2 THE BATTALION decided to request liberal and im mediate appropriations by Temples for the purpose of beginning con struction of the building. A ways and menas committee, composed of Sam Cochran, Dallas, Fred C. Jones, Houston, E. E. Ed wards of Ft. Worth, R. E. Thomason of El Paso and Major Ashburn was appointed by action of the council to take up with the Temples means of support of the project and to co operate with an A. and M. Commit tee in bringing about an early com pletion of the club house. Major Ashburn attended the re cent meeting of Shrine Officials held on the 22nd of February in San An tonio in interest of the local Masonic Club and the clubhouse which they have been trying to get built for the past year. On his return to the Col lege Mr. Ashburn made the state ment that the construction of the Club house had been adopted by the council as one of its projects which assures the commencement of work at an early date. He secured their help after having told them of the needs for such a club house near the campus for the accommodations of students of the College who are Ma sons or who are sons of Masons and of the benefits which they would re ceive. The building and finance commit tee is composed of Dr. O. M. Ball, President W. B. Bizzell, Dean J. C. Nagle, Director T. O. Walton, Major Ashburn, Professor E. B. LaRoche, Geo. L. Smart, treasurer, and George A. Long, Secretary. A.M.C. The Hirsute Femininee. Just supposing girls grew whisk ers! I ask you, would we hear a line like this ? “Oh, you know, I just washed my mustache. And I ian’t do a thing with it!” “Did you see Mildred’s beard ? She has it bobbed—and, you know, I’m just crazy about bobbed beards!” “Did you notice Maude at the dance last night ? She wore a pink dress. And you can imagine how that looked with her red side-burns. Oh, it was awful!” “Oh, girls! Kate has just bleach ed her whiskerettes, you know, I’m a perfect fool over blonde whisker ettes!” Yes, fellows, we can thank our stars that the femmes can’t grow ’em. Think how different sitting out ft a dance would be! —The Log. A.M .c. A Great Light.—The skipper was examining an ambitious gob who wanted to be a gunner’s mate. “How much does a six-pound shell weigh?” he asked. “I don’t know,” the gob confest. “Well what time does the twelve o’ clock train leave?” “Twelve o’clock.” “All right then, how much does a six-pound shell weigh?” “Ah, said the youthful mariner, a great light dawning on him. “Twelve pounds.” FISH CAGERS MAKE GOOD SHOWING Win Over St. Edwards in Close Game Lose Out in A. A. U. Tournament to Denton Nor mal Team. The past week has been quite a busy one for Coach Anderson’s freshman basketball team. After playing the St. Edwards five on the local court on Thursday night the freshmen five left for Dallas where they entered the A. A. U. tourna ment which was held in that city. Three games in two days is more than most teams can handle but the Fish came through in great style, though they lost one of the three games played. The St. Edwards team came here fresh from a victory over the Texas freshmen and had high hopes of one here. Though much older and much larger men than the first year men the Austin team never had a look in. The brand of ball flashed by the slimy tribe was one of the best seen here this year. Their shooting was of the highest order while the guarding was close and effective. The St. Edward’s men were forced to shoot from the middle of the court and as a result made few of their shots. In the first game at Dallas the Freshmen faced the fast quintet from Abilene Christian College, who had won a string of victories among the junior colleges of the state. The game was nip and tuck all the way and when the final whistle blew the score was tied at 18 all. After the necessary five minute period the lit tle Aggies were declared the winners 20 to 18. Friday night the team was pitted against the fast moving team from Denton Normal, which won the championship of the T. I. A. A. The normalities were just a little too much for the freshmen but they gave them the battle of their lives. Pink- eron for the Denton team was the star of the contest making eight bas kets. For the freshmen Washburn was the bright star, looping six bas kets and several free throws. The entire team played well and gave a good account of themselves against the college teams entered. The Den ton team was no doubt one of the strongest teams entered as they later won their way to the finals where they were defeated by the Cullun and Boren quint, from Dallas.
