FIRST BATTALION
CLAIMS COMPANY BAS
KETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Co. “A” and Co. “B” Tangle for
Championshop Honors.
The championship will have been
decided by the time this issue of the
paper is circulated and the winner of
the finals known, but at the writing
the two teams who are to play for the
championship of the Intramural bas
ketball leagues are the first two com
panies of the First Battalion.
The leaders of all four leagues
turned out to be infantry companies
and in the semi-finals Company “A”
defeated Company “G” and Company
“B” defeated Company “F”. All four
teams finished in their respective
leagues without a single defeat. Coach
Damon of Company “A”, and Coach
Larkin of Company “B”, have develop
ed two exceptionally good teams out
of the material at hand.
Last year there were eight teams
in the league and teams were picked
from large organizations, but this
year with twenty-two teams, compos
ing four leagues, the chances for the
development of good teams have been
held back and a coach was indeed for
tunate to find five good men in his
company to place on a field.
More men have participated in bas
ketball this year than ever before
and consequently the purpose of this
portion of the intramural program has
been realized.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CLUB
HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING
The Chemical Engineering Club
held a very interesting meeting Fri
day night, December 12. The meeting
was opened by a short address from
the president of the club, M. R. How
ard. He then introduced the chair
man of the program committee, A. E.
Flowers, who outlined the work and
aim of the club for the current year.
In line with the plans, the main talk
of the evening was made by Joe Mil
ler on an important phase of chem
istry, “Casinghead Gasoline.” The
speaker gave an instructive talk show
ing that the importance of the new
gasoline was increasing. The work in
the senior year touches on this phase
of oil chemistry, and the speaker cov
ered his subject adequately.
Both Dr. C. C. Hedges and Mr. M.
K. Thornton were called upon to make
talks of their recent trip to Ft. Worth
where they attended the meeting of
the American Petroleum Institute. Dr.
Hedges told of the occurrences at the
various meetings of the newly found
ed institute, which is composed of
several thousand members. Mr.
Thornton outlined the scope of the re
cently organized society. According
to him, the object of the institute is to
afford the means to do extensive re
search work in the petroleum industry.
Besides this, members have subscrib
ed a large fund for establishing what
is known as a Public Relations De
partment. It seems that every large
industry has realized the importance
of such a department in order to keep
in close contact with the vast public.
Mr. Thornton mentioned that such de
partments offered a large field for
ambitious and industrious men who
did not wist to do technical or engi
neering work after graduation.
The program committee announced
that at the next meeting a junior
Chemical Engineer would present a
paper before the club. Much interest
was manifested at this meeting, and
it is hoped that after the holidays the
interest in the meetings will continue
to increase.

Breezes blowing,
Moon a shining,
Scent o’ flowers,
Vines a’ twining.
Leaves a’ falling,
Autumn’s bliss,
A tear, a sigh,
A lover’s kiss.

Why Students Fail.
Too little sleep, too much play, not
enough study, too much leisure, fast
eating and diversified thinking are
factors that devitalize students and
are responsible for the ‘delinquent
groups’ found in every university, ac
cording to a report made public by
Professor Howard of Northwestern
University.

go, bit a dog. He admitted to the
police that after drinking moonshine
he fell in with a large mongrel which
he bit. Lynch bit the canine so se
verely that it had to be shot.
