THE BATTALION 11 WINNERS LOOM UP IN BASKET BALL LEAGUES DURING SECOND WEEK OF SCHEDULE Contenders for Title in Basketball Are in Evidence as the Season Progresses. With the completion of the first two weeks of the Intramural Basket ball schedule over likely winners for the title in each league are to be seen. As the teams are practicing more reg ularly and with more interest the games become more nearly equalized in the total points scored by each team. There seems to be better reg ulation in the practice periods and a little more realization of why the schedule is being so strongly backed by the Athletic Department for the players are! going in the games with quite a bit more fight than was in evidence during the first week’s play. The Artillery teams have a mighty good practice court since they have suspended their “bombing” and have put up a goal in the court of their building. Mitchell and Milner halls could follow the “Serenaders” advan tageously. This week in League “A”, Co. “I” defeated the Band 2 to 0 with Wood of the victors showing up best. The Band was also beaten by Troop “A” 12 to 10 with Furneaux of the Cav alry doing most of the work. In League “B”, Co. “B” beat “A” Battery by a score of 8 to 5. Fix of the Batterymen did some mighty good guarding for his team. The Casuals defeated Troop “B” 8 to 5 with Norton of the “Leads” doing the best work. Co. “G” won two games since the last report by defeating Co. “C” 14 to 6 and “B” Signal Corps 10 to 4. Short did most of the work in both games. Co. “H” took the lead in League “D” this week, having turned in two wins since the last report, defeating the Air Service by a score of 11 to 5 and Co. “D” 13 to 4. There have been several other games played but the managers have not as yet turned in their reports and consequently the players are not re ceiving credit for the work they have been doing. The reports carried over too long cannot be given any credit at all. The reports should be turned in to Room 19 Leggett by Saturday night of each week in order that they may be published in the next week’s issue of the Battalion. LEAGUE STANDING.

This time it comes from our friends, the boys from the Institute, with the statement that the umpire in the Ag gie-Owl game last Friday dealt out un just penalties to them and they have gone so far as to commit the childish act of threatefiing to protest the game on this ground. We really thought that they could take defeat better than this. What would they have done had they been dealt out 90 yards in pen alties as we were in the T. C. U. game, or the many yards that Quigley set us back in Dallas when the Ag gies played S. M. U.? And still fur ther they kick about the pass that was snaked up by a Rice player off of the ground, claiming that this man caught it in the proper manner. Oh, well! Such is life. * ❖ ❖ The following incident that occurred during the progress of the Rice game is worthy of mention: During the first half, Cy Ed wards sent Bob Oaks around to AMERICAN STEAM LAUNDRY BRYAN, TEXAS We Will Appreciate Your Laundry Work, Cleaning and Pressing, Dyeing and Hat Blocking W.

This yell leader re- . plied that they would take the first part, because by the time that the first half was over, the Aggies would feel so sick that they would probably abandon their plans of forming the famous Aggie “T”. :jc In passing, we will say that the “Boy Scouts” lived up to their motto, “Be Prepared” to the letter. CLEBURNE BOY STARS IN RODEO AND PAGEANT Among the would-be and ex-cow boys who assisted in putting over a rodeo and pageant that will go down in the annuls of theatrical history of A. and M., there appeared one typical ranch hand -whom one would, at first glance, recognize as being familiar with the code of the cow country. The familiar stride and hold and fearless attitude, at once segregated this man, Paul Huey—from the ameteur class. Paul, a senior in A. and M., clad in cowboy regalia merely to add color to the event, attended the pageant; with no expectation of participating, but as soon as he entered the arena the manager saw that no man but a real western cow man, who takes such events as a part of the day’s work, could so fittingly clad himself for such an occasion and his services were immediately solicited to “top” the noted incorrigible South Texes outlaw horse, “Funeral Wagon”, as no other man present had courage to undertake such a battle since this famed horse had never been success fully “fanned out” by contest rules. With his characteristic grace and poise, Huey calmly stepped into the “middle” of “Funeral Wagon” and with the choke rein in his left hand and his right hand always above his head, gave the audience a thrill as they witnessed the greatest riding- contest of the evening. —Cleburne Daily Times, November 13, 1924. A senior cadet, placid and calm Was visiting a friend down on the farm— He lept to a bough When pursued by a cow, And registered fear and alarm. They say that W. W. Frazier, an enterprising young sophomoi’e in the Battery, has brought a special set of military hair brushes to get a drag with Captain Monty. Or did he buy them ? AGRONOMY SOCIETY HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING The Agronomy Society had its reg ular meeting Wednesday evening in the Agronomy library. Mr. A. H. Leidigh, Assistant Vice-Director and Agronomist for the Experiment Sta tion, talked on some of the present i day problems which confront those en gaged in producing more and better crops. Mr. Leidigh spoke mainly on the work that the Experiment Station is doing with the small grains in Tex as. M. W. Carlton, a senior agronomy student, v/ho went to the Dallas Fair -on an observation trip, presented an impression of the agricultural exhib its. He gave more credit to the coun ty exhibits which show the benefits derived from research by the Experi ment Station and the effectiveness of this service to scientific farming. All persons desiring to join this so ciety should come to the meting the second Wednesday of December. T. ’E. Abby, Pres. M. D. Stanford, Secy.-Treas. Huff—You are mastering the cor net very well, Yett. Yett—Yes, but I can’t promise when I will have it subdued. THE SNAP AND STYLE OF Packard Shoes and their welcome to your feet, is a “Fact well proved.” Ask the man who wears them. A complete line of styles to please, both young men and men, at all times. W.
