ON
KYLE FIELD
Conference Record Due To Fall

Reams of copy could be written
on the Santa Clara game and the
trip to Frisco, but we will have to
let it go and say that it was an en
joyable trip, and the Aggies met
and defeated a strong ball club.
Moser and Conatser had ‘off' nights
and -did not play up to standard,
but the stellar play of John Kim
brough, Thomason, Marshall Rob-
nett, Joe Boyd, Ernie Pannell and
Herb Smith more than made up for
it.
The next opponents will be “Clip
per” Smith’s Villanova Wildcats at
Tyler Saturday. They are as rough
a bunch of boys as you will see
playing football. They are noted
all over America for.their rough
ness. It is taught them just as de
fense is taught.
They are rated much higher than
Norton’s charges. To sum it up in
the words of Harry Faulkner, the
fellow who scouted the Cats last
week, “I am like the farmer who
saw a giraffe for the first time.
There just ain’t no such animal.”
He said they used so many format
ions and so much stuff that it
would take five coaches and ten
stenogs to take it all down.
To make matters worse, Boyd,
Ed Robnett and Price are not in
condition to play, although Boyd
would play if h^ had both arms
off.
Take it from a guy who knows,
and don’t believe any of the wild
tales that Bodie Pierce is telling.
He just had a bad dream.
You might ask Derace Moser
which kind of a tackle he prefers,
the kind Schiechl hit him with on
the field or the kind that Naomi
Anderson, a cute Palo Alto frill,
hit him with at the Sky Room.
The reason for the change in sche
dule coming back was that with a
broken engine the train was two
hours late getting to Clovis, New
Mexico, and then with a good
freight engine we were four hours
late at Caldwell. The coach pro
bably thought that the Santa Fe
would never make it to Houston,
so he had busses to pick the party
up at Caldwell.
Saint Mary’s tried the “doule-
shuffle” against California last
Saturday and it wouldn’t work for
them either. They butt their heads
into a wall twice and then put out
on the Coast. The team that wins
is the team that gets the breaks.
When Dawson kicked the extra
point against the Broncs, the ball
went about 20 feet over the up
rights and landed in a drunk’s lap.
The drunk took a liking for the
ball and did not want to give it up.
With only 20 seconds, which is
normally time for only one play,
A. & M. Picked
Over Villanova
By Williamson
By Paul B. Williamson
Well, it almost looks like this
football business of outraging pub
lic opinion and the experts (so-
called) is here to stay. Instead of
getting better last week, as the
Williamson system .hoped, it got
worse. The system went down with
the rest on the outstanding sur
prises, but fortunately picked a
number of winners correctly
against concensus.
Some of the successful picks
were Texas over Wisconsin, Tex
as A. & M. over Santa Clara and
others.
Here are the picks for this week.
Teams in caps are favored.
TEXAS A. & M. 88.9, Villanova
87.9
T. C. U. 87.1, Temple 82.6
DUKE 97.1, Pittsburgh 96.7 T
S. M. U. 90.4, NOTRE DAME 92.6
T
L. S. U. 94.0, Rice 85.1
TULANE 92.6, Fordham 88.9 T
PURDUE 92.0, Minnesota 90.9 T
OHIO ST. 94.1, Northwestern 88.0
ALABAMA 91.0, Mercer 61.6
ARKANSAS 88.7, Baylor 87.6 T
OKLAHOMA 95.3, Texas 86.6
TEXAS A. & I. 69.1, Sam Houston
65.9
TULSA 83.9, Oklahoma Ags 73.7
(T after teams means possible
tie or reverse).
Some of the ratings on teams
have been changed since the rating
table came out Tuesday. This is
caused because more information
has come in and because every
closely rated game is not always a
toss-up. This is shown by the fact
that Texas A. & M. was rated next
to last in the Tuesday rating, in
their conference. At this writing
they rate the top berth in the con
ference.
Governor Wilson of Iowa par
doned M. T. Grattan, 91, a Union
veteran in prison for manslaughter
so he could attend a G.A.R. en
campment.
