Last Saturday afternoon the follow
ing officers of the senior class were
elected: C. J. Davis, president; L. W.
Brown, vice-president; F. W. Cawthori,
secretary-treasurer, and G. A. Saper,
historian. Four memhers of the
Students’ Council-—W. S. Gillespie,
V. Smitham, J. H. Moore and W. L.
Rutan—were elected. E. N. Hogue
and C. J. Davis were elected to serve
on the discipline committee. Officers
for the Thanksgiving hop were elect
ed as follows: President, T. L. Bell;
arrangements, O. W. Greene; recep
tion, W. B. Francis; program and in
vitation, W. S. Gillespie; finance, V. A.
Baraco; fleer, W. K. Hanson; decora
tion, H. J. Morgan.
The same afternoon officers of the
sophomore class were elected: Presi
dent, J. Shelton; vice-president, M. S.
Duncan; secretary-treasurer, E. O.
Youngblood; historian, B. Moreland;
members of the Students’ Council, J.

On Tuesday afternoon the junior
class officers were elected. P. H. Ol
son was again made president; vice-

er, R. H. Wooten; historian, H. A. Jop-
ling; members of the Students’ Coun
cil, J. D. Brown, R. H. Wooten, C. M.
Easley, T. R. Camp.
There has been much favorable
comment on the way the elections are
being held, and there is more interest
being manifested than ever before. In
the recent elections almost every
member of the senior class voted and
about two-thirds of the juniors. The
sophomores, however, did not do quite
so well, only about one-third of the
class voting.
IMPORTANT CORRECTION.
The headline in last week’s issue,
which read, “Farmers Lost to Trinity,”
should have read Farmers Tie With
Trinity. This error was all the
greater because the score, 0-0, was not
stated in the body of the article. How
such an error was made the editor is
unable to explain, unless it be by say
ing that he was in that state of mind,
as, indeed, the whole corps was, when
he wrote the heading.
All sophomores are cordially invited
to attend the Sophomore Bible Class,
which meets in the old chapel at 9:15
every Sunday morning. We are study
ing “Men of the Old Testament,” un
der the leadership of Dr. Fountain.
E. B. CARTWRIGHT, President.

CORPS GIVES TO
CHRISTMAS SHIP
CADETS OPEN THEIR HEARTS
AND PURSES TO LITTLE
ONES ACROSS THE SEA.
PEANUTS WILL BE SENT
Before the chapel audience last
Sunday morning A. E. Burges made a
brief talk, in which he called atten
tion to the dreary prosects the chil
dren in Continental Europe have for a
Christmas this year and explained
the mission of the Christmas ship
Jason, which is to be furnished by
the United States government and is
to sail from New York harbor on No
vember 10th, under the auspices of
the Red Cross Society, laden with
presents for the orphans of Europe.
At the conclusion of his talk he ap
pealed to the corps to do their part
toward stocking this ship, and asked
all who were Wjilling to give five
cents or more for this cause to raise
their hands. The response was most
gratifying. About four-fifths of those
present responded.
Sunday night the first sergeants
were called up and requested to make
the colllections, each in his own com
pany, and they were given a supply
of Christmas ship receipts furnished
by the Houston Post to distribute as
souvenirs to those contributing. Up
until Wednesday morning the collec
tion amounted to $64.07 paid in.
However, about half of the collectors
stated that they had not yet finished
collecting and would turn in the re
mainder later. This extra amount
should bring the total up to $70.
Credit is due these collectors for their
voluntary work. An itemized state
ment of the expenditure of this
money will be published next week,
if possible. A statement of the
amount received from each company

