COLL EG E STATION, DECEM BE R 9, 1914 NUMBER 12 L-M DEFEATS li BT SCORE OF 2-0 l-K GAINS MORE GROUND, BUT LOSES MORE HEAVILY ON PENALTIES. SCORE RESULT OF SAFETY L-M defeated I-K this week by the narrow margin of 2-0. L-M really gained a good deal more ground than I-K, but they lost a large part of it in penalties. The score, a safety, came in the last half of the game. L-M ad vanced the hall almost to the goal line and then lost it. I-K attempted to kick, but an L-M man blocked the kick. The ball rolled over the goal line and an I-K man picked it up, but he was tackled behind the line, regis tering a safety for L-M. Gilliam, Turner, Olson and Aber nathy all played good football. They got away fast and were hard to stop. Gilliam played a great defensive game. The line did a good deal of holding, however, and the resulting penalties prevented L-M from piling up a larger score. Slay, Oglesby, Price and Morgan all played a good game, Oglesby especial ly. Brailsford, at end, played a great game, too. The lineup: I-K— L-M— Allen .... Right End. Wellage . Right Tackle. , .. .

The annual banquet of the Pan handle Club was held Saturday night on the first floor of Goodwin Hall. About 25 members were present and much enthusiasm was manifested. There were two tables, which Mr. Mof- fet persisted in calling “the festal hoard,” loaded down with good things to eat. Strange to say, all of the Pan handlers seemed to prefer the Bryan food to that offered by our beloved Mr. Sbisa; there were even some who desired liquid refreshments stronger than water, hut these were in the minority and the banquet was carried out orf a strictly neutral basis. After the edibles had been disposed of, cigars were past around and im promptu speeches were made by members of the club. A short busi ness meeting was held and the club adjourned. Prof. Bressler (in English 2)—Mr. Green, what is meant by “Marlowe’s mighty line?” P. Green—Well—er—I suppose it means that he had a good line. THE A. &M. IS.

After roll call the minutes of the pre ceding meeting were read and ap proved. The club was treated to a talk by Dr. G. S. Fraps of the experiment sta tion. This was the second of a series of talks to be delivered by the differ ent professors to the club. Dr. Fraps’ talk was highly instructive and enter taining. He spoke of the work of the experiment station, beginning with the time when he took charge eleven years ago. His discussion of the analyses of feedstuffs and fertilizers and of the profit work of the station was very instructive. He outlined some of the difficulties which are met with in the analyses work, and also some of the ways manufacturers have of adulterating their products and the State’s—that is, his—remedy for such. All in all, Dr. Fraps’ talk was certain ly appreciated by the club ancT visi tors, of whom there were quite a num ber. The club, immediately after Dr. Fraps’ talk, decided to pay the experi ment station a visit, in a body, Wed nesday, December 9. C-D TIES WITH G-H OrSCOBEOFO-O CONTEST HARD FOUGHT — C-D ALMOST SCORES BUT G-H LINE HOLDS. VERY LITTLE FUMBLING C-D and G-H played another 0-0 game Saturday. Both teams fought hard, but neither side was able to score. C-D almost carried the ball across in the first quarter, but the G-H line held and then C-D fumbled the ball. It was the best game of com pany football seen this year. There was scarcely any fumbling and very few penalties. “Bull” Moses was the shining light for C-D. He played faster ball than ever. “Bullet” Moses and Harris were right on the job all the time. - McCul- lom did the best kicking he has done this year. His kicking was consistent thruout the game. Eyl, Smith, Clarke and Galliford played the best football for G-H. Hans punted better than ever, and the av erage of all his kicks was high. Runge played a good game at quarter.