Manley Hayes, who left home
four years before his brother Alvin
was born, saw the latter for the
first time at a family reunion in
Lena, 111., recently.
to go, the Cadets ran three plunges
against the Broncs. Thomason, who
was calling signals, tried to stall
and told the officials to go ahead
and penalize, but they wouldn’t do
it, instead they stopped the clock.
Out there officials are just men
in the way. You can knock a man
into the next country and they
would never see it. Maybe that is
better than seeing too much . .'.

Pugh Hit Top Form on West
Coast To Win Game For A. & M.
By Jimmie Cokinos
Marion “Dookie” Pugh is the
boy who threw the touchdown pass
to Thomason for the only score in
the Santa Clara game, to help
give the Aggies a 7-3 victory over
the Broncs. He has finally hit his
best form as he played an out
standing game on the west coast
for the Cadets. Pugh replaced
“Cotton” Price who was hurt in
the Centenary game and was not
able to play Friday night.
“Dookie” was the leader in the
pass throwing department last sea
son for the Aggies according to
the game statistics. His average
shows that he completed 14 passes
out of 30, giving him a .467 per
centage.
Last season due to a series of
injuries, Pugh was never in tip-top
shape and was not able to play in
many games. But he played enough
time to gain a letter. This year he
is not handicapped with injuries
and should see much service in
the backfield as he is a triple
threat man and can be of good use
to the Aggies in their conference
drive.
Pugh weighs 185 pounds, stands
6.1, and is 20 years old. He at
tended North Side high school in
Fort Worth where he played foot
ball, basketball, track and base
ball. He won three letters each in
football and basketball, two in
track, and one in baseball. In 1936
he was one of the outstanding high
Baylor Bears Clash
With Razorbacks Of
Arkansas Saturday
The Baylor Bears will get their
first real test of the season at
Waco Saturday when they go up
against the Arkansas Razorbacks
in their initial conference tilt of
the year.
The Bruins were far from im
pressive in their encounter with
the Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys
last weekend as they had to strug
gle hard to come’through with a
13 to 0 win over the Oklahoma
eleven. On the other hand, the
Porkers came back strong to edge
past the T. C. U. Frogs with a
well-earned 14 to 13 triumph.
Saturday’s game will be the turn
ing point for the Bears as the
Southwest grid fans will get a good
chance to see what Coach Morley
Jennings is going to have at the
Waco school this fall.
Arkansas, which was badly crip
pled for its tilt with the Frogs,
is expected to be ready for the
Baylor engagement this week and
the big question is whether the
Bruins wil be able to stand up
against the pass-throwing Razor-
backs headlined by Ray Eakin, a
great triple threater; Ray Cole,
standout defensive performer and
two great sophomore ends. Bill
Sotherland and O’Neill Adams.
Much of the Baylor strength
will depend on sophomores Jack
Wilson and Dwight Parks and it
is hard to fully determine how
they will come through against
the powerful grid aggregation from
the Ozarks. But in front of them
will be a stout forward wall that
has yet to let a score slip through
their defensive formations. It will
be the Bear’s great defensive play
against the pass-minded Porkers
and both teams will have a good
chance to come through with a
win.
CONSOLIDATED P.T.A.
TO MEET THURSDAY
The Parent-Teacher Association
of the A. & M. Consolidated school
will have the regular meeting on
Thursday at 3 o’clock in the as
sembly room of the high school.
A program, “The Match and the
Mouse,” will be presented, featur
ing a skit by members of the fifth
grade. A display of safety posters
by third and fifth grade pupils
will be exhibited.
Miss Carleen Bright is teacher
of the fifth grade, and Miss Va
leria Padgett of the third grade.
H. R. Brayton will be the speaker
of the meeting.
King Feisai of Irak, not yet 5
years old, can speak English and
Turkish in addition to Arabic, his
native tongue.
school stars and was selected as
a back on the All-State team. He
received all-district football honors
in his junior and seniors years. He
was captain of the football and
baseball teams in his senior year.
