Many Tall Tales Due To Be Spread Around;
Tennis Team Holds Meeting To Start Year
Now that the UCLA game is
over, every one is looking forward
to this week’s match with T.C.U.
—that is with the possible except
ion of the Aggies who are between
College Station and Los Angeles
with nothing to ride but the well-
worn thumb.—Keyes Carson came
in yesterday at 10:45 after 34 hours
of hitchhiking and will be on hand
to meet the team when they arrive
at 9:50 this morning.
Many a tall tale will be told
this week by the boys who went
to the West coast - and they won’t
all be about football.
T. H. Terrell held a meeting of
tennis players yesterday to get a
line on this year’s Varsity and
Freshmen teams. The Vasity pros
pects look pretty good with sev
eral letermen back and sophomores
to fill many of the empty courts
left vacant by last year’s gradu
ation.
Robnett Lives Up to His Promises By
Laying Robinson and Bartlett Low Early
Marshell Robnett apparently-^
wasn’t wasting words when he said
that he was going to pulverize a
couple of “right boys” in last
week’s game with UCLA. Jackie
Robinson left the game early when
Rob laid him low on a tackle but
Ray Bartlett was made of a little
thicker material and lasted until
the fourth quarter under constant
hammering of the Southern team.

Basey,
Texas University lost a
for the season when V. D.
guard, ended up on the wrong end
of a knife in Dallas Saturday
night. Although Basey’s condition
is very serious, he will pull through
in fine shape barring complications.
This season seems to be a hard
one as far as losing players is
concerned; S. M. U. dropped a back-
field man as did Baylor in acci
dents.
Don’t forget to go down and see

A & M Drubs UCLA
7 to 0 For Third
Victory of Season
The Texas Aggies rolled on to
another victory last Saturday in
Memorial Coliseum at Los Angeles
when they took the U. C. L. A.
Bruins into camp 7-0. This in
tersectional tilt gave the Cadets
their 16th consecutive victory and
the third win of the 1940 cam
paign.
A. & M. failed to ring up more
than one touchdown, but the score
does not indicate what the Aggie
dreadnaught did to a U. C. L. A.
line. Kimbrough and Company
tore the line to shreds in a valiant
sixty minutes of slashing play.
Before a crowd numbering over
60,000, A. & M. crashed over the
double chalkmark on an intercepted
pas by Kimbrough, two runs by
Willie Conatser, a pair by Kim
brough, and the final run being
made by “Jarrin’ John” who car
ried over from the nine yard
stripe.
U. C. L. A. got plenty of breaks
but they were unable to cash in
on the golden opportunities. Mar
shall Robnett, a man of his word,
ripped through a heralded Uclan
line in the second period to snare
fleet Jackie Robinson, colored Bruin
back, and U. C. L. A.’s hopes
diminished when Robinson was tak
en off the field too injured to con
tinue the game.
Vicious blocking helped an Ag
gie cause that has grown in in
tensity with every game. And the
club is shaping into the machine
that wore the maroon and white
of 1939.
A great Cadet defense held the
Bruins down to a net gain of
two yards rushing for the after
noon, but UCLA came through
with some inspired passing in the
last half that had the Norton
charges fighting deep in their
own territory. When the Bruin
battering went for naught the air-
lanes gave the Uclans 122 yards of
gain.
Jim Thomason, devastating
blocker for A. & M. tried his hand
at carrying the mail, and proved
that there is plenty of power in
the man who leads the way. He
picked up 13 yards in two tries'
with the pigskin.
The first string forward wall
for A. & M. dealt misery to any
activity in the Bruin backfield
as every play saw one or more Ag
gies filter into the Uclan secon
dary.
A. & M. muffed a couple of
other chances to score during the
game and these came about by
mistakes of the Aggies. Play is im
proved, however, and the confer
ence clash on Kyle field next Sat
urday should bring out a smoother
combination.

Intramurals
Swimming System Works Smoothly;
Forfeit Doghouse Hits New Low
m
By Bob Myers
According to Coach Art Adam
son, the new system of running
intramural swimming is really
working smoothly. Last year’s
swimming was all scheduled for
one day and required quite a bit
of splashing at once to complete.
This year each organization has
been assigned to a league and
swims against
other members of
its league; the
winners of each
against each other
in the run-offs.
An increased en
rollment brought
about the changes
and from partici
pation records, it
looks as though
greater enthusiasm has been cre
ated. This can easly be understood
since each organization has many
opportunities to enter competition
instead of only one that existed in
the old “one big splash system.”

FORFEIT DOGHOUSE
2nd Corps Headquarters
A new low has been set for the
DOGHOUSE with only one guest
registering for this issue. With a
little more organizing the house
should soon be bare. Forfeits not
only cause an unnecessary loss to
the organization but also knock
the opposing team out of a game.
Let’s keep the slate clean.
Sabins of 3rd Hq. Field Artil
lery came out high point man once
more with a total of eight points
when the “buggy boys” rode hard
over 3rd Corps Headquarters to
to the tune of 28-14 in a fast game
of basketball.
D Coast Artillery and B Eng
ineers proved to be two very even
ly matched teams on the basketball
court by playing two nip and tuck
halves of basketball that ended
with the “BB’s” on top of a 12-10
score.
Another victory for the Coast
when B Battery won a 2-1 decision
from B Cavalry in a fast game of
handball. King and Ozier won from
Taylor and Curry while Dooley
and Dunn took Robinson and Me
Guiness to put the game on ice
for the Coast. Smith and Schuchar
won over Nethery and Capt for
the losers.

high officials indicate that the
films will be used to distribute and
loan to former students’ associa
tions, mothers clubs and other A.
& M. clubs throughout the nation.
A staff announcement yester
day morning indicated that the
principal aim of Aggietone News
was to serve as a diary of A. & M.
activities this year and in years
to come.
Fuermann pointed out that the
corps should not expect too much
from the first edition of Aggietone
News. “The staff has worked dil
igently to produce a near-profes
sional newsreel, but this is our
first effort and it will naturally be
amateurish. As time passes we hope
'to produce a continually improving
newsreel which will measure up to
Aggie wishes and expectations,”
Fuermann said.
Following tonight’s world pre
miere, the regular showing of Ag
gietone News will begin its regular
showing tomorrow and Thursday.
College officials, student executiv
es and notables from over the state
will be in attendance at tonight’s
premiere.
An anticipated crowd of more
than three thousand will be led in
a yell practice by junior yell lead
ers- Skeen Staley and Bill Beck
from the marquee of the theater
and senior yell leaders E. R. Kee
ton and C. J. Bland from within
the theater. Cadet Colonel William
A. Becker will speak briefly on be
half of the corps.

things of interest to their associ
ation about the college.
The Texas Association is particu
larly important because this is the
largest wool producing state in the
nation, producing 80,000,000 pounds
in 1937. This was one fifth of the
total for all states in that per
iod. The wool scouring plant was
set up at the college by the state
largely as a result of the undivid
ed support of the sheep and goat
raisers of Texas and the directors
are now holding their meeting here
so that they may inspect the new
and enlarged plant. The plant
serves the useful purpose of test
ing grades and shrinkages in Tex
as wool and issuing the infor
mation to producers through the
Agricultural Experiment Station
bulletins.
