Arkansas Aggies to Invade Aggie-

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

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-

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

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,
