THE BATTALION
INTRAMURAL PROGRAM
(Continued from Page 8)
out the list of their players they are
to turn in. Managers who have not
complied with the regulations of
immediate action will get on the line
and do so at once. Co-operation with
the intta-mural officials has been
below par—a show of a little life
from all concerned will help the pre
gram progress more efficiently and
more rapidly.
The latest addition to the already
large number of intra-mural sports
will be the game of speedball. This
game is meeting with much approval
wherever it is being played. Speed
ball is sure to be met with much
acclaim at A. M. It is an assortment
of Aggielaftds most lauded sports,
being a combination of football, base
ball, and soccer. Play in the new
game will start as soon as football
is over.
It was announced in last weeks
issue that the play in tennis had been
completed but due to a lack of infor
mation the winner was not announ
ced. Hyland, of Company A Infantry,
was the winner,, defeated Lap ham in
the finals by a score of 6 to 0, 6 to 2.
In the doubles play there were enter
ed fifty two and in the singles there
were seventy five.
ARCHITECTS GIVE ANNUAL
DANCE.
The Architectual Club will give its
annual dance in the Architectural
drafting room on Friday evening,
February 4. The following commit
tees have been appointed: Decoration,
C. E. Wooldridge; Eats, H. E. Bels-
her; Floor, H. E. Kellner; Reception,
R. M. Bacher.
The fcscheme of decoration will be
that of' a French garden during the
period of Louis XVI. The same
unique features of decoration that
characterize this ball will be preval
ent in this years dance. Further plans
have not been decided on but the
committees have gone to work on
their respective tasks.
The Architectural dance each year
is the outstanding social event of
the club. It is hoped that the dance
will be even more popular than ever
before.
BOY’S CLUB SHOCKS CHICAGO
NOT A SINGLE AMERICAN
MEMBER
CITIZENSHIP.
It is only a short while until sev
eral hundred of our seniors finish
School and go out into the state as
citizens. The old idea of the college
graduate being the brains of the com
munity is of course obsolete, never
theless the man with the higher edu
cation has certain duties to perform
in the line of doing his duty as a cit
izen. If he is not going to lead the
way, he should at least be prepared
to follow intelligently. In this connec
tion, we picked up a circular sent out
by the Department of Education at
Austin. This circular is addressed to
the teachers of the state and asks
them to help put the situation up to
the high school pupils of Texas. We
wonder how many seniors at A. and
M. can answer all or even a respec
table part of the following questions:
(1) Who are subject to payment
of poll taxes ?
(2) The state poll tax is one dol
lar and fifty cents. What use is made
of this money?
(3) The county poll tax, when lev
ied, is twenty-five cents. For what is
this money used?
(4) A great many people think
they pay their poll tax in order to
get the privilege of voting; this is
not true. Why is a poll tax levied?
(5) What relation is there between
the right of suffrage and the pay
ment of poll tax?
(6) Is a person a good citizen who
refuses to qualify for voting ?
(7) Why should each person vote?
(8) Approximately how many per
sons in Texas are subject to poll tax?
(9) Explain the relation between
tax paying and patriotism?
YODLE LOVE.
O Yodle Love—O slowly, slowly blend
Thy sweetness to a sound, or treble.
In fullness to my heart, O sing,
Or yodle, love—yea, ’tis comforting.
0 Love, my Love, O Yodle Love,
The tune in likeness of my desire,
And hallow be thy voice, Love,
1 Should fate thy life now call afar.
Let there be love and no deceiving,—
' ay,
Let there be truce a drawing nigh—
O Love for love, comforting love—-O
love
Thou know not of!

Should the reaction be a favorable
one, Aggieland will have the oppor
tunity of playing host to sixteen of
Texas’ best high school basketball
teams, representing every section of
the state. The tournament will be
held on Friday and Saturday, March
4th and 5th.

Loyal residents of Chicago who be
lieve this to be the only 100 per cent
American city in the United States,
have received a severe shock through
announcement of the existence here
of a Y. M. C. A boys’ club which is
a miniature League of Nations. The
comparison holds, for though there
is an observer-advisor in the person
of J. W. Weir, Y. M. C. A. secretary,
the club contains not one American
member.
Among the members are a Russian,
Hungarian, a German, Ukranian,
Lithuanian, Austrian, Italian, Czech,
Chinese, two Poles, and one Irish and
one Scotch boy. According to Dezso
Rozsa, the youthful Hungarian presi
dent, the boys are interested in
“world brotherhood”—the creation of
“friendly relations between all
nationalities.”

O Yodle Love, O yodle
While fancies rove where longing go
When I’m alone near indolence,
While night-breath lures my sense:
O luxury so sumptious in song,
Betimes thy yodle, velvet-soft,
Is clos’d on memory when long
Afore in sleep thou’st pass’d aloft.
—By Jean Stout.
NIGHT.
With finger-clutch tense.
Night grips the last sun-rays
And flings to Earth
Their glow,
While over Earth
Twilight roams
And fangs the day.
The speculative stars.
From their bay of ease,
Scarcely award
A vision below.
Night bears a dumbness,
And Life holds Death and ease.
—By Jean Stout.
Sargeant Wright says that a “legal
light” is 50 watts per man.
Resists Corrosion
r S 'HIS picture, taken in the salt marshes near
JL Kearny, N. J., shows two lines of 30-inch Cast
Iron Pipe replacing pipe made of other material.
The alternate exposure to the action of salt water
and air is a severe test.
While the pipe shown in the picture is subjected to
unusual corrosive influences, all underground pipe
must be able to withstand corrosion to a greater or
less degree. Cast Iron Pipe has this quality. It does
not depend on its coating to resist rust; the material
itself is rust-resisting. The first Cast Iron Pipe ever
laid is in service today at Versailles, France, after
two hundred and sixty years’ service.
