I The two teama are even ia auay re*(M- u but tbc chief difference
is ia the running attack aad the game from the sir. The Bears seem
to have the edge on the Aggies
from the air, but the Cadet* have
a better running attack than their
opponents. I believe that the Ag
gies are good for two touchdowns
over the Bears and that the Fight
ing Farmers can bold the Bruins
to one touchdown with the pasai
defense they are working on this
week. The final score should bo
Aggies 13, Haylor 7.
LET’S TAKE BAYLOR OLD ARMY
To say that the Aggies will not
win s conference game is vary fool
ish. The Aggies have a strong
club. It has played good games and
lost. Last weak at Beaumont the
Cadets battled the Centenary Gen-
tiem^n to a scoreless tie until far
into the last quarter and held the
edge on them until that time. This
week Centenary defeated the Texas
University Steers in the Steers*
own corral. Too, Jack Chevigneyjf
Longhorns are favorites to arin the
conference title this year. Then the
Arkansas Rasorbacks corns here
next week. The Aggies are not duck
soup for the Hogs. Remember last
year when the Arkansas team
seemed to be headed for an unde
feated season? They came down
to Houston and were beaten and
completely outplayed by their un
derated opponents by a 7 to 0 count.
Then, too, the Aggies get a crack
at the University of Texas eleven
at Austin Thanksgiving Day, aad
the Farmers are never a setup for
the Longhorns regardless of the
rating of the two teams at the
time of Uieir meeting. A lot of
things can happen in a season and
this season is young yet!

WILSON
It seems as though a southwest
conference cross country team »s
not complete without a Wilson on
iL This year Rice, Texas and A and
Id are the only three teams in the
conference with cross country
teams and each has a Wilson as
their chief thyeat. On the Longhorn
team is George Wilson, who won
first place in the conference meet
at Houston last year. He and two
members ef last years team who
finished with the first ten ia the
conference meet are back on the
1D31 team. At Rice Institute u
‘‘Rabbit" Wilson, who won second
in the conference meet last year.
Around him the Rice team will be
formed. Then here at A and M we
have a sophomore whose name ia
Wilson and who is also a cross
country man. He seems to be the
Aggies best bet this season as he
has come out first ia every com
petitive run the team has held so
far. The meet seems to he a race
jf Wilsons this year.
The stands were not so well fill

ton just 310 poorer than he came
spectators witnessed the Aggie-
Frog game, but up in the press box
the attendance was somewhat
larger than usual. There were
sports writers from most every
Southwest Conference city. Hous-
ton was unanimously represented
with Lloyd Gregory, Fast Sports
Editor, Andy Anderson, Press
Sports Editor, and Bert Freeman,
Chronicle Sports Editor.
The game was s heart-breaker
for Lloyd Gregory, always aa
up. After being kidded quite a bit
about his predictions that the Ag
gies would wia, Gregory bet Flem
Hall, Star-Telegram Sports Editor,
and Jinx Tucker $6 each oa the
Aggies. Flem Hall says he is go
ing to frame his five spot as it is
the first bet he ever iron from
Gregory in his life. The Poet
Sports Editor is not uneasy for be
plans on betting Hall $10 on the
Owl-Frog contest

