. Band; C. E. Society; Veteran cf Lost Cause; Pres. Navarro County Club, ’ll-’12; Y. M. C.

Baseball, ’12. “Baby Doll” “Babe” is a ladies’ man, if not, why has he so many bewitching maidens smiling down from the walls of his room? His spare time is divided between Kidd-Key and Rice. “Babe” has never uttered a profane word since he entered the portals of A. M. Naturally he is a good student or this would not be the case. Since the Senior mus¬ tache contest begun the railroads have been congested with carload lots of “Herpicide and Auxilerator” for the wonderful growth on his up¬ per lip. Nugent is the original “coke” fiend. If “coking” was music he would be a glee club, orchestra and brass band combined. “Babe’s” sole ambition is to be¬ come as near like “Ivory Top” as nossible.

For three years he made nightly visits to a creamery, but now is a night guard and says, “Beware to the prowlers.” As he is a nephew of Bull Moses he was made a Corporal and ever smee has been a great believer in milita ' y affairs. Plis war cry is, “Back to the far.nl” and he in¬ tends to get his roommate, “Tubby” Ehlinger.” or: the farm and laise peanuts and “Razorback hogs.” 116 JOHN N.

He hails from Galveston and right here is an opportune lime to say that he lived with ease through the great flood. The reason for this is ob¬ vious, for we all know of his great length. John believes in “love at first sight,” for as a Junior he tried it at Welborn, and ever since that has played Welborn society. How¬ ever, John is one of the many who are working their way through school, and has made an excellent record in his classes. He is not afraid of work, a fact which will, without a doubt, lead him to suc¬ cess. WILLIAM ALVA ORTH Yoakum Architectural Engineering Age 21, height 6-1, weight 165. Lieut.

He is a man who is able to take life as it comes, get plenty of rest (accent on the plenty) and still maintain a high standard of work. Well, that is not all that interests this versatile man who fully realizes that a man is not complete alone, and William does all in his power to vary the mo¬ notony of a bachelor existence. He likes “them” and those who know say that it is mutual, but down in his heart he is true to someone and eventually-.

Blondy” “Pinkey” To look at that perpetual smile one would never think that “Blondy” once had a severe disappointment in love. “Blondy” thought _ that the fair one was a “Peach,” but alas! after the disaster his daddy’s jewelry store was not returned. Heartbroken and all desire to live gone, he enteied A. M. and de¬ cided to become a follower of King Lear. Here he was dubbed “Pinkey,” and now with “that smile” he is approaching the end of his college career. With a thorough knowledge of economics he hopes to “manage,” with the aid of the above mentioned jewelry store, to reclaim his lost love and settle down to a happy married life.

He has the distinction of being the only sur- vivor of the charter members of Co. PI, now, in college. He holds his own among the noted singers of the campus and the stirring base notes of his mellow voice may Ire heard at all hours at night in Legett Hall. “Rags” is a good and deserving fellow, a friend to all who know him and is worthy of success. 118 CLAY ADLAI ROBERTS, Beaumont Agriculture Age 20, weight 150, height 5-10. 2d Lieut.

It certainly does not refer to his mental capacity. Bats” made good as a “Soph. Fish,” and his quiet manners, coupled with his athletic ability, has made him many friends. He is an excellent student, having the honor of never flunk¬ ing in a subject. Though too light for college football, he has starred on his company’s team since en¬ tering college. If present indica¬ tions are true, “Bats” will some day be the leading rice farmer of Texas, as he says, “rice and water are the whole crop around home,” and it’s safe to predict that he won’t leave Beaumont unless she accom¬ panies him. He is an ardent ad¬ mirer of Professor “Johnnie.” FRANK ALLEN ROBERTS. Austin Civil Engineering Age 20, weight 170, height 6-2. 1st Lieut, and Adjt. 1st Bat.; Reg. Sergt. Maj.; Sec. and Treas.

But up till now he has not figuered one out for the Bull. He also has the habit of making one feel very small, especially when he is in a crowd. “Private” belongs to the clean sleeve bunch and when he heard that he was reduced he became s o indignant that he went off on a wild goose chase to Austin, but he says that his time is coming. “Private” is a student of Civil Engineering, but does not seem to know it until about two days be¬ fore exams, when he gets busy and passes everything. His eye and nerve are as remarkable as his in¬ tellect, for he is probably the best young rifle shot in Texas. 119 JOSEPH GUY ROLLINS, Merit Civil Engineering Age 19, weight 160, heignt 3-9. 2d Lieut.

He has an ambition to out¬ rank any of his many brothers that have gone before him in their own profession. He is a studious boy and takes great interest in his work. During the last term it was an every day thing fer him to desert nis sec¬ tion about 9 a. m. and go wandering over about the postoffice to get that letter from C. I. A.

At no time could you find him when he was too busy to lend his help to any of the boys and by so doing he won the love and admiration of all. His record in school was one that every boy should use as the zenith of his ambition, for it is not going to die when he leaves school, but will live after him. We will look some day and see his name written in the hall of fame, and on this account will pardon the fact that he was “Whiskey Pete’s” guardian for two years. 120 ALBERT FAWCETT SAYERS, Houston Civil Engineering Age 21, height S-8 1 , weight 135. 2d Lieut.

M. lie was one of the “freshest fish” that walked. ’Tis said that he was implicated in painting “1913” on the standpipe, and lost about six months’ growth for fear that he would be found out. Albert is taking C. E., because he has come to the conclusion that it is the “only” occupation. Most of his previous and outside work has been in engineering and that, with his work here, makes him the superior of the average student when a good and practical engineer is needed.

He was a surprise to the fellows in the De.Tune Machine Co., Waco, even before coming to A. 5: M. and was fast acquiring this honor here, until, alas! he met the little girl who ruined his heart. His energetic na¬ ture is often interrupted by that medium and it takes more than noise to force his mind away from “Love Dreams” back to “Thermo” Ches ' stry. 121 RICHARD R.

It is needless to say with his great frame and strength what he could have accomplished had he only appled himself. His great failings were girls and trips. He was forever making the Stock Judg¬ ing ' Team, which meant trips and new girls on the string. We ah know what a grand time he had with Richard Miller at Waco, and with Polly at Chicago.

He still has time, however, for debating clubs, tennis and Bryan society. He made his debut during the Junior year, but is now a recluse and his deepest thoughts are centered on a far-away co ed. He and “Little Deac” are the youngsters of our bunch, but truly they evidently absorbed an enormous amount of knowledge while attending kindergartens and prep schools—or is it because bril¬ liance runs in their respective fami¬ lies?

He has been a member of Co. C for several years and his dry wit and humor has always been a source of amusement to his friends. Old reg¬ ular now belongs to the gang that push the big guns around, lie is out of place here, for he is a mili¬ tary genius and would no doubt have been Colonel this year if he hadn’t argued with Bull Fenton that such men as Tinsley and Guggen- heimer were hy far greater than Napoleon.

That his record was a good one is shown by his career in “A” Company and by the position of trust as one of the members of the Students’ Coun¬ cil given him by the class. His was a quiet and reserved nature and all those fortunate enough to enjoy his acquaintance honored his integ¬ rity of character. Here’s wishing Wallace the best there is in life. 124 ELO HENRY STELZIG, Fayetteville Agriculture Age 25, height 5-11, weight 170. Member Sci. Agri.

As Greece is proud of her son Socrates, so will Missouri be justly proud of this latter-day Socrates, whom Tex¬ as cheerfully claims as her adopted son. “D. T.” is the father of the Horticultural Society and an ardent disciple of Kyle, though with a tendency to wander to entomology. While working in the “insectary” he was bitten by the “speaking bug” and now makes speeches w ' henever the opportunity presents.

Why, that is “Dough” Stone, the guy from Gatesville, the National Guardsman, the unfortunate who lost a $5 bill in Bryan and the doubting Thomas who says, “Fesser, I don’t believe that.” He entertains the Senior A. H. men with his dry Irish wit and “monkey shines” and heips them through their many trials and tribulations. All the buglers wor¬ ship their chief and in return “Dough” loves everv man in his charge, even “F : sh” McDougall. The fact that “Dough” is a great commander is shown by the control he has over such a bunch of “wind¬ jammers.” Animal Husbandry Age 20, weight 150. height 5-8. Co. Football, ’12-’13; R.

He is a “Bad Man.” When a “fish” he was found early one morning chastising one of his fellow-“bug hunters” for going wrong. And now in his Senior year he is the proud possessor of a Colt’s automatic and takes great pleasure in shooting up his lower ranking officers when they show any signs of insubordination. “Shake” is the proudest man in the .Senior class, for after three years in the rear ranks of C Co. he has at last achieved a long desired of¬ fice in the Cadet Corps.

He has fallen so deeply in love with the College that he has spent two Junior and two Senior years in it. “Peggy” is an authority on tan shoes and non¬ regulation clothes, and to reproduce his wardrobe in this respect would require assistance of both the Bran¬ don Lawrence and Waldrop Com¬ panies. The cab man in Bryan gets most of his allowance, for he is a social leader. He is a disciple of Spence and if his ambitions are realized he will sit down to a life of ease as an expert on highway construction and improvement. ■■MSI 127 ALEXANDER S.

He gained his nickname at an impromptu concert given by the “fish” of Foster Hall in which he carried the bass accompaniment to “Nobody Knows How Dry I Am.” “Honk” has the distinction of being the only man in our class who has passed his last three years in college single-handed, but with a bright mind and lots of common sense he is bound to succeed in the b usiness world. jasper McDonald Thom¬ son Florence Agronomy Age 25, weight 140, height 5-11 ; Fish Co.

Weary from constant toil on the old farm, “Mack” entered with the ex¬ pectation of making an electrician to rival Edison. However, only one year sufficed to show him that his natural calling was behind “Beck” on the old farmstead. He turned all his energies to “bug hunting” and has pursued that course dil¬ igently for the remainder of his time here. We all predict that he will make a leader in agricultural pursuits and the upbuilding of his community wherever he goes. 128 JOE 3. TIGNER House Textile Engineering Age 20, height 5-8, weight 152.

His power of imagination is re¬ markable, for he can often be found in his room worrying over some new design that he thinks would make a swell dress for his girl, foe says little, smiles little, but works a great deal, which will some day make him a noted man.

B at the time of “Dough” Gil¬ bert’s reign, which probably ac¬ counts for his being a docile human now. But for his being a married man he would probably have smash¬ ed all the hearts in College circles, for his sweet voice and loving ways are irresistible. His favorite song, “River Shannon,” always brings back memories that clamor for demonstration. He is one of the few men who can roll hoops sidesways, kill a prairie dog at 500 yards distance with a Colt’s and pep a rattlesnake’s head off while holding its tail between his teeth. To know Weimar is only to love him, and we can’t blame the black- eyed composer of those daily let¬ ters. 129 WILLIAM CLIFTON TOR¬ RENCE Waco Mechanical Engineering Age 21, weight 135, height 5-10.

His greatest delight is to say, “Waco and Guggenheimer for me.” “Chief” has a great number of peculiarities about him. The hard¬ est to understand is why he lets “Military” carry him sleigh-riding at night, using a bed for a sleigh. “Chief” came here to take M. E. and has been taking it since. He, Harrison Fischer and “Dutch” Nussbaum are the stars. A great stunt they pulled oft ' was to call a meeting in Ross 38 of all M. E. students. Before the meeting they had so carefully planned a scheme that as a result Harrison and “Chief” were elected President and Vice-President respectively. “O tempora.” DAVID HALSEY TUCKER, Missouri City Electrical Engineering Age 20, weight 130, height 5-10; Sophomore Fish; Veteran of Lost Cause; 2d Lieut.

It is our hope that next fall he will again repreesnt us on the All-Southwest¬ ern, for he has made quite a name for himself in both -major branches of our athletics. One of the great¬ est losses this year on our athletic field was the absence of his daily arguments with our ex-Captain, “Dutch” Hohn. After one of “Ves’s” trips to Dallas he confi¬ dently informed some of his friends that he believed he was “cut out to be a rounder.” Tie and Jeff Harris intend to supply the wants of both College and Bryan from their textile mill, which will be located at Onion Hill.

He is a studious, quiet and friendly young man. When it comes to playing pranks he is not in it, but spends that time in studying and always knows his les¬ sons. He should have graduated last year, but owing to sickness had to quit before the year was over. He was determined to graduate and came back this year. We trust that Louis will meet with much suc¬ cess in life, because a man who works as hard as he does certainly ought to be rewarded.

He won his title of “Riskey” by showing such great daring and fearlessness at the Mess Hall fire where he rescued two bottles of the juice of the grape (Welches?) from Sbisa’s pri¬ vate pantry. Jerome expects to get married just as soon as he can decide on the one of his numerous “loves.” Yes, his hair is naturally curly and he is the cutest thing when he says, “Tome dive papa baby kiss.” 132 HERBERT GEORGE HARRY WEINERT Geronimo Agronomy Age 21, weight 140, height 4-9. 1st Lieut, and Adjt. 2d Bat.; 1st Sergt.

Even if these opinions are somewhat pessimistic at times, Weinert means well and by his frank speech has some very good dis-believers and some close ad¬ herents. Taken all in all, Herbert George Henry is an excellent stu¬ dent and we feel confident of great success for him on some black land farm.

