TWO C°nVEHIEriT /TORE/ BRVAN and COLLEGE AGGIES DROP FIRST CONFERENCE TILT Gentlemen, they play football up at Texas Christian University. After being fought off their very feet for the first half of their Sat urday game with the Aggies, the Frogs came back in the last two per iods to stage a sensational rally and completely rout the Farmers, 13-7. The reversal of form demonstrated by the Frogs was nothing short of remarkable. Coach Schmidt must have power in those between halves speeches. The Aggies started off in the first quarter on a powerful offensive drive, which resulted in their one and only touchdown. After “Hebe” Dorsey, playing his first game of the season, had run the kick-off back some 26 yards the drive was on. A long pass from Mills to McFadden which net- bed 27 yards, put the ball in scoring position. The Aggies had a little dif ficulty in arranging their signals and were penalized five yards, putting the ball on the 17-yard line. Another pass from Mills to Conover was good for 16 and 3-4 yards, putting the oval on just about the nothing line. Dorsey plunged it over. A neat pass from Mills to Alsabrook scored the extra point. The second quarter was lifeless, with the exception of a beautiful 78 yard punt by Conover. Counting roll and all, the ball went approximately 110 yards. This boy-Connie can really boot that apple. And then that fateful second half. The Frogs came back with vinegar to spare and on a series of passes, line bucks and end runs, had the ball on the Aggie goal line in a few moments. Grubbs took it over on a beautiful off-tackle plunge. The try for point was good. The other mark er came in the fourth chukker when Cy Leland, football’s fastest human, reeled off a 43-yard run around end for a touchdown. The Ags launched a desperate rally late in the game, completing two passes for a gain of 53 yards, but the rally was abruptly stopped when Snow, a Frog sub back, leaped high in the air and speared an Aggie pass that would have put the ball on the Toad 10-yard stripe. As a result of the smashing victory over the Aggies, the Frogs have es tablished themselves as strong con tenders for the Southwestern Con ference championship. Don’t count the Aggies out of that fight yet, for there are many things that can happen in the race between now and the time for the last game. Grubbs and Leland were practical ly the whole show for the Frogs on the offensive, while Roberson, right end, was the boy who dealt out misery on the defense. He broke up many a play that would have helped the Ags in their drive towards a vic tory. The way Dorsey scampered around out there was certainly gratifying to the Aggie followers. Conover and Mills also played beautiful games. Abbey, substituting at center for Joe Brown, played a whale of a defen sive game, as did Richter, Moore and Christian. Former Attorney General Edward L. Katzeback, of New Jersey, has joined the Princeton University fac ulty, where he will teach in the de partment of politics. SAY GANG!
