NOTES State Y. M. C. A. Convention. It is a long time until February, but when the calendar shows that Father Time has put behind him about four months of passing days, the program of the Texas Y. M. C. A. State Convention shall have been begun on our College campus. It will indeed be an epochial experience to our friends from various colleges, city and railroad associations, when they come to College Station to take part in the convention program, Feb ruary 19-22, 1915. The State Conven tion has been invited to hold the an nual convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association on the College campus. Perhaps for the first time in the history of the College there will be a large number of representa tives from the various associations of the State come together for a great conference under the leadership of the ablest men in the entire country. The A. & M. College is to be congratulated upon the acceptance of the State Committee to hold this convention here in February. There is no doubt in the minds of those who know that the results of this convention will be great in our own student body as it will be in all of the student centers of the State. Sunday Night Service. Prof. R. O. Allen of Allen Academy, Bryan, was the scheduled speaker for last Sunday night. On account of the threatening storm and poor car service he was unable to fill the en gagement. An interesting meeting was held, however, because the students joined in with the Y. M. C. A. secretary in a questionaire. Mr. Steger had prepared an origi nal map of Palestine, showing the present location of towns and cities. Having visited all of the important towns and many of the rural communi ties of Palestine, the secretary was able to answer many of the pointed questions concerning the topography and general appearance of the coun try. A discussion of the mountains, bodies of fresh and the salt water of the Dead Sea, important buildings, such as the Mosque of Omar, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Church of the Nativity, the Ruins of Samaria and Capernaeum and the collosal remains of the Baalbeck ruins were the main joints of interest. Prof. Redlick favored the audience with a solo sung in the German lan guage. A Social Expert at College. Dr. A. M. Trawick of Nashville, Tenn., has been a visitor on the cam pus for several days. Under the di rection of the International Commit tee of the Young Men’s Christian As sociation, Dr. Trawick has been serv ing the South in the capacity of a social secretai y. His wide experience in making social and economic ser- veys in Southern rural districts, towns and cities admirably fits him for work among the colleges and universities of the country. h Dr. Trawiwck addressed the stu dents who are taking work in econom ics under Dr. Kibler upon the subject of “The Country Movement.” He al so had meetings with several commit tees of the Y. M. C. A. On Wednes day night a stereopticon lecture was given in the chapel by the doctor on “Negro Life in the South.” To say that this lecture was interesting is putting it mildly. The speaker’s inti mate knowledge of the subject and the splendid views made this lecture very enjoyable. Dr. Trawick was a welcome visitor on the campus. Rev. Glenn Flinn of Bryan will be at College next Sunday morning to conduct the chapel services. Rev. Flinn has always taken a keen interest in college affairs, and understands college men. The committete on Bible class mem berships reports that there are 325 men enrolled for work this year. This is almost half of the corps, but it is not a large per cent compared to the enrollment in some of our sister col leges in the State. About 165 of those who are enrolled attend Sun day school, while the remainder at tend classes in the dormitories. “Making a Man” might be called the text of last Sunday’s sermon. Rev F. . Jewett of our Capital City treated the subject in a masterly way. Especially did he appeal to college men, because of his comprehensive knowledge of their views and atti tudes on many of our social and moral questions. A. & M. AND T. U. HOLD LOVE FEAST (Continued From Page 1.) ble relations with A. & M. College and a resumption of the yearly athletic costests were voted for by the stu dents of the University at the rally last night. The question was put by Dean T. U. Taylor of the engineering department, after a rousing rally speech asd a statement of his own po sition. “So far as I am concerned,” said the dean at the conclusion of his speech. “I think it impossible for athletics to develop without a great rival. Agri cultural and Mechanical has stretched forth the olive branch, and I believe we will be recreant if we do not seige upon this opportunity to renew ami cable relations. Games must be scheduled not later than next year. This is how I feel about it, and I want to know how you feel.

The yell leader led fifteen rahs for A. & M., strange sounds at a Varsity raly. The “olive branch” to which the dean referred was a telegram from Yell Leadedr W. K. Hanson of A. & M., which read: “H. Leslie Jones, Yell Leader of the University of Texas: Faculty de cided today that cadets not going to Dallas until 31. Intentions were to go to Haskell game, then on to Dallas next day to yell for Varsity against Oklahoma. Our hearts are still with our brother Texans. Led fifteen rahs for Varsity last night for the first time in history. “W. K. HANSON, “Yell Leader A. & M.” When the above telegram was read to the students a spontaneous outburst of yelling and clapping broke out and it was several seconds before the speaker could proceed. I-K AND L-M TIE. I-K and L-M played a 0-0 game Tuesday afternoon. The game was clean and hard fought. Both sides played fast, snappy all, but neither side could carry the ball over. L-M had a shade the better of it, though, as they got down near I-K’s line sev eral times and only hard luck kept them from scoring. Once the quarter ended just as L-M made a forward pass that would have resulted in a touch down if they had had a few seconds more to play. The feature of the game was Collins’ kicking. One of his kicks, which went a little over 60 yards, was proba bly the longest kick on the field this j^ear. Turner and Abernathy and Collins were the stars for L-M. Tur ner ran the team well and made sev eral pretty runs. Abernathy was in every play. He intercepted one for ward pass. Collins carried the ball for quite a number of gains, besides his kicking. For I-K Oglesby was the shinning light. In fact he was the largest part of the team. He was the only man who seemed to be. able to gain consistently. He went through the line frequently for good gains and also made several end runs and inter cepted a farward pass. Morgan play ed good ball, also. He made several gains that counted. One of the most noticeable features of the game was the absence of substitutes. Only three were used. They were all three from I-K. Line-Up. I-K—Allen, Dutton, R. E.; Hargrave, Green, R. T.; Wellage, R. G.; Wynn, C.; Reynolds, ,L. G.; Slay, L T.; Cain, Brailsford, L. E.; Morgan, R. H.; Oglesby (Capt.), L. H.; Looney, F.; Price, Q. L-M—Gillespie, R E.; Smith, R. T.; Hogdson, R. G.; Zuehl, C.; Ross, L. G.; Flemming, L. T.; Morgan, L E.; Coll- lins (Capt.), R. H.; Alendtland, L. H.; Abernathy, F.; Turner, Q. Have your cleaning and pressing done by the Brenham Steam Laundry. —Sam Farrell, Agent. It was a noted foreign oble who, on being asked his views of America, replied; “I can rave of only one thing—your beautiful girls. They are the great est charm of this wonderful country. Before them everything else fades in to insignificance.’’ And every true-hearted American echoes his words. What is better in our great land than our girls? They are the color, the sunshine, the roses of our life. In “The Red Widow,” which comes to the Colonial Theatre, Bryan, Texas, Wednesday, October 28th, there is a bevy of American beauties that repre sent our national girl in all her moods and charms. There are girls with nimble, prancing feet, who, with rhythmic motions dance the evening away; others with voices of captivat ing, winning, melodious tones that set you a-humming. Girlies whose smiles will bring expansive beams of amusement to your face; girlies whose stylish, stunning gowns will please your eyes; girlies whose beauty will s6t your head awhirl. Don’t miss the girls of “The Red Widow,” they are the most bewitching types of the North, South, East and West ever gathered in one production.
