WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19. 1923 ISTUDENTSMUP FACULTV II CH ME. 33 TH II Spirited Game Shows Good Feel ing Between Aggie Profs and Boys; Have Good Team "Frame-up!” "Robber!” And other similar accusations were lordly voiced by tne faculty, of the Third District A. & M. school when the whistle ended the basket ball game between the students and faculty 'male) teams to the total ending ci 33 to 11‘ in favor of the U boys. .• I J ‘'That I rot. Prance knows his' stuff in the class-room, but he ain’t I no good on the basket ball court,’ ' observers heard students whisper. I And “you know Mr. Owen, who just raid 'hat he had a broken rib ain’t hurt at all, he'* just w’nded —that’s all.” But the game was one grand bat tle. It was worth a dollar of John D’s. money, and it didn’t cost a , cent. It was fine to see the spirit of fun run wild in the older mem bers of the faculty and the fine sportsmanlike attitude taken by the *• student body. I Some of the faculty were “has beens” but they were evidently good they slow’ up—not even stall to get breath. It was a fight and in their day, and never once did they mixed like old-timers in ■the cage sport. One of the faculty stated that it was the-annual ‘‘faculty bone-pull ing contest,” and to some observers 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 nity of the prof, was not recogniz ed. They’re to be commended, and the theory that boys take an unfair advantage in a place like that was forever exploded so far as the Third District school is concerned. Residents in the vicinity of the suburb, have for the past few weeks, seen old men don track togs, and hit the half-mile track at the school for two or three laps before breakfast, and they have been at a loss to understand the strange oc currence. The grand fight that the faculty put up last night was the fiiain reason, and it was worth an- Sthen mile of track work to win game, faculty members stated. "If we’d only kept training, not eaten candy or drunk dopes and cofiee, we would have won the game,” was the alibi of the facul ty team. "The ladies did not play because of the inclement weather,” Mr. Prance stated. “Both games will be played for the benefit of the public after the Christmas holidays and we are going to bid for the Rapport of the people of Americus tit the game. The faculty will need Tots of moral support, and 1 believe the game will be worth the small charge which the athletic associa tion has set for it.” The game is worth whatever the athletic assoication charges in the opinion of this writer, and if the people of Americus who like com edy, good basketball and a lot of fun do not rally to support the game, they will be passing-up one of the fullest evening’s entertain ment that has been here for some time. Incidentally, Aggie should have a good cage team this season. They have, a couple of men now who are not half-bad in placing the br.ll through the hoops, and by the end of the season, they should have a SURE IT JOES GOOD Thedford’s Black-Draught Liver Medicine (Vegetable) Praised by the Head of a Louisiana Family. Lake Charles, La.—“l don’t know what we would have done had we not had Black-Draught. It sure is one of the best medicines made, and am sure the best liver medicine,” said Mr. Henry Garrett, of this city. i ‘‘My whole family uses it,” continued Mr. Garrett. ‘‘My wife says she believes she kept off the 'flu’ by taking doses of Black-Draught regularly. | “1, myself, use Black-Draught for indigestion, and it is fine. ‘‘We used pills and tablets and other laxatives, but they never seemed to do us good, but the Black-Draught sure has, ana it has come to our house to stay. We give it to our daughter for headache and torpid liver. I "I am glad to recommend anything' that has been the help to my family that i „ Black-Draught has. “ ‘‘My present health is good. Have two boxes of Black-Draught in the house now.” If ybur liver gets out of fix, take Black-Draught. It will help to drive the bile poisons and other unhealthful mat- ( tecs out of your system.

The latest creation of the. 1 U. S. treasury, as Atlanta bankers point out here today, has made its debut in our circulation. It’s a lalapa loola, all dolled up in a new dress of blue and black the figures stand | ing out like sharp silhouettes [against a clear background. The Federal Reserve bank of At ' lanta, has received the bills. The seal is blue, as is also a large numeral “1.” Also the word “one”, 'is spelled in full and scattered over •the new certificate. There’s not so I much banjo work on the new cer- I tificate, but the clear sharp, en i graving stands out in bold relief, and it’s simply different. So if you run into one of these welcome little strangers,* remove your hat and give it a fitting salute and salaam. During the last year the United States bureau of standards tested 6700 precision weights, the largest number ever tested in any one year.
