“Haw, the Hogs are here again,”
and so it goes, Fred Thomsen
brings the Arkansas Razorbacks
from fiar up in the Ozark mountains
to try their hand at the Texas Ag
gies.
Today they’ll be playing the
greatest game of their year and
the Aggies will be faced with the
weekly occasion of playing a fight
ing team with little to gain except
for a great moral victory and
nothing to lose but the game.
If the Razorbacks turn the Ag
gies back today, the one game
alone will give them a feeling of
success for the season.
In the stands the twelfth man
under the direction of Buster and
Foots will change their ways a bit
and try to please all concerned.

Boxing Club
Elects Officers
At First Meeting
In the first meeting of the A.
& M. Boxing Club this week Mason
Jonas was elected president for
the present year.
Rex Blankenship was elected
vice-president; Bill Taylor, treas
urer; Gus Link, secretary; and
Gordon Kerr and G. N. Bogel
were placed in charge of public
ity.
Official recognition of boxing
as a minor sport at A. & M. was
discussed and those men interest
ed in the sport are anxious to re
ceive such notice.
In the past boxing has taken a
back seat in the sports field at
A. & M. biit plans started last year
to bring it to the front are to be
continued.

ing drawing department is the

the limb from flailing all the way
off in the Southwest league pre
dictions. Today might tell the same
story, for here they are.
The Aggies over Arkansas 21
to 7.
Rice 19 to 7 over Texas A. & I.
T. C. U. to win from Baylor 14
to 7.
Texas to send S. M. U. back to
Big “D” with a 14 to 13 defeat.
The last two may sound a bit
out of line but the Mustangs have
yet to show 'a great ball club and
the Texas Longhorns hit a surprise
package last Saturday. T. C. U.
played a hard game and a mean
bunch of boys, the same the Aggies
met, in Tulsa and the Bears were
high on spirits.
Others here and there are Okla
homa A. & M. over Creighton,
Stanford over U. C. L. A. to give
the Bruins their sixth loss, Notre
Dame over Army by a big margin
to remain one of the top of the
nation, Tulsa over Detroit, Ohio
State over Indiana, Cornell over
Columbia, and Minnesota over
Northwestern.
Tonight, win, loose, or draw, the
talk will be of S. M. U. and the
coming corps trip.
If the Mustangs win today, it
will be the spark to reset them on
their way to the top. If they lose,
they will take to their own small
field seeking a win to prove they
are not out for good.

The training period for Class B
Cross Country will start on Mon
day, November 11. This will al
low two weeks for training before
the run which is
scheduled for Sat
urday, November
23rd. Each man
must train at
least five times to
be eligible for the
run. The training
period will be
from 4:00 P.M.
until 5:30 P. M.
Monday through
Friday of each week.
Rifle Shooting for Class A will
be started in the very near fu
ture, so it’s time to be getting
those seven men lined up.
B Field Artillery played fast,
hard basketball to down G Field
Artillery 10-8 in their fracas this
week. Shea and Holmes led the win
ners with the small sum of three
points each. The score doesn’t
show the closeness of the game
as well as do the fouls. Most of the
points scored were made on free
throws.
B Engineers burned their bridges
behind them and stopped A Cav
alry 3-0 in a handball game. Suth-
erland-Flowers, Houser-Stearman,
and Noblitt-Law were the firebug
combinations for E Company.
One for the books came about on
the basketball court when 4th Corps
Headquarters and F Infantry met.
After a hard fought game, both
scores added up to the same fig
ure and it was necessary to play
an over-time period. It seems that
both teams were still equally de
termined to win and two more
“sudden death” additions were
marked up before the “foreign
legion” took the game 12-9. Boyd
of the losing side was high point
man with a total of seven.
Another overtime game of bas
ketball was played between A Coast
Artillery and B Cavalry when
time ended with both teams win
ning team 10-10. Fast teamwork
and accurate shooting on the part
of Hardin put the game on ice for
A Battery.

We hear that there are some
pretty good intramural men over
in 2 C. Hq. Wonder why they don’t
come down for a game or two?
Handball saw H Field Artillery
downed by A Signal Corps 2-1.
Oliver-Castleberry, Benish-Storm
were winners for the victors while
Cokinos and White managed to
gather in a match for H Battery.
C Engineers took their hand
ball game from F Infantry when
Gray-Anglin and Callinger-Volts
won two matches. Pelatre and
Whalen accounted for F Company’s
match to end the game 2-1. ,
Warnke paced A Chemical War
fare to a 13-11 victory over E Eng
ineers by racking up 8 points in
a fast clean fought game of bas
ketball. The score was 4-5 at the
half and saw both teams make a
gallant try for a win in the second
period.
“Fish” from the Infantry Band
took a game of touch football
from A Cavalry 6-0 to win their
league.

