THE BATTALION

lose the ball by downs. With the
play on the seven-yard line 'two at
tempts to carry the score across
were smeared, a short pass, Dorsey
to Mills put the Aggies on the 4-
yard line, fourth down up and two
minutes to play, a pass Mills to
Zarafonetis over the goal line netted
the matching touchdown. The hard
feature of the game was the failure
to kick goal.
OWLS COMING.
(Continued from Page 10)
ing of Bible the Rice boys had been
stepping on the Farmers at will. In
1914 A. and M. swamped the Owls
32-7, the following year the Owls
got a 7-0 victory, and not being con
tent with that, they beat the Ag
gies 20-0 in 1916.
™ 'Pfcejjtrjpible ' appeared and declared
sufh a situation and the
■B 1 armers i have suffered only the
^■me defat. Bible’s first team, which
Wwas undefeated and S. W. C. champ
ions, walloped the Feathery Tribe
10-0. The Aggies did not meet the
Owls again until 1920 and that year
administered a 7-0 beating. In 1921
Bible’s team, which won another
championship and defeated Centre
College, Champions of the United
States 22-14, barely tied the Owls,
the score being 7-7. In ’22, the Ag
gies retaliated with a 24-0 win, but
next year the Farmers met defeat
7-6. The Aggies won the next four
games easily; 16-13, 17-0, 20-0, and
14-0.
Again this year the Owls are
weak-—maybe. They displayed plen
ty fight against the Longhorns and
nearly .whipped, the Texans. All the
critics said the Institute boys were
playing above their heads and would
probably lose the remainder of their
games by large scores. But again,
Saturday, the Owls gave the dope
bucket another kick and held the
mighty T. C. U. crew to a 7-0 win;
they outplayed the Frogs the first
part of the game and T. C. U.
was lucky to score on the pass in the
closing moments of play. Thus Rice
came back again and it is just as
possible for the Rice boys to out
fight the Aggies and maybe win—
the Owls have their feathers ruffl
ed and are fighting to remain in
the Conference; so we are going to
have to fight the Owls just as hard
as we fought the Mustangs.

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT
The modern college youth is not
much worse than his predecessors
and that can be proved by the truth
ful story of what the A. and M.
College cadets did back in the year
1880, or thereabouts. About that
time there occured a tremendous mi
gration of negroes to the state of
Kansas and the Middle Western
country. Thousands of colored folks
were lured to leave Texas through
promises of land by colonization
ag'ents and real-estate dealers. One
huge caravan of over 2,000 darkies
camped one night just south of the
A. and M. campus. They were travel
ing over-land in wagons drawn by
horses and mules. The sum of the
military equipment of the college
at that time was a pair of small
brass cannon. The cadets filled these
with powder, dragged them close
to the camp of the colored folks,
and while the singing and dancing
around the campfire was at its
height, set them off. The noise was
tremendous. Every horse and mule
stampeded. The negroes, themselves,
were frightened nearly to death and
many of them ran all the way to
Millican before stopping. Negroes,
horses, mules and cattle were scat
tered all over Brazos county for
several days. Many old-timers well
remember the incident. So be care
ful, Dads, when you tell your son
how the boys of your day behaved
themselves.—Texas Aggie.
