Tradition or Common Sense?
New Location For Yell Practice
In last Saturday’s Battalion there
appeared an article as to the
change of the place for yell prac
tices. The time has at last come,
in fact, it has been here for the
last two or. three years for a new
place to be chosen.
Traditions have recently found
that they alone do not rule the
spirit of Aggieland. The sugges
tion made by Buster seems to be
one well worth recognizing. It was
suggested that a permanent struc
ture be erected equiped with lights

and public address system.
The public address system plan
ned to be used is one that would
allow the yell leaders to walk,
crawl, jump, or do what they might
choose on the platform and still
pick up every word. Our only
hope that there won’t be any
chance for one to attach a record
ing system without warning.
After September of ’41 the
houses in that vicinity will be nil
and this would leave even a bet
ter place for the corps for years
to come.
The old football season seemed
to open a bit more this past week
end with a few games being play
ed in the Southwest although no
conference teams competed.
Cowboy Murray Evans of the
Hardin Simmons eleven again took
the credit for the win from the
Centenary Gents as his trained toe
placed the skin accurately through
the uprights. Last year the West
Texas team won 7 to 6 with Evans
converting. Saturday they won

For Journey
To Rose Bowl
22 Lettermen Fill
First-String Posts
By Charlie Babcock
Ever since the Rose Bowl gates
were locked after that frightful
game with Stanford on the first
day of 1936, the rampaging S. M.
U. Mustangs have been denied con
quest and championship. For four
long, lean years, the Ponies have
missed the Southwest Conference
trophy, but the Methodist loyals
are claiming that 1940 will be dif
ferent. Already the chant is be
ing boomed around Dallas that S.
M. U. is the team that will stop
the champion Aggies.
They can do it, for Coach Matty
Bell turned up this fall with a
wealth of material up front as
well as in the backfield. And that
material played pretty fair ball in
1939.
Out of twenty-two lettermen re
turning, five veterans will be sta
tioned at the wing, posts. This
flock of ends is headed by Roland
Goss, the rip-snorting end who
set the league on fire last year
as a sophomore. Goss should prove
to be one of the best terminal men
in America this year. His asso
ciate lettermen at the same posi
tion this season will be Baccus,
180 pounds; Collins, 185 pounds;
Keeton, 170 pounds; and Tunnell,
ISO pounds.
The big boys at the tackle posi
tions are lettermen Barnett, Har
ris, and Pasqua. Next to these
three men will be lettermen
Bianchi, DuVall, Fawcett, and
Limes, all at the guard slots.
Ray Pope, Grandview center, has
a job on his hands keeping rough
and tough Charles McGaffey, Port
Arthur junior, on the No. 2 team,
but Pope, two year letterman, is
in the fore and looks like he will
have a great senior year.
Ray Mallouf, faster than ever
and about as easy to handle as boil
ed okra, has been doing his half
back chores in pleasing fashion,
turning in several sensational
scampers in early scrimmage.
Preston Johnston, leading Pony
punter, has also been cutting plenty
of capers in early combating, show
ing tremendous power in his run
ning.
With Mallouf and Johnston in
the first line of backs are Bobby
Brown, senior from San Angelo,
and Will Mullenweg, who was con
sidered the most potent path-clear-
er in the conference last fall.
Brown is calling signals for the
No. 1 bunch and is looking improv
ed with his blocking and ball car
rying. Mullenweg has been show
ing up fine as line backer.
Behind these four mainstays are
five valuable lettermen backs,
namely, Clement, Elden, Geise, Mc
Clain, and Young.
Yes sir, you can look forward
to a great season for the Ponies.
They have the ability, spirit, and
hustle. Watch ’em go.

to end the game 15 to 13. The
Gents recently lost seven or eight
of their regular players due to
the calling of the National Guard.
Coach Puny Wilson who last
year carried his team to Houston
to disgrace the Rice Owls opened
the Sam Houston State Teachers’
season with a 32 to 6 win over
Trinity University of Waxahachie.
With the sophomores composing
half of the 32 men Louisiana State
University used in their game
against the Louisiana Tech, they
turned back their opponents and
carried off the game 39 to 7.

Williamson Picks Texas A&I
As Number Six Team In The Nation
By Paul B. Williamson
The Kentucky Colonels stand
as the No. 1 team of the nation
after the first big week of 1940
football in which dark horses kick
ed up a crazy stampede.
The Colonels backed their Wil
liamson System dark horse rating
by trouncing the reportedly strong
Ohio conference Baldwin-Wallace
Yellowjackets 59-7. Although the
System expected fine things of
Kentucky it’s doubtful that even
the Colonel’s most enthusiastic fans
imagined such a decisive victory
over the Yellowjackets.
That was just a case > of the
strong Southeastern conference
against a weaker northern circuit.
We figured the Southeast teams
better, but not by the margin in
dicated on the Kentucky-Baldwin-
Wallace score. To the last team,
the Southeastern conference was
consistent for the System last
week.
Three phantom teams that upset
the System in the crazy stampede
were Texas A. & I., North Carolina
State and the San Marcos Teachers
of Texas.
The Javelinas of A. & I. blanked
the Spartans of San Jose State
10 to 0, the first time in 40 games
All freshmen interested in play
ing “fish” football are to report

Varsity Tennis players will meet

meeting on the second floor of the
«Y”
since 1937 that the Spartans fail
ed to score. A. & I. held the Spar
tans to their closest victory last
year, 9 to 0, and came back to
polish them off this season.
Any team that can upset a squad
coached by the Veteran Pop War
ner and Den Winkleman bears
watching. There’s plenty money in
Kleberg county, Texas, that says
the Javelinas from the big King
ranch will take the highly-touted
Texas Aggies.
The crippled, mobilization-de
pleted Wolfpack of North Caro
lina State came out snarling like
treed panthers to blank the favor
ed Indians of William and Mary
16 to 0. By any process of calcu
lation the Indians rated the nod
over the Wolfpack, and some of the
sectional sports writers were ex

ANSWER TO SATURDAY’S

The solution to the farmer’s
problem is a simple 1, 2, 3 algebra
problem involving the use of si
multaneous equations. By inspec

the farmer and 39 for his wife fit
the requirements, and mathema
