They are singing the blues up
at the Frog haunts this week and
rightly so. In the past three games
they have gained more yardage
than their opponents, and only
seven points have kept them from
winning all three contests.
Here is where the blues come
in. The Aggies will be in Fort
Worth Saturday to outgain them
and lick them before their entire
student body as well as before
Amon Carter, himself. It has been
many a long year since the Cadets
registered a win in Cowtown, but
there has always got to be a be
ginning, and there is no year like
the present.
T.C.U. Star
It has not been this column’s pol
icy to attempt to pick winners
this year, but then it can’t do
worse than some of the high-
priced pickers. “Rock” Audish
says I am a jinx so I will just
pick them the opposite way.
Here they ARE:
T. C. U. 13; A. & M. 7.
Baylor 15; Nebraska 10.
Sam Houston 20; Rice 6.
Marquette 14; S. M. U. 6.
Arkansas 13; Texas 12.
This is the way they look to
a guy whq is a jinx.

And now back to the trip to
Frisco. Many letters have been
received from people who rode the
same train with the players and
from hotel managers and traveling
passenger agents for the railroads.
They all have much praise for the
way the Aggie players acted on
the trip. They conducted them
selves as any mother would want
her boy to.
They are boys who give the
school a good name over the coun
try as well as many of the cadets.

James Thomason
Is Quarterback
For Aggie Squad
By Jimmie Cokinos
James Thomason, who hails from
Brownwood, is one of the best
blockers on the Aggie grid squad.
Playing his second year for the
Aggies, Thoma
son is not only
filling the block
ing assignments
but has been
shifted over to do
the quarterback’s
job of calling
plays. He made
his debut as a
quarterback. i n
the Santa Clara
game when he
replaced “Cotton”
Price who was on the injured
list. Norton was so pleased with
Thomason’s performance that he
let “Tommie” do the signal call
ing in the Villanova game last
Saturday. He is doing a heads up
job in his new role and will prob
ably be the starting quarterback
when A. & M. tackles the T.C.U.
Frogs this Saturday.
Thomason received the “Bert
Pfaff Trophy” last year, which is
given to the best blocker on the
team. He is also a strong con
tender for the same honors this
year as he loves to “mow ’em
down” and receives a great pleas
ure in this body bruising capacity.
Not only is Thomason noted for
his blocking ability but he is equal
ly good on defensive work as he
is one of the best line backers
in the conference. He is a fairly
good runner and last year had an
average of five yards whenever he
carried the ball. He lost only
five yards all season. His punting
was good as he had an average of
40 yards per try in this depart
ment.
Thomason stands 5 foot 11 inches
with a heft of 200 pounds. He was
on the track team last spring and
in the chore of putting the shot
won his second letter, when he
annexed the southwest conference
championship in this field event.
Coming to A. & M. from the
Brownwood high school where he
made the all-district team in his
junior and senior years he went out
for freshman sports and won
numerals in football and track. In
high school he received letters in
football for three years, two in
track and one in basketball. He
was captain of his football and
track teams in his senior year.
Whenever the fleet Aggie backs
start on their long jaunts watch
for James Thomason as he is in
there clearing the way in order
that the ball carriers may be shak
en loose for their gains.

The main attraction in the
Southwest Saturday will be the
fray between the Texas Aggies
and the T. C. U. Horned Toads
in Fort Worth. Other minor at
tractions will be Texas and Ark
ansas, Rice and Sam Houston, and
S. M. U. and Marquette. Baylor
bites off a big chunk by taking
on Nebraska.
Statistically the Aggies are fav
ored to win. They have amassed
49 first downs and held the op
position to 16, they have a net
gain of 583 yards from scrimmage
while their opponents were col
lecting 205, they have netted 360
yards on passes to 105 for the op
position. The Aggies have made
over three times as much ground
as their opponents.
The new Aggie record is that
they have passed 78 times and
completed 39 of them for a per
centage of .500, the best in cadet
history.
T. C. U. has made 46 first
downs while their opponents were
making 30, they have gleaned 314
yards rushing to 372 for the op
position, they mave made 588 yards
on passing and held their oppon
ents to 148. They have completed
15 out of 34 passes.
A. & M. is in as good physical
shape as they have been in for
some time. T. C. U. is also in
excellent shape except for their
passer Jack Odle who is out for
the season with a broken thumb
on his pitching hand.
Rice has the only breather on
its schedule this week when they
take on Sam Houston. It will give

■the Owls a chance to ease up be
fore they meet Fordham. The Owls
should win in a walk.
Texas and Arkansas have a great
battle in store. Last year Arkan
sas scored 40 points against the
“Cousins” of the conference and
this year the Steers will be out
for revenge. Texas will no doubt
take the Porkers with Crain and
Davis doing the scoring.
S.M.U. gets a little ease-up in
the Marquette game, but if they
ease too much it will be “lights
out” for the Mustangs.
Baylor, riding high on her re
cord, will have a tough customer
in Nebraska. Baylor has the sur
prise team of the conference and
they may have enough surprise to
take the Huskers. It will be a
close fight all the way with either
team having a chance until the
last play.
