A M. M FOOTBALL SOUAD. A Brief Summary of the Men Who Made the A. & M. Team Champions. In the hows and whys of football it is stated that the reason Harvard had such a brilliant team was due to the fact that she had- such a strong second eleven. Prom the beginning of the season Percy Haughton spent many long hours in the coaching of his sec ond team, and it was his boast near the end of his season that he could send in a substitute that could play such as well as the regular man. A. & M.’s brilliant victories were due in large part to the same cause. Moran had an excellent second team, and many were the times that it has given the big fellows a harder tussle than either Varsity or Southwestern. One of the best linemen that constituted the A. & M. squad was old M. J. Miller, commonly known as “Grandma.” He received his early training on D com pany’s team, and this season, in his senior year, he decided to try for th< squad. “Grandma’s” 180 pounds of husky constitution backed him up well, and the way he hit the opposing man was a caution. In addition to his other good qualities, he could always he de pended on for his cool-headedness. Puckett was another one of the sen iors to don football togs and to try for the famous Red and White eleven. He had had three years of experience on A’s team, where he had gained a reputation for his kicking and his for ward passing. While yet a young lad, he had tried to outgrow Jack’s bean stalk, and as a result had never re gained his natural dimensions again. This circumstance became him in good stead, however, for all that was neces sary was to give Puckett the ball and let him fall over the line, thereby gaining three and one-third yards per fall or ten yards in three falls. Puckett will be one of our great baseball men in the spring, so lookout for him. One of the coming ends and inci dentally all-round athlete is little Washington of Austin, the Varsity stronghold. In getting down on punts and in tackling his man “Wash” is fol lowing closely in the football steps of that 'demi-god, Carrol Ward. None of j our ends are big men, but they make I up for their small stature by their j playing, and Washington is one of ! these, j Who is that little fellow who dodges • like Choc Kelly, and is never down (unless two or three men are sitting on his prostrate form? Oh, only plucky little Abbott, the quarter that Varsity proposed to chew up in the first round. When he gets started it j does not take him long to get under | headway, and then it is really amus ing to see the big fellows frantically endeavoring to nab him. Abbott played in the first five games and would have taken part in the others but for an injury he received in the latter part of the season. Of this San Antonio lad great things are expected next year. We have reason to be doubly proud of him, for not only is he a good track man hut at the same time he is one of the most energetic sophomores in school. Year after year there are men who go out on the gridiron, and who, al- IMPERIAL Pool Hall AND BOWLING ALLEY. New Tables and Cues. Everything Up-to-Date. T. D. DALY, Prop. CHAS. TODARO.
