It was in that gawe with new waterial for the west part that
Coach Norton first saw any real ress ha of his teachings that he haa

Norton coached teaw and he cooAd see the light oa his work in the

reaping results. Another thing that brought swiles to the good natured
Aggie wen tor was the way those Fighting Aggies were tackling tke
opponents. Instead of one wan being responsible far the runner there
were three and four wen on every Bear that started down the field.
Both Norton and Hubbard are disregarding the fact that a waa
has a reputation and are playing the wen that are hustling sad want
to play good. hard, rengh and teagh football. No wad has a place
cinched on this Aggie ball club, becaase the wsn that pat* out the west
in his particular position the week of the gawe gets the call.
It has been stated before in this coiawn that Norton <ri. \ . lupi play
ers instead of getting the finished product. The stateweat was proved
by pointing out the nuwber of AU-Awericaa and AJI-American wca
tions that have rowe eat frow under his tutelage after being turned
down by schools with nwoey. Aggie supporters are getting a first
gliwpae of his work tkia year and can see the aam< production crop

center and waa shifted te the beckfieid and has bees iwproving rapidly.
It was Cawwiag* that kicked the field goal at Baylor that weaat the
difference between a tie and a victory. In the line Cal Hubbard chose
three oophowore* to start the gawe. They were Staged. Kirby, and
lie Ware. DeWare waa the only one that had been chosen as a starter
before, and his initial tiwe was agaWt T C U. October 17.
A and M is not expected to have a chawpioaMup ball toaw this
year. Nothing like ckawpionskip waterial is available and toe wuch
should not be expected of the Aggie teow. No one should expect any
outstanding stars to appear this year as this process ef developing
stars coa^s out of developing toaws and that is a slow process. If the
Aggie teaw gets ia sad puts up a good fight, whether it wins or loses,
h should be looked upon as a success.
Whetker or sot you terw tke Aggie situation to date a success
(and nothing Justifies anyone to expect any wore), the Aggie coaching
staff will have ta be given credit for gaining what success it has
through its own labors, as it kas gone where it has through what it has
developed and not wkat was donated. ,. j ^ ^ .... j

I clipped the following article
from Hop's column of the Sunday
morning issul of the Austin Amer
ican. The "Texas Aggie” is an ex
student publication. The article
should be of interest to Aggies on
the campus as it shows that Ag
gies on the outside are stil) sup

ther than the first few games or
even the first season to see the
success of Aggie teams.

“The Texas Aggie,” A and M
student publication, in h recent is
sue figuratively dragged us over
the coals for commenting in this
column over the failure of the
"new football deal” at Collage
Station.
From time to time during the
past few weeks w« pointed out
that a chain of happenings indicat
ed that “something was wrong” at
Aggieland. Among these happen
ings was the sodden resignation
of Dean Kyie, chairman of the
„ athletic council; criticism by warm
- Aggie adherents of Coach Homer
Norton's showing to date; and then
the mysterious withdrawal from
school of Pete Barber, tackle, who
Line Coach Cal Hubbard, earlier
in the season, had termed an all-
American performer.
„ The “Texas Aggie” stated in ef
fect that we were laboring under
‘ an illusion; that Dean Kyle had
decided to resign before the foot
ball season had opened; that Bar
ber was famed for “taking Dutch
leave from school”that Aggie-
k land was behind Coaches Norton
and Hubbard 100 per cent, and
paid its respect to us in NO un
certain terms. >'
We would call the attention of
the “Texas Aggie” to the fact that
we have never been laboring un
der an illusion in r0ga.nl to the
rituatiofidrf A and M. On thereon-
trary we simply pointed out that
circumstantial .svidence indicated
there was “something wrong” at
the school. Since then We have been
informed from different soareea
that everything b “lovely” at Ag-
giebnd; and that the whole trou-
big is lack of football material,
particularly in the backfield. AU
of which was most pleasing news
to us, since we have the sehoi
best interest at heart.
F': S. Robbins, devout Aggie sup
porter, writes to question the abii
ity of Dana X. Bible and Matty
Beil, former coaches tt A and M
and then concludes by praising
Homer Norton, present mentor,
who he says will “show ’em some
thing yet.”
Says Mr. Robbins:

“I ask that you publish that
miserable record A and M had un
der Dana X. Bibb after he had
been there a number ; of years. I
believe it was in 1922 or 1929 and

themselves and strengthened their
defense and an exchange of punts

Through the entire first half, the

fensive end of the play but some
good punting by Wilson cleared the
Aggie cause a number of times.

he kicked and helped the Aggies

REMINISCENCES OF AGGIE ATHLETES
hich Aggieland b itill
Although he pbyed ball at A
and M during that glorious reign
of Joel Hunt, who seemingly over
shadowed other outstanding ath
letes of these years, J. V. Sikes
was making a reputation for him
self at Aggieland that will long
be remembered. Sikes was a foot
ball, basketball, and baseball star
and tetter three years in each
■port. In hb freshman year he also
made numerals in ' those three
•Porte. .
. In football he made that power
ful 1925 toaih hb sophomore year
and was an All-Southweet Confer-
M <«e mention at the end poaittei
It was thb first year of varsity
competition that he made a record
of s
ed. The Aggies were pbying the
University of Texas Longhorns on
Kyle Field on Thanksgiving Day.
Sikes intercepted a Texas pass on
the Aggies eight yard strip and
ran 92 yards for a touchdown. The
Aggies won the game 28 to 0. In
hb junior year be eras All-South
west Conference end. In Sikes’
last year of eligibility here he was
a member of that strong 1927
Championship club and won hon
ors as All-Conference I end. All-
American mention and on that big
West team that put the East in the
hob 16 to 8. I * .
Sikes was a star in basketball
aa well In hb freshman year he
eager* won second place in the
conference bst year.
The greatest problem of the
season will be to fill the vacancy
at ceater left by Joe Merka who
has won Ail-Southwest Conference
honors the past three years ia
school as well as receiving All-
American mention last year. Mer
ka has been the most valuable man
to the Aggie squad the past three
years.
Eight lettermen and a number
of squad men and sophomores will
be back. There srfll be a number
of each group that will contest for
the place left vacant by Merka.
Those who start training Thurs
day are: lettermen. Captain Brea-
aeale, Crockett; Carmichael, Lam-
kin; Hutto, Coahoma; Bbby.
Houston; Davis, Amarillo; Stan-
siL Gueyden. La.; Shands and
Noelks, who were on the sqpul
last year, will be back.
Of the sophomores who will
make a bid for the varsity are Hel-
bing. Cox, Evans, Jones, Lee.
Creighton, Black, Sckricwer and
Button. Taylor Wilkina and Max
Tohline will not take part in prac
tice until after the football game
with Michigan State aa San Anto
nio, December 8. *
made hb numeral at the center
position, and eras captain of the
fbh team. In the 1925-26 season
he pbyed forward on the team that
m eight of their games during
the season. In hb junior year he
waa shifted to the center position
where he was recognised aa one
of the leading centers in the con
ference. The leadership shown by
the bnky center caused hb mates
to elect him captain of the ‘27-’28
team. In an attempt to build a bet
ter defense for a team that was
net any too successful, Sikes eras
shifted to the guard position.
Sikes pbyed baseball hb fresh-
mao yuar and lettered in varsity
baseball kb sophomore, junior, and
senior years. The first year on the
varsity he waa a regular first base
man. In the bat two yean he was
td both as a first Barker and
a pitcher. In making a numeral and
three letters in each of the three
sports, football, basketball, and
baseball. Sikas made a record as
great all-around athlete and ac
complished a feat that few have
done either b thb school or ia the
entire conference.
