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.

THE DOPE BUCKET.

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.
