Aggies Down Frogs 21-7 For Fifteenth Win
TCU Goes Dawn Under Brilliant Play;
Rebuilt Baylor Squad Up For A&M Saturday
One of the largest crowds everf"
to witness a T. C. U.-A. & M. game
on Kyle Field thrilled Saturday as
all Aggie players turn in play that
set them on their way into the hard
road of the conference schedule.
Jim Thomasqn turned in one of
the greatest games he ever played
on home ground while John Kim
brough set up those neede'd yards
and laid low many would be tack
ier s as Bill Conatser, Marland Jef
fry, Derace Moser, Marion Pugh,
and Thomason ran through and
around the Frog forward wall.
On the line Charlie Henke and
Ernie Panell stood hard fast
against the constant pounding of
the Christian backs, Marshall Rob-
nett tore through to spill the T.
C. U. quartet time and time again,
Chip Routt and Martin Ruby shared
the other tackle duties with fine
play, Tommy Vaughn and Odell
Herman called great defensive sig
nals, and Boots Simmons and Jim
Sterling climbed high to complete
the aerial attack.
Next Saturday a new Baylor
team will attempt to halt the Ag
gies’ march. With one conference
loss behind them, the Bears will
be playing ball to repay the cadets
for last year’s 20 to 0 defeat.
With Parks and Crain in the
backfield for Bigony and Wilson,
the Bears have buckled down to
play a different offensive game
than they threw against the North
Texas Teachers and Colorado.
It will be both team’s second
game for record and the Aggies
will have to play hard football to
come away with the deserved win.
Showdown Of Southwest Teams Saturday;

beaten and untied teams of the na

Cadets Make
All 3 Scores
In 2nd Quarter
Three Conversions
Bring Pugh’s Average
To 7 of 7 Attempted
By Jack Hollimon
Under a midsummer sun Satur
day afternoon on Kyle Field, the
Texas Aggies ran their string of
consecutive victories to fifteen
straight when they clinched the
first conference game of the seas
on by smashing T.C.U. 21 to 7.
With the power turned on, the
Cadets reeled off 21 points in the
second quarter to take command of
an otherwise listless clash. Playing
against an unorthodox Frog de
fense, A. & M. took to the air and
slipped over three touchdowns be
fore “Dutch” Meyer could rally
his forces.
“Dookie” Pugh and Jim Thom
ason, star Aggie backs, galloped
all around the cowtown boys to
turn in great performances. Pugh
came through with another perfect
day behind the goalposts when he
converted successfully three times.
This is the seventh conversion he
has attempted this season and his
record is unblemished.
After an uneventful first quar
ter, the Nortonmen took to the air
and Pugh passed to “Boots” Sim
ons down on the 10 yard stripe
where he evaded one tackier and
fell over the double chalkmark.
Pugh placed his educated toe on the
pigskin and the score was 7 to 0.
T.C.U. received and on the sec
ond play after the kickoff, Pugh in
tercepted a Frog Pass. John Kim
brough went into his new role of
passer and sailed one down field
to Jim Thomason who gathered
the ball in on T.C.U.’s 10 yard
without a Frog near. Pugh again
line and filtered across the goal
gained another point with a per
fect conversion.
Again A. & M. struck the South
west Conference way when Pugh
threw a 10 yard ground gainer
to Thomason on the Frog 20 and
“Blocker” Jim blasted with all the
style and power of a certified mail
carrier. Once again, the talented
Pugh counted another point on
conversion to maul T. C. U. 21 to
0.
Late in the third, T.C.U. scored
on a fluke pass from Bagley to
Brumbaugh. The ball was batted
around by several Aggies before
it was finally trapped by the Frog
receiver, and it was intentionally
meant for another man.
The game ended with the Cadet
Corps giving “Lizzie” and the ball
neatly placed near the T.C.U. goal
stripe.
Due to the persistency of

Field in keeping out the Bat

goal but failed to convert either
time for the extra point. The score,

Cross country will be run on the

the Turkey day that we play T. U.
—Official training dates will be
announced later, but until then an
early start won’t do any harm. It’s
a long way from start to finish.

Goes To Irish
After Tech Defeat
By Paul D. Williamson
The fighting Irish with the mis
leading names from Notre Dame
rocketed to the' head of the nation’s
football heap with a 61 to 0 rout
of Carnegie Tech.
That was the greatest defeat
for the Pittsburgh boys since 1906,
except for a trouncing by the same
score from Penn State in 1910. It
was according to the Williamson
Ratings. Looks like the Irish ev
ened up a lot of grudges from the
days when Tech bumped off their
high aspirations.
Notre Dame pushed Cornell out
of the No. 1 seat because that
trouncing was more impressive
than The Big Reds’ 33-to-6 victory
over Syracuse. The System usually
does NOT consider top-heavy scores
beyond a certain value, but there
are exceptions to all rules.

Defeats Normangee
45-6; Still Unbeaten
The undefeated A. & M. Con
solidated Tigers continued their
amazing winning streak as they
buried Normangee, 45 to 6, at For
rest Field in Bryan last week end.
Featuring the running and pas
sing of Jack Beezley, the Tigers
gained at will throughout its stay
in the game. Kenneth Kinzy, end,
picked up some valuable yardage
on end-around plays, and played
a good defensive game.
The first stringers never let the
visitors have a chance, their de
fense smothering the Panther at
tack. The only time Normangee
threatened was in the final period
when Tiger subs talked and drew
a 15 yard penalty. This made con
solidated kick off from the 25 ra
ther than the 40. Clyde Shaeffer
nearly missed the ball on the kick
off, the boot going only 2 yards to
the 27. But the Panthers couldn’t
get going, and the ball went over
to the Tigers on the 32.
Highlight of the game was Vin
cent’s leaping catch of Beezely’s
brilliant aerial for 20 yards. Block
ed kicks, intercepted passes, and a
great offense and defense by the
Tigers, contributed greatly to the
victory.
Princeton university’s freshman
class of 655 is the second largest
in its history.