He entered A. & M. in 1937 and
continued where he left off in high
school by winning freshman numer
als in football, baseball, and track.
He also tried his hand at fisli
basketball but needed two more
minutes of playing time to win a
numeral in that sport.
Dutch Meyer Looks
Over Frog Freshman
Squad of Current Year
There is a gleam in the eyes of
Coach Leo R. (Dutch) Meyer these
days. And it’s not caused by any
thing that the Horned Frogs of
1939 have done.
Meyer has been looking over the
prospective Frogs of 1941; ’41 and
’42—in other words, the Freshman
squad of the current season.
A few boys who made names
for themselves in high school com
petition and a lot of big boys who
haven’t been in the headlines but
look as though they could play
football, make up the lot.
Coach Meyer isn’t particularly
concerned about whether a boy is
famous or not if he is big and rug
ged, intelligent and loves to play
football.
“We’ve had a lot of boys go to
town for us who had never been
heard of outside their home towns,”
he comments. “Logan Ware, our
No. 1 right half this year, is a
good example. Logan played with
a class C high school but he’s really
class A with us how.”
FISH DOWN ALLEN
RAMBLERS, 19 to 7
The Aggie Fish squad trampled
the Allen Ramblers under foot for
a 19 to 7 victory, on Forest Field
in Bryan, Monday night for the
annual Allen Academy game.
Gaining a lead of 7 to 6 by the
half, the Allen boys showed a great
deal of fight and a very strong
line, with Jones and Martin play
ing nice ball in the backfield. Tyn-
dal in the second quarter of the
game intercepted a pass and raced
across the Aggie goal line for the
first score of the game. Tyndal in
turn kicked the pigskin for the
extra point.
The Ramblers in the lead, the
fish revived and from the half on
it was the Aggie’s game, with
Templeton opening the aerial at
tack and Beard and Ferell as re
ceivers. Templeton’s were almost
perfect. Zapalac proved his worth
in running and blocking.
The Aggie fish outplayed the
Ramblers both in running and
passing with a lead of 142 yards
rushing and 138 yards passing.
Aggie fish who made the markers
were Ferell, Pickett, and Beard,
with Zapalac making the extra
point.
The game was fast and although
the players were somewhat “but
terfingered”, that could only be
expected in their first game. Out
of 59 Aggie fish in uniform, 41
had a try at the Allen boys. Many
showed up as good prospects for
later in the season and for the
three years to come.
With Penberthy as referee, Bur
ges as umpire, Elkins as headlines-
man, and Barron as field judge, the
game was carried on in an orderly
fashion.
INTRAMURALS
With Hub Johnson
Bob Langsdale led H Infantry to
a victory over the 3rd Combat
Train yesterday evening to put
the starting spark in his ‘paddle-
foot’ team in their first basketball
game of the season. In the first
quarter he scored four field goals
and three free throws from fouls,
a total of eleven points.
The Class A tennis matches start
this evening to add another sport
to the list of those for upperclass
men. This year “A” Field Artil
lery, strong contenders, in the sec
ond contenders, in the second round.
C Cavalry, runners up in ’38,
meets 2 Hq Field Artillery in the
second round after drawing a ‘by’.
The horsemen have been spotted
in the lower brackets with the
cannoners in the upper.
In the first basketball game of
the year, E Field Artillery led by
A. K. Adams, W. T. Thrift, and
Johnnie Patterson downed B In
fantry with a score of 10 to 6.
Second Headquarters Field Ar
tillery scored a victory over C
Engineers Monday night with a
close score of 13 to 8. High point
man for the Artillery boys was
‘Tony’ Reyes, marking up seven
points with R. W. Baggaley scor
ing four points for Company C.
E Engineers won their first foot
ball game over C Coast Artillery
early this week with four 40 yard
penetrations and three for 20
yards, to a marrless sheet for
their opponents.
