liil ON KYLE FIELD By E. C. “JEEP” OATES Battalion Sports Editor Either John Kimbrough, Ag gie line plunger and one of the ace pass defensive halfbacks, or Fred Shook, star Frog cen ter, is going to have a bad afternoon today. Marion Pugh received a let ter from Shook the other day and he said Kimbrough was way over rated. He said that he would stop Big John every time he carried the ball. Pugh and Shook use to play together in Fort Worth high school. Shook may stop Kimbrough, but if he stops him more than four times and still remains in the game it will be the first time that anyone has accom plished the mission. Before Shook gets a shot at 'stopping Kimbrough he is go ing to have to get by Pannell, Robnett and Boyd and that is a task that is going to be awful tough for Mr. Shook. When and if he does get by them he can attempt to stop the big Kimbrough, but have the stretcher ready because if he tackles a knee it is going to be “blow the siren Katy, another poor fool crashed in where angels fear to tread.” This ball game today is no breeze for either side. The Frogs have lost three ball games, but they have out played their opponents in every game. The only place they have been behind is in the scoring of points. Today it may be the other way around. The loss of Pugh is a big handi cap to the Cadets. It leaves them without a proven passer who is in good physical shape. Price may be able to go for a while, but he can’t play all that he will be needed. Harry’s Delicatessen And Restaurant A Good Place to Eat. Big-gest Assortment of Sandwiches in Town.

Only One Show Horned Frogs Have Bested 1938 Record T.C.U. Statistics Show Present Team Superior MOSER WILL BE WORTH SEEING DURING GAME By Jimmie Cokinos The outcome of today’s game will depend much upon the show ing of Derace Moser, sophomore back from Stephenville, Texas. Moser is rated by the conference sport - writers as the best triple threat in this raz zle-dazzle confer ence and will be watched closely jin the game to day. “Mose” plays the tailback in the : Aggie’s backfield and is the one in which Coach Norton has placed the duties that Dick Todd carried for three years. One writer said that the offen sive potency of the Aggies re volves around Moser and we agree because Moser is tops when it comes to carrying the ball. If his mates give him fair block ing he can be counted on to do his share of making points for the Cadets. He is the leading ball carrier for the Aggies with an average of 5,19 yards on 31 car ries. His passing is good and he can be called upon to toss the pig skin with the same accuracy that he carries it. Moser is an all round athlete which was brought out in his high school record of earning sixteen letters. He received four each in football and track, three each in basketball and baseball, and two in tennis. He continued his spark ling play when he entered A. & M. by going out for freshman sports and winning numerals in football, basketball, and track. For his football play he was elected captain of the fish grid team. Moser stands an even six foot and weighs 180 pounds. He is called “Mose” by his team-mates. If the Cadets win today they can graduate happy. They will be able to say that during their time the Cadets beat the Frogs twice, lost once and tied once. That will be the best record that any class since 1924 has been able to boast. Aggie Dates— (Continued from page 1) the respective couples together. As each Aggie arrives, he will be given his date’s name and she will be paged by the speaker sys tem. After the “ice is broken,” the pair are on their own. Fair’s fashion co-ordinator, Miss Thelma Hendricks, has arranged for the date bureau and her assist ants include three of T.C.U.’s pop ular coeds; Helen Connor, Ann Goodman, and Elizabeth Hager. Around 2,000 of T.S.C.W.’s stu dent body are making today’s corps trip, but with almost twice that many Aggies in Fort Worth, not every cadet will be able to date a “sister.” This marks the second plan of this nautre, last year’s date bureau in Dallas being successful in every way. Junior Prom— (Continued from page 1) Naomi Boutwell of Terrell, jun ior president, and other (Class leaders planned decorations to car ry out the football spirit with ma roon and white letters spelling out T.S.C.W. and AGGIES. Couples entered both dances under goal posts, and yard lines ruled off the ceilings, with large pictures of Ag gies prominently featured on either side of the orchestra in both halls. Arrangements for the T.S.C.W. holiday trip were made by Dr. F. L. McDonald, director of journal ism and publicity at the college and entertainment chairman, with the cooperation of A. & M. and T. C. U. officials and several Fort Worth organizations. Battalion Sports COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS OCTOBER 21, 1939 INTRAMURALS With Hub Johnson The day of days and many for the first time see the high honors awarded to the organization with the highest standing at the close of the season.

The basketballs and punching bags are always in use and going through some rough treatment. In Class A basketball matches the last few days B Signal Corps downed C Engineers 31 to 8 with O. W. Hamilton marking up ten points and J. L. Lucas registering eight of the Signal team while B Chemical Warfare eaked out an 8 to 7 win over F Field Artillery with Mike Arisco again leading the chem team.

FORT WORTH, Oct. 21.—The T. C. U. Horned Frogs have play ed better football this year than in 1938—in every respect except winning games! The Frogs have gained more ground, been thrown for fewer losses, passed better, fumbled less and held their opponents to small er yardage in their first three games than they did last season. All the Frog followers bemoan ed the loss of Davey O’Brien, yet Jack Odle and Rusty Cowart have passed to the tune of a .547 com pletion percentaige in the first three games, as compared to O’Brien’s .470 percentage in the first three of ’38. Coach Dutch Meyer’s boys have amassed a total of 1016 yards from scrimmage to date this year, where as they had but 933 yards at the same point last year. On the defensive side, the three opponents have been held this year to a total of 505 yards gain ed, as compared with 631 yards gained last year. The combined opponents have passed for a .485 percentage mark this season, while last year they completed passes for a mere .280 mark. «- The Christians fumbled 15 times in the three first contests of ’38 and but 10 times in this year’s first three. “Statistics, statistics everywhere, and not a touchdown in sight!” Coach Meyer wails. “We’re the statistical champions of the con ference!” “I’ll trade all of the fine figures for a few points each game. To lose three games by a total of seven points—first four points, then one, then two—is a new rec ord of some kind or other. And a record that I’d gladly surrender to some other coach!” The Frogs are working desper ately to find some way to convert these amazing favorable figures into a few points that will show in the box score. And a crowd of some 25,000 will be in the T. C. U. Stadium Sat urday just to see if, by any chance, the Frogs might begin to click against that great undefeat ed Aggie eleven.