Blount is very studious, as is shown by the fact that he is deficient in only “Deak’s” Junior English, and we are sure there is a great future before him. 133 CHARLES AUSTIN WHIT¬ FIELD San Angelo Agriculture Age 21, height 5-8, weight 150.

Secretary-Treasurer ’12 ' ' (Jr ' Junior Class History of the Junior Class The Junior Class entered the College at the opening of the T0-T1 session. Hazing was just coming into disfavor, and the Faculty was beginning to weed it out in all its forms. Since that time, hazing has become a capital offense in the eyes of the Faculty, and all a man has to do is to haze, and his life in so far as the A. M. College is concerned, is finished. The Junior Class is by far the strongest class that has attended the Agricultural and Mechanical College for many years, but since stepping from the train on that first memorable day, they have been beset by one continuous string of hard luck. Every¬ thing has gone wrong with the Class and the School. Today, when we are rushing to get the book to press, the Junior Class History, over which one of our beloved classmates had spent so much time, shows up missing, and keeps the book from going to press on time. The Class has always been good at meeting obstacles with a cheerful face, and overcoming them, and consequently, in a few short words, we are attempting to give you some idea of what has happened during our stay at A. M. College. The Mess Hall and Main Building have been destroyed, ’Varsity beat us last year in football and cancelled her athletic relations with us; through the hardest kind of luck the Kansas Aggies defeated us on Kyle field, at the close of the most successful season we have ever had, thus preventing us from claiming Southern honors in foot¬ ball; the meningitis scare of last year; the wholesale cannings of the present session, together with the meningitis scare and strike shortly afterwards; death of several of our most beloved classmates; the loss of one or more of our friends on the Faculty; the move to consolidate A. M. College and the University of Texas; and now the proposed amendment before the people of Texas—these are but a few of the minor troubles which have beset the Juniors as a Class on their four-year trip through College. Owing to the recent strike, in which the Junior Class led, we lost a number of our very best classmates and athletes, thereby losing the championship of the State in baseball, to our rivals, the University of Texas. During the past session, we have had three elections of officers. Mr. W. G. Beasley has been elected President of the Class of T4, four times in succession, but was recently succeeded in that office by Mr. J. F. Runge. After the strike, which began the first day of examinations, we were given a re¬ examination, and many of the boys passed off the majority of their work, but there are still a large part of the Class who have a number of deficiencies... Practically, as a whole, they are anticipating attending Summer School, removing these deficiencies, and thus begin the session of T3-T4 with a clean sheet. Good luck to them, one and all, and may our Class set a mark in the lack of deficiencies, which all other Classes may strive to attain. “A calm follows a storm.” May this be true of our after-lives. We have been con¬ stantly beset by troubles, and now, when we shall obtain our diplomas, or even when we enter upon our Senior Year, may our path be strewn with roses, and our minds be at peace. 139 Junior Agriculture Ayers, Ed.

College of the Lone Star State, for it marked the arrival of about four hundred and fifty “fish,” who were destined to have the most eventful history of any Class that ever “bucked the Faculty” of this grand old institution. Up the walk to the Main Building we marched, taking in the sights of the campus, and through the “Bull’s” office we filed. We felt rather shaky in the knees. As Major Johnson would order some quaking specimen fresh from the country to remove his hat, or as the Com¬ mandant would gently warn him that the desk was weak and liable to fall if he leaned so hard on it, that poor young man immediately concluded that his career was forever ruined at this place because he had “pulled off so bone-headed a stunt” on his first appearance. We were now ushered to our rooms and our “fish” year was fairly well begun. It is a matter of utter impossibility for us ever to show our deep appreciation of the masterful way .in which the upper-classmen attempted to initiate us into the proper manner of performing the duties of the pisciform tribe. Though very unwilling pupils, we proved to be apt ones, and soon learned to even things up now and then with “Mr. Soph.” With loyal hearts we followed the best football team in the South and contributed some good material to it. When we went down in defeat in the game with ’Varsity, at Houston, we rallied round our unconquerable “Lindy,” and gave a demonstration of “pep” such as was never heard or seen before. Our Class has had its full measure of trials and disappointments, and has managed to combat them all successfully and come up smiling every time. Our conduct during and after the burning of the Mess Hall and the Main Building clearly demonstrated the fact that we could be relied on in time of emergency. On April 1, 1912, we went on the annual “hike” to the Brazos River. Long and weary was that seven miles to the manly little soldier boy under full equipment. As is usual with the Class of 1915, however, we bore up to the bitter end, taking the application of the strap, running the gauntlet, and allowing ourselves to be tossed in the blanket like good fellows. Things were occasionally enlivened also by a mid¬ night dress parade. On the baseball diamond the Freshmen were the backbone of the team, and several of the members of our class succeeded in winning a coveted “T.” On the track we also produced some all-star runners that won the triangular meet for us and ran ’Var¬ sity a good race for State honors. Commencement was soon upon us, and we prepared to shed our scales and take on the dignity of a lordly Sophomore. Some of our best members were missing when we once more met in the old chapel this session to reorganize and elect officers. “Frog” Morrison, of baseball and football fame, was chosen to fill the President’s chair. The proper training of the “fish” was taken well in hand early, and, needless to say, we did not fail to do our part toward giving them a good start on their four year’s College course. We once more aided in producing a winning football team, and the fact that A. M. boasts of the Southwestern championship this year is due, in a large measure, to the excellent work of our representatives. Things ran along smoothly till the meningitis scare in January. On January 15th, F. Y. Rawlins, one of our most beloved classmates, was stricken and died of this dread disease. The whole Class felt this loss very deeply, and it is undoubtedly the saddest event so far of our College course. A number of cadets went home during this time, but most of them returned after a few days. Then came the strike. A number of our best members were dismissed for hazing, and we, rallying to their support, presented a petition for their reinstatement, as did also the Juniors and Freshmen. “Nothing doin.’” A proclamation followed, and academic duties were suspended as far as we were concerned. On the memorable day of Februray 1, as our presence didn’t seem to be any longer desired here, we found that it would be a very wise idea to take a little journey. Before leaving, however, we participated in a final dress parade. For many of us it was a farewell to the old College forever. In a week or two, after things had settled down to some extent, the majority came straggling back, and, though some of our best members failed to return, we are pre¬ paring to take up the task of re-forming the shattered ranks of the Class of 1915 in accordance with rosiest dreams. 148 Askew, Henry Forest Andrews, Albert Avinger, John Hamilton Baccus, Embury Depee Baker, Claude Bates, Wade Hamilton Bell, Jeff E.....

BRYAN President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Sergeant-at-Arms History of Freshman Class On September 24th and 25th a close, or even a casual observer would have wit¬ nessed many amusing incidents on the campus. At the treasury he would have seen many boys with trembling lips and misbehaving knees make weak-voiced requests for a “Taps Receipt” and a bottle of “Reveille Oil.” In the Commandant’s Office he would have noted a truly amusing contrast of behavior; the sang froid, the “I-am-king” air of the old students did indeed make a laughable contrast with the meekness and embarrassment of the new men whose eyes, full of an admixture of awe and admira¬ tion, followed every movement of the old boys, and upon whose faces was plainly written the unvoiced question, “Will we ever be such wonderful creatures as these?” The observant one would have been amused, also, by the absorbed, business-like ex¬ pression on the faces of the new students as they hurried by a group of “old boys;” as they suddenly changed their mind and direction in order to avoid meeting such a group. But the absence of these incidents would have experienced not only a feeling of amusement, but one of keenest interest, had he but known that these boys were to comprise a “bunch of fish” who will be long remembered for their unprecedented “pep,” and their willingness to unload their extremest efforts to every occasion of Cadet Corps and the College. As soon as all the “fish” received their initial strapping, and learned that they had a right to live, a Freshman meeting was called. The purpose of this meeting was to elect officers. We chose for our President, O. A. McArthur, who was later known as the great “fish” half-back. The Class of 1916 was not as large as some of the preceding Freshmen Classes, but was not lacking in talent and “pep.” They were about evenly divided between the Agricultural and Engineering Courses; there being about two hundred in each depart¬ ment. We stand high in athletics, having three men out of our Class who made their “T’s.” One of that number was picked as an All-Southern man. Besides the men on this squad, we had many stars in company football. Judging from spring practice, we will be well represented in baseball and on the track. What would Coach Moran do without his Freshmen athletes? On January 31st, the Freshmen Class acted with the Junior and Sophomore Classes and struck. All of them left, with the exception of about thirty. After spending a few days at home ,they began to return to school. Nearly all of them have returned, but some, including our President, will never come back. Notwithstanding this fact, we are preparing to take upon our shoulders the task of rebuilding, with the highest possible success, the shattered ranks of the Class of 1916. 153 Freshman Engineers Aldridge, Edwin Ernest .

Long before daybreak that memorable Saturday morning we were up and preparing to leave. Sbisa’s “hombres” rose earlier than usual and had a steaming breakfast ready for us soon after the bugles had roused us from our long night’s sleep. After breakfast the battalions were formed in front of the old Main Building. Each man was equipped with a gun, haversack, canteen, belt and bayonet, and a roll of bedding. Nearly all wore gaudy bandana hankerchiefs and clothes of all descriptions. Truly, it was a motley army. “General” Huth gave the command, the battalions swung 187 into line, and we were off. H. and F Companies had gone on before to act as the “enemy.” A line of flankers was posted to each side of the moving column to prevent sur¬ prise by the “enemy.” We were frequently halted to rest. The boys made use of these short rests to tighten their belts, straighten their guns, and otherwise adjust their harness. When the regiment reached the hilly country, it was a pretty sight to see the hundreds of rolls of white bedding stretched out before one, down one hill and up the next, as far as the eye could see. We had proceeded about half the distance to the camp and were marching un¬ suspectingly along, when out sprang the “enemy.” They took us completely by sur¬ prise, and severed our column. The “enemy” had hidden themselves by the way and sent part of their forces forward as a ruse to deceive our scouts. We arrived at camp about 11 o’clock, and right glad we were to reach it. The commissary department, ably commanded by the Veteran Sbisa, had preceded us, and as we passed by en route to where we were to pitch our tents, the appetizing odor of barbecued meat and boiling coffee smote our nostrils. The Companies were halted and the work of pitching tents was begun. A scramble TW(iir«ffliMggiiiiiiniriiiiiiriiBi... i —miiwiijiiiiiiiiiuiiiji. ii awS 188 for choice places at once ensued, and the corporals in their new-found authority bel¬ lowed orders to their men. The “fish” quickly obeyed, and soon there stood a tented city where half an hour before had been but the virgin bank of the river. This work had scarcely been completed before there came the welcome dinner call. The Companies, in their order, filed by in double rank, one line turning to the right, and the other to the left. Each passed by a line of tables behind which smiling Mexicans stood, ready to fill our skillets with food. Leaving the line, we steered our skillets along until we came to a suitable place to sit, or, failing in this, we sat flat on the ground and appeased our ravenous appetites. Never did the cooking of the most famous chefs taste better than this! Sentinels were posted in the afternoon and were on duty two hours out of every six during the next twenty-four. In the early afternoon a sad accident occurred. A wmmmmmmm 189 small number of the boys went swimming in the chilly waters of the Brazos, and one of the number, Norman Hunter, was seized with the cramps and swept out of sight by the swift stream. A faithful search was made for his body, but it was not found until many days later. Out of respect to him the sham battle which was to have taken place next day, and certain other festivities which were to take place that night, were omitted. When night came on, bonfires were built, and the “old boys,” when not pursuing the “fish,” sat around the flickering fires and swapped yarns. There was something weird about this scene. The dancing shadows thrown on the white tents by the un¬ steady light; the long, gaunt limbs of the trees reaching out; and the chilly black waters of the river in whose embrace our companion lay, gliding silently by just beneath the bluffs at our feet, were enough to make one feel that a spell had been cast over the camp. “Taps” sounded, and the Freshmen breathed a sigh of relief, “For, surely,” they thought, “we will get some rest now.” And so they did, until midnight. At that still 190 hour pandemonium broke loose. Tubs and buckets were dragged clattering down the tented streets, and the “old boys” issued from their tents and dragged out the sleepy, bare-footed “fish” (whose shoes now hung dangling in the trees) to have a midnight formation. With mock solemnity they called the roll, and each Freshman was given his allotted number of licks. After this the “fish” were forced to give a hearty yell for the “old boys,” and the carnival broke up. The clear notes of reveille next morning were drowned by the boom of the cannon as they saluted the breaking day. On this day there were no military formations ex¬ cept guard mounting and a little outpost duty. The chief feature of the program on this day was the Kangaroo Court presided over by that most renowned Texas “bad man,” Charlie (Coach) Moran. The Lieutenants, “Lindy” Millender and “Steamroller” Bowler went through the camp and nabbed every fellow that was thought to have a 191 stray bit of coin about him. After being tried and convicted by a jury of Seniors, he was given the choice of a strapping or of “setting up” the crowd. If he had any money at all, he usually chose to “set up” the bunch. On Monday morning we began the march back to College. Soon after we started, a drizzling rain set in and wet us to the skin. The roads quickly became sloppy and hard to travel. By the time several Companies had passed over the ground, the hills were so slippery that one was as likely to slide down as to walk. In the early afternoon the Corps reached the College, and every man was glad the “hike” was over. It is a novel experience the first year, but one time is enough to satisfy any of us. Captain Fenton deserves great credit for the masterly way in which the “hike” was carried out, for there was no confusion at any point. Thus ended the “hike” of 1912. 192 . v : - YELLS LEADERS 1912-13 H. B. DOWELL.................................................. R. B. EHLINGER J. P. B.

