■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.

T1 M. C. DEFEATS
GAME LIVELY, MUCH FUMBLING,
MANY ARGUMENTS, WIND
INTERFERES.
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.

CADETS™ TO
B. H. FABER TELLS OF AGREE
MENT BETWEEN COUNCIL
AND COMMITTEE.
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.

PROMINENT SPEAKERS ADDRESS
MEETINGS—SESSIONS ARE
INSTRUCTIVE.
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.
