The ever ready Sanger Clark was
a salvation the other night when
the Aggies were on the wrong end
of the score at the end of the first
half in the game with the Rice Owls-
Playing on convertible dance floor,
the Owls played the Aggies
off their feet but Sanger kinda
ruffled up some feathers when he got
out there and they would not skid.

Whoops my dears! An ingenuous
department of the college has
brought to us an old, game under a
new name—the name of it today is
“The Little Parade.” It is played on
the drill field; the contestants are
COLLEGE MEN who did something
the group knows as “The Thou Shalt
Nots” decreed that they should not
have done; they must play against
the five o’clock whistle. The judges
are arbitrarily selected to see that the
contestants do not walk too fast. The
general public is invited to attend
these games that are played every
Saturday and Sunday. A continuance
performance is guaranteed from one
till five. Playing such a game as that
on Sunday—isn’t that scandalous ?

We do not want our dear readers
to be misled. Through an oversight
on our part we allowed the News
Department of our paper work over
time on one of the recent issues. Rest
had to be taken before any more
such work could have been considered
again, in the last two issues evidence
of such a rest was brought to our
attention through the fact that some
of our old news had been printed. We
want the public and our fellow
students to know that we will not
play our Thanksgiving game in
Austin next season nor have any
Conference football games be played
within the last month or so.

INTRA-MURAL PROGRAM
MARKS NEW ERA IN
ATHLETICS OF THE
COLLEGE
Speedball will be an added Attrac
tion in the Sport Line.
During the past week there have
been three football games played in
the Intra-Mural league. The Air
Service refuses to be pulled from the
grip they have on that elusive first
place.
The first game was between the
Calvalry and the Composite Regi
ment, all that is known of the game
is that the score was 6 to 0 in favor
of the Cavalry.
The next game was a seemingly
fast one in which the Air Service
poured it on the Third Bn. 26 to 0.
For the Air Service Edgar and
Davidson did some very fast work
in advancing the ball, Knight, Westlel
Cuthrel and Dalton showed up well
in the line. FoTr the Third Bn. Cole
man, Montford and Florel showed up
■exceptionally well.
In the last game of the evening
the First Bn. defeated the Second Bn.
by a lopsided 27 to 0 score. The First
gained a major part of its ground on
passes that the Second could not
solve. Starring for the Second were
Miller, playing with an injured
shoulder, Decker, on the pivot, and
Lewis played good defensive games.
Schumman, a good defensive player
had his foot broken. For the First
the outstanding players were, Mills,
a good charger, Parrot, a pass
snatcher, Dodge in the line, with
Roland and Nearbeer.
When it was announced there
would be an intra-mural golf tourna
ment held the intra-mural director
was flooded with applications for
entry. To date there are over forty
nine signed up for the contest, this
exceeds the number that signed to
play in the one held last year, by an
overwhelming majority.
Those entered to play in the golf
tournament are requested to play
their qualifying round before the
current semester is over in order to
avoid any delay in regard to the way
the contestants are to be grouped in
the play-off of the tournament. When
the qualifying round has been played
those entered are requested to turn
their scores in to Mr. Penberthy at
the gym.
For the first time the college will
see a volley ball tournament carried
over in big style. Uprights have
already been erected on the tennis
courts where the games are to be
played. Some of te Battalion Mana
gers are very thoughtlessly delaying
the inauguaration of play by holding

AGGIES INVADE FOREIGN
TERRITORY
Face Stiff Competition.
A. & M. BASKET
TOSSERS WITH
The Aggies started Monday
training and preparing for a crucial
road trip that will mean much in the
way of the Conference title. Already
the Aggies have successfully invaded
foreign territory, when they took the
Rice Owls in tow at Houston.
The outcome of this invasion is not
one that can be easily predicted as
the Aggies run into some of the
severest competition they have this
season encountered when they meet
the Arkansas Razor Backs in Fayet-
ville on January 21 and 22. The
Arkansas team after winning two
straight from T. C. U., are topping
the Conference with four straight
wins and no losses.
On January 24 the Aggies will
take on the S. M. U. Mustangs in
Dallas. This game will be bitterly
contested as in the last game the
Aggies nosed the Mustangs out by a
three point margin in an extra
period. The next game the Aggies
play at home will be on January 29.
OLD AGGIE STARS SHINE AGAIN
Aggies, Bears, and Sooners Play
Together.
Those who had the good fortune
to see Jim Kendrick and his famed
Texas Rangers play during the
Christmas holidays saw some of
Aggielands most famed satellities
beam with irredescent glory once
more. Jim Kendrick, himself an old
Aggie star, picked his team from men
who once played in the Southwest
and Missouri Valley Conferences.
Old Aggies who did themselves
and their Alma Mater justice and
honor were “Mule” Wilson, Captain
of the Championship team of last
year; Barlow Irwin, another member
of the stellar 1925 eleven; and last
but far from least is the big Nealy
Allison who gave them fits when
he played the Aggie wing position
with Evans, Jim Kendrick an old
Aggie star, is responsible for the
accumulation of this group of stars
from the Southwest. Kendrick, the
originator and founder was also the
dictator when on the field, from the
quarterback position he issued his
orders.

FAST CROWD
Clark is High Point Man with 18
Points.
The Aggies won their second con
ference tilt Friday night when they
overcame an early lead piled up by
the Rice Owls and defeated them
29 to 28.
Rice got away to an early start
when they started hitting the basket
from all angles and positions, while
the Aggie youngsters could not do a
thing. At one time Rice had a 16
point lead, but the Aggies led by
Sanger Clark cut the lead to six
points at the half with 'the score 20
to 16 against them.
Clark was a high point man of the
encounter with eighteen points to his
credit. Billups of Rice with eleven
was the Owl high scorer.
The Aggies left Monday for a five
day road trip, playing two games
with Arkansas at Fayetville Friday
and Saturday, and dropping off at
Dallas for a return game with the
Mustangs on the following Monday
Night.

The College which dismissed a
student for wearing a flower in his
lapel at a botany quiz is said to have
had a campus statue torn down
because it leaned toward the wrong
church.
