By winning th» Steers kept unbroken their string of Tur key Day victories on their home field and made It necessary for the Aggies to wait at least two more years for their first wia in Austin since 1922. Starting off with every promise of playing a nip-and-tuck game tke teams treated the fans to some ex cellent football throughout the first qparter. The Aggie receiver fum bled the opening kickoff and Tex as recovered on the A and M four teen yard line. A gain of ten yards carried the Steers to a first down on the four yard line with goal to go. At this point the Art* line braced and after four tries the I ,i'u hm-ns lacked tnche* of having crossed the xero marker and the ball went over to A and M. Graves punted from behind hia goal line artd got off a kick that carried six ty-five yafds and the Aggies were out of danger for the remainder of the period. . In the second quarter the Long horns opened up with an attack that netted them three touchdowns and the game. Texas carried the ball to the one yard line on straight football aad Hilliard took jfc over A and M’s left guard for the first score of the game. “Ox” L kicked, the extra point The srore- keeper had hardly marked down the first touchdown when Koy passed thirty-five yards to Sutffonl for the second. Stafford crossed the Aggie goal line and in turning around to face the play slipped down and was on his knee* when he caught the ball Blanton again came out of the line and kicked the extra point After the secoml touch down A and M kicked off to. Texas. The Steers carried the ball well in to Aggie territory before losing it on downs. Running plays availed nothing and Fowler got off one of those touchdown punta to Hilliard The “Texas Flyer” received the ball on his own thirty-five yard line and escorted by Koy and Staf ford ambled through the entire Ag gie team for the Longhorn * third and last touchdown.
