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.

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

Halfbacks^—-Gipp, Notre Dame;
Stinchcomb, Oljio State.

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

the rest he was easily the star of the
game and it was through the line that
was responsible for the only score of
the game. 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:

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.
To the Texas Legislature:
Through the Governor of the State
of Texas:
Most Extinguished Sirs:
The following is submitted for
your approval:
Whereas: the student body of the
College of Industrial Arts as the first
part has expressed its or her desire
to move the said college of the name
of the first part to the present loca
tion of the Agricultural an(i Mechan
ical College of Texas as the second
part, and whereas the party of the
second part is willing more than
mere words can express that the
party of the first part make such
move, we of the second pai’ty deem
it entirely within your great power,
love and esteem for the dear public
which you represent, to grant this
petition which we of the second part
do earnestly desire.
Whereas: It is a mutual agree
ment between the party of the first
part and the party of the second
part that these two student bodies
be united into one and these wishes
have been let known to the populace
over the broad and fertile acres of
our fair state through the respected
publication of the party of the first
part et cetera and the party of the
second part et cetera.
And Whereas: The opinion of
each party et cetera on both sides
has so expressed its willingness to so
combine, united we stand provided
wo don’t fall, re request that this
petition be granted for the following
reasons, to-wit:
1. For the further education of
both parties.
2. For the further refinement by
female comradeship of we of the
second part.
3. To save the wear and tear on
the postoffice forces handling mail
to and from the present location of
the party of part one and the party
of part two.
(a) Much labor and express
could be saved for our beloved state
should this wise move agree with
your most august approval in Jan
uary.
(b) Much of the moon light could
be put to better advantage than to
waste its soft bright beams out on
the wild and lonesome hills of Col
lege Station.
Whereas: We of the second party
have presented the foregoing infor
mation for* all concerned and for
your most reverent approval.
To-wit or half-wit do asphixiate
our seal of state.
