DROP KICKS.
The following from the Star-Tele
gram, is an estimate of the T. C. U.
players of the Aggie gridmen. No
further comment is necessary, the
few remarks speak for themselves:
“T. C. U. players came out of the
battle with A. and M. singing the
praise of the Aggies’ clean, hard
playing.
“They fought and hit harded than
any other team we have played,”
said Captain Brumbelow, “but they
played the game as it should be.
There was no holding or unnecessary
roughness.”
“And another thing about those
Farmers,” added Noble Atkins, “is
that they know how to lose as well
as win. Saturday’s defeat hurt them
a great deal, but they took it in a
sporting manner. They have a great
spirit. If we have to lose I hope we
can do it as gracefully as A. & M.”

“Like Father, like son,” is an old
saying, and the Freshman grid team
seems to be pattering after their
Varsity in making the long trip to
Brownsville. Coach Higginbotham
and crew left today for the Southern
most point of the United States for
a scrap with the Brownsville grid-
sters.

Well gang, we have another year
to wait before we can say that the
Aggies have taken the Frogs’ to a
cleaning. It’s just been since. 1924

The above is a picture of the Arkansas Razorback grid machine that will invade Aggieland for the Aggies
first Conference tilt on Kyle Field and the second of the season. It will be the Porkers third conference tilt and
last with members of Southwestern teams. Of additional interest to followers of Southwest conference football
will be the teacher versus the pupil angle tilt occasioned by the meeting of Klepto Holmes, line coach of the
Aggies and Chuck Bassett of the Porker coaching stafc. Holmes was an all-conference guard on the Bassett
coached forward wall, which paved the way for the Aggi es when they captured the conference title in 1927.
FISH TO BATTLE BROWNSVILLE
ELEVEN
Dan Abbey, who hails from Del-
Rio, is the understudy of Joe Brown
and is such a capable student that
Joe must keep in his best form to
keep this sophomore from filling
his shoes. He played a good game
against the Frogs and for the rest
of the season and for two more
years the Aggie supporters can feel
well assured that the pivot position
will be capably taken care of.
Coach Roswell Higginbotham en
trained for the Mexican Border with
24 of his most promising freshmen
gridsters today, not to take part in
the popular Mexican pastime, but
to engage the famed Brownsville
team that so overwhelmingly defeat
ed the Chicago high school cham
pions last year.
Drill on fundamentals has occupied
the squad for the greater part of
the practice season and if South
Texas grid fans expect to see T. C.
U. plays, which the fish have been
running against the varsity, they will

What’s in a name ? Who knows ?
Ever since the time Abel raised
more cain than Cain was able, ex
perts have been a bit wary in
this game of guessing size and char
acter from names.
It’s a bit discouraging, don’t you
know, for these nomenclature sages,
when a lad with the name of Per-
cival turns out to be a second Tar-
zan, or when a youth with a hard-
sounding title comes forth as a boy
who wouldn’t fill the bottom of a
half pint bottle.
It’s the same way with nicknames.
You can’t tell a thing about them.

At last Brooks is hitting his nat
ural stride. Never since his high
school days has he gotten his kicks
off properly, but this last and final
year is different. They were perfect
in the Tulane game, improved on in
the Kansas game, and there isn’t
any word for the T. C. U. game.
He now has an average of 49 yards
for 13 boots. Not only is Connie good
at kicking the pigskin, but he is a
very versatile ball carrier and pass
er. Conover should go high when the
scribes begin picking their Confer
ence team.