A & M To Try To
Maintain Winning:
Streak of 16 Games
The Texas Aggie polo team will
cross mallets with New Mexico
Military Institute on Jackson Field
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in
a game that is expected to be one
of A. & M.’s most exciting clashes
this fall.
New Mexico, long considered a
power in intercollegiate polo, will
send a hard-riding crew against
A. & M., but the maroon and white
are slight favorites to chalk up a
victory.
The same lineup that routed
Lampasas earlier in the season is
slated to start for the Texas cad-
e t s with Norris McGowen of
Shreveport at number one, the ev
er-hustling Carl Maloney of Gol
iad at number two, Bill Braid of
San Antonio at number three, and
Captain Sid McDonald holding
down number four position. Dwight
Barry and Lee Rice may see action
during the contest.
T. A. Williams, letterman from
San Antonio, is out with a broken
bone in his foot, but he should be
ready to go before the end of the
season.
New Mexico will probably be
sparked by the veteran Florida
back, King, and that stellar for
ward from Hawaii, Von Temsky.
One of those things happened
on the football field when G Coast
Artillery and B Infantry fresh
men met. It seems that one of the
wide-awake players on the Coast
team intercepted a pass and was
well on his way to pay dirt when
a referee’s whistle was blown on
the adjoining field. It was at this
point that the player stopped run
ning, threw the ball down land
started wondering what it was all
about when the rest of the players
caught up and started a mad scram
ble for the ball. Fortunately the
break didn’t lose the game for
them because they came out on top
6-0.
Win Sat. With TCU
The Baylor Bears, turned back
in their two conference tilts this
year, hope to make the grade to
day when they invade Ft. Worth
for their annual tussle with the
T. C. U. Horned Frogs.
Coach Morley Jennings’ gridders
gave a good account of themselves
against the easy-going Texas Ag
gies last weekend before they went
down battling to a 14 to 7 count,
but they just didn’t have the scor
ing plays to go with the brilliant
defensive work turned in by That
Good Old Baylor Line.
The Baylor eleven is still rely
ing on sophomores Jack Russell,
George Koch, Milton Crain, W. B.
Godbold and Lewis Self to take
care of some key positions in the
starting lineup and it looks like
they are just now hitting their
stride. From now on out, the Bears
will be picking up steam as they
roll along and should give the rest
of the ball clubs in the loop a run
for their money.
Baylor coaches disregarded the
Horned Frogs’ loss to Tulsa last
Saturday and told the Bruin grid
ders that they were expecting the
T. C. U. eleven to be stronger than
ever, and the Baptist footballers
would have to play the same type
of ball they turned in against the
Aggies if they finish on the long
end of the score.
T. C. U. has won the last four
games that the two teams have
played in Ft. Worth and the Bears
will be out to put an end to the
home lot jinx and chalk up their
first league win in three starts.

list is All-American John Kim
brough, the Haskell Hurricane. He
is assisted in the work of keeping
A. & M. on top by a blocking back
that is worthy of any praise, Jim
Thomason. Lines that hold are
hard to find but the six giants
that tumble defense for Aggie
ground gainers are men that every
coach in the nation would gladly
have around.
Guard positions are well taken
care of on the Aggie juggernaut
by Marshall Robnett and Charley
Henke. When it is possible to make
a tackle, these two are usually in
on the play.
Jim Sterling, left end for A. &
M., carries more punch and foot
ball talent than any other end in
the conference. He has consistent
ly played high caliber ball since
he pulled on a maroon and white
uniform. Sterling’s mate on the
other side of the forward wall is
“Boots” Simmons, a fast improv
ing offensive player.
Around 12,000 spectators are to
file into Kyle Field, and Lutcher
Stark’s Royal Bengal Guards of
Orange, Texas will present a half
time exhibition of precision drilling
and fascinating uniforms. The Ben
gal Guard is unequaled for it’s
brilliance and military appear
ance by other high school organ
izations of this section.
Fred Thomsen, Hog mentor, has
built himself a reputation as coach
of the “passingest team in the na
tion” and he is bringing a large
bag of tricks to use on Aggie de
fenses that have weathered storms
of goal-line rushes. His success is
depending on aerial offense and
Arkansas is likely to toss the pig-*
skin far and wide in an effort to
bring the mighty Texas Aggies
down from the ranks of the un
defeated.
