(Continued from Page 1.)
the greatest exhibition of punting ever
seen on a Texas gridion. It was this
same Collins, called yellow by the
Longhorn supporters, who crashed
through the supposedly invincible
Texas line for the only touchdown of
the game. The game played by him
Friday was a tribute to his nerve and
ability. He fought hard and he fought
well, and it was due to his superior
punting that the ball was kept largely
in Texas territory.
Fannie Coleman has always had the
reputation of being the best drop kick
er in the state. Friday he lived up to
his reputation by kicking two of the
prettiest dropkicks ever seen on a
Texas gridiron. His first boot was
from the 45 yard line and it sailed
squarely between the goal posts These
were the first points made by A. & M.
against Varsity since 1910 and they
put the real fight into the Aggie
eleven.
Captain Garrity was the very life
of his team* He would analyze the
plays and break them up before the
fast Varsity .backs could get started.
Johnnie played the entire game with
a sprained ankle and two broken ribs.
He would go down u <der the punts
and would seldom fail to down the
man in his tracks.
On the right end was big Jim Kend
ricks. His tackling was wonderful.
He smashed interference when it came
his way and no long end runs were
successful that had to pass him. He
often threw the Varsity backs for los
ses for if he ever got his tenacious
grip on a Longhorn he never let go.
Our two tackles Crow and Settegast
were towers of strength to the Farm
er’s line. No gains were made through
either of them and when it was neces
sary they would open great holes in
the Varsity line.
It was due to the fierce tackling of
Nick Braumiller that so many fumbles
were made by the Longhorns. Nick
was a real star and should not be over
looked in singing the praises of the
Aggie team. It was this big Dutchman
who recovered one of Varsity’s fumb-
es and raced 35 yards to the Longhorns
10 yard line before being downed. It
was this same player who helped
open the hole in Varsity’s line and
permitted Collins to go through for
the only touchdown of the game.
Rogers and Eschenburg formed a
combination in the line that was al
most impossible to penetrate. They
would often break through the line
and throw the runners for a loss.
Burns played his best game of the
season. Too much credit cannot be
given him for the way he ran the
team throughout the game. He was
sure in receiving punts and always
made a good return. On the defense,
he tackled hard and low and no man
was able to pass him.
Rollins started the game but was in
jured and had to be removed. While
in the game, he payed sensational ball
and if he had not been injured a larger
score might have been made.
Gilfillian played great ball while he
was in the game. He repeatedly broke
up passes and downed men a loss, but
his crippled ankle forced him out of
the game.
Mitchell took Gilfillans place at
halfback in the first quarter. Al
though it was his first football game,
except for a few minutes in the Rice
game. Mitch showed himself to be a
cool headed player, and he played like
a vetran throughout the game. Break
ing up end runs and forward passes
were his specialties.
For once the Longhorns were unable
to gain on end runs. Their famous
Minnesota shift was a good ground
gainer at first but at the last the Far
mers would break up the plays before
they could get started. Their famous
aerial attack also failed for the Farm
ers had been coached to break up
such plays. The Longhorns played
hard but their offensive open attacks
was not equal to the brilliant defen
sive playing displayed by the farmers.
During the game the Longhorns
made nine first downs and the aggies
made four. The farmers relied on
their defensive work and the toe of
Collins more than their offensive.
Littlefield was forced to hurry his
passes which made them inaccurate
and only three out of twenty three
were successful.
The entire state team played good
ball with Duncan, Littlefield, Dittmar
and Goodman starring. P. Simmons,
the main ground gainer, was unable to
do anything with the Farmer’s line. He
attempted one of his famous dives but
was caught in the act and for the re
mainder of the game he kept his feet
on the ground.
The Longhorns were inside the
Farmer’s 20 yard line once. It was in
the last quarter when Kelso ran back
a punt; although they were in striking
distance they could not furnish the
punch and the ball went over, Collins
punted and the game ended with the
ball in mid-field in the aggies possess
ion.. The Farmers had won a victory
which was the greatest in the South
west and it was through the hard con-
sistant work of the best coaching staff
in the South, Harlan, Graves and
Driver, and the unconquerably fight
ing spirit of the team led by Johnnie
Garrity.
FIRST PERIOD.
Burns kicked off for A. & M. to Tur
ner on the Texas’ 15-yard line. Tur
ner returned 15 yards; Walker hit
tackle for eight yards and repeated
with a gain of one. The first fumble,
the forerunner of those which spelt
defeat for the Longhorns, came when
Littlefield attempted to circle his right
end and fumbled, the alert Captain
Garrity recovering for A. & M. on the
Tevas 35-yard line.
Rollins failed around right end;
Coleman brushed tackle for two yards;
Birge broke through and threw Rollins
for a loss of four yards. Coleman
dropped back to the 45 line and at
tempted a drop kick, which fell short.
On the first play Garrity spilled
Williams, but Walker bucked for six
yards in two downs and Turner bored

his way for eight yards and first down
on the Texas 36-yard line. Walker
bucked for one yard and the ball went
o'er when Littlefield fumbled, Cole
man recovering.
Rollins wiggled three yards in two
downs and then attempted a forward
pass to Kendrick, failing. Coleman
started the A. & M. victory on the next
play when he dropped a perfect goal
over the bar from the 43-yard line.
Score—A. & M. 3, Texas 0.
Collins kicked off to Williams on
the Texas 17-yard line. Williams re
turned 13 yards. Time out for Rollins,
who was replaced by Gilfillian. With
perfect interference Littlefield circled
