lished oh acount of the unfinished
bouts in the 135, 145, 158, 175 and un
limited classes. Names of winners
and runners-up will be published next
week. Because a man loses one week,
however, he need not be discouraged,
as competitions for the squad and
training table will be held every week
till the picking of the team for the
Oklahoma meet. Two more novice
meets will be held, one this month and
one in February. The winner of two
meets gets a medal. Everyone is
therefore encouraged to start train
ing for the next novice meet, whether
he has hitherto been training or not.
THE GRAPPLERS
HOLD FIRST
NOVICE MEET
Much Skill Displayed in First Novice
Meet for Wrestlers—More
Heavies Needed.
The first novice wrestling meet was
held in the Airdome last Tuesday. In
spite of the small number of entries
in the two heavyweight classes, an
interesting bout was matched between
the representatives of the 175 pound
and unlimited weights. No members
of last years team were eligible for
competition. The showing in lighter
weights was more encouraging. In
the 125 pound class there were eight
entries, and every bout was hotly
contested. The middleweight bout be
tween Brinkman and Leiper was hard
fought throughout, and many good
exhibitions of body holds and side rolls
were shown. In the heavyweight class
Davidson and O’Neil wrestled to a
standstill, Davidson finally wearing
O’Neil down by superior weight. As
no other entries were made in the
heavy and light heavyweight class,
O’Neil is winner in the 175 pound class
and Davidson in the unlimited class.
Merchant hurt his shoulder in the 135
pound match and had to forfeit to
Ashworth, after starting what prom
ised to be a fast and tight bout.
In the 125 pound class C. M. Gra
ham and Coale put up one of the

MONS FIVE UNDER A 32 TO

fastest exhibitions
Eachr man almost had his opponent’s
shoulders on the mat on several oc
casions, but the under man by sheer
persistence managed to pull out.
Coale finally won by fall after five
minutes of continuous wrestling. The
125 match between I. A. Stevens and
J. K. Stephens was also hotly con
tested, Stevens winning by fall after
3 and one-half minutes. The runner-
up and winner in this jweight will
wrestle off the final Thursday night.
In the 115 pound class Clark won from
Martin on decision. In the Harpole-
Faure match, Faure showed some
clever ability in the side roll and head-
spin but could not overcome the early
advantage of Harpole on going to the
mat. Harpole won by fall after five
minutes of wrestling.
Following is the list of winners of
first novice meet: 115 lb, Clark; 125
lb., Harpole, Stevens, Coale, Davis;
135 lb., Ashworth, Matthes; 145 lb.,
Harrington, Houston; 158 lb., Brink-
man, Fraser; 175 lb., O’Neil; unlimit
ed, Davidson.
The result of the trials for the
squad last week have not been pub-
The Aggies played their first game
since the holidays and minus the ser
vices of Hartung, bested the Sim
mons five by the score of 32 to 20.
The game was not what could be
classed as a good exhibition of bas
ket ball. The Aggies were decidely
the superior team during the first
period, their passing was good and
the way they made good their tries
at the basket was good to look at.
The period ended with the score
standing 21 to 5 in favor of the Ag
gies, this alone will show that the
Aggies were playing a good game.
The second period saw almost a re
version of form, favor of Simmons.
It seemed that the Aggies could not
find the basket while Simmons was
ringing them from good distances.
The Farmers were good in bringing-
seen this year.*! the ball^down the court but to no
‘ avail wnen their throws failed to
make the basket. During'the sec
ond period A. and M. made 11 points
to Simmons 15.
3RD BATTALION 21-CAVALRY 0.
The 3rd Battalion started the
company series off in great fashion
by defeating the Cavalry lineup 21-
0 last Thursday on Varsity field. The
3rd presented a fighting machine
that’s going to be hard to beat. They
had the Cavalry on their hips as it
were throughout the game and only
once did the cowboys threaten their
goal. This happened when they got
on the 3rd’s four yard line and tried
a forward pass that almost stuck.
The game started by the 3rd re
ceiving the kick-off. Then came a
series of line plunges but the Infan
try was forced to kick. The Cav
alry was unable to make gains and
kicked. Frazier was substituted in
Prewitts place at right half and car
ried the ball over for the first touch
down. Hannan kicked goal. Dur
ing the remainder of the game Buck-

ner and Frazier each made a touch
down and Hannan kicked both goals.
Thomas showed great skill as a
quarterback by the smooth manner
in which he got his plays off and the
skill he used in selecting the right
one. Frazier showed up well and
made a race track around the ends.
Buckner, Adams and Prewitt fur
nished the punch for successive
gains. That boy Buck sure slings a
wicked head when he meets the line.
The team’s greatest asset is that, im
pregnable line that held the spur
boys for the down nearly every time.
It is a hard matter to pick out any
individual stars because every man
is in there fighting ,and doing his
best to bring the 3rd Battalion out
on top at the end of the company
season.
Johnson and Woods starred for
the Cavalry but they lacked the sup
port that it takes to make a winning
team.

