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

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.

NEW DOLLAR BILL
IS ALL ‘DOLLED UP’
ATLANTA, Dec. 19—Meet il
strange looking and kina of stuck
up dollar bill, don’t be alarmed,
but take it, as it is worth its face
value in gold.
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.
