“Thermopolae had her mesesnger of
defeat, the Alamo had none.
A. & M. lost the football game, but
thereafter the battle was won.”
The football men followed the corps
home by eight hours, arriving on the
Hustler Tuesday at 2:30 p. m. Long
before their arrival the cadet band
played “Home, Sweet Home,” then
followed “Casey Jones” and “What
Made the Wildcat Wild.” Immediate
ly after the band commenced playing
cadet after cadet came forth from
quarters, and went to the source of
the music. The mad rush there last
ed some thirty or forty minutes.. Not
a voice was heard. The only sound
was that made by the firm tread of
the shoes upon the gravel walk. This
sound of crushing of pebbles mingled
with the clang of the old iron gate on
its backstop seemed to foretell a calm
before a storm.
The train pulled in, the band be
gan to play, college fellows com
menced yelling, excitement ran high,
passengers started to exit from the
train, then a football man appeared,
followed by the others; the cheering
burst forth anew; not a football man’s
foot touched the ground; aloft in mid
air he was borne upon the shoulders
of his fellow-students to the huge
wagon drawn entirely by humanity.
When all were placed upon the float
the gay throng turned upon the main
roadway into the college grounds.
In front of the Main building every
thing came to a standstill. Then a
a thousand voices called upon Coach
Moran for a speech. Mr. Moran said:
“Fellows, this is the most loyal bunch
in the world. By actions and by words
you' have proved yourself such; you
have stood by us through calm and
storm. When we won and when we
lost you show the same spirit. Gen
tlemen, the inevitable has come, yet
you remain sincere.”
Next Captain Hohn, addressing the
| corps, said:
l “Boys, two weeks ago, when we
! came back from Dallas crowned with
| victory, I told you that I was the hap-
j piest human in the world. Today we
| are not coming back victorious, but I
| am still happy. After the battle of
j Waterloo, when General Wellington
| was looking over the vast number of
; bodies, dead and wounded, he turned
'to one of his generals and said: ‘A
' great victory is the saddest thing on
[earth, except a great defeat.’ For,the
past two years we have had our vic
tories. Yesterday we met with a sad
defeat; but I am not downcast in the
least. God knows I wanted to win the
game, but since it is lost, I fail to see
where we can do any good by crying
about it. It would have meant a great
deal to me, I’ll admit, but that is not
what is hurting me. Boys, it is a man
in this crowd for whom I feel sorry.
This man has stood by the football
team and by the corps of cadets
through thick and thin; he has worked
with members of the team like no
other ocach in the country ever has
worked. He has been on the athletic
field from morning till night, working
like a nigger. He has fought for ev
ery inch of ground that would in any
way be of interest to members of the
team; he has raised the standard Oi
athletics of this institution from a low
to a high pitch; he had his heart and
soul bent on putting out a winning
team and had the hard luck to be un
successful, and I think we should all
stay back of him—I refer to our be
loved -coach, C. B. Moran. When the
Mess Hall burned down the other
morning, and it seemed as though it
was impossible for our training table
to go on. We were sent to Bryan for
breakfast and when we returned at
11:30 our tables were all fixed up at
the Shirley. Who did all this? It was
Coach Moran. Fellows, is it -sible
for us to lay down on this 1 (A
thousaitd voices shouted: ‘A we
never will lay down!’) You have got
the spirit that gentlemen ought to
have. When the University was beaten
last year their students failed to back
the team; their manager deserted
them, and everything was gloomy to
them. We were beaten yesterday,
beaten because they played harder
and luckier ball than we did, but our
corps of cadets is with us stronger
than ever; our manager has not de
serted us, and God knows he will not
desert us. Now is the time when we
must show the pure and loyal stuff
which goes to make up an A. & M.
cadet; we must show that it takes
more than a defeat at the hands of
the Yellow and White to discourage
us. The team is going to fight for
the honors of this institution stronger
than it ever has. We know that you
fellows are going to back us, and with
your loyal support and wfith the sup
port of the team we can show Coach
Moran that we are with him, whether
we win or lose.”
Altgelt said: “Fellows, it was -on
account of a broken thumb that I
wasn’t in the game. Had I been played
I would have done my best, all that
any man can do. I thank you.”
Barnes said: “Sorry, bullies, tha.
we lost, but we played ball.”
Spake: “Gentlemen, I did my best.
So did the rest.”
Bell: “We played football and they
made a touchdown by one inch.”
Beasley: “We have the best team
in the world, even if we did lose.”
Lambert: “They soon found cur
that they were up against it.”
McDowell: “Lost but not. beaten.
We had them going our way, but an
acicdent befell us. No man in the
world appreciates the spirit you have
shown more than I, and I wish to ex
press for the team their thanks to
you for the way you have upheld us.”
