QUINTETTE WINS
SERIES FROM
RICE OWL FIVE
First Game 20-19; Second 35-17; Ag
gies Only Undefeated Team in
the Conference.
The guards would interfere with their
accuracy every time. They tried fre
quent long shots but failed.
The Aggies played rings around
their opponents and showed better
team work and training than did the
Owls. The Aggies scored 19 points
to Rice’s 7 in the second half.
Both teams put up a game fight
with sportsmanship showing through
out the game.
Dwyer was the star of the game
with his guarding and scoring, mak
ing six of the 14 field goals. “Todda”
made five field goals and six out of
eight tries at free goals. “Hoots”
Williams was all over the court and
at the Owls at all times. “Dutch”
Ehlert rung up 3 goals from dif
ficult angles while “Floppy” Hartung
dealt the Owls misery all the time
with his usual aggressiveness.
Game ended 35-17 favor Aggies.
The A. and M. Band was present for
this last game of the series and
brought the Aggie spirit with them.
The line-up for Saturday’s game
Arriving at the auditorium at 8:10
the Aggie team took the count im
mediately. They went through some
light running and passing up and
down the court and then practiced at
putting the ball through the loop.
Rice was easily superior at practice.
Then started the third of the tight
est games ever played by these insti
tutions. Only this time A. and M.
came out on top with a clean victory
for there was about two minutes more
to play and no further scoring.
The floor was very slick which made
the game appear vfery rough on the
part of both teams. It also slowed up
the affair considerably.
Megarrity was the first Aggie to
draw blood after ( a lot of scrimmage.
After this the scoring dragged along
and the first half ended with a score
of 10-7 favor of thg Owls, t
In the second half “Hoots” replaced
“Floppy” and Dwyer dribbled the ball
down the length of the court through
the entire Rice team for a goal. The
score was tied and passed by the
Owls three times in the second half
but the Aggies each time came from
behind and tied the score.
At this point McKean, Rice guard,
fouled and “Todda” shot a pretty free
goal which gave A. and M. the vic
tory for there was no other scoring.
Even though a bit off form, Forbes
and Dwyer played a sensational game.
The other men showed up well; espec
ially Ehlert.
The yelling of about 35 A. and M.
men and alumni was great. It rivaled
the cheering section of the entire Rice
Institute. • Aggies could be seen
assembling from all parts of the build
ing- at the first battle cry.

Second Game.
The same two teams met at the
auditorium Saturday night with Rice
determined to win their second game
with the Aggies. However, this was
not to be done for though fighting like
mad, the Aggies were right and as the
game went on, became stronger and
stronger.
The floor had been roughened and
the game was much faster than the
night preceding. Forbes was up to
snuff as was the rest of the team
which played a whirlwind game.
The first half ended with the Ag
gies in favor to the tune of 16-10, and
from then on out it was smooth sail
ing. Rice had many opportunities to
score but could not find the basket.

The cadet corp as a whole would
like to see such games on the A. and

than to see the big league stars in
action, and to see how our teams
would stack up against them. it

The Casuals and the 2nd Battalion
Are to Play For Championship
of Corps Sunday.
In a game that promises to be the
greatest exhibition of company foot
ball in many a day the Casuals and
the Second Battalion Infantry, are to
battle for the championship of the
College. The game is to be played
on next Sunday afternoon and inter
est is running high in the school and
every cadet is lining himself up with
the Second Battalion and the Casuals
still say that the team they support
can’t be beaten which remains to be
seen in the coming game. The Sec
ond Battalion will enter the contest
with the odds in their favor. They have
suffered very few injuries during their
season and they will more than likely
start the game Sunday with the same
line-up that was used so effectively
against the Casuals in the last battle.
The Casuals, however, have suffered
severly from injuries. Early in the
season they lost Simpson who was a
main stay in the back field and who
no doubt would have made an all com
pany position. In the game last
Thursday Jack Farguson, Bennie Bas
kin and Sullivan all suffered injuries
that will keep them out of the game
Sunday and it looks now that the Cas
ual coach will confront a problem in
finding enough men to start the con
test. But the Casuals with all this
staring them in the face promise to
give their best and should they lose
the sweaters the winners will know
they have been through a hard winter.
The Second Battalion has the advan
tage now but will they still have if
Sunday? That question will be an
swered when the two teams clash for
the last time.
Progress in the work of the wrest
ling squad is improving is the an
nouncement of Coach Jones.
The number of men reporting for
workouts has been increasing since
the opening of the new term and en
thusiasm is coming back to the old
mark set in the first novice meet.
Owing to minor injuries to some of
the old men, many openings will be
made for new entries in the next
novice meet and all men who wish
to learn something about mat work
are encouraged to come out. The
bantamweight is now open owing to
the sickness of Clark and his absence
is keenly felt. Any men who weigh
in the neighborhood of 120 or 122
pounds ai*e urged to come out at
4 o’clock and leaim the principal
rolls and positions.
The following are working out at
present:
125 lb. class: Coale, Stephens,
Stevens, Gardner, Davis, Harpole,
Ashworth, Pinson, Burham.
135 lb. class: Snell, Matthes, Capt.
King. 145 lb. class: White, Buckner,
Harrington, Houston, Trimble. 158
lb. class: Doland, Frazier Brinkman,
Lieper, Vaughan. 175 lb. class: Han
ey, O’Neil. Heavy: Ramsey, David
son.
Coach Jones is offering every man
who desires coaching in wrestling an
opportunity to come out at this late
date. It is urged that every man who
has the time and cares for mat
work report. Experience and scien
tific knowledge of wrestling is not
required. Wrestling is fast becoming
an important sport at A. and M. and
it is desired to see the squad increase
to the maximum number.
WHY NOT A FEW BIG LEAGUE
TEAMS TO PLAY HERE IN
THE SPRING?
Knicker—Do you think he was
serious?
Bocker—About as serious as a
girl who snuggles into your arms and
tells you not to kiss her.

