Texas A&I Trips San Jose 10 to 0
Tonight is College Night. This is
one night long remembered in the
passing events of all Aggies. It is
the time at which just another
freshman is introduced to the first
bit of Aggie Spirit.
Upperclassmen have long talked
of the night as the years roll by.
Freshmen have looked at their cal
endar and often wondered as to the

San Jose Defeat
Is the First In
Over Forty Years
For the fourth time in forty
starters the San Jose eleven was
dumb-founded last Monday as the
Texas A. & I. Javelinas ran up a
10 to 0 score over the California
eleven.
After a long and tiresome trip to
the West Coast by bus rather than
by train as most squads travel
these days, the Texas team was
expected to be sort of a push over
for the team that led the nation in
running up the points last year.
But reversing the tables, the Art
and Industries’ team paid back the
defeat of last year and added one
point to boot. Last year the San
Jose team won by 9 to 0.
A 56 yard march set the ball in
scoring position late in the second
quarter and John Vargo crossed on
a quarterback sneak.
John Hilliard substituting for
Sacks Mattingly converted for the
seventh point and later in the third
period kicked a field goal after
line play failed to gain on the fifty
yard line.
What makes the Javelina victory
so outstanding is that they defeated
a team which was undefeated and
untied for three years and has as
its coach Ben Winkleman and Glenn
(Pop) Warner, two of the nation’s
renowned coaches.

meaning.
Probably the best words to the
freshmen are those “Jeep” Oates
offered last year.
“You are all AGGIES. That
word means something to most
of us, football players and all.
The ball club is part of the
school and a part of us. We
back the ball club, win, loose,
or draw, and we expect you to
do the same. We have a team
made up of Aggies, not one of
high-priced, highly-touted, out-
of-state thugs.”
The team to be introduced to
you tonight is the team we are to
boost this year and much the same
as the one we boosted last year.
It is your team if you are to be an
AGGIE.
In the drivers seat will be Buster
Keeton and Foots Bland, senior yell
leaders. These two men have talked
the Aggie spirit from the “Brazos
Bottoms” far into every part of
the state and into many foreign
states. This year they will take it
to the West Coast as the squad
faces the U. C. L. A. Bruins.
Yesterday after a heated discus
sion on the coming season, Foots
Bland gave a bit of warning which
is well worth repeating.
“The twelfth man this year
has the heaviest burden ever
known by an A. & M. twelfth
man of A. & M. College, and
this should be realized by every
member of the student body.
“There is a tendency to look
too far ahead by a great num
ber of us and I sincerely hope
that this will be forgotten and
that our proceedings will be a
bit more cautious for we are
in a hot place.
“All of the other teams are
going to be after us and doing
all in their power to knock us
down. So please forget we were
ever ‘No. 1’ team of the nation
and stay behind the boys game
for game, ’cause that is the
way they are looking at it and
are going to play it. And if we
keep that good old fight up,
we will be able to give every
team a darn good fight.”

The Blue Devils of Duke Uni
versity should win the mythical
title of national football champions
this season. The dazzling Dukes
from Durham, N. C., brilliantly
coached by Wallace Wade, are
primed to wipe out that 14-13
smear by Pitt last year and punch
through a tough schedule to top
grid honors in 1940.
If the pre-season dope I have
gathered from more than 700 col
leges run true, these fifteen teams
in our game with them,” Norton
said. “Coach Bud McCallum is
mighty good at turning out a lot
of trick offenses and particularly
defense setups. That is what is
worrying me. And on top of that
they have a fine team down there
this year. One of the best they
have ever had,” he added.

with the class A talent Coach Mat
