THE BATTALION AGGIES SHOW CLASS IN INITIAL GAME % BILLCOUSEt LEADS ItROOM-IEN TO VICTORY WITH FLASHY RUNS - ^ : * “Mujodna" Fowler Prtiwen Comer for Prominence, Turning in a Very Credible Afternoon. The Tex** Aggie* wfanred tnorh claim in the opening game of the •oaAon a* Bill Couser and Odel “Muggins” Fowler furnished the fireworks for the charges of Coach es Norton and Hubbard when the Fighting Farmers scored a 28 to 0 victory over the 8am- Houston Bearkats on Kyle Field Saturd£r afternoon. The Cadet offense began to dick in the first quarter, but a pair of fumble* near the Bearksts 1 goal line prevented the Aggies from scoring. On the opening play of the second quarter, however, Sid Martin, speedy Httle back from Gilmer, dashed twelve yards for the first Aggie touchdown of the season. Thompson kicked the extra point. The second counter of the game came in this quarter after the Farmer* had made a 47 yard march on line plunges and a heavy aerial attack. Randow scored the touchdown on a one yard plunge. Little Couser hurled a S5 yard pas* to Wilbur Randow In the third quarter for the third touchdown of the' game. Couser kicked the extra point making the score 21 to 0. The Cadets were-‘rushing madly toward the Bearkats goal line fea turing Couser’s passing and brok en field running as the quarter ended. • ' Reese Newsome, sophomore back Tram the Masonic Home in Fort Worth, scored the finml touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter when he plunged the line for two yards. The linev coached by Cal Hub- hard. held good in the game against the 8am Houston Teachers. Six yards wei* ail the husky Kata could gain over the Aggie line the entire afternoon. The only Bearkat threat came in the second quarter when a bar ricade of passes placed them on the Aggie five yard line. The Cadet line held like a brick wall, and sec ondaries knocked down two passes that sailed over the goal line. Bob Madeley and Marvin Rush ing. half backs, were the outstand ing players for the Teacher*. Madeley was the only man who consistently stopped the Aggie backs.

Polo Club Prepares This Year’s Program At their fiibt meeting Monday night, the polo club was officially organised. The meeting was call ed by J. B. Johnson. Dallas, pres- i ident, for the purpose of obtain ing new members and generally discussing problems that have sris- en since last firing. The team is composed of thirty members, coadhed by Lieutenant J. J. Binns of the Artillery; the membership is to be limited only to members of the Artillery, and a small \ fiVrds of tweaty-fivp cents a month is required to take care of incidental expenses. The team has rather a herd schedule ip view, although final arrangements imd details have to be worked out later. Johnson stat ed that he hoped to have two gam es here; one with Oklahoma Uni versity and the other with Texas University. If the plans work out there will also be return engage ments with b<>th schools. Then, each Sunday the weather permits there will be practice games with the Cavalry. Intramural Sports Now Being Planned Plans for the intramural sports program for the coming \ "*r are now in the period of formation. Mr. Pcnberthy, director of intra mural sports announced. Mr. Penberthy announced his senior managers as William E. Fitzgerald, Battery E. Field Ar tillery. and Bill Percy, Company C Engineers; and Bill Hahan, Bat tery C Field Artillery. R. E.

"No one can convince ae- that we are beaten until that final gun Is fired". Cal should have been an Aggie long before he joined the ranks of the Aggies as a coach. He has that old Aggie Spirit you hear so much about. Hubbard expressed himself as being wall pleased with the show ing of his linemen agaiast the Sam Houston Bearkats. Although they need much polish added to their play. tbe4r first actual trial of the new system was pleasing. Two Sam Houston punts were blocked and a number of others were missed only by a split second. One punt by Sam Houston showed a loss of four yards and another a loss of one yard. The first one was partly blocked and the other one was kicked out of bounds be cause the punter was being rush ed on his l^ft. COUSEE SHOWS CLASS Bill Couser, pride of Brecken- ridge. was an outstanding star in the 28 to 0 victory over the Bear kats Satusday. The Teachers seem ed to have trouble holding the darting Aggie as he would spin right out of a tackier* arms and continue to gain. "Little Bill" made s 22 yard run through the center of the line late la the third quar ter and continued to run and pass down the field on a 43 yard i^rive. Couser’s S3 yard pass to Itaadow was the oatstanding play of the afternoon. He gained one hundred yards through the Bearknte line Of scrimmage and kicked two aoctrs (mints. NORTON ALL SMILES "I am de^ghted over the show ing of my bqys in their first actual contest of the year", said Coach Norton as be recalled the Aggie- Bearkate tussle Saturday after noon. “The support of the Aggie cheering section means a let both to me and to the team". Coach Norton is a developer of both football players and-of men. In his seven years at Centenary he developed twelve All-American football players or with a high rep utation aa some might think.

