A number of the Arkansan players said they were hit harder Saturday and were nearer to be ing off their feet when the game was orer than in any ga they had played in this season. Such a compliment speak* doubly well when you remember that Saturday was the ne est ideal football weather that has been had this season. Too. the Razorbacks are a senior club, and they are capable of commenting on tough ball dubs. Fans were remarking about the improvement of the club over the last appearance at Kyle Fields That fighting spirit that has so long characterized Aggie, teams was all the talk as the crowd left the stands Saturday. Lloyd Greg ory. Post Sports Editor, remarked in the press bei that it could hardly be recognized as the same team that piayK against T. C. U. two weeks ago. NORTON TO WORK ON OFFENSE Although he is not aatiiflod coach Norton ia pleased with the improvement of the Aggie de fense*. More time will be spent on the improvement of the offense as the coaches swing into a week of intensive training workouts. Block ing and more blocking will be done before the team packs tip for a trip to Dallas. Of course, the defense will not be neglected because the Methodists have »he best passing team in the conference, and a good running at tack. Bob Wilson, half back, ia the conferences' leading scorer and can throw nasaes better than Joe Jack Pearce of Baylor. Bill Couaer, who has been ia the Aggie offense most of the season will be ia good Shape to start the game Saturday. “Muggins" Fow ler, whose passing area a major feature in the game Saturday, will be ready for action. The hustling Jack StringfeUowt who amds a bea utiful run after receiving Fowler’s pass put the Aggies in scoring po sition. Jack saved the day in the last quarter whet he batted down an Arkansas pass that would have been good for a touchdown. It was s spectacular play. Pitner, Thomp son, Cummings, and Kimbrough will all be available for the ponies. HUBBARD’S LINE SHOWS MARKED IMPROVEMENT That old Aggie line coached by Cal Hubbard is looking better ev ery game. The ends, who were s serious problem at first, are be ginning to look like seasoned play ers. The injury of Bob Conolley 'will hurt this situation consider ably. -He was going down on the punts, and getting his tackle be fore the safety man could get started. Bob was making a des perate try for s pass when he fell and hurt his shoulder. How long he will be out is not yet known. The tackles were charging hard and battling all the way. The line was out-hustling the Arkmneas line to recover all the Arkansas fum bles. John Crow, the hard working guard, gat some good tackles. The line baekiig of Charley DeWare was good, and improvement over last week eras very noticeable. The Ksiorbscks’ line was tough, and it was a real fight down on that line of scrimmage when those two teams hit. ‘ ‘ \ . .H PLAYERS INTEREST OUTSTANDING stead of coming out to practice like it was a few hours of drudgery they are liking it. Too much can not be said for those who come out all the time and cannot play. These players keep those who are on the team hustling for their places be cause in order to get a chance to play the individual must “put out." The improved team spirit w noticeable to everyone, and it is largely due to such a spirit that the team has kept on fighting al though the score has been in favor of tbe opponents. For the third time this year the Aggies came from behind either to tie the score or to win. The Aggies came from behind in the game with A and I to tie them 14 to 14. Over at Bay lor September 29 the Aggies came from behind in the last quater to beat the Bruins 10 to 7. Here last Saturday the Farmers never quit fighting, even when Arkansas held a touchdown lead since the second quarter, and in the last 6 minutes to play they were rewarded when they scored a touchdown to tie the score. . T The team looks good in the game, because they are looking better sad showing a greater in terest and spirit in practice. In- Maroon and White Gridsters Will Face Hardest Game of Season With Sat. Ponies Will Have Experienced Men To Put On Field Improved Aggie Defense To Make Scoring Difficult For Red and Blue When that group of Fighting Fanners, coached by Homer H. Norton and Cal Hnbbnrd, dashes out on the SMU gridiron at Dal las Saturday afternoon, November 10, they will be facing the hardest conference competition they have experienced this season. Thors is raft of experienced material at SMU this season with Ray Mor rison, All-American passing coach directing the baekfleld, «nd Matty Bell, head coach here last year, who has a great record as a de fensive coach, tutoring the line. The Ponies humiliated the Ford- ham Rams in New York two weeks ago, and did their damage more fuuphg,plays than on thoir more famous aerial attack. They tied Texas at Austin last Saturday, and there the only touchdown was > on a rtm, with their passing not so effective. Yet on the other 1, at Rice, in the first confer ence game of the season, the Mus tangs were forced to make all their gains from the air as their run ning attack was completely stop ped by the Rice Owls. Hie defense of the Aggies has been improving and the Ponies are not likely to do much scoring against the Cadets. The line is faster and hustling every minute of the game. The ends are rush ing down on the punts, and down- the runners before they have returned the ball any considerable distance. The tackling is improv ing with every game. In the game against the Rnsorbacks the tacti ers were coming in hard and taro -t- — MARATHONERS WILL compete at Texas IN DDALMRBTING Coach Frank Anderson, and eight members of his cross country track team srill go to 4**tin Fri day, November 9, to run the Uni. varsity of Texas harriers ia a dual ret there.

In his first ysar of varsity competition he waa a star. His first intersectional rec ognition came when the Aggies wont to New Orleans for a game with the Tulane Green Wave. Al though the team went down ia de feat, Doraingue was a star. He hit openings in the Wpve for consist ent gains. On to Shreveport and the Flying Frenchman starred again. In the first conference game at home he showed up well before an Aggie crowd by reeling off gam ! , - ' ™ til ho raced over the goal for a hdown; then he kicked the ex tra point.

I Then came the Texas U game, a team he always looked good against. The Agfiee were rated the underdogs and for a time were trailing the Steers 6 to 0, until the crafty little Domingue stepped over the Texaa goal line for a touchdown, then kicked the extra point to win the game t to 6. Domingue waa on tho basketball and baseball squads his sophomore [• year. Frenqhy started his junior year off with a flash by again starring in another tussle with the 6: Wave. From his performance ia that game, and th* game the year before, Don Zimmerman. All-Am erican end, who played havoc with the Aggies every: year paid the versatile Aggie back a high tri bute. He said that Domingue had one fault and that Waa consistently stepping to the right, but knowing that weakness he waa the hardest man to stop that he had ever play ed against. ‘ When the Aggies played SMU in 1932-it was a scoreless tie.
