Number 158 SMX TICKETS TO SEE KITTY WILL BE GIVEN AWAY The Cadet Recognizing “Kitty’’ on the Military Walk Sunday Eve- ning is the Lucky One The latest news indicates that the student body will soon get its first glimpse of “Kitty”, whose “arrival” next Tuesday night at Guion Hall ~ will be the sensation of the season. The chic little actress from Broad- way will be at College for a few davs prior to her local debut in order to get in touch with the famous A. and M. spirit. It is difficult to imagine a more crushing combination than Broadway wildness plus A. and M. pep. Prof. Brackett, present production manager for Miss Benders, as Kitty is known in social circles, announces that she will appear on the Military Walk Sunday evening between 5:30 and Retreat. She has selected as her vehicle of transportation the auto- mobile. She will have with her dur- ing her drive a block of six tickets for the Tuesday night production, which she will present to the first person who recognizes her Sunday afternoon. The lucky man must step up to the car, or jump it as it passes, and call her by name. Freshmen are eligible. No descrip- tion of “Kitty's” personal appear- ance is available, except that she will be a flaming sensation and a blonde, natural or otherwise. But polish up your eye-balls and snap this chance to take your “pen” to the big show Tuesday night for the asking. A ON THE SICK LIST The following students were con- fined to the hospital yesterday: G. D. Anderson, T. J. Cockrell, T. C. Davis, Geo. Figari, B. C. Glaze, T. Johnston, D. C. Mast, J. R.

It takes a good audience and ‘a good play and some very good players to enjoy thirty-five minutes more of it after a six reel eugenies thriller; but only one man left the Airdome and sev- eral others were attracted in during the performance of ‘Free Speech”, while the audience proved that they had at least thirty good laughs left in them. Some of the audience may wonder why they had to wait until after the picture for the little bit of revolution- ary Russia that the College Players so vividly reproduced. The explan- ation might well be offered in a tragi-comedy, ‘The Odyssey of a Beard.” When Boris, the fiery an- archist who laments that there will be no one left to shoot, approached the make-up table to grow his beard, he learned to his horror that his beard was absent and A. W. O. L. at that! There was still time to get it for it was learned that the hirsute adornment in question was graceful- iy flanuting in the breeze some forty furlongs away. A burly Sophomore undertook to get it; but on the way he met a civilian Fish and politely asked him to run the errand. He went, he got the beard, he departed. Time passed, the hour of six-thirty drew nigh; anxiety drove a player to (Continued on Page 2) Sulstiiite for the Irish Potato. The dasheen is a subtropical plant, which produces well in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. It has been tested thoroughly at the experiment sta- tion substation located near Angleton, where it has produced 175 bushels per acre. It can be grown in the Gulf Coast region on farms not particularly adapted to the Irish potato, being a good substitute for it in every particular as a food. the State.

THE AGGIES HAVE VERY GOOD START TO CHAMPIONSHIP Next Week’s Games Will Test Thor- oughly Bo:h Their Pitching and Hitting Ability (By James Sullivan) By defeating the Owls in two games here this week the Aggies have made a good start toward the third championship for this season. To date they have played five games, winning all of them. At the opening of the season pros- pects did not look good for a suec- cessful year, since “Red” Daniels, the Aggie star hurler would not be able to play on account of sickness and the two dependable twirlers of last year graduated, leaving only Freshman material to draw from for a twirling staff. Higginbotham, a natural out-fielder, has been pressed into service on the mound together with Henderson, Sprague, Farrell and Olsen, it now looks .like the Ag- gies will have a fair pitching staff. Higginbotham held Rice Institute to one hit in the last game. Next week the Aggies face Baylor and the following week they play both Texas and S.M.U. at College. These games will test both the pitch- ing and hitting ability of the Aggies, since their pitchers will face heavy hitters and their batters go up against some of the best pitching in the conference. It is indeed pleasing to note the work of umpire Rankin of Brenham, who has worked the four games played at College. His work is be- yond doubt the best seen at Kyle Field. He has a good eye for balls and strikes and his decisions on bases are very good. The writer has had occasion to see many umpires in the Texas League work and with one or two exceptions the work of Rankin stands well above all of them. STUDENTS WILL LEAD THE SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE The Sunday evening service in the Y. M. C. A. Chapel tomorrow will be led by students, at which time several students will discuss two vital problems of student life. All students and interested members of the teaching staff are urged to take part in this meeting. ——— et Ere eee MRS. D. SCOATES TAKEN TO TEMPLE FOR OPERATICN Professor D.

Hedges, Professor Chemistry and Chemical Engineering with Professor M. K. Thornton took a party of thirteen junior and senior Chemical Engineers to South Texas last week on an inspection trip last- ing four days.

At Beaumont the students after putting .on overalls, were shown every detail of the refining process used in the Magnolia Petroleum Company plant, having it explained to them by John W. Newton, Assistant Super- intendent, and W. W. Leach, Head Chemist. The Company showed the party every courtesy possible. They even served dinner. Two A. & M. men Leon Skeeler, ’15, and C. M.
