Alumni and Business men. The A. & M. corps of cadets visited Houston last Monday for the first time since 1912, when the memorable game with the Louisiana Tigers w T as staged. It is useless to say that every man enjoyed the trip and that the school made a good showing. Special mention should be made, however, of our friend, “Kike” Barraco, who has so constantly referred to Houston as “My home town,’’ and told us of his erous consultations with the may- of that city. He was there in all his glory and assisted by other mem bers of the Houston Club, took a great delight in showing the unitiated the beauties and advantages of Houston. About 600 cadets left College at 6 o’clock Monday morning “Houston bound,’’ arriving there about 10 o’clock. The train was met by a number of the business men and the A. & M. Alumni of that city,' and the A. & M. headquarters were established at the Rice Hotel. The cadets were an important part of the parade which marked the open ing of the No-Tsu-Oh Carnival. After the parade, arms were stacked and the corps was dismissed. The remainder of the day was spent in seeing the town, and every one re ported having a splendid time. The people of Houston were very hospita ble and saw that every cadet had an opportunity to enjoy his visit. As sembly was sounded at 11:30 and at 12 o’clock the A. ’ & M. train left for College. game by intercepting a forward pass and running 50* yards for a touchdown. For l-K the stars were Oglesby, Slay and Morgan. Oglesby was the surest ground gainer in the game. He went thru the line repeatedly and made several long gains on end runs. (Continued on Page 7.) The stars for C-D were: “Bull” Moses, Stangel, Peters and “Bullet” Moses. “Bull” played a better game than ever at end, on the defensive, es pecially. It was mighty seldom that anything got by him. Stangel ran the team well and he was also one of (Continued on Page 7.) FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER THURS DAY. The Apollo Concert Company, the A. & M. Gains Second Place in State Standing—-But Three Games Yet Remain for Year. Heavily outweighed, but fighting pluckily and with the luck breaking all one way, Rice Institute surrendered second honors in State ranking at West End to Texas A. & M., being rolled under a 32 to 7 score in a game loosely played and marred by frequent fumbling, but at times rises to the zenith of the spectacular. Such a moment occurred when Cole man, A. & M.’s brilliant fullback from Ft. -Worth, standing on the 40-yard line and almost on the sideline, drove the pigskin from Scott’s hands be tween the goal posts for ran almost im possible place kick. Old A. & M. Alumni must have recalled that hard ly greater boot of Louis Hamilton on Clarke Field just seven years ago. There was no break about Coleman’s phenomenal kick. It was just a mi raculous boot, and credit is due to the lad from Fort Worth who, for the sec ond time on West End Field, has prov en himself a wonderful player. The next touchdown was another fumble, Garrity tackling Brown of Rice on the Gray’s 30-yard line as he was about to make a forward pass, recovering the resulting fumble and racing over the goal line. The ever present Garrity intercepted another forward pass in the last quarter and dashed 60 yards for a touchdown. Rice’s only touchdown came in the second qurater, when Brokn broke through the line on a crossback over tacke and then raced 65 yards past the secondary defense for the score. Rice skirted more ground on end running, relying on the speed of Gar nett, Snell and Brown, and returned punts more effectively. In the early part of the game, too they pierced the ponderous A. & M. line for good gains. Rice fumbled more frequently first Lyceum numbre for this year, than their opponents, however, and will perform here on Thursday, Nov. 12. The entire Lyceum course for this year is the best that can be obtained anywhere. It so far outclasses the courses whiich have been given to the students formerly that thhere is no comparison to be made. Every one should get a season ticket and go out to every number. There will be no choice as to which is the best; they are all best. Tickets will be on sale by the captains of the companies.

The fact that they were optpunted weighed heavily against Rice, together with the old failing ofcommitting fouls. Penalties at critical moments proved costly in deed and Rice was assessed far more frequently than was A. & M. Lack of the aggressive character of A. & M.’s play also counted against Rice. But more than all, there was the per tinent fact that Rice was not there
