1 ON KYLE FIELD By E. C. “Jeep” Oates Battalion Sports Editor Aggies Not Pressed in 27 to 0 Win; All Games Run True To Form The Arkansas game was prob ably the lightest game the Ag gies have played this year. Never did they have to open up. They scored touchdowns and let the rest of the playing go. Reserves were used a lot, and rightly so because the reserves are plenty strong. Some of the movie news-reels were represented there and they should have gotten some good passing shots. They look good on the screen even if they don’t look good on the ground. The Aggies are getting worse every ball game. It has reached the point now that slow blundering tackles like JOE BOYD have got to make the touchdowns. Conatser is the only back left that crosses pay dirt. Kimbrough and Moser have fallen by the side of the road. Kidding aside, the Aggies did not look like a hard-boiled cham pionship team and they didn’t have to. They got out there and had a lot of fun while the desperate Arkansas boys were taking a good old country licking. Baylor and S. M. U. shut out T. C. U. and Texas respectively while Rice was being eased out again, this time by Fordham. S. M. U. stacked Jack Crain up like he was just another guy named JOE. The A. & M.-S. M. U. game here this week should be the classic of the day in the grid world. Joe Utay Gives Points On Officiating; One Decision Lost Conference Championship Joe Utay, member of the A. & M. Board of Directors and an official in these parts for the past 26 years, told us of some of the things he ran into while working ball games. One when Texas and Baylor were playing and the game was to decide the conference champion ship, he had to calk a holding penalty when the losing team scor ed a touchdown that would have made them the winning team and conference champions. He also told about the most em barrassing moment of his life. Just before one game he lay down in his hotel room to rest a mo ment. When he woke up he found that the game was a quarter old and by the time he got to the park the first half was over. He worked the last half. That is kind of like missing your own wedding. Pistol Team Gets Publicity Rated; All Minor Sports Deserve Credit Hub Johnson went to bat and wrote this column while I was in Arkansas Saturday and did a neat job, but made the following state ment that is only half true. He wrote, “The water polo team, the only thing A. & M. had to boast of last year, is believed to be in about as good shape as it was last year although a few players are gone one way or another.” A reader sent me a card with the following words: “So the water polo team is the only team A. & M. could boast of last year? After all, the pistol team did win a na tional championship also. Is this team appreciated or ignored?” The note was not signed. Thanks pal for reading the col umn and am always glad to have a new reader. If you had started reading much sooner you would find that the pistol team has been given much credit that they de served. The truth of the matter is that they got more space last year than all other minor sports combined. When they start their season at the end of this month- they will again step in and get their space, win or lose. Am glad to see boys wanting to read more on their minor sports.

As the alluring star of ‘Algiers” gives her lips to romantic Robert Taylor! Robert Taylor Hedy Lamarr “LADY OF THE TROPICS’’ Rifle Team Tryouts Will Be Held During Month At Armory Tryouts for the A. & M. rifle team are being held at the rifle range, located just south of the Coast Artillery armory, during the month of November. In addition to a number of men returning who were on the team last y6ar, sev eral good prospects were uncov ered during the intramural matches. Any undergraduate student is eligible for the team. The ability to shoot accurate is the only re quirement. Those anxious to try out for the team have been asked to come by the range at least tljjee times each week. An invita tion is extended to first year stu dents who have had previous ex perience on high school rifle teams, as well as to others who are in terested. Major Dyer is in charge of the team; Captain Adcock is coach, and Sergeant Richards is assistant coach. The mayor of Pine Bluff, Wyo., recently issued this warning to hoboes: “We don’t do nothing for nobody for nothing what never done nothing for us for nothing.” CAMPUS CLEANERS YOUR CONVENIENTLY LOCATED CLEANERS In New “Y” Building and Above Exchange Store LOOK YOUR NEATEST For The Football Game And Dance AGGIELAND BARBER SHOP NORTH GATE FARMERS BUTCHER RAZORBACKS Aggies Are Rated First In Nation By Paul B. Williamson Unreasonable and unpredictable as last week’s performances were, the system holds its head bloody but unbowed on its record in fore casting results in the major games of principal circuits. Down in the Southwest the resord was perfect, eight called victors; in the East the system picked 12 out of 13; in the South and South Atlantic 7 out of 8 each; 9 out 11 in the Mid west; 12 out of 15 in the far West; 4 out of 7 in the Missouri Val ley, and 21 out of 28 (with 2 ties) in leading intersectional games. The ten leaders include seven teams picked in pre-season ap praisal as possible champions. On ly three, Texas A. & M., Cornell and Duquesne, are dark-horse sur prises. The leaders are: Texas A. & M., for blanking Arkansas 27 to 0—97.3. North Carolina, for its 17 to 0 victory over North Carolina State —97.1. Tulane, idle after beating Mis sissippi 18 to 6—97.1.

