AUSTIN, T EXAS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 ,190i Number 5. VARSITY WI NS AT WACO ’Varsity Defeats the Baylor Football Team at Waco by a Score of 23 to o. Last Tuesday the University defeated Baylor in a well played game. While the result was anticipated, it was nevertheless joyfully received, when it became definitely known. Owing to the delay of a telegram, we have not secured a write-up of the game. The following short notice of it in the Baylor Lariat will probably prove of interest: “Baylor has played her critical game and now knows her position in Southern football. Although we had some hopes of holding Texas a closer game, yet we did not expect to beat them. v Coach Thompson of the State team summed the situa­ tion up when he said Baylor did as good work as any 150-pound team could ex [lect to do against such odds, and that no 150-pound team could beat his aggregation. T hat the State plays a good scientific game of football must he admitted by every 0^ , but they earned every score that they made against the Baylor team. At no point of the game was it a walkover for Texas; more than once they were held for downs and more than once forced to kick the ball. The game from start to finish was fast and spectacu­ lar, abounding in end runs and kicking, which made it very exciting. Balyor was unfortunate, she having three of her strongest men laid out during the first half, which weakened the team to some extent. The line-up was as follows: State. McWhaters. Cathings. Prendergast. James. Hyde Brown. Watson. McMahan. Leslie. Bewley. Positions. Center. Left guard. Right guard. 0 Left tackle. Right tackle. Right end. Left End. Quarterback. Left half back.

MEETING OF ATHLETIC COUNCIL. The Athletic Council was called to order on October 31 by Dr. Mezes. Those present were Dr. Mezes, Judge Townes, Dr. Benedict, duo. W. Brady, C. ti. Miller, J. M. Taylor, S. F. Leslie, Clinton Brown, and bandon Porter. The following officers were elected for the season of 1901-1902: Dr. Mezes, chairman; Judge Townes, treasurer; bandon Porter, secretary; Dr. Mezes and Dr. Benedict, managing committee. Manager Taylors report on the games with Baylor, A. & M., and Oklahoma was read. On the Baylor game a loss of $6 was incurred; on the game with A. A' M. a profit of $103.05, and on the Oklahoma game a loss of $134.20. At Manager Taylor’s suggestion, W. E. McMahon was elected to assist the manager in his work. The council here gives notice that only members of the Athletic Association are allowed to use the tennis courts. If you are not a member of tin* A tac tic Association, and desire to use the tennis courts, turn over your library deposit to the manager or assistant manager of the football team. - o - CACTUS EDITORIAL STAFF ELECTED. Pursuant to the call of President Taylor, the Athletic Association met last Wednesday night for the purpose of electing an editorial stall* of the Cactus. The object of the meeting having been stated by Mr. Taylor, Mr. Moore made a motion that each man sign his ballot, and then remain in the hall to answer to his name when it should be called. This motion was carried. \\ hen nominations were declared in order, the fol­ lowing twenty-four nominees were placed in nomina­ tion; Frank T. West, E. E. Bewley, W. T. Boyd, J. Barry Benefield, J. M. Newsome, Thomas Fletcher, I. J. Ourtsinger, E. Crane, (J. N. Campbell, Clinton Brown, J. S. Bardin, S. Neathery, Misses Laura Williamson, Minnie Pettey, Edith Clark, and Laura Rose, Mr. E. T. Moore, Jr., S. C. Audrain, E. E. W itt, A. S. Kramer, Ed. Conner. A. A. (’other, H. W. Key, and P. C. Burney. After nominations had closed, Mr. H atchett moved that a committee of eight, four from each faction, be appointed for the purpose of taking and counting the ballots. This motion carried, and work began. During the count everyone was held in the greatest anxiety, for it was seen that it was to be the closest race in the history of the University. When flu* final count was made, it was seen th at the twelve editors were to be the following persons: Misses Laura Williamson and Edith Clark, the former of Paris, and the latter of Austin; E. T. Moore, Jr., Austin; W. T. Boyd, Columbus; C. N. Campbell, Hous­ ton; Frank T. West, Waco; Ed. Connor, Dallas; E. E. Witt, B artlett; J. M. Newsome, Fort W orth; TF W. Key, Austin; Thomas Fletcher, Houston, and J. Barry Benefield, of Jefferson. I t should he stated in justice to Mr. Bardin that his vote was 192, the same as that of Mr. Benefield, The tie was settled in the “Biblical” way of choice by “luck,” and Mr. Benefield won. - 0- FINAL BALL ELECTION. At a mass meeting of the friends of Mr. Geo. S. Wright and such others as chose to come, a president of the Final Ball was elected last Monday night. Porf. Shurter called the meeting to order, and declared nominations for chairman of the meeting was the next order of business. Mr. Borden then placed Mayor Brown in nomination for the position of chairman. He was unanimously elected. Nominations for Final Ball president, 1901-,02 being in order Mr. Allen in a few well chosen words placed tile name of Mr. Geo. 8. W right before the house. He set forth the qualifications of Mr. Wright in a forcible manner. Mr. Dibrell seconded Mr. W right’s nomina­ tion, and he was unanimously elected, there being not a dissenting vote cast. After Mr. W right’s election he was called on for a speech, and he responded in one of his strong character­ istic speeches. Some resolutions were then introduced by Mr. Powell, and read. Their adoption was moved by Mr. Randolph arid seconded by Mr. Files, They were unanimously adopted. CACTUS BOART) MEETS. At a meeting of the Cactus editorial staff last S atur day afternoon Mr. Frank T. West was unanimously elected editor in chief for the present session. Mr. Benefield was then elected secretary of the board. We are informed by Mr, West that it was agreed by all that they thought the Cactus should be published earlier in the year, and that the board resolved to commence its work immediately.

