The last go-round rather ocmpli-
cated matters for the scribes that
pick the conference’s best. Until the
Turkey feast we had Mills and Ma
son reversed, but Mills’ work against
the Longhorns stamps him as one
of the best backs in the conference.
Then we were not sure about “Chuck”
Richter—not sure that the majority

HEAP.
At last seven student bodies can
now devote their time to the major
thing that they came to college for,
because this hectic 1929 football sea
son has come to a brilliant close with
the Frogs finally defeating the Mus
tangs and winning their first title—
and the Aggies taking the Long
horns into camp. What could have
been a better curtain—with the ex
ception of the Aggies being in the
Frogs position. Anyhow, our gang
got together and made people talk.
Although Matty Bell loses several
outstanding men of the conference,
still we think that he is on his way
for a championship next year.

HANDBALL COMPETITION TO
START
Handball, at present one of the
most popular sports on the Aggie
campus, will soon get underway on
the intramural program. Four years
ago this sport was inaugurated with
about 15 men competing; last year
over 150 individuals took part in
the league and tournament play
and more than 200 is expected to
take part in this fast game this
year. Just try to get a court any
time of the day or any day of the
week and you will have to wait for
a considerable time. It is now push
ing basketball and playground ball
for the popular sports. Practically,
every major coach in the United
States gives this game as his fav
orite pasttime. Entries should al
ready be in and managers must have
them in by Wednesday night as the
leagues will be formed Thursday
and mailed out the same day.
Competition in Speedball has been
hindered by bad weather lately, but
the winners will soon be determined.
The standing of your team may be
had by asking any of the intramural
managers at the gym.
Standing of Organizations.
The following is a standing of the
organizations in the intramural com
petition for the Intramural Standard.
This includes points made in Class
A basketball. Class B Basketball,
and cross country. It is necessary
that every organization enter every
sport if they intend to try for this
beautiful flag. 50 points are given
for the entry in each sport. Company

MILLS, CONOVER, ALSABROOK
OUTSTANDING IN VICTORY
Its history now about the Thanks
giving Day game, so we wont be
telling any news when we inform
Aggieland that we copped the game
from those Steers, 13-0, but we add
to the glorification of a few Aggies
that fought their very hearts out
to eke out the victory.
It was a treat for sore eyes to
watch Captain Tommy Mills perform
the way he did. Weaving and bobbing
in and out for gains every time he
packed the oval, he was invincible
against the highly touted Longhorn
offense that has held down numer
ous backfield stars in past games
this season. From the time he open
ed the Aggie offensive drive on their
first play of the game with a bril
liant 32 yard scamper around left
end until the final whistle, he was
the outstanding player on the field.
Being handicapped before the game
by being a marked man, Mills soon
threw off this weight and was gain
ing ground, shooting passes and
tackling as he never did before.
If Mills is left off the all-confer
ence teams, there will be something
very wrong in Denmark.
There was another man in the
backfield who comes in for an equal
amount of credit, Brooks Conover.

BASKETBALL REIGNS
SPORT WORLD NOW
First Game December 15th.
Football has passed on and once
more basketball will draw the at
tention of sport loving fans. Coach
Reid, although he is not blessed with
more than three real basketball
players, has 20 willing Aggies work
ing out each day and promises a
fighting combination for the season
of 1930. The Aggies boast one of the
best guards in the Southwest in
Captain Buster Keeton who gained
All-Conference berth last year and
in Konecny, he has a worthy mate
for Keeton. Harris, candidate for end
on the varsity football team, proved
last year that he could handle one
of the guard positions and with sev
eral of the 1929 freshmen showing
promise, the rear positions seem to
be well taken care of.
Aggies Have Good Centers.
