THE BATTALION
———B—Mg——H—BMW Ji ————|
! AMONG THE COMPANIES I
^ *$*
The largest crowd ever congre
gated at a Fish football game wit
nessed the defeat of Company G at
the hands of the hard-hitting slimes
of Company E. The E Company
Freshmen showed up better than
ever before during the entire sea
son. Neither team had been de
feated and the battle was a hot one.
Neither side was able to register a
score during the first quarter. Mc
Lain started things going in the sec
ond quarter when he recovered an
over-head ball fifteen yards behind
the line of scrimmage and ran fifty
yards through the midst of Jeppapa’s
bunch for a touchdawn. McLain
then kicked goal.
After this sudden shock the de
fense of Company G began to weaken
and the line was unable to defend
itself from the onslaughts of the
hard-hitting backs of Company E.
Buckner carried the ball over for an
other touchdown in the thind quarter
and a few minutes later McLain
made a perfect drop kick for a goal
from the thirty-yard line. The E
Fish seemed to gain at will through
the G line-up toward the last of the
game. Fish Tom carried the pig
skin over for the final score during
fourth quarter. The final score was
23 points for E Company and 0 for
G. It might be said that McLain,
Tom, Henderson, Buckner and
Herger played a brilliant game of
football but it is difficult to pick
any individual player who deserves
special mention because every man
on the E Company team played first
class ball and it was their perfect
team work that enabled them to run
up such a high score and to dercii-i
their goal Hudson suffered a brok
en arm during the third quarter and
was rushed to the hospital The E
Fish wish him a speedy recovery.
These two companies played a tie
game Wednesday, the game being
called on account of darkness.

Another good man gone wrong.
The women are the cause of it all.
Billingsley, of Co. A. Signal Corps,
has had some very business like calls
to Bryan very lately, and after some
thorough investigations it was found
out that he is taking dancing lessons.
We have already noticed how grace
fully he keeps in step out on the
drill field, and we blame all on the
fair woman who is teaching him the
very latest steps besides the shimmy.
* * *
Wish Uncle Sam would have is
sued those clothes to us instead of
sending them back to San Antonio.
They have been in the Old Chapel
ever since last spring and we never
received either clothes or money
while Allen Academy have had
clothes issued since the beginning of
the present term. It seems as if the
Junior R.O.T.C. is more important
than ours.
❖ * *
The E Company Fish are entitled
to the Fish football championship
by virtue of their undefeated career.
If there is any doubt in the minds
of the Fish teams that E company is
entitled to this distinction let them
present a protest to Coach Brown
and arrangements will be made to
convince them that we deserve the
title.
* * *
Fish Jackson thinks that the fire
works Monday evening were to help
him celebrate a pass in Descup that
he fished out of Prof Milner.
A G-H football team is being or
ganized and is promising a good shot
at the championship. It will be re
membered that this team was never
defeated in the company games in
’18.
* * *
The G Company Fish are showing
their appreciation for the many
kindnesses and favors shown them by
planning a sure enough banquet for.
the old boys Friday night. They are
endeavoring to pull it off in the old
G Company style and from present
indications it would be a prudent
plan to invite Mr. Sbisa and give
him a line-up on a real feed.

We know Christmas is coming for
the following reason: “Fish Rob-
berts hung his sock on Sophomore
Turner’s Christmas tree, with the fol
lowing note: ‘Deere Santy, pleze
fill this container full of good wishes
for all my Profs, and Sophomore
friends.’ ”

Fish Shifflett of Company D, after
thoroughly discussing the matter
with his friends, has kindly asked
for a definition of “love”. Fish
Hiles says he wouldn’t have to ask
such delicate questions had he been
in Waco after the 10-0 victory we
handed those “Bears”.
* * *
John Moore of D Company was the
only man playing on the Scrubs who
was able to carry the ball for a
touchdown while fighting against the
Aggie heroes. Incidentally, this
same Johnny won the individual
competitive drill some few days ago.
You better watch that boy.
* * *
Now that company football has
commenced, C-D is in for the sweat
ers, having such an aggregation of
‘■ball material old D, X. would, bo
proud of. Come to think about it,
though, C-D always did put out a
pennant-winning bunch and the ma
terial this year is the best ever.

Signal Corps Review
The rooms of Mitchell Hall are
now connected by foot-messenger
service, telephone lines, buzzer
lines, radiator pipes, and drain pipes.
Wireless and T.P.S. are being con
sidered.

At a meeting of the football men
in Companies E and F it was decided
that the two companies would play
in conjunction during the company
football season. Brown was elected
captain and manager.
* * *
The Fish of A. S. C. have planned
to give a banquet in honor of the
upper classmen next Friday night at
the Shirley hotel. We are coming to
realize that the Fish of this com
pany are living up to their standard.
* * *
The company grades revealed a
military genius in E Company. This
modern Napoleon is none other than
Crabby Davis whose average was
64 per cent perfect. He is little and
doesn’t need a very large grade. If
you need any advice ask him.
❖ * *
Fish Lyle displayed some very
stunning football stunts in the game
last Sunday. He pulled off some
very good trick plays which proved
verry successful to the opponents.
❖ * *
News has been spread that the
world is coming to an end this week.
Fish Wyche has only one objection
to this. He is afraid he won’t be
able to finish his college career.
* * *
Captain Heard: “Right dress!
Jew, move back on your feet.”
Jew Enersburg. “Please, captain,
those feet belong to Sergeant Lewis
what closes the file.”
* * *
A noticeable change has suddenly
come over Capt. R. A. Harris. A
letter from Boston began: “I’m
coming home Christmas.” That is
explanation enough.
* * *
Fish Cronoe was disappointed the
other night because the Drawing and
Dumping Society failed to upset his
bed in the small hours of the morn
ing.
* * * -
Sunday afternoon on Kyle Field
the Fish team of Co. C., S. C., de
feated the Fish team of C. A In
fantry having the much superior
team.

About the Banking Business
Member of S. C. Bull Pen: “Why
does McManus know so much about
the Federal Reserve Act?”
Murphy: “One reason is he has
had practical experience at home. Ho
used to bank the horse lot against
the garden fence for his Dad.”
