BASKETBALL
AUDIENCES ARE
TO BE LIMITED
Due to Lack of Room Only Coupon
Book Holders Will View the Re
maining Games.
For the lack of seating room in the
gymnasium at the A. and M. College
of Texas, James Sullivan, business
manager of athletics, has been forced
to withdraw from sale tickets for the
general public for admission to wit
ness basketball games remaining on
the season’s schedule.
Early in the season coupon books
good for admittance to all athletic
contests of the year were sold to the
students of the College, faculty mem
bers and a few Bryan people and it
has been found that the seating ca
pacity of the gymnasium, in spite of
the fact that every available space
not occupied by the playing court is
taxed to accommodate epupon book
holders. So in justice to the coupon
book holders, Mr. Sullivan has de
cided to sell no more tickets for ad
mission to any of the six games re
maining on the basketball schedule.
This situation is deplorable, in view
of the fact that many of those who
did not buy coupon books are the most
loyal supporters of A. and M. ath
letics, and that unexpected visitors
to the College cannot be givep the
privilege of seeing the late season
games.
Mr. Sullivan’s announcement of the
matter made public yesterday follows:
“Owing to the limited seating capac
ity of the present basketball court
admission to the six remaining home
games of the season will be on coupon
book only. No admission tickets will
be sold to the general public. One-
half of section B. which formerly has
been reserved for the general public,
will be released to student coupon
book holders who may occupy these
seats without additional charge. The
other half will be held in reserve for
coupon book holders in Bryan and Col
lege who may desire to make reser
vations in advance in order to secure
good seats. Only one reserved seat
ticket will be issued on each coupon
book.
“The management regrets exceed
ingly that it has become necessary to
limit the admissions to basketball
games to coupon book holders, since
many of those not holding coupon
books are loyal supporters of ath
letics, but in justice to the coupon
book holders who are entitled to com
fortable seats at all athletic contests
this step seems necessary.
“We trust that the public will ap
preciate our position and sincerely
trust that before another basketball
season, suitable provision will have
been made to care for all who de
sire to see the contests.”
TRIM RIGNEY TO PLAY WITH
FORT WORTH.
The following clipping from a Ft.
Worth paper will probably prove of
interest to old timers on the campus
both among the students and the
faculty. It has to do with one of
the best base ball players the col
lege has ever turned out and one
that caused more big league scouts
to visit A. and M. than any other
college in the Southwest:
Panthers Get Infielder to
Replace Stow.
E. E. “Topper” Rigney, former
A. and M. College star and later
with the Dallas Marines, has been
purchased from the Detroit Tigers
and will fill the breach in the Panther
infield, left vacant by the departure
of Bobby Stow, Paul LaGrave,
manager of the local crew, announ
ced this morning.
Rigney played his first year in pro
fessional baseball last season with
the Marines. With a tail-end club,
he made an excellent fielding record
and hit .253. With as strong an ag
gregation as the Panthers, he should
do much better in every respect this
year.
Rigney played four years with the
Texas Aggies, and finally after many
bids for his services, signed with the
Detroit crew. With the veteran
Donie Bush still going strong, how
ever, President Navin had no especial
use for the youngster, and farmed
him out to Dallas for training at the
beginning of the 1920 race.
When Paul LaGrave attended the
Chicago meeting recently, he had
his eye out for a good infielder to
replace Stow, and decided that Rig
ney was the man he wanted, pur
chased him outright from the Tigers.
Rigney left yesterday for his home
in Leonard, but will be back for the
first call for training, he told La
Grave.
AGGIE QUINT
SPLITS SERIES
WITH T.C.U. FIVE
First Game 23-5 Favor of A. and M.;
Second Game Lost By One
Point to Texas.
The Aggies completly outclassed
the Varsity crew in the first game
Friday night and had them at their
mercy thruout the game. Texas!
was never closer than 12 points to
the Aggie lead, and when the final
whistle blew the score stood 23 to
5 in favor of the Farmer five. The
Texas scores came as a result of one
field goal and three free goals from
fowls. The Varsity five never was
able to find the basket and the best
that they could do was to shoot from
the middle of the field. The Aggie
guards never allowed but one short
shot during the game. The whole
Farmer team played as a machine and
the way they worked together was
playing off form for they never
were able to get together long at a
time while on the other hand the
Farmers were never seen to play a
better brand of basketball than they
played during this game. The whole
team starred but Williams for the
Aggies played the best game on the
court. The way in which he handled
himself on the floor was indeed sat
isfying to the cadets.
SECOND GAME.
Aggies Show Old Time Fight, Lose
by One Point. Game Goes an
Extra Five Minutes.
The second game found the Uni
versity Five playing a much better
game than the night previous. The
Aggies played the same fighting
game but they were unable to find
the basket consistently. The game
started first with a field goal by the
Aggies but Varsity soon duplicated
the stunt and then took the lead. The
first half was indeed a fight, Texas
making her scores from long shots
and from fouls. The half ended
with a score nine to four in favor of
Varsity. The second half belonged
to the Aggie Five for they came
from behind and fighting like no
other team except the Aggies can
fight were able to slowly cut down
the Texas lead and with but one
minute left to play Dutch Ehlert with
two Texas players on him raised up
and looped the basket that tied the
score. With but thirty seconds left
to play a Texas player used a stiff
arm on Capt. Forbes knocking him
to the floor, time had to be taken out
and the Aggies drew a foul, but
Forbes had not recovered from the
blow sufficiently to see the basket
well enough to make the necessary
point. The game ended 15 to 15,
and called for an extra 5 minutes of
play.
