But the game was one grand bat
Ne 1t was worth dollar of John

Some of the faculty were has

they mixed like old-timers in the

One Of the faculty stated that it
was the annual faculty bone-pull-

it might be, but it is no such thing
with the student body of Aggie.
They took the winning as a matter
of course, but not once was there
the slightest indication that the dig
nifty of the prof. was not recogniz-

the theory that boys take an unfair
advantage in a place like that was

Residents in the vicinity of the

and hit the half-mile track at the
school for two or three laps before
breakfast, and they have been at a

currence. The grand fight that the
faculty put up last night was the
main reason, and it was worth an
