WELL DONE
On behalf of A. & M. men and
friends of the College, the AGGIE
extends congratulations to that
fine A. & M. football team and its

ed for the season and certain to

self, its coaches and its institu-
tion with glory. All Texas is
proud of the Aggies and the eyes
of the Nation are upon them and
upon Texas A. & M.
The season has been a personal
triumph and vindication of Head
Coach Homer Norton and every
member of the coaching staff.
To both coaches and players, to
reserves and scrubs as well as to
regulars, to freshmen and to the
seniors, to the business office and
to the plant maintenance force, to
every member of the Athletic
staff and to every player, the AG-
GIE says, “Well Done!”
