/ 1 Gridiron Dust i. ^ A. and M. has piled up a total of 303 scores against her opponents’ 13. McArthur is developing into a great player. He played a fine game in the backfield against Tulane. Coach Mason is certainly a fine fel low, and has a bunch of players that correspond to him. Mississippi A. and M. can boast of being the first one to cross our goal line this season. And she did not get the touchdown by hard line bucks, but on a measly fumble. We see where Courtwright of Okla homa University again did great work. In a recent game with Oklahoma A. and M. for the state championship he kicked three field goals. Okla homa won the game, 17 to 0. Our hardest game will be this after noon with the Kansas Aggies. They have a strong team, which will make the game a hard fought one. A great crowd is expected. On Thanksgiving Day A. and M. plays Baylor at Dallas. It will £>e no trouble for us to defeat the Baptists and receive the state championship, too. If there was any way to get a game with Vanderbilt, A. and M. would be Southern, Southwest and state cham pions. Why not play Harvard and Yale? There is no use to tell our coach how much we are indebted to him for giving us such a grand team. Web ster is dead, and the words in his old dictionary are not good enough. Monte could beat a whole team by himself if he had Beasley to make the passes to him. The appearance of Vesmirovsky on the field once more was a pleasant sight. He played a fine game. And his punting was of the extraordinary variety. Lambert had the misfortune to get his nose broken in the game with Mis sissippi A. aod M. And it didn’t stop him from his great line work, either. It is indeed unusual to see Bowler occupy a box seat. It is very doubt ful whether we will see him again on the field this year. Everett played a fine game Tues day against Tulane. HuzHuh. \ j Who’s that great big son-of-a-gun, with legs like a bear and a neck like a Hun, who stands in the line like a mountain huge, and carries the ball like a demon enthused? Who stoops over there all rearing to go, and awaits Bobbie’s signal, nerves tense and aglow, and then comes around on that tackle o’er tackle, sets tihe bleachers on fire and the fair ones to cackle?—and now small boys get out of the way or you’ll see more light than the light of day—for here comes the Steam Roller steady and true, needs no interference but plenty of room—feet flying like sparks from a comet’s tail, and arms working fast like cranks on the Fast Mail. Who is this big mutt, weighs tw r o hundred and ten, is reliable and heady and as sure as Big Ben? Who has jolly good nature writ o’er his whole face, while for grit and true courage, just give him first place? Today we play Kan sas, let’s pray we can hold ’er, but OH what can we do without mighty Sam Bowler? (A. M.) (With apologies to Carey.) THE M. E. SOCIETY. The second meeting of the M. E. Society was held Saturday night, No vember 16. After the meeting had been called to order by the president, the minutes of the preceding meeting were read. The business of the meet ing was light, consisting only of the pin proposition. After discussions by Anderson, Professor Fermi er, and Nussbaum, a vote was taken, and it was unanimously decided that the so ciety should have a pin. A motion that the president should appoint a committee of three to select or de sign several different pins was made and carried. The president appointed Anderson, Torrence and Herrington for this committee. An address was delivered by Pro fessor Fermier, in which he explained several important things in the study of mechanics of materials, and also showed and explained the results of an interesting experiment on the strength of steel, which he had made. He urged the members to make the meetings as profitable as possible by preparing well the parts which they have been requested to bring up. After the speech by Professor Fer mier the society adjourned. The present indications are that the society will be better this year than ever before. A. AND M. BOYS AT WEST POINT.

A Bird-Woman's-Eye View. The aviator’s wife was taking her first trip with her husband in his air ship. “Wait a minute, George,” she said. “I’m afraid we will have to go down again.” “What’s wrong?” asked the hus band. “I believe I have dropped one of the pearl buttons off my jacket. I think I can see it glistening on the ground.” “Keep your seat, my dear,” said the aviator, “that’s Lake Erie.”—Youngs town Telegram.
