More than a dozen "fish” have been training under Coach De- Tray and several of them promise to make good and add laurels to the team. G. D. Everett from Dallas High School, a Sophomore “fish,” who won first place in the hurdles at the High School Track Meet here last year, promises to do stunts with the sticks this year. J. M. Turner of St. Louis is here with a trunk full of St. Louis Pligh School League records on the quarter and half-mile and also on the broad jump. He is going to give the next fellow a run for his money in all three of those events. Gay Hudson of Celeste is running one mile and there is no denying that, for he is right there from start to finish. Rothe, from Marshall Training School, is out for pole vault and jumps; Fendly, from Ball High School, Galveston, is out for the same entries. Fritter, from St. Edward’s College, is making fine time on sprints. Charley Eagleston, brother of the famous “Polly,” is a promising sprinter. Others who are out for places on the team are Kreneck, a good sprinter; R. R. Allen and the’ two Forakers. all three for the mile run. Most of these have had previous ex perience on the track and under Coach DeTray’s expert coaching can be de pended on to well represent the Maroon and White. Basketbal I. ' Fish” that are taking part in bas ketball are Storey, Everett, Eagleston, Morrison, Breaumiller and Ellsworth. Ask Prof. Redick what became of the three dollars he loaned to “Fish” Griffin. W. WINGATE GREEN. W. Wingate Green of Company H is one of the most industrious Fresh men at A. & M., in that he works five hours or more each day and prepares well his lessons. Green came here from the Bay City High School with the determination of making his own way through college, and he is doing it with credit to himself. He has in deed bright prospects of some day be coming one of the most prominent agriculturists in Texas. Fish Collings and Fish Applebaum represent the two extremes—Collings weighs 290 and Applebaum 90 pounds. They are good examples of the “before and after.” As springtime approaches it is not uncommon to see, on Sunday after noons, a bevy of girls strolling through the campus. Some of the boys make successful advances while others re ceive the cold shoulder. THE FRESHMAN ISSUE COKTIHUED FROfl PAGE 1 K. Mason, W. C. Glaze, and others who contributed articles for publication. The business manager wishes to thank all those who contributed toward the fund for financing the issue, and sin cerely hopes that those who did not help—a small minority—will feel that we have executed our work in such a way as to deserve their aid in the future. Especial thanks are given to the cadet in each company who so kindly assisted in collecting the assess ment for the Freshman issue. Last, but not least, we desire to thank the Bryan and College merchants w T ho bought the advertising space. We trust that the Freshmen of A. & M. will, by the ads, see who is interested in the 1915 class and patronize those who have helped us. We have done our best and submit herewith the first issue of The Bat talion gotten up by the class of ’15. THE STAFF. GEORGE W. BARNES. George W. Barnes of Corpus Christi, who graduated from A. & M. in 1911 and took post-graduate work here dur ing the fall and winter terms, left last week for Ames, Iowa, where he will take up special work in the famous Iowa Agricultural School. “Big” Barnes will take up advanced work in dairying, along which line he special ized while here. Barnes will be missed from the campus, and though gone, he will not be forgotten by his many friends here. TOO TAME. 1 In glancing over the Freshman issue of The Texan, the Texas University publication, we ran across something that was indeed amusing. It was a whole column devoted to suggestions on purging their yells, following a res olution of the Woman’s Council. Here, is what’s left of two of their yells after having gone through the process of evacualation: U. of T.! U. of T.! Ain’t we the cutest Things that that be? Don’t be rough, boys. Don’t be rough. Old A. & M. is rough enough. You men of T. Should' always be Personified gentility. This is simplified simplicity. Evi dently these were coined by some little girl from the grammar school. No wonder those Varsity guj'S haven’t much “pep.” Bughunter—Why do they put the steam radiators in front of the win dows in the dormitories? Engineer—So that the cold wind may come through the window and keep the radiators from getting too hot.
