Men Saturday, Mr. Caesar Hohn, popu larly known as “Dutch,” was elected captain of A. & M. football team for the football season of 1911. The elec tion was held by the “T” men and by the men who have been recom mended for “T’s”. “Dutch” has play ed left tackle on the A. & M. team for the past two years and is one of the cool-headed men who play to do or die, and who have put the A. & M. college in the first rank in inter collegiate athletics in this state. Even at this early day the indica tions are good for a splendid team next year. The team, made up for the most part of men comparatively young in football experience, will have most of the present squad back for the next season, and. these men will liave better football heads than they had this year; they have the benefit of hard experience against strong teams, and have learned more than they knew at the beginning of the j hoary year. Indeed, Captain Hohn stands to lead a champion team the next sea son. Dutch is popular among the stu dents and the “T” men’s selection could not have pleased the cadets bet ter. He is a hot air merchant and can talk for his rights or for the rights of his team. The Athletic Council has the ap pointment of the football manager, and at its meeting next Saturday night, it will in all probability select “Emma” Imboden to look' after the business part of the football work. ! particular victory of the students se- j cures for the college one of five schol arships offered by G.

In that grand old town of Columbus where oak trees attain the huge diam eter of ten feet and afford enough shade to cover an acre, there exists a jewelry store.