In former years a college athlete was regarded as a youth who was paid to attend college for the sole purpose of participating in athletics. Now that good class-work is the first requisite of a player the views of the people have greatly changed. Today they regard the stars of the diamond, track and gridiron as excellent students, well equipped both mentally and physically to fight the battles of life. This change is particularly noticeable at A. M. As long as the public regarded college athletes as unfit for anything besides athletics, the teams of the College were at their best only second rate. Now that they realize that in addition to being a good athlete a man must also be a good student, Texans are willing to send their sons to A. M. and to allow them, even to encourage them, to participate in athletic events. The natural consequence of this changed attitude of the public is that the Farmer teams are today as good as, if not better, than any other team in the Southwest. On the football field especially have the athletes of the A. . M. College shown their wonderful ability. Te am and head work instilled into the players by Charles Moran, the greatest of all football coaches, served the Farmers well during the last season. Not Joe and Cap” Two Small Ones On to Houston Poor Sooners only did they defeat all State teams, but they also overcame enough teams outside the State to be acknowledged Champions of the Southwest. 1% In addition to the remarkable showing made by the football team, excellent work has been done in baseball and track. A. M. hopes that next year she will hold first place in all three major branches of athletics. A large number of new men will enter in the fall and from their numbers good athletes will certainly be found. A. M. entered a new field of Athletics this year. Their first basketball team was organized and in spite of many difficulties made an excellent showing. As it was our first attempt along this line, no college games were played. The team defeated several of the high and preparatory schools of the State and next year will be ready to go up against the colleges and universities. Much good material was developed and an excellent team is expected to be put out next season. One feature of the track work of the College is the annual High School Track Meet. Last year twenty-seven high schools and three preparatory schools were represented. The purpose of the meet is to get the young aspirants for athletic honors acquainted with A. M. and, if possible, get them to complete their education at that institution. Many good men have been secured by this means. The athletic standing of A. M. is very good. No State team can have a claim on the championship without first having defeated A. M. This high standard of athletics at the college does much good. It gives to the students teams of which they may be proud. It furnishes them with the excitement and diver¬ sion which is so necessary to student life. And last, but not least, it makes them glad that they are students of an institution which can produce such excellent athletes. Since without athletics college life would scarcely be worth living, everybody is always willing to do everything in their power to further the good cause. The “T” Association The “T” Assocation of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas is com¬ posed of students who have represented this institution in any athletic contest. All who have been awarded the College emblem are eligible to membership in this Associa¬ tion. The aim of this Association is to bind together those who have won honor for them¬ selves and A. M. upon the athletic field. The Association endeavors to bring these men together again from time to time to promote good-fellowship and to keep them working for the betterment of our athletics. An annual meeting is held at College and is followed by a banquet, in connection with which there are remenbrances of by-gone days brought back to mind and dis¬ cussed with schoolday enthusiasm. The Association has the following officers: ERWIN ASTIN...... President JIM DAVIS Vice-President W. W. WHIPKEY . . Secretary Joe Utay (Captain) Members . Halfback Frank Gray (Captain) Fullback V. M.

As you have such a change of faces every year in the teams, it is seldom that a coach has a team of two or three years’ experience to deal with. This camp usually treats of the fundamental rules and the developing of new material. We were given the privilege of using Mr. Giesecke’s A. M. Summer School build¬ ings and equipment, which were built along the banks and in a large bend of Comal River. This was an ideal place to give the boys all the swimming, boating, fishing, practice and pleasure that one could wish. It also serves to get the boys closer to¬ gether and with the pleasure and work combined, this camp is an ideal place for the young fellow that takes part in athletics and is contemplating entering College. Coach Moran, Coach Utay and Captain Bell arrived early and took charge of the camp. Almost thirty boys were at the camp and, although prospects were not good at the start of the camp, the team looked fairly good to begin the season. There were a 201 Football Squad £ good many fellows who could not attend camp and joined the squad at the opening of school. On returning from the training camp, cur squad did not resemble a championship team, but after about two weeks hard work here, under our able COACH MORAN and with the addition of more candidates, prospects seemed brighter. At this stage of the game according to the different home papers every team in the State had the championship cup placed in a glass case and on exhibition in their College Captain Bell Trophy Room; but the weeding cut process soon began and also the excuses for fail¬ ures were many. Our first victim was Daniel Baker on whom we piled up fifty-one points using the whole squad in the game. From this game the rooters derived two expressions, which were used for the rest of the season, the “Bowler Lope ,r and the “Lambert Glide.” 204 r Kern Beasley ■■■MsaaBaaBmamH 205 y s Bateman 206 Higginbotham 203 The following week we had Trinity University as our guests for a short visit and they met defeat by the tune of sixty to nothing. The team had begun to absorb some of the game from our efficient Coach Moran’s tireless efforts and the possibilities of a championship were looming up. Many stars began to appear on the horizon by this time, as Captain Bell, Bowler, Montgomery, Kern and many others; in fact we had two teams and the competition, especially among the candidates for the back field, quarterback and end position, was very keen. We went to Dallas on the last day of the State Fair and before one of the largest crowds ever assembled in Texas defeated the Razorbacks twenty-seven to nothing in V 210 a spectacular game in which the features were the runs of Montgomery, Bell, Bateman, Bowler, Kern and Everett, also the general good playing of the entire team. The critics began to take note of the team and placed the credit to the Coach and Captain Bell, where it rightfully belonged. Austin College jaunted down for a taste of the sauce delivered by the A. M. huskies and was not only rewarded with a taste but was served with an exc ellent coat of white-wash by the score of fifty-eight to nothing. The next game on schedule was the one on which the Southwestern Championship hinged, it to be played with Bennie Owen’s Warriors from Oklahoma University who had in the month of October humbled the Texas University team at Dallas. Our team now seemed to be a smoothly running machine. We had two excellent kickers in Vesmirovsky and Higginbotham, the best quarterbacks in the State in Kern and Spake and our backfield was well taken care of by Captain Bell, Bateman, Beasley and McArthur. The ends, Montgomery, Everett, Washington and Morrison had no su¬ periors on the teams met. In the line, we had Cushman, Bowler, Lambert, Crow, Miller, Lyles, and the best bunch of second string men that has ever been seen in Texas. We journeyed to Houston during the No-Tsu-Oh Carnival and after a bad start, featured by Oklahoma scoring two field goals, our men began to demonstrate some of the knowledge that had been daily pumped into them, and we came out on top with the big end of the score at 28 to 6. This game practically gave us the Southwestern Championship as we had only one more to play which could affect it. This was with Baylor University, but they were not considered very strong contestants for honors this season. We now had ahead of us the hardest schedule which any team in the South has ever faced, as three games were to be played in seven days and against excellent teams. 211 Mississippi A. M. came first and was the first team to cross our goal line, but they were hopelessly outclassed and returned with a 41 to 7 defeat hanging on them and many stories issuing from them as to our size and ability. Our team seemed to be a collection of stars and every man proved himself a feature and a stellar performer, although a few shone above the others. Bell and Bowler for all-round work, Bate¬ man for end runs, Beasley’s forward passing, Montgomery’s catches and long runs, and Vesmirovsky’s kicking. Tulane came next with an excellent team, but they were defeated 41 to 0. We now faced our hardest of all games—the one with Kansas Agricultural College, where fumbles and a mistake in judgment cost us a spotless record and an intercepted forward pass caused much gloom, for it gave us the small end of a 13 to 10 score. The headlines of the leading papers the next morning stated: “Farmers Show More Football;” “Texans Outplayed Kansas and Would Win on a Dry Field,” “Aggies Present but Little in Comparison,”—but even with this to console us, we lost to an excellent team and on paper this had no effect on the Championship—we were defeated. We played Baylor University on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas and here we secured our revenge by defeating Green and Gold 51 to 0. In this game additional stars were developed as Higginbotham, Bateman, Washington, Crow, Spake and Morrison. This ended one of the most successful seasons in the history of A. M. Football. We had an excellent coach in C. B. Moran—a capable assistant in Joe Utay, a good 212 manager in F. A. Roberts, a peerless leader in T. L. Bell and one of the greatest bunch of athletes that has ever been assembled in the South. Lambert was the Captain elect for the next season and by our excellent record this year and our advent into the Southern Intercollegiate Association, we have ap¬ peared as a new contender for laurels in the South.

Mr. Lionel Moise, of Sewanee, who was an official in almost every large game of the season, possibly by this right alone, should be recognized as an authority on this se¬ lection. In selecting a man for a position, one does not consider how well a man played in any one particular game, but how consistently he worked through the season, nature of his work and his general value to the team in the most important games. 213 Moise’s Selection First Murray—T exas Crow—A.

In answer to telegrams for a football game with Vanderbilt for next season the “Commodores” replied: “We have enough hard games.” Many thanks for the compliment “Vandy.” Intercollegiate football is gaining ground in every respect as is shown by the need of a graduate business manager—because the attendance is greater—the competition for playing dates has become a problem and these with the expenses paid out, demand an outside manager as well as a student-manager. We were fortunate in having a very keen combination manager and assistant coach in Manager Joe Utay. The Kansas Aggies had some of “Princeton’s 1911” luck in their game here. Texas looked very weak against Oklahoma and if she had been playing A. M.— well soft music. We discovered another Doggie Ward in Montgomery, who proved himself to be the best end in the South. Coach Moran brought two more good men—Higginbotham and Crow—to the squad from Company football this year and they won their letters in a walk. Vesmirovsky outkicked all the opposing toe-artists this year. 214 Bateman looked very good and his long end runs were the feature of many games. Captain Bell proved himself a field general, a consistent ground gainer in both line- bucks and end runs, and thereby proved himself an excellent and able Captain. We had two excellent quarterbacks in Kern and Spake. “Steam Roller” Bowler was given the unanimous choice of being the best tackle in this part of the country. Cushman was the boy for the place at center this year. High Miller II kept up his Bud’s reputation for height, quickness and ability as an athlete. “Pull them out of the atmosphere or the other fellow’s reach, stand on your ear and catch them, fall down and then run for a touch down,” was Monty Montgomery’s policy in his forward passes. Beasley’s p asses to Montgomery set the rooters wild and increased the score con¬ siderably. In Montgomery, Everett, Morrison and Washington, we had two sets of good ends. Owing to the many misfortunes, the school has had this year, it looks as if the Fresh¬ men will be favorites for places on the eleven next year. We lose three good men who graduate this year, as follows: Captain Bell, Bowler and Lyles. But all of these men have not played their four years’ time out and here is hoping they will return next year. The touch down from kick-off made by Higginbotham with McArthur interfering was a very bitter dose for the Gold and Green Baylor aggregation. Hoover won the 440 at State but was very ill when he ran the 100 and 220 dashes with “Polly” Eagleston, especially after the rates were over and Polly waited for Hoover to cross the mark. Harper Dean, Football Mascot 215 lL NVAVd BASE BALL MANAGERS 1912 Prospects for a winning team certainly looked good at the start of the season, al¬ though we had many new men to pick a team from. But we suffered two very costly set-backs. First, bad weather interfered with our early training and then during the good weather came the annual military inspection, so we were slow to get going. 218 .—— 1912 Baseball Team Second, we lost several good men on account of them not passing their courses, which resulted, not only in their own loss, but caused a shift in the infield. By this time the intercollegiate season had opened but we were not in good shape to meet our first college opponents, Austin College, and they won over us on a very sloppy field. The second game was rained out. This defeat did us a great deal of good, as we got down to work and in another week we began to resemble a baseball club. Our infield was greatly strengthened by the addition of Jack Watkins, who had been playing company baseball for three years, and should have been out on the baseball squad before. We then had three victories over Mississippi A. M., followed by two more over T. C. U., on our home grounds. Chances now looked good for a victory over the Baylor nine, who were the College Champions for the last two years. They, however, defeated us the first day, in a very hard fought game; and the second day one of the prettiest games of the season was played, ending in the calling of the game on account of darkness with the score a tie—one to one. We then left on our first trip, won two victories over the T. C. U. club on their home grounds in Ft. Worth and from there went to Waxahachie. Here we won easy games with Trinity University. The first game was featured by the sensational pitching of Captain Hohn, of Yorktown. We then played return games with Trinity University and were again victorious. At this stage of the Championship we learned that we were a runner up for first place and the leadership depended on the next two games to be played with Baylor in Waco. We left for Waco accompanied by several Bryan fans, but were defeated in two very close and hotly contested games, which were featured by the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Baylor fans and “fannesses.” We finished our season in Brenham where we won one game and lost the other to 219 Stiteler Higginbotham Collins Vesmirovsky Southwestern. This trip was featured by the general good treatment accorded to both teams by the Brenham people. Thus ended our season of 1912 and were given second place in the Championships which was a very good record for a team composed of only three veterans.

