THE BATTALION THANKSGIVING! TEXAS AGGIES LONGHORNS For thirty-five years “gang” those three words have gone hand and hand—and what a history they make each time ? Let us help you make next Thursday the greatest day of all. ALL THIS WEEK T. K. LAWRENCE, INC. will be busy with the problem of preparing the Aggie student body to meet the rushes of the greatest opponent they have to face The Weather Rain or Gold We have just the Goat In case of rain wear one of the new trench slickers. They are all the rage. In case its cold you’ll be correctly dressed if you wear one of our new Learbury long college top coats. Overcoats Models and patterns that will meet your every requirement. Winders, A. and M. first; Brunson, Rice, second; Shoemaker, A. and M., third; Willis, Rice, fourth; Hilliard, Rice, fifth; Moore, A. and M., sixth; Rice man seventh; Brown, A. and M., twelfth; Michael, A. and M., thir teenth, and Yarbrough, Rice, seven teenth. And now more good news—the Aggies practically have the meet cornered next year, although the meet will be held on the asphalt course at Rice; but Coach Anderson will shoe his men with crepe shoes next year and hopes to overcome this handicap. The Aggies lose only their Captain, and young Perkins can fill his shoes. Perkins has been running about fifth on the team and would have made the trip to Austin but became ill just a few hours before the team left. His pres ence would undoubtedly have given the Aggies an undisputed claim to the championship. Also Avila, Captain-elect of this year’s team will return and Thompson will also be eligible. There are about six fresh men who are considered apt mater ial for the varsity. This gives us about fifteen men, none of whom will have a place on the team until several competitions have been run. And Rice will lose three three-year- men: Brunson, Willis, and Yarbor ough. Texas and S. M. U. will have to improve about two hundred per cent to be considered in the race. But that is next year’s team; we are proud of this under-dog team that whipped the best in the Con ference and brought home the Cham pionship for another year. 1 : NEW INTRAMURAL (Continued from Page 8) 4.

Contestants must wear cloth ing. 7. Should a kit with fishhooks attached be used in the game, not more than seventeen contestants shall be allowed to run with the string. Play by play report. First quarter. Game called 7:15 a. m. By a series of line bucks the first contestant forced his way past the second joint but lost the ball on downs. The second contestant, with a rope arrangement whereby he could stand on the rope and pull himself up reach the third joint when he lost the ball. Two line bucks failed. End first quarter. Score Flagpole 10, Fish 0. Two half hitches and a running bowline pushed the Fish into a scor ing position when the ball was lost on a fumble. A kite was sent up but failed to gain altitude. Two more line bucks failed. End first half. Score: Flagpole 10, Fish 0. A high wind helped the Fish and a kite was sent up and the fish hooks caught. (Cheers from the sidelines). The kite string broke and another chance to score was muff ed. End third quarter. Score: Flag pole 10, Fish 0. Three line bucks failed; a sudden end run around and over placed a fish in scoring position but the team lacked sufficient drive to put the play over. A kite was sent up and the fish-hooks caught in the flag. (One minute and 45 seconds to play) the flag was hauled down just as the final gun was fjred. Score: Flagpole 0, Fish 10. 1 11 1 I 1 1 ARMY! ITS TEXAS NEXT! Everyone on to Austin Thursday! WE CAN’T LOSE THIS ONE I AGGIELAND PHARMACY S. A. LIPSCOMB, Manager PISH WIN (Continued from Page 8) through the center of the line for the first counter and Jack Chris tian, all-state high school gridster from Abilene, kicked goal for extra point. The Freshmen’s second touch down came in the final period on a pass, Sibesta to Jordan. Sibesta, Marlin product, Jordan, Houston half back, Tipton of Fort Worth, Rees, Dallas, Dansby of Bryan and Clark starred for the fish in the backfield In the line the fish had several men that should make excellent Varsity material and should bring A. and M. another one of the characteristic stone walls such as Bassett turned out his first year. Walker, 243-pound All-City guard of Dalis and 204- pound Dawson of Crockett were out standing. Moulden, 180-pound tackle of Cisco, Fullenwider, Whitesboro, 205-pound guard, Christian of Abil ene, and Hill, 180-pound All-State end of Waco were other lights of the fish squad. The fish should have swamped the Blinn boys because of the num ber of stars and wealth of material on hand—but each day the Fish have been thinking only of getting the Varsity in shape for the Turkey Day game and have thought little of their game. Hig’s squad has been running plays for the game the past week, while Anderson’s squad have been helping whip the Varsity in shape. And incidentally this game was really only a warm up for the fish as they were put into action against the varsity as soon as the game was over and stayed on the field until dark. The numeral men will be announc ed in the Thanksgiving Edition of the Battalion. THE FLAGPOLE PROBLEM (Continued from Page 8) arrows, safety belts, fishing poles, and ladders were brought forth to win their owners fame and fortune, namely the ten dollars and removal of rams offered by the Colonel. But fame and fortune are but fleeting, and it was not till the sun was well past its midpoint in the day’s trav els that fish-hooks tied to a kite string caught the flag. At that the string broke, and the youthful Ka- det who had been hatching his chickens before they were due to hatch had to lay off and tend the incubator for a while. At last a string was thrown over the kite string and the flag was furled to be unfurled later on a plaster wall by a satisfied student. As for the reading matter on the flag-—well, the least said the better. Shades of the Revolution. DO IT ELECTRICALLY. (Modern way of handling women). If she talks too long—Interrupter.
