i ON KYLE FIELD By E. C. “Jeep” Oates Battalion Sports Editor Gail Scott Praises Aggies For Win; Behavior Of Corps Was Excellent Following is a letter received by Dean Kyle after the Fort Worth corps trip: Dear Dean Kyle: This is to offer to you my sin cere congratulations on your fine football team and its signal vic tory over us the Saturday past. I have not seen a better example of balanced football in many a day. It looks like you have every thing and I am glad. You have, an aggressive, hard running, hard hitting group of boys, but as fair and sportsman-like team as I have ever seen. Now that we are beat en it seems to me that students, faculty and townspeople alike are pulling for the Aggies. I want to congratulate you, too, on the excellent behavior of your fine corps while in Fort Worth. Our students seem to recover quickly from their defeat and from what I can find out helped cele brate in a whole-hearted and wholesome manner. Sincerest personal regards, Gayle Scott, Chairman, T. C. U. Athletic Committee. Quarterbacks Meet Tonight In Confab; T. C. U. Pictures Are Shown In Color Quarterback captain, Jocko Rob erts, announces that the meeting place for the second-guessers has been changed to the chemistry building because of the need for added space. The meeting will be tonight at 7:30 and pictures of the T. C. U. - A. & M. game will be shown. The pictures of that fray are in colors. SANTA CLARA SPORTS EDITOR WRITES; IS GLAD HE DIDN’T BET ON BRONCS Received a letter from Art Olsen, sports editor of the Santa Clara, THE TESTED INK FOR EVERY PEN 7L le ntcvrijLn DOUBT X HE "margin of doubt” is about five minutes on either side of the minute hand. It causes gobbled meals, and missed trains. The "margin of doubt” is unnecessary. Entrust your watch only to repair men who take pride in finished craftsmanship. Never give it to those whose fingers stumble in their haste to "get the job over with” at a "bargain price.” By the same token, buy your new watch h ere. We sell America’s finest. HAMILTONS, for instance. C. W. VARNER Bryan The Frogs are rated to have the best pair of wings in the con ference, but as one writer put it, “the T.C.U. ends flew out the sides when Kimbrough spread the line open.” The Toads will pick up a few wins before the season closes. They have a pretty fair ball club and they battled the Ag gies almost as well as any ball club the Cadets have met. the other day. We never made contact in Frisco, but he said he found a couple of our travel-mates. “I started to bet $5 with each of them before the game, but Thank God I didn’t.” He states the Ag gies are the toughest bunch that he has ever seen on the Coast. He was loud in his congratulations of the Cadets beating Villanova as “Clipper” Smith, the coach, was coach at Santa Clara a few years ago. He said they are pulling for the Cadets to go through unde feated. The Broncs did O.K. for them selves as well as us when they beat St. Mary’s last Sunday. Battalion Sports PAGE 3 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS OCTOBER 26, 1939 Williamson Picks A.&M., T.C.U. & Arkansas To Win By Paul B. Williamson On 310 games reported over last week-end the Williamson system made a better showing than the previous week, with a percentage of 85.5 not counting upsetting ties. The System was upset last week mostly by underdogs confounding their supposedly much stronger op ponents. Mots of these topsy-turvy Although the System’s predict- affairs fooled everybody, of course, ing slipped on it’s last week’s spe cials, except for good old Spear- fish, here is some more limb climb ing for this week: Hardin-Simmons over Loyola (Col.), Mississippi over Tulane, Loyola (South) over Creighton, Knox over Beloit (conquerors of Chicago), Marquette over Arizona, Clemson over Navy, Arkansas ov er Villanova, Alabama over Miss issippi State, Georgia Tech over Auburn, Oregon over U. C. L. A. These are honies, some of them closer than a gnat’s eyelash. Try and pick ’em by “guessing.” The System’s weekly prediction story does not include the very obvious picks. But after all there are always other Sam Houston Teachers and Gonzagas among us. Scientific Predictions 69.9 SAM HOUS. 73.0 85.2 NOTRE DAME 91.3 77.4 T. C.

