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.

PANHANDLE CLUB BANQUET.
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.

CHEMICAL CLUB HOLDS MEETING
The Chemical Club held its regular
semi-monthly meeting December 7.
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.