M. opened the 1912 Track Secson with a Triangular Meet with Baylor Univer¬ sity and Austin College. This meet was a walk-away for A. M., as we made more than twice the sum of the two scores made by our opponents. The results of the meet were as follows: A. M. 88 points; Austin College 21 points and Baylor University 16 points. The only special feature of the meet was that “Wrinkle” Lambert came within two feet of the Southern record by throwing the hammer 133 feet. On May 10th, the Annual Texas Intercollegiate Track Meet was held at Austin on University Campus. The meet was made a great success through the splendid efforts put forth by the Texas Athletic Asociation. The track was in the best of condition, very fast, and consequently resulted in several previous records being broken. The Colleges that were represented at this meet as follows: Texas University, A. M., Daniel Baker, Austin College, and Baylor University. The men of all the represented teams were in the best of condition and the meet was fast and snappy. A large crowd wit¬ nessed the meet and especially looked forward to the great sprinting contest between Eagleston, of A. M., and Hoover, of Texas. The two races in the 100 yards and 220 yards were close, but Hoover proved no match for the fleet-footed Eagleston of A. M., who easily won both races. Polly is now undoubtedly the fastest man in the State. He also holds another record of having never been defeated in either a scholastic or a 223 Collegiate Meet. A. M. is certainly proud to have this man as their Captain for the 1913 Track Team. James and Lambert also did great work for A. M.; Lambert raising the record mark for the hammer throw and James winning in the pole vault in his same old way. Meredith is easily the best pole vaulter in the State. Rothe, a Freshman, who comes from Marshall Training School wins second place in the pole vault. Driess J. W. Turner, a Freshman from St. Louis, won second place in the Mile and Half- Mile Races. Turner promises to make a most valuable distance man for us and we are glad to see that he will be in the 1913 Team. G. D. Everett, another “fish,” won second place in the 220-yard hurdles for us. Everett is one of the prizes we captured through the High School Meet that is held here every year. He has already proved iiiiKII . ■ad 224 himself a football end of no mean ability. Last, but by no means least, comes our Eddie Driess, who won second place for us in the 120-yard hurdles. Eddie is a fair distance man and graduates this year. We regret very much to lose him as he has proved himself, during his stay here, an all round athlete. The results of this meet were as follows: Texas University, 59 points; A. M., 35 points; Daniel Baker, 17 points; Baylor University, 6 points, and Austin College, 5 points. Although our men showed great form, the peculiar feature of the meet was that we easily defeated the Varsity Stars but could do nothing with her freaks and second raters. However, we attribute our defeat mostly to the fact that we lacked entries in the jumps and the quarter-mile race.

Much credit is due Coach Steger and Captain Eddie Dreiss for their interest in and efforts towards building up a team. Against many handicaps they finally put out a bunch of fast athletes, who, although their games were confined to second-raters, de¬ served to be matched with the Intercclleg ' ate champion. After the strike, the pros¬ pects for a good team were indeed gloomy, fcr we had lest a number of fast men, sev¬ eral of whom were football stars, but wi:h the remrn of Montgomery and Braumiller the outlook brightened and work was resumed. Mention must be made of the admirable werk of Caldwell and Dreiss at forward, O’Conner and Montgomery at Center, and Braumiller and Peter as guards.

M. is a member of the State Intercollegiate Tennis Association there has been very little interest taken in the game here. Last year out of the limited number trying out, Manager Bertran Giesecke chose Anderson and Dreiss to represent the college at the State meet in Waco. The tourna¬ ment was made very interesting by the five strong teams presented and the A. M. teams did well in winning third place, considering the little practice they had before entering. The night after the tournament at a meeting of the players at the State House, Stacy of the University was elected President of the Association. Anderson of A. M. was made Vice-President, and Georgetown was determined upon as the place for hold¬ ing the next tournament. 232 Company Athletics Company athletics, while altogether local in its nature, is one of the most important factors we have to arouse company spirit, and to bring out the latent abilities of un¬ known men The mere mention of such men as Crow and Higginbotham, stars of the past football season, is ample proof of the latter statement. This department has within the last year been put upon a solid foundation by the formation of a Company Athletic Council. This was organized October 7th, 1912, and has already proved its worth to all the teams. It is composed of the three majors, one captain from each Battalion, a secretary, and the College Athletic Director, eight persons in all. This Council has prescribed rigid rules of eligibility fo r all players, that they must pass fourteen hours per week of their work; must have their parents per¬ mission to participate in athletics, etc. The past baseball and football seasons bore ample proof of the efficiency of this organization. All disputes are referred to and decided by them. The baseball season of last year was a great success. At the beginning of the games the prospects were favorable to be one of the closest series ever played in company circles. The “I” Company team, which had won the cup the previous year, had lost a good many of its best men but seemed to have a strong team. In the Second Bat¬ talion all the teams were evenly matched and there was much guess work as to the final outcome; the first Battalion looked as though its winners would be either “A” or “D.” The standing of the teams in each Battalion were “D” champions of the First,. “F” of the Second and “I” of the Third. In the final series “I” company proved an easy victim for the other two teams, and when the deciding clash came, “D” Company bore off the Spaulding Cup. The football season was another in which the teams seemed evenly matched. How¬ ever, as time wore on it soon became evident that the winners would be either, “E-F ’ or “C-D.” The first team was the heavier and seemed to have an impregnable line. However, in their game with “C-D” the latter proved their superiority by their swiftness and thorough team work. Both football and baseball in the companies brought out much excellent material and next year there will undoubtedly be several new names among our stars. The “C-D” football team won the company league championship this year by de¬ feating their nearest competitors, “E-F.” When the season opened there were no favorites but it was not long until every one realized that “C-D” was fast developing into a formidible opponent for any team. They were light, but swift and all team work; and under the able leadership of their captain, Scott, they became one of the best foot¬ ball machines ever seen at A. M. The company baseball season of last year was closed by three hard-fought games between “D” and “F” companies. “D” company was the winner by good scores. They played one of the best seasons ever seen in company circles. The pitching of Wood and their splendid teamwork were the main features. Owing to the better teams and higher standing of our College Athletics since the ar¬ rival of Coach Moran, we have looked for stronger teams to contend with, and, to do this, have had to compete with teams out of the State, and from our good showing with all these teams in the past years, immediately saw that we could cope with the best Col¬ leges in the South, and in all branches of College Athletics. In order to get more of these games and to be recognized as a claimant for the championship when we defeated these teams, steps were taken to get into their Intercollegiate Association. At the regular meeting held last year, through the influence of J .W. (Capt.) Kidd, we were granted membership in the Association. The University of Texas, also a can¬ didate for admission, tried very hard to keep us from being admitted, but the Association, easily realizing the good merits of our College, and the higher standard, admitted A. M. to this Association, but barred ’Varsity. This membership insures games with schools playing under as strict rules as our own, and brings to us recognition in the athletic world of the South. « ♦ “A-B” Football Team Bland . . .

In the second year, by the per¬ mission of the Faculty, the Glee Club carried out its first trip to North Texas. During the month of February the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, with the College Orchestra, made another successful trip, touring the northern part of Texas in a private car. After showing in College and in Bryan, they gave a concert at Baylor University in Waco, played in Corsicana, at Polytechnic College in Fort Worth, at the College of Industrial Arts in Denton, in Denison, and at the Kidd-Key College in Sherman.

During his absence, Spareribs and Gravy, two American hoboes, plan to usurp the Egyptian throne. They undermine the allegiance of the natives and secure the co-operation of the American tourists... Their plans are successful, and Spareribs is made the Mummy King, and Gravy the Captain of the Guard. Act II Act Two is opened by a Muezzin (Mohammedan prayer caller) who invites the people to worship. After the worshippers are gone, the Captain of the Guard, alias Gravy, who is guarding the Nile, sees a beautiful princess, with whom he immediately falls in love. He is unfortunate, however, for she later favors a rich American tourist. After Redlich and Hall the mysteries of the Sphinx are fully explained, the act closes with a triumphant song for Spareribs, the Mummy King. As all the members of the Clubs played their part so well, it is hard to pick out the best ones. Eason and Killough were excellent as “Sparerids and Gravy.” Prof. Redlich was a successful “Amerikanison,” at all times, and together with “Chauf¬ feur Bill” Hall, they scored a big hit in their dialogue and songs. Brundette and Killough were always applauded in the song “My Fairy Princess.” Runge and Hawkins never failed to bring applause as “the lovers.” McCarty, as a sixteen- year-old girl, caused several men in the audience to fall in love with him. Lenert and the chorus received many ovations from the girls. The Egyptian warriors, who 288 were the fiercest looking ones in the show, played their parts well. King Alexander, alias Young, was wise, dignified and aggressive, as the king should be. The Quartet and the Mandolin Club received so many encores that they were worked harder than the rest of the players. By the untiring efforts and the successful direction of Mr. Steger, the artistic stage Count scenery, painted by Professor Redlich, and the hard work and talent of the Club members, A. M. has won the reputation of having one of the best Glee and Mandolin Clubs in the State. Glee Club Train -.w • Chicago Stock Judging Team PROF.

(By Dissociated Press.) College Station, Texas, Dec. 15, 1912. GENERAL SITUATION. When in September, 1912, Cow Hays took command of the Army of Charmers, the situation was as follows: The coun¬ try, while fairly level, is slightly hilly and very fatiguing for nightmarching, es¬ pecially on the return trip from Bryan when hindered by a large convoy. The only two large centers in the territo- Hays ry are College Station, important for the military stores there, and the village of Bryan, five miles’ dis¬ tant. There are two important roads leading from College Station to Bryan— the Get Off and Push Intermittent, the other, the Keep Off and Carry Continu¬ ous. Just as the two roads leave College and before they separate is the Shirley Marsh, important because of the part it played in this campaign, and which, dur¬ ing the wet season, attains a depth of from one to two feet of mud. LOCATION OF OPPOSING TROOPS. The headquarters of Major Hays, and where he kept his forces concentrated, were in Milner Hall, while a division un¬ der General Hilland was stationed at Bryan. Those of Sergeant Kinney were in Gathright Hall. The troops under each commander varied in number and those under Sergeant Kinney were under the immediate command of the veterans. PLANS OF OPPOSING GENERALS. It was the plan of “Cow” to take Ser¬ geant Kinney unawares and make a dash toward Bryan which the enemy had on numerous other occasions left exposed, and there unite with Gen. Hilland. As to why Major Cow should adopt this plan there has been much argument. Some contend that certain stores incorporated with General Hilland, absolutely neces¬ sary for the future continuance of opera¬ tions, made it necessary for the major to march on Bryan. It is said that the plan was to move in force in that direction and there unite with General Hilland. Sergeant Kenny had no plan at the open¬ ing of the campaign and was not aware that “Cow” had before replenished his stores in the manner stated. DISCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS. On the night of the 15th of December, Major “Cow” determined to put his plan in execution. He, therefore, put his forces in the best cits by way of dis¬ guise, these cits including a beautifully white shirt, starched to stiffness, highly polished tan shoes and the famous sporty little hat, the rage of the Bryan girls. Leaving a detachment under Generals Burleson, Fries, Lott and Cain in Milner to hold that important position, Major Hays started on his march toward the Intermittent Station. As the forces of Sergeant Kenney had not been in active operation for some time, no advance 303 THE BATTALION guard was sent out, and no plan was made for forming. The march to the Intermittent Station was successful and after a halt at Fort Leigh, the work of entraining was begun and completed in a short time. Meantime Sergeant Kinney not knowing that his enemy had started to Bryan, also decided to advance on that place. He, therefore, put his forces in motion, moved to Fort Leigh and began standing their ground. At the exact in¬ stant that Major Cow’s rear guard left the train, Sergeant Kinney’s advance guard got close enough to perceive it, and were overwhelmed with laughter at the precipitate retreat of the enemy. This was increased to heretofore unheard of proportions when the Sergeant, looking out of the car windows, perceived the pitiable plight of his opponent’s forces. Object of Hays’ Intended Visit entraining. The forces of General Hays, although brave in every sense of the Word, and veterans of many battlefields, were panic-stricken and retreated in the greatest haste and utter confusion to¬ ward the front end of the train, where they poured off the train in the greatest confusion, having no thought whatever of They, having jumped off the train into the miry depths of Shirley Marsh, were floundering helplessly around in its mud¬ dy depths. Words fail to describe the confusion, turmoil and uproar of the scene. From out the miry depths of the slimy pit demoniacal outbursts of asterisks, 304 THE BATTALION stars, dashes, question marks and other printer’s ornaments issued as the mighty veterans fought the battle of their lives with the treacherous mire. After heroic efforts the army of the major succeeded in extricating its forces from Shirley Marsh. From there they retreated pre¬ cipitately, not pausing until within the fortifications of Milner Hall. On reach¬ ing headquarters, the Major was met by his doughty generals, Burleson, Fries, Lott and Cain. “Why didn’t you get the necessary stores.” they cried in unison. “Oh, I de¬ cided we would not need them for some time yet,” replied the major earnestly. RESULTS OF BATTLE. The fi rst Charmer army commanded by Long Horn Reporter on the Hays-Kenny Affair Faculty—A collection of more or less ancient persons, usually found loitering near a school; their purpose seems to be to prevent the graduation of students whenever possible. A Faculty renders a school about same service the vermiform appendix renders the body, viz., none. Faculties may easily be divided into two groups (a) those who pass one and (b) those who do not. Those of the first group are gentlemen of the highest in¬ telligence and utmost good sense, and are absolutely unprejudiced; those of the latter group are ignorant, prejudiced and utterly unable to judge scholarship. “Cow” Hays, the ablest general ever known, was decisively defeated and put to ignominious flight with irreparable loss to evening clothes, without the loss of a single man to attacking forces. COMMENTS. When in 1909 Cow Hays entered Col¬ lege, the outlook was most unfavorable for him. Entering at a time when he was ill fed, ill dressed and deficient in head-power and when there was no means of transportation to the leading centers he nevertheless overcame all difficulties; and in his senior year was better fed, getting staff grub, dressed civilized, and, by continued application in the military department, had become the greatest sol¬ dier of the Second Battalion. But more marvelous purposes crowded his brain. He would board the Intermittent. He would cross Shirley Marsh. He would carry the Charmers eagles into Bryan. Proud Hilland should tremble for securi¬ ty even in his own stronghold. But how sad the outcome. How terri¬ ble that the major should at the moment when he had mounted to the heights, where he was on the point of snatching success from vessel of fortune, that he should meet defeat in a so ignominious manner. In these comments we will now, by re¬ ferring to the immutable principles of war, determine the reason for the doughty general’s defeat. First. Cow, not having yet reached Bryan, could not be stronger than the enemy on the battlefield. Second. The major failed to operate in force along his line of operations. He would no doubt have had greater success if the forces of Generals Burleson, Fries, Cain and Lott had been with him. Third. He could have concentrated an overwhelming force on the enemy. Fourth. He should have divided the forces of the enemy and beaten them in detail. (It is true he had the plans per¬ fected for this but was prevented from ex¬ ecuting them by the interference of Ser¬ geant Kenney.) It is to be hoped, in this age of wireless telegraphy , horseless carriages and fire¬ less cookers, that some benefactor of mankind will invent a Facultyless school. If this is done, several people will possi¬ bly graduate who might otherwise spend their lives at school. It must not be supposed, however, that Faculty members never reform, for in some instances they do give up their po¬ sitions, resolve to break themselves of bad habits and earn an honest living. The percentage of such reforms, however, is not very great. 305 THE BATTALION THE BATTALION Time-Honored Wattmeter of the A. M. Alternating Eddy Currents.

