With Hub Johnson
Bears Regain Prestige
Last Saturday in San Antonio
a downcast Baylor team took to the
same field on which the Texas Ag
gies had given their warning to
the rest of the nation that once a-
gain they were a bruin’.
For three quarters they played
on the wrong side and then in the
final period a new Baylor team
took over. The Baylor line was the
“Good Old Baylor Line” once more.
They defeated Villanova 7 to 0.
The year before the Aggies had
turned the Eastern gridmen back
with a heavy 33 to 7 score in the
Rose Classic in Tyler.
When the two teams meet this
week the cadets will be attempt
ing to take their first Waco game
since 1934. For it was that year
that the 14 year “jinx” was broken.
The Aggies had not won since 1920
in the North Brazos City.
Escaping from the T. C. U. game
with no injuries the Cadets will be
at full strength for the Bears who
regained their prestige last week.
James Witt, five foot 11 inch,
175 pound back of the Baylor Bears
leads the list of ground gainers
this week with an average of 5.49
yards per carry and a total of
35 carries.
Marion Pugh is the highest man
of the Aggies squad with an aver
age of 4.54 yards.
Some interested Juniors came
back at the scribe yesterday in an
swer to the bleed in Tuesday’s Batt.
Perhaps some of the three year men
really put out but there were many
who didn’t.
As for passing the yells back
to the seniors, they offered as an
excuse the fact that the sophs and
fish didn’t give it to them. This is
a problem for the classes.
As to the junior section, just
how did it come about?
I was standing in the senior
section on the 40-yard line and the
juniors in that section put out
from the lungs until after the let
down in the second half.

Come-back on A&M
Waco, Texas, Oct. 23—The Bay
lor bears face their hardest test
of the year here Saturday when
the mighty Texas A. & M. Aggies
come to Waco for the Bruin’s sec
ond conference tilt.
Coach Morley Jennings’ Bap
tist gridders came back strong last
week with some of the greatest
defensive play in the history of
the school to turn back a stubborn
Villanova eleven 7 to 0. This win
meant a lot to the Bears because
it showed them they could carry
on without the aid of their star
tailback, Jack Wilson, and the Ag
gies might run into more trouble
than they look for when they try
to pick up their 16th straight
win.
Texas A. & M. swept past T.C.U.
21 to 7 last Saturday and will en
ter the game heavy favorites over
the Bears. The Baylor eleven will
be playing before an expected home
coming crowd of 20,000 and might
pull one of the season’s biggest
upsets and blast the powerful Ag
gies from the undefeated list.
The Baylor ground game looked
much better against Villanova last
Saturday night in San Antonio and
if the play keeps improving this
week, the game might be a close
battle all the way. Defensively, the
Bears are just a step behind the
Aggies and Baylor coaches are hop
ing their gridders will turn in a-
nother great defensive game this
week.
“That Good Old Baylor Line”
was working smoothly against the
Pennsylvanians >md sophomores
turned in great line play. Jack
Russell, big 210 pound Baylor end,
set the pace with the greatest end
play San Antonio grid fans have
ever seen and Philadelphia sport
writers said that the all-around de
fensive play was the best they had
witnessed in the last five years.
Coach Art Adamson has called a
meeting for all varsity and last
year’s freshmen swimmers for to
night at 8 p.m.
Last week before the Frog-Aggie
tilt the T.C.U. Publicity Service
recorded the years of experience
of the two teams. The Christians
had 14 men with 20 years of ex
perience while the cadets marked
up 54 years with service from 23
lettermen. . . Injuries have hit the
Mustang squad pretty hard since
the start of the season with Elder
out due to an accident as he rush
ed across town to catch the Pitt
special, Hagerman is out with a
bruised hip, Baccus is out with a
twisted knee, Collins DuVall, Bos
tick and Bianchi are all out with
back or spine injuries, and Thomas
was removed for the season with a
fractured foot.
Leonard Pugh, T. C. U. left
tackle, and Marion Pugh, A. & M.
back, played on the same teams at
North Side High in Fort Worth and
graduated in the same class, but
they are not related.
Southwest Conference elevens

