FARMERS PLUCK OWL FEATH- .
ERS IN SECOND OF SERIES
Owls Again Defeated 28-10
Not content with administering
one crushing defeat to the Ri< o
quint the Aggie five repeated the
performance Saturday night at the
City Auditorium before the largest
crowd ever present at a basketball
game in Houston. The game was
rather poorly played owing to the
extreme smoothness of the floor and
to the unusual size of the court. The
“slickness” of the floor hampered
the speed of the A. and M. men while
the size of the court winded the Owls
and forced them to drop back and
play a strictly defensive game. As
on the preceding night the Aggies
were masters at every department
of the game and after the first five
minutes of play the result was easfiy
foreseen.
Williams started the fireworks with
a long goal from midfield. W^i^jjae
g^ge^ thus broken, McQuillen
corralled and with this lead the
hustling Farmers were never headed.
The Aggie captain duplicated his
work of the night before by scoring
five field goals and with Forbes
closely guarded was the highest in
dividual scorer. Rice soon gav e up
attempts to work the ball up under
the goal for sure shots and the Owl
forwards contented themselves with
fruitless pegging at the basket from
midfield. Ehlert the A. and M. for
ward, got into the game in the sec
ond half, for the first since his re
cent attack of the “flu”. His reap
pearance will strengthen the Red and
White lineup, although Williams has
been filling the vacancy to perfec
tion. Score 28-10.

THE PREP SCHOOL CHAMPION
SHIP
The A. and M.-Texas games of
prep school basketball were played
in the Kyle Field Gymnasium Friday
and Saturday nights when Allen
Academy battled with Terrill School
of Dallas. Allen proved true to the
raising of A. and M., and won both
games.
The first gam e was hotly contested
and ended 24 to 18. The excellent
passing of Terrill and the luck of
Allen in ringing goals were the out
standing features. The excellent
work of the Terrill guards, Touch
stone and Harris (Capt.), and that of
Steele (Capt.) and Bailey for Al
len stood out prominently.
In the second game Allen had
everything going their way. Rowson
was right and made baskets from ail
angles and positions. Big Bailey’s
bulk was too much for the smaller
Terrill boys and many attacks fell
shoi’t of the goal. The cool-headed
guarding and accurate passing of
“Little Touch” and the fine running
game of Captain Harris was much in
evidence for a second time. This
game ended 26 to 13.
The rivalry between A. and M.
men supporting Terrill and the Al
len delegation was the cause of
much yelling. Although defeated in
both games, the Terrill boys will al
ways remember the fine treatment
accorded them here.
WILD ROSE OF TEXAS.
The Wild Rose of Texas to me is
sweeter far
Than the shamrock or thistle or
other flowers are;
Modest is this rose and sweeter than
the dew
Dreaming in the sunlight beneath
the heaven blue.
Dainty are your petals which are
kissed by the breeze
That conies stealing gently from over
land and seas;
You blush into sweetness and breathe
upon the air
A breath of enchantment, a fragrance
sweet and rare.
^'he dearest Rose of Texas is sweet-
The breezes are eager her dainty
cheeks to kiss;
And were I the breezes, I never would
depart
From my Wild Rose of Texas, the
dearest to my heart.
One day while seated beneath the elm
tree’s bough,
I told her of my love and made a
solemn vow:
“I’ll never love another, I never shall
agree
To claim a bonny lover, but thee,
only thee.”
She arose so queenly and smiled into
my face,
Clasped my hands so gently with rare
becoming grace,
That, as she stood there, I, kneeling
at her feet.
Could only whisper softly, “Aren't
the Roses sweet?”
—W. J. Gayden.
THE SONG OF THE FLUNKER
I live to watch the students pass,
And to their classes hurry;
I shuffle slowly to my class,
My motto’s “I should worry.”
I will not tax my tired brain
With hours of beastly study;
No school for me when there is rain,
Or when the walks are muddy.
I loathe the bugle’s raucous calls
That summon us to classes;
I’d rather linger in the halls,
With Experiment Station lasses.
And so I’m happy, carefree, slow;
Naught bothers me, whatever;
The Fish may come, and Seniors go,
But I stay on forever.
—M. R. Marsh.
