The November 5, 1920, issue of
the Halt carries an interesting
item. It seems that an Aggie Yall
Leader challenged Rue to a "yell
match’’ at a Lsitball game due to
be played shortly. Rice rejected
the offer, so the Yell Leader of
lered to send only A & M Fiesh-
men to compete with the entire
Rice cheering sertlot. The offer
was still refused
Incidentally, the Aggies won the
game, 7-d.
