DEPARTMENT TO START INTRA MURAL PROGRAM FARMERS FACE NEW OPPONENTS ON KYLE FIELD Large Crowd of Students, Faculty Members, See Reproduction of Sewanee-A. and M. Game. Students to Benefit by New System of Athletic Training at A. and M. Arkansas Aggies to Invade Aggie- land for the First Time at Kyle Field. By E. P. NOWOTNEY. Last Saturday afternoon the ma jority of the students that did not go to Dallas to actually witness the A. and M.-Sewanee game, and a number of Campus and Bryan people saw a reproduction of the game on the famous Grid-Graph Score Board. The returns of the game were shown elec trically, and although a few plays were missed, the audience received practically every play in detail; and no doubt this was the first time many of the audience saw a board of this type in operation. The purpose in operating the Grid- Graph Electrical Score Board is to arouse athletic enthusiasm, to keep the corps posted on other teams com peting for the Southwestern cham pionship, and to enable Campus and Bryan people as well as those stu dents who cannot accompany the team on its various trips to other places, to see every player’s part in the dif ferent games. The use of this board (Continued on Page 10) Texas A. and M. has long been noted for its famous athletic teams and consequently has been given the name—The Athletic and Military Col lege of Texas. However, every stu dent that has spent at least one year at A. and M. has felt the need of an athletic program that would give every individual an opportunity to re ceive the benefits derived from ath letic competition as well as give an outlet for the pugnacious instinct that characterizes every man that is in that age which includes practically every college student. Within the next few days this want or need will be realized for by that time the newly created Department of Physical Education, of which Mr. H. H. Houes is the head, will start the mammoth intramural athletic pro gram that has been formulated and planned for the benefit of the student body. To begin to explain the work ings of this undertaking would be a large task, but some idea of the im- (Continued on Page 10) Friday afternoon, a new enemy will enter the gates of Kyle Field bent upon humbling the “Fighting Farmers” in their own back yai*d. These invaders are known as the Arkansas Aggies and hail from the wilds of the Ozark mountains. And these mountaineer teams are certain ly fighters. For. the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the institution these warriors represent, the follow ing information will be of value. Its history dates back only a few years, but its growth in that time has been remarkable. At first it was consid ered and rated among the preparatory school of that section.' In the last year or so, however, it has risen to a point where its teams are rated with those of the larger schools of the South. Last year, this Aggie team includ ed in its schedule the famous eleven of the West Point cadets, and made a very creditable showing against them.

AGGIES DEFEAT SEWANEE TIGERS IN HARD BATTLE (Continued from Page 1) elected to kick off. Mahoney kicked over the Aggie goal line and the ball was put into play on A. and M.’s 20 yard line. Kishi made two yards thru right tackle. Fay Wilson un corked a long spiral to Barker who was only able to make a couple of yards before Dieterich downed him. The ball was then on Sewanee’s 42 j yard line. Gibbons attempted an end run around the left wing but the play was smeared by Mit Dansby for a 6 yard loss. On the next play. Bar ker attempted to gain thru the line but fumbled and Wilson recovered for the Aggies. Allison plunged the line for a gain of 5 yards. Fay Wilson was thrown for a 7 yard loss in an attempted run from a pass formation. Berry made a yard over tackle. Wil son punted across the goal line and Sewanee put the ball into play on their 20 yard line. Mahoney, stand ing under the shadows of his o .vn goal, startled the spectators and the Aggie eleven by attempting a pass to Barker but overthrew him by a few feet. On the next play he punted to Berry who returned fifteen yards ai-.d was downed on A. and M.’s 49 yard line. After a time-out for the Ag gies, Mit Dansby shot a long pass to Allison who made one of the sensa tional plays of the game by jumping up from the midst of three Sewanee players and taking the ball from them before it reached their wait ing hands. Berry and Kishi made 5 yards on two plays. On a triple pass, Fay Wilson to Mit Dansby, to W. Wil son, the Aggies placed the ball on the Tiger’s 1 yard line. Fay Wilson took the ball across on the next play, and Mit Dansby kicked goal. After the touchdown was made the Aggies took up a defensive game and the Mountaineers began their aerial attack. They tried long passes and short passes on all parts of the field. On several occasions Mahoney, play ing fullback for the Tigers, attempted to pass from underneath the very shadows of his goal. Once he got one of these passes off while he was standing behind his own goal line, for a gain of 50 yards before the sec ondary defense of Aggies could down Harris, who received the pass. In Barker, Sewanee has one of the best quarterbacks that has been in action on a Texas gridiron in many years. He is an extremely danger ous man on the offensive; a very cap-, able general; and a sure safety man. Time and again, he would grab up one of Wilson’s long punts and before the Aggie ends would reach him, would have the ball advanced 15 or 20 yards. In Mahoney, they had another star. He was the back that did the passing and kicking until he had to be carried from the field, utter ly exhausted. Harris and Gibbons,
