THE BATTALION
BASKET BALL MEN NOW
ON ROAD AFTER FINALS

gies are concerned, the champion
ship of the Southwestern Conference
in Basket Ball. Should they win a
majority of the games on this trip it
will certainly place them in a better
position to cop the pennant than any
other conference team.
The Longhorns got off with a rath
er bad start and lost one to the Mus
tangs, but are going at a fast clip
now and the Aggies are certain to
meet with hard sledding in Austin
Friday and Saturday nights. In
Dallas, basket ball fans will doubtless
see two of the fastest games ever
staged in that city when the Aggies
and the Mustangs meet, since should
the S. M. U. five drop both or even
one of the games it will practically
eliminate them from any claim on
championship honors, and then too
they remember the two defeats hand
ed them here last week, and will be
fighting not only for revenge but to
stay up in the running. On the
other hand the Aggies need these
games to strengthen their claim on
the conference title, thus it is seen
that a fierce battle will be staged.
When the Aggies travel to Waco
for two games with the Baylor Bears
they should not, unless the Bears have
made a wonderful improvement, ex
perience a lot of trouble. It will,
however, be recalled that the Baylor
five sprung a surprise on the Aggies
last year and gave them the defeat
that cost a Championship.
After six road games the Aggies
return to College where they close
the season by meeting the Longhorns
on February 20 and 21 and the Owls

We have been re?l camp took a de-
Doug’s latest is farce comedy of
the variety which made him famous
back in the old Triangle days. It
opens with a subtitle and some
scenes which lead you to believe that
the story is to be taken seriously,
but which later is found to have been
used only to make plausible the
stunts which the star executes and to
excuse superstition in a man.
Inside of five minutes Doug is in
the midst of a continuing series of
his kind of athletic stunts and for
fully four reels the picture keeps up
its farce comedy tempo with a laugh
in every foot of film. It then slows
down long enough to allow Frank
Campeau to bring on the plot, same
being of the w.k. idea of the villain
trying to trim the heroine’s father
out of valuable oil property, with the
hero being falsely accused, etc., and
then gets a running start for an
other couple °f thousand feet of still
better athletic action and convinc
ing mechanical effects, which wind
up with a flood which would make
Noah green with envy. “After the
clouds roll by” Doug is discovered
up a tree, with his lady fair float
ing down toward him on the roof of
an uprooted house.
He then changes his temporary
residence to the approaching roof,
there to explain that all the trouble,
including the flood, which we will
suppose was of the villain’s planning.
This done, a church with a parson
clinging to the steeple comes floating
by a rl the knot is about to be tied
as the last scene fades out.

tor are entitled to full credit for
producing a picture which will stand
as a masterpiece of its kind for many

Proof Positive !
In a twenty-year test to de
termine the value of various
sources of Nitrogen, the New
Jersey Experiment Station
found “that crop yields and
the percentage of Nitrogen
rccooeren in the crop were greater
when nitrates were used,”
Official figures are:
“If we assign to Nitrate
Nitrogen a value of 100, then
the relative availability of the
four materials stands as fol
lows:
Nitrate of Soda 100.0
Ammonium Sulphate 70.1
Dried Blood 02.0
Manure 52.4
The details of this important
research were published in
“Soil Science.” Send for copy.

People come to our dances and are
gone many times before their
friends know that they have been on
the Campus. When we have a foot
ball game we publish information
lists for our guests. Why can’t
someone publish a list of the guests
at our dances? Let each student
submit the name of his guest or
guests, then have published along
side his name. This list could be
distributed on the day of the dance
and everyone would know if any of
his friends were on the campus, and
would be able to find them by look
ing up the student whom they were
visiting . If not this make use of
the Bulletin or Battalion.
Mr. Ivan W. Barber, a well-known
member of the Senior Class, was an
nounced to society at the picture
show in Bryan last Saturday night
while in company with one of Bryan’s
charming young ladies. Mr. Bar
ber is to be admired for his audacity
in coming into society so late in the
year. His friends wish him every
success in his social activities and
feel assured that he will soon prove
to be the lion at every occasion.
It’s really pathetic to watch the
Bolsheviki boys up in Goodwin run

for their beds.
