From all accounts, it would seem
that we have a close rival in the old
fight. Another student body in the
conference has discovered that a los
ing team needs support. In the game
with Baylor, the Texas students did
not stop yelling at all, although their
team was almost hopelessly behind
as far as the score goes. Even “Doc”
was surprised when, after the game,
a large crowd marched to his house
as though they had. won .the game.
Never before has the student body of
State shown any sympathy and sup
port for a losing team or coach, and
we admire them for the stand they
have taken this year. But do you re
alize what this means, gang ? It
means that we will be facing a team
Thanksgiving that is supported ap
parently as well as our own team. We
have about two weeks to think this
over, so stay in there and FIGHT.

The freight trains runing into Aus
tin seemed to have done a rushing
business last Saturday. And the Bay
lor students were highly commended
for their school spirit in making such
a sacrifice and suffering such dis
comforts in order to get to the game.
Well, that is just another difference
in A. and M. and Baylor, However
much we may ride the freights ,we
never do it as official A. and M. stu
dents for fear that some country
newspaper might take advantage of it
and publish to the world that the Tex
as Aggies are just a bunch of ordi
nary roughnecks who have nothing
else to do but beat the railroads .out
of their legitimate rates. Other schools
may do things like that and get by
with it, but whenever we attempt it,
it just doesn’t work so well.

Much has been said during the year
about the conduct of the student body
in the Assembly Hall. Also other
means were used to keep better order
during a show, but whatever caused
it, a very noticeable improvement has
been made, and the corps desrves
some credit for improvement. It is
hard to keep from following the cus
tom of doing whatever anyone starts,
and the kindness and consideration of
the cadets in refraining from doing
this is very much appreciated. This
is only the respect due the campus
people and should not require special
attention.
BRYAN, TEXAS,
COLLEGE PAYS
TRIBUTE TO ITS
HONORED DEAD
Monument of War Heroes Decorated
With Flowers as Senior Cadet
Officers Pass By.
The immortal heroes of A. and M.
who were killed in the World War
were honored Tuesday morning, the
anniversary of the signing of the
armistice, by a very impressive cere
mony before the monument which
bears their names. The touching sug
gestiveness of the military tribute
was typified well by the salute and
the sounding of taps in remembrance
of the College World War dead.
The whole program was a fitting
tribute to the valor and sacrifice of
those who have gone before. The
opening prayer was followed by the
calling of the roll of the dead by Ca
det Colonel F. M. Stubbs. The floral
offerings laid at the monument by the
cadet officers symbolized that rever
ence which the College feels for the
men who so splendidly represented it
before the world. Probably the firing
of the salute and the sounding of taps
moved the audience more than any
thing else to a feeling of solemnity
and silent tribute.
While the tributes to the dead he
roes of the College concerned the past,

Advance information has been re

people are coming in large numbers,-—
most of them as supporters of the
Rice team. Others are coming to en
joy the hospitalities extended to them
by Aggieland. At any rate there will
be a monster crowd to witness the
