freshman football+woudn’t let a little matter of 1200-fthe heat. “If winter ever shows up,
Thirty-four
players from five states began
workouts this week at Texas
Christian University under Coach
Walter Roach.
From Rawlins, Wyo., comes
Doug Ogbum, back, who claims to
be a Texan because he once lived
in Memphis, Texas. He planned
then to come to T. C. U., and
miles interfere with his plans.
Ted Reeves, a speedy 202-pound
tackle, came down to T. C. U. from
Newark, N. J., because he had al
ways wanted to see Texas.
Bob Kirk, Washington, D. C., is
the heaviest man on the squad. He
weighs 210 pounds and is out for a
guard post. His one complaint is
I can play some football,” he
claims.
Bob Balaban, 190-pound tackle,
is from Carvel, Kansas. Oklahoma
furnished two players for the Pol-
liwog squad—Spec Simms, fiery
center from Hollis, and A. D. Ho
gue, from Mangum.

TKY YAKKER QUINK, THE MIRACLE INK THAT CLEANS A PEN AS IT WRITES, 150 AND 250
Was The Javelina Victory In Sunny
California Really An Upset?
So the A. & I. Javelinas tumed-fcadets point to point to close the
back the San Jose eleven the first
of this week and come here to try
their hand with the Aggies.
Francis Mattingly, the 200 pound
fullback, seems to have the power
needed for coach Bud McCallum’s
squad to deal misery to the center
of their opponents line.
In ’37 when the “eggsperts”
crawled far out on the limb and
then cut the same resting place off
behind them, the Aggies turned
back the Art and Industries’ eleven,
but back in '34 it didn’t come that
easy for the little forgotten team
carried back to the capital city of
the King Ranch a fine recorded
performance as they played the
final quarter with a tied up ball
game.
This year McCallum claims to
have his finest team ever and with
the addition of the seven players
from Saint Edwards this might be
the year to deal a bit of misery
outside of their own league.
Since 1929 the Javelinas have
never failed to claim the title in
the Alamo Conference outright or
at least tie up with one of the other
squads.
The 10 to 0 win over the Califor
nia team goes down as the first
upset of the year. Perhaps it
wasn’t?

Francis Wallaces’ Pigskin Review In This
Week’s Saturday Evening Post
This week’s Saturday Evening-fguard on the second look.
Post carries Francis Wallace’s
“Pigskin Review of 1940” in which
he picks his probable All-Amer
ican as they look here in September
and names the future stars of the
nation, the outstanding gridders of
each conference, and how each con
ference is doped by him.
John Kimbrough goes down in
his book as a back on his first
string with Marshall Robnett at
Chalking up outstanding players
in each section, up came A. & I.’s
Sacks Mattingly as one of the great
fullbacks of these parts.
He sets Southern Methodist and
the Aggies in the top third of the
league with Baylor, Texas, and T.
C. U. coming close behind. In the
national standing Notre Dame re
ceives his call with the Aggies
falling second.
Words Of Warning Flow at College Night;
Football Team Carries Off Military Ranks
College Night is now a thing of-f
two days past but the remarks
made at the time will be called to
the attention of the corps time and
time again. Coach Norton said the
team must be 15 to 25 per cent
stronger than last year to turn
back all the oncomers. Members
of the team asked for the help of
the twelfth man and from the
sense of the remarks by Lieutenant
Colonel Watson it appears that
there is no reason why the corps
can’t do its part and be a bit
stronger than last season.

Jim Thomason and Tommie

brough, Henry Hauser, and Howard
Shelton became captains.
Charlie Henke carried off a pair
to become second in command of
Company M Infantry.
Down in the Bayou City under
the leadership of Jess Neeley, Fred
Wolcott has once again started in
to training for the hurdles. This
time he’s going over beef and
brawn in attempt to claim himself
a place on the Owls’ starting elev
en.
Last Saturday the Owls ran
through their first scrimmage and
looked rough in some spots but a
bit more deceptive than a Rice
team has ever appeared.
Neeley claims they are too slow,
and perhaps the line and a few of
the backs are, but if the track-
famed Wolcott picks up any more
speed, he’d better go back to the
track elsewhere and forget the
rough game.
Razorbacks
Show Little
Possibilities
(This is one in a series of stories
to be written on the football teapis
of the Southwest Conference.)
By Jack Hollimon
The razzle-dazzle play of the
Arkansas Razorbacks from the
Ozarks shows little possibility of a
championship club for 1940, but it
can be counted on for a small a-
mount of upsetting and all-around
good football this fall.
The boys from Fayetteville are
putting their faith in a little man
who can really pass the pigskin
and handle his share of defensive
work, namely Harold Hamberg.
Hamberg is only 5 feet 9 inches
tall and tilts the scales to an even
143 pounds. Coach Fred C. Thom
sen says Harold is the smallest
regular in the Southwest Confer
ence in many years, but Thomsen
has him slated to be a regular in
this fall’s gridiron campaign.
The backfield of the Hogs is
suffering from green material and
this has been Thomsen’s main rea
son for his prominent crying towel.
Besides Hamberg, there are two o-
ther sophomores who have gained
a starting berth on the varsity
eleven :Felice Cialone, a 185-pound
er from Fort Smith, and Bob
Forte, another 185-pounder from
Lake Village. The other member of
the backfield quartet is the 195-
pound Junior from Batesville,
Arkansas, Estes, McDaniel. That
fine passer, Kay Eakin, was lost

Once more school is under way
and the kinks are beginning to
clear from the brains of the Cadets
while our Physical Education de
partment is making preparations
to eliminate kinks from the brawn.
Selection of organization managers
is the first step and following this
is a banquet for them. The tenta
tive date for putting on the feed
bag is Thursday the 26th. Present
plans will see the first contests
starting on October 7th with Bas
ketball, Tennis, and Handball lead
ing off in class “A” while Touch
Football, Basketball, and Swimming
starts the ball rolling in class “B”.
Changes for this year’s program
are completely covered in the new
hand-book and all upperclassmen
are urged to familiarize themselv
es with the revised edition. One
of the major changes is in the
swimming program. Instead of the
usual meet, which only gives each
organization one chance to parti
cipate, a new arrangement has
been made to allow each team sev
eral contests. The new program is
to be run off much the same as
other sports, with each organiza
tion in a particular league.
The eleventh commandment: “If
any shall fail in their stewardship
of the Earth, their faithful fields
shall become sterile, stony ground
and wasting gullies, and their des-
cendents shall decrease and live in
poverty or perish from off the face
of the Earth.”
A sport which was introduced in
the Intramural program last year
as no point game has gained ground
this year and the department is
giving points to the winners. This
year another sport enters the realm
of Intramural competition by the
same route. Golf will be on the list
of recognized Intramural contests
but organizations making entries
can receive no points toward the
championship.
As in the past, credit for phy
sical education will be given for
satisfactory participation in. the
Intramural program with one ma
jor change. “During December and
January when the weather is such
that it will be considered unhealth
ful to meet the regular classes
students will meet at the Assembly
Hall for talks on factors influenc
ing their health. All students, re
gardless of the program which they
are enrolled in, will be required to
meet for these talks.” The quoted
paragraph is from the Booklet
“The Physical Education Program
of A. & M. College” which will be
distributed to the Freshmen dur
ing their P. E. classes.
