It Was An Interesting And Well Played Game, Ending In a Score of la to 6. The double header football a ttrac tio n a t the A thletic held was pulled off on schedule tim e Saturday afternoon and it furnished a red-hot entertainm ent to a sm all but exceedingly interested num ber of spectators who were fo rtunate enough to be present. T he first attractio n — a ra ttlin g good contest between 'V arsity Scrubs and the St. Edw ards eleven— was begun a t 2 :d5 amid “roo ta tori a I” the m ain volume of which was supplied by the ’V arsity brass band stationed in the g ran d stand. The band played music and the boys played football, and th eir adm irers along the sidelines rooted and veiled and everybody was happy. This con­ test ended a tie, each side having made a touchdown and kicked a goal. music, the A lthough the crowd was well entertained by the Serub-St. E dw ards game, there was no regret when this came to a close and tile m ain event of the afternoon began, fo r although the first game was surprisingly good, in point of im portance it m ight be compared to the small bouts at a prize fight carnival which entertain the crowd until the big gladiators are ready to smash each other. Saturday the big fellows came prom ptly on the field and followed the usual custom of am using themselves w ith th eir elongated pigskin. They passed this to one another as if each wished his neighbor to get a good look a1 it. When all had handled the oval, each striped w arrior took a plunge at the ball which had been previously placed on the ground, and then they huddled themselves together and run a few signals and were at th is when Referee Benedict blew the whistle for the contestants to begin play. Ii Oklahoma wins the loss and chooses the south goal with the wind blowing toward her opponents’ goal. 'V arsity kicks off and the hall lands in Roberts’ hands down near Ila* Oklahoma ten-vard line, but before being tackled the T erritory man advances twelve yards. The team ’s line-up and O klahom a’s strength is revealed by the ease with which she smashes the ’V arsity line. Rob­ erts fires him self at center and stopped seven yards the other side. C aptain Crowe of Oklahoma tries right tackle for three* yards. Repeated onslaughts are made on various parts of the ’V arsity line, and each play nets a gain, usually a good one, until tin* hall is past the center of the field and in ’V arsity territory. J u s t at this point Oklahoma showed th a t sin* could also skirt the ends, for after having been penalized by being put back ten yards for offside playing she refused to resort to p u n tin g , but instead circled ’V arsity’s left end for a thirteen-yard gain. Tho Texas men were grow ing des­ perate. looked as if th eir defense was fatally de­ fective and th at no cfi ort on th eir part would avail to stop the avalanche of T errito ry men th a t would pour over them a t each play. Five, six, eighteen, sings the Oklahoma quarterback, and the ’V arsity guards are jerked down and tram pled upon, and a big Oklahoma lad darts thro u g h the hole thus made for a safe gain. On th e next play some other p a rt of the Varsity line suffers and the ball is finally on ’V arsity's one-yard line. Then the Texas rooters were trem bling, for ii seemed impossible to avert a touchdown by Oklahoma, and nothing but desperate resistance, together w ith a fo rtu ­ resistless nate circum stance, progress of the visitors. Oklahoma had one yard be­ tween her and a touchdown w ith three trials in which to m ake it. The ’V arsity men held her for two clowns am id the wild enthusiasm of her supporters and Okla­ homa gathers herself together for a last suprem e effort to gain the insignificant distance. One of her players is too eager, however, and plays offside, which costs his team ten yards. T he visitors next try to circle ’V arsity’s right; end, but the runner fum ble- the ball and juggles it and is finally downed w ith a loss of fifteen cards. Oklahoma punts to ’V arsity’s ten-yard line and Texas has the ball for the first ti mo since the kick-off. the heretofore stayed Leslie is sent through right tackle for a good gain, as is little McMahon against left tackle, but Oklahoma gets the ball on the next play on a fumble. The visitors try the ’V arsity center, but do not gain, and resort to a punt, which Browm catches. And now it is ’V arsity’s tim e to have a field day, The Oklahoma line also w ithers before fierce onslaughts, as did th eir opponents early in the game. The Texas men pierce th eir opponents’ line tim e a fte r tim e, and then they try th eir favorite play— th a t of a fake buck, a double pass, which finally winds up with the ball in the hands of Q uarterback W atson. T his play drew in the enem y’s ends and left an open field for the fleet quarterback, who m ade the most of his opportunity and planted the ball on Oklahoma s ten-yard line. I t seemed certain that ’V arsity was to m ake an easy touchdown, for the backs had carried the ball to the visitors’ one- 'File T exans’ hopes for a touchdown were to yard line. be deferred, however, fo r as big Leslie started for the coveted goal w ith the pigskin tucked under his arm an un fo rtu n ate blow displaced it and when it landed it was in the capacious hands of an Oklahom a m an. The ball is carried out to Oklahom a’s twenty-five yard line and is kicked off by the visitors to W atson, who returns it to w ithin th irty yards of the visitors' goal bv splendid running and clever dodging. Leslie then c ir­ cles right end for a touchdown and M cQ uarters kicks an easy goal. The first half soon ends w ith the ball iii the center of the field. The second h a lf opened up amid the greatest interest with every 'V arsity supporter feeling slightly uneasy and very much surprised at the aggressive character of the visitors’ game. The T erritory boys had proved th eir ability as ground gainers well w ithin the clags o f the \ ars tty men, and not a few Texas fellows were fearful for the results. T his fear was not dim im sned when Oklahoma bucked the ball across the ’V arsity goal line for a touchdown and then kicked a goal, tying the score. It was not until tow ards the latter part of the game that big C aptain McMahon of the Varsity made the final touchdown of the gam e and which, together with the accompanying goal kicked by M cQuarters, made the final score 12 to 6 in favor of the ’V arsity team.

