a THE BATTALION SATURDAY’S GAME. (Continued from Page 10) and come back for more and deal out more. Let’s quit worrying about a conference championship. We are not out of this race by any means. Our job is to beat Arkansas, and Old Army we can do it. If every man will put out the faith, talk fight, dream the victory and above all keep that old fighting heart and determination to win. G'et this straight, Gang, we are not fighting for a championship, but for the honor of A. and M. and those loyal sons of hers, who have lived and fought and upheld the traditions that we still so proudly bear. Remember the immortal lines of Kipling: “If you can hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. If you can see the things you’ve given your life to, broken and stoop and build it up again with old and worn out tools.” That’s our situation and our task, men. Let’s go back and get some of the doctrine of old Beaumont Buck, one of the great yell leaders of old Ag- gieland. The years have come and gone without our winning from Bay lor. We had a fair team, just as this year. Buck and that old Corps went to Waco in that grim fighting mood determined to do or die. That little team went against a great Baylor team. Driving, lashing, demons, hurl ed forward by an incessant fighting roar from those Aggie stands. When the game ended and the dust settled A. and M. was once more victor ious. Get set men, get mad and get ready, for we’ve just begun to fight. We’re down but far from out, and from now on it’s up to us to tighten up that old belt, dig in our toes and show a few of the smart “Dopesters” what A. and M. fight and spirit can do and accomplish. It’s your job men, can you carry the load ?

Three types of leaves grow on the tobacco plant... coarse top-leaves, irritating to the throat. . . withered ground-leaves, without taste or aro ma . . . and the heart-leaves, rich in cool and fragrant smoking qualities.
