TODDA FORBES
CAPTAIN OF R. V.

erbocker was not used in any further
games that season or year. He play
ed two years at Southwestern after he
became eligible and then came to A.
and M. The first year he was here
he was ineligible on account of the
one year transfer rule. Last season
he was an outstanding figure on the
A. and M team. That made his three
years. Saturday the conference ruled
that the one game in 1915 should count
as a year’s participation making his
allotted four years in inter-collegiate
athletics.
The A. and M. representatives con
tended that inasmuch as he was in
eligible in 1915, had not signed an
eligibility card and the S. U. author
ities assumed full responsibility for
his being played erroneously that the
game in question should not be count
ed as a year’s participation. Con
ference rules are that if a man plays
only a minute in one contest he has
nevertheless participated and that that
participation counts as a year in in
ter-collegiate athletics. Oklahoma A.
and M., Rice, Baylor, and Texas Uni
versity voted against the motion of
Dr. Wellman of Phillips University
that Knickerbocker be declared el
igible. Dr. J. S. McIntosh of S. M. U.,
chairman of the conference announced
that should a tie result and h« be al
lowed to vote that he would vote for
his eligibility.
All questions as to eligibility urged
by Baylor, Oklahoma A. and M. and
Southern Methodist University were
voted on adversely by the Conference.
The policy as determined Saturday
was for a strict adherence to tech-
v dities and the letter of the law
richer than to the spirit. A. and M.
urged that the function of the Con
ference was to rectify or adjust the
angles of protection to athletics and
yet insure justice to players. A. and
M. was in the minority on that score.
Coach Rix of S. M. U., coach at
Southwestern at the time of the game
in 1915 was present and made a state
ment in which he argued that Knick
erbocker be declared eligible.
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
OF M. S. AND T. AR
RIVES AT A. AND M.
Captain Horne, F. A., Now With Mil
itary Department
Captain Chalmers D. Horne, Field
Artillery, with Mrs. Horne, has ar
rived' at College Station where they
will make their home on the Campus.
Captain Home will be an Assistant
Professor of Military Science and Tac
tics.
Captain Home comes to A. and M.
from El Paso where he has been on
duty with the 82nd Field Artillery
His home is in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Captain informed a representa
tive of The Battalion that he was
much impressed with the spirit and
pep of the corps. He is a college man
himself and states that the noise at
yell practice reminds him very much
of the days he spent at Auburn. Ac
cording to his judgment, “Red”
Thompson is an ideal yell leader and
has an able staff of assistants. The
Captain is highly pleased with his new
station.
The Corps and the Campus people
welcome the Captain and Mrs. Home
to A. and M.

dent body and by all who are interest
ed in A. and M. Under their leader
ship the R. V.’s should enjoy one of
the greatest years in their history.
Sunday afternoon the newly elected
members were initiated into the or
ganization. After the ceremonies the
old members formed a receiving line
to each exit and gave the recruits
warm welcomes of emphatic nature.
A new phase of the initiation was the
fee. In the past it has always been
the custom for new men to buy out
the Campus Confectionery for the ben
efit of those who were already R. V.’s.
This little form of indoor sport was in
the nature of a raid by the old men
and the total charges which were us
ually considerable were against the
new men. Beginning with this year
this practice ceases and the initiation
fee provides benefits to old and new
men by going towards the R. V. Hop
in the spring.
Much embarrassment resulted from
the number of typographical errors in
The Daily Bulletin through no fault of
the editor. However, the final and
correct list of new members is as fol

Natural Affinities.
“There seems,” a Northerner once
observed to Senator Morris Shep
pard, of Texas, “there seems to be a
strange affinity between a colored man
and a chicken.”
“There’s nothing strange about it,”
smiled Sheppard. “One is descended
from Ham and the other from eggs.”
Nothing Doing.
“Can I interest you in an attach
ment for your typewriter?” asked the
agent as he entered the office.
“No chance,” growled the manager.
“I’m still paying alimony on the
strength of the attachment I had for
my last typewriter.”
