HEAD QUARTERS FOR Drugs Stationery Sundries Cadet Cutlery FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER. Mr. Gibeon Garl Impersonates Familiar Characters. The . first entertainment of the Lyceum course was given Wednesday evening, Nov. 6. Mr. Gibeon Garl was the entertainer for the evening. His make ups were good ahd his im personations true to life. The Ital ian fruit vender, the Polish Jew and the Swede were especially well im personated, both in personal appear ance and in dialect. In ‘‘Before and After,” he gave us a true portrayal of human nature. Mr. Garl has the happy faculty of thowing himself wholly into his impersonations and he succeeded in interesting his audi ence.

Rugle and Allen on the halves played fine ball, while Leggett was easily the star end. His tackling was bordering on the sensational. Hook er was the star linesman, and he played a fine game.

An agricultural society, as previous ly noted in the Battalion, has re cently been formed among the stu dents at A. and M. The upper classmen recognize the increasing de mand in Texas for men who have definite information on agricultural subjects, and who can impart their knowledge to their neighbors. It is to this realization of a fact that the Tiew society owes its existence. An agricultural graduate may some times be called on to make a talk to a farmers’ club, or at a county fair, and on such an occasion a little ex perience in public speaking is highly desirable if not rather necessary. This society will give its members practice in speaking to an audience^ as well as information on many sub jects connected with the farmers’ work. Each member will probably speak to the society on subjects in the department in which he is spec ializing, thus broadening the know ledge of those of his associates who are specializing in other departments. If the society is a success—and we believe the enthusiasm of its members will make it a success—it will be of untold benefit to the Col lege. | ^ THAT SPOTTED DOG. What means that awful rending roar Tearing at my slumber’s door? What is that noise as I awake That makes my very marrow quake? Ah! I know now why I tremble As these fearsome things assemble. For I recognize the tenor Of the preacher’s spotted dog. He, with other dogs unnmbered, - Congregated while I slumbered. None have voices very level, W And they use them like the dejVil, But the one which first awoke me. Seeming as a hou-etop smote Was that demoniacal tenor Of that preacher's spotted dog. What license they to thus harass one Staiting long 'fore day is done? Prolonged horror e’er increasing Yelling, screaming, never ceasing. Fain would I in Chaos dwell. Live and love and die in hell, Where I never would be bothered By that maniacal dog. “A” Company 27, Company 0. D” Company’s ambition for championship honors was greatly modified by tSe result of Thursday’s game. A” went into the game with the expectation of meeting with fierce opposition, hut in this’they were dis appointed, after touchdown after tuuchdown was made with little ef fort. A” Company is beginning to show the result of earnest practice, wise management and sportsmanlike conduct. Beasley, Stalnaker, Sigel, Wadlington and Sloan were the stars for ‘ A” Company, while Hudson, Daugherty and Adams were the stars for “D” Company. Beasley and Sloan each made runs bordering on the spectacular, and much of the credit of Sloan’s run is due to the fine interference given him by Carlin. Hudson’s tackling was always good. Wadlington and Stalnaker did some fine line bucking, and Sloan’s head- \ ' 7 ‘ V T<k»' ;. I ’v. • -t C.;- » * work was excellent. “D” Company’s team did not have many chances to show what they could do on the of fensive, as the ball was in the hands of “A” Company most of the time. We should like to see more sports manlike conduct in some of the spectators. The lineup: “A” Co. Postion “D” Co. McDonald .

This touch down was not allowed as the ball was carried over after the whistle had been blown. The struggle continued with vary ing fortune until Darbyshire of “B” Company carried the ball over for the only score of the game. C” Company outplayed “B” Company, and left a victorious but surprised foe. Knox Lee, Bordages, Dwyer, Warn, Dahlman and DeLisle were the stars for “C” Company, while Darbyshire, McCullough, El liot and Easterwood were the stars for “B” Company.

Sunday morning after we had dis cussed the regular lesson and had sung several songs, we enjoyed some excellent comments on several pieces of scripture by the instructor in black- smithing, who joined us in the latter part of out meeting. We are glad to have an instructor with us at any meeting. BRYAN Roller Rink THREE SESSIONS DAILY 9:30 a. m. to 12:00 noon 2:30 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. 7:30 p. m. to 10:00 p. m.
