THE BATTALION 7 Ag-gies Determined—- INJURED (Continued from page 6) showings made last Saturday by Pete Hewitt, left half; Walter Davis, right half; and Harry Stiteler, 137 pound ball toter, who sprang into prominence with his running and passing game at quarter, it is probable that these changes will remain permanent. In the event that Captain Bull Floyd should be unable to enter the game because of an injured knee re ceived in the Centenary game, it is likely that the position of fullback will fall to Jelly Woodman, who has alter nated with Floyd most of the sea son. George Lord, flashing sophomore guard, sustained an injured ankle as a result of the recent game, but is expected to be in shape for the open ing kick-off. Although the Mustangs haven’t re covered from their 25-7 licking at the hands of the Longhorns last Satur day, they will be in shape for the Ag gies. Incidentally, that defeat is the worst they have suffered since the 39-13 defeat on Kyle Field in 1927. This season the Mustangs were rat ed as having the best shot at the conference title, but a tie and a loss have knocked them from the running. However, the Ponies have a powerful, ever-dangerous team that is not to be overlooked for a second. Their passing combination of Gilbert and Koontz is one of the best in the con ference, while Weldon Mason is a ball carrier of very well-known ability. Harry Stiteler— (Continued from page 6) yard line, and romped through the entire Aggie team for a run of 96 yards and touchdown. Centenary miss ed a chance to win the game by inches when an attempted field goal in the fourth quarter went under the bar. Harry Stiteler and Pete Hewitt found themselves in this game, tear ing through the opposition line al most at will for nice gains. Rube Tracy played one of the greatest games of his career at end, while Lord, Moore, and Hornsby, guards; Abbey, center, and Magrill and Moul- den were shining lights in the rest of the line. McFadden kept up his record punting, and got one off for 62 yards in the third quarter. The new backfield combination of Stiteler, Hewitt, Floyd, Davis, and Woodman played almost perfect ball throughout the game, and proved themselves to be the most effective crew of this season. George Lord and Captain Bull Floyd were taken from the game because of injuries, but will probably be back in the game for the coming contest with S M U. Intramural— (Continued from page 6) championship climax yet but there is a great deal of enthusiasm being shown over it. Last Sunday there was an extremely closely contested game between Battery A and Com pany C, Engineers. At the end of the game the score was tied 12 to 12. Five extra periods were played, one after the other with still no change in the score. The game was called on account of darkness and the tie will be played off at a later date. All except one league in Class “B” has finished their playings. Company A, Infantry; Company H, Infantry; and Troop D, and the winner of League C will play for the champion ship of the “B” class in the near fu ture. DANSBY An injury to his shoulder will likely keep Dansby out of the game the re mainder of the season. Coming just when the stocky little quarter was looking his best, the injury is an unu sually tough break for the Bryan boy. Sports Bits— (Continued from page 6) held, and organization attempted on the Monday after the holidays. * * * There is a possibility that Captain Bull Floyd will be out for the rest of the season with an injured knee, hurt in the last game. Bull’s loss to the team would be a hard blow, for his fighting aggressiveness is one of the mainstays of the team. * H« * When in Dallas—don’t do as the Dallasites do! Wait until after the football game for that. The main ob ject in going to Dallas is to win a football game—let that thought be paramount in your mind. After the game—eat, drink, and be merry— for tomorrow you return. Freshmen Win— (Continued from page 6) made a sensational 47 yard return, thus placing the ball on Allen’s 3 yard line. Domingue was hurt in the play and was replaced by Brown. Af ter two line plunges by Barfield and Spencer had placed the ball on Allen’s 1 yard line, Brown went around end for the touchdown and Spencer con verted for the extra point. Domingue’s 47 yard return of the punt, a 37 yard run around end and a 20 yard run off tackle, coupled with a 37 yard run by Barfield, former high school team mate of Domingue, were the features of the game. Rudder, center; Von Minden, tackle, and Roberts, Murray, and Watson, ends, featured in the freshman line. Allen, quarter, and Lewis, half, turn ed in an excellent game for the Allen eleven. Every man on “A” squad took part in the game, the total num ber used by Coach Higginbotham, freshman coach, being 32. Wm. B. Cline, M. D. EYE, EAR, NOSE & THROAT Refraction and Glasses Phone 606 Res.

ALL-SOUTHWEST MATERIAL .. “Bus the Mighty” turned in what was probably the • best game of his college career against the Centenary Gentlemen last week. Fans may have seen ball-toters get hit just as hard, but never any harder than the hefty Aggie guard was cracking them. The sterling play of Tracy against the Centenary Gents last week, both on the offense and defense, marks him as one of the outstanding con tenders for an all-conference wing berth this year.
