8 THE BATTALION RESULT OF TENNIS TOURNA MENT ANNOUNCEMENT. (Continued from Page 1) Stansfield defeated Mayo 6-2; 6-3. Welsh defeated Armstrong _6-2; 6-2. Close defeated Neely 6-1; 6-2. Daniel defeated Orme 6-2; 6-0. Bailiff defeated Gieseke 6-0; 6-0. Milner defeated Nabours 8-6; 6-3. West defeated Smith 6-0; 6-1. When this tournament has been finished a squad of from 12 to 16 men will be selected by the coach and two courts behind the Shirley Annex will be reserved for them. Only singles will be played for some time and record will be kept of each man on a percentage basis, rather than by elimination. The Executive Committee has de cided that only paid up members of the Tennis Association will have the privilege of playing on the courts now under the management of and being maintained by the Association. The Association has secured com plete control of the courts behind the Shirley Annex and those west of the Y. M. C. A. and through its organiz ed efforts has been able to maintain these courts in good playing condi tion. Arrangements are being made for a dual meet with Baylor University and it is hoped that the Association will be able to bring this school here sometime in April. C. E. SOCIETY GIVES SMOKER A Good Time Was Had By All On last Monday night the Civii Engineering Society collected avail able funds and gave a smoker in the C. E. Building, The menu consisted of Cleopa- tras, Favorites, Australio Heimalias, Canyocs (Callege variety), and Psendimonous Rodicicakii. From the way the members partook of the menu and from the general senti ment expressed, it is established that the affair was a success. Cleopatras Favorites seemed to be a rather strong species and sent some of our members home groggy, but the ma jority managed to hold their own and the supply diminished very rap idly. The program consisted of several talks led by Ike Ashburn. The talks were of a varied nature and gave promise of extreme in terest when adjournment was finally necessary. Among the stars of the evening A. B. Knickerbocker deserves espec ial mention on his ability as an or ator. The C. E. Society has big plans worked out for the future and in tends to develop a strong organiza tion. The Department of Electrical En gineering is contemplating or rather planning to inaugurate an inter-col legiate news service by radio. Fur nished with the names of a good many college publications, together with the names and addresses of editors, communication could be es tablished and the latest up-to-the- minute dope and news could be handed out. We are thrilled with the idea and hope to see it in opera tion before very long. M. W. A. Tolson is the instigator and firmly believes that such a scheme could be carried out to perfection. The Bat is heartily in favor and only requests to be first in line in the news re ceived. JUNIOR BANQUET HELD TUES DAY WITHOUT MISHAP (Continued from Page 1) several entrances at once was exe cuted with the result that under cov er of darkness those in the rear were successful—and here success was the prime requisite because this fight de cided the victor. None seem to know just how it all came about, etc., but the fact remains that he was rushed in—this distinguished person age being Mr. Bill King of San An tonio, Texas, and newspaper fame— magazines included. History of the case tells us he has been a traveling man for the past week but returned early Monday morning in a car with wings—that’s the way the Sophs tell it—because of its ability to climb over a pile of cross ties. The Sophomore class is to be con gratulated upon the splendid spirit shown in time of defeat and also in their movement of “airing ’em out” which was as complete and thorough as there other actions which have characterized their campaign. The program of the banquet in cluded besides talks by members of the class, a song by Miss Lovell and music by Holick’s Novelty Orchestra. Aubrey Legg gave a brief resume of the actions or rather a history of the Junior class; W. T. “Tanlac” Strange orated on “Dealing in Futures”;S. C. Evens briefly brought up the ques tion of “Our Senior Year”, and “Red” Thompson ran wild on “The Crime of Labor”. The banquet was completed by 10 o’clock —that is the Juniors part of it. What happened after that needs to be referred to a committee. The Junior class with “Tanlac” Strange as editor will publish an edi tion of The Battalion week after next or April 1st. This promises to be the best ever as such a class should not go unrecognized. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION STUDENTS VISIT BRYAN HIGH SCHOOL In conjunction with the regular class work of the methods of teach ing class of the Agricultural Educa tion Department, visits are being made to the Bryan High School one afternoon every other week for the purpose of observing the different means and methods utilized in the instruction of High School pupils. These classes are composed of men who contemplate accepting positions as teachers of vocational agriculture under the Smith-Hughes Act through out the State and Bryan is the only practical place in which to do all of this observation work. These classes are under the direction of Mr. J. Horace Kraft, associate professor of the department, who has had much expei'ience as a teacher and in exten sion and demonstration work. The superintendent and faculty of the Bryan High School have shown these classes every courtesy and the type of work that is being done there should serve as an incentive to those who recognize good work. Hartwell J. Kennard, 102 Milner, wants to know who it was that com pletely wrecked his bed last Tues day night. His idea of wanting to know is that it is his desire to thank the “guilty one” for placing his suit on the chair so neatly. 666 has proven it will cure Malaria, Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever Colds and LaGrippe. 20 ❖ *:• •f* ❖ ❖ ❖ *:• I ❖ ❖ ❖ ♦f* ❖ Nationally Known in Know Time Bevo has become the best friend of food and fellow ship.
