The Collegiate World Selects Mythical Eleven by New Method—Mention Four Texas Aggies Some how or other the old fever seems to be reviving, although we know there is still a few months be fore the season gets under full sway and the first game is played. Every now and then you can notice the vet eran looking over the old gloye and seeing if it will make another sea son, and kind of feeling the old wing out to see if the kinks of last season have entirely disappeared. The end of the season for the Hot Stove League is about to draw to a close and we have about doped out how we are going to take off the old gong- flong this year in true Aggie fashion. Rumor has it that our reliable Jud Lewis', Captain of last year’s nine is to be back in the fold soon as well as Red Daniels, our stellar pitcher, who, let it be known, struck out the chesty “Beb” Falk on three success ive occasions on the A. and M. field, but who due to illness last year was compelled to quit the diamond and return to his home in order to rest up after a severe attack of pneu monia, and with his going went one of the best bets for the Southwestern Championship. Efforts are being made to have Sentell to coach the team in the spring as he did last year. Sentell is known to all followers of base bail in Texas, as the best umpire in the entire Texas circuit, in fact he was one of the umpires chosen to rep resent the Texas League in the Southern League—Texas League cha!mpionship games between Little Rock of the Southern and Ft. Worth of the Texas. While here Sentell accomplished wonders with the ma terial he had in hand, and with this same material on hand this year with increased talent from last years Freshman class one can judge what he will be able to do. Most of last years men are to re turn, or are already here, in fact we have Matthews, Guions, Crawford, Henderson, Dwyer, Higginbotham, Rothe, and a wealth of young mater ial, from which to pick from. Sum ming it up, all in all the prospects for the season are indeed bright and as good as could be expected, and as times progress the old life will be off at Kyle Field and the thud of the glove and crack of the bat will be heard every afternoon. ■ — - ft » Comedy-Drama in (one paragraph) Scene—Midnight car from Bryan, cadet officers getting off (or falling off), amid loud shouts of “How Dry I Am”, “I told you so”, “Sweet mama”, and other appropriate say ings. (Moral) : And we thought the country was dry, and hairtonic had only 20 per cent. In a recenf issue of the Collegiate World there appeared an All-Ameri can pick on which our own Jack Ma han made the fullback position and in which Drake, Wilson and Higginboth am received honorable mention. The pick was made from a new method to football fans and is a very fascinating one, especially when one looks at the future ahead of such a method. The selection made was the result of com piling over two hundred lists of “best opponents” selected by the players themselves representing as many teams. About three hundred football managers were asked to secure from their teams a Jist of players, consid ered by the players themselves, the best individual opponents they met the past season. Without regard to con ferences, the selections were made ac cording to territory and the standing of the colleges and universities rep resented by the teams. The pick was made acting upon the assumption that football on the Pacific coast is on par with football in the northeast and that no one state or section turns out a better brand of football or player than the other. The players on the first team given below were the unanimous choice fotf their respective position^/ Ends—Muller, California; Carrol, Washington Jefferson. Tackles—Smoot, Oklahoma; Cough lin, Norte Dame. Guards—Woods, Harvard; Majors, California. Center—Wallace, Iowa State Col lege. Halfbacks^—-Gipp, Notre Dame; Stinchcomb, Oljio State. Quarterback—Boyton, Williams Cpl- lege. Fullback—JACK MAHAN, TEXAS A. AND M. COLLEGE. CASUALS VICTORS OVER 3RD BATTALION 2 TO 0 In a game that resembled the brand of football played by two colleges the Casuals defeated the 3rd Battal- lion Infantry in a closely contested game on Kyle Field Sunday afternoon. The entire game was featured by the hard playing of both teams although the Casuals gained more ground dur ing the contest they were unable to make the score more than a two point victory. The only score of the game was a result of a blocked punt which resulted in a safety for the sons of rest. The Third Battalion was unable to make consistent gains through the Casual line and were never in danger of scoring. It would be hard/to pick the stars of the game for every indi vidual who went into the fray played good ball and deserves all the praise that can be given. For the Casuals Denny was the one who showed above JOSEPHINE MARTINO And Assisting Artists WILL APPEAR IN GUION HALL Friday Night, January 28 Another year will find Josephine Martino one of the country’s most brilliant and best known artists.

