THE BAT TALION 3 BOTTLE SIDES From the way these flivvers jump cross ties, we would suggest that their names be changed from road lice to grasshoppers. ❖ ❖ ❖ If the Juniors aren’t careful they will find their toastmaster in the sack which they loudly proclaim the Sophomores are holding. WANTED — A job as 1st. ser geant. An ambitions young man.— M. J. J. * * * Some of the horrors of hazing— Capt. Boulden and Lt. Peteet having the Fish assist them in taking off their boots. * * * The Fish say they are afraid to go to the post office for fear that “quarters” will be blown and they will be rammed out of school before they can get back. * * * The suggestion that we read in last week’s Bat namely that the Bat reporters should not be forced to undergo the hardships of reveille, meets with our entire approval. In addition to the debate suggested we would recommend that a general vote be taken and a petition duly submitted to the proper authorities. * * * From current reports we are led to expect a call for aid from the ar tillery Sophs. Spare the rod and spoil the Fish. * * * The Fish on Banquet night: “Some may come and some may go, but I go on forever.” - -Speaking of desirable things, how would it suit your compoterosity to rip open a letter from one of Broad way’s spiffiest little stars that read something like this: “I am home sick for one of your old time cham pagne suppers. Before beginning rehearsals I think I shall join you for a little mountain air. You may ex pect me almost any time. I enclose my latest photograph in remember- ance of our quiet little blow-out at Dreamland, July 4. With love and a thousand kisses, I am your own little tootsy-wootsy, Kitty.” Almost as snappy as Kitty herself. But with you is your old maid sister-in-law who is about to give you ten thous and Hebrew ambitions because of your aversion to the stage, especially the side entrance thereof. And then a young up-start from Yale swipes the above letter and photograph and threatens to expose you to the pur itanical sister-in-law unless you con sent to his marriage to your ward, whereby you will lose another ten thousand. You’d probably feel like a man up the old creek without a paddle And, to cap it all, Kitty arrives— and thereby hangs the tale. You may have to get out of just such a predicament some day before you settle down to that quiet existence with the wife and children. Wil liam Winkler handles the situation rather nervily in “The Arrival of Kitty,” to be presented by the Dra matic Club, April 6. Prof. Brackett, who is directing, promises a produc tion better than even the senior play of last year. P. S.—The feminine roles will be played by imported feminine talent. Listen, fellows, do you realize that it is less than a month until the R. V. dances? Remember this all-im portant time of much joy, and get that date. Who was it made the re mark, “That he who waits will hold the sack”? AGGIES TO PLAY TEN GAMES HERE The 1920 Baseball Schedule Contains Twenty-Two Games, Only Twenty are Intercollegiate.
