HOLMES BROS. THIRD BATTALION DEFEATS THE ARTILLERY 14-0 The Artillery possessing an impos ing array of speed merchants bowed to defeat at the hands of the line- plunging Third Battalion aggregation on the Fish gridiron Sunday. The Ar tillerymen came back strong after their recent defeat and played a strong defensive game against the aggressive Infantrymen. The Infantrymen’s first tally came as a result of a blocked kick when Crawford recovered on the Artillery’s own eight yard line. Fra zier carried it over in a series of three plunges, but was called back for off side, but duplicated his feat a minute later, then kicked goal. Beazley set the Gunner Stands in an uproar when he circled right end for thirty yards only to be downed on the three yard line. Here the Third Battalion’s line strengthened and the Artillerymen lost their only chance to score when the ball went over on downs. In the last quarter, Buckner played havoc with the Gunner’s line and carried the ball half the length of the field on con secutive line plunges, however, the Artillery stiffened on their own eight yard line, but Frazier crashed through for a touchdown and then kicked goal. Frazier did most of the punting for the Infantrymen, and easily had the edge on Harris, but the punts of Nie buhr equalled those of the “Wrong- Footer.” Crawford and Starr played stellar roles as linesmen. The line-up: Third Battalion. Artillery. Mitchell Le Laurin Left End. Crawford Pendleton Left Tackle. Lawson Parish Left Guard. Brown Clark Center Martin Starr Rigt Guard. Steffins Trimble Right Tackle. Crane Webb Right End. Thomas Neibuhr (C) Quarter. Prewitt Harris Left Half. Adams Marshall Right Half. Frazier (C) Beazley Full.

The 158 pound match proved to be the sensation of the evening, and O. H. Frazier of the Infantry, ad ded more to his athletic laurels when he threw Brinkmann of the Cavalry in eight minutes and forty seconds. Brinkmann, though new at the “Grappler’s Game” proved to be a worthy opponent of the experienced ‘“Wrong-Hander” but Frazier’s pol ished mat technique began to assert itself early in the match. Only once did the Cavalryman have “O” in a bad light, but Frazier bridged in pro fessional style, and that was the last of Brinkmann’s tallying on the judg es notebook.

Dey never saves and gits no whar”— Thriftograms (Buy War Savings Stamps.) The Texas Aggie Basketball quin tet moved a notch further along their undefeated route when they took the second game of the series from Simmons College in the local gym Thursday night. From the initial gun the game was fast and hard fought, and the boys from the Pan handle demonstrated they had ab sorbed some of the fine points of the game too. The first half ended in an 8-7 score favoring the Aggies, but early in the second half, A. and M. took the lead by a comfortable mar gin which they held to the last. Af ter playing a wonderful game Cap tain Forbes was forced to retire early in the second half, due to poor condition as a result of his recent ill ness. Jones and Williams, guards, covered the aggressive Simmons for wards in remarkable style. “Pat” Dwyer, playing at center, proved a sensation with his ability to carry the ball the length of the court. Eh- lert and Megarity played their usual stellar game. Collins for the visi tors was easily the star of their team and covered the court like a veteran and the final score was 16 to 12. The Line-up: A. and M.

Referee: Knickerbocker. NOVICE MEET FINALS HELD. “Fish” Harpole of the Artillery secured a fall from Coale of the Sig nal Corps with a wrist lock and a half Nelson aften seven minutes and 20 seconds. Up until the time of the fall the match was even by the point system, but both men seemed a trifle slow and their defensive tac tics were far superior to their offense. Mathis of the Signal Cox'ps won a beautifully executed match from Ashworth of the third Battalion \when he secured a double arm lock and pinned his opponent’s shoulders af ter a hard fought period of 8 min utes and ten seconds. Ashworth, slightly weakened, on account of making weight, staged one of the cleverest defenses ever witnessed on a local mat. On three occasions ;he Rub-My-Tism relieves Rheumatism.

BIG TIME SHOW SCORES GREAT HIT WITH CORPS (Continued From Page 1) lief that they were attacked by their individual appendices, but it was from laughing and not over feeding their tummies; at least for those who mess around at the Mess Hall. But when this same lad sang a peculiar song and drew forth a Filipino pocket knife, boy its a good thing you didn’t know the all of it! There might have been a panic. For the benefit of those who could not appreciate wit, music or dancing, Professor Geist said very little but drew a great deal. He has shown his ability before but never have we seen him go at it so strong as he did. Al though witty of tongue by reputation with due respect. Professor Giest is every bit as witty by hand. The draw ings were always in doubt until the finished product was seen. Speaking for the “Kaydets” we are sorry that so short a time was at hand for we would like to see more of this form of entertainment. To round out a good bill on any amusement circuit is a difficult task. The audience sub-consciously were dubious of whether it was possible to provide a fitting climax for such an excellent bill. However, their fears were ungrounded, for the last act was as good as the others and very ap propriate for a fadeout. Comedy ga lore and of the slap stick sort. Again we had Geo. Fairleigh at the bat with his comical stuff and Miss Lovell to balance him up and several others of very high comedian ability, so with wit and beauty flashing across the stage, the curtain went down on one of the best shows seen here in years, professional or otherwise, by men and women who, though amateurs, per formed in a manner which showed finish and ability which professionals might envy. .
