We reached Sherman at 10 o'clock and were met a t the d&jyot by a large crowd of students who gave us a oor. dial reception. Theia- manager then took us in charg-e and conducted us to vario\i3 Steeping places. In the morning we were greatly rejoiced to learn t h a t our new jerseys had come. Aftei- a light dinnei- we boarded the ear for the park which was about a mile and a half from the hotel. Having arrived thejre we ran a few signals and rested till the crowd came. At three o'clock the teams wei-e eafed to the field to begin pCay.

We kicked off and on a so-called otl'-side play, lost the ball and ten yards At this stage o£ the game Austin college did their best work. They cai-ried tlie bail down to our 10-yard line and lost it on downs. We paid them back by carrying it into their territoiy, but also lost it on downs. They took the ball back to our 30yard 'line, their time was called and the first half was over. Score 0 to 0. After a rest of ten minutes they kicked off to Fisher who earned the 'ball about 15 yaa-ds. We lined up and started on our march to either goal line. On arriving there G E O . W .

Many of the papers read by the members in the eliib's meetings were espeially noteworthy. Instead of meeting twice a month a,i foa-merly the club now meets only once, the firsit Tuesday night in each month. The following are the present officers: J. M. Dawson, president; D. F. Dancer, vice-president; W. E. Mason, secretary. The program of the last meeting \\-luch is fairly representative of the kind of woi-k done, was as follows: "Uuinforced Laws of City of Waco," B. F.
