The loss for most of the rest of
the season of Nick Willis, 195
pound senior guard who suffered
a cracked fore-arm in the Baylor
game, will be felt in the remain-
ing games. However, the fine form
shown in recent games by Joe
Routt, 185 pound Chapel Hill soph-
omore and Walter Phythian, 190
pound Junior College graduate, in-
dicates that they will give the
veteran Marion Crow plenty of
support at the guard positions.
The play on which the Aggies
scored their lone touchdown
against Baylor was a honey. With
the ball on the Bear’s 5 yard line
Johnie Morrow, stellar soph end,
went around left end on an end-
around play. He crossed the
goal line almost unnoticed, so de-
ceptive was the play.
The best defensive back on the
Aggie freshman team is said to
be Owens Rogers, 170 pound Mart
star, who is a deadly tackler and
who does as well against passes.
Another freshman back who has
performed well is Jean Devine, son
of Pat Devine, ’12, now engaged
in engineering work with the WPA
staff at Ft. Worth.
The second-half come-back by
the Cadet Eleven at Ft. Worth,
when they tallied twice and had
the Frogs hanging on the ropes
in desperation, evidently took much
out of the boys. They did not look
like the same team against Bay-
lor, except for their brief flash at
the opening of the game when they
drove to their only touchdown.
This year’s Aggie team has a
peculiar record. They lost to Tem-
ple, Centenary and T. C. U. in the
same order as they lost last fall,
but in each game played far bet-
ter football than they did in 1934.
Then, they lose to Baylor, a team
they beat last fall, and play poor-
er football than against the other
three foes. The same brand of foot-
“ball against Baylor that was play-
ed against T. C. U. would have
~ brought victory.
It wasn’t that the boys did not
fight against Baylor. They fought,
but nothing went the way it should
have gone, and their own mis-
plays hurt them far more than
Baylor’s best efforts.
You never can tell about football
players. At the opening of the fall
season the regular tackles were
Lindsey and Kirby, with Church
and Elmendorf as understudies.
Both Kirby and Lindsey have been
injured, but their places have been
nicely filled by John Whitfield, a
squadman from last year, and Roy
Young, converted into a tackle
from an end. Worry over the ser-
ious illness of his father in San
Antonio is one big reason Ed El-
mendorf has not shown the form
expected of him after his sensa-
tional game against the Texas Uni-
versity Freshmen last fall in Aus-
tin.
Col. Frank Anderson, Comman-
dant, is coaching this fall's Aggie
cross-country team. He has the
boys running up and down the
seats in the Stadium in an effort
to build them up and accustom
them to the hills around Austin
where this fall’s conference meet
will be held. After training on the
lat terrain around College Station
the team finds itself badly handi-
capped when it hits the four mile
up and down course at Austin.
Percy Reid, the big 195 pound
Aggie back whose play to date has
been disappointing, has been ad-
vised by his physician to give up
football. The Corpus Christi lad
has been iil for several weeks, but
not seriously enough to keep him
off the squad. He is a senior and
completed his eligibility this fall.
He was expected to be a star but
injuries and illness combined to
ruin his chances.

CADETS STAGE
COME-BACK BUT
"L0SE T0 FROGS
Although they failed for the
eleventh time to gain a victory
over T. C. U. the Texas Aggies
this year turned in a remarkable
game against the Frogs even in
losing 19 to 14. The tilt was play-
ed before 15000 spectators, with
the Aggie Cadet Corps on hand to
pull for its team. It was a rough,
tough, spectacular game that
wrecked the nerves of spectators
about as kad as it punished the
bodies of the players.
The Aggies trailed 19 to 0 at
the end of the half and it looked
like the Frogs could make the
score as high as they wanted. Then
the lid blew off with the second
half kick-off. Taking the ball on
their own goal line the Aggies
carried it straight down the field
for their first touchdown. They
outplayed their rivals completely
during the entire last half, count-
ing another touchdown late in the
fourth quarter. Forced to kick-off
after this tally to T. C. U. the
raging Aggies had to see the prec-
ious playing seconds tick away
while the Frogs played for time
and held the ball until the game
ended.
The Aggies started the game by
taking the kick-off and making
five first downs before losing the
ball on the Frog 28 yard line. All
their gain was nullified when Law-
rence of T. C. U. broke loose for
a 62 yard run to the Aggie 8 yard
line where he was pulled down by
Taylor Wilkins. On the next play
Kline scored for the Frogs. Later
in the first half the Frogs scored
twice more, both times on long
passes from Baugh to Clark. That
ended their scoring for the day
but it was too great a lead for
the Cadets to overcome.
Farmers Fight”
Opening the second half Man-
ning took the kickoff on his 2
yard line and returned to his 25.
Pitner went thru the middle on a
fake pass for a first down on the
Aggies 37 and Manning went off
left tackle for another first down
on the Frog 45. Pitner added six
on a spinner and then tossed to
Wilkins for a first down on the
Frog 30. Nesrsta hit right tackle
for 10 and a holding penalty put.
the ball on the T. C. U. 5. Pitner
carried it thru the line and Wilkins
kicked goal.
The Aggies scored again in the
last quarter when Manning re-
turned a punt from his 14 yard
line to the" T.:.C=, UU. 45.7 Pitner
passed to Wicker to the Frog 20,
and then Pitner spun thru the line
to the T. C. U. 7 yard line. He
passed to Wilkins for the tally and
Wilkins again converted. The game
ended with the score 19 to 14, and
with T. C. U. desperately stalling
for time.
Proof of the game played by
the Aggies can be found in the
statistics. The Cadets piled up a
total of 24 first downs as compar-
ed with T. C. Us 14, and gained
368 yards from scrimmage against
the Frogs 337. “Doc” Pitner was
the big shot in the Aggie offense,
ably assisted by Manning, Nesrsta
and Cummings. Wilkins, Morrow,
DeWare, Routt, Whitfield and
Young starred in the line. Baugh,
Lester and Lawrence were out-
standing for the Frogs.

