NEW COLLEGE
LINE
J For Young Men
Never before in the history of clothes-making have the well-dressed young men
of this community been offered better clothes, livelier styles, more new and
snappier features than we are now offering in the new College line, created by
Hart, Schaffner & Ma*~x, special designers of young men’s clothes.
These models are expressly for young men; the fabrics specially chosen for young men; and many new features have
been added which will please the critical young college and high school fellows; and dressy young business men. Fine
ready made clothes like these are now the standard of quality in men's wear; no tailor can touch them under double the
price. Be sure you see these before you buy.

REGIMENT IN PARADE
Corps in Column of Platoons Escort
King Nottoc XIV.
In accordance with the agreement
made with the No-Tsu-Oh Carnival
Association, the entire corps was
present to act as official escort to
King Nottoc XIV in his majesty’s pa
rade through the streets of Houston.
The tw r o special trains carrying the
regiment to Houston arrived on time
and each battalion moved off prompt
ly to its assigned place. There was
no long and tiresome wait, as there
has been in past years, for the arrival
of the king. The parade moved off
promptly down Main street, which
Avas thronged with thousands of ap
preciative people, making a veritable
wall of humanity on both sides. Pretty
girls were evrywhere. The windows of
every office building fairly teemed
with them, and it was no uncommon
occurrence to see as many as six in
one window. For one to keep his head
straight to the front under such try
ing conditions was a downright hard
ship, to put it lightly.
The cannoneers brought up the
rear in automobiles carrying their
large banner and trying hard to make
up for the seeming indifference of
their unfortunate brothers in the in
fantry toward the fair sex.
After the parade, arms were stacked
on the ground floor of the new South
ern Pacific office building, and all hied
themselves to the various restaurants
to satisfy their inner cravings before
going to the game.
UTAY ISSUES STATEMENT
TO NO-TSU-OH PEOPLE
A. and M. Will Not Be Candidate
Carnival Date Next
Season.
AN HONOR TO MONTGOMERY.
In a conference between Captain
Bell of the A. and M. football team
and Moise, Referee Moise is said to
have told Captain Bell that he has
seen all the big games in the South
this year and refereed in most of
them, and that he has seen no end
that could compete with Montgomery,
and that he was going to see each
coach of the Southern teams sepa
rately and get them to give the honor
of being an All-Southern end to Mont
gomery.
Joe Utay, graduate manager of the
A. and M. team, issued the following
statement after the game: “I want to
take this opportunity of expressing
my thanks to the directors of the car
nival association for all the favors
they have shown the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. We appreciate
their action in giving us the football
game on the opening date and also
such assistance as they have given in
staging the game.
“It is not the intention of the A.
and M. management to ask for a foot
ball game at the carnival in 1913.
There are two reasons for this posi
tion: First, the carnival association
favored A. and M. this year by giving
us the game on the opening day, when
the University was bidding eagerly
for the same date. Since we had the
best end of the trade this year we
feel that we should not embarrass the
carnival directors by forcing them
again into the delicate situation in
which they were placed last January.
Again, we have no right to expect,
and we do not expect, that we could
he favored with the opening date per
manently, and we do not think that
the follow-up game would be very sat
isfactory. Hence, it seems best for us
to simply step down and out and thus
simplify matters for all concerned.
“My second reason for thinking the
A. and M. will not seek the 1913 car
nival date is that the financial impor
tance of this game is greatly over
estimated. While the crowd today was
splendid, the expense of staging the
game is quite large and the division
of the net income leaves a very mod
est amount for the team. I do not
know of another big game in the
world where the athletic association,
which goes to all the expense of hiring
coaches and maintaining and equip
ping a team, is required to share the
proceds equally with another organi
zation which does not, and in the very
nature of things can not, make any
thing like an equal contribution to the
successful staging of the game.”—
