THE B ATTALION 3 t 1 ‘MIKE” Finn, Assistant SPORT “DOUGH” ROLLINS, EDITOR ‘SNOOK*” GARDNER, ASSISTANT ATHLETIC COACHING WILL BE COURSE GIVEN HERE AT COLLEGE THIS SUMMER For pi-omoting sports activities in the high schools, junior colleges and academies a practical course in coaching, designated the School of Athletics, will be given here in the 1921 Summer Session by D. X. Bible, head coach. There is a constant and increasing demand for competent men to di rect athletics and to coach athletic teams and the instruction to be giv en in this course is destined primar ily for men who desire to learn the best methods of coaching popular sports, such as football, basketball, track and field athletics in the pre paratory schools. The course will occupy five weeks, beginning June 6 and closing July 9, and may be taken along with other work in the summer school. Both theory and practice work will be in cluded. A part of the lecture work will be devoted to the theory of athletic training, treatment of sprains, bruis es, bandging and first aid. One or two lectures are to be given on the organization and direction of ath letics. Six hours a week theory and ten hours practice in football for two weeks; six hours theory and ten hours practice in basketball for one week; six hours theory and ten hours practice in baseball for one week; six hours theory and ten hours prac tice in track and field athletics for one week, are the coursese to be of fered. No additional fee will be charged for this work, but equipment consis ting of one gym or basketball uni ball, baseball shoes and tennis shoes, will be required. This course carries no credit to ward graduation. ■ejj* +£«• ->$* -*•£+ +%+ ■*£«■ +£«- ■*•£«- LAST NIGHT. MAHAN’S CREW BEATS PIERCE’S AGGREGATION First Time in History Captain-Elect Loses Victory. Shiflet Walker End Neeley Wendt Tackle Cowan Carroll Guard McClelland Center McMillan Quarter Buckner Pinson Half Miller Full When Harry Pinson tucked Mil ler’s long pass in and dodged the re maining distance for a touchdown, an old jinx of years gone by was broken and a precedent established; for the touchdown meant victory for the team coached by Jack Mahan, Captain 1920. A fumbled punt and a long pass gave the victors their lone chance and they took due ad vantage of it. The game looked quite different in' the first quarter however, when Buckner, Wallis and McMillan advanced the ball to the fifteen yard line where it changed hands on downs. This was their last chance to score and they lost it. Miller, Pinson and Buckner were the stellar performers for the backfield, and McMilan was in just time enough to convince the coaches, spec tators and judges that he possessed the stressed qualities of all-company quarterback. “Bill” was forced to retire however early in the game as a result of badly sprained ankle. Miller’s punting was very consistent, also his passing, but outside of a couple of exhibitions, his sweeping end runs were a bit off-form. Pinson, the real find of company ball con tinued his smashing atack off tackle, and easily earned one of the silver balls. Buckner too, comes in for his share in the line plunges, for his ter rific drives brought the stand to their feet time after time. Wallis played a good defensive game, but his in jured hip kept him from equalling the feats of the selected. The cadets would have certainly enjoyed the battle had Denny and McClennand been selected on opposite teams, for both showed real class, but “Me” was conceded the victor. The selec tion of guards seems to have never been in doubt, for both “Fish Red” Cowan and Homer Carroll have been mentioned as the star in every game that they participated in this year. At tackle, Fish Neeley, was pre-em inent, with Frank Wendt as his fight ing mate, this pair bids fair for Var sity next year. However, they were not the only men who won for them selves mention, for the write-up would be incomplete without men tioning the services of Kewinn and Ramsey. The ends were given to Shiflet and Walker, but Mitchell made them fight their upmost for the position. ❖ A. and M 26 ❖ > $* Rice 16 ■*$*■ -*£* +£«- *%*- ■+%*■ +£* *$+ -*$«- +4+ The game as a whole lacked the fight that the last company game displayed. Team-woi’k was a trifle lacking, but such wjis expected in view of the numerous substitutions necessary to give every man selec ted a chance to show what he had.

For a few days it was rumored that a new student was enrolled whose beautiful symmetry of figure and fastidious taste of clothes would easily place him at the very apex of our social ladder. Exclamations of admiration and adoration fell from the lips of more than one effete member of the fair sex when she beheld this splendid structure of physical manhood, stand- ver globule will be back next year ing five feet eleven in his shirt sleeves to don the togs to help Bible preserve the football surpremacy of Texas A. and M. AGGIES VANQUISH S. M. U. MUSTANGS Both Games Hard Fought, but Poor ly Played. First Game 15-5. In the first contest the Aggies had things pretty much their own way, but their failure to hit the basket was so strinkingly peculiar that it ap proached nothing short of comical. The visitors too seemed unable to locate the hoop even at short dis tances, howevex - , without even the as sistance of a telescope, Kitts x’ang up one and Cooper got a free goal. Wil liams, Hartung and Ehlert singled and this was the whole job for the first period. However, in the second half the Aggies came back fighting and possessing more accui’ate aim, and Captain Foi'bes found the cage on two occasions and made three out of four chances at free shots. ‘Dutch’ Ehlert made another one, and this was the total for the Farmers. Coop er, the Mustang Captain made a couple of free shots and this com pleted their display of caging for the first act. The game was very fast and hard fought, but the Aggies had the advantage all the way. Their passing on the court was up to stan dard, except in the numerous cases of mistaken identity, on account of the similai’ity of the sweaters, but their shots at the ring was complete ly off-form.

