year. Our? track teams ranked
well in the pasl); why should they
not rank equally well this year and
in future.years? We have a num
ber of cadets who can run, jump,
and throw. f 4 Abo, there are other
boys here “who can, with proper
training, become adepts ia other
exercises. Bo if A. & M. loses out

have to charge her hur iliation to

In or<4er that the teams may be
prepared fir effective work, the
students should know the yells
and be on the side lines, not on
the field, cohering the boys when
ever they n$ake a goo.!'play. When

the ones to <ncourage the lads try

good materjKl for a football team
should i make great efforts to
show the bops that we appreciate
what they are doing and what
they ex peet to do.
