THE BATTALION
THE PAN
By D. B. McNerney
The cadet corps—
comes in for a good “panning” if
it doesn’t attend the Thanksgiving
game as nearly one-hundred per
cent strong as is financially possi
ble. The last Thursday of each No
vember marks the climax of A and
M’s school year because on that day
we meet our sister school of the
yellow—jersies. Believe us, those
who don’t go will miss a whale of
a battle that’s due to leave Texas’
Memorial gridiron red hot. That’s
where the PAN comes in and we’re
banking on having it filled with
fresh beef.
Rice’s childish exhibition—
of school spirit surprised and dis
gusted us last week when we beheld
the results of their painting skill.
We suppose that they will warn us
to post some of our “slimes” as
night-watchmen next time, but,
really, we had thought such pranks
were done by only high school stu
dents whose fervent love for alma
mater is expressed in this manner.
Since they have beaten us—
our literary chastisement might

sound like the whine of a poor los
er, however we feel assured that
had the opposite happened on the
gridiron. Rice’s “handwriting on the
wall” trick would have been panned
regardless.
This isn’t the first time—
that this has been done to us but
before it was done on a less signifi
cant scale and might have been
attributed to local sources. The re
cent example, however, was quite
bold and without a doubt was the
handiwork of the boys from the
Institute. We may be crude and
rough but we don’t run around in
other people’s back yards and daub
paint all over their property.
Here’s a surprise fellows—
The S M U campus publication re
cently carried an article which in
dicated that our “effeminate-toned”
yell, “lizzie,” hadn’t made such a
favorable impression upon the stu
dents of the red and blue. The ar
ticle then attempted retaliation with
the following: “May The Campus
ask—when did the Farmers achieve
the name of Army? Is it not rather
high flown to class A and M with
the famous West Point eleven and
since they do not necessarily have
to enter the army of the United
States, by what virtue do they get
the name?”
In answering the gentleman—
we will admit that we are far out
classed by the school along the Hud
son, in some ways. However if some
•of the skeptical Methodists would
condescend to “slum” it a bit by
spending a week or so with us
they would surely see that we are
justified in calling ourselves “Ole
Ahmee.” Their right to the name
of Mustangs surely can’t be ques
tioned because their conduct at
times personifies at least one mem
ber of the equine family.
With all this dirt cleaned out the
PAN will be ready for the big beef
'dinner tomorrow; “corned” beef at
that, we guess.

BRYAN AND COLLEGE
Running under the most unfavor
able conditions on muddy and slick
track, Fish Fuentes, Troop H, of San
Antonio came in for first place in the
annual intramural cross country meet
which was won by Battery F last
Sunday.
There were well oyer a hundred men
that took to the road at the starting
command of W. L. Penberthy
The race was run over the two and
three-quarter mile course which was
extremely muddy and slick.
Fish Fuentes and Fish Long, Bat
tery B, were neck and neck as they
'rounded the gate coming into the
track, but Fuentes forged ahead with
an extra burst of speed to win the
match. These two were followed close
ly by Taylor, Company A Signal
Corps; Russell of Battery F; and Lit
tle, Company D.
In the meet ,which was won by
Battery F, Company A Signal Corps
was second; Battery E, third; H In
fantry, fourth; and Troop A, fifth.
The winning man received a medal
as did the men composing the winning
team.
HAND BALL TO START SOON
Handball, at present one of the most
popular sports in Aggieland, will be
added to the intramural program
within the next two weeks. Five years
ago this sport was inaugurated with
about 15 men competing; last year
more than 200 participated in the
league and tournament play and it
is expected that the number this year
will far exceed that of previous years.
It is one of the fastest games to
be found in any line of sport, which
probably accounts for it being sug
gested by many coaches as a pastime
for athletes, and used likewise by
themselves.
The matches in handball are played
somewhat similar to those of tennis
as each team is composed of six men,
these being divided into pairs, and
in order to win a match a team must
win two out of three of the sets be-
I tween pairs.
