THE BATTALION
bocker was sighted at quarter as the
first formation was made, and the
names of other veterans of last year’s
contests were called and hailed as the
game started.
Truly it may be said that A. and M.
turned out for this first game and as a
general work-out to describe the event
thrilling would be better than excit
ing. On the field were the letter men
of whom the outcome of the South
west Conference depended practicing
against those men who will later
shoulder the same responsibility.
“Red” Thompson had Catfish’s place
and the corps responded with their
best. The band gave everything it
had. Everybody was there. Presi
dent Bizzell displayed a degree of ab
sorption as if oblivious to the faet-
that a housing problem or Junior
banquet ever existed.
Mahan and Weir were the individ
ual stars. In the last quarter of the
game Mitchell kicked 50 yds to Ma
han who by doing some sensational
side-stepping and stiff-arming, ran 90
yards for a touchdown. And again
near the end of the game Mitchell
kicked 55 yards, and Mahan return
ed 50 yards. At this point Beasley
replaced Mahan, who left the field
almost in the same condition he start
ed the game in. Also in the last
quarter Carruthers caused Beckum to
fumble and Weir recovered and raced
70 yards for a touchdown. Knicker
bocker showed superior leadership at
quarter. And with Morris and San
ders as close seconds we feel sure that
this position will be well filled.
Gouger played a fast- game at end as
did Wilson on the other extremity.
In Drake and Bob Carruthers we feel
honored in having in our estimation
the best tackle in the Conference.
Murrah made a number of good plays
and is a tower of strength for the
Aggie line.
For the Freshmen, Mitchell was the
individual star. He gained consider
ably and he also kicks and passes
well. Fargason played a consistent
game at full as did Johnson at end.
Cunningham and Tom also played a
good game. Evans played a consis
tent game as an end.
The Corps showed some of the old
time pep for which the A. and M. Col
lege is famous, and we have the feel
ing that Red Thompson has something
up his sleeve that will be sprung on
us in the near future.
BRYAN BUSINESS HOUSES
WILL CLOSE FOR ONE GAME
At its regular meeting Tuesday the
Bryan Chamber of Commerce heart
ily endorsed the proposition of clos
ing all stores in Bryan at 2 p. m. on
November 15, the day of the A. and
M.-Rice football game here, thus af
fording an opportunity for all to wit
ness this contest. Dr. Bizzel has given
assurance that a half holiday at the
College would be given which will
give the students an opportunity to
entertain their many out-of-town
friends who will be on hand for this
great contest.
This will be the first time in the
history of the two institutions that a
football team representing Rice In
stitute ever appeared on Kyle Field
and it is simply up to both the Bryan
and College people, as well as the foot
ball team, to give them a great wel
come on November 15, 1920.
The Bryan merchants, as a rule, are
this year responding freely to re
quests to purchase athletic coupon
books and this season will find the ma
jority of them witnesses of our ath
letic games at College. In the next
issue of The Battalion will be pub
lished a complete list of all merchants
who purchased coupon books. The
Battalion believes it expresses the full
sentiment of the student body when
it states that they appreciate very
much the fine spirit the good people
of Bryan have always shown and are
now showing in the way of supporting
their activities here at College.
SAN ANTONIO CLUB REORGAN
IZES AND ELECTS OFFICERS.
The San Antonio Club met for the
first time this year on September
24th.
The San Antonio Club has been in
existence at A. and *M. for many
years, and has been a dominant fac
tor in representing the interests of
the city after which it was named.
The meeting opened with a roll call
of 60 members of the approximately
70 men from San Antonio attending
the institution. The president ex
plained to the Freshmen that the pur
poses of the club were to promote
social activities at A. and M. and to
represent San Antonio possibilities
of aiding A. and M. It was explained
that in order to be a member of the
society it was not necessary for a
person to be living in San Antonio
at the present time but that natives
or one time residents of the city have
the privilege of joining. After discus
sion of a social affair to be given in
the near future, the president intro
duced the new officers elected last
year to act in their respective ca
pacities for this college year: Presi
dent, Bill King; Vice-President, C. R.
Clark; Secretary, W. L. Bradshaw;
Treasurer, J. W. Martin; Reporter, H.
C. Simon; Sergeant-at-Arms, S J.
Kemper. The meeting was then ad
journed until next month.
