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.

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, anc 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 1. & 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 "0" 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 -;'0 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 --~ ..- -- ~..- --- ~ ....

I I II I ...r- I 'II I I I I --.-,~ J I II f , I. ,1 ,I \ 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 co.mpletion 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. \1 I I il I 11 \ 1 1 II 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 froni 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. I' I, I I 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 \", I 1 I I I 32 - - - --- - - -- -- .. "'"-' .-.- - - - -..., J :i.i l~ . , . ~, . \"'~ . 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 , 1 } ~ r ) t~ I ,- t .' \ .~ , I I .. of ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. The courses are designed to give the student a thoro~gh 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 a~imals, 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 fo'r the purpose of giving special training in the man'ufacture' 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. I . . ~ ,~ f \ The courses in the ENTOMOLOGY Department are so arranged as to give studentG 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- s~cts for, reference, and a good entomological library for students' use. ~ ,~ 33 , . \", I - , I I i I II I I I . .I 1 ,I I 1 I I I . I I 'I I I f,;; , {?;:. t~ ?t, . f~ ~. -rr - , 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 df 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 laborator;ies 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 farmin'g, 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 carryon 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 :..Jl. ~.).. ~;'-"'lif~~~;v0 ~_ ~- -----~-- r- ---, ! I J 1 ~ . I 'I II "'" I I ! 1 ' 1 I ..

They are doing a great work in experimenting along all agricultural lines, and from time to time these exp~riments 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 dem'and 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, '''Jimm'ie'' 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 t.hat 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 3'; ii, 1 ---, I I ,I t I ~ I ) , . I I . . L I · , I I I i I I 1 I I I i. ~ ~l I I ...J L.. I . I, 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 cOllstruction, location, maintenance, and construction of waterworks systems, protectionl levees, irrigation and drainage canals and ditches, reservoirs, bridges, masonry structures, the surveying and mapping of areas, and drafting is given. ' .. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The Electri<;:al Engineering Department is one of the most fully equipped depart- ments o~ tlfe College. Every kind of electrical appliance is to be found in the labora- ~ 36 . I r... I r I -.. I ~- I" ~ ~, I I I : '. ...J .; 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 ( , \ ~ . 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 c'ourses 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.

Inasmuch as mechanical engineering is essentially - the base of all eng~neering, 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 erf 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 a,nother though~ 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 t-=--:-=--__-=-:.-~ _ 38 L __~-c , I - -- --.., j ( , I , I <OJ . I .

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, su~ar, petroleum, etc., the Departmel}t of Chemical Engineering has been added to the College curriculum. Laboratories fully equipped with all of the necessary apparatus t'o afford this instruction are mai'ntained in the Chemistry Building. , --- ---..., I I :1 I I' I r I 1 ~ ~ I I' J I I ~ m J . ..

His favorite cxpres. sian is HWhat is the big word wittl yeu?" Alex has left his heart in Bc~umont for safe keeping, and if a letter doesn't appear each Thurs'lay morning he can be fuund in his room gazing from a. window and in a very deep "coke." Noone need ask the reason why. Alex is st.rong for B Co, and even ran a candy store ior 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. I ~ I 72 """ "-. ;.- "" - _L JOHN VICTOR ANDERSON.

Hazing w'as 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 strong-est 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' a~d 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 h6nors in foot- b~ll; the meningitis scare of last year; the wholesale cannings of the present session, togethe.r 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 J.>efore the people of Texas-these are but a few of the minor troubles which h~v,e 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 '14, 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 '13-'14 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. . .1 1 r l ~ ~ I I I I I I ~ ~~ 139 ~ .. j. .

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, b~t 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 I, 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 ~eek 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 areams. i I .

A. McARTHUR L. WITCHER N. M. BRA UMILLER B. D. BRYAN President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer ' Sergeant-at-Arms 'R istory 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 Oi1." In the Commandant's Office he would have noted a truly amusing contrast of behavior; the sang froid, the "l-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 wa3 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 act'ed 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 schoo1. 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.

