Crain And Davis Must Be Stopped For
Aggies To Win Turkey Day Tilt Here
Stop Crain, stop Davis, and you
have stopped Texas.
One week from today the Steers
will arrive on the Aggie campus.
Over at Austin they are talking
about their team having the “spirit
of ’23”. In case any of you don’t
remember what happened in 1923
. . . here it is. In 1923 the Steers
came to College Station and beat
the Aggies in their own back yard
by a score of 6 to 0. They say
the Longhorns have that same
spirit now and are coming over
to prove it next week.
If the Cadets plan to win that
ball game they will have to stop
two men, Crain and Davis. Last
year when the Cadets lost in Austin
6 to 7, it was one Mr. Davis who
did the trimming.
So far the Steers have scored
106 points this year and Crain has
accounted for 56 of them and Davis
24. That is 80 points between
them.
Crain has accounted for most of
his on long runs. He has carried
the ball 86 times and has made
677 yards. He is plenty dangerous
when he is in the ball game.
Across the top of Tuesday’s
Daily Texan, University student
paper, appears the following words:
“Aggies champs today . . . Chumps
Thanksgiving Day.”
Jack Crain
That seems to be the way the
fellows on the west side of the
Brazos think. Of course we think
differently here.
Conatser Is The Equal Of Jack Crain!
Well, He Is Good, But Very Unlucky
We had our necks chopped off
a couple of weeks ago when we
implied that Conatser was almost
as good as Jack Crain. We haven’t
seen this “Superman” play yet,
but he must be plenty good to
run all those yards for touchdowns,
and the officials count only the
scores. We also understand that
the “Cowboy” has had some call
ed back, but if he has had more
called back than Conatser we would
like to hear about it.
Bill has had long runs to go
for touchdowns and four other
times he has raced many yards to
go across the goal, but they were
called back.
Conatser has made some of the
most spectacular runs this year

On Workout
Aggie Defense To
Concentrate On
Crain and Davis
By “Jeep” Oates
“It was done in 1923; we can
do it in 1939,” says an orange and
white poster in Coach Dana X.
Bible’s office at the University
of Texas.
The Aggies know that the Steers
will be striving to win the Turkey
Day classic and they have set to
work to get ready for the up-and-
coming Longhorns.
Coach Norton gave the team a
day off Monday, but Tuesday he
had them out limbering up. Wed
nesday they really got down to
work; and work, work and more
work will be in store for them for
the next few days. Most of next
week will be taken up in just
keeping the boys in condition.
Norton wants to take no chances
on getting some of his men in
jured.
By doing the heavy work early,
any injuries that may crop up will
have a chance to heal before the
Thanksgiving game.
Defense is the main thing the
Aggies are working on, defense to
stop Crain and Davis. The Steers
have not shown a lot of power on
defense so far this year, but they
have more than made up for it
on offense.
Bible has had better than aver
age luck in shaking Crain and
Davis loose this year, and that is
what the Aggies are preparing to
stop.
INTRAMURAL
. HIGHLIGHTS .
By HUB JOHNSON
“Dad” Elliott speaks this eve
ning in Guion Hall to the fresh
man class. He is a good lecturer,
in fact, he could hardly be called
a lecturer since he makes you feel
as though he is talking directly
to you. The rest of the school is
also invited to attend. Five o’clock
is the time.
•
Here they come. The 3rd Hq.
Field Artillery basketball team laid
them in the aisles and on the floor
Tuesday night as they topped C
Field Artillery 21 to 9.
It was Headquarter’s all the way
through and, if the rest of the
final teams don’t look out, it will
be the same story next week too.
When the going got rough, they
were just a bit rougher.
Nisbet and Ravey each marked
up six points for the winners,
while Ed Dreiss playing a differ
ent game than usual led the C
Battery team with five marks. Paul
Knapp scored the other four for
the underdogs and Barker, Bell,
Smith, and Francis counted for the
remaining 15 for the Hq. battery.
The freshman training period in
cross-country will be held from
three to five this evening because
of the talk in Guion Hall by “Dad”
that this writer has ever seen.
Certainly he has had the best of
blocking from Thomason, Kim
brough and the rest of the boys,
but at times he has been in a spot
where the Aggie blockers were
helpless, but they were trying, and
that is probably the reason some
of the runs have been called back.
The boys were just a little too anx
ious to help him and hit the first
man they could and sometimes
they had a little backward angle
on the block.

