HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
HOLDS LIVELY MEETING
Interesting Program and Delightful
Refreshments
End
At the regular meeting of the
Horticultural Society Monday night
the organization fulfilled its prom
ise to become one of the most act
ive, if not the most active, clubs on
the campus. A large number of
members were present and a most
interesting program had been pre
pared. President Westcourt called
the meeting to order, brought such
business before the body as was
necessary and turned the meeting
over to Messrs. Whitman, Livings
ton, and McGee, who had arranged
the evening’s papers and refresh
ments.
Mr. G. D. Livingston was first on
the program with a well-delivered
talk on the history of Horticulture
in Harrison County. Mr. Harry Mc
Gee then addressed the society on
the Pecan Industry in Harrison
County, and stressed especially the
future prospects of pecan growing in
this locality. Mr. Charles Whitman
concluded the talks of the evening
nth a discussion on the Receiving
csf the A.H.T. Company,
to esrry me oall himself because
of his shoulder, he made certain the
Farmer victory by his headwork
alone. As safety he was out of the
defense, but his return of punts was
certain an dsure. It took a football
brain to run that team through Tex
as after penalties had pushed us back
again and again from a touchdown,
but “Knick” didn’t let that get his
goat and we went through in great
form.
The Aggie line was a scrapping
machine in itself. Davis and Goug-
er were under punts to perfection,
and hit freely. The Texas backs
were supposed to be good at circling
the ends but only once did they suc
ceed in breaking through Gouger and
Davis. Davis blocked the Texas punt
behind their goal line at the end of
the first half and but for the whistle
but we aren’t griping. The line
proper opened holes for the plunging
Farmer backs and to the line is due
much of the credit for the success
ful playing of Mahan and Alexander.
Drake, in his last game against Tex
as, got his revenge, for last year’s
defeat. His running-mate, Carruth-
■ers, had the hardest man on the
Texas eleven to handle, but he
handled him to the satisfaction of all
concerned, except the west bleachers.
Captain Woody made his exit from
College football fiercly fighting and
never did the big man so tear up the
enemy line and plays before they
reached the line. His place was ram
med again and again and out from
under the mountains of men would
come Wilson—and the ball was
where it started. Murrah at left
guard did good work. Several Tex
as plays were rudely stopped behind
their starting point by the heavy Ag
gie and he needed watching at all
times. Johnnie Pierce can play anv-
where. Perhaps that is why he
showed such versatility in holding
aid methods promptly applied, while
others ran for a stretcher and pro
fessional aid. Before it was possible
for such to arrive the man had
breathed his last.
It was with the deepest sadness
that the company heard the news.
Cooper had been one of the most ac
tive men of the organization and was
admired and loved by every associate.
His loss came as a heavy blow and
his memory will be cherished by all
who knew him, in his company, in
his class, and in his school.
His character, as judged by those
who were in daily contact and asso
ciation with him, was that of a man
of duty and honor and through his
death the corps has lost a most loyal
and well-loved member. He took the
highest interest in all things relative
to the school and gave his untiring-
support to every good cause. His
friends are numbered as all those
who knew him.
In the Military Department Ser
geant Cooper has an enviable record.
He was a member of the Senioi' Div
ision of the R. O. T. C. and attached
the camp at Zachary Taylor during
the summer. In the classroom he
has always been designated as an ex
cellent student and every instructor
held him in the highest regard.
The Georgetown Club of his home
city, Company C, and the Junior
Class rendered such honors as were
in keeping until the remains were
transported to Georgetown for inter
ment. The flag hung at half-mast
Thursday and Silver Taps was play
ed by the band Wednesday night.
Lieutenant Thrasher and Sergeant
Brinkman accompained the remains
to Georgetown.

the third quarter, Texa^^PKTed up
her play and toward the end of the
period had grasped the offensive
from the Aggies. The beginning of
the fourth quarter marked the
farthest advance of the orange and
white and by the middle of the peri
od the Farmers had regained their
stride and were smashing through as
in the first part of the game. Two
first downs in the last five minutes of
play made Texas prospects gloomy
and had the Aggie drive been al
lowed to continue a few minutes!
longer, another score would probably
have decorated the score board.
Texas began tricks and open for
mations in the last quarter and these
were responsible for two of her five
first downs, forward passes bringing-
in two. A. and M. made first down
six times, four coming in the first
quarter. For the first time this year
the Aggies pulled something besides
straight football. Their shift play
worked well. Texas’ shift never did
damage. The superiority of A. and
M. was indisputable and no one can
say anything but that the best team
won.
Wilson won the toss and chose to
receive at the north goal. Higgin
botham returned the Texas kick-off.
Hig at once punted to the Texas 35
yard line and Brennon punted back,
the ball going out of bounds on the
A. and M. 35 yard mark. On the
first play of the game, Hig lost one
yard around left end, Graves getting
the tackle. Higginbotham then shov
ed a long punt for 55 yards to the
Texas twenty. McCallum started
’Varsity’s offensive with two yards
thru right tackle and Hedick added
two over left tackle. With six yards
to go, Texas punted on the third
down to mid-field. The exchange of
punts had netted A. and M. 30 yards
and advancing into enemy territory