THE POWER OF THE BAT. With the white dove flittering about with an olive tree firmly ensconced in its claws, and peace hovering over the whole land save for that little revolution or two in Mexico, a discussion now and then in the Latin Republics, the present har¬ monious quadruple entente in the Balkans and the threats of a German invasion, it cannot be denied that the pen is mightier than the sword. Not only is this true throughout our whole smiling land, but it is brought very forcibly to mind in our own little community. The influence of the Bat, insofar as it molds the national senti¬ ment, is tremendous. Printed as it is every week, and scattered to the four winds of Heaven its clarion voice is titantic in its volume, and its revenge on those who at¬ tempt to tread on its bunions, is awfully grandiloquent. Witness the swift retri¬ bution meted out to a Varsity Alumnus, who forty years ago poked fun at the dimunitive sheet while it was struggling for a mere existence. The other day he died of extreme old age. Several weeks ago we came out with the statement that Gathright must go; it had served its purpose and had out¬ grown its usefulness. Scarcely was the edition a day old when an enterprising cadet attempted to blow the rookery into kingdom come with a sixty-gauge shot gun. Although the old brick pile is still standing, it is bound to go within the next 100 years. Not many days ago we took the stand that military had been pushed too far to the front to the detriment of trips to Bryan, sleeping moments, and athletics. The Bull immediately respond¬ ed with an ultimatum that the cadet corps report for drill the following Saturday. That same day a violent hail and thunder storm came up, completely deluging the campus and almost drowning the in¬ domitable commandant. Not a hundred moons ago, we complained of the en¬ tirely too frequent Sunday morning chapel exercises. Anyone knows that an hour of prayer-meeting before dinner is not conducive toward the stimulation of a good appetite. A long-winded sky-pilot from up the road was scheduled to de¬ liver an address the following Sunday. As another evidence of the dire results that follow any attempt to cross the Bat’s path, the train carrying said preacher met a fearful and horrible wreck, and he did not reach College that Sunday, nor the Sunday after, nor the next. In its circulation and advertising, it rivals the Police Gazette. People scram¬ ble for a copy of the bright, illuminating sheet, while merchants and capitalists fight for space in its advertising columns. Its voluminous and thundering voice is seen throughout the length and breadth of the land, while its fresh-appearing and clear-cut pages are heard even as far as Dark Africa.

It gave me great pleasure while on my African trip, to stop at College Station, Texas, the county seat of the A. M. College of Texas, as the guest of the Newly Weds; not that I was particularly fond of the Newly Weds, but rather of the multitude of babies that I found there. From the testimonials of the fond parents, I learned that of the 4,000,000 babies at College Station on Honeymoon Flat, there was not one single ugly one. However, the purpose of this letter is not to describe the looks of the afore¬ mentioned babies, but with the care taken of them. It is practically impossible at Honeymoon Flats to secure enough baby buggies to go round. In a number of in¬ stances, I noticed at least eight or ten babies in one buggy. Of course such con¬ ditions are very undesirable, and work a great hardship on all concerned, especial¬ ly the babies on the bottom. These babies are not fed on milk, but on a patented compound named Mem ' n- dex, patented by J. C. Patterson of the Dairy Department. It is tasteless, color¬ less and odorless, and the babies are 306 THE BATTALION very fond of it. Until the baby is five years of age, one dose of this compound every twenty minutes day and night is all the nourishment they need. One dose is a half gallon regardless of age. Every child promises to be a Bill Taft in size, and with such marvelously scientific par¬ ents they will no doubt be the intellectual sensations of the age. When the mothers wish to attend a card party or some other social gather¬ ing, they cart the babies to the Athletic Park and close the gates, where from a distance they look like an immense herd of sheep. It is wonderful to see those wee tots toddle or crawl around the track and play football and in fact, try all sports known to the students of the col¬ lege. These seemingly healthy children are very restless at nights. The howling of these thousands of huskies is the delight of the campus, and the students and other campus residents lie awake at niehts listening to the beautiful lullabys of the mothers harmoniously blended with the yelping of the children. If I am ever again President of the United States, I am going to give to each child born in Honey Moon Flats, a new ten cent piece if it bankrupts the na¬ tion. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AFFORDED BY THE BICYCLE. To the Editor: Once more I shall seat myself upon my little pink cushion with a heart and mind full of attempts and endeavors. I fully appreciate and realize that there is one Cohen vastly important subject that has not been treated with due consideration by the broad and noble minds of the present age. My friends! I realize my incapabili¬ ty of even dreaming of treating upon this broad and undeveloped subject; but as no other critic will burden his mind, I feel it my duty to devote my time and money toward the awakening of the human race and thereby bring about a renaissance in America along the line of bicycle-riding. Would, my friends, that you could know what a physically developed man I am. The question naturally arises, “What is the cause of Dr. Cohen’s enormous de¬ velopment?” “The four years that I spent at dear Auburn in athletics and the in¬ cessant use of the bicycle” is my unhesi¬ tating answer to the above question. My friends, we should all have bicycles. This might cause serious thought as many can truthfully say, “I have not graduated at Auburn, and hence have not the ‘ready cash’ with which to buy a bicycle.” Mon¬ ey, my friends, should be the least im¬ pediment. The cost of a bicycle is a trivial thing. Yea, yea; I repeat and strive to impress upon you my friends that the cost of a bicycle is the most trivial thing. This may seem sense, or nonsense, clear or vague, but the installment plan solves the problem. Two dollars down and one dollar a month for six months will make you the possessor of an excellent wheel. I will admit that it may be second or third-hand, but who will be the wiser after a thorough coat of stove polish? There is more than physical develop¬ ment to be gained, my friend, in the use of a bicycle; pleasure, enjoyment, exer¬ cise, and the inspiration of “lofty” ideals are also to be attained. When I was at Auburn I often rode out to Rachael’s and reveled in the pleasure, enjoyment, and bliss of her sweet, smiling face. Since I have left Auburn, I have been laborously toiling by day and riding my bicycle by moonlight to further inspire me and develop my physique. I can now ride with one hand only on the bar and hope that by next fall I shall be able to imitate the newsboys in the city streets— ride without touching the handlebars. It is my constant companion and words can¬ not express the solace it affords me. Now, my friends, I have done my utmost to place this important subject before you in its true light and I conclude by saying, if your future bicycle affords you as much pleasure, thought, enjoyment, lofty ideals and physical development as mine has afforded me, its value to you cannot possi¬ bly be over-estimated. Yours truly, DR. JOE COHEN. College Station, Texas. THE TERROR OF THE TUNNEL. By F. J. Skeeler, J. H. Nussbaum, R. B. Simon and James F. Brown. As I sit here in my office and recall the many strange events that took place in the year 1913 at the then relatively small and insignificant A. and M. College of Texas, I am struck with wonder and THE BATTALION amazement, and ofttimes I must needs pinch myself in order to be assured that I am not dreaming or else reading some horribly fantastic tale. In these twen¬ tieth century days, with the wireless at a moment’s notice connecting remote points, our giant airships coursing through the ethereal blue at the astound¬ ing speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour, and many other convenient and scientific appliances now so common that we scarcely give them a fleeting thought, I can hardly realize that what I am put¬ ting before you, really and truly happen¬ ed. Some might say that I have a vivid imagination and am blessed with an in¬ ventive genius rivalling that of Edgar Allen Poe’s, but in answer to the above I will say that once, having been accused of a crime I did not commit, a sanity commission composed of the most illus¬ trious medical experts of the day, passed very favorably on my mental capacity. I honestly believe that the facts I now give you are true ones, for I am stating them as I found them after a sincere and thor¬ ough investigation. However, my own experiences, and they were many and trying ones, I am withholding, for I do not believe that the public has a right to make such a demand upon me. The exact date at which this calamity descended upon A. and M. I do not re¬ member. As near as I can recollect, the first few insignificant visitations came in February or a little earlier. For some unaccountable reason, groups of students, always in one dormitory at a time, would be unable in the privacy of their rooms, to keep their minds on the work at hand —they could not study, and if they re¬ tired, they were unable to sleep. In re¬ sponse to the professor’s questioning the next morning as to the cause of their ap¬ parent ignorance they would be unable to answer. Another body of students of an¬ other dormitory, would be similarly af¬ fected on another night, and so on until every hall had been visited. Matters had thus progressed for several weeks or more, until it finally seemed as if learn¬ ing at A. M. were a thing of the past and the Dark Ages would envelop the insti¬ tution. Then affairs took a new turn. Stu¬ dents began complaining of unearthly and ungodly noises that issued regularly each night from the attics of the various halls. As to the exact nature and cause of the noises, there were divers opinions, but all agreed that there were heard low dismal meanings, followed by a shrill shriek, and always ending with a hollow, mocking laugh. I have heard the latter myself, and coming at a time when the campus was clothed in darkness, and all was quiet save the regular breathing of my sleeping room-mate, it would make my blood run cold, my soft and silky hair to stand on end, and the goose flesh to rise up all over me. I have had dreams in which I was transported to the nether regions, chained to a hot and sharpened crag, with a frenzied demon torturing me in the many and one ways that only a veritable devil could devise, but my sensations at such times were warm and palpitating com¬ pared to the chilly feelings I endured those nights in the stilly quietness of the barracks. After the cadet body had been thrown into a state of suspense and fear, for some time, things took a ludicrous turn. A sec¬ tion of Senior Ags. would be found one morning in a practical Math, class, while some Senior E. E.s would report for practice in stock judging at the barn. What seemed so horribly unreal was the fact that both sets of students were con¬ versant with their new studies—the Agri¬ culturists could take a polyhedron, bisect it and integrate between any limits, real and unreal, while the electricals were able to tell you all about the good points of a race horse, milch cow, or bacon hog. A freshman, A. D. Bruce, tried to take command of the cadet corps, and it re¬ quired the services of ten commissioned officers to overpower and carry him to the hospital. Matters steadily grew worse. The noises began again, and surely that demoniacal laughter was enough to drive the bravest to despair. They now ap¬ peared to come from the radiators. The hot water coursing through the latter be¬ came suddenly imbued with life in the late hours of the night, and it, to them, seem¬ ed as if a thousand mottled maniacs were out for a lark. And then the crisis came. One of the night guards, J. V. Lyles, while walking from Legget to Ross Hall, heard queer rumbling sounds in the tun¬ nel beneath his feet and stopped at the manhole to make an investigation. Suf¬ fice to say that he was found the next morning in the middle of the road, abso¬ lutely unconscious with a peculiar purple seam across his left temple. When brought to, he could only converse in in¬ coherent phrases, but when some one rashly asked him what was the matter with the tunnel, he suddenly turned pale and would reply no more, ever afterward. Although he was as intelligent and in¬ dustrious a fellow as you could find any¬ where, a mere suggestion of what happen¬ ed to him on that memorable night, would cause him to suddenly start, gaze around with frightened eyes, and immediately relapse into a state of silence. But the men at the steam plant had an even more trying experience. It happened that the Senior E. E.’s and M. E.’s were running a test that same week, and Jew Keller and Louis Walzem were on duty. Along about 2 o’clock in the morning, Walzem had just replenished his fires, and seated 308 THE BATTALION himself to rest fr om his exertions. All of a sudden the lights went out, the fur¬ naces became dark as night, and weird howling noises issued from the mouth of the tunnel. Horrified and too terrified to move a muscle, he sat still, enduring all the agonies of a living death, while the furies howled and shrieked about him. Ever and anon, though the fires were out the pop valves would be loosened, and tor¬ rents of hissing steam would exude forth. At the first peep of dawn he rushed into the gladsome sunlight, but fear still pos¬ sessed him and he would never again go near the plant. Keller, the engineer, had in the meantime disappeared and was never heard from again. If a bomb shell had fallen on the cam¬ pus, it would have produced a no more startling effect than did the incidents of that night. Scores of students began to leave. Nevertheless a faithful few re¬ mained behind, partly from pure bravado, or from a desire to see the thing through. The next day, dutch Laake, volunteered to take the night guard’s place, and prom¬ ised to investigate the tunnel, provided any more noises issued from it. All loudly acclaimed the intrepid youth the savior of the college and the student body, and many were the hearty good wishes showered upon him when in the evening he buckled on his revolver, grabbed up his flashlight and started to make the rounds of the campus. Probably the story of what happened to him that night will never be written. All that I know is that at about one in the morning, several shots rang out and later loud shrieks of terror. The cadets rushed forth in their night shirts, and found their brave companion grovelling in the dust near the mouth of the open man¬ hole. His pistol and lamp had disappear¬ ed, while his hair, formerly of a brilliant jet black, had turned a snowy white. Such spasmodic twitching of fear and terror as appeared on his face, I hope to never see again. The sight was enough to cause great drops of blood to ooze from my forehead. Not a word of his experiences could we glean from him. Dear reader, you can possibly picture for yourself the dire chaos, confusion, and terror that now prevailed on the campus. Imagine for an instant the queer behavior of the students, the ghastly meanings and mocking laughter, the mysterious hap¬ penings in the tunnel, and the unreal pranks in. the steam plant. Could the cause of it all be some hellish demon who had returned to earth to repeat his ghoul¬ ish and ghastly deeds, or else some real flesh and blood being, who, armed with a number of devices far in advance of mod¬ ern science, had resolved to raze the in¬ stitution to the ground? Would it ever end? Would some bold and daring spirit undertake to solve the baffling problem? Hope was apparently lost. But we were nearer the solution than we had dreamed. We had not reckoned of the one man who was to turn this tide of de¬ spair, and forever rid the college of the nightly pest. He was a mere student in his Senior year, quietly pursuing his studies in Agriculture. Nothing phenom¬ enal had been noticed in him before, but as the session of 1912-13 opened, the President and Commandant began to ob¬ serve some latent genius beneath his mild and unassuming exterior, and his rise henceforth was rapid. Although he had been a private for three consecutive years, he was appointed in succession infantry sergeant, artillery sergeant and lastly, commissioned officer, with the rank of in¬ fantry lieutenant. I can see him now, gazing out through his heavy lenses with his pale blue eyes, and that perpetual, soft and easy smile lurking about the corners of his mouth. If there was anyone within a radius of 100 miles who could reveal the secret of the tunnel, then surely it was this modest and earnest lad, Romeo Cox. Apparently he had been making some researches unbeknown to the rest of the students, for when he appeared before the cadets at a chapel meeting with the news that he believed he could solve the im¬ penetrable mystery, many were the amazed and incredible glances shower¬ ed on him. But when in his slow and drawling manner, he had related some personal observations, and had hinted at a clew he had discovered himself, dis¬ belief gave way to positive assurance that Cox was the man of the hour. All the students agreed to remain to see what the morrow would bring forth, for Cox had promised he would take the bull by the horns that very night. Escaping from the cadets, who were eager to hear more, he retired to the Chemical Laboratory where he worked until far into the afternoon. At dusk, he reappeared, armed with a couple of bottles of clear shining liquid, and a small vial filled with a dark, brindle pow¬ der. About eleven that night he set forth, without gun, lamp or companion, stead¬ fastly refusing all proffered aid, for, as he said, he did not wish to jeopardize the lives of his fellow cadets, in case his theories proved false. My room was in Ross at the time, and my face glued to the window pane, I watched the fearless youth as he embarked upon his danger¬ ous quest. With head up and alertness in every step, he walked to the manhole, stood still for an instant, gazed around, and finally lifted the heavy iron cover. He then produced a string from his pock¬ et, tied the bottles and box together, and lowered them into the tunnel. As they touched the bottom, he dropped the 309 THE BATTALION string, and then looking cautiously around, prepared to enter the narrow opening himself. Body, shoulders and head disappeared from view, and my brave friend was well started on his peri¬ lous adventure. Deep down in my heart I uttered a sincere prayer for his safety, and then tensely awaited further develop¬ ments-to be contnued. THIS YEAR IN HISTORY. June 20—Cow Hays promoted to rank of major.

