Texas A. & M. defeated Louisiana State University in Dallas by the score of 63-9. However, the score is in no way characteristic of the game, as it was the hardest fought game of the season. In fact, when the first half was over, the score was 9-7 in favor of the Pelicans. As the field was as hard as a rock, playing was both dif ficult and dangerous. However, this did not prevent the players from making spectacular plays during the whole game. The score was the larg est the Farmers have rolled up in several years. The feature of the game was the work of Everett. His end runs were the best ever seen in Texas. His speed was a surpise even to those who knew him. His broken field run ning was perfect. He even out-doged the Indians. Every time he carried the ball he would gain from ten to forty yards. Bell played a wonderful game on the defensive and in the last part of the game he played quarterback in a man ner that could not be beaten. His kicking was the best he has ever done. On the kick-off he always sent the ball for fifty yards and once it went over the line after it had been touch ed by a Louisiana man, and netted A. & M. two points. Scott played the same old game, calling the right signals at the right time,and carrying the ball himself for long gains. Garrity was in it all the time. He carried the ball for longer gains, and the way he would break up the intereference and get his man seemed impossible until it was done. Coleman seemed to have the Pelicans’ number also. He was a good ground gainer and he kicked the goals per fectly. In the first quarter A. & M. kicked off, the ball changed hands several times, and then the Pelicans made a touchdown on a forward pass and kicked goal. A little later on in the quarter L. S. U. got two more on a safety. The quarter ended with the score 9-0. A. & M. started off strong in the second quarter. Everett got away and made forty yards before he was stopt by the last man between him and the goal line. Then a forward pass failed, and the ball was brought out to the 20-yard line. L. S. U. kicked. Everett made a 20-yard run. Then, after several line plunges Everett made a touchdown. Cole man kicked goal. When the half was over the score was 9-7. In the third quarter L. S. U. kicked off. Everett made a 20-yard run. Then, after a series of line bucks. Bell carried the ball over. No goal. Score: A. & M. 13, L. S. U. 9. Bell kicked off. An L. S. IT. man touched the ball and then it rolled over the line, where an L. S. U. man fell on it, counting as a safety. Score: A. & M. 22, L. S. U. 9. Coleman passed 25 yards to Garrity, who would have made a touchdown had he not been barred out of bounds on the 5-yard line. Coleman kicked goal. Score: A. & M. 29, L. S. U. 9. The fourth quarter was a run away. A. & M. had the ball. Cole man passed 30 yards to Garrity, who ran for a touchdown. Coleman kick ed goal. Score: A. & M. 36, L. S. U. 9. A. & M. kicked off. A. & M. got the ball on a kick. Then, with the ball on the 30-yard line, Everett went 30 yards for a touchdo[wn. Caw- thon kicked goal. Score 43-9. Bell kicked off. L. S. U. kicked. Cole man returned the ball 45 yards. An L. S. U. man intercepted a pass by Rollins and carried the ball to the 35- yard line. Then Rollins intercepted an L. S. U. pass and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Coleman kicked goal. Score 50-9. Bell kicked off. A little later, with the ball in the middle of the field, Everett made 45 yards and on the next play he carried it across. Coleman kicked goal. L. S. U. kick ed off. Everett made 40 yards. Then Rollins gained 20 yards. Then Everett passed to Rollins, who carried the ball over. Bell missed goal. Score 63-9. End of game. EVENING CLASSES IN GERMAN FOR LADIES AND GEN TLEMEN. Mr. F. W.

LEAD TOURNAMENT PARADE Last Friday night at about 10 o’clock the larger part of the corps— probably 700 cadets—rolled out of College bound for Dallas on a special train composed of thirteen cars. At 10:30 “taps’’ was blown and the boys settled down for a good night’s rest preparatory to the day of pleasure that was to come on the morrow. When morning came the cadets found themselves near the H. & T. C. depot in Dallas. As soon as they had alighted from the train they were formed in companies and marched a short distance to the H. & T. C. park, where they were breakfasted on cof fee and sandwiches. At 9 or earlier the parade thru the city began. The crowd which lined the sreets was not as large as usual, but it was nevertheless frequently necessary for officers in charge to give “Right by squads” to avoid col lisions with street cars and other ob structions along the route. If the city of Dallas wants the parade of the cadet corps to be a parade it should have the streets cleared for that pur pose. After the parade free and very welcome transportation to the fair grounds was furnished to all cadets. When the cadets began arriving at the fair grounds they found the iron fence lined on nthe inside with C. I. A. girls looking for their “cousins and brothers.” But when the boys had marched in and been drawn up in military formation on the lawn, they found a disappointment in store for them in the information that they must stand in ranks for an indefinite period until the “regulars” got ready to begin their tournament, the parade of which the cadets were to lead. This disappoinment was all the keener because of the fact that. 600 C. I. A. girls were standing but a few feet away eagerly waiting for the corps to be dismissed. While this wait was going on, free tickets for two meals were distributed to each cadet. Some time after 11 the regiment was set in motion in the direction of the grandstand, before which it later paraded at the head of the column of soldiers. This parade was quite a pretty sight and created much favor able comment. Followinng this the corps was dis missed and admitted free to the grandstand, from which position the boys watched the soldiers maneuver. The various companies had their “stunts” down to perfection, and it was a great treat to watch them. This exhibition ended about 1 o’clock. During the game in the afternoon the cadets did some vociferous cheer ing, and between the halves pulled off a snake dance. The first stunt in
