With Hub Johnson
Saturday another fired team will
take to Kyle Field to stop the Ag
gies.
Last week they rolled over Ole
Miss in the last period, but it will
forever be unknown as to whether
it was their real strength that
made such a win possible or wheth
er it was the determination created
among the players themselves.
Sunday in the Waco Tribune-
Herald Jinx Tucker ran in his
report of the game the following
article:
“They have overcome another
hurdle, and a far higher hurdle
than they anticipated; so down at
College Station Saturday, Arkan
sas will set up another one, and
it will be the first of only four
more to go—four to go for national
glory—four to go for glory such
as has never come to a member of
the Southwest conference—four to
go. . . ”
On he went in one of the most
expressive articles written on the
battle of the two teams, but never
was it mentioned that this is a
Smart Quarter Brogue
for Town or Campus.

Consolidated
Defends Record
Against Crockett
The A. & M. Consolidated Tigers
will attempt to keep their record
intact when they meet the Croc
kett Bulldogs in Crockett, Fri
day night, November 1.
Although this is not a district
game, the fracas will mean much
to the Tigers. In six previous games
the Tigers have piled up 157 points
while their opponents have made
19.
Last Friday’s game was costly
to the Tigers, losing George Todd,
stellar half-back, who went out
in the first half with a fractured
leg. The Tigers have lost three
men from the squad since school
has started, two by injuries and one
by ineligibility.
Beezley will be shifted to Todd’s
place in the backfield while Jim
my Cashion who throws smashing
blocks like Jim Thomason, will
be at his prime during the game
with the Bulldogs. Beezley and See-
man will act as co-captains for
the tussle.
Head Mentor Mance Park re
ports that the Tigers will most
likely play a running game.
The Crockett Bulldogs have a
larger team than the Tigers, but
they are slow on defense. Their of
fense is exceptionally good, due to
a senior backfield.
The Tigers are a class B team
while the gridsters are'a class A
squad. Neverthless, the Tigers are
expected to make a fine show
ing.
race when the runner isn’t al
lowed to tip a single hurdle. It is
always taken for granted and then
forgotten.
Monday night at yell practice
someone from far in the rear cor
rected “Foots” as he said we still
had four games to go. “Five,” he
yelled, already setting the Aggies
in a post season tilt.
There is one game Saturday.
That’s all we care now. The team
looks at it this way, and they ex
pect the Razorbacks to be at their
best. Baylor fell to the Arkansas
giants in one they thought would
be their easiest.
The Aggies won’t have an easy
game the rest of the season and

Final Playoffs In Basketball
And Handball Due To Start Soon
By Bob Myers
Basketball and handball occu
pied space on all Class A schedules
Monday and Tuesday to shorten
the distance between the start
and finish of these two sports.
With touch foot
ball on its way
for the upper-
classmen, it
won’t be long un
til final playoffs
start in basket
ball and handball.
A Engineers
took over from
the Artillery band
in their handball
game and now by a score of 2-1.
Dulling - Muris and Valentine-
Teague scored for the Walton Hall
bunch; Roberts and Cargile were
responsible for the Band match.
The Band intramural teams have
played many close games this seaT

offs.

ing was concerned but everyone
accounted for a few points. End-
score was 22-7.
Langdale and Gillette led H Bat
tery to a 36-6 victory over the
B Cavalry by racking up 15 and
10 points respectively. It was Coast
Artillery all the way.
Although A Field Artillery had
the high point man, they could
n’t click and went down before
C Infantry in basketball by a close
score of 18-15. Rogers and Sim
mons teamed up to score six points
apiece and led their team to a
three point win. Rutherford of the
Field made 11 points for high man.
Class B basketball got wild and
wooley in the midst of excite
ment when C Engineers outpointed
E Infantry 17-13. The game be
longed to either team all the way
and wasn’t decided until the smoke
cleared after the final whistle.
M Infantry three to nothinged
B Signal Corps in a speedy game
of handball. Nayovitz-Edmundson,
Levy-Ballow, and Ballard-Gage
combinations were just a little too
much for the dot-dash boys.
Keist Hall unlounged when B
Chemical Warfare outplayed A
Coast Artillery in handball to the
tune of 2-1. Malone-Farmer, and
Ivy-Davis accounted for the win-
nig matches and Kroemey-Byrd
combined to win a match for the
“buzzard-busters”.
The Coast Artillery took over
on the basketball court and won
their two games on one-sided
scores.
B Coast and H Infantry played a
nip and tuck game up until the half
with the score only 5-4. At this
point B Battery got their fire built
and proceeded to accumulate a mul
titude of points. None of the play
ers were outstanding so far as scor.

ing team wasn’t above their normal
strength.
Arkansas Saturday—forget the
rest!
Opening their season against
Central Oklahoma Teachers, the
Razorbacks surprised no one by
defeating them 38 to 0.
When T. C. U. rolled over them
in their first conference game, it
all looked dark for the Porkers.
Then came the Baylor Bears, and
the Hogs told the gang they were
once again to be considered. They
marked up 11 first downs to the
Bears’ 3, ran up 133 yards to
Baylor’s 36 and passed for 128 as
compared to the Bruin’s 38.
In the Texas game they fell to
the underside of the score but their
defensive game was the part recog
nized by the scribes. And yet they
fell only one behind the Longhorns
in first downs, and nearly matched
them yard for yard on passing
and running. The score went to
Texas, 21 to 0. This was another
game when the Hogs ran the field
close and wide and passed from
one end to the other, only to draw
the wrong side.
Last Saturday the tide turned
and the Arkansas Razorbacks con
nected.
“It can’t happen here,” was the
cry of the Balkan countries. The
same cry has been heard since the
Baylor fray. There is no jinx say
ing Razorbacks don’t win here for
in ’34 they tied the Aggies and in
’36 they topped them 18 to 0.