POP WARNER HAS STRONG crew;* When the Aggies clash with Pop Warner's Temple University Grid sters in Philadelphia on October 6, they will be playing one of the strongest teems of any Southwest Conference school. Temple had not made such an impressive showing in recent years until Pop Warner became Head Coach. Last year the team made a fair shots-m4. He had a group of freshmen last gear from all parts of the United States and those men are eligible for the varsity this year. In ah intra-squad game this September, the sopho more team beat the last year squad than twelve thousand students and Pop Warner should have a foot ball team from such a school If the Aggies can hold that heavy Temple team with the War ner system of football (which is noted for Rs power), they have something to be proud of. FORMER SPORTS EDITOR OF BATTALION WITNESSES AGGIES Mr. Caldwell, Sports Editor of the Battalion in was in the Press Box Saturday afternoon to see the Aggies ^pounce on the Bear- kata in grand style. The former Sports Editor highly praised Cosches Norton and Hubbard for the splendid showing of their club. Mr. Caldwell wrote sport* when such stars as Joel Hunt. Mule Wil son, and Dieterich were playing at Aggieland. clgb. They were Jake Mooty, ace hilrler and captain-elect, and Bill Sodd. They were members of the Laundry team that won the State Afiateur Baseball title. Ifooty has hsf! a great ypar. He pitched the thf Aggies to six Southwest Con ference victories last spring and won fifteen ipmnes for the Laon- dry team in Fbrt Worth. His sea son record shows a total of twenty one wins againpt two setbacks, be- side* the twm.flsmes he won in the state finals. $lim Kinsy, former Tdu. pitcher and now a member of the Chicago White Sox, beat him for the first defeat, and the other one was lost after pitching a taro hit ball game.; Mooty pitchod five shutout* during the year, two of which was in ^te State finals. The powerful TSC Motor Lines team of H bus ton that (rent to Fort Worth in the state 'Mmls could not score ufi the offeriip of Mooty the two day* they facqd him. Sodd did ndt recover from the injury he' foaeived on the Kyle Fifld diamond in the game with Baylor until die first of August. Since that tipt« be has been a member of th# Fort Worth Laun dry team and played in the finals. Sodd batted bi clean-up position by three touchdowns.‘Temple Uni , versity has an enrollment of more, foe the Lauridiyinen the short time In looking over the campus the following basketball men wbo are present for the varsity can be seen daily: Captain Breaxcnle, Wilkins, Tohline, Carmichael, Stansel, Dor is, Bisby, and Hutto U-tterman; Lee, Jones, Evans, Blick.

REMINISCENCES OF AGGIE ATHLETES Each week in this column a par agraph will be devoted to famous Aggie athletes of the past who have helped make Aggie athletic history great. This peek I will use as an open ing selection, a man wbo needs little or no introduction to those who are familiar with with Aggie athletes. The man ia CHARLEY DE WARE, SR., who now resides at Brenham- The grant Aggie Im mortal played end for the 1908 and 1909 football teams. Charley came from the Piney Woods to Allen Academy and while there he displayed a lot of foot ball ability. He made All-South- west Conference end in 1908. The 1908 Longhorn carries the follow ing article about the great end. “He is quite a student.... of mag azines .... and carries one of the largest schedules available .... one hour daily.” In 1909, a junior stadent, he was captain of the foot ball and bas.-ball teams. He was a first baseman while on the dia- (Continued on Page 4) M.11 \KKKAkKLT colleges before he entered Cente nary. Last year he was placed on almost every All-American selec tion in the country and was rated the best field general in the South. Aggies supporters should keep Norton’s past record in mind and watch hia development of the team through the season .... not ex pecting him to put out a cham pionship, for a team cannot be developed in one season. Norton admits that he has a world of out standing prospects, but these men cannot be developed over night. Norton’s system is based largely on defensive play. The Aggies at the present time do not have any first class blockers, and if the Coaches can develop a good de fense along with the offense they are now developing, the Aggies will go places in the football world.
