THE BATTALION
Wednesday, October 31, 1917
A. and M. within the last few years
were in the stands, and led by -the
cadet band, they gave the Aggies en
thusiastic and vigorous support.
About a thousand Cuero people saw
the game, and rooted vociferously for
their fellow-townsman, Dunny Mc-
Murray, Farmer tackle. Dunny sat
isfied them, for he played an excellent
game in the line, and time after time
when called back he would plunge
the Louisiana line for substantial
gains.
Jack McClintock suffered a sprain
ed ankle in the first quarter and had
to be carried from the field. Dr.
Blackwell is of the opinion, however,
that the speedy half will be able to
play in the Baylor game, which is on
November 10. Several other men
came back badly battered up. An
derson will be out of the Tulane
game with a bad leg. Ford also re
ceived a badly battered leg, and Wil
liamson was injured in the side. The
whole team shows the effects of a
hard game, and tender spots are in
numerable.
What Coach Bible will do in the
Tulane game with McClintock out
is hard to say. Collins and Mahan
are sure to be in, with either Fab
ian, Elam, Weir, Garth, or Higgin
botham in the other two backfield
places. Higginbotham showed up
mighty well at San Antonio, and it
is probable that he and Elam will
start. Gilmore will be in at center.

ONt MORE JOKE
REVEALS HIMSELF
Late Crop of Nuts Not Yet Ex
hausted. Regimental Color
Corporal Congratulated
by the Corps.
The fish class this year is due the
thanks of the school for their bril
liant contributions to the mirth of
the corps. Their second contribution
to the school Curiosities, Sports and
Abnormalities, furnished for a time
a better Oh-stop-tickling show than
is generally witnessed by paying
money to the child of Israel at the
Majestic ticket window.
Some of his own classmates, tiring
of the unaccustomed monotony of
life in barracks, and probably spot-
ing in his features the sure sign of
the graduate of the Home for Back
ward Children, carried to him the
news of his appointment to the post
of Regimental Color Corporal. At
first he met the information with the
modesty of the blushing young thing
not willing to expose his full value to
the world at one swoop, slowly the
innate power of the man asserted
itself, and with the true manner of
the one born to rule, he thanked the
bearers of the welcome message, and
immediately sat down to write the
folks at home the wonderful news.
He was truthful, but not exaggera
tive, and merely said that he had
been accorded the “highest honor a
freshman can have.”
Next came the chevrons. He
strode with the dignity becoming a
high-ranking officer over to the Ex
change store, and majestically de
manded the arm decorations of a
Regimental Color Corporal. Mr.
Cheat’em must have smelled a rod
ent, for he supplied the boy with a
handsome black chevrons to go oni
his slee*c, anu nu time was lost iri
attaching them firmly.
The first meal tried the true tem
per of the man. Showing his ac
quaintance with the customs of the
school, he took his place at the reg
imental staff table, without more
comment than necessary, and ate
calmly through the meal, the only in
terruption coming in the form of a
call for all staff officers to the table
of the Colonel.
After dinner our weak minded
young hero received the congratula
tions of his friends, and of many of
the corps who had not known him
before, but were attracted from
afar by this interesting phenomenon.
