VARSITY WON ON A FLUKE.

The Saddest Thing of All.
As the large crowd was leaving the

of my recollection, which is not very ter sting of defeat, others jubilant

poor, the University sat opposite the j over the sweetest of
middle of the field in the grandstand j
and out of the rain during that glori
ous game in 1909. During this last
game, though on bleachers like ours,
they were directly opposite the mid
dle of the field.
Old Lindy on the Box.
No mistake about it; Old Lfndy
was there with the GOODS. Although
everything seemed to work against
him, Lindy fought to the bitter end.
He had everything well planned, and
like the great Nappleon Bonaparte, if
his plans had been executed he would
have crowned himself and his follow
ers with great victory. He had his
megaphones there in abundance; he
had lemons to throw at the cadets j,
he had sweeps and hammers, and he
had THAT SMILE THAT WILL
NEVER WEAR OFF; but his'main
source of noise fell down on him, the
sweeps would not work. He intended
to have them in front, but there was
not enough room there for a baby to
rattle its rattler. He then tried to ^
put them on top of the bleachers stand, 1 staunch warriors of the Red and
but there was not room there for them j White were clustered around their

so they had to be given up as fail- | nessed in many a day—men who had
ures. With an even break Old Lindy j been jubilant over many a gridiron

What Happened After the Game.
The. cadets did not start their col
lection of souvenirs—relics, Y-ALLER
RIBBONS, fancy sky pieces and other
little things that look good on the lace
curtains at College, until after the
game. The whole dog-gone sky looked
yaller right after that game, but the
first thing we knew, a little grey got
mixed in with it. Before we got to
town everything looked grey. What
changes can be wrought in a little
time! One of the Varsity kiddos
said: “If A. & M. had won the game,
they would have taken the town.”
Right he was—close observer of hu-
amn nature. But although we didn’t
win, we took the town any way. it
is customary for the A. & M. boys to
support the winner’s colors, and as
they did not have any after the game,
they made it their business to get
some. From the color scheme on the
campus today, a stranger would take
College Station to be Varsity’s hold
hopes and aspirations of his school
career died with the final sound of
the referee’s whistle. Many a time
in the past year he and Caesar have
locked each other in fond embrace
and whispered the words, “SOUTH
ERN CHAMPION!” But never shall
it be; the cause is a dead one so far
as our captain and manager are con
cerned. We all feel the sting, but
none like Emma and Caesar. The
blood stood still in the veins of every
cadet when Barnes rose before the
corps in front of the Main building
the day after the game and said: “My
grief is for Cretcher and Hooker; it
is their last chance.” Others may re
turn and fight again for the Red and
White and get revenge on Varsity, but
these two stalwarts have fought their
last. Many handkerchiefs were used
after Coach Moran, the greatest of
all Southern coaches, spoke his words
of praise for the loyal student body.
Such words as he spoke could not
have come from any place save the
heart of an Irishman.