CAVALRY AND SIGNAL CORPS
STAGE SCORELESS TIE.
The Signal Corps, burdened with
that old time enemy, overconfidence,
were held to a scoreless tie by the
plucky Cavalrymen Sunday on Kyle
Field. Their only chance to score
was lost when Vinther failed to con
nect up with Walkers pass on the
goal line. From the spectators view
the game was a listless affair, per
fectly free from spectacular runs or
plays, and Vinther’s two attempts to
drop kick were the only exhibition
of finer points. The game was hard
fought and very few first downs
made on either side. Walker was
the outstanding star for the Signal
Corps, while Vinther, Kimbrough,
Long and Williams come in for their
share of the glory. For the Caval
rymen, Wbmach and Aubin played
a good game, but Johnson was the
individual star of the game, and his
constant drives in the first half were
a source of worry to the Flag Wav
ers.

CHAMPS OF LAST YEAR DEFEAT
1ST BATTALION, 14-0.
After holding the speedy Gold-
Brickei's to a 0-0 tie for the first half,
the Infantrymen were decisively de
feated Sunday on the Varsity grid
iron. The contest, in the early
stages, resembled a punting duel
more than a football game with Far-
gason and McMillan having the ad
vantage over Hardy and Cooke. Tire
Casuals received and after an e/x-
change of punts put the ball in play
on their own thirty yard line. Mc
Millan found a hole for twelve yards
and first down and Rollins made ten
around end. A forward pass was
incompleted and then Fargason sift
ed through eluding the secondary de
fense only to be downed by I the
safety man on the twenty-five yard
line. Three line plays netted only
five yards and McMillan’s place-kick
went wild, and Hardy kicked out of
danger. The remainder of the half
was played in mid-field, the Casuals
making first downs at will only to lose
on fumbled punts and untimely pen
alties.
The second period opened with the
1st Battalion receiving McMillan’s
kick. After a series of exchanges of
punts, the Infantrymen recovered a
fumble on the Civilians forty yard
line. White connected up with
Hardy’s fifteen yard pass, a line
plunge and another pass to White
gave the Doughboys first down on
the Casuals 15 yard line. Hardy's
place kick missed the uprights by a
foot. Hardy fumbled McMillan’s
pass and Bailey recovered. Jarrell
made six yards through tackle, and
Simpson circled end for a forty yard
gain. McMillan goes ten yards and
first down. Jarrell crashed through
for the remainifig six yards. Mc
Millan kicked goal. McMillan kick
ed off to Dickson who returned five.
Hai'dy punted to MicMillan who re
turned the ball to the 35 yard line.
Rollins makes twenty yards on three
plunges and Fargoson makes twenty
more on a split formation. Simpson
makes the remaining yard on a tackle
play, and McMillan kicks goal. The
remainder of the game was played
in the Infantrymen’s territory.
Winn for the Infantry and Ram
sey for the Casuals starred in the
line while McMillan, Hardy, Rollins,
Fargason, Simpson and Jarrell play
ed the stellar backfield roles.

TRACK MEN OUT.
With the approach of track season
interest and enthusiasm looms to
large proportions. Many new men
have already made known their de
sires to don the red and white and
fight for a place on the cinders. Coach
Rothgeb is getting a line on the men
and starting some of them to train
ing this week. He hopes by the first
of February to have the entire squad
out. At a meeting of the field men
Monday evening, the Coach explain
ed and outlined briefly his plans for
the season. From the crowd out,
it appears that competition will be
keen, and the Coach will have some
good material to, work with.
Agreat deal of improvement is
being made on the track and in the
field equipment this year. One
hundred loads of cinders are being
added to the track, and various re
pairs have been made for the field
events. Captain Weir states that
everything will be made as conven
ient and comfortable as possible this
year.
Most of last year’s team are back
and they are expecting to put old A.
and M. on the headlines this year.
They can not do it without your sup
port, so all of you that are interested
in track work come out. If you
know of anyone, get him out. There
are many who have wonderful possi
bilities, but have not enough confi
dence to try. The training is great,
so come out and see what you can
do.
