THE BATTALION
t
AGGIE FISH
HAVE UNUSUALLY
STRONG TEAM
Several of ’28 Squad Show Varsity
Ability. Undefeated and
Unscored On.
Aggieland has a right to be proud
of the squad furnished by the class
of ’28. They have, as yet, a team that
has neither been defeated or scored
on. Last week they met the strong
John Tarleton team and carried away
a well-earned victory. One of the
most noticeable features of the game
was the stonewall defense put up by
the line at a time when a yard gained
meant a score for their opponents. A
fumble was recovered on the slime’s
one-yard line by a Tarleton linesman.
A score semed certain, but four
thrusts were repulsed and the ball
went over on downs.
Turner, first string quarterback,
was a former member of the state
championship Bryan High School
team, and is playing a brilliant game
for the Fish. In the backfield, there is
also another former high school star
in Joel Hunt. Hunt is also proving
to be of Varsity ability. Last year
he played on Paul Tyson’s Waco Hi
team, which was runner-up for the
state championship. His speed and
ability as a side-stepper has made him
a valuable asset to the squad. Sykes
and Willis have developed into two
powerful line-plungers and in the
Schreiner Institute game, it was by
their line-smashing that brought the
ball from their own forty-yard line to
within scoring distance, only to be
stopped by time out.
In the line, there is also to be found
several high school and junior school
stars. Sprout, at center, is a moun
tain of strength on the defense and is
ably supported by Maufrias and Speed
at guards. All of these men are just
the type needed to fill in the gaps that
will be caused by graduation. Captain
Hill and Woodland, tackles, Calloway
and Burney, ends, complete a line that
has proved itself invincible.
On November 11, the Fish take on
Allen Academy and then finish the
season a few days before Thanksgiv
ing with their annual tussle against
the A. and M. Reserves.
The friend who tells the “candid
truth”
Were better buried in his youth.
So add a little sugar still
To sweeten that unpleasant pill
And give me—if you must and
will—
The candid truth!

VIEWS ON JOURNALISM IN
ENGLAND AS GIVEN BY MEM
BER OF CAMBRIDGE TEAM
The Varsity (University of Toron
to) asked Gerald Sparrow, one of the
members of the visiting Cambridge
debating team, for an article dealing
with student journalism in Oxford and
Cambridge.
Wrote Mr. Sparrow: “You ask me,
sir, for my impressions of University
journalism in England. I pause to
invent those impressions:
“Now undergraduates in England
are divisable into four divisions:
“1. Hearty men who row and excel
in athletics.
. “2. Lugbrious men who are learned
and excel in exams.
“3. Ordinary men.
“4. And journalists.
“Now the undergraduates who run
the weekly papers—there are no
dailies—are, again, either (a) Aes
thetes, who write the reviews and ed
itorials, and (b) Funy Men, who fill
in the intervening spaces.
“The papers at Oxford and Cam
bridge—for there are many and all
are in private hands—have nothing to
do with the authorities, but are pri
vate enterprises. At each university
there are two stable journals—one
representing university thought and
another varsity thoughtfulness.
“The Oxford and Cambridge press
is a sensative machine of public opin
ion and affords pleasure to those who
write—and even to those who read.”
—The New Student.

“The New Architecture”
A DISTINCTLY new tendency is apparent in architectural
TV thought and design today. Architects are designing in
masses — the great silhouette, the profile of the building has
become of far greater importance than its detail.
There is a new vigor and ruggedness even in buildings which are conven
tionally classic in their detail. Masses mount upward, supporting the tower,
accentuating its height. The new architecture is tending toward great struc
tures rather than multiplicity of detail.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization,
will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.
