he. Always on the go, but any

The team practiced in El Paso
Tuesday night and in Los Angeles
last night. All the boys seemed to
be in good shape except Price, so
it looks as though Jeffrey will
start the game.
A brown football instead of a
white one will be used in the game
tomorrow night. Coach L. T.
“Buck” Shaw of the Santa Clara
Broncs is holding the Aggie team
to the rule that a tan football must
be used unless coaches consent to
the use of a white one.
It’s a different kind of football
when you ask the coach to cut you
off the traveling squad, especial-

JIMMIE PARKER
ALMOST MISSED
TEAM SPECIAL
Near catastrophe was avoided
Monday night by Gus Bates’ mad
race to Houston.
Jimmie Parker, our likeable team
manager from Garland, was almost
left behind on the above night
when the streamliner left here car
rying the Aggie football team to
California.
During the process of boarding
the train on the run, the bags were
being thrown on by the freshmen
and Jimmie was on the platform
catching them. Bates hand seem
ed to intercede and the last bag
fell short.
According to reports, Jimmie
was told by one of the railroad
men to jump off and get it while
they held the train. He jumped, but
as he ran back; less than a car
length the train pulled out and
left him holding the bag. He raced
back to the station and caught
Coach Marty Karow at the plat
form.
Having failed in their efforts to
have the train stopped at Nava-
sota, Marty, Jimmy and the bag all
piled into Gus Bates’ sport road
ster and headed for Houston.
They reached Navasota in time
to see the streamliner flash
through; their arrival in Hemp
stead was more timely but the
train didn’t stop, so they continued
their mad rush to Houston and ar
rived only ten minutes behind the
train.
Coach Norton had been wired
that the car was coming and was
prepared to stall the departure of
the coastward bound streamliner
until Jimmie’s arrival. This proved
unnecessary however, as the local
agent had made arrangements to
hold the train twenty minutes in
the connection.
There would have been one very
disappointed Aggie on our campus
had the connection not been made,
for he has worked \hard to earn
the trip and we all know the dis
appointment that he would have
felt had he been left behind.

ly when the team is headed to
sunny California. John “Bubba”
Reeves, guard, thinks his studies
in Civil Engineering are more im
portant to him than the trip West.
“Bubba” asked Coach Norton to
replace him by Howard Shelton,
squadman center, so that he might
help keep his “Blue Boys” in con
dition. This change was made after
the traveling list was posted.
H. B. McElroy of the Publicity
Dept says, “The next time you see
an Aggie Football game watch for
No. 24—that’s “Bubba” Reeves,
captain of the “Blue Boys”. Give
him a hand, for he’s all right.

Baylor Bears Tackle
Oklahomans Saturday
The Baylor Bears will go out
after their second win of the year
Saturday when they go up against
the Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys
in Stillwater.
The • Bruins were none too im
pressive in their 34 to 0 win over
Southwestern . last weekend, and
head coach Morley Jennings spent
the entire week ironing out the
numerous flaws in the Baylor play.
The Baptist gridders showed
plenty of power at times on both
their passing and running plays
against the weaker Southwestern
eleven, but the Baylor coaches were
not fully satisfied with the per
formance of their charges and are
looking for the Bears to make a
better showing against the Okla
homa eleven.
Baylor sophomores played a big
part in the Bears’ opening game,
as Jack Wilson and Dwight Parks
both gave a good account of them
selves while they were in the game.
Bear veterans came through with
standout performances in the for
ward wall, and if the Baylor eleven
’can get an even break in their
overhead play, the Oklahoma A.
& M. team may be in for a rough
afternoon.
Pass Is Safer
Than Ground Play,
Says Dutch Meyer
Dave O’Brien Might Not
Have Been All-American
Anywhere Else, He Says
The football pass is less danger
ous and treacherous than ground
plays, in the opinion of L. R.
(Dutch) Meyer, coach of the un
defeated 1938 football team at
Texas Christian University.
In most parts of the Southwest,
Meyer said in an article in the
latest issue of the Saturday Even
ing Post, “the pass is a normal
part of the offense, not a danger
ous maneuver to be used sparingly
and in faint hope,” and he backs
that up with the figures that in
1938 the Frogs passed 229 times
and in 11 games lost the ball only
seven times by interception, but
17 times by fumbles.
“Throughout 1938 p£.ss plays
were the safest thing we tried,”
Meyer says in the article.
“Only two things are necessary
to unlimber the bombers: One is
to have a team on the field. The
other is to have possession of the
leather anywhere on the field.
“Mind you, I do not contend that
a team can get out there and play
catch all afternoon. Many an ene
my outfit, with a fast and smart
defense, will have you eating pass
es before quitting time if you can’t
do anything but peg to second
base. You must be able to go places
on the ground, too. But, in our re
cent experiences passes have been
less dangerous and less treacher
ous than ground plays.
“The necessity of a well-rounded
offense is becoming more obvious
every season.”
Dave O’Brien, the passing sensa
tion of 1938, might not have made
the team anywhere else in the
United States, according to Meyer.
“He is a top hand in all depart
ments, as fans of the Philadelphia
Eagles will discover this fall,”