A 90.0 AGGIE P0L0ISTS BREAK EVEN WITH NEW MEXICO In the first polo game Satur day the Aggie poloists started off with a rush, led by the brilliant playing of Carl Maloney and T. A. Williams amassing a three-goal lead at the half. Up to this time the New Mexico power house had been smothered but Bobby Evans and Danny Thompson hit a win ning stride and New Mexico emerg ed with an 8 to 6 victory. Score A.&.M. Goals N.M.

The teams played fast powerful polo with the lead swaying back and forth. The long hitting of Asa Jones and Sid McDonald were touching off the sparkling offen sive of Carl Maloney. Williams was locking the back door. Only the superb horsemanship and mal let work of Bobby Evans and Den ny Thompson of New Mexico en abled them to keep abreast of the A. & M. team. All even at the end of the sixth, the teams went into the overtime chukkar with the spirit that pro duced the brilliant and appropriate ending of the game. Breaking up a long run by Evans of New Mex ico, Asa Jones laced out a terrif ic back-hander from the mouth of the goal. Carl Maloney picked it up and with two long shots raced the length of the field and placed the ball in position for his win ning goal. Result: A. & M. 6, New Mexico 5. Score A.&M. Goals N.M.

Boyd tok a lateral from end Bill Buchanan and crashed a- cross. Conatser scored on a pass and a sweep. Herb Smith made the other touchdown and Audish and Dawson accounted for the conversions. Intramurals With Hub Johnson The first intramural sport is now marked off the list. Rifle shoot ing winners were announced yes terday with F Engineers holding the top place. Company A Chemi cal Warfare had the same record, 465 points, but was one point low er in record of the standing posi tion. Some swell shooting was seen on the range. Following Dave Fitch, who fired 99, were Paul Dillon and Johnnie Zercher in the 98 bracket and William Becker, James ‘Buck’ Skinner, Lewis Ken- nemer, and Allen DuBose, firing 97. There will be an important meet ing of all freshmen and upper classmen intramural managers in the ‘Y’ Parlor tonight immediate ly after yell practice. C Cavalry is definitely out of the race for the basketball crown tnis year. I Infantry will repre sent League A in the final play offs after turning back the troop team and continuing on to remain undefeated. I Infantry also made its bid in tennis this week by downing B Chemical Warfare in two out of three matches. Here is the record of the F Engi neers champion rifle shooters: Bolin 25 25 22 23 Jlay 25 25 25 21 Mason 25 24 22 19 Appelt * 25 24 23 22 McCutchan ....24 23 23 20 F Engineers not only boast the tops in. rifle shooting, but should also go a long way in the basket ball play-offs next week. In their last game A1 Anderson and Bill Lewis scored up six points each to lead their team to a 25 to 2 vic tory over G Coast Artillery. Battery A Field Artillery has been downing its opponents the hard way or either they have had some pretty tough opponents. In the I League, they have one game to play and are yet undefeated. B Engineers were their last vic tims, falling 17 to 12. Rutheford and Conley were the high point men, scoring eight and five points respectively. THE FAYETTE COUNTY A. & M. Club was recently organized and elected the following officers: S. S. Kreuz, president; L. H. Grass- hoff, vice-president; A. M. Citzler, secretary; V. W. Post, treasurer. Regular meetings of the club will be on the first Thursday of each month, and notices of special meet ings will be posted. The meetings will be held in the “Y” unless an other place is designated. CADETS TO FACE ANOTHER JINX IN S.M.U. SATURDAY Whereas Armistice Day marked the cessation of hostilities 21 years ago, this year it will make the twentieth renewal of the battles between the Texas Aggies and the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, with this year’s battle to be fought on historic Kyle Field here next Saturday. It is another Saturday and an other “jinx” team for the Aggies. Since the 1927 Conference cham pions defeated S.M.U. the Aggies have had a hard row to hoe and the Ponies caught up and passed the Cadets in the number of games won to leave the all-time game record at 10 wins for S. M. U. against 