The performance of Joel Hunt in
the S. M, U. game stamps him as one
of the greatest backs in the history
of the Southwest. He averaged well
over forty yards in his kicking, pass-
ed better than Jerry Mann, and lugged
that old ball in a manner that has
never has been equaled in this part of
the country before. He will go down
in history as one of the greatest backs
of all times in the Southwest,

Rice next for the Aggies and then
the final game against Texas on
Kyle Field. Neither will be easy bat-
tles. Most any team has at least one
good game a season in its system and
the Rice Owls will likely play their
one game of the year against the Ag-
gies as they have so often done in the
past. It is played in Houston and that
will help the Feathered Tribe.

Texas has been disappointing.
There is more power on their squad
than has been seen in the Southwest
in many days but they have not yet
perfected their play to utilize it. If
they round into shape for the Turkey-
Day game it will be a bitter battle
with no odds either way,

“Chuck” Bassett, in his first year
at Aggieland, has ably upheld the
A. & M. line traditions. His forward
wall in the Mustang game functioned
perfectly, powerfully and smoothly.
Few fans realize that on Hunt’s
sweeping gains off tackle the inter-
ference running of the guards is the
making or breaking of the play.

Let’s see now, S, M. U. beat Mis-
souri, Missouri beat Northwestern,
Northwestern beat Ohio State. Oh!
Well, what’s the use? We haven’t

The S. M. U. game drew the largest
crowd to Kyle Field in history with
the exception of the Thanksgiving
Close to fifteen thousand
fans were on hand for the greatest
football exhibition ever put on in the
Conferenc,

At the end of the S. M. U. game
the Aggie backfield was made up en-
tirely of youngsters. Ish, Dorsey,
Varnell and Davis. Hunt is the only
man lost from the backfield this year
but that’s plenty and Bassett loses
nearly his whole line,

The Southwestern Conference has
perhaps never seen as many sterling
ball carriers as it boasts this year.
Joel Hunt of our own Aggies leads
the gang but Mann and Hume of S.
M. U. are not far behind. “Blackie”
Williams of T. C. U. is another ‘good
one when in shape and Weir Washam
of Baylor is hard to beat when not
injured. Cole of Arkansas is a real
star and a triple threat man and
Texas University has several star
backs. S. M. U. has so many good
ones that W. C. Lynch, a star, must
grace the bench much of the time.

Outstanding linemen are not so
plentiful this year. “Rags” Mat-
thews of the Horned Frogs ranks
among the greatest ends of all times
in the Southwest but there are few
other outstanding ends in the con-
ference this year. Petty and Sikes
of the Aggies, Dawson of the Mus-
tangs and Rose of the Arkansas Hogs
are the next best.

There are no really outstanding
tackles or centers in the conference
this year and while there are lots of
good men playing none of them stand
out at their position like the back-
field stars or like Matthews at end.

The decisive victory of S. M. U.
over Missouri has won much recog-
nition for the Southwest. Missouri
is still undefeated in the Missouri
Valley and after losing to S. M. U.
beat Northwestern, one of the strong-
est elevens in the Big Ten Confer-
ence. Then Texas beat Vanderbilt
and the Aggies trounced Sewanee.

eleven to come into the Southwest.

The future of football in Ft, Worth
seems assured. The A. & M.-T. C. U.
game there was played to the big-
gest football crowd in’ the history of
the city. Ft. Worth has always been
primarily a baseball town but the
diamond now has a rival.

The Aggies piled up their top-
heavy score against Texas Tech by
the aerial route, largely. The Tech
defense was helpless, mostly because
of failure to rush Hunt or his passes.

PURINA AGGIES
CHOOSE OFFICERS
AT CLUB MEETING
0. L. Bird, ’24, Heads Purina A. & M.
Club Following Breakfast Meet-
ing in Kansas City Recently
The Purina Texas A. & M. Club,
composed of all the Aggies connected
with that company recently held their
second annual meeting at the Presi-
dent Hotel in Kansas City in the form
of a breakfast. About thirty men
were present, more than enough to
give the people of Kansas City an
excellent sample of the old Aggie
spirit. The Purina A. & M. Club is
unique in that it is the only such A.
& M. Club in existence. There are
more A. & M. men with the Purina
Company than from any other insti-
tution and this company has time and
again expressed themselves as being
eminently satisfied with the kind of
men the Institution is turning out.
The breakfast that morning brought
out once more the calls for “Sky
Juice,” “Reg,” “Dope” and “Saw-
dust,” to the great mystification of
the hovering waiters. Breakfast over
various ones of the group were called
upon for short speeches. Football,
naturally, became the livest topic, and
the present, past and future seasons
were well gone over. Messages of
cooperation and commendation were
despatched to the Association head-
quarters and to “Dutch” Hohn and
the Endowment Plan.
After a hot election the following
officers were announced for the com-
ing year: President, O. L. Bird, ’24;
Vice President, Jack McCullough, "24;
Secretary, J. F, Schultz, 23. “Goodbye
to Texas University,” “Gig ’em Ag-
gies” and Farmers Fight finished the
session with everyone determined to
be again on hand next year. Among
those present were the following:
B. F. Brown, 1923, Ardmore, Okla.

“MULE” WILSON
SETS EM AFIRE
INPRO. FOOTBALL
The New York World of October 24
carried a story of the victory of the
New York Football Giants over the
Frankford Yellow Jackets, National
League Champions, in which “Mule”
Wilson, of Honey Grove, Texas, and
former Aggie star, was given much
glory.
The former Aggie star is playing
his first year with the Giants and was
mentioned as a big factor in their
many victories thus far this season.
The following is an excerpt from
the New York World on Wilson's
playing:
“But MeBride and Haines are not
entitled to all of the glory of the
Giants’ fourth victory of the season.
On the New York team this year are
two rawbone boys from the wide open
spaces of Oklahoma and Texas, Dr.
Al White and “Mule” Wilson. White,
the Oklahoma lad, was with the Giants
last year, and is not new to the Polo
Ground fans. But this is Wilson's
first season, and he’s making the most
of At.
“He learned his football at Texas
Aggies and was considered one of the
best halfbacks in the Lone Star State
when he went to school. In addition
to his football ability, Wilson is a
sprinter and more than once has trav-
eled a hundred yards in 9 4-5 seconds
He is big, strong and powerful and
yesterday he ripped and tore wide
open the Frankford line with his
plunges.”
