JUNIOR ATHLETICS
We have always been very proud
of the representation that our class
has had on the different athletic teams
of the college. Ever since the year
we were “Fish” we have always held
our own in this department. The
members of the Junior Class who
have won fame for the class and
themselves are Caesar Hohn, Schae-
del, McDowell, Algelt, James, Under
wood, Grissom, Laake, Vesmirovsky,
Dwyer and Millender.
When “Dutch” Hohn came to col
lege three years ago he had never
seen a football. He began football by
playing with “E” company. So start
ed the football career of one of the
greatest warhorses A. & M. has ever
known. Under the able coaching of
Charles Moran, “Dutch” has become a
finished product, and one of the most
fearless and ablest guards in the
Southwest. He is full of aggressive
ness and is the life of the team. The
way he made openings in the Varsity
game last fall was wonderful. “Dutch”
has been chosen to captain the 1911
team, and a beter man could not have
been chosen to lead a football team.
He was Moran’s choice for an All-
State guard. Caesar is also one of the
standbys on the baseball team. This
makes his second year behind the bat
on the college team. As a backstop he
is hard to beat in college athletics.
He has an excellent “peg” to the
bases and is good at sizing up the
batter. In all probability “Dutch” will
captain the 1912 baseball team also.
Charlie Schaedell came to us last
year a Soph. Fish and took to foot
ball right away. Schaedel is also a
guard of no mean ability.. He, too,
was mentioned for an All-State guard.
He is a steady and aggressive player,
frequently breaking through a line

CAPT. MOSES U. S. A.
(Continued on Page 3.)
When word came from Washington
that Captain Moses would be relieved
as commandant here some time dur
ing the next summer it was received
by all four classes with sudden re
gret. This was especially so of the
Junior Class, for it is upon us that
his loss will fall heaviest. Next year,
as Seniors, the discipline of the corps
will rest largely on our shoulders and
in the great task before us we will
many times find need of the guiding
hand of such a man as Captain Moses
to clear away the obstacles and show
us the right and only road to true
success.
When Captain Moses first came to
A. & M. College conditions here were
much different from what they are
now. During his first year came the
trying times of the “strike,” and it
was then that the cadets first found
just what character of man they had
to deal with. Though in every case he
voted against granting the demands of
the cadets, he proved to them that
his sole aim and desire was to do
that which was best for them, and by
his actions during this period he
gained their everlasting friendship
i and’ respect.
When Captain Moses first came to
j A. & M. he found the cadets wearing
i the old unsightly uniforms with the
I turndown collar and ' numerous brass
: buttons. It did not take him long to
decide that this uniform would not
do and in its place we now have our
neat “No.l,” a uniform that has been
favorably commented upon by every
inspector since the change was made.
Next he added the white trousers to
the uniform, and it is safe to say that
no one has ever seen the corps at
dress parade in uniform No. 3 who
has not ben enthusiastic in his praise
of the uniform. He also abolished the
old flannel regulation shirts, and sub
stituted the comfortable chambray
shirts now worn.
When he first came here we were
equipped only with rifles. During his
service he has secured, first, the bay
onets and this year the canteens and
haversacks. He has also gotten the
cannons restored by the government,
and now, instead of allowing the Sen
ior privates to live lives of ease and
luxury, they are require'd to spend
their spare time taking care of these
big guns.
He established the custom that the
| On Wednesday, April 5, the north
bound H. & T. C. brought in Capt.
! Howard L. Daubach, of the General
: Staff, U. S. A. He came to make the
| annual inspection of the corps, and
! no time was lost in getting dow^
\ business. Classes were suspended foV
i the afternoon and before nignt had
; fallen regimental review, escort of
i colors, drill and inspection of arms,
and dress parade were disposed of.
Nothing was left then except guard
mounting and inspection of quarters,
which followed next morning.
On account of the “hike” the guns
were in bad condition, but the numer
ous company - inspections caused ev
eryone to get busy with oil and rag
and soon all traces of rust and Brazos
bottom sand disappeared. The inspec
tion of arms was not as rigid as
usual, but no doubt there were many
sighs of relief when the inspecting
party had passed.
Captain Daubach left Thursday aft
ernoon for San Antonio, where he is
to inspect the Peacock and West
Texas Military Academies.
From the smile Captain Moses wore
for the next few days it is very evi
dent that the corps made a very good
impression upon the inspector, and
that the college would without doubt
hold the distinguished rating that it
obtained last year. It is certainly to
be hoped that Captain Daubach favors
us in his report, not only because of
the pride we naturally take in our
standing, but also the satisfaction it
would give -Captain Moses to know
that upon his departure he could see
the college still holding the highest

seen fit to remove from our midst
our esteemed classmate and friend,
