THE BATTALION
both goals perfectly, making the
score 21 to 0.
The Trinity team began to show
signs of weakness in the last quarter,
failing to hold the Farmers on any
play. Martin got away for a thirty-
five yard gain around right end to
the five yard line. The ball was
promptly carried across by Mahan
and the goal kicked by Alexander.
Score 28 to 0. Alexander kicked off
to the Trinity goal line. The Tigers
were unable to make even a small
gain and kicked for twenty yards.
The Aggies easily made their first
down and Mahan carried the ball
across for another score. Alexander
kicked goal giving us 35 to 0. Alex
ander made another pretty kick-off
and the Trinity man returned it,
to the ten yard line. Askew inter
cepted a forward pass and on the
next down Mahan made his sixth
touchdown, Alexander kicked goal,
giving us a total of 42 points.
The game was featured by long
runs, pretty passes, and perfect punt
ing. Our line worked well Vander-
voort and Carruthers blocking three
kicks. Carruthers, Drake and Wil
son were very noticable on the line.
Higginbotham and Wilson were in
jured during the game, but both are
not in a serious condition.
For the Tigers, Duff and Wallace
playes the best game. Their team
was about fifteen pounds lighter per
man than our team and deserves a
great deal of credit for putting up a
game fight.

OFFICIALS FOR TEXAS “U”
GAME AGREED UPON
Officials for the Texas A. and M.
—Texas “U’’ Thanksgiving football
game have been agreed on by Direct
ors W. L. Driver of Texas A. and M.
College and L. T. Belmont of Texas
University.
B. L. McCreary, an old University
of Oklahoma player, who is now a
resident of Kansas City, will serve as
referee. Fraull Bridges of Harvard,
who is now coach of the Fort
Smith, Arkansas, High School, will
act as umpire. Chas. Braun of Se
wanee, who is now located at Waco,
will be headlinesman.
Each of these men have officiated
in Texas football prior to 1919. Mc
Creary has worked in three of the
last four A. and M.—Texas “U”
games and always gives satisfaction
to both teams. Bridges served as an
official in the championship game in
1917 between Rice Institute and A.
md M., and spectators will remember
that he was knocked out “diving-in”
after the ball. Braun has worked in
a score of big games in the state in
the last three years and is well and
favorably known by all college men.
The selection of these three men
insures that the Thanksgiving game
will be handled in a competent man
ner.
MIDNIGHT MAIL SERVICE A
GREAT HELP TO COLLEGE
Approved by President Bizzell as it
Saves 12 to 24 Hours on Im
portant Mail
The Midnight Mail Service of the
College, now being run by Students
“Heinie” Weir and Sam Sanders has
been proving a great help to the Col
lege since the school term began, as
it saves from 12 to 24 hours on im
portant letters. This is due to the
fact that letters mailed at the post
office after 5:00 p. m. are not tied
out, and loose mail cannot be mailed
on the northbound H. & T. C. pas
senger train, which carries pouch
mail only. Thus, letters mailed after
5:00 p. m. are forced to wait until
the trains of the following day before
they are started on their journey, un
less mailed with the Midnight Service
For the information of those who
do not understand the service and
how it is operated we give the fol
lowing explanation:
A mail box is located in every hall
on the Campus, with large containers
on each side, in which letters are
placed, with the 5 cents charged for
rr ailing—jach letter. The letters are
taken from each hall at 11:00 p.
m. and carried to Bryan on the 11:30
p. m. interurban car, where they are
mailed on the northbound H. & T. C.
train at 2:13 a. m. The mail is then
routed on the train by the mail clerk.
Letters to Houston reach their des
tination at 7 :10 o’clock the following
morning, to Dallas at 7:50 a. m., and
Austin at 8:10 a. m. These illus
trations are given to show the time
saved in mailing important letters
with the Midnight Service.
In addition to the benefit derived
by the students of the College from
the Midnight Mail Service, the mon
ey paid to Weir and Sanders for
mailing letters, is used by them in de
fraying their expenses, while in
school. This alone makes it a worthy
project, and worthy of being patron
ized by their fellow-students.

WE ARE HEADQUARTERS
The Midnight Mail Service idea
originated in 1916, in the fertile
brain of John “Fatty” McKnight,
famous guard on A. and M. teams a
few years ago. McKnight handled
the service for about one session
before turning it over to “Smiling”
Bill Sparks, popular member of the
firm of Casey & Sparks Ltd. of the
“Y’» Confectionery. When Sparks
went to the army he released the
service to Allan Rawson, a fellow-
student, who after a few months
turned same over to Weir and San
ders.
The service has received the ap
proval of President W. B. Bizzell
and several other officials of the Col-