Sbisa's "hombres" rose earlier than u'sual and had a steaming breakfast ready for us soon after the bugles. had roused us from our long night's sleep. 'd 11 1 l , ~ The Hike I ~. Last year the "hike"-that dread of the Freshmen and delight of the Upper Class- men-began on March 30. Long before daybreak that memorable Saturday morning ,;, ""''''''''',1m" 'M''''',' _~ ~ I ~ 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 I ! l' ~ 1: ~ '1; 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, wi-.en 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 !=ieceive 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, tne appetizing odor of barbecued meat and boiling coffee smote our no'strils. The Companies were halted and the work of pitching tents was begun. A scramble 188 , 'I I ~ I .'j' ; ~ '. .. ," r I I 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 hall scarcely been. completed before there came the welcome dinner call. Tbe r I " t ~. Companies, in their order, filed by in double rank, one line turning to the right, and the other to the left: . Each passed~ 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 ~ I I -{ I~, t I 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 J '1 4 189 ~ '. ~ - . - ----- ~ - ~ '"!!iiJ1!."::- -~--=-----=-- - --------- I .

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 . . t!,. ./ \ .j I, ,! '. f \ ~ 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- e ~ t I I \ I I ~ 1 ~ II ~ 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 .i .~ 191 ~ ~ .. "i 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 st't in cmd wet us to the skin. The roads quickly became sloppy and hard to t' avd. By the time several Companies had passed over the ground, the hills were so slippery tha~ne 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 u ~ r \ l\ 1'1 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 - ~ '.- 1" " :Y . { :j > .~ : "' I I \ -, ~ """ I ;"..-~;::Z' "~. ~> ,..;:-.,.....". ...."',,--..,....;-.:.,-{.'---""'" /' t .~.

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 studen-ts, 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. Team"and head work instilled into the players by Charles Mo'ran, . the greatest of all football coaches, served the Farmers well during the ~ast season. :Not Two Small Ones Athletics On to Houston 'ill ill Joe and "Cap" '" l t_ ~\ ~I I ~ .

It,: 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. man'y 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. p" ~.'. l l.r . . . I. 1!:. .1 Y. 1Jr \" it} 11 t 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. 197 / / / / The HT" 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.

I I FOOT BALL MANAGERS . 1912 } j I 1:0 I I l } We have been in the habit of having a training camp for our foot ball team and so far this has proven quite a success. As you have such a chauge 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 athle'tics and is contemplating entering College. Coach Moran, Coach U tay. 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 . --.----=....... -----.... f 1 1 \ 202 -. -- - - ---------== 1 1 1 I , I .1 i 1 t ! .~ f ;, ~ .. ~; I I H I Our Coaches - I I J 203 .. good many fellows who could not attend camp and joined the squad at the opening of school. On returning fro'm 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 I I I " , 'I I Captain Bell t. Trophy Room;' but the weeding out process soon began and also the excuses for fa:l- 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" and the "Lambert Glide." 2D4 , ", /1 ,J f!i ..~ 1 i I -1 r-- - , I.

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 O. 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 O. . 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 th~. South. , 4' Summary A. & M__..____.................-..m.........m--..--...-....- 51 A. & M........____.___.._m..-m..-...............-..--:-:-:-,-..- 60 A. & M_.....-.............-.......-..--...-.-:.....--....--..... 27 A. & M__.____.._.._.._.__m.....---..---..---....----..---....- 58 A. & M-...............-.....-------.....--..............----.... 28 A. & M..__._..__._._____......-..-..-.........--.-.............. 41 A. & M......-...-........-..--..-.-....-...---..------......---- 41 A. & M_......-....-..----..-..........--..........--..--..--.... 10 A. & M....-....--..-..-..-..-..-..-.........--......--.......... 53 369 Daniel Baker....-..---.--........-.....----...........-..- 0 Trinity University..-.-.........-..m..--........-..... 0 University of Arkansas...-........-..-....--'--' 0 A.ustin Collegem..._m..m_.._m.m......m-....----.. 0 Oklahoma University_m..m___..m..m...-__..__ 6 Mississippi A. & M___m....-..-:m....-..-.m-..... 7 Tulane University .........-..........m..--....m.. 0 Kansas Aggies......m..m...._m_.........m..m..-- 13 Baylor ......_m_....____.____...._______..______._m.._...__.. 0 . . 26 All Texas Team At the end of every'season the newspapers all ov~r the country are filled with All- State, All_Western, All_American Teams, etc. These teams are selected' by the authorities on the game who have seen all the teams included in action and' this usually falls to the coaches, officials and newspaper reporters. 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. po~ition, .one does not consider how well a man played in anyone particular game, but how consistently ne worke-d through the season, nature of his work and his gen~ral value to the team in the most important games. . , 213 First Murray-Texas Crow-A, & M.

