All those interested in the work of the Press Club will be glad to read the following letter from the presi dent of the Texas Intercolegiate Press Association. That the possibility of A. and M.’s joining this association is much de sired is shown by the fact that since the announcement of the possibility of our joining the association there has been a flood of applications to the editor of The Battalion for a placed on the staff. Membership in this association and the possession of the pin are great honors, but to obtain them one must work and make The Battalion a bet ter paper: Denton, Texas, Nov. 11, 1912. .Mr. James F. Brown, College Station, Texas. Dear Sir—I am writing to you, as representative of the staff of The Bat talion, in behalf of the Texas Inter collegiate Press Association, wishing to present a very important question for the consideration of yourself" and staff. It is that I am very anxious for A. and M. College to join this Inter collegiate Press Association, and I speak for each college in it when I say that A. and M. College would in deed be cordially welcomed to mem bership. I am sending you a copy of the Texas Intercollegian, which contains a copy of the constitution and by laws of the association. From this publication can be gained almost all the information which you will need in your consideration of the question of joining. It is C. I. A.’s privilege this year to entertain the convention of the as sociation and it would add greatly to her prestige if through her instru mentality an institution of the stand ing of A. and M. College should be admitted to membership. C. I. A. has received great benefit from her membership, not only in help for the magazine, the Daedalian Monthly, but in the raising of our col lege in the estimation of other insti tutions of learning throughout the state. As to the financial side, the expense to each college is $10.00 membership fees and the payment of all or half of the traveling expenses of dele gates.. We have always paid half of our delegates’ expenses. I shall be more than glad to advise you further on any question which may come up in your discussion, and repeat that the whole association will be glad of a favorable reply from your college. Very sincerely yours, Margaret F. Sackville, President Texas Intercolegiate Press Association. A. AND M.'S FOOTBALL MACHINE. The Houston Post’s write-up of the football game Monday between A. and M. and Oklahoma looked like it might have been written by an Oklahoma rooter, it was so partial to the Okla- homer team. It credited A. and M.’s victory entirely to the ponderous weight of the Farmers, and one who was not acquainted with the facts would think it was a contest of brute beef on one side and cat-like nimble ness and pure and unadulterated skill on the other. Before closing the Post acknowledged, however, that nfiuch of A. and M.’s success was due to its successful forward passes. Now who in the Sam Hill is there that does not know that a light team can make a forward pass just as easily as a heavy one, provided they know how? The truth of the matter is, A. and M. has a football machine capable of standing as firm in a pinch as Stone wall Jackson’s men did at the battle of Manassas, of going through the line like money through a spendthrift’s fingers, of going around the ends like a cat squirrel up a sycamore limb, or of kicking the ball from hell to Little Rock. A. and M. has a right to have heavy men on its team if it can get them, and kids who do not want the mush mashed out of them had better keep from in front of them.—Bryan Eagle. The debating clubs, which started out with such momentum and had such brilliant prospects, seem to be going the way of the Milner Debating Club. The only club which had enough get up to have the debate last Friday was the C. E.-A. E. club. This club elected officers, and had a most interesting debate. The bughunters adjourned as well as the E. E.-M. E.- T. E.’s. The bughunters subsequent ly held their meeting, but the E. E.- M. E.-T. E.’s have not succeeded in getting together. What’s the matter? What would we not give for some thing that would make us work when we don’t want to? The question is, “Where did Lieu tenant Brown get all his ‘pip’ at the football game?’’ OPEN STOCK CHINA FIVE PATTERNS OF HAVILAND also BASSETS Special orders for Initial or Monogram Sets IVANH0E and PILGRIM Plated Ware Guaranted Satisfactory 300 Patterns of Pocket Cutlery To Choose From Safety Razors, Strops, Brushes Cole’s Famous Hot Blast Heater Jewell and Majestic Stoves and Ranges Parker-Astin Hdw.