PLANS BEING LAID BY CROCKETT-RICHIE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. Plans are being drawn up, finances arranged, and details completed for the mightiest engineering feat since the creation of the world. Beside this giant proposition the construction of the Panama Canal seems small and insignificant. The men at the head of the movement realize that success means not only untold wealth for themselves, but also the satisfaction of knowing that their names will go down in history as having accomplished marvelous things. The plan originated in the brain of “Fox” Crockett. While on a trip to the arctic regions last summer, he was impressed with the remarkable fertility of the soil of Iceland and decided in his own mind that if the extremely cold climate of the island could be modified, it would make an ideal location for a tropical plantation. Immediately upon his return to College, Mr. Crockett took into his confidence the Senior C. E’s. Consultations were held, investigations were made, and a plan of procedure was finally hit upon. This plan is to dam the Gulf Stream where it turns east from the coast of Newfoundland, and direct its life-giving warmth towards the shores of Iceland. This tempering current will warm the shores, the hills and the valleys of that ice-bound country. The dreary, desolate wastes will be converted from wind-swept masses of snow and ice into fields of cotton, groves of oranges, and forests of cocoanut and banana trees. Just as the egg is developed into a chicken, so will the latent resources of icy Iceland be developed. For completeness of detail the plan is without a parallel. In brief, it is to dam the Gulf Stream, causing its warming watters to encircle the frigid coast of the Danish Isle; to utilize the power of the stream, in the form of electric energy, to run every train, street car or machine of any kind on the island; and to use the water, which will flow from the melting ice in the mountains, to irrigate fertile soil. John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, Jr., D. W. Spence, Capt. Watkins, and other great financiers are interested in the movement. At present J. J. Waters and J. V. Lyles have gone to Reikiavik, the capital city of Iceland, to secure a franchise. No difficulty is expected along this line. In regard to the value of the proposition, a few figures will shed much light. Iceland is a Danish Island in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of 39,756 square miles and a population of 70,000. It is estimated that about 20,000 square miles may be utilized for agricultural purposes. On the other 19,756 it is proposed to start a monkey farm. As the temperature and moisture conditions can be regulated at will, at least three crops a year will be produced. 20,000 square miles, or 12,800,000 acres will be under cultivation. Allowing for a net profit of only $100.00 per acre for each crop, this will be a total profit of $3,840,000,000 each year. As it will cost only ten billion dollars to construct the dam, cu ltivate and harvest the first crop, the thing will pay for itself in less than three years. When interviewed, Mr. Ritchie, one of the leaders of the enterprise, gave out the following state¬ ment for publication: “We have undertaken an immense proposition, but with such master minds as those of Mr. Crockett and myself to direct, and with such an able corps of assistants as the present Senior C. E. class, we anticipate no obstacle which can not be met and overcome.” 322 NEW INVENTION REVOLUTIONIZES THE WORLD. BRICK STRETCHER NOW A REALITY. WONDERFUL MACHINE INVENTED BY PROF. J. E. LEAR. WILL FILL LONG FELT WANT. PATn-IT NOW BEING SECURED. MODEL ON EXHIBITION IN E. E. BUILDING. Prof. J. E. Lear, of the Electrical Engineering Department, has taken active steps towards securing a patent on an invention of his which will, in a short while, cause radical changes in all construction work. This machine, which successfully stretches any form of brick, is the result of many years of hard work. In Prof. Lear’s own words, the story is as follows: “It was while I was with the General Electric Co., that I first realized what a boon a brick stretcher would be, and first conceived the idea of inventing one. If we had had one at General Electric, we could have reduced the losses in several departments by fifty per cent. I have worked on the inventi on from a strictly scientific standpoint, and in this way have been able to overcome all obstacles. Of course, the whole secret lies in a means whereby the modulus of elasticity of brick is changed, and also its ultimate tensile strength. To do this, I have perfected a chemical solution, of which, of course, I cannot give the constituents. Suffice it to say, the stretcher does the work. As I said to you before, if we could have had this machine at the General Electric Company, we could have saved much money, trouble, etc.” The machine has a capacity of 5000 bricks per minute, and is run by a 20 H. P. General Electric Motor. The bricks are stacked in a steel bin, and are carried out, layer after layer by an iron arm which moves backwards and forwards, placing them on an endless chain, which carries them through the vat, where they become impregnated with the solution, which increases their elasticity. From this batch they move up, still on the endless chain, and pass between a set of steel jaws, which have a reciprocative and alternative action. That is to say, each jaw clamps a brick, and in separating, subjects it to a pull of 20,000 pounds per inch. This causes the length to increase five inches, with absolutely no change in section area. By varying the pull, Prof. Lear has been able to stretch a paving brick to a 323 length of eight feet. He is experimenting with carbon and has found that he can produce excellent lead for lead pencils from old arc lamp carbons. “Popular Mechanics” says the following: “The brick stretcher invented by Prof. J. E. Lear of A. M. College is a wonderful machine, and much is expected from it.” “Scientific American:” “There need not be any further waste of brittle materials used for con¬ struction work, since the marvelous invention of Prof. J. E. Lear, of College Station, Texas. He has practically secured a patent on a machine which stretches bricks to almost any desired length.” “A. S. E. E. Proceedings:” “Prof. J. E. Lear will address the society at its next meeting and explain the operation of a brick stretcher of his own invention, going into detail on the application of the electric motor to this phase of work.” TEXAS WON GAME. MOST TERRIBLE CONTEST OF MODERN TIMES. HOME TEAM VICTORIOUS IN GAME WITH BARBAROUS, UNCIVILIZED PLAYERS AND INFERNAL MACHINES OF A. M. TEAM. (Reprinted from “The Texan”) Austin, Tex., Sept. 19, 1911.—Last night the team returned in a battered and crippled condition from Houston, where, in the most brutal, barbarous, infamous and foully played game ever chronicled, the trained thug s of Moran of A. M., in conjunction with machines, devices, and contraptions, in- “Uncle” In the Tater Patch stalled on the football field, and aided by the assembled students armed with noise producing machines, were completely routed by our gallant and glorious team. Of the squad, 86 in number, which three days ago left Austin, the most magnificent, superb football machine in all America, only twelve returned, and these were carried on stretchers to the hospital. The remnants of the bodies of those mercilessly slaughtered on that bloody field were, when it was possible to identify them, shipped directly to their homes. The details of the game will not be given, as we have no desire to contaminate the pure minds of our dear readers. However, in order to show the scandalous methods employed by the opposing de¬ generates, it will not be amiss to describe some of the barbarous tactics used. ’Varsity won the toss and kicked off to A. M. The wonderful Kickpatrick landed on the ball with might and mam, but to the amazement of our players, the ball, instead of soaring beautifully up between the goat posts, only rolled a few feet. Upon investigation it was found that Kickpatrick’s leg was broken, his hip dislocated and that the ball was made of lead. The referee ruled that the kick-off must count, but a regulation football was substituted for the remainder of the game. The game now progressed tor a few minutes and our team, although weakened by the loss of Kickpatrick, carried the ball in 324 one clown to the Farmers’ ten yard line. On the next down, the ball was carried fifteen yards, and a goal apparently made. But, to the astonishment of our players, it was found that the goal point had receded ten yards, leaving five yards yet to be made. Moran, seeing that his goal was in danger, called a new squad upon the field, wearing reinforced concrete shoes, and encased in coats of mail, in which were � v-oncealed such implements of war as brass knucks, policemen’s clubs, ammonia guns, pneumatic rams, torsion machines, stilettos, etc. Any team, other than ours, would have given up at once, but they resolved to win at all hazards and in spite of the blows of clubs and the piercing stilettos, and the un¬ casing streams of ammonia, carried the ball to within three yards of the goal line. The immortal twenty-four who fell in the conflict were by means of hooks brutally drawn from the field by burly negroes and cast over the back fence. Here they were pounced upon by veterinary students, clad in immaculate white and provided with saws, chisels, augers, tin snips, etc. Dr. Marstellar, the professor, a villainous traitor to the cause of educa¬ tion, directed the work of vivisection. At this point of the game, when the ’Varsity team was on the three-yard line with, in spite of the al¬ most unsurmountable difficulties, every chance for a touch-down, the ball was knocked from our player’s grasp by the terrific blow of the pneumatic ram, and shot seventy yards down the field. Here a trap door opened, and a Farmer player leaped out, snatched up the ball, and ran twenty-seven yards for a touch-down. The game henceforth was a repetition on larger scale of the foregoing. The A. M. players with their weapons of war and reinforced concrete shoes, broke through our weakened line, but only after terrific struggles. At one time, when Truett had possession of the ball on the seventy yard line, he succeeded in breaking through the Farmer line, and ran four yards down the field, but at this point a stretched wire sprang from the ground, tripping the brave player, and at the same instant a sub-soil mine exploded, blowing both ball and player high in the air, but Truett still clung to the ball. By some mistake Coach Moran shot off the mine a second too late, and Truett, still clasping the ball, was blown to within three feet of the A. M. goal line. Although two of his legs and one arm had been blown off by the explosion, the gritty little player, with heroism unparallelled in ancient or modern times, rolled across the goal line. Then Truett, weakened by his terrible loss of blood, fainted and was hastily delivered to the awaiting veterinary students. When the Yellow and White were in possession of the ball, the artillery of the cadet corps, kept up a continual thunder, and this, mingled with the rattle of musketry, made it utterly impossible to hear the signals even when shouted into the ears of the line men. Considering the overwhelming difficulties which were faced by our players, the showing made could not have been surpassed, and tonight the students are conducting a parade—the streets of Houston were sprinkled just after the game, necessitating a postponement of the celebration—and a feature of the jubilation is the A. M. banner which was captured at West End Park several hours after the contest, and when there was no danger of being seen by any of the ferocious and brutal cadets. Needless to say, we will not play another game with the barbarians of College Station, and Athletic relations with A. M. will be severed immediately. THE SOCIETY EVENT OF THE SEASON. A DEBUTANTE DANCE. MR. AND MRS. E. J. FOUNTAIN PRESENT THEIR DAUGHTER NED No doubt the most enjoyable social event of the year was when last Friday night, February 21st, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Fountain presented their most gracious and charming daughter, Miss Ned, at the Senior Dance in the Elks’ Hall. The beautiful young debutante was most exquisitely gowned in the latest Parisian fashion. Her gown was of beautiful, hand-made lace over pale blue silk, and a wide blue sash over the shoulders and around the waist daintily outlined a perfect figure. The beautiful white neck was encircled by a gor¬ geous necklace set with diamonds and sapphires. Carrying a cluster of American Beauty Roses, this fairest of Bryan’s younger set was a picture fit for kings; a sight long to be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be present. The dance program had to be lengthened in order that every one could have a dance with the graceful and fascinating young lady, enjoy the charm of her dainty touch, and experience a few short minutes in Paradise. Punch, cake and sandwiches were served throughout the evening. In the wee sma’ hours of the mor¬ ning, the happy participants slowly wended their way home, and were soon dreaming of the latest rage of society, Miss Ned. SOCIAL CHATS At the dance last Friday night, many remarks complimenting the gentlemen present were overheard. Quite a variety of civilian clothes were in evidence, as were the season’s latest in tan shoes and loud neck wear. The ladies wore the conventional evening dress. 326 Mr. Dough Stone of Gainesville, was conspicuous for his individuality and personal appearance. He was gowned in a loose fitting blue serge coat borrowed from Husky Lammers, while his pale green trousers were set off by a new pair of black button Walk-Overs. Many exclamations of surprise and admiration were expressed over the magnificent collection of diamonds exhibited by Mr. Whiskey Pete Waters. The 3-16 karat stud given him by his father was very noticeable in a light pink cravat. The flowers carried by Mr. Mick Mikael Langdon’s partner were the prettiest seen in Bryan since the Bobby Smith wedding. Many of the young ladies have designs on such a thoughtful young gentleman. THtMTWDf Lieut. D. Halsey Tucker introduced several new steps to the Bryan and College dancers, which should attain an immense popularity in the younger set. His attractive stick pin gave a moonbeam effect to the illuminations, casting a subdued shade over the entire ball room. Mr. Cholly Chinski, recently returned from Beaumont, was the envy of the other gentlemen present, for with his “Catch-Cold” collar he had no trouble monopolizing the attention of at least six ladies. Mr. Peggy Thomas and other prominent society people from Benchley, were present. Judging from the appearance of his stylish boots, there had been recent rains in the vicinity north of Bryan. 327 A warlike goat of Dr. Francis’ butted Col. R. E. Baylor on the campus last week, severely injuring him and laying him up for several days. Last night Chas. Koimn, while wrestling with a tough piece of Sbisa’s meat, let the carving knife slip and cut himself on the mustache, almost putting him out of the Senior mustache contest. We have at the instant of going to press heard a terrible experience undergone by Pete Apperson last Sunday while drinking one of Leigh’s delicious appleades. For further details see Pete. Tuesday evening Dutch Laake delivered an interesting, elevating and instructive lecture before the Scientific Agricultural Association, on the scientific making and drinking of wine. Last Friday afternoon somewhat of a sensation was created in the E. E. laboratory when A. B. C. A. Kraege let a cantankerous motor attain such a high speed that it threatened to burst its comature. In the excitement Wade Burleson tried to shut off the juice by stepping on the supply mains, but immediately got off again. Fortunately T. L. Chambers stopped the motor from running any more by thrusting a pinch bar in between the spokes of the armatator. Doc Marstellar has been confined to his stable for the past week by a severe attack of spangue. Last Saturday a new emporium opened in Bryan, and free drinks were served until a late hour at night. Sunday evening’s ram list at A. M. came out with the names of 834 students who were given fifty demerits each for going to town without furlough, being absent at retreat, first sentinel inspection, and taps, and wearing “cits” without a permit. With solemn and imposing ceremonies the 23rd brick of the new Mess Hall was laid last Monday afternoon. It is hoped that the building will be finished by the time the Legislature has passed a bill providing for the removal of the College to Austin, and the establishment of a lunatic asylum on the campus. What might have been a serious complication was averted this morning when Sam Bowler became stranded in a mud hole in the Mess Hall road. Luckily a car was just passing, and with a one-inch rope about Sammy’s neck, and a full head of gasoline, the luckless midget was dragged to safety. 328 rmfmm Work has just started on the Y. M. C. A. Building, and in about a week more the contractors expect to finish their job. Judging from the plans the building looks like a crow’s nest on a lofty cliff. Crowd fifty alumni within its narrow confines and the Mexican Revolution will appear meek and lamb¬ like in comparison with the outbursts of the sardined inmates. The big hydraulic tank for the C. E. Department arrived last week and may be seen back of the C. E. Building, where it is likely to remain until the millennium. Unfortunately, while J. B. Crockett was designing the tank, he was struck amidships with an acute attack of hysterysis, with the result that he did not allow for the thickness of the metal or the projecting of the rivets. Now, the building is unable to get on the outside of the tank, while it is equally impossible for the tank to enter the building. Unless the former is hoisted to the top of the latter, and dropped into place, or else a woodshed is constructed about it, the department will have a white elephant on its hands for some time. We are sorry to state that Doc Schmidt, cow doctor and clinic expert, B. S., A. M.; B. B. S., Heidelburg; B. S. of D. V. M., Stroslau; and D. V. M. and B. S., Berlin, met with a serious accident in his Vet. Research laboratory last Friday. He had just gathered some germs from an infected guinea pig and was administering them some knock-out drops, to prepare them for the slide. One of the cocci refused to be thus coerced into shuffling off this mortal coil, and while Schmidt’s back was turned, pounced upon him and bit off an ear. The good doctor, while a little delirious, is resting as easy as possible under the circumstances. At the Shirley, during the dinner hour, while Doc Thornton was rearing back in his seat, engaged in one of those good old-time laughs, which remind one of the barking of a 14-pounder, and while his mouth was open to the back of his neck, in exact reproduction of the entrance to the Mammoth Cave, Irvin, the College printer, threw a water pitcher into the yawning cavity, with somewhat dire results. The plaster of Paris will be removed from the combatant’s anatomy in about two weeks. Saturday, with the rain falling in torrents and the north wind blowing like blue blazes, the diminutive canvas-backed car rolled into College to carry 300 laborers, teachers and stenos back to Bryan. Yesterday Peggy Thomas, in his usual genial and urbane manner flunked for the sixth consecutive time in C. E. 5. With the thermometer registering 105 in the shade, last Sunday, steam and hot water began to flow through the radiators. 150 cars of gravel, cement, sand, asphalt and steam rollers arrived on the campus last night for the campus roads. Then Pottsie ' s pipe went out. CLABBER EATING CONTEST THREE GREAT PHYSICISTS ENTERED. EACH DETERMINED TO W N (Special to the Bat) The greatest contest ever held at A. M. will be staged in the near future, and speculation is rife as to the outcome. For many months the Faculty has been worrying over the selection of a man to head the Physics Department, and, after careful consideration and much deliberation, has decided to have a clabber eating contest to decide the question. The contest is open to all Physicists, but has narrowed down to three contestants, three of the greatest men at College, Leer, Right, and Micky. And why not a clabber feast to decide this vital point? He who eatest the most clabber surely showeth the greatest physical abilities. All three of these mighty men are training for the event, and promise to devour a large quantity of sour milk on its way to cheese. No doubt the calves and cadets will be deprived of their milk, and the pigs of their clabber, to supply enough food for the contestants, but, of course, that is a small matter compared with securing the proper man for the head of the Physics Department. Right says, “I am right, all right, and will be right there at the finish. ' ” Mickey, when seen by a Bat reporter, made the statement, “I haven’t eaten much clabber since I was in Virginia, but am in the race until the finish.” Leer says, if his goozle doesn’t wobble too much, he will surely win the valued prize. 330 Baylor., thi guy that put the he in hero. fi J-UOK-! 1 CftMf AU.

