AUSTIN. Not. M -(Sp«a,l to
THE BattaliohH-Not downhearted
even in face of last week’s 13-to 12
victory over them by the froth
squad, the tjnlvenity of Texas
Longhorns grt in a hard-working
mood aa they prepare for their
game here Thursday with their
traditional enemies, Ai A M.
The team's morale appears the
highest ever, and its physical con
dition is the beat that could be ex
peeled.
That there will be a barrage of
passes in the game became evident
after the work-out Friday. The
Texas aerials will more than likely
come from the hands of Gilly Da
via, B&efus Bryan, and Wally Law
son, who will be piiyipg his last
game for the Orange had White
Bible has been drilling the boys
since the T. C. U. game, building a
special protection around the pass
er, oh the theory that if there is a
receiver in the right plage, the pass
will be complete, for these three
jH-rformers have been lowing a
bit of accuracy. ,
The coach is taking no unneces
sary chances at placing a weak de
fense before the Aggies, but it's
the- Stev offense, not defense,
that he is most concerned with.
Hard work, 1 * be said when asked
what he intended to give his play
ers from now until the game. He
considers Hosier Norton’s Aggie
team one of the strongest any
where, but the Longhorns “will be
ready for them."
A rip-snorting, hurly burly
feud, typical of two yenng and
boisterous institutions, that mel
lowed through the years into a
good-natured ’ ifvslry is the 42-
year-old story of Texas A. A M.
Aggie-University of Texas Long
horn grid relationship. And if the
spirit and determination exhibited
by the Biblenten in yesterday’s
practice, can be taken as an indi
cation, the fans can rest assured
that the Texas Loaghorn won’t be
wearing hn overcoat nett Thurs
day, and he won't be selling water
melons.