AGGIE FISH SQUAD FEATURING
MANY STAR PROSPECTS GETTING
READY FOR RICE SLIMES NOY. 11
Sprinkled liberally with former
high school and junior college stars
Coach “Siki” Sikes Aggie freshman
squad, 52 strong, is putting in
over-time these days getting ready
for the big game with the Rice
Slime team in Houston on Nov-
ember 11. Another major game for
the young Aggies will be their
final encounter of the year against
the Texas University freshmen on
November 27 at This
year’s Aggie freshman squad is
said to be the best in the history
of the school. A lop-sided victory
over the Allen Academy Ramblers
has already been credited to the
College.
squad.
Aiding head freshman coach
Sikes in whipping the Fish into
shape and in teaching them the
fundamentals they will need so
badly as varsity players next fall
is J. W. “Dough” Rollins, Assist-
ant Athletic Director. Also on the
freshman staff are Paul Callahan,
ineligible veteran varsity end and
Pete Dowling, out of football this
fall because of last year’s injuries.
HEADLINERS s
Although their past performan-
ces mean nothing to their coaches
the squad shows several men whose
records fairly sparkle with bril-
liance in their high school and prep
school days. Galloping Dick Todd,
of Crowell, is the shifties of the
freshman backs, and looks like
a great running back for future
varsity teams. Ranking along with
him and even better as a defensive
back is Owens Rogers, of Mart.
Both are 170 pounders, fine tack-
lers and excellent defensive men
against passes. Todd is the fast-
est, and is perhaps the fastest
back among the freshmen. Eura
Brim, 190 pound full-back from
Grove, Okla., was an All-State
back in that state last fall. Bill
Audish of Brenham -and Sentell
Caffrey of Cisco are a pair of
backs who receive state-wide rec-
ognition last fall.
Among the linesmen with pre-
vious fine records are Zed Coston,
210 pound center of Dallas, who
was an All-State player and star-
red last fall at Schreiner; Rankin
Britt, 206 pound All-State end
from Ranger; R. B. Rackley, 210
pound guard who played at Schrei-
ner and others.
The past performances of these
men mean nothing to the Aggie
freshman coaching staff and sev-
eral comparative unknowns have
this fall outshone some of the
former stars. Prospective guards
on the freshman team loom as the
strongest of any position with
Rackley, Crook, Harris, Pickoff,
Hinnant and Gearke all looking
like fine varsity timber. Among
the tackles Freeman Bokenkamp
of Houston looks especially im-
pressive, with big Oscar Hallar
shining on the defense.
Coston and Burns to date have
lead the way among the centers.
Britt looks like the greatest end
prospect ever to enroll at Texas
A. & M. Among the backs who
have shown best so far are Rogers,
Todd, Brim, Audish, Caffrey, De-
vine, Murphy and Cooper. The lat-
ter is the best passer and next to
the best kicker on the squad but
lacks speed and power. The best
kicker on the squad is guard R.
B. Rackley, who played full-back
at Corpus Christi before becoming
a running guard at Schreiner. Dick
Todd is also a nice kicker.
The fastest backs on the squad
are Henry Dittman, Clifford Lee,
Todd, Rogers, and Bernard Hesse.
Bill Audish is a capable place-
kicker. Brim, Audish, Caffrey,
Todd, Rogers, Cooper and one or
two others are passers, with Coop-
er the best of the lot. One feature
of this year’s freshman squad is
the number of big men available,
with very few boys among the
group under 170 pounds. Over 125
men have been outfitted with uni-
forms since the start of the sea-
son, many dropping out after a
few days practice with the squad.
Fundamentals and
scrimmages against the varsity
have occupied most of the time of
the practice sessions to date. It
is expected, however, that an in-
creasing amount of time will be
devoted during the remainder of
the fall to preparing the team for
its encounters with freshman ri-
vals from Rice and Texas. At the
present time the only thought in
the minds of the Fish is the Rice
game on Nov. 11.

BAYLOR TAKES
GRID FEATURE
OF HOMECOMING
Baylor Universitie’s battling
Bruins gave the Aggies some of
their own medicine on Kyle Field
on October 26 when they ruined a
fine homecoming for over a thous-
and A. & M. Exes by trouncing
the Cadets, 14-6. For the past
several years the A. & M. Baylor
game at Waco has been made the
Baylor Homecoming Game, and the
Aggies have usually won. The
Bears returned the compliment in
an upset victory achieved largely
thru the stellar passing and kick-
ing of Lloyd Russell, star Baylor
back. It was the Bears first victory
of Record on Kyle Field.
The Aggie line, starring Roy
Young and John Whitfield at tack-
les, Taylor Wilkins and Johnnie
Morrow at ends and “Chip”
Routt at guard, held Baylor to a
net gain of only 15 yards on run-
ning plays and opened holes for
Aggie backs to make 8 first downs
compared to Baylor's 5. But one
long pass, Russell to Clark brought
one Bear tally and they counted
another via the air when Russell
passed to Williams from the 10
yard line.
The Aggies scored early -in the’
first quarter. Taking the ball on
Baylor’s 38. Pitner and Nesrsta
carried it to the 5 yard line where
Morrow took it over on a per-
fectly executed play. Another Ag-
gie touchdown on a pass followed
by a lateral was brought back in
the fourth quarter when an of-
ficial blew his whistle too soon.
