Special Correspondence.
Mesilla, Park, Nov. 20.-The sena-
torial committee arrived this morning
in Las Cruces about 10 O'Clock and left
almost Immediately for the college at
Mesilla Park, arriving here about IL.
The senators were accompanied by
many of the prominent citizens of Las
Cruces. The visitors went through
ali the buildings, inspecting the equip
ment, etc. The main building was
first visited, then the engineering
building, the science hall, woman's hall
and the experiment station. AS the
party were returning from the engin-
ecring building the students were be-
ing dismissed for noon hour, and as
Senators Beverage and Dillingham;
and President Foster, who were in the
lead, neared the main building, nearly
fifty strong voices burst forth in the
strong and resonant college yell:
What's the matter with the senator's?
They're all right!
a. C. of N. NJ. Hurrah! Hurrah!!
A. c. of N. NJ. Hurrah! Hurrah!!
Hoo-rah, Hoo-rah.,
New Mexico, Mexico, rah. rah, rah.
The senators acknowledged the
greeting with waving of hands and tip
ping of their hats.
The party were not expected before
Saturday and they arrived on rather
short notice, but they found us equal
TO the emergency. AS there was no
time to arrange anything with refer
enc to class room work or bringing
together the students, regular work
went IN as usual.
The visitors returned to Las Cruces
where they were given a dinner and
shown around by the committee rep
resenting the chamber of commerce.
Word was received today that the
Indian school foot ball team will be
here on Thanksgiving day to play off
the tie of 0 to 0, the score of the game
played during the Albuquerque fair
week.
The local team will still be weak as
1t was in last Saturdays game with the
Santa Fe Indians on ccoun of the
absence Of the college star half back,
Isaacks. Isaacks is sick in bed and
will not be able to play. He was just
able to come out in a carriage and see
the game last Saturday.
1t Is possible that Ten Yard" Miller,
the college terror on offense, may have
to play the side lines, as he has not
fully recovered from the fall an Indian
gave him. Miller vas obliged to take
the side line early in the first half,
thereby weakening the team considera-
bly,. Metcalfe. at full, in the place OF
Isaacks, and Randall, at left end, play
ed their first games and will no doubt
be much better as a result of the ex-
perience they received.
An exciting game with the Indians
next week is expected. although the
college is not nearly so strong as 1t
was when the two teams met last.
Next Thursday will be a lively day
here, as both games, basket ball with
the Albuquerque High school and foot
ball with the Indians, will be decided
before the day is yer
Interest is also taken in the proba-
ble outcome of the game between the
Santa Fe Indian team and the Las We
gas normal. The result of the game
will settle between what two teams
will have to battle for the i%ntercolle-
gate championship. Should Vegas
win from the Indians, the champion
ship game would be between the agri-
