The Battalion has an apology to
make to its readers for the non-
appearance last week of a number of
important news items, especially the
account of Cadet Sergeant W. B
Schiller’s death and funeral. This
failure to print the news was not the
fault of the editorial staff, the cops’
for the press being mislaid between
College and the printing office.
The music in the chapel Sunday
was fine, and was appreciated by the
whole corps. The lecture delivered by
Mr. Steger was both interesting and
instructive. Such lectures and music
would increase the cadets’ interest in
the chapel service, and we hope to
have more of both in the future.
M. E. SOCIETY.
Design for Pin Selected at Meeting
November 26.
At a special meeting of the M. E.
Society held Tuesday, November 26,
a design for a club pin was submitted
by R. O. Anderson, president of the
pin committee. The design is very
artistic and appropriate, and pleased
all the members of the club. Several
of the details caused a little bit of
discussion, but the general shape
suited everyone. After the details had
been agreed upon the design was given
to D. T. Stevens for an estimate and
sample.
The pin question was the only busi
ness before the house, and after that
had been settled the meeting ad
journed.
Entered as second-class matter at
College Station, Texas, February 17,
1905.
Price Per Annum $1.25
College Station, Texas, Dec. 6, 1912.
Mr. B. Sbisa and his staff deserve
great credit for the success of the
Thanksgiving dinenr, and on behalf
of the corps of cadets we take this
privilege of tendering same. Here’s
wishing that the “good work” keeps
up.
TEXAS WINS SEVENTH
PLACE AT INTERNATIONAL
A telegram from Professor J. C.
Burns shows the standing in the In
ternational stock judging contest at
Chicago to be as follows:
First, Iowa; second, Kansas; third,
Missouri; fourth, Ohio; fifth, Ne
braska; sixth, Ontario; seventh,
Texas; eighth, Kentucky; ninth, Man
itoba; tenth, Arkansas; eleventh,
Nevada; twelfth, Pennsylvania.
While this is not an exceedingly
brilliant placing for Texas, still it is
near enough to the front to maintain
prominence. It at least affords satis
faction to notice that Texas stood first
among the Southern teams.

W. C. BOYETT
CAMPUS MERCHANT
Who’s that wild-eyed lunatic, with
oodles of “confeedience” and lots of
“pip,” who sits on the bleachers in
rain or shine and watches the strug
gle with an air sublime? Who can
scarcely wait for the whistle to blow,
that puts Ves into motion and the
team on the go, now crouches, now
gasps, and now shoots in the air,
when behind the goal he has seen
Monty tear? Who mumbles and
groans in utter dismay, when the low
setting sun marks the close of the
day, and the red-jersied warriors go
down in defeat, the bunch that he
thought the world coud not beat?
Who sweats and swears and pushes
his neighbor, gives the stiff arm jab
like a Turk with a saber, plays a
thousand times harder-than the men
on the field, and does never a
point to the enemy yield? Who re
lates it by day and dreams it by
night, plays it twenty times over with
fiendish delight, and can easily show
by comparative scores, we could down
without effort the great Commodores'?
Who stands on the kale in a class
supreme, a new species of which Sir
Charles did not dream, the defender,
the follower of the men in tan? Ye
loyal A. and M. football fan.
