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.

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.

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.
