PROSPECTS FOR TRACK TEAM.
The prospects for a championship
track team next spring are excellent.
Manager Dan Scott called a meeting
of all those interested in track last
week. Almost fifty men responded,
and there were a good manj T more
who were not able to get there that
night who will come out later.
Dudley Everett, the captain of the
team, will be in excellent shape next
spring, as he will be in training all
fall and winter. Collins, Rothe,
Haines, Braumiller, Turner, Mitchell,
MacFadden, Hudson, Fry and Pea
body are back again. The failure of
Cover and Persons to return will hurt
the team, but Coach Clutter will un
doubtedly find some one to take theii
places from the wealth of new mate
rial which we have this year. Among
the freshmen we have De Montell, the
man who beat Kirksey on the hurdles;
Settegast of Houston, who is a
weight man; Butler of Baptist Acad
emy, another weight man; Trant of
Allen, quarter-miler; Starnes of Mar
shall, a sprinter, and Erskine of San
Antonio, quarter and half-miler.
Coach Clutter is very well pleased
with the material he has. He says the
prospects are fine for a winning team.
He is going to put the distance men
to work as soon as the corps takes
its trip, and from then on they will
work steadily until next spring.
Little Stories of College Life
About ten days ago a homeless little
brown and black dog made his appear
ance on the campus. But his lake of a
home and a warm place to sleep at
nights seemed to give him not the
slightest concern, for he frisked about
in his friendly and inquisitive way, fol
lowing anyone who would give him
the least encouragement. This habit
of his caused him to follow someone
to “retreat” the first afternoon he ar
rived and this accident seems to have
developed in him a liking formilita-
ry ceremony for he has never missed
a formation since. When he was first
noticed on the formation ground every
cadet tried to whistle to him at the
same time, and the poor, bewildered
little pup knew not where to go. But
now such trifles agitate his mentality
not in the least, for, indeed, he is as
likely to trot along with the regimen
tal staff when the battalions are set
in motion as he is to stay with some
company.
He trots into the Mess Hall each
evening with a cocksure air, and he is
never allowed to go hungry. How
ever, just to make him yelp and cause
a sensation, a cadet will sometimes
step on his tail, or rather, we should
say, some one will pinch his tail, for
he hardly has enough to step on.
Not long ago some “K” company fel
lows, presumably “fish,” caught this
little, innocent mascot of the corps and
proceeded with shears to decorate
him according to their ideas of beau
ty. In his dipt hair on one side can
now be read the letter “K,” and on the
other “A. M. C.,” “Kike.” And this is
the story of “Kike.”
