SOPH. HTHLETICS Some of the best athletics that this college has ever had left last year “on the strike,” and a number of them •were members of the class of 1916. Although we did lose most of our athletes last year, the Sophomore class is very well represented on the different athletic teams this year, not only in numbers but in ability. Football. Our class did not have very many men on the football squad this last fall, but the ones that we had were easily stars. “Nick” Braumiller demonstrated his prowess in the company league last year, where he was chosen as all company halfback. This year Coach Moran played him at tackle. He was the strongest man on the line, but was used mostly to back up the line, on account of his splendid work on the defense. \ Johnny Garrity showed his ability in the Thanksgiving game in Houston, ■where he was the star. Although he .was small compared to the large ■ Louisiana men, he was always on the . job when the play came his way. He ' played quarter most of the season, and • showed up very well there, but the team was weak on the ends, so Coach [ shifted Johnny to end. The way he [[grabbed the forward passes made the ^grandstands sit up and take notice, j. The class of 1916 has only two “T” :[men in football, but there is a great • deal of promising material which will [ show up next year. The all-company [[football team was composed mostly of [•Sophomores, a fact which shows that • next year the T6 class will be well j[ represented. Basketball. This game started at the college when we were Fish, and some of the best players, both last year and this j-ear, were ’16 men. Nick Braumiller again heads the list. He was the largest and most aggres sive player on the team, and played at center, where he featured in every game. He was acknowledged by his opponents to be the hardest man to guard that they had played against. “Runt” Hanson showed what he could do in the company league, and it wasn’t long before he was doing things up on the squad. Runt won his fame in the Huntsville game. “Apples” Rogers could always be re lied upon. He was one of the strong est guards on the squad. There weren’t many baskets thrown by the other side while Rogers was around, and he was always “there.” Walter Braumiller was not out on the squad until late this year, but when he came he made others hustle. When he got the ball you could count for a basket nearly every time. Track. Our class is very well represented on the track this year. In fact, there are more men from the Sophomore class on the squad than there are from any other class. We are proud to say that it was mainly due to the 1916 men on the track team that A. & M. won the silver loving cup for second place in the meet held at Dallas in February. Cover is one of the best 440 men in the State. However, in the meet he took first place in the half mile. He was a big gainer in the relay race. Jones is another very fast man. He also showed up well in the meet, win ning second place in the 440. Collins is showing up well in the sprints. He was high man in Dallas carrying off two seconds; one in the 100 and the other in the 220-yard dash. Nick Braumiller shows up again in working with the weights. He won second place in the discus hurl in Dal las, where he was beaten by only two or three inches. McFadden is a good man in the dis tance runs. Tie captured second place in the two-mile race in Dallas. Rothe is the only man that is show ing up in the jumps. He won second place in the pole vault and third in the broad jump at the meet. Baseball. It is hard to pick the coming base ball men, but quite a few ’16 men are showing up well. Russell is holding his own again be hind the bat this year. He proved his ability last year, and is doing mighty well. Beringer is covering second base, and fields that territory in “old style.” Olsen is showing up well on the pitching staff, as well as is Groom on .second base. MODERN. • “Where are you going, my pretty maid?” “I’m going a-tangoing, sir,” she said. “May I go with you, my pretty maid?” “You’re kindly welcome, sir,” she said. “What’s your father, my pretty maid?” “My father’s a zero, sir,” she said. “Say, will you marry me, my pretty maid?” “Yes, for a time, kind sir,” she said. “What is your fortune, my pretty maid?” “My heels are my fortune, sir,” she said. “Then I won’t marry you, my pretty maid.” “I have plenty of partners, kind sir,” she said. —Life.
