Meyer’s aggregation by any means.
After Davey O'Brien had passed
the Christians up to the Marquette

once himself and passing to Hall
the second time, the Toads calmed
: down until the final .period when
they again scored on an O’Brien

were kicked by O’Brien.

A great, Mashing, tearing Aggie
eleven did everything but literally
bury the Baylor Bears in Waco

"Boomer’’ Kimbrough, drove their
way down to the Bear goal line,

P« rath' Bruins. The cadets never
looked better, and they gave the
fans an exhibition of power plays,
the like of which has never been
seen la thiq section. ,
Todd wag an All-American, just
ds he has been all along. The Bears
could never tell where he was for
he put on a show of running that
will be long remembered in Waco.
John Kimbrough** took up where
Todd left off and ran at will
through thfe Baylor line. He also
enabled Todd to get away on long
runs by platting on some great
bard blocking. At times he took
two men at a time out of the pUy.
Rogers called one of the greatest
games of his career and turned in
some fancj stepping.
The entire Aggie line pas out

Aggie Team Plays Hard On Muddy
Field Against Bears Saturday
BY B. C. "JKKP" OATES
Battalion Sports Editor
About all we
king our pra
praises to that group
of Aggies who played their hearts
out on that muddy field at Waco
Saturday. George Branaom played
the gume of his life at tackle. Joe
Boyd continued his All-Conference
brand of playing. Tommie Vaughn
played a bang up game. “Korky”
Steffens was plenty good. Dick
Todd, “Slick*’ Rogers, John Kim
brough, and Tommie Thomason
were outstanding. The latter four
mentioned would form the b<-*t
backfield in the conference. This
would give them two seniors and
two sophomores. These twu sophs
deserve lots of credit. /
The fd ♦wing s a clipping taken
I from the Waco News-Tribune of
Monday. It is by our old friend
I Jinx Tuckers.
We tkiak that as the
Pregresses the A. A M. run
ning game is goiag to get bet
ter sad that the passiag will
also improve. The Farmers had
so much nophossors talent ut
bund that it was hard te gut
the bc-t combination together.
Whatever combination the Ag-
gies will have from new on
must include John Kimbrough.
The Artne passing will also got
better and Wo predict that
wketi the sub seta Thanka-
Rivin* afternooa you will bu
able to call the A. * M. team
of this year the greatest Aggie
of all time, despite the
fast that it won t wia the title.
The play of the battUag Farm
ers here Saturday should sil
ence forever the wolves among
the Aggie alumni who have
been crying for the scalp of
another fine loader. BR1 Jaaaes*

George White, the pports editor
of the Dallas News, is at last sold
on Ilkk Todd. White c+uld have
helped: Dick during the last
yean if he had not been so thick
headed. He is still not sold on
Davey O’Brien, wko is one of the
finest backs in America today. Any
one who doe* not go tp S. M. U.
just doesn’t irate any of White’s
publicity. An ordinary player at
S. M. U^ is blqwn to the sky by
this writer. This is algo the case
around Houston where pome of the
most ordinary players- have boon

year’s great machine and they can

Their record to date this year
is about as tn|lnioiVu as that of
the Aggies, but whfn they play
that game Saturday we think that
they will look more like the Aggie
Rouble shuffle”.
Kay Eakin, passer deluxe,

are the two men that the Aggies
will have to watch. The Cadets are
playing now with the idea of get

The Passingwst- Team in the

Arkansas is rated as a weaker
team this year. They lost the beet
pair of ends and two of the beet
backs in the conference lost year.
These four mea cannot be replaced
in one year.

Collier’s picks them,’ Was Schoon
