Entrance to Kyle Field.
The athletic field at A. & M. is one of the best, if not the
best, college field in Texas. Separate grounds for baseball,
football and track are maintained. It is at this field that the
events of the Annual Inter-State Track Meet will be held.

A. & M. VS. RICE OWLS.
University of Texas, Uet). 3.—The
Winsonian Dramatic Club is hard at
work with the preparation of their
annual play, which will be given here
on February 20. The production will
be one of the best presented in the
South.
Prof. Patterson recently gave an
interesting address to the Pre-Medics
on the effects of alcohol.
Dr. Schoch of the department of
chemistry delivered an interesting and
instructive lecture in the auditorium
recently, choosing as a basis for his
discussion the distinctive product of
the South—cotton.
The Longhorn baseball mackinaws,
which were donated by Mrs. Lutcher
Stark of Orange, have arrived. The
coats are orange in color with a white
steer’s head on the back. An orange
“T” on a white background is placed
in a diamond on the right hand side
of the coat in front.
A wharf is being constructed on the
university property bordering on Lake
Austin. Boats will be rented to the
students by the Athletic Council. A
bath house also is being planned.
The jitneys have become very popu
lar with the student body here and
are playing havoc with the street car
patronage. Several of these cars are
owned by a student in the law depart
ment.
The baseball men are practicing
daily and are fast rounding into
shape. Mr. Disch’s product will prob
ably be the best in years.
The Cactus is further advanced in
work than it has ever been in previous
years, and the management announces
its appearance to be made about the
first of May.
TENNIS TO ORGANIZE.
Sunday afternoon the A. & M. ten
nis squad will organize. The squad
will be limited to thirty-two men, and
you will have to be prompt to get
your name in. There will be no mem
bership fees and admittance will be
based upon ability.
The courts are under construction
now, and will be completed as soon
as it is dry enough for the grader to
work the ground properly. Judging
by the amount of interest that has
been manifested on the campus lately
it is going to be difficult to limit the
number to thirty-two, but it is hoped
that by next year we can go against
the best teams in the State. We have
been so fortunate as to obtain the
services of W. H. Thomas as coach,
and he has consented to take full
charge of the courts.
If you wish to enter your name for
the tournament which is to decide
membership, turn in your schedule of
empty hours during the afternoons of
the second term either to O. S. Gray
at 63 Mitchell or to P. B. Metcalfe, 70
Leggett, before Sunday’s meeting.
Your name without your schedule will
not do.

Play at College Saturday Nnight—Also
Mobing Pictures and Dancing.
Perhaps the fastest basketball game
of the season at the A. & M. College
will be played Saturday night at 8:30
o’clock at the gymnasium when the
Aggies’ quintet meets the fast five
from Rice Institute, Houston. This
game will have a definite bearing on
the standing of the A. & M. five in the
basketball column in Texas.
Both schools defeated Baylor Uni
versity. Rice whipped the Baptists
by the score of 40 to 11 and A. & M.
beat the Waco team by the score of
39 to 11. Rice was defeated by Texas
University Wednesday night.
The Houston Owls are regarded as
an exceptionally strong team and the
Aggies are expecting one of the hard
est games of the season Saturday
night.
The moving pictures will be shown
in the chapel from 7 until 8 o’clock,
and after that the game will be called
at 8:30 at the gymnasium. The col
lege band will play and there will he
dancing after the game.