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 rellpect 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-Higginbot.'1am and Crow-to the squad from Company football this year and they won their lettt!rs in a walk. Vesmirovsky outkicked all the opposing toe-artists this year. 214 .11- ( ;~ 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. "Stearn 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 passes 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. ~" , :j.

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. 4_ .ft. 1 r I I t- , } l ~. i t I I I , " I 1 l 1 \ I . r .~ ~ , !

The second game was rained out. . : This defeat did us a great deal of good, as we got down to work and in another wee!t.we began to..l:!:se~ble a baseball club. Our. infield was greatly strengthened by the addition of Jack Watkms, who had been playmg 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 cOl\tested 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 .~ " - " I l , I , I ._11 I I J d I I il II II j.1 'I I' Stiteler Higginbotham '--, Collins Vesmirovsky ,.' \ I I I F I Brutton Skeeler Watkins Grissom . 220 "' --11 f I t I \ . \ - I I ~ Ii u a ~ !"J i~ ........... .. .- Southwestern.

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 fo1l9ws: 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 "'-, ..... I ;\ ,1 ~ '~ 223 ~ ..d "I i Collegiate Meet. A. & M. is certainly proud to have this man as their Captain for the 1913 Track Team. James and Lambert also'':id 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. / Schaedel 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 224 -. r i 1 ct ~ d ~ , 1 1 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 point::, 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 at,tribute our defeat mostly to the fact that we lacked entries in the jumps and the quarter-mile race.

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 play,ers 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. .' "Il ~ ~ Company .fl thletics 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- knoyvn 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 ulJon 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 for 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." Th-e sti\nding 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 heav~ 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 everyone 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' 233 ~ -r ;.:-:~ -- - _\- '.. - .' :"',,- ~,;.. -=- HA.B" Football Team Bland Gaines London Cover Bull Prell Mueller Left End Right End Left Tackle Right Tackle Left Guard Right Guard Center Fullback Fullback Right Half Left' Half Right Half Quarterback Manager BraumiIler, N.

Doughty Veteran of Many Night Expe- ditions Forced to Retreat After Go- ing Only Short Distance To- ward Flowing Land of Feers and Rocktails. (By Dissociated Press.) 'I f- .,..j' , 11 .~ l /.. I 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 ceqters in the territo- l-" .. 'f F I !/ I J, ':r~ t Hays ry are College Station, important for the military' stores there, and the village of Bryan, five miles' dis- tant, There ,ire two important roads leading from tollege Station to Bryan- ,,\ \ \ Number Less 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 i~ the Shirley Marsh, l'mportant because of the part it played in this campaign, and which, dur- ing the wet season, att<i"Jts 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 M;lner 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 ~w should adopt this plan there has been much argument. Some contend that certain stores incorporated with General Hilland, absolutely nece,;- 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 HiIland. Sergea.nt 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, I I ..II I 303 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 1 I fA 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. 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 I } I r j~ I tj / I r" I <to I ~~ f ~ Object of Hays' entraining.

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 mc>re 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 en.emy 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, Fdes, 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.) THE BATTALION ~ .

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 first Charmer army commanded by :~, i !

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 # , I ! r f'. - . -... - --.- --- ~- ~ "'_ I very fond of it. Until, the baby is five years of age, one dose of this compound every twenty minutes -day and night is alI the nourishment'they need. One dose is a half galIon regardless of age: Every child promises to be a Bill Taft in size, and with such marvelously scientific par- ents they wilI no doubt be the intelIectual 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 footbalI and' in fact, try alI sports known to the students of the col- lq~ , , . 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 nights listening to the beautiful luIlabys 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.

I fUlIy appreciate and realize that there is one l..onen -. vastly important subject that has not been treated with due consideration by the broad and noble minds of the present age. My friends!

Would, my friends, tha't you could know what a physicalIy developed man I am. The question naturalIy 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 truthfuIly say....I have not graduated <it 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 instalIment plan solves the problem. Two do lIars down and one dolIar a month for six months will make you the possessor of an exceIlent 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, efljoyment, 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~t Auburn, I hav,e 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 faIl I shaIl 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.

