J ———— AGGIES HAND 7 TO 0 BEAT- ING TO SEWANEE TIGERS (Continued from Page 1) be broken up or sifted through and the runner brought down. Aside from the drive early in the game which resulted in the Aggies scoring after two beautiful passes the Texans did not show the power of- fensively that it was hoped they would show. They had but little opportu- nity to show much offense, however, as Sewanee kept the ball most of the time. The Mountaineers gained al- most at will through passes in their territory but they did not have the punch to put it over the last white line. Magnificent line defense and good end play made consistent gains impossible for Sewanee and they put all of their reliance on the overhead attack for their victory. Wilson Kicks Well. The good toe of Fay Wilson had much to do also with the Sewanee defeat. Fay got his kicks off quickly and for magnificant distances. The height of his boots though was not sufficient to make it possible for the ends to get down under them but the magnificent work of Allison in all phases of the game and of Wilson and Beutel from this standpoint prevent- ed Barker, a whizz, from making the yardage he would have made other- wise. It was magnificent training for the Aggies. Usually rated as weak in their defense against the pass they had to withstand the passing attack, and it was an attack of brilliance, too, throughout the full four periods of the game. No injuries were spstained and al- though Bible and Rothgeb would have liked to have seen more offensive op- portunity and power on the part of the Aggies they regard it as a very economical lesson for their proteges. It is doubtful whether any of the Ag- gies ever again will face such an over head attack as that they met and met satisfactorily, especially when it had to be met in Saturday’s game. Sewanee brought a good team to Dallas. A team of great potentialities and one that had suffered a whipping a week before from a weaker team. They came determined to beat A. and M. and remove the sting of their earlier defeat as well as to even the score with the Texans. Those who saw Saturday’s battle got their money’s worth for it was one thrill right after another. There were lots of old Aggies there, too. The game play by play follows: First Period. Only a slight breeze blew across the surface of the stadium bowl, leaving no advantage for the side winning the toss, except for the lo- cation of the extremely high sun. Sewanee won the toss and elected to kick off with the sun blazing down into the eyes of the receiving Aggies. Mahoney’s kick off soared across the goal line and the Aggies put the ball in play on their 20-yard line. Kishi rapped right tackle for 2 yards and Wilson punted to Baker, who returned 3 yards to Sewanee’s 43-yard line, where Dieterich spilled him. Gibbon’s attempt at a left-end run was spoiled by Mitt Dansby, who threw him for a 6-yard loss. From a fake formation Baker attempted to hit the line, fum- bled and Wilson recovered for A. and M. on Sewanee’s 40-yard line. Alli- son went through the line for 5 yards. Fay Wilson atempting to run from a pass formation, was spilled by Beaton for a T-yard loss. Berry picked up a yard over left tackle. Fay Wilson punted across Sewanee’s goal line, Sewanee putting the ball in play on the 20-yard line. Mahoney attempted to pass from a punt formation, but overthrew Baker’s head. Mahoney punted to Berry, who ran back the kick 15 yards to A. and M.'s 49-yard line. Time out, A. and M., Norman Dansby. Aucoin for Beatty, Sewanee. Mitt Dansby’s long pass was receiv- ed by Allison in a fine jump above a pair of Sewanee’s defenders. First down, A. and M. on Sewanee’s 24- yard line. Berry made a yard into the line. On a cross-buck Kishi skirt- ed right tackle for 4 yards On a double pass, Fay Wilson to Dansby to W. Wilson, the later made first down on Sewanee’s 1-yard line. Fay Wilson smashed right guard for the touchdown. Mitt Dansby Place-kick- ed the extra point. Aggies 7, Sewanee 0. Mahoney kicked off across the goal line. The ball was put in play on the 20-yard line for A. and M. Mitt Dans- by tore 7 yards through center. Mitt Dansby hit the left side for first down on ‘A. and M.’s 30-yard line. Wilson in spite of a very bad pass from cen- ter, punted out of bounds on Sewa- nee’s 22-yard line. Mahoney passed to Harris, who made 5 yards after taking the throw for a 9-yard gain. Mahoney failed to gain on a line try, a short pass across the line, Harris to Gooch, from a cross buck formation netted first