John Link led C Field Artillery
to a 6 to 0 victory over B Troop
Cavalry with four penetrations for
40 yards and three for 20 yards.
There will be a meeting of all
freshmen intramural managers in
the Assembly Hall this evening at
5 o’clock. It is very important that
all Class B managers be present.
Many games scheduled for the
week-end have been postponed un
til later dates due to the large
number of students going to Tyler
for the Villanova game.
The noted game of the week is
the one between K Infantry and
B Field Artillery. The buggy boys
held the riflemen to a scoreless
first half and registered six points
for themselves but the Infantry
team returned in the later half
with B. H. Williams leading the
rally and downed the Artillery boys
11 to 7. The one point made for
B Battery was made by Joe Well
born on a foul shot.
Noticed leading the famed E
Field Artillery Battery which in
past years was noted for its strong
intramural teams is Jimmie Cok
inos, a transfer from Battery A.
Maybe this will change the luck
for the boys. Jimmie was on many
of the champ teams last year.
FARM POPULATION
AGAIN NEARS PEAK
FIGURE SET IN 1910
The farm population of the
United States on January 1, 1939,
was close to the largest on record,
according to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics, and totaled
32,059,000 people.
The all-time high was 32,077,000
in 1910. From 1910 to 1927 there
was a decline of almost 2,000,000
in the farm population. Most of
this loss has now been regained.

Aggies Risk Clean Slate
Against Unbeaten Kittens
By Jeep Oates
The conference teams hope to
keep up their last week’s record
again this weekend, but it will be
much tougher, and for them to do
it there will have to be some up
sets. First the Aggies have one of
the strongest teams in the nation
to meet, a team that has not lost
a game since 1936, and a team that
has nine two-year lettermen. Add
ed to this they have several other
one-year lettermen.
Coach “Clipper” Smith is on his
way to Tyler, where the two clubs
will meet Saturday afternoon, now
with a record o£ 19 wins and three
ties. For two seasons it is pretty
good in any book.
The only place the Wildcats are
weaker this year is at end, caused
by the graduation of John
Wysocki, stellar end of last year’s
team who was named on many All-
American selections. Walt Nowak,
a two-year letterman is back to
take his place, however.
Smith uses almost a dozen for
mations similar to the old Notre
Dame system and if the officials
will let it go he will develop as
much power out of it as Knute
Rockne ever did.
From the Aggies’ side of it is
seen that they have a record of
winning in the Rose Festival and
they will be out to keep that re
cord clean. They are not in the best
of shape after their long and tire
some trip to San Francisco. Mar
shall Robnett, Joe Boyd, Walemon
Price, John Kimbrough, Ed Rob
nett, Bill Conatser, and Derace
Moser all have either injuries or
bad colds.
It is doubted that Price will be
able to play before the T.C.U.
game the following week. The rest
of them will probably play, al
though they will not be able to go
at full speed.
OTHER GAMES
Texas tangles with Oklahoma,
one of the top ranking teams of
the country. Coach Bible is doped
to lose his first game of the year
in this fracas.
Rice is picked to suffer their
second defeat when they tangle
with the Bengals of L.S.U. Young
Bussey and Ken Kavanaugh will
prove too much for Ernie Lain
and Ollie Cordill.
S. M.U. picks on a tough custom
er when they mix it with Notre
Dame and they did not show too
well against the Teachers last
week. Notre Dame will roll on and
the Ponies will bounce back and
be tough the next week.
T. C. U. plays Temple Friday
night and they should take up
where they left off with them last
season. That was so far ahead of
►the Owls that they haven’t found
out where the Frogs did stop.
Baylor mixes with Arkansas in
the only conference tilt. Last week
Arkansas took the conference lead
with a win over T. C. U. and they
will be trying to make it two in a
row against the Bears. On the
other hand the people will get a
chance to see what Baylor has
against some real competition.
They have a flock of sophomores
who have been highly touted. On
a dry field the Porkers will be
favored. In the mud it will be
Baylor.
