by the vistiing team The girls responded with fifteen "rails" for Baker which was greatly appreciated after being defeated So surprised were they at the yelling ability of our "Oklahoma that they insisted on an encore and the girls gladly responded w'ith the song A The coach then introduced the boys to the girls and for the next thirty minutes they were so royally entertained that the whistle of the approaching train was heard with much regret After yells and cheers from both Baker and A the train rolled out and from each window could be seen a waving cap and smiling face Some of the girls who were so enthusiastic found themselves following the train down the track instead of the walk Those in the crowd were "Curly Locks" Major "Joyful" Holloman "Bat" Brisley Lutz Handel Spain Pulley

8 8 8 8 Athletic Association Entertains Football Teams One of the most enjoyable occasions of the season was the reception given the first and second football teams Friday night by the Athletic Association in the building The reception hall was a mass of ferns and palms artistically arranged The victory over the Baker boys which was so bravely won added much enthusiasm to the evening Music anl fortune telling entertained the guests delightfully Late in the evening the guests were taken to the dining room which was also artistically decorated in ferns and palms intertwined with orange and black There they were served a dainty salad course followed by cream and cake The guests of honor were President Connell Miss Mary Connell Coach Davis and wife Manager Smith and the members of the Athletic Council ENGINEERING SOCIETY In spite of bad weather the Engineering Society met last Wednesday in the Physics lecture room The first speaker was Professor Boyd He gave a very interesting discussion of scientific management Following this Mr Merrill gave a talk on the construction of levees on the Mississippi river At the close of this talk several members of the society added some discus-tion on the same subject Chandler also spoke for a few minutes telling of the construction of a dam out on the College farm After the program a short business meeting was held and the society Playing on a muddy field with a biting wind blowing the Aggies entirely outclassed the fast Baker University football leant of Baldwin Kansas in the first game ever played between these teams winning by a score of 35 to 13 This was by far the best game seen on Lewis Field this season A made her gains on line plunges and end runs only occasionally using a pass However a pass from Weaver to Marker resulted in a touchdown The Aggie line was impenetrable and after Baker discovered that no gains could be made over the line she resorted to passes and frequent fakes byr which all her gains were made Baker scored at the very beginning of the game but could not score again until the last of the final quarter The Aggies scored at regular intervals seemingly throughout the game Shannon scored two touchdowns Marker one Foster one and Gilbert one Foster kicked two goals and Shannon one Laury scored one touchdown and kicked one goal and Martin scored one touchdown for the visitors A scored a safety when Baker attempted to punt from behind goal line and punted outside the field of play The Aggie backfield Shannon Kite F'oster and Gilbert gained consistently Weaver and Vance at quarter both showed to an advantage Weaver being especially good on receiving kicks and running them back while Vance did some excellent tackling Time after time Broich ampbell Marker Hahn Baker Bonar and Woodson blocked passes and punts and threw Baker for big losses Schreiber punted frequently and averaged 40-odd yards Aggie taeklers showed their speed by getting down the field under every punt and tackling Laury before he would gain Fumbles and recoveries were made by both teams Penalties were frequent Rooters Had The rooters certainly did some" They had the old original A spirit bottled up in ten-gallon lots and proceeded to uncork continuously Leaders Tarver and Harrison assisted by "Porters RI kept things at fever heat although several left with frost-lntten feet Every player that made a good gain a line tackle or showed skill and grit in any manner received nine or fifteen rails or a siren from the rooters to show their appreciation of his work The team as a whole received numerous shows of loyalty he 1 i-ger screamed as did ti girls and Clankity Klankity I loop-to-ma-loo" and tied for second place Not only did A receivi applause but Baker was cheered when they deserved it The feature of the rooting came between the second and third quarters when the rooters left the grandstand and staged a snake dance on the gridiron That kind of spirit will certainly help at Norman when tve meet First Quarter Baker won the loss and chose to defend north goal Campbell kicked off to Martin who returned 10 yards Baker around end for 3 A offside Baker was thrown for 5 yards loss Then for loss of 1 yard Baker over line for 2 Fourth down 14 to go Laury punted 40 yards to 888888 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 ON TO NORMAN 8 8 8 8 The rates for a special to Nor- 8 8 man on the 16th have been

indicate that Wilson has carried Indiana and Ohio also Roosevelt seems to have the vote of Pennsylvania and Illinois with a good chance in several other middle western states No reports from the extreme West were received In fact the reports that did come in were scattering and indefinite No reports from the congressional elections in this state were received Most of the districts are close and in RALLY A rooters' rally to get in form for the Baker game was held in the Chapel building Thursday afternoon at 4:30 The crowd was not as large as it should have been but the weather may be blamed for the rather poor attendance When the cadets were excused from drill many in their great joy forgot the rooters' meeting At 4:30 sharp however the rooters of which good per cent were girls led by the president Gilmer and the two cheer leaders and "Red" opened the meeting The yelling was strong considering the size of the crowd All the yells were given in a live snappy manner including one for the Athletic Association given by the three officials above named Tile meeting then adjourned What Is Doing in the Student Organizations Agricultural Society Although the weather was somewhat inclement and wet the sturdy agriculturists met at the usual time and enjoyed a very animated program on the was discussed in its different phases by Mr Webb The possibilities of power some are water steam and gas tractors and stationary steam and gas engines The gas tractor and stationary gas engine are probably the most efficient for the Oklahoman The initial cost of steam equipment is slightly less than for gas but the cost of fuel and engineer's hire will soon more than overcome this item Williams next discussed pro and con "Caponizing for Profit" A little of the history of this subject was lirst divulged Caponizing was carried oil in China 2 000 years ago in ancient Greece and has been a common practice in France for many years It is gradually spreading westward in the United States so that we now have good markets for capons in Chicago St Louis Kansas City and a slight market in Oklahoma City The average capon weighs twelve pounds while the rooster weighs only eight pounds The capon at ten months brings 2o to 40 cents per pound and the rooster 8 to 10 No more feed is required than for the ordinary fowl Calculating from the above we see that in caponizing too fowls we increase our profit $22ooo too Capons (a i21bs each i2oo lbs t2oo tbs C(i 25c per lb $30000 t2oo tbs fa' 5c tier lb cost bo 00 too Roosters (a 8 lbs each 800 tbs 800 tbs (it 10c per tb 8000 Cost to
