NUMBER 25
Team On Road
Started Off Well.
Took Both Games Easily From the
Christians at Fort
Worth.
Excellent team work, hard hitting
and fast base running were the chief
factors of the two victories at Fort
Worth. Higginbotham and Miller were
in fine form.
Eleven Farmers went to the bat in
the second inning of the first game,
getting six hits and seven runs. Dan
iels of T. C. U. connected with one of
Higg’s fade-aw r ays in the seventh, get
ting their only score of the first game.
The features of the second game
were spectacular catches by Jack Wat
kins and little “Baby” Collins and a
three-sacker by McConnell of T. C. TJ.
The catches were in the eighth and
retired T. C. U.’s best hatters—Camp
bell and Daniels. In the seventh Gris
som scored from first base on a single
by Morrison, making the score 2 to 2.
The club rode to the grounds in cars
provided by “Pete” Saunders, and each
wore a red carnation from the same
“Pete.”

the Farmers. Although we made more
than twice the combined score of our
opponents, there were no records en

Hambert and Bowler on the discus,

Simply another Jack Watkins stunt.

ceives Much Hospitality.
The High School Track Meet was a
success in every way except finan
cially. The “preps” strove hard and
put up noble contests at all stages.
When “Dindy” announced just before
the relay race that Fort Worth and
Beaumont were tied with 31 points
each, the tension reached its highest.
The “Beaumonters” were counting on
Maxson to bring in the winning points,
but in the second lap Foster gained
a lead for Fort Worth that even the
fast Maxson could not recover in
spite of that he ran the prettiest race
of the entire meet.
Some of the side events were the
daring hold-ups perpetrated by a band
of robbers who called themselves the
“Whitecaps.” The Whitecap organiza
tion was apparently a popular one, by
the frequency with which members
were taken in. No quarter was shown.
Captain Fenton being the first taken in,
and cadets; profs, Bryan business men
and visirors following. The noticeable

The Final Standing.
The standing of towns was as fol
lows :
Fort Worth, 36; Beaumont, 34;
Orange, Sj^Rogers, 5; Texarkana, 14;
Sherman, 1-2; Brownwood, 9; Haskell,
1; Roby, 2; Temple, 4; Marlin, 16;
Dallas, 4 1-2; San Marcos, 1.
Maxson of Beaumont has the largest
individual score—21; Braumiller of
Texarkana second, with 11, and Sharp
of Fort Worth, 10.
The following records break the
state interscholastic marks: Tucker
of Fort Worth, in 220-yard hurdle;
Nettles of Marlin, the high jump, with
5 feet 9 inches; Sharp of Fort Worth,
the broad jump, with 21 feet 8 inches;
and the mile relay race by Fort Worth
in 3:48 3-5.
Other state records broken were the
The boys reached Waxahachie on
Monday morning. They were met at
the train by some loyal old A. & M.
men whose love for their school has
not yet died. Owing to the fact that
the hotel at Waxahachie had burnt
down some time ago, the boys were
fortunate in being able to put up with
private families. If it had not been
for the popularity of the Farmer
alumni at this place the boys would
probably have had a difficult time in
finding a place to “bunk.” The boys
stayed with three different families
and w r ere treated as royally as though
they were honored guests. It is sel
dom that a team goes to another place
and meet with the treatment that the
A. & M. boys met with at Waxahachie.
Everybody tried as hard as possible
to ma,ke the boys feel that they were
wanted in that town and that the peo- ”
pie there were at the service of those
who needed it at any time. “Meni”
Culberson did all he could in showing
th£* boys over the city. rte
a half dozen of tubes by running his
Rambler around with a crowd of ca
dets in it. The girls could not do
enough for the A. & M. boys. It went
so far that they had “Fish” Skeeler
compeltely paralyzed.
The first game was a real easy one
for A. & M. The boys remembered
Avhat Trinity had done to them two
years ago and went out on the field
with the determination to win. Every
one of them played hard ball all
through the game. The feature of the
game was the fielding of Wathen and
the long throw made by Vesmirovsky.
The way the boys clouted that apple
the first day was a shame. They
knocked the first pitcher out of the
box in four innings and then took the
rest out of McElree, who relieved him.
The game ended in a score of 23 to 0
in favor of our bunch. After the boys
had made their twenty-three runs they
decided not to make any more because
it would look better to have a re
minder of the Houston game of ’09.