down on Sewanee’s 38-yard line. Gibbons failed to gain at right end, when Dieterich tackled him. Perry took Harris's short pass and carried it to the 50-yard line for first down. It was a very pretty play by the re- ceiver, who was cevered thoroughly by the Aggies’ secondary defense. Harris went outside right tackle for 7 yards. Barker made a runing catch of Harris’ pass to the left side of the line, although he got the ball in a poor position to catch. The over- head game had carried Sewanee 40 yards down the field. Gibbons lost a yard on a line try. Harris’ short pass to Baker received behind the line of scrimmage netted only a 3-yard gain. A forward pass was grounded out of bounds. Barker made but 2 yards on a left-end run and A. and M. got the ball on downs on its own 27-yard line. Fay Wilson took 4 through the right side of the line. Kishi took a yard over right tackle. Fay Wilson punted to Barker, who returned 15 yards to the Sewanee 44-yard line. Time out, Sewanee. Barker was spilled by Allison on a quarter back through center play, but both sides were off side. Allison dumped Har- ris for 3 yards loss before he could dart through left end. A forward pass was battered down. Mahoney passed to Harris for an 8-yard gain as the quarter ended. Score, Aggies 7, Sewanee 0. Second Period. Sewanee’s ball on its own 50-yard line, fourth down, four yards to go. Ochterbeck for Norman Dansby, A. and M. Mahoney’s punt was par- tially blocked, but he got it away, bowling it down the ground to A. and M.s 28.yard line, where Dieterich fell on the ball. Stansell for Beaton, Sewanee. Kishi was stopped at right guard. Wilson punted to Barker who returned seven yards to his own 43- yard line. A. and M., however, was offside and was penalized five yards when Sewanee elected to take the penalty instead of the gain. Fay Wil- son punted to Barker, who returned five yards to his own 44-yard line. Mahoney passed well over Barker's head. The runner was loose. Harris rushed by the Aggie forwards, grounded an underhand pass that looked extremely intentional from the stands. Fay Wilson batted down Harris’ pass. Mahoney punted to Berry, who fumbled on his own 15- yard line, where Mitt Dansby recov- ered. Time out, A. and M., Diete- rich. Fay Wilson drove a high punt to Barker, who ran it back six yards to his own 45-yard line, where Al- lison spilled him like a ton of brick. Harris’ short pass to Gooch was grounded. Mahoney’s pass to Barker, again loose, was a rifle throw that overshot the receiver. Gibbons, in a beautiful right-end run carried the ball to A. and M.s 40-yard line for a first down. Tackled three times, he got to his feet diving and scram- bling, and ‘kept going. Irvin for Dieterich. Beutel for W. W. Wilson, A. and M. Harris passed to Perry, who tossed a high spiral to Barker for another two yards making a five-| yard gain. Gibbons lost two yards on a line play. Gibbons’ short pass was grounded.

Harris passed to Gooch, who was downed on A. and M.s 23-yard line where he took the ball by Fay Wilson. Time out, Sewa- nee. Haynes for Mahoney, Sewanee. Mahoney had to be carried off the field to the Sewanee side line. He was the Tigers’ only kicker and his loss was expected to work a severe handicap on the Purple eleven. A left-end run failed to gain. Haynes went into the line for a yard. From a fake pass formation, Harris, at- tempting to run after the play, was badly muddled, was thrown for a 5- yard loss. A forward pass was grounded out of bounds but Sewanee was offside and A. and M. took the penalty. Harris passed to Gooch, who received the ball but made only about an 8-yard gain, the ball going to A. and M. on downs. Fay Wilson's long and difficult punt was taken by Bar- ker and run back 4 yards to his own 34-yard line. Allison dived into Gib- bons as he took Harris’ pass, giving him a 2-yard loss. Harris passed to Barker for 13 yards and they first downed on the Sewanee 45-yard line. Time out A. and M., Maguire for M. Dansby, A. and M., Bill Pinson for Fay Wilson A. and M. Harris was run out of bounds on a right-end run by Beautell, losing 8 yards. Guitar for Gibbons, Sewanee. Guitar was spilled for a 4-yard loss by Waugh. A long pass, Harris to Guitar, was grounded, Sewanee arguing that Pin- son palpably held the receiver. Har- ris punted out of bounds on A. and M.’s thirty-seven-yard line. Pinson slashed left tackle for six yards. Kishi failed to gain over left guard, when Pinson failed to hand him the ball cleanly. A. and M. offside, five yards.

