SIXTEEN MEN HONORED—PLAY ERS HAVE RECEIVED THEIR T’S The athletic council, which met at Profes.sor Kyle’s house last Monday, decided upon a new method of honor ing the men who represent the cham pion team of the Southwest. In ad dition to the “T” sweaters which have been awarded heretofore, the sixteen men to whom sweaters were given, also received a gold lootball watch fob on the football is engraved the name of the player, the position played, “Champions of Southwest” and 0T9. The following men received their let ters and the fobs: Ward, Hooker, Holm, Cretcher, Hillard, Thompson, Brown, Barnes, Shippe, Carlin, Ham ilton, Balenti, Rugel, McDonald, Deg- get and Kelley. The following men did splendid work on the team but not quite enough to make their letters: Holliday, Da vis, Ellis, Taylor and Smith. These men received a fob with their names and T. A. M. C. on it. Mr. R. Hooker was elected captain for 1910. Hooker is a very popular man in the corps and loved and es- teei^ay^by all his acquaintances. He ha»played tackle for three successive yeaTS and has «lways proved himself invincible. He was chosen as the all-S- as pitcher that many of^^RW'Hi^^Dmrn league teams have asked him to sign up. However, he p’ays the gaime for mere sport and does, not care to enter the professional ranks just .yet, so all offers were turned down. The entire corps hopes that he will give us a swell schedule next year. ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. Tuesday night the members of the athletic council and the football squad were given a treat that will long be remembered. The treat was in the form of an oyster supper and was giv en by the “Fin and Feather” club of Bryan, at their perfect little club house. The guests reached the club house about 7:30 o’clock and after en joying a half hour of bowling and other amusements, were ushered into the dining-room. Here they were served with oysters on the half shell, oysters fried, oysters stewed and oysters in many other toothsonie forms. All the necessary trimmings were there, and judging from the in terest shown, each succeeding course excelled the preceding one. Speeches of welcome were made by Judge Ta bor, the redoubtable Pete Sanders and others of the “Fin and Feather” club, while Professor Kyle and Coach Moran responded by thanking the members of the club. After several hours of enjoyment, the guests prepared to return to col lege, each one declaring that in the association of good fellows, the “Fin and Feather” club were easily cham pions of the Southwest and could not be defeated. These men have stood by old A. & M. through thick and thin, in victory and in defeat, and not once have they wavered in their loyalty to us. We appreciate their support more than we can ever show and can only thank them sincerely. Those who enjoyed the unequalled hospitality of the club were Profes sors Kyle, Campbell, Dean and Bell, and Messrs. Balenti, Barnes, Hohn, Heggett, Rugel, Ward, Thompson, Tay lor, Bell, Forsgard, Cretcher, Darst, Hamilton, Moran, Smith, Scheedel, Ford, Ellis,' Cochran, Chaney, Brown, Carlin, Davis, Holliday, Hillard, Mc Donald, Summers, Stone and Scott Moore.

REVIEW OF THE PAST FOOT BALL SEASON. As we look back over the brilliant record made by our football team we indeed have reason to feel proud of it. We had a good team, we won the championship and we showed our ap^ preciation of it by our loyal support, a fact which has been commented on by the whole state of Texas. as we should have had, we did not play good ball. By the next game our team had made a wonderful improvement. Upon the resignation of Catch Merriam, As sistant Coach Moran was given charge and now with Choc Kelley at quarter the team was working as one indi vidual. This time we were up against the Haskell Indians. After a hard- fought game the big end was given to A. & M. by the score, of 15 to 0. This is the game that put confidence in everyone and we knew we had Var sity going south. In our next game A. & M. was scored against for the first time in the season. The battle took place in Waco against Baylor. After a-“nip- and-tuck” fight the first half ended, with a score of 6 to 6. In the second half, however, A. & M. took the lead by a field goal and the game ended by a score of 9 to 6. November 8 found A. & M. in Hous ton up against her old rival Varsity. This game was pulled off in a down pour of rain and before the largest crowd ever gathered at West End park. It was the easiest walkover A. & M. had, resulting in a score of 23 to 0. Oklahoma, our next victim, and the ones who defeated Varsity 50 to 0 last year, put up one of the hardest games of the season. The first half resulted in a tie of 5 to 5. But in the second half “school was out,” and A. & M. piled up the total score of 14 to 5, this being the second and last time A. & M. was scored on. the annual game in Austin on Thanks- g ; ving day. Here before the largest crowd ever seen in Austin was fought the hardest game of the season. The first half resulted in a 0 to 0 score. In five minutes after the second half had started, however, Choc went over the line for the only touchdown of the game; score 5 to 0. In these games A. & M. scored 83 points to her opponents’ 11, winning every game except one, which was a tie. This is a record to be proud of and the whole corps feels it as such. We hold the record for the longest run, the number of field goals, and the number of men on the All-South western team, there being seven men winning first place, while three more were just about on a tie with those of other schools. Every man on the team was mentioned for some particular feature of his playing. HOOKER CAPTAIN FOR 1910—OUR GREAT TACKLE HONORED. Roger Hooker, for three years tackle Along in the middle of September on our team and a tower of strength Captain Hamilton appeared on the field with his warriors. Among them were many new men and it only took practice to get together the best team in the Southwest. The old men kept dropping in until the arrival of Choc and his Fish Balenti, and then the team was complete. Austin college, in our first game, was easily defeated to the tune of 17 to 0. They put up a plucky fight, but were outclassed. T. C. U. came next and this is the only game in which A. & M. did not come out victorious. We were not defeated, however, the score standing 0 to 0. Our only excuse was that, since we did not have the practice and training in the line, has been elected captain of A. & M.’s football team for the sea son of 1910. Hooker has shown his playing qual ities at every stage of the game. He is a good ground gainer, a brilliant defensive player, and is often seen talking to the players and putting “pep” into them. This is Hooker’s first year on the All-Southwestern team. Besides being a football star. Hook er is a track man. He has held the Southwestern record for the shot put and is also a hammer thrower and dis cus thrower. We predict a brilliant career for A. & M.’s team next year under his lead ership. J. M.
