CL “JEEF’ OATES Batts lion Sports Editor We had a feeling in our blood that the Aggie* would get to work ing together sometime this year. Their game Saturday was almost prefect in every respect The block ing was superb and the ball car riers drove through those boles with lots of power. One of the best things that this writer saw was the pU-a^-d press ion on those Aggies’ faces as they came off of the field and were heartily slapped #n the back by Coach Norton. A coach sitting on the bench has more effeet on the boys than one sitting elsewhere, although we grant that he can see what is happening on the field much better from other places high in the stadium. It is s shame that Cordill and Lain were not in the game. Had thgy played in that game it is il most a certainty that they would have been unable to play against the Frogs next week. Your writer was talking with two “Owls 1 ’ who played on the ’S? Cotton Bowl champion team and they both had much praise for Dick Todd. Tom Vickers, trho was a pretty fair country player himself, said, “I have played ball from coast to coast, but Todd is the greatest ball carrier that I have ever seen." The game Saturday marked the bat appearance of 13 of the Aggie players <Jn Kyle Field. All but Paul Wofford played, and pbyed some of the finest football that this writer hm ever witnessed. Todd, Rogers, llittman, Olbrich, Schroe- der, Steffens, Rushing, Bransom, Warden, Cos ton, M innock, and Britt are the ones that wtfend up their career on this historic field. George Bransom was s best-up lad at the end of the game, but Rice will kemember him for a long time. J Dick Todd has never scored a toumiown against a Rice team, but he has done everything else to them and last year he passed for the touchdown. Passing for a score is good enough for this scribe; the passer has as much to do with the score as the guy that ettebes the ball, although Britt did some fight- ing to get that ball last year.

A.*S HIMSELF INTRAMURAL RUMS SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAT BY TOM DARROW Asst. Sports Editor For the first time in the hutory of the school, the Intramural De partment is going to stage a real honest-to-goodness crons country run, Saturday afternoon beginning at 3:00 and lasting for well over an hour. The Claas B run slaris at 3:00, with contestants reporting at Kyle Field at 2:30. The upper classmen will start their meet at 4:00 from the same place. In the past there has been little sense or order to the cross country run because of lack of training on the part of the runners, and be cause of the Urge number of en : tries. Every outfit thought that all the "Fish” should enter; so they did, but the results were nil. “Penny” has been trying to woric out a pbn that would put more in terest and more competition in the ^port, as well as make the event of ^ome benefit to the boys who run. As a result of “Penny’s" efforts there have been several changes pnade in the method of conducting ithe meet. Chief among them is the number of men on g team. For Class B teams, the number of mem bers is limited to at least three and WOE 3 Mfli Number 1 Team Still Out io Front 13 Seniors Play On Kyle Field members of each Class B team have to run the course at least five times before they wOl be allowed to enter the meet Saturday. There is no question but that these new rules will increase the interest and benefit of the event and change it from a disorderly mob into a real athletic contest. If they don’t then there is no need in continuing the meet in the future. BY RALPH INGLBFIELD Picked as the nation's No. 1 team, T. C. U. continued to be out in front by defeating Texas Uni versity 28 to 6. Little Davey O’Brien was, as always, the sttr of the game and Connie Ifigla also kept up his reputation at a ball carrier. S. M. U. showing traces of that once reknowned aerial at tack, emerged victorious ovtr Ark ansas by a It to 8 score. While T. C. U, a M. U., and A.

Little Davey passed 24 times with a completion of 17 for a total of 236 yards. Surging down the field for seventy-eight yards, Connie Sparks, leading scorer of the conference, carried the hall over from the two yard line for the first score. O’Brien kicked the point—the first of four ones.

The third period was barely started before Fnd Shook recov ered a Texas fumble on an at tempted lateral on the Texas 19. Then came the best goad line stand that the Frogs have faced this sea son, trith Sparks barely going over on his fourth try. Capitalising on a self-made break, John Peterson, Texas end, intercepted an attempted Frog lat eral and ran to the 20. From there Davis shot a pass to the one yard marker, which the officials ruled completed because of interference and then he circled end for the lone Longhorn counter. Rushing back into the game, lit tle Duvey immediately racked up the ’final Christian score following three completed passes to reserve ends, Paul Snow and Charlie Wil liams.

MW AXSEAVUIjY HALL Liberty writer still thinks that Er-1 rtie Lain will be the man that will 1 fill “Whixxer” White’s shoes this year. I think that Lain will be lucky if he even gets honorable mention on the conference t.—m after the first two teams are pick ed. Here is a little bit of information to anyone who might be internet- ed. Homer Norton played the game against Rice as he wanted to and will do the same in the Texas game. Some of the guys who have been so free with their advice might do well t* take a few lessons fa) place of giving so much advising. It is about time that the triple let a coach alone and lot hint run his own hall dub. This second-guessing quarter back has nothing to say today. “Slick’’ Rogers and Norton can coll thorn for my money as long as the team plays as it did Saturday. rctfil 4 j il 1 TUBS. - WED. " i Mi .
