AGGIES WIN
OVER SOUTH
WESTERN 31-0
Pirate Ship Goes Aground on Kyle
Field.
Unleashing a powerful runij'ng and
plunging attack the Texas Aggies
realed off gain after gain through the
highly touted Southwestern Pirates
on Kyle Field last Saturday afternoon
for a decisive 31-0 victory. It was
only the fine defensive work of An
drews and Blackburn that kept the
score down to what it was.
The game was played just after a
terrific downpour of rain and the field
was too wet and slippery for very
much spectacular work. After a few
minutes play the players of both
teams were so muddy that it was dif
ficult to distinguish them from each
other.
The Aggie touchdowns were largely
the result of sensational dashes and
slides through the mud by Hunt, Var-
nell, Mills, Conover and Davis. Var-
nell gained the most ground for the
Aggies, turning in several nice gains
through the line.
Features of the game were the 35
yard) run through the mud for a
touchdown by Joel Hunt on the initial
play of the game and the 53 yard run
of Varnell in which he simply outran
his persuers.
Both coaches used practically their
entire squads during the afternoon.
Andrews and Blackburn turned in
beautiful defensive games for the
Pirates', with the whole Aggie line
proving too strong for the Southwest
ern attack. The Farmers rolled up a
total of eleven first downs with
Southwestern making only one.
