ON TO AUSTIN!
At the present time there are several hundred cadets who have not bought
tickets for the Thanksgiving game.
There are a few who really want to go to Austin but cannot, due to
lack of finances. This is a condition that is to be regretted. But the as
tonishing and absolutely disgusting fact is that many students—most of
the Freshmen ’tis true— are going home instead of to Austin. Shades of
“Catfish” Goodwin and “Runt” Hanson. What has happened to these men
that they have so entirely missed the Aggie spirit as to do such an unheard
of thing?
Such men are not worthy of the name “Aggie.” They are not A. and M.
students; they are merely boys in attendance at this institution.
In those few cases where such action on the part of the student is justi
fiable, this editorial does not apply, but to those who are missing the
game for personal, selfish reasons—try some other school, you don’t fit here.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
In the gladness of the day and the joy of celebration let us not forget
the spirit of Thanksgiving and the motive which caused our forefathers, long-
years ago to set aside a day for reverence and glad rejoicings. The form
of Thanksgiving has naturally changed—but the spirit of the day and the
feeling it should call forth in us remain as of old.
We of A. and M. have much to be thankful for. Our school is thriving
under the judicious leadership of capable men. Every one of us should be
thankful that the opportunities of education and the forming of lasting friend
ships are ours for the seeking. And again, let us be thankful that on the af
ternoon of Thanksgiving Day we shall have the opportunity of supporting a
team which plays the game of football like we should all play the game of
life. Let us be thankful that we go to A. and M.—a college which has sacred
traditions of manhood and honor.

THE BAYLOR LARIAT.
We do not hate any one of our acquaintance, but we do hate the narrow,
cut-throat methods some schools use to try to elevate themselves in the
eyes of the public. The Baylor Lariat continues to harp on the erroneous idea
that the A. and M. cadets were entirely responsible for the few fights that
occurred after the Baylor-A. and M. game. It is true that some few of our
2200 students are not the most desirable types of young manhood, yet we
are positive that Baylor can match every one of that type man for
man. It is probable that the undesirable element of both schools came to
gether after the game at Waco and started all the trouble. Yet the Baylor
Lariat, in its own characteristic narrow manner, is trying to kindle the fire
of hatred between ours and the Baylor student body by upholding the “rough
neck” element of its own school. Lariat, why not try, as we are trying,
through the columns of your paper to discourage all such practices as caused
all the trouble at Waco? Maybe we are asking too much, for it is difficult
for one who has reached the HEIGHTS OF PERFECTION as they seem to
have, to see the dirt on one’s own hands.
