FINE WORK CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVE
STARS BRINGS RESULTS BUT AID
STILL REQUIRED FROM SQUADMEN
Around one hundred new mem-
bers of the Association have been
added thru the efforts of a small
group who have taken part in the
current “Championship Drive”, in-
augurated last month. “All-Amer-
ican” and “All-Conference” per-
formers have increased in number,
but failure of sufficient members
of the “Squad” to become “Reg-
ulars” is endangering the entire
campaign. Every member of the
Association at the present time is
considered as a member of the
“Squad”.
The securing of one new mem-
ber entitles a squad-man to be-
come a “Regular’—two new mem-
bers make him “All-Conference”
and four new members brings him
“All-American” honors. To date a
nice number of men have won rec-
ognition in the higher ranks; but
not enough Association members
have become “Regulars”. One thou-
sand present members of the Asso-
ciation, could without any great
difficulty become  ‘Regulars”,
making the A. & M. Ex-Student
organization the leader in its field
in the Southwest, if not in the en-
tire United States.
Inaugurated under the leadership
of President C. A. Thanheiser the
CHAMPIONSHIP CAMPAIGN
will run thru the month of Nov-
ember. Goal of the campaign is to
make the A. & M. Ex-Student’s
Association the undisputed cham-
pion in the Southwest, among or-
ganizations of its kind. The coop-
eration and aid of every member
will be necessary if this goal is to
be reached.

WICHITA GAME
VISITORS FIND
WARM WELCOME
Room 606, big as it was, had
difficulty in holding the many A.
& M. men who used it as their
headquarters before and after the
Hardin-Simmons-Texas Aggie
football game at Wichita Falls on
October 3. With the Aggie team
and this headquarters located in
the Kemp Hotel, that building was
the central point around which
the A. & M. men of that section
of the state rallied for the first
appearance of an Aggie grid team
in Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls
A. & M. Club acted as hosts for
the day, and entertained royally.
With informality the predomi-
nant note scores of A. & M. men
visited each other at the head-
quarters room during the day and
following the game. They were
present from Amarillo, from Abi-
lene, from up in Oklahoma, from
Dallas, from Houston, and from
villages, ranches, “farms and wild: |
cat oil wells scattered over that
entire section of the State.
In charge of arrangements for
the Wichita Falls Club, and act-
ing as hosts for the “Open House”
along with Wichita President John
Britton, ’17, were Ralph Birk, ’13,
Grover C. McGowan, ’14, and
Wilson Reedy, ’25. They were voted
by their visitors to be “Perfect”.
The Aggie team was welcomed up-
on its rival in Wichita Falls on the
day before the game by a large
delegation of Wichita Aggies.

you you can’t win on passes when
they can bottle up your ground
game that completely. In spite of
the fact the Aggies often went
into a five man line for pass de-
fense, the Frogs could not go on
running plays. They failed to make
a single first down on the ground.
The entire Aggie line was superb
and a great compliment to coach,
Bill James.*
Ed Stages, Johnie Morrow and
Rankin Britt at the ends, John
Whitfield and Roy Young, tackles,
Joe Routt, Walt Phythian and Vir-
gil Jones, guards, Charley DeWare
and Zed Coston, centers, together
with Church, Seago, Bransom, Kir-
by, Faubion and Drennan, made the
Aggie line for the day a stone-wall.
It was more than that, stopping
cold the Frog running attack, and
then dropping back to intercept
Frog passes, or to cover Frog re-
ceivers. “Brahma” Jones, guard got
the Aggies out of a bad hole in the
final quarter when he leaped high
to intercept a pass on his own 18,
and pave the way for Tedd’s final
touchdown splurge that put the
game on ice. Joe Routt and Roy
Young, guard and tackle, lead in
rushing Baugh and were instru-
mental in breaking up the Frog
air attack during the final half
of the game.
Dick Todd was the leading back
on the field, but there were other
stars aplenty. Sam Baugh, of
course, was the whole show for
the Frogs, although the fierce
pounding of the Aggie line slowed
him up badly. The sharp-shooting
passes of Jimmy Shockey of the
Aggies were just as damaging as
those of Baugh. “Chink” Manning,
fielding punts and fumbles like
a baseball infielder, was almost as
troublesome to the enemy as was
Todd. Vitek handled the ball on
the laterals smoothly, accurately
and cleverly, and called a smart
game as quarter-back. Les Cum-

Great Aggie Line Stops T.C.U.
Offense And Opens Holes For
Todd And Mates To Run Wild
By virtue cof their victory
over T. C. U. and a previous
victory over Rice, the Aggies
occupy the top rung in this
Fall’s Conference race. Unde-
feated to-date they will meet
another crucial test against
Baylor at Waco.
The day before the game Dick
Todd felt that he was “Due to go
to town”, and his hunch was 100
per cent correct. Before the fans
had much more than settled back
in their seats the Crowell ghost
galloped 48 yards to the Frog 18
yard line, then the remaining 18
yards to tally. Late in the game he
turned in the afternoon’s greatest
individual feat with a 76 yard run
to the Frog 6 yard line, and a play
or two later swept wide around
end for the final tally. Todd dem-
onstrated to any of the doubters
that he was as good as advance
records indicated.
WILD FIRST QUARTER
That first quarter was one of the
wildest 15 minutes of football ever
seen on Kyle Field. T.C.U. won the
3 : Se hc and the Aggies kicked. The
Frogs could not gain and Baugh
punted to Todd who returned 8 to
his own 26. Todd swept the Frog ;
left end for 11 yards, and then
came one of the nicest plays of the
afternoon. Vitek, who called a
smart game at Quarter-back and
who handled the ball so cleanly on
the laterals to Todd, drove inside
the Frog tackle for one yard. Just
as he was tackled he lateralled to
Todd who ran 48 yards to the Frog
14 yard line. A devastating stiff-
arm was used by Todd to smash
down two tacklers on his long run.
After two plays lost 4 yards, quar-
terback Vitek reached into his bag
of tricks and brought out that
same daring lateral-pass play. It
was Vitek to Todd again and Dick
scampered over for the game's
first tally. Johnie Morrow, who
played another grand game, failed
to convert.
Sammie Baugh and his Frogs
came right back, their aerial bom-
bardment clicking with uncanny
precision to carry the ball from
their 30 to a touchdown. In spite
of a fiercely rushing Aggie line
that twice dropped him for long
losses the drive was not stopped,
a final pass followed by a lateral,
Baugh to Roach to Roberts, bring-
ing the tally. Roach kicked goal and
the Frogs lead, 7 to 6.
Early in the second quarter Ed
Stages got off a great punt that
figured materially in the second
Aggie touchdown. With the wind
at his back he kicked 56 yards, out
of bounds on the Frog 15. “Chink”
Manning, who had replaced Dick
Todd, returned Baugh’s return kick
from his own 45 to the Frog 45.
The “Chink” made a daring shoe-
string catch of the punt.
Shockey passed to Vitek for 6,
then to Manning for a first down
on the 31. The next play caught
the Frog defense flat-footed.
Shockey, given perfect protection
by his blockers, faded back and
shot a long pass into the eager
fingers of Johnie Morrow who trot-
ted over unmolested from the 10
yard line. This time Boyd, sent
into the game for the kick, missed
goal and the count stood 12 to 7.
Thru-out this second quarter the
Aggies had the Frogs backed deep
into their own territory and but
for some tough breaks would have
scored another touchdown or two.
The final Aggie tally came in
the fourth quarter, on Todd’s long
run and short dash around end to
cellent account of himself.
