Three times the tws teams attempted to decide the better of the two at|d it looked as though three times the players and their managers would be sadly dis appointed; hut with the ruling that half the game must be played be fore it becomes official, the phar macy has been credited with the game. The first of. the sertee was called at dark with a tie score of S bo S, the second was rescheduled due to a miscalled play, and the third was rained oat in the first half of the fifth inning.

O. T. C Camp ia over—but what memories remain! No more will we have to listen to the whistle blow every five min utes to “fall in'*. No more will we have to fight Are when the ther mometer is standing at tit de grees every time ere fire the can non. No more will we have to get up at 6 a. m. and go to bed at 19:16 p. m. No more will we have to do extra duty. No more will we have to do K. P. duty. No more will we have to roll tent flaps by the numbers. No more will we have to do our “daily doxen”. No will we bade to waar short pants and wrap leggings. No more will we beat the tramp through the “West Side” of San Antonio. It was a wonderful time while it lasted, but we are all glad that six weeks was the limk. For five kmg weeks Camp Bullis was as dry as a powder-hauae, but when we spirted' on our three-day maneuver the showers came and it rained until we returned to camp. Then it stopped! While in the field we got as wet as the well- known rat, but we accomplished our mission and drove the mock enemy back over the hills and pro tected Camp Stanley. During the time Bullis we made a trip to Ft. Sam Houston and Randolph Field. Both places offer many sights of inter est. At Randolph we went through the hangars, repair shops, salvage shops, cadet quarters, etc. The quarters there were the best that this writer has ever seen. After looking over the set-up there, many of the cadets filed application papers for eatraiaea to the school. There were three paydays during tha six weeks, and almost every cadet made a trip to San Antonio after payday to spend his small fortune. The bugle would blow every morning at 6 o’clock and the lads would tumble out of bed. After that we would go to breakfast. Af ter breakfast we would pull off our wool undershirts and take ex erciaes. Then we would go to ou tents and put on a cotton shirt and wrap leggings with our abort pants and would mount the trucks and go to the field. We would stay in the field working on problems until the chocolate milk wagon around, and would then drink our chocolate milk and then would con tinue our problems until about 12:90. Then we would mount the trucks and go bock to camp. When we got back to camp we would eat dinner and after dinner the boys that had extra duty charged to them would put on their fatigue clothes and haul ammunition' or pick up rocks while the resp-eif'the hoys slept. We were off from the tiqqe we came off problems until 6 o’clock when we did some more exercising. After exercising in the evening we would stand retreat and then fall out and put our hats up before going to supper. After supper we were free to go until 10:16, when we had to be in bed. Then the O. D. would check up—just ask Bam Davenport. If you want to hear HOW THEY FINISHED Seaboard Life Aggie Cleaaers 4..„. Aggieland Pharmacy College Inaj .i.

Such were the fore cast and the conditions that led to the calling off of the Bryan Com mercial-College Twilight All-Star game last week. Both teams wound up the first half of their series and were ready for the second to start, , with a few off days to between. Two games were to have been play ed, one under the rules as played here and the other under the rules as played in town. The players to enter the con tests representing the local teams were chosen by team and league managers and listed as all-stare of the first half of the aeries. The first team, managed by “Sateh” Elkina, was composed of members of four of the eight teams of the league. The other was to have been steered by “Sutmy” Campbell. Dare McMinn, first baseman for the Seaboard Life team, waa chosen to play one of the first base posi tions but eras eut of teem at the time the game was scheduled. “Cjiielr” Denny waa up for a spot either at third or short field on the second team but would hare been unable to play. The great game will not be play ed but a similar one will be sc bed uled at the end of the present term with new players listed as found bettor. James Aston, *33, Becomes Dallas’ City Manager A. & M.

A lawn mower was prepared for the job by removing the cutter bar, taking off the roller, attaching an ordinary grass catcher, and placing a shield on top of the mower and up the handle to deflect the scattering teed into the catcher. This machine waa uaad on a Buffalo grass lawn that had been mowed regularly and a field area that had been cut with a mowing machine diately prior to the seed collecting operation.
