THE BATTALION
TORO
(Continued from Page 5)
ver a letter of congratulation and
said that I hoped we could get along
as well as Cal. and I got along,
but you know Cal. could get along
with anyone and appear to his best
advantage as President of a Deaf
and Dumb Institute. I’m just a little
afraid that Hoover will carry this
business of saving someone a little
too far. I hardly know how he will
get along with out a healthy flood
or some starving children. He might
come down here during the rainy
season and pretty near any time and
save us from starving.
So I’m for Mr. Hoover now. He
is a big man. And that reminds me,
I wonder what makes so many big
bay windows during these days of
ultra dryness? But I’m all wet
there and must hasten to do some
thing else and no reflection on Mr.
Hoover. The democrats did that
pretty well.

The other Tuesday afternoon, the
one of the hop-skip and jump the
mud-puddles, review. You soldiers
know which one I mean, I went over
to the Y for a little game of Bil
liards. And what do you think hap
pened. Nothing. We could not play.
We could not use the little sticks
and balls to play with. The tables
were covered (as they are on Sun
day to keep us from going to hell)
and the basement looked cheerful
as a morgue.
It was not the “Y’s” fault. From
somewhere on up in that higher j
strata of military law and order,
brr-r-r, came the order to close down
o:n Tuesday afternoon to keep the
feebler characters of the Corpse
from missing that great joy of drill,
and playing pool instead. And if
the Casualalities desires exercise
they could twiddle thumbs or get
back in the Corpse, “where they
belonged,” as I hear it.
Now, what has drill got to do
with us girls of the Alphabet-PGs.
We are not getting credit for miss
ing a game of billiards or staying
out of the Army (more credit to us).
I never cared to play very much
billiards and I can’t play very well,
but now my entire soul cries out for
a game on Tuesday afternoon from
one to four and I believe that I and
the rest of us military deficiencies
are being gipped. What did we get
out of the Army for anyway?

Several of my intimate • friends
went to Dallas, saw the game and
were even able to relate some of the
details. They gave evidence of know
ing who had the ball and what the
score was. I know the world is get
ting better.

I love to go to the Zoo and watch
the animals feed and that’s the rea
son that I love to walk through the
Mess Hall at meal time, and listen
to everyone enjoy their food.
Ah, pardon me, said the prisoner
as he bumped into the Governor.

A. & M.-TEXAS GAMES
(Continued from Page 1)
the hands of a Southwest Confer
ence team.
That dope has nothing to do with
the probable outcome of the Aggie-
Longhorn tilts and that comparative
scores mean nothing when the two
ancient rivals meet, however, is prov
en by the scores of recent years. In
fact, to be favored to win an Ag
gie-Longhorn grid contest is to be
handicapped if one is to take the
results of the games in 1923, 1924,
1925 and 1926 as examples.
In 1923, playing on Kyle Field,
where only one conference team had
ever beaten the Aggies under Bible’s
regime, the Aggies were favored to
win and the Longhorns came away
with the best end of a 6-0 score.
The next year the Aggies were again
the favorites and this time an al
most miraculous catch of a pass en
abled a Longhorn gridster to cross
the Aggies’ goal for the only touch
down of the game and the Steers
won, 7-0. In 1925 the Longhorns were
considered so far in advance of the
Aggies that although the game was
to be played on Kyle Field the
Texas team was favored to win with
ease. The Aggies upset the dope
by winning 28-0. An apparent weak
ening of the Longhorn team toward
the latter part of the season brought
the Aggies into favor for the 1926
tilt but, running true to form, the
underdog won, 14-5. The game last
season is the. only one in recent
years to result as the dopesters fig
ured. The Aggies were the victors,
28-7.
RODEO AND PAGEANT
(Continued from Page 1)
and he has formed an unique pro
gram to satisfy our whims. The
first event that our eyes will be
hold will be the colorful pageant
full of beautiful girls. This will be
followed by the Three Gaited Saddle
Class event, and after that, the la
dies’ jumping exercises. This will
conclude the exclusive events and
their imported participants, and the
events following these will be the
most noted, for the contestants will
be the westerners of our student
body and should afford us some real
side-bursting- laughter. The ground is
more than hard, and a good many
of the wild boys will find that out
before the rodeo is over.
The Mounted Wrestling and The
Wild Cow Milking Contests are dop
ed out by strategists to be the best
an the card, for these have always
afforded the. best laughs. The steer,
mule, and bronc riding will be fea
tures without a doubt, for real hon-
est-to-goodness cowboys will be the
riders and what they can’t do on an
animal is nobody’s business.
Manager George Love states that
the tickets are selling like the Tex-
as-Aggie game tickets and that
means that we had better grab one
while we can, for we would never
forgive ourselves if we missed this
wild and wooly rodeo. The one this
year, by all indications, will sur
pass any of the preceeding ones and
it will be a greater and better show.
Well, we will have to wait and see
if it is, and until Friday night is
not long to wait.
