Last Tuesday evening a hard-fought game was pulled off on the Kyle field between the two champion teams of the first and second battalions. Neither C nor E company’s teams had seen defeat. There was a great deal of enthusiasm exhibited in the game, due to the fact that both companies had strong teams that were going to fight hard for the coveted letter. The game started with E kicking off to C. From start to finish each team had to fight for every yard gained. There were no star plays pulled off in this half. The chief plays used were line bucking by E and end runs by C. Ainsley showed up well at left end for E in this half. After much scrimmag ing the half ended with neither side scoring, and the ball in C’s territory. After a short intermission the second half started, E again kicking off to C. The teams scrimmaged for about ten minutes, when Dwyer received the ball and made a forty-yard run for a touch down, at the expense of E’s onside kick. Shaw put up some good inter ference, thereby enabling Dwyer to make his run. After the first touchdown, C gradu ally worked the pigskin down to E’s Have you seen 13 1 | M "F P ?

A SENSIBLE MAN. The following story Is told by some of the football men: While en route from Austin to Col lege the football team stopped over at Valley Junction for lunch. Some gentleman, outside of the group of college boys, had gotten into a dis pute with the waitress relative to the thickness of some bacon he had ord ered. In the course of the controversy the gentleman made some remark about “loving my wife, but, oh, you biscuit shover,” a remark that so en raged the lady that she “wopped” him over the head with several dishes, threw the contents of the sugar bowl into his face and performed sundry other pugilistic feats. She then flounced over to the table occupied by the football boys to finish serving their order and carrieH over a cup of coffee and placed it by the plate of Charlie DeWare. Charlie is reported as saying: “I—I didn’t or-r-r-der any coffee, but I’ll take it alright.” * ! ♦ ♦ ♦ H. G, BATTLE .. The .. CAMPUS BARBER Two first-class men at your service.
