Here
Numerous novelty stunts involving |
freak riding and combination mounted
and de-
acts have been
of the gymkhana
which will be given on the infantry |
drill field Saturday, May 26, under |
the auspices of the cavalry unit. Ac- |
quainted with the unusual entertain-
ment to be obtained from such an |
event as the result of years of par-
ticipation and observation in regular
dismounted
vised as events
army posts Captain J. F. Davis, com- |
mander of the cavalry unit is devot- |
ing all his available time to arousing |
interest among the students and se-
curing entries.
The entire cadet corps is invited to
prepare for entering the gymkhana.
In nearly all the events there will be
place for both a man and lady and
this will give the event the much de- |
sired characteristic of a society af
fair, permitting a combination of A.
& M. masculinity and Bryan feminin-
ity an ever harmonious accomplish- |
ment.
Events including both men and wo-
men are the needle and thread race, !
men mount at designated |
in which
places and ride across field with pieces
of thread to lady across field holding
needle, have her thread needle and
race back to starting place, the first

are several such competitions. In an-
other the lady will have a pile of veg- |
etables and she will fill out a list
brought her by partner, place them
in sack in competition of speed with
other ladies with similar piles. Again
riders will race to lady, take her um-
brella, open it and attempt to mount
for the return ride. In still another
event the riders will take a bottle of
soda water from lady partners, open |
and drink before remounting for
race back. Of more excitement still
will be a couple of events in which
both partners mounted. In