SCIENCE GIVEN BY TH E UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. rather to cover to undertake library work The aim will be important phases of than The library has become generally recognized as an important part of the educational system of the coun­ In consequence the librarian’s occupation is now try. considered a profession, and special p r e p a r a t i o n is nec­ essary. The University, true to its policy of advane- ing education along all lines, is offering a course in the library science. more thor­ the more ex­ oughly, tended courses offered in the various library schools. The library staff has been strengthened by the addi­ tion of VIiss Wandell, a graduate of the library school cd the I iii versify o:t Illinois, who will devote consider­ able time to this class, cataloguing being emphasized. .Maturity of mind and general habits of study are to be especially desired in this work, and as the instruc­ tion is largely technical a good general education is necessary. The class this year will be limited in num­ ber, and no entrance examination will be required. Students who show the best preparation and general fitness for this work will have first consideration. In Order that this may be ascertained it will be necessary that all non-resident applicants send with their appli­ cations a full and plain statement of their qualifications for this work, The only charges will be the annual fee of $10, a library fee of $1, and a deposit of $4, which will be re­ turned at the end of the year, less the amount of any fines or damages for books lost or injured. Expenses for supplies and textbooks will not exceed $10. Students taking this course will be allowed remuneration for their services to the extent of the matriculation fee of $10, when they shall have become sufficiently trained. I he course ol instructor! will be along the lines followed in the leading library schools, and will include selection of books, ordering, accessioning, classifying, cataloguing, bibliography and reference work; and will be sup­ plemented. by a course of collateral reading, so that students may become familiar with the history of the library movement in this country, and with methods other than those employed in the University library. As proficiency can be attained only by experience, each sfudent will be required to work six hours a week in the various departments of the library under the direc­ tion of the members of the library staff.* The course will begin November ll, 1901, and will end with the college year, June l l , 1902. Certificates will be granted to those students who satisfactorily complete the course. As the announcement of this course has been unavoidably delayed, students who in­ tend to enter should make immediate application. Address all communications to Benjamin Wyche, Librarian. Wm. Ii. PRATHER, President. The above announcement of the course in library science should interest a great many of the students. Even though you may not care to make a librarian of yourself, still there are other a d v a n t a g e s which will accrue from the taking of this new course. Many students do not know how to use a library. They do not know where they can find the hooks they desire to read. After they find them they do not use them to the best advantage, for they do not under­ stand the best method of finding in the book what they desire to know. The study of library science should cure all these deficiencies and it is to be hoped that there will develop a general interest, in this course. E X A N The following interview and editorial comment will prove of interest to the students. I t is needless for us to say that the sentiments therein expressed have our hearty approval: “Senator Joseph W. Bailey in a recent interview, when speaking of why he intended to place his sons in the University of Texas, says: “I shall do this because I believe they will meet there the men who will be the most important in the future life of the State. They will make acquaintances in that university, which is not deficient in any respect as an educator, who will be of more value to them in their lives as citizens of Texas than any they would meet elsewhere. One of the great advantages of a university education is the associations which are formed in college life. There is no stronger bond than that which exists between the men of the same university, the members of the same college fra­ ternity, and the chums of the same class.” Commenting upon this interview, tho San Antonio Express says: “Mr. Bailey undoubtedly has the right idea as to the advantage of a home education, espe­ cially for young men who expect to continue to live in the State arni to engage in business or public life. It is the most natural thing in the world for a man who has business to entrust to a lawyer or other professional men in another part of the State to think first of one whose acquaintance at school had ripened into friend­ Samuel Heathery ship. lf in later years the graduate of the university should be seeking political preferment from the State at large, or even from one of the districts, there would be no question of the value of his associations at the university or finishing school of his own State, and the hundreds of friends he made there and who were afterwards distributed throughout all the localities from which the aspirant for political honors desired influential support. Senator Bailey