THE BATTALION
3
WRESTLERS WORKING HARD.
The wrestling candidates are round
ing into great form and the first in
tercollegiate match in the history of
Texas A. and M. Athletics will be a
meet at Austin on April 24th. The
following men have been working
faithfully under Coach Jones for the
last six weeks and the improvement
has been wonderful: King, Sanders,
Gardner, Hilton, Maxwell, Garrison,
Boone, Fletcher, Ashworth, Purdue,
Roland, Miller, Smith, McLeary, Ram
sey, and Kubena. The final tryout
for these men will be on April 17th
immediately after which time the
team will be picked to go to Austin
for a meet with the Longhorns the
following Saturday. The tryout on
the 17th in conjunction with the box
ing will be held at Bryan so that Bry
an people as well as the cadets will
get an opportunity to see the calibre
of the men who are to uphold A. and
M.’s colors on the mat.
All weight classes are represented
in the 15 men and it is simply a
question of training and practice
from now until the first meet. If
conditions warrant the same, Texas
University will come to A. and M.
for a return engagement on May 3rd.
A YEAR AGO.
There was a time in my young life
When I could stand the constant strife
Of chasing cooties up my spine,
As in the mud I lay supine
And fought them off with tooth and
toe;
Oh, how I itched a year ago!
There was a time when I could stand
-Te—eat my_sirloins neatly canned,
And drink my java from' a tin
That once had antiseptics in;
How many flies, I’ll never know,
Fell in my slum—a year ago!
There was a time when I’d arise
Before the dawn had touched the skies
And, ah, with what unseemly haste
I fought to get my trousers laced.
You folks at home will never know,
For that was all a year ago!
There was a time when I’d salute
And make it snappy for a “loot.”
I’d cringe before a hard-boiled “top,”
Or peel potatoes for a wop
Who loved grease like an Eskimo
When on K. P. a year ago.
LITTLE GOLD CHEVRONS
Little gold chevrons on my cuffs,
What do you mean to me?
“We to the left mean hike and drill,
Trenches and mud and heat and
chill—
And I to the right for the blood ye
spill
Where the Marne runs to the sea.”
Little gold chevrons on my cuffs.
What is the tale you tell?
“We to the left of the long months
spent
Where the somber seasons slowly
blent—
And I to the right, of the ragged
rent
That took so long to get well.”
Little gold chevrons on my cuffs,
What do you say to me?
“That ye not trade us, master mine,
For ribbons or cross or rank, in
fine
That you are ours and we are thine
Through all the years to be.”
—Erwin Clarkson Garrett.
More than 400 students of the
freshmen and sophomore classes of
Clemson College (South Carolina)
“struck” and departed on special
trains, according to a press dispatch,
as a protest against certain restric
tions imposed on a cadet who rebelled
against “kitchen police.”
The girls at Milwaukee Normal
School are taking an active interest
in the science of “Leap Year propos
als.” They have leaped to the Leap
Year opportunity en masse, and their
study of “how to pop” may change
the course of many lives. Boys—be
ware!
The University of Kansas, which
has had in the past one of the most
successful examples of student gov
ernment, have recently voted to have
two governing bodies hereafter in
stead of one, the two to co-ordinate
as the two houses of a legislature.
The students at Dartmouth recent
ly refused to adopt the Honor Sys
tem by a vote of 578 to 436. Students
at Columbia University have recent
ly been debating this same question.
“One-third of the college students
go to the devil; one-third are just
average; and one-third rule the
world.”

What I did then I won’t do now,
I’m darned particular as to chow;
I get up when I dang well please
And get into my cits with ease;
I wouldn’t salute my own C. O.,
For I was discharged a month ago!

There are games that make you hap-
py,
There are games that make you sad
There are games that cheer the
bleachers
And a few that make ’em glad;
There are games of brilliant playing
That occasionally you see,
But the best, no matter how you
won it,
Is the game that’s a victory.
