THE BATTALION 7 PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR THE COMING INTRAMURAL SPORTS Posts here, posts there, posts every where. Everywhere you look you see four-by-fours planted firmly in the ground with rings or cross-bars near the top. Why all this excess lum ber sticking up all over the campus ? When the basketball season started, posts went up with backboards and rings on the tops and everyone knew what they were for. In the vicinity of Dean Kyle’s house there are two sets of posts with cross-bars at the tops, and these are for the game of soccer. Down toward the post office there are three volley ball courts. The matter became serious when a couple of the staff happened to pass by the far end of Hollywood and saw two sets of posts with two single bars across the tops. After analyzing the situation and noting in which neighborhood the posts were placed, it was decided that the Signal Corps had decided to take up “aerial string ing” as a sport. Coach House came by about that time and said that the contraptions were made for cage ball. At the last meeting of the All-Spors Managers, Coach House stated that Intramural track would begin soon as well as swimming, hare-and-hound, and football. Coach Anderson will be in charge of the track depart ment, and the meet he puts on this year will be a good one. A certain number of points will be accorded the team for each man entered in the meet so it iooks like the organization with the largest number of men stands the better chance of winning. If, however, a man’s name is listed and he fails to show up or finish his race after he has once started, his team loses a certain number of points. The junior managers for track, swim ming etc., will be called together soon and given instructions as to the con ducting of their teams. The “Y” has offered a proposition to the Intramural department which may be of interest to many men. They have agreed to issue for one dollar a card which entitles the holder to the privileges of the pool for one month. This was done in order that those going out for the swimming teams might have a chance to condition up a bit before the meet. If at any time the holder of the card desires to buy a “Y” card he may receive credit for the dollar spent on the special card. “Hare-and-hound” is going to be an interesting event. However, it will not be quite the same as one man in the Artillery imagined it. Somehow he took the notion that, as in the time of Sir Roger De Coverly, he would be mounted on a galloping quadruped following a pack of hounds who were in hot pursuit of the hare. The fiery steed will be ruled out of this race, but there is no reason why a man with a healthy pair of “dogs” shouldn’t compete in the chase. Before Christmas football will have started, and the process of elimina tion will have begun so that when school is started after the holidays the schedule can be played off before the end of the term. Uniforms will be issued by the Athletic Department as soon as possible, and each organi zation will probably be issued a ball right away so that preliminary prac tice may be started.

Barton. Thirty-one thousand tickets have .already .been sold to the game, Bellmont said.” ❖ ❖ * Again we hear from the all-confer ence gripes—from a university that every other college dislikes to meet on the gridiron because of their warped ideas of fair play—telling us and the people of Texas that steps will be taken at Austin to prevent the repe tition of the so-called outrages they accuse the entire student body of A. and M. of committing on November 1, in Waco. Criticism from such a source is an insult; for we dislike to see the name of A. and M. appear on the front page of a college paper whose reputation for veracity is none the best. The Baylor Lariat is dragging our reputation through the mire of slander at every opportunity; misrepresenting the true motives that are behind any attempt we or any others make to preserve order. Other papers over the State have given the correct version of the compact that L. T. Bellmont of the University has made with the Texas Rangers. Baylor should remember the many unthoughtful acts committed by them that aroused and incited the more belligerent of the Aggie supporters, acts that the student body of Univer sity would not think of lowering themselves to perform. Some day reparation will be demanded for the attempt made by Baylor to change the amiable relations now existing be tween A. and M. and University. Tex as is our traditional rival, but what championships we fail to get, we want the University to annex.
