Entered as second-class matter at Col
lege Station, Texas, February 17, 1905.
Nov. 19th has come and gone but
its spirit will live on forever. Texas
has been our visitor, whom we are
well proud to entertain. While Texas
lost the game, the game was after all
not the big thing that came off Friday.
The big thing was the cordial rela
tionship that has been reestablished
between two of the South’s greatest
schools. It takes a much better team
and student body to make the most of
a defeat than it does to be victorious.
It is impossible to say how we would
have accepted defeat, but we cer
tainly admire the spirit Texas has
shown. In the first place instead of
making characteristic excuses such as
are given by most defeated teams, they
gave A. ' & M. all, and more credit
than was really due her. Texas has
a wonderful eleven and it was ap
parent to all, that her fighting ma
chine never did get in its usual
smoothe running order. If this had
been the case, the score might doubt
less have been different. We had the
Impression here that Texas some time s
resorted to dirty fotball, but now our
minds are entirely changed. We have
seen them play and we know; for a
cleaner, harder fighting bunch, we
have never met on Kyle field.
The interest Texas showed not only
in the game, but in our other college
activities while she was down here,
was apparent. Visitors flocked into
all our academic buildings, lecture
rooms and practice laboratories. We
were proud to show them around.
A. & M. has written Nov. 19 down
in her history, not only because of our
victory, but because the most amica
ble feeling possible between the two

of fame much of the credit for the
victory is due this diminutive and de
termined leader. Playing with two
broken ribs which he had sacrificed
against the Haskell Indians and a
sprained ankle acquired in practice
he treated the 6,000 football fans to
Did you ever hear the song that tells
the story of the birth of Old Erin?
“Just a Little Bit of Heaven Come to
Earth,” is the way the author de
scribes the land of the Shamrock.
But be that as it may. If you want to
start a fight at the A. & M. College
just slander the Irish. That will stam
pede abunch of A. & M. men any day
in the week.
But the greatest thing about Ireland
is not the warm and throbbing heart
nor of her wonderful traditions. The
greatest contribution from Ireland is
the flock of American Irish patriots
that she has sent across the water.
And all of the clans of Murphys,
O’Rileys and O’Connors that have
landed fresh from the Land of Green
the Garritys stand at the head of the
list.
The very embodiement of Irish cour
age, pluck, endurance, wit and warm
heartedness is to be found in our John
Patrick Garrity, whose name shall be
whispered on lips of love by the next
score of A. & M. generations. Im
pulsive, warm hearted, loyal, the wild
Irishman of Corsicana has a permanent
seat in the Hall of Fame at the A.
& M. College. It was only last Fri
day that Johnnie Garrity as captain
of the fighting A. and M. eleven en
deared himself to the 10,000 A. & M.
men in Texas, he turned a seemingly
inevitable defeat into a wonderful
victory. Newspapers hitherto none
too friendly to A. & M. and to this
leader of the Garrity warrior clan-
vied with each other in choosing the
biggest type for his name in the head
lines and in the use of extravagant
phrases singing his praises for his
wonderful playing and his ability as
a leader.
Without intending any disparage
ment to the other thirteen men who
fought like demons to emblazon the
name of A. & M. on the football flag
an exhibition in that classic which
never has been seen in Texas before.
His name just now is linked with foot
ball. Later you will know that John
nie’s name means to A. & M. more than
“just a football player and captain.”
He is a friend to every cadet and is
liked by his instructors as well.
In school work while Johnnie has
never been recorded as a shining
light nevertheless he has made all of
his work from the two year course in
textile engineering through a four
year course in that work in four years.
He holds the office of Regimental
Commissary Sergeant.
“Runt” Hanson picked Johnnie as
his best bet for an assistant yell lead
er.
The Newman club in choosing a
President named Garrity for that
office. These are just a few of the
honors that have been conferred on
him. But the thing that endears him
to the 1041 other A. & M. cadets is
that he is a human from top of his
Irish pate to the soles of the feet
which helped to carry A. & M. to a
victory over our friends, the enemy,
Texas.
E-F DEFEATS L-M.
In a closely played but hard fought
game E-F defeated L-M. 3-0 Saturday
at Kyle Field. As this was T ^M’s last
hope for a chance at the sweaters,
they played a hard game. However,
at times their spectacular passes and
end runs failed to result in a score.
On the other hand, E-F’s attempts to
carry the ball for a touchdown were
in vain, and not once was either goal
in danger of being crossed. It fell
to Tommy Cochran, with his Cole-
man-toe, to save the day for E-F. In
the fourth quarter, with only four
minutes to play, Tommy kicked a dif
ficult placement, making the only
score of the game.
Cochran and Lockett were easily
the heroes for E-F, while Fry and
Boothe starred for L-M. “Fatty” Mo-
Knight and “Kraut” Hausser played
a consistent game for E-F.
