THE MESS HALL
ti
1
Proponents of the theory that a man's demeanor is indicative of
his boyhood and adolescent home environment would receive a rude
awakening should they happen into the mess hall during the progress
of a meal. 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. ' 4 j ^‘ v ‘ j 11 , |

Old Aggieland that he could not
bear to see Old TAMC outdone.

tack that carried the ball over the
Greenie goal. line in the early
stages of the game. 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

directed. To our attention comes
one little typical incident of the
many edifying improvements these
men of genius could wreak inxtur
lives. Last week while Mr. Dunn
was directing the band at retreat,
maintaining the U. I. marching i
pace of 120 steps a minute. Harold
Burton Gibson, Captain, U. S. Cav
alry. D. O. L. rushed up to the
“Major” with tears in his eyes, snd
we give you,Mow as closely aa
we know the actual conversation!
Captain Gibson; “Mi. Dunn, Why
are you rushing these men in at
200 steps per minute?"
Major Dunn with watch in harid:
“I’ve been timing them, and they
’re marching in at 120 steps per
minute."
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. Maybe the
band had better try slow waltz
time, next time, hift?
And while we are on the subject
of men of military importance let
me tell you the sad tale of one ki-