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1901. No. 2. The following letter was received last w eek: To T he T ex a n :— We, the undersigned graduates and ex-gtudents of the U niversity of 'Texas, wish to express our condem nation of certain sentim ents expressed in the article, “ Football O u tlo o k ,’ which appeared^ in this year's first edition of The Texan. A fter m anifesting a very laudable desire for pure athletics, and indulging the proplxesy th at this consum ­ m ation so devoutly to be wished is now at hand, the w riter says in substance th a t num erous “g rafters” from various States, districts, counties, and precincts have volunteered th eir services for a sufficient financial re­ m uneration. and th a t these proposals have been prom pt­ ly turned down. T his action, it is needless to say, we heartily commend, but the article continued as follows: “ The most pronounced result of th is m easure is th a t we have a great scarcity of heavy m en, and very few experienced players. T he question is asked by so m any, W hat are the prospects? You have but to look over our line and find only one of last year’s regulars and two substitutes to find an answer." T here is but one inference to be draw n from these lines, and this we feel will be the conclusion reached by every outsider, and by every ex-student, an d prob­ ably by the classes ju st entering the University. It seems from this article th a t last year’s team stood for anything but pure athletics, and th a t now since the sport has been washed in the fo u n tain of purity, a team not so strong, b u t infinitely m ore virtuous, has resulted, and we are led to believe th a t the chastening was only secured by a serious sacrifice of brawn, which we so confidently depended upon last year. T he article to which we refer would doubtless afford students of other colleges a very good reason to con­ clude th a t the cham pions of ’OO were largely m ade up of hirelings and th at this year’s weakness— i f f any— is due to the casting out of this elem ent from our m idst. in which When we consider the local fashion the last year’s team and the never sufficiently praised scrub worked for the glory of ’V arsity, we eau hut he grieved that such an insinuation should be their final reward. Such sentim ent is the basest in g ratitude, aud it might bt* added, th a t it is hardly calculated to raise these men in the estim ation e in t onnecticut, showing a vista of country bv m oonlight; the second and th ird acts are the h a n d ­ some interiors of fashionable houses in N ew York City, and the fourth aet is the interior of the farm house of the first act. A special car is required to carry the scenery, and the costum ing is said to be of beautiful variety. -o- -o- T H E SIG M A CHT IN IT IA T IO N .

We shall refrain from predictions lest we conclude by quoting from Job on the People. As our wont is, we vshall content ourselves with receiving the bouquets. The last two sessions of the Athenaeum have been en­ tirely satisfactory. The hall was full on both occasions, and we hope the gentlemen who came as visitors will return and cast their lot with us. This is a bona fide invitation. Those appointed to entertain did so right Well. T he orations of Cavitt and Hertsberg were fine. The critic's remarks were as satisfaetoiy as any we have ever heard in the Athenaeum hall, being eminently sensible and strictly to the point. fbi the 12 th that $3,000,000 surplus lying around loose down in the capitol was up for discussion. The affirmative thought it should he deposited in small amounts in national banks; but the negative, though they did not say so, wanted to divide it among the members of the society. The idea took with the judges and tile negative got the decision, “ Mayor" Brown closed the debate with ;i highly diverting speech. H e certainly lias the “gift of the gab."

Miss Ludlow's absence from the I iii versify is keenly felt by the many who learned to know her last year.

During the meeting (he J u n io r Laws attem pted to enter the room. Their attack was successfully resisted by the brave and noble sergeant-at-arms, W. R. Carring­ ton, “single-handed and alone." There is a most deplorable absence of class spirit among the m e m b e r s of the Freshm an Class. However much to lie regretted, it is nevertheless true that a most astounding vacuum exists in o u r class which ought: to be and m ust be filled with class pride. Let us sincerely hope th a t “a word to the wise" is sufficient. We must get together and work in unity. Attend the class meet­ ings, be congenial, friendly, and work together to make a record for our class th at shall surpass the records of all prev iou s Freshmen classes and never be equaled by any to come. We are a little late getting down to busi­ ness and there is much work to be done with p r e c i o u s little time in which to do it: and this work can only be done by the united effort of all Freshmen. The Freshmen were surprised and delighted to note in the last issue of The Texan th at the Senior Laws behaved so well at their meeting. It is indeed surpris­ ing to know that there eau possibly be a semblance of order in any meeting in which Senior Laws participate. It is to lie regretted however th a t some of the Senior Laws so belittled themselves as to disturb the “ u pstart" Freshmen while they were trying to hold a meeting some time since.