The only score made during this
five minutes was made by Peyton of
Texas when he threw a foul. The
Aggies missed three chances to win
the game when they missed as many
easy shots for the basket. But the
ball wouldn’t obey and Destiny said
that the game should end 16 to 15 irl
favor of Texas. We know that we
have the best club, and even though
we lost the game, we can truly say,
we outfought the Texas five. We
have two more games to play with
Texas at Austin and they will be real
old battles, and we predict that our
own Farmers will be the victors but
not without a fight.
‘LEFTY’ MATTHEWS
TO CAPTAIN NINE
On last Saturday afternoon the
letter men of the baseball squad met
and unanimously elected Lefty
Matthews to lead them thru the com
ing season. Lefty has made two
letters in base ball and his election
to the captaincy left vacant by the
departure of “Hig” came as good
news to the cadet corps. Matthews
is an outfielder, but his usefulness
does not end in the outer garden he
has been seen to hold the first sack
down in big league style and his
ability as a pitcher is recognized
thruout the conference. He has an
exceptionally good fielding record
and his ability to swat the opponents
offerings has meant much in winning
previous games for the Aggie nine.
Indications of Trouble.
Johnny—Did Moses have dyspepsia
like what you’ve got ?
Dad—How on earth do I know ?
Why do you ask such a question?
Johnny—Well, our Sunday School
teacher says the Lord gave Moses
two tablets.
THE EPISCOPAL
STUDENTS CONVENTION
- AT HOUSTON.
MUSTANGS HERE
TONIGHT & SAT.
The S. M. U. five will invade the
haunts of the Aggies to try their
luck with the Farmer five and from
reports coming from Dallas these
games promise to be worth the see
ing. Altho S. M. U. got off to a bad
start during the first part of the sea
son they have shown that they have
the fight for they have been winning
their games and have held Texas to
a three point victory. They are
coming down with the same fight to
use against the Aggies with the
hopes of going home with one of the
games. This means that the Aggies
have got to put their best fight
against the Mustangs if they are to
stay in the conference race. We
don’t know why it is but every team
that plays against a Farmer team
puts up its best game of the season.
An explanation might be offered in
the fact that the old stuff called fight
is in the atmosphere around College
Station and when a visiting team
breathes a few whiffs of Aggieland
air they can’t help but fight. But
anyway we may look for two real
battles when the Aggie Wild Cats
crawl on the Mustangs Friday and
Saturday nights.
ALL-COMPANY TEAM TO BE
PICKED SATURDAY.
In what promises to be the best
all-company game scheduled here in
many a day will take place Saturday
when Johnnie Pierce’s picked eleven
will do battle with a similiar eleven
coached by Jack Mahan. The men
that show up to best advantage in this
game will be picked for the all-com
pany team and will be awarded with
minature silver footballs with their
name and position engraved upon it.
The game will be a hard fought one
for both teams are evenly matched
and every man wants to beat out his
opponent for a position on the all
company eleven. If the present
chill is still in the air Saturday there
will be no suffering from heat as
was the case in several company
games this season.
“What is the best combination of
fruit ?”
“I don’t believe that I know.”
“A date and a peach of course.”
The Episcopal students who attend
ed the Second Annual Diocesan Stu
dent Council at Houston from the 21st
to 25th of last month report that the
Council was even a bigger success than
the year before.
A condensation, or a few high points
in the program will give you some
idea of what a time they had. On
Saturday morning a meeting for the
election of officers was held and also
several addresses by noted men in
cluding Bishop Paul Micon of New
York, Rev. Harris Masterson of
Houston and Prof. Y. Y. Tsu of China,
were heard. In the election of officers
Everett Jones of Texas U. was elect
ed to succeed E. R. Duggan of Rice
Institute, and Miss Black of Rice was
elected to succeed Miss Margaret Car
ter of Texas.
At 4 p. m. the convention moved to
adjourn and strange to say, no one
voted “nay”. Perhaps it was because
they knew they were to be guests at
a ‘tea dansance’ at the University Club
from 4:30 to 7:30. Anyway most of
our boys found their way over and
very few without a member of the
feminine sex and danced and ’’de
voured” till time for the Aggie-Rice
basketball game. They adjourned
with most of the ladies from Texas
Rice and Baylor-Belton to the audi
torium. t
At 4:30 Sunday the Council had the
opportunity of hearing several prom
inent Bishops and speakers. Monday
morning the Second Students Diocesan
Council met for the last time, and most
of the boys certainly did hate to leave
the—g—gi—city of Houston, and, by-
the-way, the girls hated to leave the
b—b—bo— old town too.
Why the Rush?
Fan (late arrival, out of breath)—•
What’s the score ?
Pan—Nothing to nothing.
Fan—Good game, eh ?
Pan—I don’t know. It hasn’t start
ed yet.
—Sun Dodger.
Do you play golf?
No, the game is too coarse for me.
—Frivol.

for the enclosed car increases in volume,
and when you think that the Ford Sedan,
with all its comforts and conveniences—an en

windows which make it an open car in a minute or
so, or a tightly closed car that is dust-proof and
water-proof—ready for service every day of the
3^ear, rain or shine, summer or winter, and then
think that this car is lower in price than any
touring car (except the Ford car) and wou will
not wonder that we ask you to leave your order
for a Sedan as soon as possible that we may be
able to give you reasonable delivery.
Of course, you cannot forget that matchless