Scores of periods: Texas Aggies Sewane —7 0 0 0 00 A. & M. 54; SOUTHWESTERN 0 Encountering but scant opposition from the so-called “Pirates” from Southwestern University of George- town the Texas Aggies administered the worst drubbing ever received by the Methodists Friday, Oct. 3, the fi- nal score being 54 to 0. And it would have been twice that had not the quar- ters been fifteen, twelve and one-half and ten and ten minutes in the game instead of the usual fifteen minute periods throughout. The Pirates after getting a ram- ming from the first string had the life and fight kicked out of them when Bible’s second string crew showed more punch and drive than the first team. Bible’s first team marched down the field after the kickoff with little re- sistance on the left end of the South- | western line and made a touchdown in the first five minutes, with Fay Wilson doing most of the plunging. In five minutes more they were back on the Southwestern line. Silent Mil- ler took the ball and drove for two yards lacking for first down. He failed, for he broke his leg and was borne from the field by five Aggies, who wept as they carried him off. Bible then sent in his second team and they made six more touchdowns in the second, third, and first part of the fourth qaurters before being re- lieved once more to give the first string another warming. Forward passes, Pinson to Berry for 35 yards, and Pinson to Wilson, 15 yards, was the final gain for the first touchdown made by the second string, Wilson soecring. Plenty of Scoring A 40-yard run by Berry, and two line drives for eight yards each by McGuire accomplished the third touch- down of the game. McGuire also made the fourth when he intercepted a pass and ran 35 yards. McGuire and Woodman did most of the plunging for the fifth, with Wood- man scoring: McGuire made the sixth after the ball had been recov- ered on Southwestern’s blocked punt on her own 15-yard line. Pinson broke loose in the latter part of the third quarter for a 40-yard gain and Woodman took it over the goal in two trials. The first team got back in the fight just long enough to plunge through the field for 60 yards and a final touchdown. Wilson and Berry making easy gains and Kishi scoring after a 20-lard scoot. Forgason was successful six times out of seven trials for goal after the touchdown. Dansby missed one. Passes Gain Distance Southwestern made her only two first downs in the last five minutes of the game when she tried the aerial route and completed a couple of passes which took them within 10 yards of the A. and M. goal. Gunn smeared a pass for 20 yards and Perrin took an- other one of Fox’s throws for 15 yards. Captain J. W. Reynolds of the Pi- rates and Camp were the only two of the visitors to show any football prowess in the game. The Pirates were seriously hampered by the ab- sence of Skipworth, who was injured at Austin last week. Line up for A. and M.-Southwestern game: Southwesterns—B. Reynolds and Meeks, tackles; Bachtel and Dun- can, guards; Camp, center; Weather- by, quarter; Royal and Beard, halves; Mateer, fullback. A. and M.—Buetel and Ellison, ends; Dieterich and Waugh, tackles; Norman Dansby and Hardman, guards; Braezlton, center; Berry, quarter; Fay Wilson and Kishi, halves; Miller, fullback. Substitutes, Southwestern — Whitehurst, Black- burn, Meeks, Duggan, Roundtree, Cox, Dunn, Adams, West. A. and M.— Mit Dansby, Forgason, McGuire, Woodman, Irvin, W. Wilson, Price, Pinson, Ochterbeck, Rideout, Meitzen, Arnold. Referee, Burton Rix, Dart- mouth. Umpire, Venne, Carlisle. Headlinesman, Hudson, Texas. Field Judge, W. W. Kraft, Northwestern. RRR ORR ZOROF OL OOROTOSOROI ORO OTOROROROROLO ® Sport Fodder BOR RR OSIRIS ORORORORO OG OSOROSOSOSOSOZOR ZO The Aggies would gladly have traded their 54 to 0 victory over South- western for a 10 to 0 loss if they could have come through without injury to Louie Miller. No one knows just how the break was sustained. He gotitina plunge through the line right on the goal line and in a heavily piled scrim- mage. His injury stirred the cadet corps to a frenzied spirit. Little Ber- ry and Norman Dansby and Waugh kept the Aggie morale from dampen- ing and the ball was shot over for an early touchdown. * 8 ® We must not get many injuries. Reserve strength