Three Great Aggie Fullbacks
ALL-CONFERENCE TEAMS
Every time you open a letter
now, someone wants you to pick
an “All-American” or an “All-
Conference” team. We haven’t
seen Texas play yet, but at this
time the following boys have made
a place on the mythical team for
themselves: Herb Smith, Ernie
Pannell, Marshall Robnett, and
Joe Boyd of A. & M.; Howard
Hickey of Arkansas, Bob Nelton
and Leonard Akin of Baylor, Jim
Thomason and John Kimbrough of
A. & M., and Olie Cordill of Rice.
That leaves one back spot yet to de
termine and it will probably go to
Jack Crain.
Ernie Pannell can clinch his
berth with an outstanding game
next week. He is in my book now,
but some of the “big shots” want
another look at him.
Three of the greatest fullbacks in the history of Aggie athletics
met recently at a practice session of the Aggie team at Kyle Field.
Left to right they are Jack Mahan who graduated in 1921; “Big
John” Kimbrough, an outstanding player this year; and H. E. Burgess
of the class of ’29.
Williamson Picks Texas Tech,
T.C.JJ. And Baylor In Tilts
The number of games for this-
weekend will be cut down a bit
with the two Thanksgiving dates to
blame. Last week the system
batted 85% in this crazy season
of football.
We are still brave and stand out
by predicting such things as
Howard Payne over Southwestern
of Texas, Iowa over Northwestern,
California over Stanford, Oregon
State over Uclans, and Oklahoma
A. & M. over Creighton. Those
are the hard affairs.
Lead pipe chances should be Tex
as A. & I. over St. Edward, Loyola
of the South over Springhill, Villa-
nova over Manhattan, and Har
vard over Yale.

FENCERS BEGIN
PRACTICE FOR
FUTURE MATCHES
Six men composing the Aggie
fencing squad have already made
their opening appearance this sea
son and are now preparing for fu
ture matches. Again this year the
team will be entered in the South
west Fencing League and later in
the spring in the Southwest Con
ference League.
The first match which was held
two weeks ago left the squad with
a defeat to redeem in their next
contest. The Moody Club of Gal
veston carried off the duels with
two out of three events.
Tom Akraman is again captain
ing the swordsmen under the di
rection of W. A. Shaw of the Eng
lish Department. Shaw took over
the duties as club sponsor replacing
Captain Roberts who was transfer
red at the close of the past school
semester.
Other members of the team in
clude Jim Rominger, Leroy Ever
ett, Bentley Clements, Bill Swig-
gert, and John Biard.
The other quarter game in bas
ketball played off saw K Infan
try hand G Infantry a 14 to 6 de
feat in a game that turned out to
be just about as rough as the Ar
tillery duel.
Ben Williams led the K Company
team with eight points and then
retired from the game. Watson,
Camp, and Friar, Williams’ re
placement, registered the other six.
Lily, playing the spark, if you call
it that, marked up four fouls and
retired on the ref’s desires. Ivie
and Catley claimed the six for
Company G.

Fish Begin
Practice For
Shorthorns
Win First Game
With Ramblers But
Lose to Rice Slimes
With a win and a loss, the Ag
gie fish settled down this week to
prepare for the pre-Thanksgiving
Day game with the University of
Texas shorthorns.
The fish won their annual open
er with the Allen Academy eleven
but dropped their last Friday night
game with the Rice Slimes 5 to 2.
This game was played in the mud
and muck where only slimes could
play, but even then it was close
all the way.
It was so close that someone took
it upon himself to look the field
over and as reported by Morris
Frank of the Houston Post, it was
found that the end zone was nine
inches short. The blocked kick
which gave the fish two points by
rolling over the end zone was cov
ered six inches over the line. An
other questionable break on the
Rice field.
During the season the freshman
squad has been working out the
same as the varsity and a few
times butted heads with the stone
wall. With the same assignment,
that of running plays of the next
team up for the varsity, the fish
have been going through the regu
lar routine of trying longhorn
plays on the squad.
This next week will be a crucial
one for both squads. The Aggies
will be striving for that undefeat
ed record and the fish will be at
tempting to stay above the .500
line.
CARBURETOR
KAYWOODIE *4
In this Kaywoodie pipe, called the Car
buretor Kaywoodie, a wonderfully sweet
smoking pipe has been improved by the
application of a neat little principle of
physics. When you take a puff at one of
these Carburetor Kaywoodies, you auto
matically draw air in through a tiny inlet
in the bottom of the bowl. That incom
ing air keeps the smoke cool, sweet and
serene, no matter how belligerently you
puff. In fact, the harder you puff, the
more air comes in. That’s why it’s called
a Carburetor Kaywoodie. Everybody
knows that a Kaywoodie is the most so-
cialiy-conscious of pipes—gets itself ad
mired everywhere. And the Kaywoodie
Flavor is famous. But don’t let us urge
you—Shown above, No. 22.