The Golden Gophers of Min
nesota are the Williamson System’s
choice to topple Lynn Waldorf’s
Northwestern Wildcats in the big
gest gridiron battle so far this
season, and a battle to remember.
Both teams are undefeated and
untied in the Big Ten Conference
or in their intersectional games.
Both Bernie Bierman of Minnesota
and Waldorf are outstanding in
football stategy. Minnesota has an
edge on the Williamson Ratings
with 98.3 against 96.6 for North
western, with the possibility of a
deadlock.
Down in the South, Clemson’s
Tigers take a remarkable record
of 13 straight victories against Tu-
lane at New Orleans. Clemson has
to get by Tulane and Auburn to be
Wave of Tulane has come back
a “bowl” candidate. The Green
strong after a disastrous start,
but the figures say Clemson by a
touchdown or so.
The Mustangs of Southern Meth
odist are the System’s choice to
knock over Texas. This is S.M.U.’s
first Southwest conference game,
and may indicate the wisdom of
this forecaster’s pre-season ap
praisal of the Mustangs as strong
title bidders.
Nebraska, ripe from a triumph
over Missouri, meets another
“blood foe” in the Oklahoma Soon-
ers at Norman, Oklahoma; and
should win.

“Passingest Team”
Tackles A&M Saturday
Game Promises Razzle-Dazzle
Plays With Surprises Expected
By Jack Hollimon
The passingest football club in
the nation, capable of springing
a razzle-dazzle surprise at any
time, will oppose A. & M. on Kyle
Field Saturday flying the col
ors of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
They are an aggregation of rough
and tough mountain boys and just
to prove they are loaded, they
have knocked off two undefeated
teams this year. Those two clubs
were Baylor, the team that gave
the Aggies so much trouble last
Saturday, and Mississippi who was
blasted from the magic circle by
a close 21-20 score.
Harold Schmidt is a slick ball
runner with a spinning backfield
that has a real ability to carry
the mail, and every time he touches
the hide it might mean a spec
ial delivery job. He is Arkansas’
leading ground gainer, and coupled
with Little Harold Hamburg, the
top passer, they are able to do lots
of ball handling.
If height can turn the trick, then
1940 is Arkansas’ year because
they not only have John Freiberg-
er, who is 6 feet 8 inches tall and
the tallest player in the Southwest
football, but every other end is
at least 6 feet 2 inches. These ends
are good for plenty of hokem. Any
time the right end O’Neil Adams
comes around for an obvious end-
around play and then fades back
and tosses the hide to left end Mau
rice Britt, the other team is in for
a confusing afternoon. This hap
pened in the Mississippi upset.
Arkansas has passed over 1000
times from 1936 through 1939 and
their best year come in 1937 when
they made 140 completions out
of 308 tries. That year saw them
gain 2003 yards the aerial way.
When the closing minutes of their
skinned by 7 to 6 last year; Penn
over Navy, and it ain’t no breeze;
Georgetown over Syracuse in a
test that will show whether
Georgetown is really big-time;
Tennessee over L.S.U., although
the Bayou Tigers say they’re not
scared.
Some more of the big games to
watch are: Oregon State over Cal
ifornia, and the California Bears
always are dangerous; Carnegie
Tech over Cincinnati; Colorado to
get by Utah in its championship
drive; Oklahoma A. & M. over
Creighton in a close one; Tulsa
over Detroit, in a very close one;
Duquesne over Marquette, both
with the same rating of 86.6; Ford-
ham over North Carolina, unless
“Sweet Jim” Lalanne and All-
American end Paul Severin run
wild; Auburn over Georgia, in the
oldest series in the South.
It’s Iowa over Purdue, perhaps,
and Alabama over Kentucky by a
nose. Wake Forest gets the nod
to down George Washington, and
San Jose State should take Loyola
of Los Angeles in a mighty close
game. We favor St. Louis over
Wichita, but keep your fingers
crossed.
tilts are pressing them, footballs
fill the sky in an attempt to even
things for the Porkers. They have
lost several games in the last
60 seconds of play.
High in scoring along with the
other conference stars is Aubrey
Neal who has rolled up 18 points
in five games. Neal, behind pow
erful blocking, has galloped across
to the six-point ground three
times with ease.
Thousands of fans will witness
this contest on the hallowed ground
of Kyle Field next Saturday, and
when they leave the game, only
a few will be ready for any more
pigskin frivolities. That’s the kind
of football that is invading Aggie-
land from the Ozarkland.
