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

played a fine game. AH the second
.team showed up well. There were
only six of the first team used. Kel

THR AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
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-

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.

“B” Company 5, “C” Company 0.
“B” Company was handed a nicely
wrapped up package of surprise by
“C” Company last Tuesday. “B”
Company entered the contest with
too much confidence, as “C” Com
pany had suffered defeat at the hands
of both “D” and “A” Companies,
but “C” Company brought “B”
company to the stern realization of
facts by making a touchdown in a
few minutes of play. 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.

part of out meeting. We are glad to
have an instructor with us at any
meeting.
