COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, JANUARY 20, 1915 NUMBER15 ■MITES MEET DECISIVE DEFEAT A. & M. WINS AGAINST S. H. N. I. VISITORS FAIL TO MAKE A FIELD GOAL. SCORE MADE WAS 38 TO 8 The A. & M. basketball team open ed the basketball season by defeating the Sam Houston Normal team by a score of 38 to 8. The visitors never made a single field goal. All their points were made on fouls. However, they were wonders at throwing fouls, as they made eight goals out of eleven tries. The whole team played .an unusual ly fast game. Their speed combined with their weight and teamwork com pletely overwhelmed the visitors. Very seldom did the ball get in our terri tory, and when it did one of our guards was right there to send it back. The first prize for basket shooting will have to be handed to “Runt” Hanson. He threw eight field goals and five foul goals, making 21 of A. & M.’s 38 points. Walter Braumiller was second with two field goals. “Nick” Braumiller played up to his usual form and generally succeeded in breaking up everything the Hunts ville bunch started. In this he was ably assisted by Settebast, Everett and Braumiller, notably the latter. When Walter was unable to get the ball in the regular manner he would make a flying tackle for it, and, due to his football experience, he generally succeeded in getting it. In the last part of the game the entire team with the exception of Walter Braumiller was taken out and new men put in, and there was no difference between the two teams as far as the brand of basketball was concerned. There are so many bas ketball stars on the squad that it is hard to pick out the best team. The way it looks now, the A. & M. quintet is a strong contender for the State championship.

FINAL SCORE WAS 25 TO 7 Last Friday the T-AMC team de feated the all-company team by a score of 25 to 7. There was a record- breaking crowd out to see the game, probably due to the fact that all those who purchased tickets were excused from drill. The game itself was an exciting one. There was not a dull moment in it. Just about the time the crowd would begin to lose interest in the game a free-for-all fumble would be pulled off. Several times it seemed as tho every one of the twen ty-two men tried to hold on to the ball, without making a success of it. Then, too, the arguments following the fumbles helped to liven up things, particularly when Runge recovered what he supposed to be a fumbled ball and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. The individual playing was good, but there was very little teamwork, as neither team had had much time to practice. There was a good deal of fumbling, too, due to the high wind, which made passing d/ifficult. The T-AMC team made a touchdown in the first quarters. Then in the second quarter both teams made a touch down. In the third quarter Runge ran 70 yards for a touchdown, but the play was ruled out. The T-AMC team made two touchdowns in the second half. The all-company team almost scored on forward passes in the last few minutes of play, but one incom- pleted pass went over the line and the ball went over to the scrubs. Kendricks and Hooker played the best game for the scrubs. Kendricks’ line bucking was the surest ground gainer the scrubs had. Shorty Hooker made some pretty runs in returning punts. Mitchell made some good tackles and they came at opportune times. Duncan, Runge, Olsen, Stangel, Moses and Oglesby all played a good game on the all-company team.

INSTRUCTORS TO LEAVE ROOM I would like to give the corps a lit tle information on the action taken by the Student Council in regard to the honor system. But first I want to explain a few facts. Just what the honor system means is a question that all students do not have the same ideas on. Just what these ideas are, it is not necessary to tell them. The point I want to bring out is that the honor system means that a man while a student at A. & M, College is on his honor to be a gentle man. A few of the specific points that we have to deal with most often are stealing and cheating. The tendency to steal while in school is small, and it is the hope of the council that there will not be necessity to try a man for stealing this year. But the main thing that the council is troubled with is the disregard of the honor system on examinations. The council asks every man this year to refrain from cheating in the oncoming exams, not only for the value of his diploma and the uplift ing of the school, but also for the sake of being square with himself, teachers and classmates. The action taken by the council is this. The council met with the Discipline Committee and agreed that every student in A. & M. College should feel it his duty to abstain from cheating on examination and monthly quizzes and not feel that some one was watching him to see that he was not cheating. Furthermore, it was agreed that no instructor or professor was to remain in an examination room or quiz room, except long enough to answer questions. This is the plan that is going to be pursued during the oncoming exams. If it is to remain this way, every man must come square with the instructors and live up to his part of the agree ment. We do not want to especially en courage reporting a man for cheating, but would rather see the affair settled in the exam room. That is, if a man sees another cheating just remind him that he is not acting square, and then if he refuses to live up to the contract, report him. Any breach of the agree ment on the part of the instructor should be reported to the president of the council, who will take neces sary steps to remedy the situation. B. H.

LADIES ARE ENTERTAINED The county lady demonstrators in the rural home improvement work, which is being conducted jointly by the A. & M. College and the United States Department of Agriculture, have been attending the annual school of instruction here for the week, be ginning last Thursday and closing Wednesday afternoon. There are thirty-one ladies in this work in as many counties, with State headquar ters here in charge of Miss Bernice Carter and her assistant, Miss Simp son. This work was formerly confined to girls’ canning clubs and poultry clubs, but has now been extended to include all phases of home work. These ladies have reported great success during the past year in their work among the farm women. They find that the women on the farm are anxious to know about any conven ience that will lighten their work. Home economics applies to the house work the same as scientific farm man agement to the farm. Among the prominent speakers that have addrest the meeting are Dr. Bradford Knapp, in charge of the demonstration feature of the United States Department of Agriculture, and Mr. Flohr, scientific expert in the Department of Farm Markets, Wash ington, D. C. Dr. Knapp is at the head of the demonstration work thru- out the United States and in his hands has been placed the greatest opportunity and means of benefiting the rural population ever conceived by the Department of Agriculture. He made two lectures while here, one be fore the Scientific Agricultural Asso ciation on Thursday night and an other on Friday night to which the entire corps was invited. Mr. Flohr’s lecture on “Parcel Post Marketing” was illustrated with lantern slides and proved very instructive. The program for the week’s instruc tion includes work in a number of subjects. All phases of home econo mics are taken up and discust in de tail, including sewing, cooking, can ning, poultry raising, home conven iences, etc. The former work in to mato canning club work has not been overlooked and the ladies have re ceived instruction in the building of hotbeds, transplanting tomatoes, cul tivation, fertilizers, packing, canning, etc. Miss Carter has endeavored to make the visitors feel at home as much as possible. Saturday night they attend ed the picture show in chapel and af terwards were the guests of the bas ketball management to the game, in the gym between Sam Houston Nor mal and A. & M. Sunday they ac companied the inspectors at S. M. I.
