THE BATTALION
ARTILLERY AND SIGNAL CORPS
PLAY 7 TO 7 TIE
Last Sunday the Signal Corps met
the Artillery on Kyle Field in the
Company football game. The Artil
lery eame on the field sur e of an
easy victory and boosting - its abil
ity in the line of the pigskin skill.
They were sure that the Signal
Corps would get one of the worst
defeats they had ever seen. The
Signal Corps kept quiet about their
ability, but were sur e that they would
give the Artillery one of the hardest
fights ever witnessed on that field.
Enthusiasm ran high amongst the
Battery “Birds” when their team
scored the first touchdown and kick
ed the goal. The Signal Corps light
line was unable to hold the heavy
plunges of the Artillery for a time
and they forced the pigskin over the
goal line. So far scored on, but not
beaten, the Signal Corps fought
hard and came back as a new team
in the second half. Fish Walker of
the Signal Corps added much sor
row to the Artillery’s happiness by
catching a forward pass for a gain
of twenty yards, and then Alle?!
making another gain within one yard
of the goal line on another pass.
Murray then put all his life into the
play and forced the ball across the
line. The goal was kicked, and the
Battery’s supreme moment had fal
len. Although the Artillery had the
Signal Corps outweighed by a num
ber of points they showed no superi
ority in the knowledge of the game.
The speed of Fish Walker did much
in keeping the punts out of the dan
ger zone by getting the man in his
tracks. Niebuhr’s line plunging did
much havoc in the Signal Corps line
and was the chief object in the scor
ing of the Artillery.
PANHANDLE CLUB MEETS
The Panhandle Club met Sunday
afternoon in a special meeting - cal
led by the president. The meeting
was well attended by club members.
Important business was transacted,
and plans discussed for furthering
the interests of A. and M. in the
Panhandle and for getting a larger
number of representatives from this
part of the state, in school. We re
alize that almost six hundred miles
separate thes e two sections of the
state and that climatic and physical
conditions are widely different in the
two. But we believe in A. and M.
and in our section of the state, and
are sure that the conditions of each
can be made to harmonize with the
other.

The Power of Electricity
in Transportation
Some Advantages of
Railroad Electrification
Saving the Nation’s coal
Lower maintenance costs.
Greater reliability and fewer
delays.
Ability to haul smoothly
heavier trains at higher
speed.
Operation of electric locomo
tives unaffected by extreme
cold.
Ability to brake trains on
descending grades by re
turning power to the trolley.
'P'LECTRICITY has leveled out
the Continental Divide. The
steam locomotive, marvelous as it is
after a century of development, can
not meet all of the present demandsfor
transportation facilities. Its electric
rival has proved to be far superior.
On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway—the world’s greatest elec
trification—giant electric locomotives
today lift an ever increasing freight
tonnage over the mile-high Rockies
and also make traveling clean and
comfortable. They utilize the abun
dant energy of distant waterfalls and
then, by returning some of this
power to the trolley, safely brake the
trains on descending grades. And
their capabilities are not impaired
by excessively cold weather when the
Steam engine is frozen and helpless.

Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York City’s
subway and elevated systems. It
operates the locks and tows the ships
through the Panama Canal. It pro
pels the Navy’s latest super-dread-
naught, the New Mexico. Electric
mine locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving mule and the electric
automobile has also come to do an im
portant service. Such achievements
were made possible by the extensive
research and manufacturingactivities
of the General Electric Company.
Electricity has become the universal
motive power. It has contributed
efficiency and comfort to every form
of transportation service and in this
evolution General Electric apparatus
has played a large part — from
mighty electric locomotives to
the tiny lamp for the automobile.

Club in the near future were per
fected in this meeting.
Probably it has not occurred to
some people that the practice of hav-
in the entire corps remain seated in
the Mess Hall until given permission
to rise causes a great deal of in
convenience. The period after din
ner and supper could be better spent
in a few minutes of recreation and
would also give time for a little re
view before classes.
Company G had an old time pep
meeting on the fourth floor of Good
win Hall Monday night. Plans were
discussed to help the company spirit
up and also a week’s end camp was
suggested. G Company is looking
forward to copping the highest per
centage of subscriptions to the Long
horn and thus maintaining her rep
utation as a leader in College activ
ities.
During these hard times we often
think that music is not the only sub
ject taught by the Dunning system.