Kitts Forbes (C) Right Foi'ward Matthews Williams Left Forward Brooks Ehlert Center Cooper (C) Hartung Right Guard Griner Dwyer Left Guard Substitutions: Pearson for Brooks. Referee: A. B. Knickerbocker. Second Game 14-13. This game opened with a rush and furnished the Aggie stands a frenzy that they do not care to expexdence again. Kitts, the fast eager of the Mustangs, rung up a couple of bas kets for the visitors and Matthews folowed with a couple and Cooper chimed in with a single making the score of 10 for S. M. U. for the first half, while a little “phobie” was all the cadets could pull. The stand went wild and yelled themselves hoarse crying for a victory, and their cries failed to go unheeded, for a little kinky-headed boy from Hous ton, named Wiliams made such possi ble for he rang up goals in one, two, thi'ee ordei'. Ehlert made one and Forbes made one giving the Aggies a 13-12 lead, when “Toda” Forbes was caught holding, and Cooper tied the score, but an instant later the case was reversed, and Captain For bes made the basket that ended the game. The game was fast and ex tremely hal'd fought, and the team work of the Mustangs seemed to have been improved over night, but even at its best it failed to come up to the criss-cross, zigzag floor work of the Bible crew. They passed the ball down the coui’t at will, but lacked the necessary accui'ateness in their tossing. Wiliams was the star for the Aggies, while Kitts won the ad miration of the cadets. With this game in hand the Aggies are now dominating the top floor of the league with a 833 percentage, while Baylor and Texas on same footing of 667 percentage for the sec ond stoop, the Rice Owls next with a third and Mustangs 1'esiding in the cellar with a goose-egg to con tend with.

Perhaps a day passed before the startling identity of this 1921 Beau Brummel was revealed, and the Cam pus Chat Club was afforded enough gossip to bore a Big Bertha. The in dividual who had cut such a swath in local circles was none other than Wil liam “Hero” McMillan, erstwhile ne’erdowell and T-bone athlete. People at once began figuring Charlie Nitch’s losses. Charlie was interviewed by our cub reporter and made public statement that he wasn’t ponzied, because he already knew Mc Millan, and wouldn’t even sell him a button—though it might hold a re sponsible position. He further stated that he would like to press Bill’s pants provided he was in them. Fortunately, collars do not hurt our Hero’s neck, owing to the elasticity and turning qualities of celluloid, and he is rapidly training an efficient pom padour. It is said that he sleeps in a skull cap to assist nature and olive oil in beautifying his pompadour. We wonder if the next cold wave will chill him? Gairrulous busy-bodies have un earthed startling revelations how Wil liam could afford to put so much in clothes besides himself. Some assert that his father is an oi\ magnate while others maintain that he owns a res taurant. Some have gone so far as foundland, and died accidentally. As Bill means well; why, naturally, our young hero is able to drape his ex terior with tweeds of the finest silk, and also, wear the insignia of the union. This gaudy array of bilious mas culine attire is not the only notable change in the habits of our beau tiful youthful hero; he seems over charged with the burning desire to be instrumental in the furtherance of architecture and for the past two weeks has been deeply interested in this particular branch of learning. We ain’t saying nothin’ but we un derstand, as stated at the beginning of this poem, that there is, indeed, a new pupil in school, and SHE is studying architecture. We ain’t sayin’ nothin’ else. -f* •*$*■ *** ■*$*■ *;• +;* *■;+ +** *■;, •»*« ❖ THE SENIORS’ PHILOSOPHY ❖ Q U E E N SATURDAY The Season’s Most Captivating Comedy Drama “THE MISLEZ1DIHG LADY” New York’s Latest Stage Sensation, Featuring BERT LYTELL Also a Big Two Reel Girlie, Girlie Comedy Hit A CHRISTY SPECIAL Monday and Tuesday—A Dramatic Power of Beauty “ONCE TO EVERY WOMAN” Wednesday and Thursday—“The Beloved Villian” With WANDA HAWLEY Friday and Saturday—Rex Beache’s “Going Some” 1* ❖ * There was a guy ❖ ❖ In our class ❖ ❖ And he was wondrous wise ❖ ❖ He worked all night ❖ ❖ And he worked all day ❖ ❖ And one fine mom ❖ ❖ He passed away— ❖ ❖ He’d flunked. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Another guy ❖ ❖ In our class ❖ * For brains would take no ❖ ❖ prize ❖ ❖ For he can bluff * ❖ And he can stall ❖ ❖ Work never bothers ❖ ❖ Him at all— ❖ ❖ He passes. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Don’t overwork 4- * It isn’t right ❖ ❖ It’s killed a million guys ❖ ❖ Just dance a hit ❖ ❖ And flirt a bit ❖ ❖ And sling around ❖ ❖ Your worthless wit— ❖ ❖ And graduate. ❖ ❖ —Voo Doo. ❖ ❖ ❖ »+» 4* 4* 4* 4* *i* ♦♦♦ ❖ 4' 4* 4* * “It’s the first down,” said the gos ling as he looked into the mirror.— Juggler. 666 breaks a cold quicker than any remedy weTthowT 666 quickly relieves a cold.