ed are Alabama, California, Colo

Brother Combination
Baylor’s Nelson Brothers
Are Products From Bryan
By Jack Hollimon ■"
When the Texas Aggies do bat
tle with Baylor University next
Saturday, a couple of boys from
Bryan will take the field for the
Bears and prepare to carry on a
record that has caused Aggie men
tors many hours of planning and
worry.
Robert Nelson, most outsanding
player for Baylor against A. & M.
in 1939, will take his center position
at the start and deal the Aggies
plenty of misery during the follow
ing sixty minutes of smashing
spins and power drives.
In all of the games of his spec
tacular career. Nelson ha^ been
given everything possible by the
opposing clubs in an effort to get
him out of the play, but he has kept
fighting and putting all of his en
ergies into every quarter. Any coach
that has come in contact with his
slashing defense arranges for all
of the plays to avoid the pivot pos
ition, because Nelson has an uncan
ny ability of breaking up the goal
line rushes.
This year the game should be
double tough because in the event
that he sees service in the back-
field, another Nelson is set to fol
low in brother Bob’s footsteps. The
name of this newcomer who is
gunning for Aggie ball runners is
Travis Nelson, 165-pounds of shift
ing, hustling football player. Cou
pled with Bob, who weighs a mere
197-pounds and stands 6 feet
2 inches in his stocking feet, these
two lads should give the Aggie
powerhouse an interesting after
noon with plenty of surprises.
Baylor has had setbacks during
the current season when injuries
and an extremely close defeat have
dropped them down from pennant
contenders to a team that is slat
ed to drop some more games be
fore the last round this winter, but
with two men as versatile and de
termined as the Bryan products
playing for the Bruins, anything
can happen—and it might!
TCU Encounters
Tulsa Saturday
Saturday, against the Golden
Hurricane of the University of Tul
sa in Tulsa, Okla., the T.C.U. Horn
ed Frogs will play their third
consecutive game away from
home, each game in a different
state—North Carolina, Texas and
Oklahoma.
The Frogs have played and won
from the Hurricanes each year
since Coach Dutch Meyer became
head football man at T.C.U. Prior
to that time (1934), the two schools
had met four times, each winning
two contests.
Saturday’s affair in Tulsa will
be Homecoming Day for the Hur
ricane, and Coach Chet BenfieTs
boys may be expected to put forth
their best efforts to give the alumni
a victory. In fact, the Hurricane
usually plays one of its best games
against the Frogs.
The T. C. U.-Tulsa series start
ed in 1921 and includes nine games,
seven won by T.C.U. and two by
Tulsa. The all-time score is: T.C.U.
110, Tulsa 66.

A&M Picked to Win;
Game Is Possible Upset
By Paul B. Williamson i
The Williamson System picks
Cornell and Pennsylvania to win
in the two biggest games this week
end.
Cornell plays Ohio State at
Ithaca, N. Y. The ratings heavily
favor the undefeated and untied
Big Reds. Cornell has a rating of
99.2 and Ohio State, loser to Min
nesota and Northwestern, rates at
91.7. The Buckeyes had a great po
tential team with good possibili
ties of another Big Ten champion
ship, but they can’t seem to get go
ing in the pinches.
Pennsylvania, playing Michigan
at Ann Arbor, has a slight margin
in the ratings with 97.1 to 95.8 for
Michigan. It’s the difference be
tween a powerhouse-steady squad
and a swell team outstanding for
its star backs, Tom Harmon and
Forest Evashevski. Coach George
Munger’s Quakers have been tak
ing everything in stride, mostly by
top - heavy scores. ° Herbert O.
(Fritz) Crisler’s Wolverines have
a mighty pretentious record be
hind this season—undefeated and
untied. But, we’ll stay with the
ratings and the steady-playing
Quakers.
Fordham should have an easy
time with St. Mary, playing in
New York, but this battle always
is a bloody one. Others that should
be easy are: Notre Dame over
Illinois, Georgetown U. over N.Y.
U., Nebraska over Missouri, Stan
ford over Southern California, Ten
nessee over Florida, Navy over
Yale, Texas over Rice, and Ole
Miss over Arkansas.
The System takes, Columbia over
Syracuse, Duquense over Manhat
tan, Dartmouth over Harvard in a
tough one, Oklahoma over Iowa
State, Minnesota over Iowa, North
western over Indiana, and Wash
ington over California.
Here’s one to watch: Texas Ag
gies over Baylor. The ratings in
dicate an easy victory for the Ag
gies with 98.4 to 87.2 for the Bay
lor Bears. However, this game be
ing played at Waco well could be
the biggest upset of the week.
Most difficult game to compute
was Temple with a rating of 92.6
over Penn State with a rating of
88.1. If it hadn’t been for Temple
upsetting Michigan State last week
21-19 the System would have taken
Penn State without hesitation.
Really tough ones to pick a-
mong the big name teams are:
Georgia Tech over Auburn, where
Tech will be lucky to repeat last
year’s 7 to 6 victory; Kansas State
over Kansas in a real knuckle and
skull affair; Texas Tech over Mar
quette, close even if it is played at
Milwaukee; and Michigan State
over Santa Clara, with Michigan
State bouncing back from the Tem
ple defeat. Tulane is the System’s
choice to best North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Try that one on your
fiddle!

Consolidated High
Defends Undefeated
Record Against Snook
Friday night the A. & M. Con
solidated High School Tigers meet
Snook High for their second dis
trict game.
Last year, Snook beat the Ti
gers 14-0 and the spirit of the
team is that they are not going to
do it again. While the Consolidated
high has no stars this year, they
are a good little team. Their line is
exceptionally heavy but the back-
field is a bit small. The line av
erages about 165 pounds while
the backfield has an everage weight
of 145 pounds.
While this game will be no push
over, the Tigers might have to dig
into their bag of tricks for a win
over the Snook Blue Jays. In pre
vious games, the Tigers have not
had to show their full power, and
according to Head Mentor M. E.
Park, the Tigers still have lots of
plays available to baffle their op
ponents with.
Last week, the Tigers defeated
Normangee 45-6 and this win has
put the team in fine spirits. There
are no injuries on the squad so
far, and unless injuries occur in
scrimmage, the team will be at its
full strength.
The citizens of College Station
are backing the team to the full
est extent, recently subscribed and
outfitted the whole team in mack
inaws, which are grey in color. This
was a boon to the team for as a
whole they were inadequately
equipped in the uniform depart
ment. The Tigers will be sport
ing maroon and white on the field,
taking their colors from the well
known Texas Aggies.

B Signal Corps came back fast
in the second half of their basket
