Doc Stewart saw the game here
week before last with John Tarle-
ton and made the following state
ment to the press: “The Aggies have
a better line than last year; especially
one side of it. The backfield is 50
per cent stronger and they have a
splendid quarterback this season.”
Amen, “Doleful Doc!” But you
haven’t quite got it right. The per
centage in the line is greater; we
have two splendid quarterbacks in
stead of one; and you failed to men
tion the rest of the backfield.

The efforts of Coach Rothgeb can
be plainly seen in the line. From the
showing they made in the last game,
it looks as if he is going to duplicate
his performance of 1921; the year the
Aggies were Champions of the South.

AGGIE RESERVES
DEFEAT MARLIN HI
BULLDOGS, 7 TO 6
The A. and M. Reserves opened
their 1924 season by defeating the
Marlin High School Bulldogs last Fri
day at Marlin, by the close score of 7
to 6. The Farmers’ touchdown came
in the fourth quarter after the Ag
gies had made two end runs which
netted them 25 yards. Franklin then
crashed across the line and Edgar
kicked goal.
The Bulldogs made their touchdown
in the last six minutes of play when
Burr Russell ran eighty yards for a
touchdown.
Webb Townsend, product of last
year’s Inter-Batalion League was the
outstanding star of the game while
Pyland and Curry did brilliant work
in the line. Edgar played a consistent
game at fullback for the Reserves,
getting his punts off nicely.
The lineup for the Reserves was as
follows
Pistole, right end; Pyland, right
tackle; Lanham, right guard; Lackie,
center; Curry, left guard; Vance left
tackle; Townsend, left end; Smith,
quarter; Garry, right half; Quayle,
left half, Edgar, fullback.
Substitutes: Bryant for Pistole;
Franklin for Quayle; Lyons for Lack
ie; Grun for Garry.
PROGRAM OF THE
DEPT. OF PHYS
ICAL EDUCATION
By H. H. House.
The Department of Physical Edu
cation has been created for the pur
pose of expanding the physical train
ing work. Beginning with this year
two lecture courses in Physical Edu
cation are being given. These courses
carry college credit and are given
for the purpose of preparing men
who expect to coach athletics or give
physical training work in the public
schools. These courses consist of both
lecture and practice work.
The enrollment in these courses is
small but this is due to the fact that
only juniors and seniors are eligible
for the work, and also, because many
who would like to take the work are
unable ot arrange their schedules to
include it.
The Intramural Program will be
enlarged to include many new phys
ical activities, such as, baseball, hand
ball, cage ball, volleyball, track ten
nis, etc. All of this, however, cannot
begin at once because the Gymnasi
um will not be completed before Jan- j
uary 1st. and then too, there must
be considerable organization effect
ed before the work can be started
satisfactorily. The student body is

Bible’s Men Flash Brilliant Offense
in Second Half of the
Game.
The Aggies added another scalp to
their belt Friday afternoon in the
form of 33 to 0 win over the much
touted Trinity Tigers. A one touch
down victory had been conceded with
the Tigers having an outside chance
of winning. But somehow, the old
dope bucket was given the usual up
set and the Tigers goal-line had been
crossed five times and a safety add
ed for good measure.
It seemed as though Capt. Miller
& Co. had decided to put the game on
ice at the very beginning. Taking the
ball on the fifty-yard line, they start
ed a march of 3 successive first downs
but were halted on the one yard line
and the ball went over on downs.
However, when Morrison, of the Vis
itors, attempted a punt from behind
his own goal line, Allison broke
through and blocked it for a safety.
Again in the second quarter, a
touchdown was prevented by an un
timely fumble on the ten yard line.
The 2nd. half wasn’t three minutes
old before “Mule” had added another
touchdown to his string, circling left
end for 20 yards. Then business be
gan to pick up. The line was open
ing up holes wide enough to drive
that old proverbial wagon through.
Twice did the Aggie fans have the
pleasure of seeing little Bob Berry
step through the Tigers secondary
