ARKANSAS PLATERS PRAISE AGGIES
'l.
‘‘The Anries are the toughest bunch of players we have
run into thin season.’* a member of the Razor back team told
Coach Norton Sunday. 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-

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

Clifford “Frenchy” Domtngue
came to A and M in 1930 after
starring on the Port Arthur Yel
low Jacket eleven that went to the
finals in the State. He was All-
State quarter back his senior year
in high school.
He made a numeral on the fish
football team in 1930, and played
basketball and baseball. 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. With a lame knee he con
tinued to play, but after being
tackled repeatedly by over-anxious
Longhorns he was forced out of
the game in a moot lamentable
ending of his career. If the Flying
* renchman could have remained in
the game it would likely have
made a difference between victory
and a tie.
Domingue played third base for
the Texas Company baseball team
in Fort Arthur thie summer.

REMINISCENCES OF AGGIE ATHLETES
after gain over the Owla. 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. Dom
ingue stepped threw Posy nmn*™
that had eluded Aggie secondaries.
He was one of th* best defensive
safeties in the conference.
The Port Arthur lad saw little
service last ysar do* to iajuries.
He got off to a good atari ia the
game with Tulane at New Orleans,
but was in the game very tittle
until the Thanksgiving game with
the Steers. Injuries kept him from
starting this game but he soon got
his call. The Aggies possseesi the
ball on the Texes 40 yard tine when
