In a letter to the Aerial club of America, Mr. Brucker states Dr. Draub of Venice is backing the enterprise andthat a large dirigible baloon is being built.

He suggests that the Aerial club of America offer a prize for the first aviator to make the trans-Atlantic trip. It is Mr. Brucker's plan to follow the course taken by Columbus. The trans Atlantic circuit will carry three or four men and will be equip-: ped with life boats and other safety devices. It will be followed by speedy gunboats or other craft.

WAGNER Co. DEFEATED OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY IN DALLAS BY SCORE OF FOURTEEN TO I FIVE. CHAMPIONS OF SOUTHWEST Have Clearly Won This Title by Brilliant Playing Throughout the Season. The A. and M.

football team defeated Oklahoma University at Dallas yesterday by a score of 14 1 to 5 in the most brilliant game by far that has been played in Texas this season. It was a hard fight and the end of the first half the score stood 5 to 5 When this news came to the friends of A. and M. in Bryan began to get little nervous and were in fearful suspense until the good news of the victory came shortly after the game closed. Of the game the Houston Post of today says: The Agricultural and Mechanical college of Texas this afternoon clearly demonstrated their right to the championship of the Southwest when they defeated the Oklahoma University football team in one of the fastest and most sensational games of football played in this section of the ever country.

Brilliant end runs, coupled with the goal kicking Balenti and the splendid punting by Hamilton tells the story of the Sooners' defeat. The Oklahomans are fast, heady players, show splendid football form and through trick plays better than put any team that has ever played in Dallas. Heavier than the Texas team, they were, nevertheless, inferior in that department of the game known as open style playing. There the brilliant work of the Agricultural and Mechanical back field told mightily. It was a fast game, and it was close game until recovered a fumbled ball toward the close of the second half and ran forty yards for a touchdown.

Up to this point, the crowd of 1200 cheering spectators were kept in doubt as to the game's outcome. The Stars. For Agricultural and Mechanical, Ward was the star of the game. At all times he put up a splendid article of football. He ran his punts spiendidly, tackled surely and fiercely and was the only man able alone to tear up the Ok'ahoma interference in good style and get the man with the ball.

The work of the A. and M. back field was brilliant at all times. Kelly, playing at quarter, ran the team splendidly and put up his usual article of fast heady football. Balenti is one of the fasters, headiest players who appeared in this section of the country.

He is quick to get away, dodges tackles in fine form and hits the line hard. Also te is about the prettiest field goal kicker who has played in Texas for many years. in the second half he made a place kick from the twenty-five-yard line without any seeming effort, and a few seconds later he missed another place kick from the fifty yard line by only three feet. Hamilton, Texas' Best Punter. Hamilton, undoubtedly, is the best punter ever seen in Texas.

Always sure and cool, he boots the ball high and far on all punts and when the team 'is in danger he never fails to kick it back to safety. Rugel, at fullback, put up a stellar article of football. He is a cool strong player and one of the best ground gainers on the team. While the A. and M.

back field is an unusually good one, especial mention ought to be made of the splendid work that the A. and M. line did. Hooker, at left tackle: Thompson, at center: Critcher, at right guard, are all splendid players, considering the fact that in today's game they were matched against three men who are considered the superior of any men in the South this year for these positions, the game they put up is nothing short of remarkable.

COLE, Directors. ANGELO POSTOFFICE CONTRACT AWARDED. Special to the Eagle. Washington, Nov. Secretary.

Treasurer McVeagh yesterday approved the plans for the postoffice and federal building at San Angelo and awarded the contract to construetion company of Virginia at one hundred and twelve thousand, two hundred and fifty-six dollars. San Angelo and other towns in Texas can get public buildings with Federal funds, but none for Bryan. The people of Bryan should wake up on this matter and get busy. The first thing to do is to co operate with Congressman Hardy in every way poselble in getting the matter through congress, then put pressure to bear wherever needed until it is landed. In the meantime let the work of naming the streets, and numbering the houses proceed as a first step necessary to secure free mail delivery.

This is work for the city council; then the work for the individual citizen is to build sidewalks. Let each man build a sidewalk along his own property -there are no vacant lots in the residence district- and in just short while we will have walks that will meet all requirements for tree delivery. If the people of Bryan will get together and get busy, we cam, within two years time, have a nice federal building. have beautiful sidewalks. have our streets named and every house numbered, and our mail brought to our doors.

That would indeed be a great 1m- provement over present conditions and it can be done with all ease. Now if a stranger asks where Mr. Blank lives, we have to pick out the court house, some one of the churches or a school building to identify the locality in which the party lives. With the improved conditions above outlined, we can say "Mr. Blank lives at 1025 Golden street," the stranger catches the first car for Golden street, and there you 'are.

Let us get busy for a greater Bryan. MOVING PICTURES. The Bryan Electric Theater is showing nightly some of the finest moving pictures ever seen in this city. They are on the best circuit in the state which guarantees that they get the best pictures shown anywhere, and the people of Bryan are on an equal footing with the larger cities of the state. The Bryan Electric Theater is fitted up at great expense, in order that the people might have good, clean amusement, and it is furnishing the very best.

It is worthy the patronage of all, and should have it as Bryan would be a dull place indeed if there were no form of amusement. You cannot spend an hour more pleasantly these long winter evenings and it only costa ten cents. RAWLS-PARKER. Mr. John Rawls of this city and Miss Myrtle Parker of Thompson creek, were united in marriae at the court house at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Justice L.

D. McGee officiating. The bride is a daughter of Mr. W. R.

Parker, was reared in this county and is a most estimable young lady. Mr. Rawls is a splendid young man industrious and of high moral character. He has for some time been manager of the extensive stock and farming interests of Mr. Sam Higgs.

They will make their home in this city and the Eagle joins their many friends in wishing for them a long lite of usefulness and happiness. Stoutter's hand painted Haviland China.