HOLD LOVE FEAST
TWO GREAT STATE INSTITUTIONS
BURY HATCHET AND SMOKE
PEACE PIPE.
EACH CHEERS THE OTHER
The two following clippings, which
were taken from the Taylor Daily
Press, but published in various other
newspapers of the State, show the
progress of the rather suddes recon
ciliation between the University and
A. & M. :
Austin, Friday, Oct. 16.—Evidences
of growning friendliness between the
University of Texas and the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College athletic
relations have been brought to light
by letters which have recently been
exchanged between L. Theo. Bellmont,
director of atheltics at the University,
and A. E. Burges, editor of the Batal-
lion, the A. & M. paper. In reply to
complimentary athletic tickets sent
the Batallion Mr. Burges says: “As
you probably know, the A. & M. Col
lege corps plans to attend the A. & M.
Haskell game at Fort Worth October
23, and from there go to Dallas the
next day. This will be the first time
since 1911 that the two student bodies
have been in the same city at the same
time, and I feel sure that the oppr-
tunity for the formation of personal
acquaintanceships will do much to
ward bringing about a better under
standing between the students of the
two great State institutions. It is the
intention of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College corps to ‘root’ for
the University during the game, and
this fact in itself is an indication of
the growing spirit of friendliness over
in this quarter.”
In replly Director Bellmont said;
“Kindly allow me to express our ap
preciation of your good wishes for the
success of our team, sentiments which
are heartily reciprocated. We are al
so glad to learn that we shall have the
support of the corps at he Dallas
game.” Mr. Bellmont then explained
that owing to railroads’ failure to
grant low excursion rates the plan for
a general excursion of Texas students
has been abandoned, but that “a good
number will, however, undoubtedly at
tend the Dallas game and will appre
ciate the opportunity of meeting the
students of your institution.’ 5
Director Bellmont, in a leter to J.
M. Love, manager of athletics at the
A. & M. College, invites the A. & M.
football squad to attend the game at
Dallas as the University’s guests, send
ing twenty-five complimentary tickets
to be distributed to the football men.
In addition to this he offers to grant
a special reduced rate to the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College students
at the Dallas game with Oklahoma.

A. & M. CROSHES
T. C, IT'S HOPES
FARMERS SHOW OLD FORM-
SPECTACULAR PLAYS MADE.
SCORE 40-0.
OLD TIME SNAKE DANCE
In the fastest game of the season
A. & M. overwhelmed the T. C. U.
team by a score of 40-0. The farmers
came back strong and more than re
deemed the Trinity game. The game
was one long string of surprises. Mo
ran shifted his line and backfield and
the result was a real fotball team.
Everett was shifted to the backfield.
Brown to end and Braumiller played
in the backfield for a part of the
game.
Everett was undoubtedly the star
of the day. In two successive downs
he went 90 yards for a touchdown. He
also made a' 25-yard run for a touch
down in the second quarter. Besides
this he was partly responsible for the
rest of the scores that were made.
He was good for a long gain every
time he got the ball. He kicked one
of the goals also. Tyre played his
same old reliable game of football.
He carried the ball 15 yards for the
first touchdown and made good gains
every time he carried the ball. Bell
kicked two of the goals also. Cole
man played the best game of football
that he has ever played. He passed
the ball in the same old way, made
good gains on line bucks and on the
defensive he got his man every time.
“Sot” Cawthon earned the title of
“Johnny on the Spot.” Every time a
ball was fumbled “Sot” was right
there on the job, and when the whistle
blew he always had the ball. Caw
thon broke up the only chance T. C.
U had to score by intercepting one of
their forward passes, and when “Sot”
tackled a man that settled it; he was
down. Settegast and Braumiller show
ed the Christians how the Dutch v. ent
through France. Both of them went
through the line repeatedly for long
gains, and on the defense they were
like a stone wall. Settegast went
through the line for a touchdown
twice. The Christians just naturally
couldn’t hold him. Scott ran the
team better than he ever did before. He
made one of the touchdowns on a
revolving wedgti play, that was one of
Coach Moran’s surprises. It was an
old time play, but its effectiveness
was proven when it netted a touch
down after other methods of attack
had failed. Sergeant Kenny is said to
have given this kind of play to Coach.
Scott’s kicking was excellent and the
way he returned kicks made the
Christians sit tip and take notice.
Johnny Garrity was right on the job
all the time. He broke up many a T.
C. U. play and made several pretty
runs. Hans Rothe got into the game
right from the start and he was very
successful in helping Nick and Sette