It has been several years since the Aggies won a game from the Bears. No five-year man has ever seen the Cadets ring up a victory over them, let alone the seniors. The Bears have a big threat in Witt, cousin of the former great blocking back of Rice, and Wil son, a big 200 pound sophomore flash from Paris.

Leading Title Chasers To Meet Here Saturday When Texas A. & M. and Baylor'f— University meet on Kyle Field here Saturday, Oct. 28, at 2:30, it will be a game that will attract a near-record crowd for a game between the Aggies and the Bears. Two years ago when the teams met they were both undefeated in conference play, although the Ag gies had played a tie with T.C.U. That game drew a crowd of almost 15,000 and set a new non-Thanks- giving attendance record, at College Station. It is sad to bring up unpleasant history but when the final gun was fired that day the Bears were still undefeated and the Ag gies were out of the running for the championship that year. This year both teams are unde feated in their conference sche dule and are tied with University of Texas for the top rung of the ladder. The Aggies have a clear slate in all games played but Baylor dropped a tough one to Nebraska last week and Texas earlier in the season. The Cadets are reported in top physical shape and grapevine news out of Waco says that the injured Bears will be ready when it is time to kickoff. The present seniors on the team never have seen an Aggie team lick Baylor since they entered the college although they have seen them play two tie games, so they will be out trying to have the honor of sharing in the glory of smash ing a jinx the Bears seem to be developing. Tommie Vaughn Holds Position As Aggie Center By Jimmie a l/a.U(pAn. Cokinos Tommie Vaughn last year as a sop homore broke into the line-up as the starting center for the Baylor game. He did the trick when hb ousted two lettermen. From then on he was consider ed as the start ing pivotman and was called year in the Aggie the “find” of line. At the beginning of the season this year Norton was undecided as to who would be the starting cen ter for the team but as the prac tices got underway Vaughn settled down to business and stood out from the rest of the candidates. It was not long before he got the nod from Norton as he has started every game this season. He is at his best when it comes to throwing the ball back and plays a sterling defensive game. He is capable of playing 60- minute ball as he is full of energy and his peppery voice and “jin- neger” can be' heard above the chatter of the rest of the players. Vaughn hails from Brownwood, Texas, stands 6.1, and weighs 185 pounds. While at Brownwood high school he lettered two times in football and was selected on the all-district team in his senior year. He entered A. & M. in 1937 and went out for fish football and re ceived a freshman grid numeral for his play. Tommie won his first “T” last year and is gunning for a second this year. He is an aggressive redhead (who ever saw a redhead that wasn’t) and loves to pull out of the line on defense to be a line backer. He proved his like Satur day ^Vvhen he dealt the Frogs’ running game jolt after jolt with his stalwart line-backing. He should be in for a great day Satur day when the Baylor Bears meet the Aggies on Kyle Field for the Bears boast of having a good run ning attack that is hard to stop. But we believe the “red-headed one” will do the job and turn on the red light for the Baylor ball carriers.

Next to Palace Theater Correct Addresses Should Be Placed On Student Mail The attention of the cadet corps is called to the fact, that many students are receiving improperly addressed mail. In fact, there is so much of this mail, according to Mrs. Anna V. Smith, local post mistress, that the post office has two clerks working continuously to get this mail sorted. She requests that each student make sure that all persons writing him have his correct box number.

Camel cigarettes are noted for their long burning. In fact, they burned longer, slower than any other brand tested, in re cent scientific studies. Van Campen Heilner, the famous American authority on wild game, points out an interesting angle to this. “Camels give more smoking because those choice tobaccos bum so slowly,” he says. “And I think the way they bum is a good way to judge the quality of cigarettes too. I can smoke them steadily and they still taste smooth and cool, and my mouth feels fresh — and there’s no throat irritation. Camels are mild, flavory. They give more pleasure per puff—and more puffs per pack.” Get extra smoking per pack—topped off with the delicate taste of choice tobaccos. Smoke Camels!
