pass. Massingail should have allowed
the pass to sail by him to an incom
plete forward pass, A. & M. having no
chance to catch it. Under the rufe
we would have been penalized. In
stead, Massingail zealously leaped up
and muffed the ball, and Whyte fell
on it for a touchdown. Ward kicked
a difficult goal.
Varsity took a new lease on -life in
the second 1 quarter. In this quarter
we give them credit for outplaying us,
and in the third quarter they had an
even break. It was during the second
quarter that Varsity made substantial
gains through our line. Brown, Moore
and Woolfe kept the ball moving
steadily dowm the field, varying for a
forward pass. Moore kicked across
for the down. Punt out was declared
a foul. Ward was hurt and taken out.
The score: A. & M. 9, Varsity 8.
The third quarter was an even break
for the two teams, the kicking being
the principal feature. The two elevens
sawed back and forth, receiving fre
quent penalties. University failed to
buck our line for substantial gains,
only working to the forty-five yard line
and kicking. We were in about the
same condition.
The greatest shock for the Yellow
and White rooters came in the fourth
quarter, when A. & M. broke their
line time and again. During the early
part of the quarter Varsity contested
every inch of the way, and still had a
good chance to change the score.
They went around the ends, they cov
ered their punts and they went
through our line. Everybody was on
his toes. Varsity might yet win! They
fought desperately, realizing That we
were one point ahead and their last
quarter for a score was slowly ticking
away. They were putting up all the
fight they had trying to cross our line
for one more score. They fought down
to the twenty-five yard line and had
four yards to make for first down.
Here was their brilliant chance for
a score. Twenty-five yards directly in
front of the goal posts gave a beauti
ful prospect for a place kick. Three
points, and Varsity might beat us.
Both teams were in nervous tension,
and awaited the snap of the ball. A.
& M. was invincible when the su
preme test came. Breaking through the
University line, our team blocked the
kick, and defeated Varsity’s score.
Varsity’s nerve was gone. After her
failure to make a goal she was pushed
and whipped about the field. She
could resist no longer. When Ward
made a long run after one of Kearns’
forward passes Varsity was all in. She
could not prevent another score. Here
Beasley bucked their line for one, two,
three-yard and longer gains. A. & M.
always made her distance. Beasley
made the touchdown. Goal was missed.
Score: A. & M. 14, Texas 8.
The time was almost up. The
teams struggled uselessly for four or
five minutes before the whistle blew.
Before the whistle had ceased to
sound over a thousand gray uniforms
and alumni decorated in red and white
; were dancing and shouting over Var-
, sity’s ruined hopes. Varsity had failed
to come back. A. & M.’s third con-
’ secutive victory had wrecked the Uni
versity’s chance at the Southwestern
championship and had given the Red
/and White the state championship.
This time did the followers of the
Yellow and White acknowledge defeat,
the first time for the season.
The world of football entl\psiasts
lift their hats to Carroll Ward, the
man who played on nerve. Barely
walking, his head tied up to hold a
split ear. Ward played a stellar game
at end that none of his opponents
could equal. He, in the first quarter,
perhaps, gave the A. & M. team, with
his arched kick for goal, that w r onder-
ful heart that remained with it to the
end of the last quarter. Cool-headed
and moving his weakened body about
to break interference and tackle his
man, he outstarred every man on both
teams.
Too much can not be said of Beas
ley. la the only quarter in which he
played, the last quarter, once in pos
session of the ball he never lost it.
He found Varsity’s weak spot and
hammered it for a touchdown. He
forced the ball from the center of the
field over the goal. On Varsty’s fifty-
two yard line Beasley went through
for five yards. Then he executed a
forward pass for fifteen yards. Hohn
then went through for five yards. After
this Beasley carried the ball the re
mainder of the distance. He cut
through Varsity for five, six and
twelve successive gains. Once more
he caught the ball and fell for three
yards. He had brought the ball to
Varsity’s five-yard line. The Univer
sity line was now like a seive. Once
more Beasley was given the ball, and
when the mass of players was dis
entangled Beasley had made a touch
down. Beasley had placed the score
beyond the reach of the Varsity
players.