M. College of Texas saying that at last a remedy for the long recognized necessity for young men spending four years at Col¬ lege, in preparation, training for the professions, has been found. This formula, derived by Professor Leavell after twenty-eight years of assiduous labor, together with twelve years of constant motion study, replaces all those of arithmetic, trigonometry, calculus, electrical engineering, mechanics of materials, thermo-dynamics, as well as reducing stock judging to a mere substitution of the points of the animal in the formula.. It is worthy of note that the old and well known formulas: I=E R; S=Mc I; H. P.=PLAN 33000, and the one of the Bug-hunters: Like Begets Like, are things of the past. In short, the formula of Professor Leavell is absolutely universal and can be applied to any science, ancient or modern, including bricklaying and the carrying of pig-iron. THE SHIRLEY ANNEX For true cosmopolitan airs, refinements, ear-mar s, etc., one should make a visit to the Shirley Annex, It is true that “Les Beaux Arts” do not suffer there for lack of stimulation. With two talking machines and a falsetto basso Caruso on the first floor, another machine, two harps, a feedle and an asthmatic yowler, and an art gallery on the third. Doc Ball’s asylum stands in the front ranks of every¬ thing classic. After hearing the above instruments, flanked out by the heavenly singers in concert, and enjoying a stroll among the delirious products of a disordered fancy, one gets a real taste of what he will run up against in the hereafter. Compared to all this a sight of the burning lake and the entrancing melody of the wails of the departed, would produce the effect of a casual visit to a celestial picnic. 333 goihg THAT field BATTERY {S A GONEE, kmmss maaMmaum-t ' iMKiit 334 MEMBERS OF FACULTY REFUSE PAY PATRIOTIC SERVANTS OF COLLEGE TO WORK HEREAFTER WITHOUT REMUNERATION (By Dissociated Press) The people of Texas, including the members of the former Classes of 1913-14-15-16, no longer doubt the well meaning attitude and love which the members of the Faculty bear the College, and no wonder. At the meeting of the Faculty, last Tuesday, a motion was made by Dr. Fall, and carried, that the members of the Faculty, all being actuated by the highest philanthropy, and having no need for filthy and mundane lucre, should hereafter serve without pay other than that derived from loving and faithful service. BOBBY SMITH MARRIED CUPID’S ARROW AT LAST PIERCES RESISTANT PROF’S HEART (Special to the Bat) The many friends and former fiancees of Prof. R. F. Smith were much surprised to hear of the A. M. Math. Instructor’s marriage last Saturday night to Bryan’s most popular young lady. We have not been able as yet to learn the name of the beautiful and gifted young woman, but we have surmised that it is Mrs. Bobby Smith. Details will follow in the next issue. 336 OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE LONG HORN STAFF PUBLISHED WITH A VIEW TO PUTTING A QUIETUS ON THE MULTITUDINOUS PRATTLINGS OF CERTAIN PARTIES EXPENDITURES— Set of mahogany office furniture Office boys and stenographers One “Swede” Bouncer Suits for the Manager and Editor Hats to go with above Janitor Service ....

WILL EXERT HELPFUL INFLUENCE ON UNDERCLASSMEN (By Dissociated Press) College Station, Tex., April 1, 1913.—At a meeting of a number of the oldest residents in the halls and dormitories of the campus, the Land Marks Club was organized. It is held that although this organization is formed for the purpose of offering an opportunity for meeting each night after supper, and discussing the unsurmountability of the next day’s lessons and the depravity of the character of various Profs., the Club, will, in addition, exert a helpful influence on the rest of the corps, as no member will after the barest consideration of the members in the new organization, care to flunk out more than seven years, that being the requirement for admission. The following is a list of the members of this novel and already famous organization. Tallest and Longest Mark, H. W. Thomas; Long Mark, T. T. Wallis; Most Immovable Mark, H. H. Fischer; Marker, P. W. Walker; Common Marks, L. Walzen, E. Vesmirovsky, D. O. Connor. E. W. Laake, T. S. King, M. H. James, J. T. Egan, R. W. Cox; Transferred Marks, G. G. Hall, J. R. Hill, J. W. Jackson, F. L. Montgomery; Promising Mark, H. C. von Rosenberg; Prospective Land Marks, J. D. Hale, F. P. Hays, and J. G. Lott. B. SBISA ABDICATED RESIGNS AFTER FIFTY YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE (Special to the Bat) The Cadet Corps was shocked to learn of the resignation of the beloved B. Sbisa, who for fifty years has served the most delicious meals to the students of the College. Mr. Sbisa’s meals caused the cadets to shun boxes from home—for mother’s cooking was trash as compared with his. We have not learned who will take Mr. Sbisa’s place, but it is safe to say, that all who have tasted, or heard of Mr. Sbisa’s elegant fare, hope the new steward patterns after that greatest and grandest of all chefs, Mr. B. Sbisa. 339 PFEUFFER HALL DRAMA A TRAGEDY IN TWO ACTS Dramatis Personae Levi G. Brown ......... Commandant of Cadets W. Z. Miller ......... Captain Artillery Corps “Military” Brown ........

