At 12:30 on the night of Nov. 17,
the Animal Husbandry team of A. and
M. College of Texas left for Chicago,
111. There they will compete with
about twenty or more other renowned
agricultural colleges the world over
for the stock judging supremacy of the
world. If we should come out on top
this time we keep the Bronze Trophy
as permanent property already having
won it twice in the past.
It was a determined, sober group of
men who boarded the train for Chi
cago.' There were about two hun
dred animal husbandry men and well
wishers from other branches of Col
lege plus that never-absent pep-pro
ducer, the A. and M. College Band,
present. On account of the many in
terruptions lately the corps was not
called out.
The team will visit all the important
farms and agricultural colleges be
tween here and Chicago, for work
outs on the stock there. This is the
final preparation before th.? battle.
Bill Menzies, one of the men who
made the team was declared ineligible
at the eleventh hour b/ecause of a
ruling that was rendered since last
year in regard to years' absent from
College on account of )iVar. We are
sorry this has happened as Menzies
was one of our strongest men, but
rather it be seen now than have him
disqualified after a gooos showing at
Chicago. It would mean la lost team.
There was no other way 'about this
matter. Tom Lewis was n|xt in line
and took Bill’s place. !

FISH VICTORS
OVERSCRUBS
SCORE 13 TO 0
Game Was Fight From Start to Fin
ish—Close Playing and Few
Fumbles.

meda; H. C. Robinson, Bari
Snell, Lampassas, and T.
Valley Mills.
In a game that was a fight from
the start until the final whistle had
sounded the Fish came out the vic
tors 13 to 7 on Kyle Field Thursday
afternoon. There were few fum
bles considering the tackles that
were made. Every tackle was good
and showed that the Fish and Scrubs
were in the game to fight. The
Scrubs were the first to draw blood.
They made their touchdown about
the middle of the second quarter
when Riggs of the Scrubs gathered
in a fumble punt and ran thirty
yards for a touchdown. The Scrubs
kicked goal and the score was Scrubs
7 Fish 0. After this touchdown was
made on the Fish the Scrubs were
fighting to keep the lead but Mitch
ell of the Fish happened on the scene
and pulled one of the two sensation
al runs of the game. He received
a Scrub punt on his own thirty yard
lane and behind interference that
was quick to form carried the oval
the Scrubs goal line for a touch
down. Fish kicked the goal and the
score was Scrubs 7 Fish 7. .The
ball was kept in mid-field during the
third quarter neither side seemed to
have the advantage. It was in the
early moments of the fourth quarter
that the Fish put over the touchdown
that won the game. The Fish got
the ball on the Scrabs thirty yard
line after they had recovered a fum
ble. It was here that Johnson of
the Fish showed that he had the driv
ing power necessary in the pinches.
He was called on time after time un
til the touchdown was made. The
Fish failed to make the goal and the
score was Scrubs 7 Fish 13. Dur-

AGGIES DEFE AT HEAVY RICE
TEAM BY CLOSE SCORE 7 TOO
Field Was Slow and Muddy and Aggies Used Only Straight Foot
ball Tactics—No Serious Injuries Resulted.
In a game that was full of fight
from the first whistle until the end of
the g'ame the Rice Owls went down to
defeat before the formidable Aggie
machine by the score of 7 to 0. The
game was well played and but few
fumbles were made when the condi
tion of the field is taken into con
sideration. There was a cold north
wind blowing and the field was cover
ed with mud and water and in only a
few places was the field in anything
like playing condition. Spectators be
gan to assemble at the field long be
fore time for the game and the A. and
M. side was filled to capacity by the
time the team took the field. Rice ap
peared first and took the field at 3:01,
the Aggies followed 4 minutes later,
and anxious for the fray. The Owls
won the toss and chose to defend the
north goal with the wind to their
backs.
First Quarter.
Higginbotham kicked fifty yards to
Kennedy who returned five, on the
next two plays the Owls made it first
down and it looked as if the Aggie
line was going to have lots of trouble
in stopping the onslaughts of the Rice
backs. The Aggie defense strength
ened, however, and Rice was forced
to punt. The Agg’ies with the ball in
their possession tried the Owl line
once and then punted to Rice. It was
evident that the Farmers were going
to play a punting game. The Owls
elected to take their full number of
downs, however, before they would
punt and lost the ball this way more

BRYAN HIGH IS
VICTOR OVER
AUSTIN HIGH
Teams Were Evenly Matched and
Score Does Not Show Close
ness of Game.
In a game that was full of breaks
Bi’yan emerged the victor over Aus
tin by the score of 21 to 0. The
score in no means shows the close
ness of the game. Two of Bryans
touchdowns were made off of breaks
in the game these breaks were Bry
ans because she was following the
ball. Austin played a losing game
and was not able to deliver in the
pinches chiefly because of the faulty
work done by her quarterback.
Coach Spitz Clark substituted for
this position more than once trying
to settle the Austin club down to
consistent playing but his efforts
were met with little success. Austin
made several costly fumbles which
gave Bryan two of her touchdowns
and aided in losing the game. The
Austin team started the game in a
rush and had Bryan off her feet for
the first few minutes of play and had
she kept up the same punch thru-
out the game she would have at least
made a score. Bryan played a good
game of football and should be given
credit for playing the game as she
did. Bryan’s whole backfield starr
ed and her line was able to hold its
own with Austin. For Austin there
was one man who played a game that
would do ci’edit to a college player.
Putman the Austin center was this
man and the way he fought was
good to see. He was down on near
ly ever punt made and should have
the credit of holding his team to
gether.

than once during the game. The ball
was in mid field until Morris pulled
the sensation of the game by return
ing a Rice punt for 50 yards. This
put the oval on the Owl’s 15 yard line
and first down. But on the next play
A. and M. fumbled and Rice recovered.
The Owls made it first down, but failed
to make the second first down and de
cided to punt. Dieterich broke through
and blocked the punt and A. and M.
recovered on Rice’s 15 yard line. After
she had failed to make first down
through the Owl line A. and M. de
cided to try a place kick. This was
not successful, however, as the ball
went wild and to the side of the goal
post, but it was on this play that the
Aggies got the break that gave them
their big chance to score. An Owl
linesman was too anxious and the play
was called back and Rice penalized 5
yards for offside. This gave the ball
to the . Aggies on Rice’s 10 yard line
and first down. After two attempts
at the Owl line had netted the Farmers
2 yards Weir carried the ball through
right tackle for the only score of the
game. Higginbotham kicked goal.The
rest of this period was played in
Rice’s territory and with the Aggies
on the offensive.
