Frogs and Gentlmen, Ten
Defeats Behind, Meet Today
Pour 10 defeats on to a footbalH—
gridiron, add a dash of weak of
fense, season with a pinch of in
adequate defense, set the whole out
for public consumption at the
Louisiana State Fair, and what do
you have — a football game (so-
called) between the Texas Christ
ian University Horned Frogs and
the Centenary Gentlemen, today.
Both elevens are breaking rec
ords this season—records for suc
cessive defeats. The Gentlemen
have dropped six in a row—to
Louisiana Normal, Hardin-Sim-
mons, Texas A. & M., Rice, Mis
sissippi and Tulsa. In a half doz
en starts, Centenary has managed
to get 13 points while the combined
opponents garnered 98.
T. C. U. has bowed to U. C. L.
A., Arkansas, Temple and Texas
A. & M., the four tilts carrying a
combined score of T. C. U. 32, Op
ponents 53.
The one opponent that both
teams have met is the Aggies.
The Cadets from College Station
proved themselves exactly 14
points better than either team.
Scores: A. & M. 14,. Centenary 0;
A. & M. 20, T. C. U. 6.
If you were a Horned Frog fan
and determined to extract consola
tion from these facts, you could
point out that the Frogs scored
on the Aggies while the Gentle
men did not.
On the other hand, if you pre
fer to support the Centenary cause,
you may bring forth the fact that
the Gentlemen held the Aggies to
14 points while the Frogs had 20
scored on them.
With the cellar championship of
the Southwest at stake, the grid
fans ought really to turn out. It
isn’t every season that Shreveport
stages a championship game.
Whoever wins today’s fight for
pygmy honors, the result will be
the biggest upset of the day. It
seems impossible that both elevens
can live up to their reputation
and lose.
But—perish the thought—the
game could end in a tie!
T. C. U. Freshmen
And Baylor Cubs
In Game Tuesday
Handicapped by everything from
cracked ribs to loss of a player
by the marriage altar, T. C. U.’s
freshman gallants will try for
their second victory in as many
starts when they meet the Baylor
Cubs at Farrington Field in Fort
Worth Tuesday night.
Bill Wright, flashy guard from
Vernon; Billy Sherman, center
from Dallas; Mike Harter, guard,
Fort Worth; and Marshall Good
man, back from Gaston, are among
those on the Polliwog’s injury list.
The first two may not be able
to play against the Cubs.
“Paint” Brewton, red-haired
center from Mineral Wells, check
ed out of the Wog camp this week
to get married.
The Wog-Cub game is sponsored
by the T. C. U.-Lettermen’s Asso
ciation and will be highlighted by
the election and presentation of a
freshman queen from both schools
and the ugliest boy from each
freshman class.
Both the Baylor and the T. C.
U. freshmen have played one game
this season. The Cubs routed
Lamar Junior College 34 to 0 and
the Wogs took Weatherford Junior
College 24 to 0.
Last year the Cubs defeated the
Polliwogs 12 to 0 in a game play
ed in Waco.
Baylor Guard
Leonard Akin, big 210 pound
Baylor guard is expected to lead
the way in the Good Old Baylor
Line today when the Bears go up
against the Texas Aggies... Akin, a
two year letterman and a great
defensive performer, made several
all-conference selections last year
and will be battling for a regular
nod this fall.
A. & M. Polo Team
Plays First Game
The Aggie polo season will
open here Sunday afternoon when
the Aggie Varsity plays either
Austin or the A. & M. faculty
at Jackson Field.
The schedule for the year is be
ginning to assume shape and if
the weather permits, the team
will play weekly games during
the year.
Major Burnett, coach, states, “It
is, of course, impossible to accept
all invitations. Out of town games
will be played with Oklahoma U.,
Oklahoma Military Academy, and
the Huisache Club of Houston. It
is probable that games will be
played with Shreveport Riding^
Club and the San Antonio Army
team and possibly New Mexico
Military Institute.
“Games scheduled for play at
College this fall include the Aus
tin Cowpokes, Buda Vaqueros, Ok
lahoma U., Huisache of Houston,
San Angelo Freebooters, A. & M.
Faculty, and Oklahoma Military
Academy. The Mexican Civilian-
Army team may stop off on its
tour, although we have little to
offer in the way of fields, etc.
Shreveport and the San Antonio
Army team are also possibilities.”
College Postmaster
Attends Convention
Mrs. Anna V. Smith, postmaster
of the College Station Post Of
fice, recently returned from the
National Postmaster’s Convention
in Washington, D. C., which was
attended by 5,000 people repres
enting every state in the Union.
Mrs. Smith later made an ex
tended visit through other eastern
cities and Canada.

INTRAMURALS
With Hub Johnson
The game of the week in Class
A basketball was the tilt between
C Cavalry and the Artillery Band.
C Cavalry is out for the title
again with Jake Wilk leading the
squad. The score was 11 to 8 with
the troop holding the heavy side.
Games with big leads were:
G Coast Artillery fell to L In
fantry with a score of 23 to 4.
C Field Artillery topped D Coast
Artillery 20 to 6.
J. S. Conley led B Engineers to
a 36 to 4 win over Hq. Signal
Corps,
A Signal Corps defeated H In
fantry 36 to 6 with R. C. Jackson
playing at center scoring 17 of
the 36 points.
Ragan and Meyers turned out
to be staging a scoring race as
D Field Artillery and M Infantry
played out a game which ended 14
to 10. Ragan for the field scored
five points while Meyers topped
him one to put his team on the top
with the 14 points.
The swimming meet comes up
next week-end. Saturday, Novem
ber 4, is the day scheduled for the
preliminaries and Sunday the day
set for the finals.
K Infantry threw up a defense
that couldn’t be broken as they
turned back 2 Hq. Field Artillery
6 to 0. The six points came on
a block kick with the infantry
team taking over on the two yard
line. This observer still thinks it
was a safety but they’re hard to
call. Other than the one play
for the two yard drive for the
score the game was a bit slower
than the rest played that day.

“Fatty” Smith and “Sleepy”
Sleeper were the two deserving
credit for 2nd Combat Train’s win
over B Infantry with Smith doing
everything but running with the
ball. The six points were made
as “Hobs” Helms broke the. field
for 35 yards to put the ball in po
sition for Smith to pass to Sleeper
for the score. Smith then topped
the Kyle Field back stop to kick
the extra point.
Up until this point it was the
Infantry’s game on penetrations.
They started early in the game to
set the pace and play a good de
fensive and a hard running game,
after their passes failed to work.
In the middle of the line for the
blue patches was Ele Baggett.
The only upperclassmen tennis
match was scheduled between E
Engineers and A Infantry. Boutler
and Oswalt won their match, Nob
lit and Copeland took a forfeit,
while Curry and Cook dropped to
Spencer and Plogens to win for
the Engineers 2 to 1.
