ON KYLE IFIELD By I. B. C “Jeep” Ottaa Battmlion Sport* Editor Referee Harry Viner Threatened To Penalize Aggies For Yelling So Loud Refer** Harry Viner threatened to penalise the Aggies Saturday ' for unsportsmanlike yelling. A penalty like that ia for 16 yards. Harry had asked Bodie Pearce to get the Corps to quit yelling when Baylor was in the huddle and call' ing signals. ^Bodie did try to stofi it a little, but then that is Just the opposite of his Job. A few minutes later the Baylor team again complained and Harry told Bodie he would hare to pen alise the Cadets if they didn’t stop yelling when Baylor was on the Cadets Bury Five-Year Bear Jinx Kimbrough, Moser And Smith Star offense. Bodie complained that he had no right to do so and said that Baylor was yelling when the Aggies were on offense. Harry said they wer* not making too tnach noise. In other words, the Cadets won on the field and in the stands too. Really it was s compliment to the i n.l.-t >.-lling body. It is true that the feferee has this power, but it will probably not come up again. He does not work here again until the game with Texse and you can yell un- til I i freezes over. Juniors Sitting in Senior Section Are Running Risk of Jaws of Senior Court 1 Many complaints about juniors and other underclassmen sitting in the senior section at football games have reached this eolarnn. Several of the offenders will be called before Senior Court this week. The senior section consists of the rows from the band to the top of the stands and the top rows on down to the goal line. The juniors wsnted to know where they were to sit and said that the sophomores and freshmen would not move. r Well, what have you learned after being hers for three year*? j Where there is a will there is a it! way. VUlanova beat Arkansas 7 to 0 and Santa Clara beat Purdue. The Aggie* beat both of the win ners of that pair of gasses and it shows that the Aggies have not been beating “easy” teams as some of our friend sports writers have stated. Some of the scribes want to call those two games a* upsets. Prob ably because they picked the wrong teams to win and Want an excuse for their predictions. Paul Wil liamson, daddy of ^he Williamson Rating System, might profit if be would read this and pay some at tention to ip. Many of those “pickers” should see a team play before they say they are easy teaips. Santa' Clara haa proven with victories over St. Mary’s and pur due that they are totigh. Arkansas Is Tough Opponent in Ozarks; Aggies Have Tough Row Yet To Hoe Coach Norton will leave here Thursday for Arkansas where his charges will attempt to win a game over Coetch Thompson's oft- trodden Rasorbacks. You can lose more ball games and more money playing in Arkansas than any other place in the world. ~ Arkansas continues to have the hard lock of losing a ball game in the last minute after having romp ed ail over the field.

Kay Eakin, star Hog junior, ia punter as can be found in the Southwest. He has two of tike tallest ends in the country to Aoot passes to and they know where to run when they get the ball. By the way. that Arkansas is another one of;these jinx bunches to bowl over. The two teams start ed their battles in 1903, but it was not anti) 1984 that they began playing every year. The team have met IS. times with the Pork era winning seven games and the Aggies four. One game in 1934 ended in a 7 to 7 draw. Arkansas was one of the favor ed team to wia the conference this as good a passer, runner and i year and with that material they Battalion Sports PAGE 3 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS OCTOBER 31, 1939 Moser Scores Aggies 9 Third Touchdown By “Jaap" Oates Another jinx, as trail as s good fighting Baylor team, went down in defeat before the powerful Ag gie eleven Saturday afternoon be fore some 21,000 spectators as Smlth.^John Kimbrough, gad Moser ta! It.-d 'touchdowns and Price a ed /fwo extra points. The odd of\he gam* came when Herb Smith took the bell away from Wilson, when he was back to pass and ran '^i*. yards for a touchdown to put the Aggies ahead 6 to in-fore the game was a minute old. The 20 to 0 defeat for the Bears was the same as the one Nebraska plastered on them last week. Baylor came over with 0 good ball dab, one that refused to be pushed around during the first half. Their line was at good as any that will be found in the Southwest, and that is the reason the Cadets looked ragged during the first half. Statistics at the half sheered each team with three first downs and Baylor leading in running plays srith the Cadets holding the lead in yardage on passes. But the second half of the fray offered a different picture. The Cadets had been humiliated by having their running attack halted during the first 30 minutes and they came out raging. The Bruin forward wall bad worn down some during that first half and they had no capable reserves to throw into the breach. After the Aggies kicked off tat the third quartan*, they got the ball when Crumbles was hit sc hard that it flew out of his hands whereupon Thomason grabbed it. Moaer, Price and Kimbrough start ed eating up j the ground behind some great line plays and neat blocking. They carried down to the Bruin two and “Jarrin' John 1 Varsity Poloists Win,U-10 The A.

The Freebooters spotted one by handicap, jumped off wNtfc a rush and held a one-point lead at the end of the half with the score five-four. At the opening of the second half, the Cadets paced by Captain Aaa Jones and Sid McDonald, went on a scoring spree and tallied five times The Freebooters made their bid for, goals in the second half through Hay and Barry, And retaliated with a four-goal burst in the sixth chukker. The game ended with the Aggies holding their one-goal lead. Maloney’s sparkling play for the varsity was cut short in the fifth period when he was forced to with draw with an injured hand.

Nelson at center was the out standing player for Baylor throughout the game. Others look ed good during the first part, but could not last. The. Aggies used 36 players in all slid they all showed up well. Jack Lsimmua, Baylor end. said after the game, "The Aggies are the best team we have played against counting Nebraska; and Kimbrough, Thomason, Pugh, Rob- rtt, Boyd and Pannell are the mt I have ever seen." Wilson, explaining how Herb Smith took the ball him said, "My shirt wad wet and I had the ball in my hands to keep it from getting wet when all of a sodden the little . j , took it before I knew it waa gene.'

All four men averaged over 40 yards on punts from the line of scrimmage. Playing on* game at a time, tha, Aggies travel to Arkansas next Saturday to meet the Arkansas Razorbacks. Sport experts may pick the top teams in all the con ferences and the top teams of the nation, but this is the Southwest Conference. The jinx of all jinxes is before the Aggie* this week but this is the year that the “hoo-dooe” seem to fell. Last year waa the first victory for the Aggies against Arkansas sinse 1927, and in that year it took a conference cham pionship team to do it. The Aggies came oat of the Bay lor game without injuries and un less some turn up in scrimmi this week, they will present their hill strength against the Ozark team. Arkansas has dropped four of their six games this mason, losing Villanova last Saturday, 7 0. The game was the South’s team all the way through until the third quarter when a sophomore sub stitute for the Wildcats raced 82 yards for the kmc tally. The Rasorbacks beast a trio of 2 pound veteran wing men who range from 6-2 te 6-g in height. Howard Hickey, Maurice Britt, and John Freiberger, brother of Louis Freiberger, Aggie basketball star, all won thalr letters last season Statistics run about equal, with the Aggies leading in m branches and the Hogs holding higher averages in others.