*f the season. Tbc Aggies drop

the season to T C U IS to 0 while

Baylor has a great passing team,
it was their passing that was tak
ing them down the field last ymr
on Kyle field toward the last ef
the game. When the final gan had
sounded, the Bears were near the
Aggie pay station, and had made
a list minute march from their own
40 yard line by slinging short pass
es just over the Aggie line. Their
passing so far has been very effec
tive. The Baylor clab is rated next
to S M U in this particular field.
REMINISCENCES OF AGGIE ATHLETES
who continually slipped through
the Bear defense or received the
passes over their line. Scorned by
the Baylor mentors in his high
school dbys, it was Hunt who help
ed bring.' defeat to the Golden
Bears."
Hunt made All-Southwest Con
ference halfback that year.
In the season of 1928 Hunt was
shifted to quarterback. .. In this
position he was again given an All-
Conference berth. Hunt played a
great game against the Sewaare
team that year. He made the only
touchdown scored against them
and showed up well in all depart
ments. He played a sensational
game against T C U and made i
4H yard drop kick to start the scor
ing against the Frogs.
He was elected captain of the
1927 championship football tea
was named All-Conference quar
terback, All-American mention and
All-Western halfback. In this year
he led the Aggies to a 38 to 7
victory over the Texas Longhorns
which meant a championship for
A and M. It was a game of games
at Aggieland—27,600 witnessed
the game. Hunt passed to per
fection at the crucial time.
After football season was over,
he played for the AO-West team
that defeated the East team 16 to
C
Hunt was also n star ef the dia
mond. He was on the squad ia
1927 and All-Southwest Conference
shortstop ia 1938. Duriag the 1928
baseball season he eras at bat 68
times and got 37 hits for an av
erage ef 897.
t Since leaving A and M, Hunt
played professional baseball three
years in the Cardinal chain eyn-
tero and coached football one year
at Marshall. In 1931 be came back
to A aad M ns assistant baekfield
coach, then moved to Louisiana
State where be has been assistant
football coach since.
JOEL HUNT who was unable ta
make the Waco high school team,
and turned down by his home col
lege (Baylor), be came to A and
M. After seeing very little service
on the fish team, he played intra
mural football, got aa invitation
to the varsity, and became one of
the greatest athletes ever turned
out from Aggieland. .
After starting on an intramural*'
team ia the winter of 1926, Hunt
eras given aa invitation to come
out for spring training. The fall
of 1926 he was a sophomore and
proved to be one of the finds of
the season, listed along with Gay,
Arnold, Colgin, and Willis. He
passed 13 yards to Wilson for the
first touchdown of the season and
beat S M U 7 to 6. HU paasing
was brilliant through the season.
The 1936-26 Longhorn carries aa
article shout the Aggie back when
be played against Baylor that year.
“Aggie fane will long remember
the Baylor game a6 Boat’s day. It
eras Hunt who was responsible for
both touchdowns and it was Hunt
Interest Shown In
Boxing Here
A keen interest has been arous
ed in boxing here ns Willie Powell,
former 126 pound Southern Con
ference champion, has been giving
boxing lessons and training to all
who are interested in boxing.
The workouts were started last
Thursday and 36 men were out to
a port la the first training.
Those who are out are showing a
lot of interest and Powell has is
sued regular daily training work-
a.
Classes are held ns intramural
classes for one hour Thursday at
4 o’clock, Friday at 2, and Satur
day at 1, when there U no game
here. Sandbags are available for
those who care to use them.
Many of the intramural boxen
are out and a muck better brand
of boxing will be exhibited in fu
ture matches since all have a desire
to learn the scientific side of box
ing.
and it was the pacing of the Toods
that dealt the Farmers plenty at
misery. The running attack of the
Bean should not give the Aggies
so much trouble. The running backs
of the Aggies such as Couser, Fow
er. Cummings, and Thompson have
the edge oa the Jennings coached
club. .
Defensively the Bruins are
strong. The line ia big and expsr
ienced. They held the strong Ar
kansas tsam to a lone touchdown
—add it came on a bad break. The
previous week the Rasorbacks had
beaten the Texas Christians by a
•ride margin.
Baylor defeated Hardin-Simmons
13 to 6, and were defeated by the
Texas Tech MatadoH, but too much
mnnot be doped on 1 these games,
oeeaaae even if some small school
Joes defsat Baylor they an, never
theless, s tough confersncs team.
The Aggies are working hard
this week on a pass defense to stop
the Bruins next Saturday. If the
Aggies can stop the H> sr aerial of
fense they an favorites to win the
.-obtest. The game is due to be one
of the hardest fought contests of
the season with the dope on the
two teams • pointing slightly in
favor of Baylor. { J

You speak into the telephone. Your voice, your
personality, part of you is projected far and wide.
In effect you are in two places and times at once—
evening in New York, afternoon in San Francisco.
Or you're in Washington today and in Sydney,
Australia tomorrow—at one and the same time!
The telephone’s power to put a person where he
wants to be—at the psychological moment—proves
tremendously valuable.
In domestic and foreign
business, in national and
international affairs, in
friendly social contacts,
it permits a quick inter
change of ideas and im
mediate understanding.

smoking Granger for a .
long time said this:
"A package of Granger gives
me and my old pipe about 9 hours
of enjoyment,
"My pipe is about average size,
and smoking it leisurely as / like
to do, a pipeload of Granger lasts
me about 25 minutes, and that
means that I get about 21 good
pipeloads from every package,
"Was there ever so much enjoy
