Th« bora* show U one of tho
main features on Up for tomor
row afternoon bore. Many good
lookinf “banc-tails" with smart
riders will be bare for tbe event.
The Military department is stack
with this shear and they would like
to get rid *f ft, I'm sure. It is rot
the place fbr a show of this kind.
Tbe Military department should
have boras shews, but not any of
these society shows. What we want
in the form of a horse show that
the Military department has, is one
for students. Why mtaH A. 4k M.
have a horse show about once each
month and have nothing but Aggie
riders and military horses?
A thing like this could be flvad
up and our military students could
get some good out if it They could
Mam horsemanship, a thing that
they may need some dny, and could
have some dam good competition,
among the boys.
It ia safe to aay that there will
not be over 200 students to watch
the show tomorrow, and moat of
them will go only to see the cadets
riding and the smart-lookiag young
ladies. I ,
Why net have a horse show
at Aggieland for Aggies?

ted against the strong Washington
Univtaxity team. Once this scrap
eras pnder way, the Washington
boys pushed in a goal within one
minute <>f play and commenced to
hold the Aggies scoreless for the
next Rve minutes. In the last min
ute of the first half the Aggies
worked the ball well down into the
Washington territory and after a
series of passes, Ty Hall slipped
one iifto the goal to tie the score

Having come from behind to win
the fif-st game by the score of 7

to be Chicago University.

made from a side eagle. Then was
more polo played in this game than
in any of the other games and it
found Adamson’s boys rushing the
Chicago crew each time tbe Chi
cago team gained possession ef the
ball.
The second half of the champion
ship game gave up more scoring,
and almost proved disastrous to
the Aggies. After about four min
utes of this half the Aggie forward,
Hensley, found his stark again and
the A. 4 M. boys were two points
in the lead. With but fifty second*
to play, Bernhardt for Chicago
whipped one that was out of reach
of Denny, the goalie, to make Ur
•core 2 to 1. Scrimmage was
again and the Chicago boys ga:
possession of the ball and pepper
ed the goal with shots and an the
fiaal whistle blew the ball was in
the air and got past Denny for a
goal to tie the score st two all.
An extra period, of six miautes,
was to be played and the Aggies!
got under way in this period with
Armstrong registering his second
bull’s eye, with a shot that goalu
Mscey touched but could not hold.
Turning around for the last three-
minute period, Chicago peppered j
the Texas net, again, missing four i
close ones. Goalie Denny made s'
nice save of a shot that was labeled, |
and then the A. A M. crew tallied
its last goal on a p- rfect shot by
Hensley from the near center ofj
