THE BATTALION.

a nice time on the gridiron as they
wished they resolved on other means.
They insisted strongly on our remain
ing over until the next morning, and
after working our manager, Prof.
Puryear, he at last succeeded in hav
ing our tickets extended, and we re
mained.
By a special invitation we all pro
ceeded to the University at 8 o'clock,
where the students of that splendid
institution entertained us most royally
for two hours. Besides meeting all
the young ladies, some of whom we
already knew, we had the great pleas
ure of meeting Baylor’s new president
Dr. Cooper, and Mrs. Cooper, also Prof,
and Mrs. Gray, and other members of
Baylor’s faculty. But the time passed
entirely too fast; hours seemed lige
minutes, and it appeared only a short
time before the clock struck eleven,
and it was time to depart. Many a boy
hated to leave those walls, or, more
truthfully, those accomplished young
ladies; but we all succeeded in get
ting away, all claiming to have had a
fine time. The foot-ball boys wish to
express to the Baylor students their
appreciation of their hospitality, and
to assure them that whenever they
visit the A. & M. College our keys will
be thrown away, and everybody will
turn out to give them a pleasant time,
and thus partly repay the enjoyable
reception they tendered our foot-ball
team.