is pobtician enough to under­ stand this, and it may be that he intends that his sons shall follow in his footsteps and become statesmen. But his point in fav or of the home school is well taken, whether that be the* purpose or whether a business career lins been mapped out for them. No. 5 -o- The treatment accorded our boys by the Baylor peo­ ple is worthy of the greatest commendation, and the same should, and we feel sure will, be appreciated by all of our students. It is the testimony of all who have been seen, that went on the team that they were never more courteously treated in their lives. There is no reason why the very best of feeling should not exist between Baylor and our own university, and we hope to see the former strained relations wiped out. We are glad that Baylor has pushed athletics to the front, and we wish to congratulate her upon the good showing she has made. While she has not now the cham­ pionship in Southern football, still she lias done re­ markably well, with a team that is the first in her history. Long live the football spirit at Baylor! As a result of the Texas game: H o the Wanquisbefc. No more are ye laurel-crowned, In sore defeat ye bite the dust, No victors vaunt rends now the air, Go down, the Fates decreed ye must. Yet why should ye crestfallen be? Ye nobly faught, ye did the best! The odds were ’gainst ye in the fray, They conquer not, mere honors wrest! Though glad their shout, your sorry plight Belongs to the oblivious past; Lament not what was lost. Look up! Ye stood them bravely to the last. The meed which triumph brings departs, Shouts die upon the autumn air, The golden luster soon is dimmed And time corrodes the fair. The future yet unsung for you Hold a thousand hopes in store Your faces, flint-like set, doth mark, Ye will go down no more. •O- —J. M.

Dr. Green will spend some m onths in the S tate, his mission being a study of social conditions in the South. Thom as H. Botts, of last year’s law class, visited Ids friends a t the U niversity last Saturday. “ Tom m ie” is looking fine, and seems to he in close friendship with the ladies, as of yore. H e is connected w ith th e well know n law firm of B aker, B otts, B aker & L ovett, of H ouston. P resid en t P ra th e r left last Monday on a visit to th e leading universities of th e east and* north. H e goes for th e purpose of inspecting th e dorm itories for ladies, which are located at m any of these universities. H e expects th en to be better able to subm it suitable notices fo r bids for th e erection of our woman’s building. In accordance w ith a recent act of th e Board of Regents, th e land departm ent of th e U niversity has been moved from A ustin to Dallas. I t will continue In un d er the m anagem ent of Mr. R. E. L. Saner. 1895, when th e Board of R egents was given control of th e U niversity lands, th e receipts from th a t source th a t year were $8636.40. T he rep o rt of 1900 shows th a t d u rin g th e present year th e U niversity will get from this source $45,634.46, an increase in incom e of about 500 per cent, at a cost of scarcely 44 per cent for con­ d ucting th is departm ent. T he Spanish. O ctette furnished an abundance of pleasure to those who were so fo rtu n ate as to hear them in th e ir two en tertain m en ts given last Friday and S a tu r­ day nights. T hey are musicians of th e highest class. T h eir final engagement occurs Tuesday n ig h t, as we go to press. We promise a m ore extended w rite-up next week. Collin C alvert, of Denison, was here last Sunday. Collin was here d u rin g the sessions of 1 8 9 8 - 3 )9 and 1900-’01. He made a good record, and is now w orking in Hie tick et office of th e ll. & T. C. B r. a t Denison. W hile he did n o t sta te positively w hat called him here, we believe it was in obedience to his longing desire to see a lady friend who is now in th e U niversity. It is funny th a t Mr. T aylor did n o t know who was business m anager of the football team when he reached Waco last week. We are told th a t some one asked T aylor where th e m anager was, and he (Taylor) told him he d id n ’t know. L ater when T aylor had g o tten th ro u g h w ith his conversation w ith some one else, this same m an, spoken of above, came to Taylor and asked him again who was m anager. T his tim e T aylor said (pointing to himself) “H ere he is.” Mr. Edw ard C. IL B antel has been elected to the po­ sition of in stru cto r in civil engineering by the hoard of regents. Mr. B antel was graduated from the Rensselaer Polytechnic In stitu te with the degree of civil engineer in 1897. Since th a t tim e he has been employed in en­ gineering work by the New York & O ttaw a Bailway Company and by the Mexican N ational Railway Com­ pany, with headquarters at Laredo, Texas, where he was stationed two years. Resigning th is position he has since been assistant engineer w ith th e Cam bria Steel Company of Johnstow n, Pa., one of ihe largest steel m anufactories in (lie world. Professor B antel comes to the U niversity of Texas highly recom m ended by the directors of the Rensselaer in stitu te, and by the p ro ­ fessors un d er whom be studied there. H ts in stru ction will be especially helpful on the practical side of the work in engineering. o G LA CE H A L L N O TES. “ T here was a sound of revelry by nig h t, And Grace H all’s fairest ones had gathered th e re ” As tacky as old clothes and m uch labor could make them .
