UNIVERSITY NOTES.


Austin, Texas, Dec. 4.-This ends a
dull Geek in University life. The fall
examinations are to commence in
about to eeks and there is hardly
anything Of more interest to all tho
students just at present than lecture
notes or text books. &

that football is forgotten or neglected
altogether. All the examinations
from junior law through post-gradu-
ate could not create such a phenom-
enon. The teams practice every day
regardless Of weather. The second
eleven continues to sprout. Last
Wednesday they defeated the boys
from the Deaf and Dumb institute to
the tune of 20 to o; therefore, fresh
man logician has said, they are twice
as good as the San Antonians. A
game had been arranged between Add
Ran and the Varsity for today but la
ter, negotiations were declared off.
Next Saturday the game for the cham
pionship of the state will be played
on the campus grounds with Dallas as
the defendant. This will be the great
est game of the season an all proph-
ecies as to the winner are very dubi-
Gus. After the holidays, an attempt
will be made to arrange games with
Houston, Galveston, Tulane and Mis-
souri,
