    THE BATTALION
5
A. H. RODEO
(Continued from Page 1)
specifically Del Rio, a regular cow-
puncher with an itching palm, was
elected Business Manager and we
not attend, for the excitement will
he too great for the weak hearted
to withstand. For this reason Love
the fairest of Texas. Oh, boys, won’t
that be a grand and glorious feeling
for that King? Oh, well, every dog
Rodeo of this great institution of
learning.
Yessiree, plans are already under
*vay and those ambitious juniors of
that famous Saddle and Sirloin Club
(we say juniors because they are
the ones promoting it) have elected
officers for that gorgeous rodeo and
they are as follows: Ralph Howe
was elected Ringmaster and he prom
ises to be the type of ye ole time
circus master with ye long tail
coat and hob-nailed boots. If there
are any wild bronchoes and steers
to be found and brought here, Howe
certainly knows where to find them.
George Love, from the Rio Grande,
know now that the club will make
money with Little George handling
the cash. For decorations, Spud
Tatum was made the goat but Spud
is going to show us hoW artistic
he can be, and we don’t mean may
be. “Ma” Ferguson has the adver
tising and “Doc” Farmer is head of
the Social Committee.
These fellows mean to put it over
big and that means that they are
going to make it better than ever.
Last year the rodeo was a knock
out and by all indications it seems
that the one this year will not only
be a knockout but also a dragout.
Promoters have agreed that if one
hasn’t a strong heart he had better
will have a large sign barring the
poor little weak hearted. (The in
side dope on this is that Love does
not want to get sued in case a
fatality happens. Now don’t tell any
one.)
The rodeo always has its King
and he is elected from the student
body. There is something, after
all, for you wonder shieks to look
forward to. It is simple to be the
ONE. The only and sure way to
have a cinch for the crown is to
go around and get a “drag” with
the officers of the affair and have
them to elect you. Simple isn’t it?
The King chooses his own Queen
and he has the privilege to pick from
has his day.
The date for the rodeo has been
set for November 16th., Friday
night, the eve of the Rice game and
that means that we will have to get
right on that night or make it mis
erable for Business Manager Love
by suing him for breach of promise.

in industrial fields,
too ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Must the exhilaration of contests
waged and won die out of life on Com
mencement Day?
It must not. And it does not —
not for many a college man who
has discovered that the world out
side of college walls is no less col
orful than the world within.
For industry too has her five yard
lines to mark a man’s progress—her team
play—and her goal posts. There are always
victories to win—achievements to attain!
Sub-atomic secrets to be wrested from
Nature; temperamental Commerce
made to conform to consistent and sci
entific laws; mechanical, chemical and
electrical forces made to lift the
burden of Production from men’s ^
backs—these are everyday victories
still waiting to be won by men in
college today.
