Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege 29, Texas Christian Univers^ o is the score which tells how our boys played football at College, October 22. Before the game there was some doubt as to how our men would handle themselves. This down in the game. However, they never gave up, playing a plucky game from start to finish. With i this football spirit, the men were unable to last, the players being in a deplorable physical condition. This, no doubt, was caused by the lack of a training diet. The de feated men often called time in epairmg Solicits cadet patronage. CHARUE when the Farmers started they showed determination and alto gether. This united action on the part of the eleven was a great im provement over the. work done against Baylor, and it is hoped that the good change will continue. Several costly fumbles, together with the heat and clouds of dust that canopied the field, prevented the score from being much larger. The A. and M. men were heavier and in a much better physical con dition than their opponents. Ken drick for the home team played a great game, gaining ground in fine style. Delesdenier and Walker starred in the back field. They both made sensational end runs. Benjamin at his new position, full back, did well and, seldom failed to advance the balk Capt. Boeivtcher, as usual, did steady and effectual work in the line. Mention Wust be made of Woodman and McF ar land, as ends. They played a spirited game.

BURT NORWOOD visitors did fine line work, espe cially when their goal was threat ened. No doubt this good work would have been done throughout the game if the men had possessed physical endurance. The ends and backs were very weak on both de fensive and offensive work, failing to break the interferences. At times their attempts to tackle were pitiful. The full back was very slow in backing up the line, and at times on a clear tackle he seemed satisfied at touching the advancing man. The T. C. U. men on fum bles endeavored to pick the ball up instead of falling on it. The quar ter back played a listless game and tackled poorly. Wright at right tackle was very slow in charging, and many gains were made over him. Among the visiting players to be commended for spirited work are Martin at center, Frizzell and Bloor at guards, and Muse at tackle. Muse did fine work both on offensive and defensive playing and clearly showed that he out classed his teapi men very much. T. C. U., get a training table, have longer practice hours, and you will produce a much better. tea x m.

TEXAS VS. CHICAGO. The University football team is now on its northern trip, the most extended trip of the kind any Texas team has ever taken. To-day the team plays Washington University of St. Louis, in the great stadium in the World’s Fair grounds, and next Saturday it plays the University of Chicago on the latter’s home grounds. The game with Washing ton will probably not be a very hard one for Texas, as that school was re cently defeated by Sewanee by a score of 17 to 0. The game with Chicago, however, is the one in which all interest centers. It wfll be the first game ever played between a Southwestern team and ffhe of the big northern iet NEW FALL WEARABLES our Slock o( Rain coats is by far the largest in Bryan.

Pardue, Iowa, and Northwestern are counted among the strongest of the big west ern teams, and yet they went down before the Maroons by the decisive scores of 23 to 0, 39 to 0, and 32 to 0, respectively. On the other hand, it cannot be denied that Varsity is also unusually strong this year. That this is true is proven by the fact that she de feated Add R,an i by a score of 40 to 0, and Trinity by a score of 23 to 0, and by the further fact that the Haskell Indians, who beat Missouri 39 to 0, were able to score on Texas only by a drop kick from the forty-five yard line. It is certainly to be hoped that Texas will be able to hold Chicago down to a small score and show them the quality of the ma terial Texas teams are built of. SOME FOOTBALL SCORES.

A game of base ball was played Sat. Oct. istli between the players of last year’s squad and the new men who will try for the team next spring. The object of the game was to find out how many good players there are among the new students and who they are. Captain Howard F. Hanna is greatly pleased over the result. He said: “The work done by both old and new men last Saturday was very encouraging. We have an abundance of good material among the new men, and the old players show great improvement over their last year’s work. This will makeV competition between the applicants for the various positions exceed ingly keen. “Quite a number were given a chance in the pitcher’s box and some good arms were discovered. The pitching of Lane, Smith, Huff and Dunning was especially good. Outfielders are also numerous, Kelly, a new man, being one of the best. Wessendorf’s work with the mit shows improvement over what he did last year, as does also his throwing to second. ‘ ‘ Altogether, prospects could not be better this early in the year, and I am confident that the record of last year’s team will be upheld, if a new one is not established. ’ ’ / 1 J 1 j:
