T he eyes of Texas are upon the F reshm an class of this year. Years have passed and rolled up generations, generations have passed and scored centuries, centuries have passed and the world has seen ages, since the first Freshm an class entered the first university,— yet never before has a class been so representative of the best men and the fairest women of a State. Rugby had but one Tom brow n, Yale had but one F ran k Merriwell,— but the Freshm an class of 'OI has its W atson, its Pope, its Dodson, and its Phillipow ski. (You may th in k th a t a Freshm an is w riting this. T h at is not tru e.) We have often had repeated to us the characteristic® which have m ade this class famous. It has been pub­ lished in The Texan from tim e to time. A nd we have stood in awe and wonder as a B ennett and a Sam H ous­ ton poured out gifted speech in its praise. B u t it may not be out of place to briefly m ention some of these things again. In th e first place this class is favored with the pret­ tiest lot of Freshm an fem ininity th a t ever whispered in the corridors or smiled at upper classmen. A nd talking about those smiles, w hat all pow erful but deceptive things they are. We have loved the Senior girl in spite of her knowledge of higher m ath and pedagogy, and have suddenly wakened to th e tru th th a t her smiles are but lures to the h eart's destruction. We have adored the J u n io r girl at the h eig h t of h er social career, and found she had no tim e tor us— only smiles. We have more confidently approached the Sophomore girl ju st weaned from homesickness and P . & H . We have whis­ pered words of love to her, and have seen her the next m orning nudge her classm ate as we passed by— and smile. B ut surely th e Freshm an smile is the worst of all. I t is a mixed smile— a smile of tender hopes and new-born ideas, mixed with adm iration for F resh m an heroes and contem pt for upper class standards— a smile of innocents ju st beginning to learn. Beware of inno­ cents ju st beginning to learn. The Freshm en have good grounds for pride on this line. •J A gain, this year the Ju n io r Laws were small in num ­ bers and statu re, and very willingly took Shelter under faculty ordinances against rushes and hazing. So the Freshm en have not learned th is valuable side of Uni­ versity life, and are proud of their ignorance. Passing the other num erous reasons fo r pride, we come to the Freshm an football team . I t is a fast team. Bridges, Cole, T rip p e ts and H oggsett were am ong the fast men of this year’s scrub. T his team played all over the Sophom ore team about two weeks ago, m ore th an the score of l l to 5 showed. T he Freshm en were down there th a t day to “root.” T h eir rooting would have cheered any team. And those sm iling girls were there, too. W hen they ended up th e ir yells, “ We are F resh­ men, who are y o u ?” we, rem em bering th a t we had been here two or th ree years and th a t we were n ot members of the Freshm an class, would hang our heads in silent shame. Now fate brought it about th at the Senior Law foot­ ball team had to play th e Freshm an team for the cham ­ pionship of the University. The game was played S a t­ urday. The Freshm en were there to “ root,” and beside It was not a cheering them sat those smiles aforesaid. sight to those of us who are not lucky enough to be Freshm en. B ut the chaplain of th e Senior Laws had burnt on the a lta r of the sacred P e re g rin e an offering of frankincense and m yrrh, and oil bowed knee hail prayed for protecting angels against those Freshm en. The law departm ent has faith in the prayers of Chap­ lain R ichardson and turned o ut in full force to cheer on its team. The game was played, Hie Law team won, and now we are beginning to feel th a t there is yet some hope for those of us who are not Freshm en. T h e attendance was as large as a t any game this year. The game was m uch m ore in terestin g th a n any th e ’V arsity played here this season, leaving o u t Okla­ homa. The plays were fast, and th e interference good. T he Senior Law® outweighed the Freshm en, but were well m atched in speed. the Freshm en, Lane, Bridges, H oggsett, and Paschal played good ball. For the Senior Laws the work of Taylor, Moore, H ugging, Files, and Brown was especially worthy of notice. F o r Game called at 3:30. Referee, Jo n es of Sewanee.