8 for A. & M. with three others ending in ties. Starting in 1929 after a 19-19 tie in 1928, the Ponies held A. & M. winless until 1936 and over those seven years allowed the Ag gies a scant 14 points, shutting them out five years in a row. The Aggies snapped the string in 1936 and repeated with another victory in 1937. However, S. M. U., thanks to Joe Pasqua, kicked a last minute field goal last year and started another string of wins with a 10-7 score. This year the Aggies and S. M. U. should provide fireworks. Both are headed places and both are equally determined to set the other back on their heels. Advance sales indicate that the game will set an all-time Aggie-S. M. U. attendance record and might even surpass the new record set by Baylor last week for a non-Thanksgiving Day game. At any rate, regardless of the outcome, the Aggies will not be able to even up with the Mustangs in the matter of total games won since the Ponies joined the South west Conference in 1916. Here is the all-time record: Year Aggies S.M.U. 1916 63 0 1919 *16 0 1920 3 0 1921 *13 0 1922 6 17 1923 0 *10 1924 7 7 1925 *7 0 1926 7 *9 1927 *39 13 1928 19 19 1929 7 12 1930 7 13 1931 0 *8 1932 0 0 1933 0 19 1934 0 28 1935 0 **24 1936 22 6 1937 14 0 1938 7 10 **—Rose Bowl Team. *—Conference Champion Team ERNIE LAIN WAS an All- American in the making before he was told of it, but after being told, he all but failed to make his own ball club. Aggies Score At Will In Uneven Game,Win, 27 - 0 By “Jeep” Oates And the number “7” was run up on the Texas Aggie bandwagon at Fayetteville, Arkansas, Satur day when the league leaders sent the fighting Porkers back to the pen under a 27-to-0 lacing that had everything including tackles scoring touchdowns. The day was perfect for football and a crowd of 12,000 jammed the stadium. The Cadets marched the ball down to the Porker 20 during the middle of the opening period, but lost the ball on a pass interception. Shortly after that Marland Jeffrey cut loose with a heave that was gathered in by Herb Smith for the first tally. Audish added the ex tra point. In the second quarter Marshall Robnett intercepted a pass and raced some 35 yards before lateral- ing to John Kimbrough who con tinued for 17 yards before falling. Conatser then raced around for the counter. Audish again con verted. The third counter came after the Aggies had marched from the 46 to the 18. From there Jeffrey passed to Buchanan who lateralled to Joe Boyd. Boyd crashed through for the tally. Dawson' added the extra point. Conatser came back in the fourth quarter with the last touch down. Thomason picked up 16 yards and then Conatser slipped behind the Porker defense to take a pass from Moser. The pass was good for 46 yards and a touch. Audish missed the extra point. Arkansas rolled up 20 first downs to the Aggies’ nine, but net yard age gave the Aggies 219 yards to 198. The Cadets lost 128 yards from penalties while Arkansas lost none. Stars were plentiful. . . includ ing Audish at two positions, guard and blocking back. If the Aggies stars were to be named it would read the same as the roster. A. & M. played under wraps and the S. M. U. and Rice scouts learn ed nothing of the passing and pow er. The Cadets did the scoring and sat back and let the Porkers try. Quarterback Clubs Will Meet Jointly At a meeting of the Quarterback Club last Thursday night it was voted to take the ladies’ club in with the men’s and all meet at 7:30 every Thursday night in Guion Hall. The ladies decided that because many of them do not know the rules and the reasons well enough to ask intelligent questions they will continue to have their private meetings on Wednesday nights at 7:30 in the chemistry lecture room. Quarterback captain Jocko Rob erts announced that the ladies who wish to may meet with the men at their regular meetings. THE AGGIES ARE at the cross roads now where they can either go on and be a great ball club or they can get over-confident and let S. M. U. rap them into being another club that started, but couldn’t take it. A HIGHLY-TOUTED RICE team is the lowest-ranking in the South because some victories went to their heads. They can’t win now and when they are mentioned it only causes a laugh.
