HUGE SUCCESS
-MUCH ENJOYED
Sons of Rest Football Team Tender
ed Elaborate Banquet by the
Gold-Brickers.
It was eight, o’clock on Thursday nite
The Gridiron heroes, brave
Were all well fed
At a banquet spread
That the Casual family gave.
They might have won, or they might
have lost,
That doesn’t change our song.
They did their best
For the Sons of Rest
And we’re behind them strong!
The Sons of Rest, of “Ye old
Soldiers’ Home” established a well
defined precedent when they staged
a six-round “Chow Struggle” in hon
or of their football squad on Thurs
day eve, February 3rd, at 8:00, A. D.
(After Dark) in Sbisa’s Chow Em
porium. The banquet was the dem
onstration of the appreciation and
recognition of the splendid fight the
“Conscientious Objectors” staged in
battling for the preservation of the
Campus Football Supremacy and was
the result of a unified action and
spirit of the inmates of Milner and
Austin Halls and the Shirley Club.
“Bennie” Garrity, Yell-Leader,
presided as Toastmaster and headed
the program with a five minute ex
hibition of Bracketology and then
the struggle was on. The “Fight”
proper called for the following
events:
Lobster Cocktail
Canape Caviar
Stuffed Celery Queen Olives
Tomato Boullion
Breasts of Chicken Mushroom Sauce
Potatoes Au Gratin O’Brian
Asparagus Tips Hollandaise Sauce
Lettuce Salad Thousand Isle Dressing
Ice Cream Cake Mince Pie
Cheese Coffee
Roman Punch
Cigarettes Cigars
Immediately following the contest
the decisions were rendered. The

“Champion Meal Hound” trophy was
tendered to Wallis, of Arkansas,
while Coach Rothgeb was the only
runner-up for the “Booby” prizbu
His physical statue exemplifies the
fact.
A beautiful gold fountain pen,
with chain variety safety, was then
given Johnny Pierce, the Coach.
“Bill” McMillan, the Captain, made
the presentation speech. This was
the only knockout registered during
the evening, for the surprise com
pletely floored Johnny. After the
official count, he attempted to reply
but his tongue showed traits of sud
den affections for the roof of his
mouth.
“Dough” Rollins, was called on
and he voiced his sentiments on the
spirit of the occasion and the sup
port of the Casual Company. “Bill”
Jarrell followed with a brief review
of the season, stressing strongly the
hard work of the Coach, Johnny
Pierce. Mr. Rothgeb outlined the
Council’s view of Company athletics
and the support that the Gold Brick-
ers gave their aggregations. “Paun
ches” Ramsey brought the house
down with his review of athletics.
“Dark Horse” Wallis followed with
his comparison of foreign service in
France and Texas. P. C. Coffin gave
quite an effective contrast of the
Sons of Rest teams of ’20 and ’21.
Fish Cowan and Fish Neeley dwelt
at length on the Casual’s favorite
pastime and prophesied a “Consum
ing Comeback” provided, of course,
Sbisa’s Hash House was still intact.
“Fish” Dashiell, whose first ambit
ions were presidential, related how
he thought that his parents’ dreams
were semi-realized when he was al
lowed to become official Sky Juice
Chaser for the Easy-Goers. Then
Bill McMillan made known his ap
preciation for the co-operation of the
coach and the players. He said that
it was just a realization that they
had not fought in vain; for the ban
quet was just only one small manner
in which the Sons of Rest wanted to
show that they were behind them,
win—lose or draw.
After the famous “Casual Fight”
yell was given, the participants
struck up the casual cadence to the
bunk house to indulge in one of their
favorite modes of entertainment.
A. AND M. WARMLY PRAISED I
BY COL. A. S. WILLIAMS I
Following is an interview given by Colonel A. S. Williams, R.
j* O. T. C. Inspector of the 8th Corps Area, after his inspection of the
^ A. and M. Unit, which was concluded Saturday:
f “I have found the conditions concerning the R. O. T. C. organiza-
^ tion of the A. and M. College this year very satisfactory. The unit as
a whole has made much more progress than it had last year at the
❖ same period.
•S* “This fact is due not only to the instruction now being re-
^ ceived but to the additional one that the cadets are beginning to re-
^ alize the result of two or three year’s previous training.
“The appearance of the corps Saturday morning at review was
!£ all anyone could desire. I have never reviewed troops anywhere that
❖ presented a more soldierly appearance.
“From my brief inspection of the practical work being done in
the corps I feel safe in saying that if they continue progressing along
£ these same lines they will produce the results required by the War De-
-I- partment and quite a bit additional.
IjC “The college authorities, by which I mean the president, the
commandant of cadets, the military department, instructional staff,
^ and detachment of regular soldiers on duty here are doing a great
% work that will develop responsibility and splendid character in the stu-
❖ dents. Their work is being carried along lines that are perfectly
^ sound.
-!♦ “The system being followed by Major L. R. Dougherty, profes-
sor of military science and tactics and his officers in the department
of military science,- because it is eystematic and thoroughly efficient,
cannot but produce results as it is administered now.
? “I unqualifiedly congratulate the students for the serious way
in which they take their work, and the manliness with which they have
% acquitted themselves of the responsibility thrown upon them by this
•§♦ institution. I saw all of the different units one time or another and I
% do not believe that any military college in the United States is doing
the work these boys are doing. I am very proud to have them under
!£ my jurisdiction.
❖ “When I see and realize what this institution is doing toward
% developing future citizens for this country I cannot speak of it too
❖ highly. Words of commendation are inadequate to properly compli-
% ment President Bizzell, members of his faculty, of the military de-
£ partment, including both commissioned and non-commissioned officers
•f* of the regular army detachment and the students themselves. And I
❖ cannot forget the wives of the men who are doing this excellent work,
? for when I see a great work being done by men I always give much
❖ credit to the good women who are equally responsible for the results
obtained. The wives of the faculty members and officers of this in-
stitution should feel greatly honored by the wonderful showing that
£ institution is making.
? “To criticise the cadets I must pass to individual appearances.
t I notice that while the set-up has improved over last year, yet there is
X s till room for improvement. I saw too many stooped shoulders in the
X ranks.
£ “I know that every man in the organization can learn to hold
1* himself correctly. I have one institution under my supervision in the
X 8th Corps Area where it is done with 100 per cent efficiency. The work
•h men receive here is too good for them to show a lacx of the proper
f physical set-up. Yet the military department can give them sitting-up
X exercises every day in the week, but unless they do their own part at
t every period of the day by trying to correct their physical bearing the
X training will accomplish little.
♦2* ( “The value of a good set-up is two-fold. Shoulders held well
X back expands the lungs and increases his chances for good physical
% health, and good physical health enables him to enjoy the full bene-
❖ fits of his mental powers. But even more important is the psychoiog-
X ical value.
f “A man who learns to hold his head up, shoulders back, and to
t walk with a quick decisive step, gains pride in himse f, develops sell-
❖ confidence and aggressiveness, which is half the battle of life. lih®
f goes into civil life with a correct physical carriage his chances ffrr a
? successful career are multiplied above those of his slouching brother.