in the line is more dependable, but in the back field it is almost negligible. Woodmen, McGuire, and Bill Pinson are all good young- sters but they lack that old steadying influence that must be exerted in a crisis—and there will be lots of them when the Conference games get un- der way. Miller had a great football temperament. The harder the sled- ding, the more difficult the obstacle, the leaner the chance, the better was his work. Who will ever forget that sixty yard kick in the Centre game in the teeth of a 20 mile an hour wind, squarely through the goal posts and in the face of a strong team. And who will forget the following year when Louie dropped clear back to the bleachers over at Clarke field in a crucial moment and sent another six-- ty yard kick flying through the goal posts and far into safe territory? Those were two of the greatest kicks ever to be uncorked in Texas football and did much to insure the Aggie vic- tories which followed. * % * Beutel got sucked in, so did Kishi, and before they knew it Gunn, a fast man for Southwestern had ripped off some eighteen yards around that end in just about the only first down the Pirates—they were mighty tame Pi- rates, made during the game. Fay Wilson downed Gunn. x % 2 Kishi has not been advancing the ball much. In the Sewanee game he doubtless will get ample opportunity to see what he can do under fire. On every attempt he has made a consist- ent gain so far. As more experienced teams are encountered and a more diversified attack is required there will be more work for the wily Jap. * k Xk Over at Baylor Frank Bridges scheduled a game for Dallas Day at the Fair on Tuesday, October 14th and another with Arkansas Univer- sity at Baylor on Saturday, Oct. 18th. We'll pick up a few thousand shekels “We’ll pick up a few thousand shek- els with a set-up game,” Frank said to himself. Instead he drew a Tar- tar and got beat by the fast moving normal school with an abnormal foot- ball team. Then Bridges meets Ar- kansas on Saturday and Francis Sch- midt will have a powerful offense team. Arkansas will be fast and heavy and will deal misery to a good many conference elevens this fali. They also meet S. M. U. at Fayet- ville, T. C. U. at Fayettville, and Oklahoma A. and M. at Stillwater. Somewhere in that quartette they will get the cleaning that will eliminate them. * kk * S. M. U. has a very heavy confer- ence schedule. They play Texas .and A. and M. at Dallas, T. C. U. at Dal- las, Arkansas at Fayettville, Baylor at Dallas, and close on Thanksgiving Day with Oklahoma A. and M. at Dallas. Six conference games but all save one are on the home soll. * % ® Bob Berry handled two of Se- wanee’s kicks poorly last week. Both of them tho were received with a blazing sun right in his eye. He did not get away for as good returns of punts as did Barker but Sewanee’s kicks were much higher than the Ag- gies’, giving their ends more time to get down under them. LA Rothgeb has fashioned a line that can stand the gaff. No team is go- ing to do much with A. and M. this season. Will the Aggie offense, ohw- ever, be strong enough to run up the needed points? Defensively it looks like A. and M. will be much stronger than was the case last year. This season in Berry, Wilson, Dansby, Clem Pinson and Kishi, D. X. has some backs who will be dangerous at every stage of the game on account of their speed. x %x * Here is the schedule for the next two weeks: Friday, Oct. 17th. Texas A. and M. vs. Aransas Ag- gies, College Station. T. C. U. vs. Simmons Colege at Abilene. Saturday, Oct. 18th. Texas vs. S. M. U. at Dallas. Baylor vs. Arkansas University at Waco.

There isn’t much news in Wichita Falls now, but such as it is, here it is. Hoots Williams, with the Anderson Clayton Cotton Company, stopped off with us for a little visit last week and, as usual, put a little life into the community. C. C. Crosnoe was in Wichita this week on “Official Business.” H. B. Dunn is back at work, after two weeks vacation in Dallas. J. B. Joyce, Supt. Texhoma Oil and Refining Co., leaves this week for Washington and Indianapolis where he will attend the meeting of the National Safety Council. We were both pleased and surpris- ed to receive the announcement last week of the marriage of our own Col. P. C. Franke.
