orate Wedding.
After taking part in twenty-seven

The wedding was held in the First

beautifully decorated with colors to
correspond with the pastel color

corted by Master Carl Ney. Miss

brought the ring in on a bible. The
bridesmaids in their beautiful dresses
of pastel color, carried a staff and

FARMERS GIVE
OUACHITA TEAM
INITIAL DEFEAT
Captain Wilson and Neeley Star for
Aggies. Terbeville and Self
for Ouachita.
Playing under a tropical sun and
against the strongest and best condi
tioned club which has attempted to in-
vade Aggiel/u’d and snatch ft 'l
I laurels from them this season, tne
powerful Aggie machine, employing
straight plays and few forward passes
proved to the enthusiastic fans and
dope followers the real strength of
the Farmer crew which will begin its
secret work-outs on the gridiron at
Kyle Field, Monday afternoon, in
preparation for the first big confer
ence game of the 1922 season, that is
to be played at the Cotton Palace, Sat
urday the 4th day of November, with
the “touted” Baylor Bears, the op
ponent.
Without a doubt, Friday’s contest
was the fastest and most thrilling con
flict witnessed on Kyle Field thus far,
the Ouachita mentor bringing to Ag-
gieland a squad of athletes, well train
ed and tutored in their team work.
The plays were snapped with speed
and percision and upon only two oc
casions were the opponents credited
with penalties, both of which were the
results of off-side plays. The Oua
chita eleven numbered among its vet
erans, such men as Terbeville, a half
back of the “Jack” Mahan type, and
Self, a quarterback capable of the
generalship of any football elven.
These two players, especially, were
responsible for the majority of first
downs hammered through the Aggie
advance guard and throughout the af
ternoon the Farmers found them dif
ficult to stop.
The game opened with Ouachita
kicking off to “Puny” Wilson who re
turned the ball ten yards. A beauti
ful pass, Gill to Evans, netted the
Aggie eleven thirty yards and the ad
vance was continued in scrimmage to
the opponent’s five-yard line where
after three tries and with only one
yard to go, the Ouachita line stiffened
and the Farmers were unable to score.
With the ball in their possession
the opponents elected to kick and af-
