Standing of the Teams: W L Pet. C-D 1 0 1.000 E-F 1 0 1.000 G-H 1 1 .500 A-B 0 1 .000 SECOND REGIMENT. Standing of the Teams: W L Pet. E-F 1 0 1.000 C-D 1 1 .500 A-B 0 1 .000 G-H 0 0 .000 If the score 13-0 signifies^ any thing, then the game between C-D and G-H will be a hard one. •< G. W. Carlisle has been visiting his parents in Plano for the past few 4lays. Results Saturday. G-H 13, A-B 0. C-D^—E-F, Postponed. G-H, 13—A-B, 0. In the second game of the inter company football series Sunday, G-H defeated A-B by the score of 13-0. Both teams played fast, snappy ball. Fish Hale of H-l made the first touchdown about the middle of the first quarter. The half ended with the score 6-0. In the last few mo ments of the game Lovelady of G-l scored another touchdown and Leid- olf successfully kicked gofcil which made the final score 13-0. Special mention might be made of the ex cellent defensive work of Powell and Whitton. Results Saturday. E-F 6, C-D 0. A-B—G-H, Postponed. E-F, 6—C-D,0. The C-D, E-F game Sunday after noon resulted in a score of 6-0 in favor of E-F. There was very little football displayed in this game, the only touchdown being made on a fumble, and pure ignorance causing E-F to fail to make their goal. Hud- nal starred for E-F and Joe Brown with his weight did some splendid line pulnging. “Big Swede” Simp son and “Red” rThompson of C-D attracted a great deal of attention! by showing good football sense al though neither was in good form for a game. The team came home victorious. None doubted that, we reckon, We knew before the team left home, That they’d “bring home the bacon!” And none have crossed the Aggies’ goal. And none shall cross this season. Looks at the corps, band, the team, And you’ll not ask the reason. —Aggie Lyrics. A. K. Foster (Red), D-2, spent the past week in Dallas and at his home in jj^envill^. _R. I- Martin and A.' J. Dreyfus, ^-2, atten^jd the L. S. U. game in San Antonio and remained for a few days visit with the home folks. | AMONG THE COMPANIES ! To Glimp and Simpson of C-2; “Twinkle, twinkle little hair, How I wonder where you air, Up above the lips so brave— Why in the world don’t you shave?” Word has been received that S. L. M/atthews and H. B. Moses, last year of C-2, have sailed for France in the Aviation Corps. C. L. Babcock visited home Sat urday and Sunday. The band members wish to ex- their thanks to the corps for the lib eral support towards the trip to San Antonio. Reserved seats to the chair car on the San Antonio trip, were sold to the fish and one junior in the band last Friday night. Sergeant Hancock visited his rel atives in Cooledge last Friday and Saturday. Fish Hazelwood spent Saturday and Sunday with his relatives in Leander. A certain member of the band was mistaken for a French aviator while in San Antonio, and was saluted by several officers, who later found out their mistakes and were mortified. Fish Vance was with his relatives in San Antonio Saturday and Sun day. Lieutenant Leffel visited the Dal las Fair and went from there to see the L. S. U. game. B-l was well represented at San Antonio. Lillard, Blumberg and Col ville paid our respects to the city and represented us at the game. D. K. Dodge is spending a few days at his home in Houston. G-l regrets the loss of Geo. L. Cleere, who has joined the “Lib erty Boys” at camp Pike at Little Rock, Ark. We know he will make good as a “Sammie.” Lieut. Myers has returned from Dallas where he has been spending the week with the Stock Judging Team. J. L. Hudgins is visiting his home in Houston for a few days. G-l is blessed with some very am bitious Fish. One of them has re quested the Sophomores of that company to run him for president of the Sophomore class. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Humphre- ville, Jr., visited their brother G. D. Humphreville ’19, Sunday. D-2 was well represented by the finny tribe at the L. S. U. game; Fish Peeler, Parks and Boone being right there. A.. D. Martin has been called home on account of the severe illness of his sister. “Red” Dawson, Ben Garrity and “Easy” Prideaux were soldiers three at the game Saturday. “Tappie” Davidson has gone to San Antonio to take the examination for the Aviation school at Austin. E-F 2nd is on the way to the goal. A victory over C-D 2nd gives a good chance for the Regimental cham- ionship. The tiger is a funny freak, I remember one I saw; That every meal that he received, Was taken in his paw. I don’t know how the beast exists; His stomach sure must gnaw, For all the food that he ever gets Is swallowed by his maw. S. W. H. Prof. Bowersox was giving a lec ture on the polygon of forces and ended up by saying, “A force of ten pounds acting at an angle of fif teen degrees.” A Fish frankly asked, “Farenheit of Centigrade.” One of the Chem Profs tells this one: Fish Strange: “Professor where can I find some concentrated H20?” THE NEWEST UNIVERSITIES. Some of the greatest univer sities are less than a year old. Many of the students have no feet. Scores of others are short a hand or an eye. The faculty cobbles its own shoes and wishes it hadn’t lost its tooth brush. Everybody connected with these more recently established univer sities of Europe is uniformly dirty, ragged and lousy. The flag and drum department of war has a great deal of the dramatic to recommend it; the prison camp lacks several points of being thrilling. The deadly monotony of it drives many a man mad. Authentic re ports state that ten to twenty per cent of all prisoners of war are in sane. To save their minds, classes are organized to study everything from Sanscrit to Insect Powder. Ana university professors are to be had, in abundance, prepared to teach any thing within the range of human in terest. In each 'oft these» Etrtopean prison camps, social workers are now main tained to organize and promote such studies, recreation, games and sports as may save the mind of many a young fellow headed toward melan cholia. A man who has lost his foot is in a bad way, but he may make a crutch. Up to this time, nobody has thought out the problem of an arti ficial brain. It is expected that the increased number of social workers to be added to these camps this winter will save many a life. Last year, it will be remembered, the college students of America con tributed more than $200,000 to what was known as the “Student’s Friend ship War Fund.” Dr. John R. Mott, upon his recent return from a tour of the European prison camps, states that hundreds if not thousands, of lives were saved last winter by this means. It is asserted that, in many cases, a ten dollar bill would have bought all the necessities to keep a prisoner alive—to keep a sick man food suit able for an invalid, or an overcoat for some anaemic fellow with insufficient clothes. By the way, had you noticed the inferior grade of Worestershire Sauce we’ve been getting lately? Takes a tiple dose of the stuff to make a steak like anything at all. Wonder what’s the matter? The war-prisoner—that’s what ails everything. The thought of him takes our appe tite. He haunts us—he does—with his lean, un-shaven jaws. And his sunken eyes. And his loose teeth. Let’s help him.
