(Continued from Page 10) wise unnecessary to state that we are capable of bearing this burden. * * * The first three games of the season have been comparatively easy, and the team has improved wonderfully since the first game. Saturday, we play the first big game of the year, and it will be the first real test of the fighting power of the Aggies. MEN, WE MUST WIN THAT GAME. “You, can help do it by putting all the spirit and fight that you have oehind that team—and they WILL win. * * * The following is a letter that ap peared in an editorial in the “SE- WANEE PURPLE,” the weekly pub lication of the University of The South, better known as Sewanee: SEWANEE PURPLE, Sewanee, Tenn. Dear Purple and Folks: This must be a Sewanee Year. It has been ten years since we beat Van- dy. It must be done this year. All the alumni in Texas will be at Dallas to see the Tigers beat the Aggies. Best regards, , ’14. That is the way they feel about it, and they are going to exert every ef fort to beat us. They have one of the best teams they have ever pro duced at that institution, and so have we. * • * When the Aggies take the field on Saturday afternoon, they will present a line that will rival the famous line of 1921, averaging a little better than 185 pounds form one end to the other. The backfield, although not a heavy one, is made up of men that have proven by their performances in the early games, that they are fast, excel lent broken field runners, and possess the drive necessary to gain yardage. And to top it off, we have two capable field generals that know how to direct the combination and to the best ad vantage, besides being briliant per formers themselves. In the line there are such men as: Allison, Waugh, Forgason, Irvin, Dansby, Hardman—all of them letter men. Besides these are Brazelton, Dieterich, Beutel, Red Wilson, Meit- zen, Ochterbeck, Price, Rideout, Ben nett, Watts, and Townsend. For the Quarterback position, there is Berry and Dansby. To fill up the rest of the backfield, Fay Wilson, Woodman, Mc Guire, Kishi, Pinson, Pistole, and Ar nold. There are listed twenty-six men, and from them two teams can be picked—one as strong as the ether, other. The Aggie Offensive shows: Aggies 127; Opponents 0. Let’s keep that slate clean. * • * When the varsity squad reported for practice Monday, there was a new comer among them—no, not a new comer in the sense of the word, but a new wearer of a maroon jersey. This man has stood the knocks and jolts dealt out daily by the squad and has assisted in the molding of two Aggie teams—in a black jersey, a member of the reserves. For three years Tubby Curry has played football, but always on the Reserve or Battalion team; playing against odds—not a flashy or erratic game, but always steady and consist ent; fighting for the realization of his dream—to be a part of the team that represents old Aggieland on the grid iron. This year, he again was a mem ber of the reserves. The day before the Southwestern game, he was in structed to exchange his black sweat er for a maroon one, and with it came the realization of his dreams. This is an example of the rewards of perseverance and hard work. It is also typical of that true, never-say- die, Aggie spirit. • * * Mr. H. H. House, head of the De partment of Physical Education, has expressed a desire for all the battal ion commanders to hold an election as soon as possible for the purpose of selecting a manager of inter-battal ion athletics. This must be done im mediately as the Department wants to arrange the schedule of the Intramu ral basketball league within the next few days. RESERVES WIN OVER FISH IN FIRST SCRIMMAGE (Continued from Page 10) reason to claim a moral victory. Coach Anderson’s young hopefuls were not the easy victims that the veteran reserves had expected. Every man of both teams was given an opportunity to show his stuff. Among the Fish, Hunt, a halfback; Utay, at full; Maufrais, playing guard; and Burney at end, were the outsanding individuals. This week end, the Freshmen formally open their season against the strong Burleson College eleven on Kyle Field. He—Elman is quite a musician, isn’t he? She—Oh, yes. Even when he was two years old he used to play on the 'linoleum. —Jack o’Lantern. 1st Fish: “What kind of govern ment are they having in the Cavalry this year?” 2nd Fish: “Stable government, as usual.” : When you happen to over- gj U sleep and miss your regular | GROCERIES | ■ don’t forget Sandwiches, Pies M j| Cakes, Jelly Rolls, and sure S ■ ’nufCoffee served at all times ■ AT CHAS.
