A valuable lesson for every Agricultural student to know, is that AVERY’S

big farm undertakings AVERY’S implements are invariably used. Taft’s ranch

THE A. AND M.-VARSITY SITUA
TION AS SEEN BY ONE OF
OUR ALUMNI.
The recent demands of the Univer
sity alumni for a post-season game
with A. and M. causes us to consider
the reasons which make such a
game an impossibility at the present
time. Chief among these reasons is
the bitterness of feeling that exists
between the adherents of the two in
stitutions, and this bitterness mainly
originated with and is now kept alive
by the Varsity alumni. The writer
has lately had opportunity to learn
first hand some very interesting facts
in this connection. Even the children
of University people are taught from
infancy to believe nothing good of
A. and M. They have instilled into
them the same spirit of intolerance
that caused our Christian (?) ances
tors to massacre each other on ac
count of religious differences.
The great majority of the people at
the University are not to blame for
these conditions. The trouble lies in
the fact that they do not understand
the A. and M. College. All they hear j
and say about us is evil, so it is not
to be wondered at that they actually
believe the things they hear; for it
is a well known fact that one can tell
what he knows to be untrue a few
times and it becomes truth to himself,
to say nothing of his hearers. This
accounts for some of the weird tales
circulated in Austin about our team
and our coach, who we know to be the
best in the South. Why, if we be
lieved the things about the University
that they claim to believe about us,
we would petition the Governor to
call out the militia and put an end
to such a den of iniquity; and would
add as a special request that the
corps of cadets be assigned to that
duty.
It is but natural that w r e should re
sent the accusations that are so false
ly made against our student body, our
team, and our coach; for I am sure
that in all these United States there
is not a school with more college
spirit or whose alumni are more loyal
to their alma mater.
The best Texas can produce in the
way of young men and young women
make up the student body of the Uni
versity; and though deprived of the
refining influence of the “fair co-eds,’’
we, too, are of the same stock. Each
school has its own sphere of useful
ness which does not encroach upon
the other, and Texas, the greatest
state in the Union, certainly has room
for these two institutions, which
should be made the best of their
kind in the world. Therefore, why
this jealousy? Let there be animated
rivalry on gridiron, diamond, and cin
der track, yes; but may we soon see
an end to the present feeling, the
bitterness of which is equalled only
in civil war.

“Mr. Kendricks, what course is your
son Jim taking at A. and M.?”
“Why, I think he’s taking a course
in football.”
