PAGE 4 THE BATTALION HO."HUB" JOHNSON BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR Grid Season Gets Under Way With Southwest Stars Again in the Spot The official opening of the South west Conference football season took place last night as the S. M. U.. Ponies tangled with the U. C. L. A. Bruins in California. This evening the games come a bit closer to home as the remainder of the league teams except Rice take on their first foes of the year. Usually these games are called warm-up games but this year the Southwest teams will have to be plenty hot to assure themselves of big wins. The Aggies take on the A. & I. Javelinas for the fifth time in the history of the two schools. Three Aggie Jewelers For Over Fifty Years Diamonds Watches Aggie Jewelry If It’s New— We Have It!

This was in 1934. This evening the Aggies will again claim a win over the Alamo Conference team, but not as bad as they did in '38, with the score 52 to 0. Texas University on “Forty Acres” take on the Colorado Uni versity from out in the Colorado Mountains. This should go to Bible’s boys. Baylor University will take their opener from North Texas Teachers. The score of this game might tell just what to expect from the Bears in the games to come. Arkansas should turn back the Edmond Teachers with ease. This game will give the sophs on the Ozarks team a good bit of playing experience. T. C. U. will face the Centenary Gents for their opener. This will be the second game for the Loui siana, the first being their looser to the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys last week. Though the Gents lost some of their dependable players to the National Guard, they should throw a heavy load at the Frogs. The finish—close, but here’s stick ing the neck out and giving the Gents the upper side. Rice takes a holiday and waits until next Saturday to start the roll. Other games to be outstanding today should be Tulane opening with Boston College, Santa Clara preparing for the U. C. L. A. Bruins next week with the Utah State eleven, University of South ern California and Washington State, and L. S. U. taking on Mis sissippi. A&M Again Will Compile SW Statistics For the sixth consecutive year Texas A. & M. College will again compile and release official South west Conference football statistics, with the cooperation of the other six member schools. This service to the conference was started in 1935 by Tony Ket- terson, formerly of the Texas A. & M. College Publicity Department, as an extra service to the news papers, radio stations and football fans and coaches. After the 1936 season the Conference Board voted to make the statistics official and appointed Texas A. & M. College to do the work. H. B. McElroy took over the job in 1937 and continued as statistician through the 1939 season. E. C. Oates, who was assistant statistician last year, has taken over the work for this season as McElroy is devoting his time to other phases of football. Complete individual and team statistics will be released at the first of each week to approximately 450 newspapers and radio stations. This service will include all games of the teams of the Southwest Conference, both conference and non-conference. This service is one of the bases used by the national rating system and it has shown its worth in that T. C. U. in 1938 and Texas A. & M. in 1939 were picted as the national honor teams. Any information of football sta tistics for the Conference may be procured by writing to the statis tician at Texas A. & M. College. Team statisticians lor the indi vidual schools are: Weldon Hart, Texas University; Bill Wallace, Rice Institute; J. Willard Ridings T. C. U.; Hugh Welch, S. M. U.; Charles Blalack, Baylor and W. J. Lemke, Arkansas. The Aggie Spirit is one thing the boys take to the hospital whether or not they take any other kind. After a brief visit in the hospital, I found that after the supper in the wards (be what it is), the hospital is a constant roar until the yell practice starts down on the ‘Y’ steps. A window will slip up and the wards quieten a bit. When the Spirit of Aggieland and the War Cry were played Thursday night you could have heard a pin drop in the operating room. Even the nurses seemed to walk on their toes. This evening the age old question will come up as to whether or not certain students are sitting in the senior section. To clear the doubt, a picture has been run on the edi torial page with the designated section shaded. It runs from the Don’t Forget! For Corsages See WYATT’S Flower Shop Phone No. 93, Bryan For Delivery Man Bites Dog Doesn’t Look Bad Compared To This The “man bites dog” story had its counterpart at Texas A. & M College this week, and in view of the fact that Southwest colleges recently have been accused of proselyting athletes, the happen ing is worthy of mention. Two high school athletes who had declared their intention of at tending two other conference schools and had accepted summer employment from supporters those schools, reported at A. & M. and asked to be allowed to come out for the freshman team. Both these boys were outstanding stars last year and under ordinary cir cumstances would have been very welcome, but Coach Homer Nor ton told them to return to the col leges of their original choice and give the coaches there a chance to talk to the boys. Both coaches were notified and told the exact circumstances each case so that A. & M. and its coaches would not be blamed for luring any prospects away from north 25 yard line to the 50 yard line.

The Frogs take on this favorite opponent in the kick-off game of the 1940 season at 2:30 p. m. today in Fort Worth. T. C. U. and Centenary met on the gridiron for the first time in 1923, the Frogs taking a shut-out licking from the Gentlemen, 0 to 23. Three years later, in their second meeting, the Frogs got revenge, winning 26 to 14. Coach Jake Hanna of Centenary, then a sophomore star with the Gentlemen, sparkplugged his mates to a 7-to-3 victory in 1927. In the total of 11 games played, T. C. U. has come off victorious in six, lost four and tied one. The all-time score between the two schools is T. C. U. 153, Centenary TEXAS A. & I. FOOTBALL SQUAD Name Pos.