Vol. 2. Wednesday, Dec. l l , 1901. No. IO. With the term ination of the class games, the football season has truly ended. With the end of a season, we always like to sum lip and see what advance has been made in said sport during said season. Our football team started out at the beginning of the season under very unfavorable circumstances. Only two of last year’s first team were back for service on the r\ he enthusiasm of the men tryin g eleven this year. for the team did not lag in the least, and each afternoon we saw the gridiron heroes on the field preparing them ­ selves to battle as best they could for the reputation of their beloved Ijniversitv. These men were determined to uphold the name of their college, and ii is a m atter of great satisfaction to them to know th a t they have done so. Leaving out the Osteopath game (and we do this be­ cause we believe it was un fair), the team has lost only one game during the season,— th at with the University of Kansas. This defeat was only by a small score, and if the climatic conditions had been equally favorable, we would have played a closer game, arn! would have probably been the victors. T he men who wear tin* foot­ ball “ T ’ this year are certainly deserving of much praise and the everlasting gratitude of the students. In support of our contention that this year’s team has m aintained the reputation of the University in football, I need only mention the fact th a t the University of V ir­ ginia offers us an $800 guarantee next year for a game they desire us to play with them in Richmond, T h a n k s­ giving day. Now, Virginia holds the Southern cham ­ pionship, and we should be proud th a t she wants us to play with them on Thanksgiving day. They have for­ merly played Sewanee each year. With the fu rth er guarantee of $500 from Nashville, the team will in all probability have a S o uthern trip next year. Our ambition should be to win the S o u th e rn cham ­ pionship in 1902. Our prospects are good. A great m ajority of t hi s year’s team will re tu rn , an d with new is always present, we s ho u l d gather material, which together a team which will place this University in the position of leader in Southern football. o T he class games have clearly demonstrated the con ten ti on th a t class loyalty is the greatest, promoter of r\ here was more real enthusiasm true college spirit. shown at the cham pionship contest last Saturday than at any of the ’V arsity contests. We believe th a t when the students have once imbibed th eir (lass spirit, as they have now done, there will be no trouble about college enthusiasm at the great contests of our ’Varsity teams in the future. T he most gratifying result of the “ rush” of last Saturday was the fact that all of the students, who oui} a few m inutes before were combatting each other for the “ P eregrinus” (the Senior Law banner), joined together in University yells. As Ju d g e Townes said, in addressing the assembled students at the east entrance to the building, the rush showed the force and power there was in the students. We hope that this force will he shown in every U niver­ sity contest in the future. If it is, our men will he in­ spired, and we will win contests which otherwise would be doubtf ul. I can not allow the opportunity to pass for commend­ ing the students (both Freshmen and Senior Laws) for th e good will with which they battled for class honor. ... T H E T H E N O V E M B E R M AGAZINE* 1 B f 11 r”’ jH ’ H ere is variety enough for you, if no th ing else; and for ballast you may have Poe on the first page, Swin­ burne a little fu rth e r over, and Poe again in prose, and Schiller going much a-halt. It is one of those average numbers about which one finds little to say e i t h e r of othing notoriously bad (saving a good or ill. There is n few unpardonable solecisms), and surely no thing of very conspicuous merit. There m ight well he more verse, and what there is m ight well he better. T he six lines on page 59 are not bad, though the figure of the couplet is so vague th a t one strives for its content in vain. And one wishes he m ight find more of serious purpose, more assurance of hard th in k in g and laborious writing, more inspiration, more verve; b u t the year is young, and the writers have not yet found themselves. On the whole this second num ber of volume 17 has nothing to be ashamed of, if little of which to boast. A noticeable feature is the num ber of very short a rti­ cles. None of these is better than m ediocre; two are I should say th a t this length trivial, and one is trite. of article is very difficult to write well. I t would only be done properly with hours of .assiduous lucubration, of w riting and deleting and Condensing, till only the essence, the heart, of some significant m atter should re­ main,— some essay, or story, or tale. And the difficulty is not far to seek, An incident or idea which may be easily reduced within the limits of three or five hundred words is of necessity sn slight as to be hardly worth recording. The preponderance of these little things gives to the Magazine a quality of inconsequence; such bagatelles are fit for filling and sauce, if they be piquant and well touched with spice ; hut one does not care for a whole dinner of pickles and caviare. Another feature w o rth y of rem ark is the num ber of I stories. Of the fo u r longer storiettes all but one are told in the first person. T here is a certain vividness and vra{semblance, a smack of personal experience, in this autobiographical m eth o d : but to the am ateur it In spite of is a perilous way, full of traps and snares. all the sw ash b u ck ler first-person romances, upon which we have lately been fed to surfeit, it still rem ains thai the best method in fiction is that of the drama, where the w riter keeps himself conscientiously out of sight. Of these four little stories, “ Phantom*® Fifth Escape” is considerably Hie best. It carries Well to the end, hav­ ing a plot well conceived and cleverly developed: and, saving the inevitable egotism of the / story, is quite worth while. “ Twelve-Thirty, W ashington Time,” has in climax and plot enough, but is poorly handled catastro phe; and the writer shows a disregard of the mechanical device of indention in m anaging his con­ versations, introducing them into the body of his m at­ ter, instead of giving to each speech its separate pars­ graph. “T he Gentleman M ontaigu” is another of those tales of terror which, even when told at the bes!, were I t is inartistic, as well as unkind, better left untold. to lierrow the feelings of one’s readers merely for the pleasure of seeing their eyes “ bug” and their flesh crawl. Bin the story is not w ithout a show of strength, and the writer, in the end, saves us a measure of our horror by leaving us to contemplate one tragedy instead of four. But where are the women? Here is hut one lone nam e; the rest are great, big-mouthed boys, who would frighten us with their adventurous tales. There is not a fine, delicate fem inine touch in the whole forty p a g es; nor the fragrance of their presence, nor the music, nor the dashing of eyes, nor the soft rustling of perfumed dresses. And there is no reason for it, e ith er; for we have dozens of them here, hiding away in library nooks, or slipping soft-footed through the corridors, looking unutterable things, till a fellow’s h e art com es right up in his throat and sticks there, and throbs, and bleeds. Editors, change my m ind: your Magazine is a f a ilu re ; it has too much m ale; it is a misogynist, or at least a bachelor; it wants the best things of all,— the women voices, and their hand-touches and heart-beats. What is a magazine, or a university, or anyt hi ng without I t is all th em ? You are defrauding us of our dues. a deceit and a vanity. We care not w hat they write, or how crudely, so they but be there, looking out at us from the pages with their glowing eyes, and whispering to us. in howsoever feeble phrase, their small secrets and hopes and dreams. Go to, then, and find us the maids who Write. A.

A fter this the Ju n io rs with th eir guardsbaek form ation (a* la H yde) were helpless, finally losing the ball on a fum ble.
