here to break the routine of army
life. The whole cadet corps needs
to be “pepped” up and football is
about the best “pep” dope ever in
vented.
Football prospects are good this
year tho’ the team promises to be a
lighter one than that of last year.
What the team lacks in weight, how
ever, will be made up in speed, and
WOODROW WILSON
Head-Coach Graves, Coach Cassidy
and Trainer Edmundson are figur
ing on putting out a fast, well-balan
ced team that can meet all contend
ers.
A. & M. is certainly fortunate in
having secured these three men to
put it’s teams upon the field this
year.
Of last year’s team there are
Wilson (captain and guard), Alex
ander (end), Mahan (fullback),
Garth (fullback), and Elam (quar
terback), as a nucleus around whicn
to construct this years team. Many
good men of the scrub team and com
pany teams who are showing up well
in practice are Drake Htackle), Har
rison (Q. B.), Townsdfpjr (end), Hor-
rest '-’(end), Scudder! (tackle and
guard), Ramsey (tackle and guard),
Coit (end), Vandervoort (center),
MAHAN
Walker (end), and Martin (H. B.).
Of the new men, those trying out
for the team for the first time there
are Pierce (center), Wilson (guard)
Earl and Oscar Frazier (backfield),
Weir (end), McDonough (H. B.),
Garrison (H. B.), Davis (tackle),
Millard (center), and Gillam (Q.B.).
Many other new men v/hose names
the editor was unable to secure are
showing up good in scrimmage and
will make A. & M. football history
this year. Out of this wealth of
material the College should certain
ly put out a winning team this year.
All that is now lacking is that old
A. & M. “pep” and fight which will
bud out when this “influenza” wave
is over and quarantine is lifted. That
old A. & M. spirit has never failed
yet and will not fail now.
As a sort of forecast for track,
basket ball and baseball, we may
say that never have the coaches had
such a wealth of r ood material to
draw from as is on hand here this
year and every team put out this
year should be a winner.
ball men this year are Drake, Walk
er, Vandervoort and Harting of
Houston High.
Some of the best bets for track
honors are Earl and Oscar Frazier,
Weir, Maxwell, Mahan (captain),
Landon, Denny, Stein Lee, Hoag and
Hugon.
For baseball, much material is on
hand tho’ none of last years team is
back.
A. & M. fans are not worrying
about not putting out good team in
every sport and will be right there
with the “pep’’ all the time.
Fish Gilliam, the skeeter-weight
quarterback of the Scrubs, is aspir
ing to the position of fullback. He
laid out “Eddie” Mahan in scrim
mage the other day and Eddie hasn’t
been able to get back in the game.
When “Heine” Weir and “Icky”
Elam run their feet are not there
when you reach for them.
“Jimmie” Garth will soon be em
ployed by the British Tank Service.
One of their scouts watched him
plunge line in scrimmage the other
day and decided to use Garth instead
of a drove of tanks in their next
drive Berlinward.
This Wilson of Wichita Falls looks
like another McMurrev, the way he
goes down under punts and in his
tackling.
Pierce of Denton certainly looks
good at center, especially in defen
sive work. He breaks thru and
