3:30 & 6:45 each day
lar quotations floated through bull
sessions, newspaper offices, radio
broadcasting studios, and the
grandstands as football made its
appearance in September.
Saturday, a great Arkansas
team turned back the Old Miss on
its roll to the top with a last per
iod scoring spree.
Twice the Hogs have gone down
before Southwest schools and once
they left the field on the top side.
The win was credited over the Bay
lor Bears, the team which has
played the greatest ball against the
Aggies this year.
Saturday the Razorbacks again
climbed back on that road which
they traditionally travel—“The
passingist team of the nation.”
With a close score of 21 to 20,
Arkansas gave word to the Aggies
that they would not be just an
other hurdle in the last stretch.
Last year the Aggies traveled
into the Ozark State and though
the ugliest girls we ever saw, were
the prettiest girls in Arkansas, the
Hogs outplayed the cadets all four
quarters, home we came with the
bacon and thankful that it had not
been another of the years when
the aggies did not win in Arkan
sas.
The year before, here at home—
On Kyle Field—the Aggies fought
long and hard to win the contest.
This year might be the changing
of the tide and thus the changing
of the route. This game might be
the cross road of the season. Old
Miss rated high on the list of great
teams of the nation, but the Ark
ansas Razorbacks just couldn’t be
depended upon to go down.
INVESTIGATION OF SMU
TICKET SALES DEMANDED
“True to each other as Aggies
can be. . .”
Yesterday at 8 a. m., 600 tickets
to be sold to Aggies for their dates
to the Southern Methodist game
in Dallas next week-end went on
sale.
At 8:30 the last one had been
sold to the cadet who was fifty-
fifth in the line. We can realize
that some were freshmen prob
ably buying for numerous upper
classmen but of the others, we
can’t say.
The largest number sold at any
one time was 44. Forty-four tick
ets to one student. If all tickets
were to be used as means of ad
mittance the slate would be clear,
but already they have made their
appearance on the campus at high
er prices.
All holders of coupon books are
advised to secure their tickets as
soon as possible.
In answer to the Texas game, it
can only be said that all tickets
are sold and no others will be re-
cived here except for holders of
coupon books.
We took a spill on the calling of
Saturday’s games. T.C.U. went
down to Tulsa after the Sooner
team scored early in the opening
quarter and held out to please the
alumni, Arkansas topped Missis
sippi one point to drop one of the
greatest teams of the country, and
Rice Institute set Bible’s first
threat down 13 to 0.
Friday night in Houston the
Rice students were up and the
Texas students were low in their
feeling. The next day the Owls
were up and the Longhorns were
as their boosters, still down. It was
a great game of football for the
Bayou boys and they now rate high
in the eyes of the Southwest cal
lers.
Those we actually called right
were, Tulane over North Carolina,
Tennessee over Florida, Notre
Dame over Illinois, and Texas Tech

Razorbacks Fresh
From 21-20 Victory
Over Touted Old Miss
With a high flying banner, the
Arkansas Razorbacks come here
this Saturday to face the Texas Ag
gies in their fourth conference
duel of the year.
Last Saturday the experts set
back in the dark corners at the
final gun of the Mississippi-Ark-
ansas game. The Razorbacks had
come from far behind to top the
high ranking squad with a 21 to
20 score.
Arkansas scored early in the
fray, but held the lead for only
the first quarter. In the second
Ole Miss crossed twice and marked
up a third in the first two min
utes of the second half. From then
on they held the upper hand and
it looked hopeless for the Hogs.
Neal and Hamberg passed the
Mississippi boys wild on their
touchdown drives and Lawhorn
plunged into the line for the
needed feet and the final score. But
the credit goes to guard Simming-
ton for the three perfect place
ments.
T.C.U. claimed their first win in
League play over the Porkers but
the Hogs came back to run over the
Baylor Bears. Texas made the Ar
kansas squad look sick as they
ran ove'r 21 points to the Razor-
back’s nothing.
But back they came!
Arkansas can still pass even
though sophomores are the foun
dations on which the attack is
based.
The Aggies can pass and they
can play good ball against the
passing attack but there is still the
inspired game to be played.
Last Saturday Arkansas play
ed that type of ball in the final
period! Whether or not they can
keep this feeling at its height re
mains to be seen come this Sat
urday. Any yet they won’t have to
play this kind of ball to win.
As the Bears traveled to Arkan
sas they were missing Wilson in
their first game for keeps and
may have been in low spirits, but
the Hogs hit and they hit hard.
Twenty first downs to the Ag
gies’ nine was the way the’ books
read last year and yet the cadets
won top heavy. The Ozarkers are
high in the praises of the Arkansas
team. Saturday will either raise
the picture. fwlyu
the cry or set the Hogs far out
of the picture.
Baylor Frosh Test
Strength ofTCU
Pollywogs Thursday
The surprising Baylor Freshmen
gridders get another stiff test of
their strength here Thursday
when they run up against the T.C.
U. Polliwogs.
The Cubs handed the Kilgore
Jr. College Rangers their first
setback since 1938 in a stirring
upset last week, but can be rated
no more than even choices against
the T.C.U. eleven which defeated
N. T. A. C. 14-7 in their season's
grid opener.
Coach Jim Crow, who predicts
the game can go either way, has
had the frosh gridders scrimmaging
the varsity in an effort to prepare
them for the expected tough comp
etition. There are only 34 boys
out for the Baylor freshman team
and the Cub Mentor’s chief worry
has been in finding reserve line
men out of the handful of gridders
capable of playing in the forward
wall.
over Marquette. The other called
right was the Aggie win over Bay
lor.
On the red side—outside of the
conference were U.C.L.A.-Oregon
State, as the Bruins went down
for their fifth loss; and Arizona-
Oklahoma A. & M., as the Miss
ouri Valley leaders lost out on the
desert and under the lights.

