One of the most fashionable and
largely attended receptions ever ten
dered in Bryan was given last evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. L,. Mc
lnnis. The affair was given by the
Commercial Club in honor of Presi
dent Bizzell of A. & M. College, offi
cials, faculty and employees.
The wide galleries and cool velvet
awn were beautifully lighted and the
lower floor of the home was thrown
into one spacious reception hall,
where the many guests were present
ed to the honorees of the hour.
Mr. and Mrs. Mclnnis, so charming
and delightful in their beautiful home^
were first to offer greetings and in

Wilkerson, president of Commercial
Club, and Mrs. Wilkerson; President
Bizzell of A. and M. College and Mrs.
Bizzell; Mr. and Mrs. Ousley of Col
lege; Mr. Chas. Puryear, Dean of Col
lege; Lieut. Hill of College; Mr. E. H.

A.; Prof, and Mrs. J. H. Allen of Al

The citizenship of Bryan delights to
welcome such distniguished guests as
those who were presented on this < c-
casion, and the opportunity thus given
to meet the honorable promoters of
the A. and M. College was indeed an
appreciated pleasure. The affair
proved a, brillilant social function and
carried out most admirably the pur
pose of bringing together the people
of A. and M. College and the people
of Bryan.
Harris’ Orchestra was stationed on
the gallery, and the sweet music was
an added pleasure to the hour. Punch
bowls arranged in masses of flowers
on tables were arranged on the lawn,
and during the calling hours the
guests were served to fruit punch and
sandwiches by a bevy of charming
girls.—Bryan Eagle.

A. & M. Wins First Game of Season by score of
31 to 0—Begins to Look Like Former
Days in Football.
Last Friday our football team open
ed the football season In the old-fash
ioned way by snowing Austin College
under by a score of 32 to 0. It sure
did look good to see a regular football
team out on the field again. A. and
M. outclassed Austin College in every
way. Austin put up a clean, game
fight, but they couldn’t hold us. Our
team did a good deal of fumbling, but
that was natural, as it was the first
game of the season.
All the old stars came back strong
er than ever and several new men
starred. Tyree Bell played better
than ever, making long gains every
time he got the ball. He made the
first touchdown of the season. This
is the second time Tyree has done
this. He made the first touchdown in
1912. Johnnie Garrity starred thruout
the game. He blocked several kicks,
carried the ball for gains seveml
times and he received forward pass
es in a manner that reminded all the
old boys of Monty. On one forward
pass he went 20 yards for a touch
down. “Fannie” Coleman’s passes
were perfect and it was due to them
that several of the touchdowns were
made. Everett played his old game
at end and that is something that is
unbeatable. He made several long
gains and did equally well at going
thru the lines and at open field run
ning. Settegast, at tackle, was in ev
ery play. The way he went thru the
line with about five or six men hang
ing onto him caused the old boys to
remark that it looked just like the
“Bowler” lope to them, only it was
faster. Brown was a power in the
back, too, and the way he carried the
ball and busted up Austin’s plays was
excellent. Cawthon played a fine
game at center, but his little stunt
was pulled off when he intercepted
Austin’s forward pass. Scotty ran the
team well and played good football
all the way thru. The rest of the
team played first-class football also
and more will be heard about them
later.
Last, but not least, come the cheer
leaders. In honor of the first game
of the season they all came out dress
ed in the latest creations from Paris.
“Jew” Barraco had on a vest which
must have been one of the latest cre
ations of Gen. Von Kluck. “Runt”
Hansen was wearing a coat made taf
Mexican sil kof a most gorgeous de
sign, which was presented to him by
the rebel leader “Abe” Bull. “Red
wing” Palmer wore one of the n^ew
French hats trimmed with red.
The first quarter opened when A
and M. kicked off. Austin was forced
to kick on the fourth down and our
men blocked the ball. They kicked
again and recovered the ball on a
fumble. Austin kicked again and
Scott returned the ball. On the sec
ond down one of our men fumbled
and Austin got the ball and kicked.
A. and M. then made first down.
Coleman then passed to Garrity for 20
yards. Score 0-0.
In the second quarter Burns took
Scott’s place at quarter. Settegast
made ten yards and a first down.
Brown then carried the ball for 5
yards. Austin got the ball on downs
and A. 5 M. was penalized for off
side. Cawthon intercepted Austin’s
forward pass. Bell then made the
first touchdown but failed to kick the
goal. A. and M. again kicked off and
Garrity recovered the ball on a fum
ble. Settegast carried the ball for
first down. Austin was then penaliz
ed for off-side. Bell then made tlm
second touchdown and Everett kicked
the goal. A. and M. kicked off. Aus
tin kicked back and Cawthon returned
the ball. A little later Colemon pass
ed to Garrity for 30 yards and a touch
down. Burns kicked the goal. Score,
20-0.
In the third quarter Spencer took
Cawthon’s place. DeLong replaced
Dickie, Fermier replaced Everett, De-
Montel replaced Bell and Faber re
placed Eschenburg. Austin kicked
off. Burns tried a drop kick twice,
but failed. The quarter ended when
A. and M. got the ball on a fumble.
In the fourth quarter Everett made
a touchdown after a series of start
ling ends runs. We failed to kick the
goal. Austin kicked off. A. and M
nade first down. Settegast and Ever
ett each took the ball for 20 yards. A
and M: fumbled the ball on the 5-
yard line. Tyree intercepted a for-
word pass and made about 15 yards.
A. and M. then advanced the ball to
the 5- yard line again and Scott car
ried the ball over. No goal. A. and
M. kicked off. Austin returned the
kick and then the game was over.
Score 32-0.
