NUMBER 5 SISTER INSTITU TION CELEBRATES AGGIE VICTORY GODDESS OF FIRE VISITS DIXIE THEATRE : WE’RE THE BEST REGARDLESS OF THE SCORE PREXY INAUG URATES FIRST FAMILY TALK Our football warriors are true fighters of the never-say-die type, and it is needless to say that every one of us, even down to “Little Flop py” are proud to call them OUR TEAM. But why shouldn’t they give every- ■hing they have and a little bn more. Not only have they the everlasting- supporting of everything in Brazos < ounty but they get the same .support from the most loyal bunch of girls that ever were assembled under the direction on one college president. Of course, this school is none other than C. I. A. The Aggies who were here last year will never forget the telegram which they sent to us after our team had gone down in that glorious defeat on Clarke Field. It came at the psychological moment when we could appreciate it most. Well, these same loyal pals are still with us in the same convincing way. One of our bunch was so fortunate as to be with those loyal girls when (Continued on Page 5) Military Training Saves the Day The entire cadet corps is heavily armed with lanters, vainly searching for a movie that they can witness for the nominal sum of two bits, due to the destruction of the Dixie Theatre by fire Saturday night about 8:3<l. There was ai. admonition on the pro gram they gave us when we went in that in case of fire, to look around, choose one of the eleven exits, rise quietly and pass out in the same man ner. We noticed that there were four well defined doors and concluded that the cracks in the wall must con stitute the other seven. The hero was demonstrating to the heroine how much he loved her when some one yelled: “Fire!” We thought some cadet was catching the spirit of the scene till the penetrating odor of burning celluloid reached our sensitive nostrils. We arose amidst the din of confusion and immediately took command of the situation. We (Continued on Page 5) “Wildcat” and “Farmers Fight” Greet Returning Aggie Team. Just before the north bound H. & T. C. arrived Sunday afternoon a travelling man passing through Col lege stopped at the station and in quired the reason for all the crowd at the depot. He was told that our football team was expected in on the train, at this he remarked that he was a college man himself but this was the first time that he had ever heard of a student body meeting a defeated team. The score makes no difference in the support of our teams. We may be defeated but never beaten. When the northbound H. & T. ar rived the whole gang was there and the band was greeting the team with Wildcat. The yell leaders had plan ned to give the entire squad a free ride to military walk on the shoulders of various members of the corps. Some of the modest violets who com- (Continued on Page 5) Major Policies and Plans of the Col lege Are Explained to Stu dent Body. Last Tuesday night marks the ad vent of the first talk of the many confidential family talks slated to appear in the future. Many “Boots” appear in Guion Hall for the first time since “Fishhood.” Prexy’s ap pearance before the footlights was greeted with a pandemonium of ap plause. Dr. Bizzell began with an explana tion of our relations with the gov ernment and made it plain that this college is more closely connected with the government than is com monly believed. He tells of inter view with- states relations and other bureaus of the Department of Agri culture which are connected with the college. He next told of his conference with army officials in regard to college equipment. Our new uniform knocks (Continued on Page 5) CASEY AND CAHN HONORARY MEMBERS OF ROSS VOLUNTEERS Two of the truest friends of the student body, Mr. F. J. Casey and Mr. A. R. Cahn, were voted into the Ross Volunteers as honorary mem bers by that organization last Sun day afternoon. Casey is manager of the campus confectionery known as “Casey and Sparks,” and is one of the oldest men on the campus. We do not know when he came, but he was here when Gov ernor Ross cut his milk teeth. He is the man who sold old Uncle Dan his fh*st Virginia Cheroot and, like every thing else Casey sells, it made Uncle sick. Mr. Cahn is assistant professor in the department of biology. Although he has not been here as long as Casey, he has the best interest of the school at heart, is a friend to every student on the campus, and a strong supporter of everything they undertake to do. We extend our hearty congratu lations. ANNUAL RODEO TO BE ON NOVEMBER 4 The QUEEN of TEXAS will be present with her numerous dutches, es she is to have them from the North, East, South and West. They will no doubt be the best that have been seen in these parts since “Bobby Smith” has been here and we all know that means some time. Don't fail to meet the fairest in the land and remember the time is Nov. 4 at 8 p. m. The best of wild riders will be on hand, riding every thing from a buck ing broncho to a greased pig. “The Cast Iron Quartet” from Roaring- River will present some of the fa vorite Cowboy Ballards, which in it self will be a big feature. And re member Nov. 4 at 8 p. m. See the funny sights. Some of the better “FISH” will catch the old greased pig. This mighty scramble will decide “WHO IS WHO IN FISH- DOM.” As a final word, don’t for get: the time, Nov. 4 at 8 p. m.; the place, the STOCK JUDGING PA VILION ; the girl, your ale lady. A BEE GETS STUNG. In view of the fact that we took occasion before A. and M. went down in defeat before Louisiana Sat urday, to say that Texas looked like the best prospect for another cham pionship, we herewith cheerfully print the following letter received in Sat urday’s late mail: Graham, Texas, Oct. 14, 1921. Billy Bee, Fort Worth Star-eTelgram, Fort Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Buzz: As a baseball dopester and a sport sheet comedian you’re all to the mus tard, but as a football critic you’re an egg. To prophecy the probable outcome of a Thanksgiving game in the new moon of October is bad enough but to opine that any eleven that Texas University ever produced will run “houghshod” over the sorriest team A. and M. could put in the field— well, Old Bumble, you had better sober. You’ve just sipped too much juice from one flower. Cut out buz- (Continued on Page 5) ANSWER TO THE ROLL FRESHMEN. Your class is now organized. At the meeting held last Saturday, tem porary officers were elected and the class got together and banded itself to the work of making a inore clos er union among the freshmen of this College. At Saturday’s meeting only about two hundred and fifty were present, but at the next meeting every freshman at A. and M. College will be present. You are going to turn out and support your class like you do. Yell Practice—100 per cent. It will be impossible to have the strong union that is desired by all, till every one does his bit towards making this class a success. During the meeting you will not get up and leave. You will help your class offi cers and give them your undivided support, for this class is going to be run in true A. and M. form. We are asking every freshman in the College to be at the next meeting and support it. It will be well for you to remem ber that the freshmen signed no pledge cards against hazing and they
