THE BATTALION.

the last three seasons. They play the Houston team at
Houston on November 6, Add-Ran College on November 13,
at College Station, and play the return game with Add-Ran
at Waco, on Thanksgiving day.
Written while under confinement.
How fair to my sight are the scenes of the campus,
As the yiew from my window presents them todav;
Oh! I wish I had never been tempted to visit,
And get caught in the attempt at getting away.
I clearly see now, I am sadder and wiser,
’Tis better, far better, to gracefully yield,
To the rules and regulations of the A. & M. College,
For if you don’t obey them your fate will be sealed.
How I hate in my heart that blue-coat tyrant,
Who could not be made to take the true view,
Of the cause of my visit and attempt to escape;
But persisted in taking a hand in it too.
But for him I would now be enjoying a vacation,
Which we all are entitled to on each Saturday;
But he would not accept my brief explanation,
So now in my room I am forced to stay.
It seems its more easy a camel should enter
The portals of bliss in that land far away
Than to hope a cadet who breaks a regulation
Where this faculty rules and justice holds away,
Could escape from a punishment they have awarded
Decreering that this he must surely pass through.
But for good conduct we’re always rewarded,
By him who wears the unitorm olue.
Well, it must be endured, so I reckon we’d better
Gather together some day and decide
To cover our heads in the dust of repentance,
And never again their laws to deride.
