PLANS FOR DALLAS
TRIP ARE ANNOUNCED
GREAT PLANS BEING MADE FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF CORPS—C.
I. A. WILL AID IN CHEERING.
“We’re Dallas bound—900 strong.’’
Such is the slogan of our honorable
yell leader and his assistants. The
trip this year promises to surpass all
previous ones, and no one should miss
this opportunity to have the time of
his life and support the team in one
of the best and hardest games of
the season. The Dallas A. & M. Club
is sparing neither time nor money
in preparation for the entertainment
of the corps.
Lieut. Hill and Dr. Bizzell returned
a few days ago from Dallas, where
the have been making preparations for
the coming of the corps on next Satur
day. A definite program has not
been arranged as yet, but substanti
ally the plan is this: The corps is to
leave College Station at 9:30 Friday
night on a special train going
straight thru to Dallas, arriving there
at 7 o’clock the next morning.
We will get off at Commerce street
and march to what is known as the
H. & T. C. Park, where we have
breakfast; then after breakfast, a
short parade uptown, where we take
special cars for the Fair Grounds.
There meal tickets will be issued,
guns will be stacked and we will be
dismissed until 11 o’clock that night.
Pretty soft, isn’t it? This will give
every one about twelve hours to see
the fair and Dallas, and say, fellows,
this Dallas is "sure some town’’—at
least that is what Runt and Kike say.
and that settles the question.
Our team goes up against one of
the strongest football machines in the
South next Saturday, and it needs the
support of every man in the corps. L.
S. U. is coming back strong this year
and expects to make up for that me
morable game at Houston last Thanks
giving. It may be of interest to ob
serve that our old friend “Red” Rice,
is with L. S. U. this year, although
ineligible to play this year.
The best portion of the stands has
been set aside for the A. & M. stu
dents and alumni. Megaphones will
be given out at the Fair Grounds and
the A. & M. rooting section will be
marked off clearly. Every cadet
should get in this rooting section, so
that we can give the people of Dallas
a real exhibition of “the old pep,” for
which A. & M. is famous. C. I. A.
will be close by to root for the A. &
M. team and give inspiration to their
“brothers and cousins.’’
The cost of the trip is comparatively
small; the fare is $3.50, which in
cludes a sleeper both ways, meals,
etc. Students will be given a special
rate to the game,* so every man should
be able to go. But if you cannot go,
you can do the school and the team
a favor by talking the trip up. At
least if you haven’t enough college
spirit to support the trip remain si
lent and let the other fellows enjoy it.
In the hardest fought game of the
season A. &M. was defeated by the
Haskell Indians by a score of 10-0. If
luck had been with the Farmers in
stead of with the Indians, the score
would have been 7-3 in favor of A. &
M. In the second quarter the In
dians made a goal from placement.
Later on in the second quarter they
made a touchdown, when an A. & M.
back missed his signal and an Indian
recovered it and ran for a touchdown.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
were defeated, the Farmers put up the
best game of the season and proved
conclusively that we have a real foot
ball team. The Indians were the first
ones to cross our goal line, and from
the present prospects it looks as
though they will be the last ones to
do it. The Farmers fought hard, and
several times they got dangerously
near the goal line, but it seemed as
though something happened every
time to keep us from scoring.
For the Farmers Everett was un
doubtedly the star of the game. In
fact, Everett was the shining light of
the whole game. His line plunges and
end runs were always good for long
gains. He out-ran the fleetest of the
Indians, and several times he almost
got away for a touchdown. Scott
played the best game he ever play
ed, and that is going some. The way
he ran the team surprised everybody,
and on returning kicks he was unbeat
able. Johnnie Garrity was in the play
every time, and wherever the ball
was Johnnie could be found. He
broke up a number of their plays be
fore they got fairly started. Brau-
miller and Settegast lived up to their
reputations by keeping the A. & M.
line air-tight. Once the Indians had
the ball on the one yard line, but
were unable to go thru either side
of the line and the ball went over on
E. N. HENLEY RECEIVES
UNEXPECTED GIFT
The sam v e affable manners which
once made E. N. Henley popular with
the young ladies of the campus seem
to have also made him popular with
the freshmen in "E” company. Last
Saturday he was surprised by being
presented with a French ivory set of
military brushes and comb by the “E”
company “fish,” who had learned that
he was about to leave us and wished
to do something to show their appre
ciation of him. We understand that
his father’s family is going to move
to California and that is his reason
for withdrawing from college.
downs. Almost all of the Farmers’
line plunges went thru Nick, and
he always had a hole opened for the
man with the ball. Cawthon played
his old reliable game at center. Bell
played a good game, too. In fact, the
whole team played first-class foot
ball.
The Indians played their old game
of clean, fast football. The way
they ran thru broken fields, side-
stept and dodged, was splendid.
However, the most striking feature of
their playing was their kicking. They
could kick placement goals from prac
tically any part of the field, and one
of their punts was good for 73 yards.
The stars for Haskell were Powell
and Aritichoker. Their kicking and
running were equally good.

A MISUNDERSTOOD EXPRESSION.
Patterson was putting up the mail
in the postoffice one morning, when
Mrs. Johnson entered the office for
her mail. Just then Pat’s roommate,
who was at the postoffice window,
said, “Pat, give me my letter.” Pat’s
face was almost in Mrs. Johnson’s box
when he replied, “Get out of here, old
woman, there’s not a thing for you.”
Edgar Van Hutton was in Fort
Worth to witness the game there and
will be in Dallas until after the L. S.
U. game to study exhibits and transact
personal busniess.
