6 THE BATTALION REVIEW OF THE ’19 TRACK TEAM SHOWS WINNERS (Continued from Page 1) April 25 the Orange and white track team came to College for a meet. As usual, the A. and M. men were full of pep and showed what they were all through the meet. In this meet Heinie Weir’s campus didn t effect him and he was our high point man, winning two first and one sec ond place, winning both the dashes. Other first places were won by Hugon, Alexander, Ehlert and Neu man. The meet was a close contest from start to finish. A. and M. stayed in the lead by one or two points most all the time. The relay decided the meet. The Orange and White were the lucky ones. Follow ing is the results of the meet: A. and M. 54. U. of T. 63. Weir—1st 100 yd., 10; 1st 220 yd., 23; 2nd broad jump, 20’ 6”— 13 points. Alexander—1st javelin, 137’; 2nd shot put, 35’ 5 1-2”—8 points. Patterson—2nd 880 yds.; 2nd mile—6 points.

Oklahoma U. easily won the meet. Following are the results: A. and M.—9 1-2. Oklahoma U.—78. U. of T.—38. Oklahoma A. and M.—8. S. M. U.—16. Rice—13. Baylor—5 1-2.

In the spring of 1917 Jack Ma han was elected captain of the track team for the next year. On account of the war Eddy didn’t come back to College, which made it necessary to elect a new captain. “Hungary” Jonas was the lucky man. On May the 20th, the athletic council gave a barbecue for the base ball and track men of the past sea son. At this meeting captains for these two sports were chosen. Lee Hugon was elected to pilot the cin der path men the following year. Under his leadership we are sure that we will have a championship team. Hugon had several cramps but ran gamely in every meet. He was higV point man for the year’s work, win ning 21 points, and we feel sure that he will make a high point winner for next year’s team. Letters were awarded as follows: “T’s” H. F. Jonas, hurdles, relay. S. Alexander, shot put, javelin. Hugon, 100, 220, 440. B. B. Patterson, 880, mile. Calvin Weir, 100, 220, broad jump. O. H. Frazier, hurdles, javelin. “T”-Second R. M. Landon, pole vault. V. O. Neeuman, shot put, discus throw. Geo. Millard, high jump. R. J. Ehlert, shot put, discus throw. J. M. Reynolds, 1 mile, 2 miles. Harry Hoag, 1 mile, 880, 2 milei* CASUALS DEFEAT AB FOR COMPANY CHAMPIONSHIP The powerful Casual Company frotball team, representing the Sons or Rest, easily defeated AB for the Company Championship Sunday af ternoon. The score was 12-0. From the minute the first whistle blew, there was never a doubt as to the winners of the game. The Casuals played hard, clean football throughout, ran excellent inter ference and showed a decided su periority in team work and endur ance. On the other hand, AB fum bled frequently and showed a lack of condition. Captain McQuillen, Bailey, Wendt, Wilson and Stansfield were the out standing performers for the Casuals; while Winn, Simpson, Franke and Cunningham starred for AB. The feature of the game was the all- around work of McQuillen. His punting and passing were excellent, while his ground gaining was a large factor in winning the game. Immediately after the game the following men of the Casual team were awarded sweaters: Paul Cof fin, Frank Coffin, Dick Furman, Ed Furman, Sanders, Wendt, Patillo, Sullivan, Denny, Stansfield, McQuil lan, Wilson, Doherty, Livingston and Wolverton.

Infantry: “My dear and most respected sir: I send you this your heart to stir. It’s you I’ve chosen first of all On whom to make my leap-year call. I’ve given you the foremost chance, That you may make a full advance. Your heart and hand I ask “not in jest”, And hope you’ll grant my fond re quest. Send me back without delay, Your answer saying, “yea or nay.” But if your heart does not incline In wedlock to join with mine, Then you must leap-year’s law obey, And to me the price of a silk frock pay. You may think this letter funny, But I must have men or money. So, kind sir, send your reply; Send it quick or sure I die. If you think me dandy. Send me Jacob’s candy. If the writer’s hand you guess. Send reply to her address. P. S.—If for me there is no hope, Send me sixteen feet of rope. A Silent Admirer. ALL COMPANY GAME SATUR DAY AFTERNOON Saturday afternoon at 2:30 foot ball teams coached by Jack Mahan and “Woodrow” Wilson will play for the all-company silver footballs.

The men representing Mithan’s club are: Legg, L.own, Dillingham, Japour, Smith, Joe Brown, Wendt, Patillo, Ogie, Real, Maxwell, Sartain, Meitzen Me Char ity, Franke, Neibuhr, Beasley, Riggs, A LEAP YEAR LETTER for Dear Sweetheart: Your home is much too large one But just the size for two. Suppose I fix it up real cute And I’ll keep house for you— You’ve been alone too long, my dear, I know you lonesome are, Let’s take a wedding tour this year Aboard a small Ford car. A bachelor you will surely be If you do not marry me— If I should take your hands in mine, And yet I’m rather slow. And ask you if you’d marry me. Would you say yes or no? They say two hearts can beat as one; Can yours keep time with mine? If so we’ll take our wedding tour Before next year this time. It’s dangerous to go down life’s Alone this kind of weather, So let me slip my hand in yours. And we’ll walk down together. —An Ardent Admirer. hill OVER SUPPLY OF CORPORALS Foster, (reporting for sixth squad) “One private and two cor porals absent, sir.” He put his arm around her waist.

If you happen to see a chain suspended from the shoulder button into a pocket of one of our officers, don’t ask the mean ing because mystery leads to en chantment as our C. I. A. friends say and we should worry whether jt is the insignia of laurels won in the battle of R.O.T.C., S. A. T. C. or Fort Sheridan. Rumors are out that it is only supporting the two above mentioned articles, namely, a com pass and whistle, which articles are so necessary in soldiering. Would that the Sons of Rest be allowed to wear a piece of lead as a medal. Commemorating the act of March 1919, which says two years of mil itary training is sufficient.
