0' the pater for more of the "long green."
The sophomores were also kind enough to sug-
gest that we c.arrv various trunks to their prop-
erly remote destinations. It was most thought-
ful of fhat c)ass to give us sucti exce!!ent pre-
paratory training for the Soph-Freshman foot-

US.

he developed some consistent piayers who wiit

At the close of the basket ba)) season he took
charge of the bascbal) team with the same in-

everyone by developing a team from new men
that has already beaten A. and M. and only lost
to S. M. U. by the close score of 2 to 1. To use

him as one of her athletic instructors. We hope

the credit to the proper ones. We rea)ly do not
know what we would have 4one without the
watchful care exercised over us by the upper-
classmen. They have truly been indispensible.
They considered us unsophisticated, and yet
many are the times that we have secretly laugh-
ed up that portion of our attire which covers
our good righ arm at that class who are con-
ceited enough to think that they are the ones
who put the "soph" in s^histication.