COMPANY “F” NOTES.
The other night, just after one
of our new Fish had paid his sub
scription to the Daily Bulletin, Edgar
sent him up on the third “stoop” for
a pair of platoon “dividers.” The Fish
went up and told Lieut. Parks that
Edgar wanted to see him.
* * ❖
We, up here in Bizzell Hall, may
be the last ones to get to the Mess
Hall, but we have the satisfaction of
knowing that the rest of the Corps
stands up and waits for us to arrive.
As soon as we reach the Mess Hail,
we begin eating. The others, having-
had to wait for us, have looked
everything over and decided that
they aren’t hungry. We don’t have
an opportunity to decide that we
don’t feel equal to the occasion, and,
as a result, we, down this way, weigh
more than they do down on the other'
end of the campus. Then, another
advantage of our location is that we
are always the first ones to reach
Guion Hall on chapel days.

Honest, now, we hate to tell this,
but, the other evening at retreat,
something unusual happened. Capt.
Ward was holding retreat with the
Company, and everything went well
until “To the Colors” was sounded.
Ward came to “SALUTE” in a very
military manner, but something di
verted his attention, and he failed to
complete the “SALUTE” when the
call was completed. In fact he held
his “SALUTE” until the Colonel gave
the command “Rest”. As we said
before, we hated to tell this, but the
truth will out.
* * ^
We were surprised at the business
like appearance of the Bryan-College
Interurban car the other day. It
has been newly painted, and such
admonitions as “Do not talk to the
motorman” and “Keep your feet off
the seats” met our eyes. We sincere
ly hope that this is a sign that a new
era is being ushered into the life of
the Interurban Company. r
He * *
Fish “Fats” Maufrais takes this
means of notifying all interested
parties that he has resigned his po
sition as Company Meal Hound in
favor of his friend but successful
rival Jack Martin. This decision is
the result of careful investigation
into the merits of both parties.
“Witty” Willie Davis is being in
troduced to you in this issue. He
and the Fish on the third “stoop” are
making things rather interesting for
the casual observer of the ways of
the Fish.
iK * H«
There is a Fish in this Company
who received a ten-folder letter from
his girl the other day. ,Now, a ten
folder letter is all right and we would
all like to get that kind, but this girl
tells him that she will write him a
long one next time if she has tijne.
We suppose this will be all right
also.

We heard someope say the other
day that if Captain Tuttle could walk
on the average of a mile every eleven
minutes and keep it up for eleven
miles, he evidently joined the right
branch of the service when he took
the Infantry.