A. & M. Predicted
To Clip Santa Clara
In Friday Game
By PAUL B. WILLIAMSON
In 281 games, including late re
turns from the previous week and
Sunday games, the Williamson sys
tem was 85 per cent correct on
predictions. That was a big come
down from the previous week, when
the percentage was 93. The drop
was due to many flukey scores
that surprised everybody.
This week the System surely
ought to beat last week’s, even if it
starts with the following picks
against popular fancy:
Oklahoma to barely bottle up De
Correvant and company at North
western.
Marquette over Kansas State.
St. Mary’s of Texas over Toledo.
Texas over Wisconsin by a hair.
Kentucky over Vanderbilt, after
so long a time.
Other close contests should be
Fordham over Alabama, Navy
over Virginia, Texas Mines over
Hardin-Simmons, Tulane over Au
burn, Trinity of Texas over Mc-
Murry, and St. Edwards over
Southwestern of Texas.
Easier to easy winners should be
T. C. U. over Arkansas, Mississippi
State over Florida, Holy Cross
over L. S. U., Texas Tech over
Gonzaga, and Texas A. & M. over
Santa Clara.

says the article. “But many coaches
would have hesitated because of
his size which would have been
of little value in a pure smash
ing game. It is likely that both
Baugh (Slingin’ Sammy) and O’
Brien reached full flower as foot
ballers because of their time and
place—not because they played on
our teams necessarily, but because
they played in our section.”

The Aggies will be fighting a
rough fight from the starting
whistle to the sound of the gun
Friday night as they face the
Santa Clara Broncos. With a 7 to
0 win over the Aggies last year,
Santa Clara will be on her toes
and confident of another victory.
Besides the victory over the Aggies
the Broncos have a tie on her hands
from last week and this will only
make the Broncos more determined
to win.
Besides being a fast shifty team
the Broncs proved themselves well
equipped in the art of tossing the
pig-skin in last weeks game. San
to Clara’s aerial attack clicked
perfectly, resulting in a score in
the first quarter of the game a-
gainst Utah University.
Johnson is one man on the Bron
cos team to be watched. After
bringing the ball from the mid strip
of the field to Utah’s 25 yard line,
Johnson then passed to Heiser who
lateraled to Roche who made his
way down to the 9 yard marker.
Roche then took another pass for
a touchdown. Johnson also kicked
the extra point.
The Aggies are in top shape ex
cept for Price, and he ought to ar
rive in California ready for the
Friday game.
Probable line up from last week’s
showing.

O Camels burned slower than any

than the average time of the 15 other
of the largest-selling brands! By
burning 25% slower, on the average,
Camels give smokers the equivalent
of 5 extra smokes per pack!
■O In the same tests. Camels held

LLOYD CHILD at Buffalo Airport, scene of his recent world record power-dive
— more than 575 m.p.h. in the Curtiss Hawk 75-A—pauses to give his slant on
cigarettes: "I’ve smoked Camels for about fifteen years. I knew that they were the
long-burning cigarette. That means more smoking for my money. On a pack of
twenty, as those scientific reports show, it’s like getting five extra smokes per pack.
It’s the right kind of smoking, too—mild and swell, cooler, non-irritating, better for
my kind of steady, day-after-day smoking.” Don’t miss the fun of smoking Camels!
Enjoy their matchless blend of choice tobaccos... while enjoying the economy of that
long-burning feature that makes Camels "penny for penny your best cigarette buy.”