Intramurals
Corps Trip Causes Postponements;
Forfeit Doghouse Bare For 1st Time
By Bob Myers
Since the Aggies follow trad
ition, most of them left a day early
for the Waco corps trip and left
the intramural department with
few games. A minimum of games
was scheduled originally and this
number was reduced considerably
by postponements
Total games
played amounted
to one handball
in class A and
three touch foot-
b|all, one swim
ming, and one
basketball in class
B.
Highlight of
Friday was the
fact that our new
ly inaugerated “Doghouse” was
bare for the first time.

A & M Maintains
No. 3 Rating In
National Polling
By Paul B. Williamson
Notre Dame stays at the top of
collegiate football for bumping off
Illinois 26 to 0 in a week of “story
book” finishes. Cornell holds to se
cond place for coming behind to
beat Ohio State 21 to 7. Still at
third in the Williamson Ratings is
Texas A. & M. for downing a hard-
fighting Baylor 14 to 7.
As suggested last week, the Ag
gies had to use every trick in their
repertoire and 60 minutes playing
by their All-Americans and near
All-Americans to skin by those
hard-fighting Baylor Bears of
Coach Morley Jennings. Jennings’
squads always are tough, the pro
duct of an old-timer if there ever
was one who has been at his Waco
post far longer than any other
Texas coach.
Although we called the turn on
the Comell-Ohio State game, Tom
Harmon, Forest Evashevski and
Company of the Michigan Wolver
ines were too much for the Penn
State Quakers, who were on the
short end of the 14 to 0 score. We
missed that heart-breaker.
The Williamson System was
practically alone in picking Dart
mouth 7„ Harvard 6; Oregon
State 7, U.C.L.A. 0; Tulane 14,
North Carolina 13, and Louisiana
Normal 7, Centenary 0.
Other good picks in higher cir
cles were Duquesne over Manhat
tan, 10 to 6; San Jone over Santa
Barbara 13-6; Mississippi State
over North Carolina State 26-10;
Carnegie Tech over Case, 14-0;
Colorado over Wyoming, 62-0;
Kansas State over Kansas, 20-0;
Texas Tech over Marquette, 20-13;
Minnesota over Iowa, 34-6; Mon
tana over Gonzaga, 13-10; Neb
raska over Missouri, 20-7; George
town over N.Y.U., 25-0; North
western over Indiana 20-7; Prince
ton over Rutgers, 28-13; Tennes
see over Florida, 14-0; Duke over
Wake Forest, 23-0; Washington
over California 7-6; Navy over
Yale, 21-0.
We anticipated the closeness of
some of the scores and the top
heaviness of others. Some of last
week’s ratings were so close that
the following ties, within a rating
point or so of each other, are vic
tories for the System: Doane6,
Hastings 6; Morris Harvey 7, Da
vis Elkins 7; Georgia 7, Kentucky
7; Michigan State 0, Santa Clara 0;
Texas Mines 0, Tempe Teachers 0;
Washington State 6, Oregon 6;
San Diego State 0, Fresno State 0.
Prize of the week was Rice 13,
Texas 0. Texas went into that
game at Houston undefeated and
untied this season. Rice was in and
out. After mopping up Louisiana
State one week end, the boys from
Rice came back to New Orleans to
get cleaned by Tulane, which had
lost three in a row.
Arkansas surprised everybody
by its 21 to 20, point after touch
down, triumph over powerful Ole
Miss. The Razorbacks scored twice
in the closing minutes and big Mil-
ton Simington’s unerring toe kick
ed the extra point for the victory.
Louisiana State scored early in
the fourth period to upset Van
derbilt 7 to 0.
Tulane rolled out a story-book
finish with less than two minutes
to play to come through for the
System 14 to 13 over North Carol
ina. Tulane’s Tom Glass blocked a
punt, and when A1 Bodney had
started his touchdown run, Glass
took out the only threatening Tar
Heel.

Aggies Defeat Baylor
In Waco At Homecoming
A & M Scores In
Second and Third
Quarters; 14-7 Win
A homecoming crowd that bols
tered attendance to approximately
22,000, saw two great teams meet
beneath an overcast sky Satur
day when the Texas Aggies defeat
ed the Baylor Bears 14-7 at the
Municipal Stadium in Waco.
The score does not show the
game as it really was and can’t
catch the breathless moments when
the Aggies let the ball slide to
the ground for a free for all with
the Bears.
A. & M. has played much better
ball than they displayed in this
game and will have to recapture
their former ability in order to take
care of the coming games that
really count.
Scores for the Cadets came early
in the second quarter after a cease
less first quarter drive. Conatser
carried the mail in a sweep around
Baylor’s right end. Pugh’s accurate
kicking made the conversion.
The second score of the game was
made on a pass to Henderson in
the third quarter. After receiving
the pass, Henderson shook two
Bears and headed for the goal line.
A conversion by Webster ended
the Aggie scoring for the game.
