THOSE TANGLING FORMULAS.
AUSTIN COLLEGE LOSES TO
A. & M.
In a game featured by numerous
singles and a few long hits, A. & M.
beat Chester Johnson’s aggregation
from Austin College by the unbalanced
score of 10-3.
The game started off real bright for
A. & M. when Captain Parr, the lead-
off man, reached first as a result of a
wild pitch which struck him on the
“bad” ankle. He stole second and
then third, from which place he was
brought home on an infield ball hit
by Fatty MacCollum. This seemed
to start the game off for the Aggies.
A batting rally started and eight of
the Farmers took their turn with the
willow before the Austin College
bunch was able to stop the onslaught.
The hitting of the A. & M. team was
rather steady. The hitting stars of
the game were Captain Parr, who
batted a thousand, getting three
bingles out of as many trips, on one
of which he was thrown out while try
ing to make it good for three sacks;
Powers, a young Freshman, playing
in center field, was making the pitcher
come across the plate and when the
latter did this he would smash the ball
unmercifully. He got three hits out of
five trials. Biggers surprised every
body by getting three bingles to his
credit, while Smitham, McCollum,
Cherry, Grume, Russel and even Skee-
ler did things that made their batting
averages creep to the upper end The
hits of the Austin bunch were scatter
ed except in the sixth inning, when
they got to Little Skeeler for three
pulls, which resulted in as many runs.
Skeeler pitched a real nice game
and at all times seemed to be master
of the situation. It seemed as though
his opponents could not get onto his
stuff in an effective manner. Skeeler
has the making of a good pitcher. He
has curves that have never before
been shown by a college player on
Kyle Field. He is a strong young
chap, with lots of smoke and control.
The only thing that keeps him from
showing up all his opponents is the
fact that he does not lend an ear to
the proper advice. As soon as he gets
over this Charley will have in his pos
session the classiest college pitcher in
the Texas Association.
The second game proved to be more
interesting than the first on account of
the fact that Williams, who had been
on the mound the day before and again
did the twirling in this game, possess
ed better command of himself. He
pitched a splendid game and held the
Aggies to a two-two tie, up to the end
of the sixth inning. The game was
featured by hard hitting, which was
prevented from being effective on ac
count of the fact that the fielding was
excellent. Time and again the bases
were loaded, and through excellent
fielding on both sides the score was
kept in its infancy. In the latter part
of the sixth inning, with two men on
bases, women and children crying,
while Charley was spitting tobacco all
over the bench, young Powers hit clean
for two bases and broke up the game
for Austin. The game ended 5 to 2 in
favor of the Aggies. Young Olson had
the mound for A. & M. and pitched a
nice, clever game. His control was
perfect and his curves were puzzling.
The entire team showed class, and if
they will show that kind of stuff on the
trip next week, there will be cere
mony on the campus of the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College.
JUNIOR PROM.
One of the most enjoyable events
of the year, so far as the Juniors are
concerned, was the second Junior hop
of last Wednesday evening. A num
ber of young ladies, many of them
from out of the State, were visiting
College, and consequently there were
more couples than is usual at a class
dance.
When the grand march, led by Mr,
P W. Clarkson and Miss Madaline
Hanway, started at 9 o’clock a large
crowd was seated around the gym.
to view the many beautiful costumes
of the visiting and Campus young la
dies. The cadets wore full dress uni
form, removing their military blouses
before the first dance.
We were fortunate in having Mr.
Smilie obtain for us the Bryan or
chestra, and the excellent selection of
music for each dance was appreciated
by all. The floor was in ideal condi-
tion^ due to the unceasing efforts of
Mr. Greene. Many compliments were
also received by Mr. Stangel on the
very unique and well arranged little
programs.
Mesdames C. B. Moran, J B. Bagley,
Chas. A. Felker, J. W. Ridgeway^ Levi
G Brown and E. J. Kyle favored us as
chaperones.
There came a young lady from
Crockett .whose skirts were slit up to
her locket; she went out to the fair,
and the women out there did jointly
and severally knock it. And then the
young lady from Crockett, drew a pis
tol from out of her pocket, she sobbed
and she cried, and she tried and she
tried, but was wholly unable to cock
it. At last a cow boy from Konx City
was moved by a masculine pity— with
pretense to assist her he up and he
kissed her, and called her his Itty- ca-
zittie. At once her blue eyes began
flashing and promptly her white teeth
were gnashing—she said, “You low
churl 5 I am not that kind of a girl!”
and had him arrested for mashing.—

A Question of Goods
and Service
When you wish to make a purchase from a Jewelry Store, Re
member Caldwell has the largest, cleanest and most up-to-date stock
within a hundred miles around, from which you can make your selec-
tion^ knowing that when you do so, you take no chance. This means
much, especially when buying Jewelry or Precious Stones.
Why not bring us your repair work? Service the best that can
be had. Your work back in half the time—it’s done right, too, and
costs you no more. Glasses fitted by an expert. Glasses that will re
lieve eye-strain^ headaches and make the day’s work a pleasure. Would
you wear a pair of glasses if they did this and at the same time were
comfortable and becoming? All these things we can do. Think it
over.
