The word “happen" is used because none with even the semblance of an ideal regarding the manner of college men wopld purposely expose himself to the agonising and disgusting sight that would greet his eyes once he had crossed the portals of Sbisa Hail. It is impossible to believe thst the modes, methods, and antics used by the meat hers of the Corps were learned in Christian homes. Perhaps the boys know bettor but have been influenced by the change in environment and have let themselves bscpme careless. That is somewhat excusable in the boys but MEN do not let themselves become careless about the things, large or small, that stamp them as a# ■aaaik. \ | We are told Muit in the long,long ago instinct made man fight for food but at that time it was a case of self-preservation and the stronger man ate while the weakling felt the pangs of huagor. « There is no reason far such a condition existing in the mess-hall as no complaint can be honestly made against the quantity of food that is placed on the tables. No reflection is being cast on the “etiquette" of the Corps as it makes no particular difference whether a man uses a Queen Anns pattern spoon or h Henry the Fifth fork in the process of filling his oral cavity if the job is neatly done. Rather it ia the unnecessary rough staff and rowdiness that should be frowned on by every Aggie aa a most deplorable condition and one that should be definitely done away aritk.

Spriggs, Pro- fes.sor of Public Speaking, contin ued his advanced studies at the Uaiversity of Chicago. Dr. George Summey. Jr., Head of the Department, announces that plans are beii« made for the or- xarization of a Freshman forensic society. Work in that proposed club is expected to begin sometime is October under the supervision of Professor J. Q. Hays, faculty spon sor. with assistance^ from I. A. Handler, Galveston, and J. W.

The Tuiane were quiet as it was a feat few had seen in recent years- ng. hefty pass from Dominguc to Ray Murray vraa good for 90- yards and a first down on Tulsne's 6-yard line. Astod then plunged ovfr for the first marker. Dosilte* gut, in the same manner as he played last Thanksgiving, booted the ball squarely between the up rights for the extra point. That 7-point lead, coupled writh the realisation that they were play ing for their ousted captain, seem ed to act only as an incentive for the Greenies to awaken ia a man ner that was very convincing. A drive waa started that ended when the Flying Dutchman crossed the goal line standing up. He missed the try for point. Zimmerman lived up to all advance notices as he was the spotlight of the Tuiane offense and certainly deserves credit for pulling the game out of the fire for the Greenies at a very opportune time. Tulanr’s second touchdown re sulted from s 46-yard inarch down the field in straight running plays aftpr the Aggies kicked off. The slashing Greenie line hit the weak speds of the thin red wall in a series of running plays. Again Zimmerman ran across the Aggie line for a touchdown end Ls«- mofi's try for point was good. \ j A break paved the way for the third Tuiane touchdown just bo- fore the half ended. Barfield, run ning in fast to receive the kick off, fumbled, and Tuiane recovered on the Aggie 28-yard line. Again a series of running plays aimed at the middle of the Una resulted in Lemmon, Tuiane fullback, pushing across for the touchdown. Bob Connelly, Aggie sophomore end, rushed in and blocked the kick for extra point. The fourth quarter belonged to the Aggies who filled the air writh footballs in one last desperate ef fort to score. Murray and Con nelly on the receiving ends ac counted for long gaina. A Tuiane pass, intercepted by Aston on the 48-yard line close to the east side of the field, and a replica of the long ambling jaunt made by Domingue last year was repeated by “Goat" Hewitt, when on the next play he I skirted left end behind perfect ia- i terferenoe, dodged and twisted his way to the far side of the field and then reversing to escape ^ throe would-be tarklers, galloped jf* through the entire Tuiane secon dary defense to the Greenie 2-yard line where he was tackled by Lem mogs. Little Jack StringfeDow on the next play ran around left end for a touchdown. He crossed the goal line alone with the nearest man over fifteen feet away. Aston kicked the bail squarely between the bars for the extra point. The Aggie’s took to the air in the closing minutes of the game and after advancing far down the lost the ball on an intercepted pas4 as the game ended. This next bit of salacious gossip is slung “Red" Spencer-ward. !1U1 Blodgett wrote hit girl in Austin of his intention of being there for one of thoee Saturday night “Ger mans" and so his lady-love, anxious for him to have a good time, asked her friends to give Bill a big rash and told them that he would be easily recognised as he vould be the only one in uniform. In fhe course of occurrences. Buglin’ Bill couldn’t go, and by some curious stroke of fate "Scarlet" Spencer waa there and ia uniform.

Captain Gibson: “I’ve timed them myself snd they're taking twenty steps every ten seconds!" Okay, Captain, but the ancient Babylonians, founders of the chro- nometrical system, always main tained that there were only sixty ' seconds to the mmate.
