Entered as second-class matter at College Station, Texas, February 17, 1905. It seems to us that reveille might just as easily be held on Sunday, too. Since the Seniors are now allowed the privilege, heretofore confined principally to underclassmen, of go ing to reveillee every morning, we are »ure that they will g-ot out c£ the habit every Sunday morning, thus disarranging their systems and un doing all the vast good done by the past week’s exercises. Then too, the Seniors, having the responsibility on their shoulders of the disciplining and instruction of the corps, together with the administration of the al together superfluous student activi ties such as athletics, the Longhorn, the Battalion, all useless time killers, have of late gotten the idea into their heads that they are a little better than anybody else, and entitled to a few privileges that those who have not been at this college four long years do not enjoy. We think, in fact we are positive, that this idea is erroneous, and that the longer one is in college and the more he has to do, the greater the restriction upon him should be. Holding reveille seven mornings in the week would go far toward taking this spirit out of the upper class, and we heartly en dorse it. In line with this, immeasurable benefit would accure if when the un derclassmen are deprived of the bene fits of reveille on December 1, the Seniors were allowed to continue the exercises. Of course we realize that this means more loss of sleep, but if they are headed for the trenches in January, what difference does it make whether their bodies are worn from being deprived of nature’s great restorative? oOo America did not fall down. The second liberty loan campaign, which closed Saturday, was far oversub scribed, and the maximum of $5,000,- 000,000 was nearly reached. We still believe in America. oOo Any student body which thinks enough of its eleven to get up at three o’clock in the morning and go to the station to meet their team, OUR WEEKLY TIP. Ignorance is an oul-Iaw, to be every where smitten with the sword and dag ger of Truth. deserves to have a winner. It took pep and school spirit to turn out of those warm beds Monday morning, but the corps did it. That is the kind of spirit that makes a team en joy working for a body of students. The team is going to do its part, the corps will do its part. What more can be asked? oOo Rice Institute achieved a long- cherished ambition Saturday by downing the Texas Longhorns on Clark Field at Austin. Since the establishment of the Houston school, its eleven has never before been able to beat the Longhorns, although in two years they had great hope of so doing. This victory is going to give the Owls wonderful encouragement, and make it all the harder for our team to win from the Thanksgiving in Houston. Rice has got a wonderful machine, but then they cannot win when it is not their year—and it is ours. oOo TULANE GREAT TEAM SAYS FLORIDA AFTER BEING BEATEN 52-0 Tulane outweighed and outclassed Florida in all departments of the game here today and won 52 to 0. The team work and interference of Tulane was the finest ever witnessed on Fleming Field. Barring frequent penalties on Tulane for off-side play, her line and backfield worked with almost clocklike precision. Her scor ing -’va« acne on long end i-uns aiid overtackle plays which Florida was unable to stop. The star playing for Tulane was done by Legendre and Colee. Tulane confined herself to almost one style of play throughout the whole game, the famed Minnesota shift, which Coach Clark Shaugh- nessy brought to the New Orleans university. M!ystified by the novel combina tions, the Alligator eleven was a beaten team from the first few min utes of play. Even when the nove lty had worn off Florida was unable to form a defense with enough dash and charge to stop the steady march of the Olive and Blue down the field. But Florida never gave up, fighting gamely to the last. While the fight was hard from the start to the finish the game was one of the cleanest ever witnessed here. Tulane’s tackling was a pretty exhi bition, while Florida seemed to be un able to nail the Tulane runners. Only two first downs were made by Florida in the entire game. It is the general opinion of football ex perts who witnessed today’s contest that Tulane has one of the best bal anced teams in the South this year and will be a hard combination to beat. MAJOR LEARY RESIGNS. J. B. (Rex) Leary, major of the second battalion of the second regi ment, left college Thursday, having been called for the national army. Leary was one of the most prominent and generally well liked men in the Senior class, and his leaving was greatly regretted. With the support of the college authorities, Leary will attempt to ob tain a furlough for three months and permission to enter the officers train ing camp at Waco in January.
