safekeeping and the danger of loss by
thieves is entirely eliminated. The
pennants put up in the mess hall are
too high in the ceiling to be stolen.
Hence there is no danger of losing
pennants. The committee now has be
tween eight and nine hundred pen
nants and needs fifteen hundred to
carry out its scheme for decorating
the building. There are plenty of pen
nants in the corps for this decoration
if the students will only manifest a
little spirit of the right kind.
Another embarrassing feature that
presents itself in this preparation for
the Thanksgiving hop is the slowness
with which the students are subscrib
ing to the funds for financing the big
dance. Those cadets who do not dance
are expected to give a dollar, and
those cadets who do dance are expect
ed to give three dollars. Let us hope
that the students have been too busy
watching the football games to keep
sight of the hop, and that they will
come across handsom«ly to finance the
football players’ dance.
The decoration and the finance com
mittees need your help; the decora
tion committee wants the use of your
pennants and can use your assistance,
when you have an evening off, in deco
rating the hall. The finance commit
tee needs your dollars. Don’t be nig
gardly in helping this worthy cause.
THE AFTERMATH.
We have met the “Longhorns” and
have sawed the horns off the once
vicious beasts; henceforth they will
doubtless exhibit characteristic qual
ities of domesticated animals, a trait
that should have been taught them
years ago.
We wonder who is soothing them
now? Breathing sighs and explaining
whys? Bach day as we turn our
oculari upon a gorgeous sun rising to
its zenith, may we behold it casting
its brilliant rays upon a team that we
hope has been taught in the past two
years that there are other foes even
in this commonwealth that may be
classed with the Longhorns in ability,
training, prowess, but not in egotism.
Many years have we made pilgrim
ages to that marshy pen, surrounded
by cactus plants and limestone hills,
known as Clark Field; and almost in
variably have we returned to our
haunts along the Brazos void of tin.

But these things have changed tem
porarily at least, and now in the days
of prosperity, when Varsity offers
odds of four to one, we ride in auto
mobiles, have Pullman sleepers at our
disposal, and eat real, sure enough
steaks; no more hamburgers for us.
Seriously, now we would like to
have Varsity’s support on some vital
points that must be considered, one
of them being WHEN IS A PLAYER
PLAYING UNDER AN ASSUMED
NAME? Another is, ARE WE TO
COMPLY WITH THE RULES OF
THE ASSOCIATION UNDER WHICH
WE ARE PLAYING? Or shall we
take every possible opportunity to
evade same? Previous to our game
last Monday we protested one of the
Longhorn players, in due time, as pro
vided for in the rules under which
we were to play. The case was in
vestigated and our protest -was over
ruled. We accepted the decision with
out a murmur. On the other hand, we
understand that twenty-four hours be
fore the game was called charges
were filed against two of our players
and were later withdrawn.
As we see it, this does not appear
to be a very desirable method for cre
ating a sportsmari-like feeling between
the supporters of the two rival insti
tutions. This institution has always
stood for stricter rules governing the
eligibility of players. However, we
have always been in the minority on
this point, and we may have to again
Christianize our rivals, who seem to
think, “You Farmers play this game
as we say, not as we do.”
We are proud of the members of
our team and of their work. They
have showed that it is still possible
to make a winning team out of ama
teurs, if handled by competent coaches,
and our coaches seem to have filled
the bill. They have delivered the
goods, and the team, the student body
and the alumni are satisfied. What
do we care about the remarks of a
few disgruntled sporting editors?
Of course, we are elated over our
victories, yet we do not have any
asinine notions in our heads that our
team is in the class with Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, etc. A couple of
years ago, when the Longhorns bad
clearly won the STATE CHAMPION
SHIP, massive chunks of “hot air”
and “rot” began to emanate from be
neath the hat bands of some of the
inhabitants of cactus-town, and we be
gan to fear that we were forever os
tracised. Even this year it has been
flaunted in our faces that in all prob
ability Varsity would next year head
the Southern Association and would
j not trifle with teams of our class. We
! regret an attitude such as is outlined
; above. We must in candor say that
! we would like to see a better spirit
| in the state, and as for our own team,
j we think an excellent schedule could
| be made by staying on this side of
the great river for our games, with
the exception of the one which we
have already contracted for.
As for the game last Monday, it
speaks for itself. Both teams played
a great game. It was somewhat of a
surprise to us that our line was not
torn to pieces by a backfield that had
had years of experience, and was mag
nificently coached. Then, too, we were
gratified to find that our “subs” were,
capable of tearing through for con
sistent gains.
Well we done beat Varsity by a
mighty nice score.
