At Aggie Stadium
Comtog back for their second
game en Kyle Field, the Prairie
View Panthers will meet the strong
Texas College eleven of Tyler on
the Aggie sUdium at 1:00 p. m.,
December 2..
The prairie View squad will be
accompanied by their brass band
and the Prairie View student body,
this means the Panthers will not
be without moral support
Last year the Panthers met and
defeated a team from Arkansas
College and those who saw the
game were as greatly impressed
with the Prairie View rootipg sec
tion as 4hey wese with the football
teem. The co-eds from the “colored

stunts and their battle cry of
•‘Touchdown Prairie View, Touch
down Prairie View” has become a
humorous byword on the Aggie
campus
Prairie View ahrays boasts a
strong eleven and usually wins the
colored championship of the state.
This year five players formerly on
the much talked of Bryan High
colored team are members of the
squad and probably will be out to
live up to their reputations before
the home town folks.

Elliott Announces
Corps Dances Have
Shown Net Profit
Donald Elliott, social secretary
of the senior class, when interview
ed on the outcome of the corps
dances so far this year stated, “Of
the five corps dances given so far
this year, all have shown a profit
with the exception of the one held
on the night of October 29th. The
crowds this year have been about
one-half as large as they were last
year. The dance following the T.
a U -Aggie football game proved
to draw the largest crowd, with
more than twelve hundred in at
tendance.” ‘ *’ , f
There no more big dances
scheduled fbr the remainder of the
school yeaT, but it is hoped that
some of the corps dances following
the various club dances to be held
in the Spring will prove to be un
usual financial assets, Elliott said.

Aggies Defeated
By Texas l Team
Thanksgiving Day
I The “even year” jinx hjjM good

University of Texas Longhorns de
feated the Aggies by a Beore of
21-0, closing the football season for
both teams. 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

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

third and fourth quarters the Ag