A Fitting Assistant to the Two Splendid Artists
This year Texas boasts of many
big league teams training in her great
state and a few of them are in the
close proximity of College Station.
We have New York and Detroit
working out at San Antonio, . Cleve
land at Waxahachie, Boston at Gal
veston, Philadelphia at Orange, and
Cincinnati at Cisco, but even with
all these so close, still we do not find
A. and M. on any of their schedules,
but we do find the University book
ed up with a few of them, and they
are in no better position to play them
than we are.
Last year the St. Louis and Phili-
pelphia teams played here and drew
well, how much better would they
draw if they had played a local team,
such as our Aggie nine, is a question
that can only be answered by trial.
One thing we do know it that they
would draw no smaller crowd. Of
course these teams had a guarantee,
made good by the Bryan Chamber
of Commerce which was some in
ducement to their making a stop otf
here. Would it not be possible to
get the Chamber of Commerce to
back us to some extent if such a thing
is necessary, in the event it could
be arranged to bring such teams here
for a game?
It would mean advertisement for
the College, as w r ell as the city of
Bryan, such as it can not buy, for
reports of the game would be in the
largest papers of the country, and
with the report would go new£ of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
in Texas and the prowness of its
teams, thus bringing it before the
eyes of the public, for each team
carries its staff of reporters. So as
an advertising scheme alone it would
prove beneficial, much less, to say a
source of pleasure and entertainment
to the cadet corps and the people of
Bryan and the surrounding country.
If anything is to be done in this
regard it should be done at once as
most of the majors have no doubt
completed their spring schedules.
Those teams that could- not be in
duced to make a special trip here
might be made to stop off here on
their way north, and the guarantee
lequired by them in the long run
would not be too great for the Ath
letic Department to withstand, as is
generally thought. Instances have
been known where such teams as
these have played for guarantees of
from $200 to $300 when they stop
off at a convenient place, such as
College. The University procures
them for about this much every
year, with the addition of a percent
age of the gate receipts, and A. and
M. with the backing of the city of
Bryan should be able to do as well.
they have read about every day and
followed thru the seasons perform
ing on their own diamond and to talk
about how they performed when they
return home in the summer. How
many of us would like to see such
notables as McGraw, Hughie Jenn
ings, Ty Cobb, Veach, Babe Ruth, Tris
Speaker and other luminaries covart-
ing around on Kyle Field?
It might be possible that such
games could not be arranged this
late in the season but it must not
be forgotten that we were offered
such games and turned them down,
thinking pei'haps that it would re
quire too much capital or backing
to finance one. The above thoughts
are offered as a constructive sugges
tion that niight be borne in mind
next year when the Majors are mak
ing out their spring schedules, it is
too late to get them to stop off here
this year.
LEAGUE LEADERS STAGE A
SCORELESS TIE.
The best girdiron classic of the inter
company football season was staged
Thursday on Kyle Field when the
Gold Brickers played the fighting
Aggregation of the Second Battal
ion to a scoreless tie. In the first
period Miller heaved a beautiful 40
yard pass, but Real’s arms lackel
the necessary molasses. Near the
end of the second quarter, Riggs re
turned McMillan’s for a 40 yard
gain, and Scofield added eight more
on a short end run, making it the
Doughboy’s ball on Casual’s own six
yard line. Four futile attempts to
shove it over netted them only four
yards and time was up.
The second stage of the game
found the Casuals playing more con
sistently, but the absence of Farga-
son and McMillan in the backfield
were telling effects on the Sons of
Rest offensive. McMillan was for
ced ti^ retire early in the game on
account of a hard one on the head,
'Fafcgaf.an 'sdifered a ‘ broken leg, and
“Bennie” Baskin a fractured arm.
The open field runs of Riggs and the
defensive playing of Phocian Park
were the outstanding features of the
contest. Harry Pinson for the Ca
dets proved to be a consistent ground
gainer and looked like a veteran in
the making. Denny and Fish “Red”
of the Casuals and Patilli and Car-
roll of the Infantrymen stood out
above all others in roles of linemen.
These same teams meet again Sun
day, and inasmuch as all other games
are forfeited to these respective
teams, the winner of this contest is
the undefeated Championship team
and will receive the prized sweaters
given by the Athletic Council.
