In arranging the football schedule
for the Texas Aggies for 1923, James
Sullivan, Business Manager of Ath
letics feels that the students, alumni
and the general public at large will
welcome the arrangement of games.
Out of the nine games to be played by
the Aggies this fall five of them will
be played at Kyle Field, College Sta
tion, Texas, one in Dallas, one in Wa
co, one in Houston and the fourth
road game at Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
filling the second year of a two-year
contract with the Louisiana Tigers.
The Aggies’ season opens early
with a game with the Sam Houston
Normal Institute of Huntsville, the
newly elected member of the Texas
Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
This .game is played September 22.
One week later Howard Payne Col
lege journeys to Kyle Field for their
annual game. Last season the Brown-
wood team gave the Aggies their first
of four drubbings received last sea
son and this game will be awaited
with much interest. This team is
coached by Arnold Kirkpatrick, an
old Texas University star, and who
has made a wonderful record with
the Brownwood team. The following
week, October 5, will find Southwes
tern University playing their first
game of a three year contract at Kyle
Field. This has always been a game
of much interest and should prove
a real test for Bible’s eleven before
they enter into the real big games of
the season.
On Saturday, October 13, the Ag- ’
gies meet for the first time in many
years the Sewanee Tigers. This
game marks the beginning of a three
year contract between the two teams.
The game will be played in Dallas
on the opening day of the State Fair
and will attract thousands of former
students of both institutions. It is
planned to make this day at the Fair
“A & M.-Sewanee Day” and the old
grads will anxiously await this game
in order to get a line on their res-

FOOTBALL IS ALREADY IN THE AIR
Aggie Aspirants Will Assemble at Kyle Field on September 10th.
Coaches Report September 1st. Outlook is Good.
We are come upon the season when the thoughts of the male of the
species, young and old, turn to the dull thud of a certain inflated oval, some
times commonly and vulgarly called a football. Already the camps of Texas,
Baylor, and Rice are pouring out predictions for the year to come. The foot
ball season is something to conjure with and every institution has its well
qualified forecasters who can tell you in advance of the season what different
favorite athletes will do or will fail to do. Already Southwestern Conference
honors are being awarded to some men of football promise while their insti
tutions satisfy themselves with recounting the glories of past seasons.
It is just about time for things to start. On September 1 Bible will do
the Arab stunt from Jefferson City, which nestles quietly on the banks of the
well known Mossy Creek in Eastern Tennessee, and bob up smiling at College
Station, the torrid. House will come in from Colorado, the cool. Anderson will
descend from Sparta, Tenn., and Johnnie Pierce, infant member of the coach
ing corral, will hustle in from the Mound City of Missouri.
On September 10, Aggieland will be overrun with a herd of young buf
faloes constituting the squad for the term of 1923. Already they are rattling
their horns in different Texas towns and villages in preparation for the com
ing season. The football fever is being disseminated widely and in another
three weeks the football fan will come into his own. Gradually King Swat will
be pushed back off of the boards and the Great College Sport will come into its
own.
Work in football fundamentals will be the order of the day. And oh!
that long period of dreary, deadly workouts in those first hot September
days! A good gallery will be present at Kyle Field, though, and that makes
for good morale on the part of the tryouts. D. X. will not have to spend a
great deal of time with fundamentals this season. The spring training sea
son work this year will materially reduce the necessary preliminary instruc
tion. So much so that Bible hopes to be well along with plays and plans of
attack and defense within a very few days after the season opens.
The Aggies will have a pretty good machine to start with. Dubois and
Eitt at center; Johnson, Forgason, “Spot” Hanna at guards; Dansby, R. O.
Wilson, Leuty, Short, Waugh, Brazleton, Irvin, are among the outstanding
tackles; “Puny” Wilson, W. W. Wilson, Jack Evans, Quinn, at ends; Knicker
bocker, Berry, Pinson, Putnam, are quarters; while in the backfield are Cap
tain Miller, Fay, Wlilson, Neely, Poth, Gill, Kishi and a dozen others of good
promise. Bible is going to have speed with which to work this season, a fac
tor utterly lacking in last year’s eleven.

JOHNNIE PIERCE
TO ASSIST BIBLE
WITH AGGIE LINE
HARD LUCK CENTER OF 1921
IS SIGNED FOR COACHING JOB
BY ATHLETIC COUNCIL.
JOHNNIE PIERCE,
Who Will Help D. X. With the Line
This Season.
Johnnie Pierce, hard luck center of
the 1921 football team, captain of the
defense on that team, and one of the
“smartest” football players ever to
wear a Texas Aggie uniform, will
assist Coach D. X. Bible and Assistant
Coach House in whipping the 1923 Ag
gies into condition. Pierce will work
with the line.
Since his graduation from the school
of electrical engineering, Johnnie has
been with the Southwestern Bell Tele
phone Co., at St. Louis, Mo. While he
has gotten along splendidly in that
work his desire has been to engage in
athletic work. Last year and the pre
ceding season he spent much of his
leisure time in helping out in ath
letic work at leading St. Louis edu
cational institutions. He has gained
some very valuable experience during
those two years.
Bible has been very anxious to get
someone to help with the team who
knew local conditions and knew his
system. He regards Pierce as one of
the best coaching prospects ever turn
ed out by the college and in view of
Johnnie’s vital interest in athletic
work believes that he will make a
splendid go of the job. Pierce will
have charge of the line coaching un
der D. X.’s supervision of course.
In the fall term, Coach House, who
is associate professor of physical
training, will have his hands pretty
well occupied with physical examina
tion of Freshmen and remedial meas
ures for the correction of their phys
ical deficiencies. He will continue to
