BRYAN, TEXAS
his undisputed success with the
squad, it is his qualities as a MAN
that give him his rapidly growing
popularity with the whole corps. He
makes regular nightly visits to the
sick in the hospital, taking them
magazines, fruits, etc., but principal
ly a large stock of good cheer, a
splendid mixer, he makes everyone
about him at ease. He has the real
Irish wit, the dry humor, that go to
make life worth the living. With
an unconquerable spirit that wins, it
may be said of Con Lucid, as of
“Captain Johnny”—“he is a true
Irishman and a real gentleman.”
COACH LUCID.
Con C. Lucid was born in the city
of Dublin, in the “old country,’’ an
indefinite and (according to him) en
tirely irrelevant number of years ago.
He came to this country as a boy,
and spent several of his childhood
years in Boston, Mass., which he still
maintains is the imperial city of the
United States.
He was educated at Notre Dame,
and he learned the National game
there. After leaving college he went
into professional hall, as player and
coach. His first experience of this
kind was in the Pacific Northwest.
Later he played minor baseball in the
Southern League, in Louisville, and
in Newark (International League).
He played twelve years in “big time,”
with Brooklyn, Philadelphia and St.
Louis. He came to the Texas League
and his last engagement was in the
South Atlantic League.
Mr. Lucid coached several of the
league clubs while playing with
them, working especially with the
pitchers. He coached the University
of Pennsylvania, the University of
Texas, Rice Institute, and under his
tutelage the Houston club of the
Texas League captured the flag three
seasons. For several seasons he was
with the famous Millionaire Club of
Orange Oval, New Jersey.
In the winter Mr. Lucid did sports
—writing for the newspapers. During
his career he was with the San Fran
cisco Examiner, the Boston Herald,
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the
Brooklyn Eagle, the Cincinnati En
quirer, the Fort Worth Record (under
Mr. Clarence Ousley) and the Mexi
can Herald (Mexico City).
Mr. Lucid is a personal friend of
Charlie Moran, and was to have
coached the baseball team, even had
Mr. Moran remained. His extensive
experience in, and knowledge of, the
great American pastime, leaves no
room for doubt as to his ability. And
anyone who has ever watched his
handling of the various men on the
squad realizes how close an observer
of human nature he is. His motto
is, “Know your men.” Meaning that
each man has different character
istics, different peculiarities, and
must therefore he treated differently.
Some must be driven, others led, but
all must he taught to think for them
selves. He doesn’t want a machine,
looking to him for continual instruc
tions, but a hunch of quick-thinking,
chance-taking, capable men, able to
think for themselves, instead of the
coach doing the thinking for the
squad.
But above his ability as a coach,

THE INSPECTION.
Each year an officer detailed by
the United States Army inspects the
military department of the college.
April 2, Captain Merry, General Staff,
reviewed the regiment at 8 a. m. Im
mediately after the review he inspect
ed the arms and equipment of the
corps. Following this each of the
three battalions preformed different
military tactics and maneuvers.
Captain Merry seemed very welf
pleased with the way in which these
were carried out. Especially was he
pleased by the knowledge of military
tactics shown by the officers. Prac
tical problems in military maneuvers
were given the officers for solution.
Their answers brought forth the
comment that the regiment showed a
marked improvement among its of
ficers over two years ago, when
Captain Merry was here last.
This inspection determines the
rank of the college among military
institutions. For several years past
Texas A. and M. has been classed as
a distinguished institution by the
War Department. This is the highest
rank given, and we hope to keep up
our good record by again being rated
as a distinguished institution.
