AGGIES TROUNCE TIGERS!
HERE’S WHERE THE AGGIES P ULLED OUT THE TIGER’S TAIL.
Aeroplane view of the Dixie Stadium and the A. and M.-Sewanee game. The picture was made between halves. Every reserved seat on the
side was sold. Rain and cold weather kept down the sales at the gate Saturday and that explains why the ends of the field are unpopulated.

Last Year the Aggies slumbered
With a team that was wholly new;
Now they’ve got the Mustangs numbered
As Grudge-Fight Number Two.
Although Dana Bible kept his
eleven well under cover throughout
the contest with the L. S. U. Tigers,
they were still strong enough to pile
up a 28 to 0 victory in a most im
pressive fashion. The Farmers did
not flash their full strength as they
were holding in for the S. M. U. game
Du Bois made the trio that were im
penetrable and that were flanked by
the fighting tackles—R. O. Wilson and
Dansby. Jack Evans and Puny Wil
son played their usual stellar game,
covering passes and punts like a car
pet. Puny Wilson looked particularly
good on the pass that Gill threw him

Baylor Bears, we thank you. Last
year we defeated the Longhorns for
you and gave you your clear title to
the championship. This year you
journeyed to Arkansas and downed
the Razorbacks when they had you
beaten on paper. We may not be
the ones to reap the benefit of your
victory—it may happen that you
were paving your own way to the
championship—but in behalf of the
Texas members of the Southwestern
Conference we thank you. It was a
splendid exhibition of fighting heart.

The Longhorns are beginning their
basketball practice for the coming
year rather early. They have a
chance to put out a great team this
| year in spite of their pessimistic re-
| ports. They have lost Peyton, Bar
ret, Swenson, and Schuhart but they
have regained Ponsford and they
have Settergast, Curtis, Ragland and
Robertson from last years team back
again. They also have a wonderful
possibility in Esquival of El Paso, a
freshman star of last year.

Found a slam at us in the S. M. U.
newspaper (the Campus I think the
name is) concerning the “line” of
the cadets when they visited the S.
M. U. girls up in Dallas. It says,
“The Aggies wealth of buildings and
their football prowess is said to have
formed a large part of their conver
sation.” That may be true but I
doubt it. Anybody that lived in
Pfeuffer or Austin or perhaps in the
Sheiks don’t boast of the buildings
and I have yet to hear of an Aggie
boast of his team. We love them and
admire them but we don’t boast of
them. Ask those girls what the Ag
gies said.
