THE BATTALION
7
SIDELIGHTS ON THE GAME.
A line that was drunk with fight! There is the whole story of that
Sewanee game in a nutshell. D. X. must have poured in on them before they
took the field for they were the out-fightingest bunch that ever played at Fair
Park. When those Purple backs would hit the center of the line, little “Crack”
would be at the bottom, “Bull” about halfway up and Jim Forgason would
have hold of the man’s head and shoulders to keep him from falling forward.
Once the whole left side of the line sifted through on the passer and “Dick,”
“Puny” and “Bull” hit him at the same time.

The tackling of the Sewanee team was excellent. Several times Neely or
Fay would get loose from the line and have the secondary defense fairly well
scattered but every time they were cut down by a long tackle.
Sewanee either didn’t know their signals or they were afraid that we
did. After the first quarter they would go back and hold a conference behind
closed doors before they would run a play. That was one reason they had
sueh a hard time gaining; a little time out will do wonders toward helping a
defense.
Sewanee man sitting next to me said that “their field is carved out of a
mountain top and is nearly solid rock.” He claimed that their men were seldom
laid out of a game because they were accustomed to falling on this porphyritic
limestone or intruded granite or whatever it is that mountains are made of in
Tennessee. Just the same several of those boys came out of there looking
like they wished Tennessee had harder rocks to practic on.
There were about a dozen or so Sewanee men a row or so behind the press
box and when the Tigers came out on the field, these old grads got up and cut
loose with a yell that lasted about five minutes. It must have been a good
one (the corps was giving “Farmers Fight” at the time and we couldn’t hear
the Sewanee yell) for they were red in the face when they got through.
AGGIES SWAMP SEWANEE.

drive on Sewanee’s 45 yard line.
This time, however, the Tiger line
held in pinches and Bill Pinson, who
had replaced Knick, was forced to
pass. Pie did the passing himself,
and got off a beauty to Gill who side
stepped 35 yards for a touch down
only to be called back for off-side.
During the fourth quarter the Ag
gies drives were beginning to tell on
the Sewanee forwards and frequent
substitutions were necessary. The
Aggies took the ball from their own
30 yard line to the shadow of their
opponant’s goal but they chose to
try for a score by the touch-down
method. A pass to Neely fell short
of making the necessary first down,
and the Tigers kicked out of danger.

Say Bo! Didja ever want to go to
That football game so badly that
The very rocks seemed to cry
Out, “It’s In Dallas?” Everybody
Is making ready to take off, and
Here you are with the old Proboscis
To the Whetstone because of all that
Work; Past, Present, and Future.
A thousand Demons (including your
“Ole Lady”) bid you go, and only
That Wee Small Voice, heard faintly
Thru the static, cautions you to
Stay. A hundred times you decide
To go, and as often you veto the
Decision. The mind becomes warm
From much changing, and the smell
Of that neighbor’s suitcase haunts
You, but you decide to make the
Supreme sacrifice and stand by the
Guns. You sell the old ticket to
The game with a sinking heart, and
Gladly lend those best breeches to
The guy next door. Yell practice
Comes and you feel like the “Man
Without a Country”. You picture the
Old Team fighting there without
Your help, and you feel like a
Slacker. But y'ou go back to the
Room with plumbic tread, and insert
The old beak between the pages of
That C. E. book. The bean fails to
Function, and Portal Frames
Look like goal posts.—WHAM!—
Reason abdicates. You kick that
Six Dollar Folio across the room
And dash out in quest of Rainment
To the time honored tune, “The
Ravens Will Provide.”
SAY BO! DIDJA?
“The Cheat” is acknowledged by
critics to be the finest original screen
story ever written. Imagine such a
gem in the hands of such an artist!—
