Interviewing Aggie players af-
ter their game with Santa Clara
brings several interesting points
to light. The Aggies agree that the
Broncos were the hardest blocking
team they ever encountered, and
the movies bear them out. When
the Broncs blocked, they really
blocked and it was nothing uncom-
mon to see an Aggie player change
ends completely. The Broncs were
SMART as well, and perhaps those
two characteristics account for
their position as one of the three
best teams in the United States.
Despite the fierceness of the
play, the Aggies report the
Santa Clara men as being
among the cleanest they have
ever engaged in several years.
In fact there was no compar-
ison along this line with the
Tulsa Tornado that turned into
a gentle breeze. Santa Clara
did not have a sharp passing
attack, nor good kicking, de-
pending mostly upon their de-
vastating power plays for
ground gaining. The pass de-
fense of the coast team was as
great as its line defense. The
Santa Clara team is largely a
senior team, but with ample
and fine undergraduate reserv-
es, and has been unbeaten dur-
ing the past two seasons and
so far this year. This record
includes a pair of triumphs
over L. S. U. at the Sugar Bowl
in New Orleans.
Jinx Tucker, Waco News-Tri-
bune Sports Editor, reports upon
his return that the Los Angeles
A. & M. Club has reserved a block
of seats for the Baylor-Loyola
game in Los Angeles, Nov. 11, and
will be on hand to encourage their
fellow Texans.
In the Tulsa game at Tyler three
of the Tulsa players were disquali-
fied during the game, but most
spectators missed the last offense
and its handling was a surprise
even to the players. One of the.
lads from Oklahoma slugged an
Aggie player in full view of the
official. With a pleasant smile the
official sauntered up and patted
the offender on the shoulder. “You
played a fine game, Son, but that
is all for you this afternoon”. And
the banished lad seemed equally as
pleased to be through for the day,
and trotted quietly off the field.
Back to the Santa Clara game,
the only complaint from the Aggies
and their coaches was over the of-
ficiating which they described as
putrid. At one time a fumble was
awarded Santa Clara AFTER one
official had patted tackle Joe Boyd
on the back signalling he had made
the recovery. When Boyd uncov-
ered the ball at the official’s signal
a Bronco grabbed it and was award-
ed possession. Also lax on off-side
calling were the officials.
Taking a look at the rest of the
conference finds S. M. U. taking an
upset loss against Marquette, and
Rice disappointing against Okla-
homa. But the Owl loss to L. S. U.
by a field goal in the closing minute
of play demonstrates that the Owls
are still plenty potent, and can no
more be counted out of the confer-
ence race than if they had won
these opening games. Baylor has
looked strong against all opposition
and won its opening conference
game against Arkansas at Fay-
etteville. Texas looks like the weak-
est team in the conference but is
certain to play a winning game or
two before the curtain comes down.
Its safe to bet that one of those
GOOD games will come against
the Aggies at Austin Thanksgiv-
ing.
This is being written the day be-
fore the Aggie-T. C. U. game and
that battle may determine the
championship. If the Frogs win
they will have added another con-
ference victory to their win over
Arkansas, and with a pair of
breathers against Tulsa and Mar-
quette left in their schedule they
will have a great opportunity to
complete the season undefeated.
If the Aggies win from T. C. U.
they still face Baylor, Arkansas,
S. M. U., Rice and Texas, all in a
row, and a tough row it will be.
Arkansas however, should be harm-
ed some by its schedule before the
Aggie game. The Hogs play Santa
Clar in Frisco the Saturday be-
fore coming to Kyle Field to meet
the home boys. And that’s a lot of
travelling. |
