Remember gang, lest we forgjet,
that the reason for that fly T. C. U.
i
put in the ointment last year was
overconfidence. Fight every game as
it comes and look upon every oppon
ent as a most worthy foe, because
they are that and more. The sea
son for easy games is over and for |
everything we get from now on out:
we have to fight and fight hard. That!

Due to the Conference ruling that
allows them to count certain games
as conference games, Arkansas Uni
versity is now leading the list with
1000 per cent as a result of their 21-
6 victory over Mississippi Universi
ty last Saturday. “Ole Miss” was un
doubtedly a worthy foe, but we hard
ly think it fair to the other schools
that have to battle the strongest
teams in the Conference that the
Porkers should have such an easy
time. IJf they have to count such
games as such, why don’t they count
the Oklahoma University game, or
some of the other Missouri Valley
teams they play? Nevertheless the
Razorbacks are now at the top of
the list in the Southwestern Con-
■ ference standing.

AGGIE GOLFERS ORGANIZE.
Coach D. X. Bible addressed the

AGGIES WIN
OVER SOUTH
WESTERN 35-0
Pirate Ship Goes Aground on Kyle
Field.
Unleashing a powerful running and
passing game the Texas Aggies reel
ed off gain after gain through the
highly touted Southwestern Pirates on
Kyle Field last Saturday afternoon
for a decisive 35-0 victory. It was

stubborn defensive work by Hodges
and Lehmberg that the Pirates kept
the score down to what it was. Young

SEWANEE COMES
FOR VENGEANCE
Hailed as the Greatest Intersectional
Classic of the Season. An Aerial
Battle to be Main Feature.
For the fourth consecutive time the
University of the South will invade
I Texas in an attempt to draw a win
1 from the Texas Aggies. Three times
. before they have failed; in the pre
mier attempt they were decisively
defeated and outplayed by a 13 to 0
score, the second attempt resulted in
a 7 to 0 decision for the ever fight
ing Texas Aggies, the third attempt
was very near a fruitful one. Sewanee
with a master team, master of all
tricks—a good line, a shifty and fast
backfield, was sent back to their lair
high in the Tennessee mountains, with
a 6 to 6 score torn from the very
heart and soul of the Texas Aggies.
Sewanee, in their fourth attempt
to leave Texas soil with a victory
over the Farmers, will bring with
them, in the form of a football team,
a do or die spirit. Ever since football
season has been inaugurated the one
thing that has been instilled a,nd
drilled into their minds, they have
been living it, “Beat the Farmers.”
This has been their slogan and with
such a determination as they have
developed and the “never say die”
spirit of the Aggies—^promises to
make the intersectional tilt the most
hotly contested and the most inter
esting of the current season. Football
fans and critics the country over know
