were not the only ones to take
a sound beating Thanksgiving aft-
ernoon. Ticket scalpers were
themselves scalped, and thorough-
ly. Bleacher seats could be bought
for a quarter shortly after the
start of the game and many of
the wise boys who had bought
seats for scalping were left with
the ducats in their dripping hands.
How to break up the scalping prac-
tice has the athletic authorities
worried, but maybe old Jupiter
Pluvius will slow the scalpers down
for a while.

he will be ready when the Aggies
play in the bowl game. His leg was
not injured, but cramped on him
twice in the game.
Now comes the comparison of
this year’s undefeated Aggie team
with the championship Aggie team
of 1937, with last: fall's T. C. .U.
team, and with other great grid
aggregations. There’s enough fod-
der there to feed the football fans
well thru the winter and into next
fall.
The Aggies this year are large-
ly a junior team, and will have a
real chance to repeat their cham-
pionship performance next fall.
This column doubts if that feat
can be done. It never has been
done in the history of the league.
Both Texas University and S. M.
U., even at this date, look like
better bets for the title next fall.
The Aggies must play both of them
in their own back yards, and
EVERY Aggie title since the or-
ganization of the conference, has
been won on ODD years, when
Mustangs and Longhorns played
at Kyle Field.
The Cadets will meet UCLA,
University of California at Los
Angeles, in Los Angeles, on Octo-
ber 12 next fall. Negotiations are
also under way for additional big
games and next fall’s schedule may
become the most ambitious ever es-
sayed by the Aggies.

missed next year.
That leaves a still great aggre-
gation to go to war next fall with
some additional help to come from
this fall’s freshman team and from
the reserve squad.
Most common question among
football fans is what made the
Cadets click this fall, as compared
to last fall. There are many an-
swers, and probably each of them
had a part in the transformtaion.
An added year’s experience doubt-
less played a part, and Lady Luck
must be given a hand. A team has
to be lucky, as well as in fine
physical condition, to go thru an
enitre tough season with as few
injuries as the Aggies suffered this
fall.
In the opinion of this column
the real “Difference” has been in
the spirit and determination of
the boys and in the wise decision
of Norton and his staff to simplify
the Aggie attack. The
both literally and figuratively,
came down to earth.
Head coach Norton was able,
health, to discard his “Sky-Buggy,”
and he also changed from sitting
in the press-box during games to
the players bench. Those changes
made a tremendous difference in
the spirit and attitude of the play-
ers.
To make matters even better,
there were fewer plays and forma-
tions, less complicated and fewer
defensive set-ups. The Aggie
players this fall really ENJOYED
both practice and games, and when
a man enjoys his work he’s apt
to be pretty effective.

the driller must control accurately the course of
the drill pipe to reach the producing sands. Lane-

record of a well from top to bottom, and if made
during drilling tell the location of the bit at all
times to help the driller do a better job. The com-

being played in almost impossible

5-2, and the Texas Freshmen 2-0.

like baseball than football results.

fans talking after the Texas Year-

passer from Beaumont. He looks
like a great passing prospect.

giving game. Due to a burst pipe
no hot water was available for the
Steers at the close of the game

more embarrassed over the mat-

but after all, a pipe could not
know its failure might affect a
football game a year hence.