In the back field McMil- lin and Farguson and Jarrel were the stars, while in the line every man was a star. For the Third Battalion Frazier and Buckner played the most consistent game and showed up best. The game as a whole was the best ex hibition of football seen in company circles in many a day. ATHLETICS SUPREME “AG’S” vs. “A. H.’S” ’Twas a great meeting of all the ani mals in a great meadow on a beau tiful sunshiny day. All the animals were there in one gi-eat mass; even Bro. Lion, Bro. Porcupine, Bro. Don key, and others. There in the tall grass, hip .deep in places, with the rocks of ages below, mountains on every side, an a brass band in the middle of it all, a swell feed was to be had. But it was noted that the Senior Ag. students and the A. H. men were absent. Bro. Rabbit, be ing fleet of foot, was dispatched at once to learn the cause of their ab sence. ’Twas in the “kool of the evening”, the dew had begun to fall, when Bro. Rabbit cited on the far horizon a thin smoke and heard a faint noise. Rushing thru the dew, over hilland dale, for many miles he came up the scene of preparation for a football game between the Sen ior Horts and Agronomists vs. the A. H. Senioi’s. The line-up includ ing a few subs will be as follows: Aggs. “Regulator” “Slats” “Fats Cheneworth” “Papa Hai’vey” “Dommie John” “Earlie Obrian” “Charles Khyle” “Cotton” “Dannie” “Hip-Deep” “Misery the Social Secretary” “Physiocratt” “Shimmie” “W. W. B. Cordon” “Nickle Nose” “Lang Johnston” “Hike” “King Wm. Hackberry” “Ben Turpin” “Ikey Itch” “Sigary” A. H. “Bill Menzilio” “Sokum Rathjohn” “Bird Seed” “Runt” “Santa Clause Frenchy” “Red, the Egyptian Killer” “Tischumingo” “Sheriff” “Wind Blower” “Gooch Crucible” “Bloody” “Hiram D.” “Stork, the multiplying Mascott” ■ “Cactus Roth” “Chubby Speezard” “Goat” “Gallopin’ T. B.” “Bellie Akin” “Navasota Potts” “Jolly Israelite” “Harmless Horn” “Napoleon” “Pat Notions” “Cadillac Sott” “Pooch” “China Springs” “Convict Joe” PAUL SENTELL TO COACH AGGIE NINE. When it was learned in Aggieland that the services of Paul Sentell had been secured for the baseball season the Aggie stock took a decided jump. Sentell was here at the beginning of last season and stayed until the open ing of the Texas League where he went to resume his duties as umpire. With such a man as Sentell to coach the Aggie nine this year and with such pitchers as Henderson and Red Daniels, Billie Dish and his Varsity followers are sure to meet their Waterloo. Prospects are indeed bright for a successful season and if every one comes thru with the necessary fourteen hours, things will be setting pretty when practice is begun. FISH LOSE ONE, TAKE ONE FROM JOHN TARLETON First Game. Coach Anderson’s Fish got off to a poor start in the first game with John Tarleton and lost the game by the close score of 21 to 20. The game as a whole was a good exhibition of bas ketball although the Fish did not show the form that they exhibited in their games with the regular squad. The John Tarleton five showed , excellent form and were sure at the basket. The game ended in a rush when the Fish with only three minutes to play and with a 6 point lead in favor of John Tarleton came from behind and came near tying the score when they had a chance to throw a fowl as the gaqie ended. They failed to make the hill and the game went to Tarleton. For the Fish Du Bose and Gill were the most consistent players. Second Game. The Fish came back strong the sec ond night and exhibited th® old time team work and took the Tarleton five into camp by the decisive score of 23 to 7. The game belonged to the Fish from the very start they scoring- 10 points before Tarleton was able to register a counter. It was a good exhibition of basketball and was a fight throughout the game. It seemed that the Tarleton five were unable to get together but their failure to make the necessary points was due to the excellent guarding of the Fish. This game was played ps a curtain raiser to the regular game with Simmons and came near eclipsing it in point of interest. PETITION.
