THE BATTALION
be a realization of their fondest
dreams.
With these things to fight for, to
gether with the traditions and the
name of the school, the team that
Stewart sends on the field can be ex
pected to turn in the battle of the
season for the Orange and White. All
of the men that have unfortunately
been in the hospital before every
game of the season but who always
managed to crawl down to the field on
the day of the game, will be in the
lineup and these men include some of
the best in the Southwest. These
players have been living for the day
to arrive when the Aggies would come
to Austin for the annual battle with
the University.
On the other hand, the Aggies are
in a peculiar situation. They have
lost only one game during the season
and have amassed a large total num
ber of points against two score some
odd of their opponents. They have,
perhaps, the best defensive club in the
conference, together with a fair run
ning and passing attack.
The entire team is in good condi
tion, with perhaps a few exception:'.
The coaches, Bible, Rothgeb, and
Pierce, have left nothing undone m
the way of preparation for the bat
tle. Word received from the Long
horn camp is to the same effect. Then-
hospital list has been discontinued
and will be ready when the referee s
whistle blows Thursday afternoon.
To concede an advantage to either
team would be an act committed in
gross ignorance of the traditions oc
the two schools. It will be a fight—
a fight from whistle to whistle and
the outcome will depend entirely upon
the way the student bodies support
their teams. The cadet corps wjti
meet the first and only real opposition
in yelling they will encounter the en
tire season. We must win, men, and
to do it depends upon you.

PARADE OF CADET CORPS
TO BEGIN DAY IN AUSTIN
(Continued from Page 1)
expression of the spirit of every Ag
gie—and all ex-Aggies as well—will
become a reality looked forward to
with the keenest anticipation when
the corps and officials of the college
board the four special trains day af
ter tomorrow morning. The out
ward aspects of the embarkation will
not be different from the appearance
of previous corps trips. Anyone even
slightly familiar with A. and M. tra
ditions, however, will unconsciously
detect a feeling which will really per
meate the air. That feeling has been
evident for a long time, and on Thurs
day morning will culminate in what
is destined to be the most successful
corps trip since the Austin trip year
before last.
Four special trains will carry the
students, college officials, and Bryan
people to Austin over the I. *and G.
N. road. The order in which the
corps will board the trains will be
the same as the order in which it
boarded the trains to Waco on No
vember 1. The first section will carry
the First and Second Battalions of
Infantry, the second section the Third
Battalion of Infantry and the Air
Service and Signal Corps, the third
section will convey the Cavalry Squad
ron and the Field Artillery Batteries,
and the fourth section will carry the
Band, Civilian Students, Faculty
Members, and Bryan people. The
trains are due in Austin at eleven
o’clock at the I. and G. N. station on
3rd street. The rate for the round
trip is $5.45.
Rifles and side-arms will not be
taken on the trip. Immediately on
arriving in Austin, the corps will pa
rade in a column of platoons up Con
gress Avenue to the martial music of
our own Aggie Band. The Third
Battalion of Infantry will justly lead
the parade because of the unfortunate
accident of the Waco trip which kept
the Battalion out of the pai-ade. Other
wise the order of march will be the
same as it was in the Waco parade.
As the platoons swing past the bal
cony of the Stephen F. Austin hotel
they will be reviewed by Governor
Pat M. Neff, Governor-elect Miriam
Ferguson, President W. M. W. Splawn
of Texas University, our own Prexy,
Dr. W. B. Bizzell, and other state of
ficials and dignitaries. The corps
will disband at the temporary capitol
grounds on Eleventh and Congress and
everyone will then have an opportunity
to get coffee and sandwiches. Free
checking rooms will be provided at
the Chamber of Commerce at the
Elk’s Club on 7th and Colorado Sts.
Our justly-famous cadet band will
be conveyed to the stadium in time to
lead the dedication procession on the
field at 1:45 p. m. That band will
reach the climax of a well-deserved
recognition when it proudly marches
on the field at the head of a distin
guished gathering of state officials
and other persons concerned in the
building of the stadium. The sight
of our band should be enough to cause
the corps to demonstrate that widely-
known Aggie spirit in a more deter
mined form than it has ever reached
before. It hardly seems necessary
to remind cadets that they should be
at the stadium by 1:30 p. m. Our
band will be there. The dedication
ceremony will be over by 2:15, and the
real dedication—the football game—
begins at 2:30.

The departure of the special trains
for College beginning at 7:30 p.m., will
mark the close of a day that is sure
ly fated to be unforgettable. Many
of the cadets will visit their homes af
ter the game; others will come back to
College to celebrate.

MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN ERECTED
AT ENTRANCE TO Y. M. C. A.
A beautiful water fountain was
recently installed on the left of the
main entrance to the Y. M. C. A.
The fountain is about three feet high
and has four drinking places. It is
made of Vermont marble and is ar
tistically carved. On one side, the
following inscription is found:
“In Memory of J. M. Woodson, Jr.,
Lovingly known as ‘Peg’ .”
“Peg” Woodson was a student at
A and M. when the United States en
tered the World War. “Peg” joined
the army and gave his life serving
his country—and his is one of the
fifty-two golden stars that are found
on the A. and M. College service flag.
The fountain is a gift of the par
ents of “Peg” Woodson, and soon fit
ting dedication services will be held.