As I sit here in my office and recall the many strange events that took place in the year 1913 at the then relatively smalI and insignificant A. and M. Co lIege of Texas, I am struck with wonder and ~-------- ~ " ,", ..-, 'THE BATTALION f. amazement, and ofttimes I must needs pinch myself in order to be assured that I am not dreaming 9r else reading some horribly fantastic tale. In these twen- tieth century days, with th~ 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 :it fleeting thought, I can hardly realize tl1at what I am put- ting before you, r.eally 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 moanings, 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 tbe campus was clotl:1ed 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 I, r I . I ! t I . t , it ...' . r I 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 tH'ose 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 litudents 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 ele<!tricals 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 tfte cadet corps, and' it re- quired' the services of ten commissioned officers to overpower and carry him to the hospital. Matters steadily grew wors~. 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 fe~and stopp~d~at...fu.e ~.~.. "- ~t 1- d d wttn rngntenea 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. Eo's and M. Eo'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 Ji e n e r e I. t- '- r. THE BATTALION i> himself to rest from 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 pl'ace, 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 J: 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 moanings 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 collep"e 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 wit4 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 a1 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- me'nts-to ce contnued. ' .. June 20-Cow Hays of major. ' Sept. 23-C011ege reopens.

GULF STREAM TO BE DAMMED, PLANS BEING LAID BY CROCKETT.RICHIE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. 1 ,I 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. Imme(Hately 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 shore., the hills and the valleys of that ice-bound country, The 1 'j . \ I t ~ I! Going Home I \ \ , 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 develope:!, 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 expecten 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, cultivate 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 MACH!NE INVENTED BY PROF, J. E. LEAR. WILL FILL LONG FELT WANT. PAT,,"_lT 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 invention 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, r----~O~ ' ,~ _'rt+e":" ~ELL. So ~"H~A~ "'-...S....€!L ~TU"" TOOl, . '-----~' ""fA~sot('MIL1.r:R. l('f.YlEWIII'i HI:> ~AlfoRI'I'~ 15001< '~t~\(~:J\oEIWI:K / ... I ( , / 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 alter 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 ~, l L --_,L_, . .. 'I, I . I III 'I "I'I 'I I'I .11 '" II I, I' I I I ! '~ ..'

"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.]. 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 thugs of Moran of A. & M., in conjunction with machines, devices, and contrapti.ons, in... ........ "Uncle" In the Tater Patch stalled on the football field, and airled 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 maIn, but to the ,amazement of our players, the ball, instead of soaring beautifully up between the goal 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 lor a few minutes and our team, although weakened by the loss of Kickpatrick, c,rried the ball in -~ 324 ~ 1 - I 1 ~ . one down 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 ..onc.ealed 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- :easing streams of ammonia, carried the hall 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 ~tl1dents, clad in immaculate white and provided with saws, thisels, 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 i I r- i ..tl , ~,1 , ~I ': 325 ., ' grasp by the terrific blow of the oneumatic ram. and shot seventy, yards down the field. Here a trap door opened, and a Farmer playe-r 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 paraae-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. ]. 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 beau~iful, 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 /'" J J J I r I Miss Ned Fountain 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 everyone 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 contrentional evening dress. , ~ .~ 326 ....- . ,~ ~ ..4 ... ~,. l tt &' l t . r '~ 11' 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.

His attractive stick pin gave a moonbeam effect to the illuminations, casting a subdued shade over the entire ball room. Mr. ebony Chinsld, 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. / '2 327 I, . ,.. LOCALS A warlike goat of Dr, Francis' butted Co!. R. E.

"' 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 Ucits" without a permit. . ,... ;:: W-ith 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. it. 328 ''1 .. ~. " Work has j~st 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, N ow, 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. Moo 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.

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 m\,ch 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, HI am right, all right, and will be right there at the finish." Mickey, when- s.een . by a Bat reporter, made the statement, HI 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. - , . t)AYLOR., THE GUY THAT PUl THE "HE" IN HE ~O. (.)U:>T M'f .l-u<.,lC..,' 1 t..~t1C ~LL T,,",f.
