C-D 1 1 .500
A-B 0 1 .000
G-H 0 0 .000
If the score 13-0 signifies^ any

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.

| 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.

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.

zell or T. E. Hagan at 39 Ross Hall.