Second Lieutenant Band Brigham Young ........ Second Lieutenant Artillery Sergeants, Corporals and Privates of Band Scene—Pfeuffer Hall and Vicinity ACT I Scene 1. Reveille blows; band fish; W. Z. Miller and Lidiak get up and dress. Miller sweeps out room. Brigham Young (half raises in bed sleepily): “O, for the love of mud!” (Assembly blows.) Band corporals hold reveille which awakens “Military,” who turns over. “Military:” “I got to get up in 20 minutes. (Falls off to sleep again.) Police call blows. Bob Miller, Division Inspector, snoring soundly. Breakfast call blows. W. Z. and Lidiak start to breakfast. Bob Miller and Schaefer snore on peacefully. One minute before Assembly, “Military” and Fatty Young hear Schaefer snoring and, thinking it police call, get up and dress. Assem¬ bly blows. “Bob” Miller opens eyes and looks at clock. Brigham starts to breakfast. Miller: “O, thunder! I’m Division Inspector. I’ll get up and inspect just before the corps gets back from breakfast.” (falls off to sleep again.) “Military,” dressed, sets slop pail outside door. Bull, after seeing Brigham starting to Mess Hall, arrives on scene. “Military” sees Bull and rushes into Miller’s room. “Military” (shouting) : “Hey, Miller, the Bull’s here.” Miller: “Ugh, what juh shay?” “Military:” “????!; That Bull’s here—inspecting this hall.” Miller leaps from bed six feet in air, lands with one foot in slop pail. “12998 ? X 9244 ? ” ” xxx xyz.” (In excitement fails to notice that foot’s in slop pail; turns pail over, but dresses like lightning.) “Military” steps into hall, meets Bull face to face, and salutes in most approved military fashion. Bull: “Good morning, Mr. Brown. Proposition of being a little late, isn’t it?” “Military:” “Well, you see, sir, I felt like I didn’t want much breakfast this morning.” Bull writes something on pad and continues inspection of hall. Inspects Bob Miller’s room. Miller hides in wardrobe. Bull goes up on second floor. Miller comes out of wardrobe and leisurely finishes toilet. “Military” (musing) : “I believe I do want some breakfast, too. While the Bull’s upstairs, I’ll just make a dash for Hotel d’Sbisa.” (Exit) Bull (upstairs, looking out of window): “Just as I thought.” Writes on pad again.. Attempts to open door of Schaefer’s room, but the disciple of Emil snoring so violently, it prevents opening of door. Bull gives up and makes note of barred door. ACT II Scene 1. Ram Bulletin Board in Gathright Hall. Enter Brigham Young, “Military,” and Lidiak. Inspect egg-list. “Military (reading): “ ‘Absent breakfast formation’—four demerits, and the first I ever got.” Young: “‘Not marching to breakfast.’ Hanged if I ever go to bre akfast again this year.” Lidiak smiles. (Curtain) A SMOKE DURING CALL TO QUARTERS O, happy man! who has an hour To call his own When e’en this thought has lost its power, “I have to bone.” When he can take his only chair, And raise his feet into the air, Rejoicing while he’s sitting there, That he’s alone. O, happy man who does but dare To take a smoke. Who looks at danger everywhere, As just a joke. Who sees the smoke above him rise, Form wonders there before his eyes, A sight no smoker can despise Beloved smoke! In smoke he sees his happy home So far away. He sees the fields he used to roam In childish play. He sees the smoke now form a frame, A face appears without a name, But then, to him it’s all the same. O, pretty smoke! Forgetting all, he leaps to seize That face so fair. His arms have closed with greatest ease On naught but air. The picture quickly fades from sight, He smashes in his upward flight, The globe of his electric light. O cursed smoke. —HOWITZER. t 341 THE RENEGADES The last of the longhorn steers were they— The last of the herds, far-flung, That were trailed from the Rio Grande way In the days when the West was young; They had cunningly dodged the round-up hands, When the range was combed in the spring, But we drove them at last to a final stand— God! The race was a noble thing. They had fled through the stunted cedar trees That dotted the mesa top, But, with heaving sides and trembling knees, We brought them at last to a stop; But the fire was bright in each wild eye, And they bellowed and pawed the dirt, And they flung their spreading horns on high As they ended that last, long spurt. Then our grizzled foreman, Texas Bill, Spoke up, in a voice most queer He said: “I know, we’ve got to kill The last durn renegade steer, But I’ve seen the time when their like was strung For miles on the Chisholm trail— When you heard the songs the cowboys sung To the herds when the moon was pale. “I’ve seen the time when their spreading horns Was thick as the scrub oak trees— When they growed li e the prickly cactus thorns On a million steers like these; So I’m goin’ to hit the back trail here— You cowboys can do the rest— And I’ll know, when I hear your shots ring clear, It’s the last of the old-time West!” GHEAT THINGS-WERE EXPECTED. 342 AMBITION Ambition spoke to me and said, “Strive on—I would not have thee rest When thou hast only just begun Thy work is hard, I know, but come, There is no soul who e’er has won To think how much he gained today. List not to comfort who would bid By lagging—resting by the way, Thee rest, and wait—until—until— For then ’tis harder to begin. Ah, come, and smile and say, T will.’ ” —Agnes P. Adelsdorf, T2. Life is just a constant gamble, Through its different games we scramble, Nothing certain in its ramble— Just a guess from post to post. In this world of haste and hurry, In this life of fear and flurry, Are two beings, LOVE and WORRY, They are first and uppermost. Love will lead while Worry trails you, When he finds that Love has failed you, To his side he has impaled you On the dagger point of hate. Worry leaves a scar that’s mar ' -less; Love is brilliant, Worry sparkless— One is light, the other darkness. Whither way we go is fate. —Rube Welsh. 344 AS THE FISH COMES MARCHING BACK In the crisp December days, When the Freshman homeward strays From our stately college halls. Having left his home behind Here to sharpen up his mind Now returns a “college boy” to Xmas balls. Right off the train he jumps And down his suit-case thumps, “Hello, my son, we’ve been expecting you.” It is his fathers tone, And is he there alone? Ah, no, beside him stands the mother, too. As they ramble toward a car The Fish puffs his cigar, “My son, that is a new one, sir, on me.” He hears his father say And as they walk away, He informs them, “I’m a colleger, you see.” And all the time he’s home With all the girls and some Of the old rivals’ bowing at his feet He prances round the town As one of great renown And gets a write-up in the town “Dope-sheet.” He tells them all about The football game without Relating how the Sophies cut his hair. He throws around the bunk That he could never flunk That time-worn, shelf-worn line of luke-warm air. And there for two whole weeks With red and blushing cheeks, He poses as the hero of the school. He makes each phase a vow And explains just when and how He happened to invent the Golden Rule. And then he journeys back, With a most conspicuous lack Of that brazen spirit that he had when home. It’s different now and then, He’s now among some men Whose pleasure is to make him one Ere he goes home again. —Ex. AT THE GAME’S END. (By Grantland Rice) When I have crossed the twilight goal, Across the final white chalk blend, Say not for me, “He sprinted far To victory around the end.” But rather say that “Down the field He fought his way on yard by yard; He fought his way and held his feet— HE HIT THE LINE AND HIT IT HARD.” When I have left the field for good, To where the ghosts of players stay. Say not for me, “He kicked the goal From 57 yards away.” I’ll feel a triflle prouder there If you can say that “Yard by yard He fought his gory way across— HE HIT THE LINE AND HIT IT HARD.” —In Athletic Section, Houston 1 ost. The BULL orz a Horse”. Looi s®. l ert AlJ rv rjci lr :— V y k.yl PARTING. The books are closed. We are turning from play to the tasks to do. Leaving to fight life’s battle, quitting old ways for new. Young, but as old as the ages. What the ages have learned we know. Yesterday, care-free schoolboys—Yesterday?. Long ago! Tomorrow—Who knows tomorrow? Success, and fame and ease? Yes, for the few—or many—but, beaten down to their knees, Some shall go down in battle. For some who go forth to fight Lie stark and cold and scarred with wounds, when day gives place to night. And some shall win what they hope for. The dollar shall mean success. And some shall win love, and be happy.’ And some, through the toil and stress Of years filled with toil and hoping, shall win to no goal at all; And shall die in an obscure garret, their faces against the wall. Now we are one—together. Eyes look to eyes again! Tomorrow the stress of battle! Tomorrow the world of men! Tomorrow we shall be scattered, and trampled and tossed and flailed; Where men are threshed as grain is. But, remember; good men have failed. Only the Master can tell you if a fellow has failed or no. Only the Master hath knowledge, when the sands of our lives run low. Your craft may win to the harbor, the haven for which you sailed; But when you have won world-plaudits, remember; good men have failed. Whatever your way, go cleanly. Head up. Eyes front. And square. With heart on success, not money, for the sake of the ones that care. With help for the weaker brother, who falters beside the trail; And a: “Brace up! Keep step with me! For a good, true man may fail.” —Judd Mortimer Lewis. I. . G. N. Ry. :: Through the Heart of Texas :: t I 4 !

The tractor is the magician of the farm. It turns hard work and small profits into light work and large profits. Plowing without a tractor is slow, inefficient and expensive. Horses get sick—tractors don’t. Tractors plow fast and deep. Tractors need be fed only when in use—they take up little room and don’t get tired. We have a tractor that is ideal on a small farm and useful on a large farm, the Itt MELY UIL Ia Porte REG.U.S.PAT OFF_ It removes all objections to the use of tractors on small farms. It is light, handy and not expensive. It will bale, shred, haul, thresh, saw, grind, make roads, run a separator, do a week’s work in a day. Two necessary parts of the tractor outfit are the Kumely Automatic Lift Engine Gang Plow and the Dreadnaught Steering Device. The Rumely Engine Gang Plow is very efficient, compact and flexible—• all parts interchangeable. It works smoothly at any depth, and is especially adapted for deep plowing. It is made with 5, 6, 8 and 10 bottoms. The Automatic Lift cuts out one man and does his work better than it was done before. The Dreadnaught Steering Device automatically guides the tractor in plow¬ ing, and does it better than a man can. Steers IN the furrow—out of the way OUT of the furrow. It insures straight furrows of equal width and eliminates the possibility of skips in plowing or breaking. It leaves the Tractioneer’s time free to watch his motor and plows. We’d like to tell you about this Gas Pull outfit. WRITE US TODAY. RUMELY PRODUCTS CO.

MEINRAD RUMELY Founder of the Rumely Policy The first Rumely product was a small separator, which won the gold medal at the United States Fair in Chicago in 1859. Meinrad Rumely laid down the Rumely policy:—“To build strong and well.” From the little blacksmith shop of 1853 to the Rumely plant of 1912 is a great step. The Rumely lines now include the famous Advance, Gaar-Scott Lines, and many machines for many purposes. They meet prac¬ tically every farm power requirement.

Secor the Inventor of the Secor-Higgins Carburetion System vme� v ASOLINE is the scarcest of all liquid fuels and the most expensive. The demand for gasoline is forcing the Price higher. Kerosene is abundant and cheap. Gasoline is going up—Kerosene down. The Oil Pull burns Kerosene—in two years it saves enough to Pay for itself. The Secor-Higgins system of carburetion made the Oil Pull possible. Burn¬ ing kerosene cold for Power had never been accomplished before. John A. Secor discovered the way to use oil without sacrificing a single desirable feature of the best gasoline engine. TheSecor-Higgins system provides an automatic variation in the quantity of fuel mixture in accordance with the slightest variation in speed or load. This enabled the Oil Pull to burn kerosene under all conditions. No other engine had ever been able to do this. We will be glad to explain in detail how it does it.

Cultivation keeps down weeds and loosens up the soil so that air and moist¬ ure can get down to the roots and add to the producing power of the vine or tree. How to cultivate cheaply and well is the problem solved by the RUMELY TOE HOLD TRACTOR The horse’s toe is nature’s most efficient tool for gripping the earth. The drive wheel of the Toe Hold Tractor duplicates the horse’s toe. This tractor gets its pull without weight—it grips the soil. The drive wheel is only 48 inches in diameter and 10 inches wide. The whole tractor stands only 4 feet 6 inches high. You can go anywhere with it— as close to a tree as a team can go—it turns in its own length. It is the right thing for orchards or vineyards and also makes a great small farm tractor. It is good for plowing and hauling; it is light, simple, short-turning, and will go anywhere in an orchard or vineyard. This is a new thing in orchard cultivation and a new thing in tractors. We’ll tell you more about it if you’ll write us. Rumely Products Co.

OilPull received perfect score for Brake h. p. hours per unit of fuel and Drawbar h. p. hours per unit of fuel. The OilPull Tractors finished every test in perfect condition. Tractors are called upon to meet unusual conditions which can ? t always be fore¬ seen. Remember, the Oil Pull scored highest in overload capacity. Kerosene is cheap, gasoline expensive. The OilPull burned kerosene—it proved to be the most economical tractor at the contest. The Winnipeg figures are worth a thought-—they make a fine study in tractor efficiency.
