8 THE BATTALION ! AMONG THE COMPANIES t *• Captain Harrison, Co. C, Infantry, has been confined to the hospital with the exception of Thanksgiving Day since the Southwestern game in which he sustained severe injury to his knee which was first hurt in his Fish year on the gridiron and has caused constant trouble since that time. Even though he was unable to enter all of the scheduled games “Chicken” received his letter again with the gold football of the Championship team and the blanket of the Senior letter man. * * * * Casper Real, Co. C, Inf., depart ed immediately after the 7-0 game for San Antonio. Previously, he had not even considered a trip to Bryan. But maybe his ship came in just in time! * * * W. F. B. (Bill) Fry Sergeant in Co. C, Infantry, last year was a visitor of “Rabbi” Bertcshler the past week. The game with Texas brought him down it is stated though we suspect a certain fair lady in Bryan wielded considerable influence in the visit from Austin. * * * John S.

B, In fantry, 6 In a game of close guarding on both sides Co. C won its first basket ball game of the season by defeating Co. B, 11 to 6. The game was faster than the score indicates. At the end of the first half the score stood 3 to 1 in B’s favor, “Coney Island” Smith started the fire-works in the second half by throwing two pretty field goals which were folowed by three long shots by Hensarling. This was the turning point of the game owing to the fact that B lacked the final punch to over come C’s lead. Only four fouls were called, Hensarling throwing the only one called on B while Cham bers, who played a steady game for B, threw two of the three called on C. The lineup: B Co.—Guynes, R. F.; Graham, L. F.; Fuahs, C.; Chambers, L. G.; Ellwood, R. G. C Co.—Hensarling, L. F.; Real, R. F.; Smith, C.; Sanders, R. G. Crevan, L. G. Substitutes C Co.: Strange for Real, Smith for Strange.

The spac ious reception room of Sophomore Hartung and Williams was the place and Saturday night was the time. The program tendered by the Fish was greatly enjoyed by those pres ent. The final number on the pro gram was a representation of Cleo patra and Mark Anthony which was very well acted by the Fishes Blair and Umphries. Old school spirit manifested itself in the form of Col lege yells and frequently through the evening fifteen for the team was to be heard. * * * How would you like to wager your last years uniform refund on the Tex as game ? * * * The Fish of Company A Infantry, are working out daily for football and desire a game with some other Fish team. * * * Every “fish” in B Co, Signal Corps was in the parade Friday nite. m > •: :• : ■ Mil '.:AH .y:SsS.: I ' tm I DISAPPOINT MENT BY DELAY - 1.00 F»L_US - 11.50 - 2.00 W Ain i R TAX Seat Sale Opens Today ont-of-town patrons wiHi check, plus war (ax, will be filled in order received. ARMISTICE DAY IS CELE BRATED, WORK STOPPED Continued form Page 1) appreciation of being able to address a student body of such an institution as A. and M. College, a school which, he said, had proven its metal in the recent world war. General Scott was connected with the College thirty years ago. At that time there were only two hunderd students. Receiving comnjissions, General Scott said, means responsibility and obligation, and responsibility in ear ly life, is the greatest asset for re sponsibility in later life. Military training, he said, fits men for civil life as well as military, as it teaches appreciation of responsibility. In regard to the present state of unrest now prevailing the country, General Scott declared the time had come for every man to be prepared to meet any emergency. The League of Nations, he said, would be a bless ing to mankind. “Vigilance is the Price of Liberty. The future is uncertain. Every grad uate on leaving this institution should devote at least ten minutes each day studying military affairs. Upon the students of this institution and other such institutions, the safety of this country rests in the event a crisis arises. In the meanwhile graduates in civil life should pursue the duties and obligations of citizenship, better the institutions of the countr ’study conditions and build good rc j,” he said in conclusion.
