orables the matching of the confer-
o-ce teams as to strength and the
final outcome in the conference games
The Grid-Graph machine and the
Electric Score Board are now owned
' 7 G. C. Wolfe, but it is reported that
the tentative plan as present is for
the Athletic Department to take it
over next year for the benefit of the
'ntra-mural athletic funds. In case
the Athletic Department cannot take
charge of the devices next year, they
will again be operated by some stu
dent working his way through College
so that the practice of reproducing
’ootball games in this manner will be
kept up.
Below is shown the schedule of
games to be reproduced on the Elec
trie Score Board during the remain
ing season:
October 18, Texas-S. M. U. game,
Assembly Hall.
October 25, A. and M.-S. M. U.
game, Assembly Hall.
November 1, A. and M.-Baylor
game, Bryan.
November 8, Texas-Baylor game,
Assembly Hall.
November 15, S. M. U.-Baylor game,

mensity will be given in the follow
ing paragraphs:
An all-sports manager has been
selected in each battalion and the
casual company. He is to have charge
of the athletics in his particular or
ganization. Under him will be assis
tants who will direct the activities in
each company. A form of question-
airre has been furnished these mana
gers and these are to be given to each
man in school for him to fill out. In
it the individual is asked to check the
sport or sports in which he is inter
ested; there being eighteen of them
listed and are as follows: Basketball,
baseball, boxing, cross country, equi
tation, football, golf, hare and hound,
hand ball, polo, rifle shooting, socce*
swimming, tumbling and pyramids,
track, volley ball, tennis, and wrestl
ing. The results will be tabulated
and if a sufficient number desire a
sport, it will be offered with equip
ment and other facilities for playing.
The intramural basketball will be
gin within the next week or ten days.
The plan is in this sport to have at
least three leagues, maybe four, there
by making it possible for each com
pany to have a team, this givii^; each
battalion an entry in each league. The
winners of these leagues will play
another schedule and the winner of
this will consequently be the intra
mural basketball champions of A.
and M. A similar method will be
used in each of the other sports.
The importance of this program
cannot be over emphasized, for it will
give the student the opportunity to
develop his physical being, as well as
furnishing him with an opportunity
to use his spare time in a beneficial
way, besides teaching him to think
as well as act quickly, and last, and
perhaps most important, the value of
clean play and sportsmanship.
A. and M. is a man’s school and
only the real he-men survive the
weeding out process that goes on from
This year they meet the Texas Aggies
for the first time and with a record
that bears only one blemish; a 10 to
7 defeat handed to them by the Uni
versity of Mississippi eleven. And
when the fact is taken into consider
ation that the football team of Missi
ssippi University is on a par with
Vanderbilt and other leading South
ern Conference teams, then the week
end opponents of the Aggies are
boasting of a team this year that
ranks among the leaders of the South.
From all reports as to the strength
of this team, the Farmers face a
tough game Friday; a game that
promises to approach the Sewanee-
Aggie itlt of last week.
