They also sang “God Bless Amer

Good team-work and ball getting

Handballers Derrick, Faulk,
Drumwright, and Covington gath
ered in two matches to cinch a
game for B Engineers when they
played G Field Artillery Friday.
Wagner and Hancock took the
third match and limited the score
to 2-1.
Another 2-1 game ended in favor
of B Coast Artillery when Gillette,
King, Gillis, and Azier won two
matches from L Infantry. The other
match was taken care of by the
fast playing combination of Mills,
Rideout, Kerby, and Beard.
Dougherty-Hill and Cokinos-
White had tough going to down
the boys from A Chemical Warfare
2-1 for H Field Artillery and found
Overbeck and Swain a- little too
ready when they won a match for
the “test-tubers”.

mark the score board 7 to 0.
The second quarter was a “see
saw” affair, with the ball trav
eling through the air time and
again, with Kimbrough intercept
ing one on the Aggies’ 7 and carry
ing it to the Arkansas 49.
The half ended with the score
7-0.
Conatser, led by great block
ers, set the stage for the next
points early in the third period as
he raced from his 45 to the Ar
kansas 19 on a punt run back.
The Aggies took to the air and
then returned to the ground where
they were stopped hard by Sim-
ington and Bynum of the Razor-
backs.
Jake Webster entered the game
to try for a field goal with the ball
on the 17 yard line and close to
the side line on the west side of
the field, Webster booted the ball
right through the posts to change
the score 10-0.
Here the haze took its leave and
many a soul rested a bit easier.
Back came the Aggies, striking
quick as Kimbrough intercepted
•another aerial and Jeffrey sailed
an end zone pass to Sterling. Rob-
nett kicked the extra point, and
the Aggies held the 17 to 0 lead
the remainder of the game.
In the final quarter Hamberg
connected with Haynes, Pitts and
Frieberger to threaten for the
Hogs.
On the six yard line the Aggie
line buckled down and held for
four tries.
From then on time passed fast
as Norton sent a unit of substi
tutes into the game for the clos
ing minutes.
The Razorbacks made 16 first
downs to seven for A. & M. They
picked up seven rushing, six on
passes, and three on penalties, to
four on rushing and three on pen
alties for the Aggies.
A. & M. gained 90 yards rushing
to the Razorback’s 76 and passed
for 95 while the Hogs took to the
air for 151.
On Kyle Field
(Continued from Page 3)
took to the huddle and then to the
line but with the snap of the ball,
an outroar of the same chatter so
well known wherever the twelfth
man goes came across the field.
For many years we’ve been criti
cized for the unsportsman like act
and now the change has been made.
What we’re wondering now is what
fault the “unknown they” will find
with the Aggie corps or their
team next?
Saturday a week ago the South
west Conference played a double
crossing hand, but this week we
came through with three of four
correct callings although the scores
were off on a few. We called all
seven of the here and there games
correct, so as Williamson says,
this ought to bring the average up
a good bit.
Arkansas failed to score on the
Aggies but they did just about
everything else while the cadets
played a great defensive game.
Little Texas A. & I. came near
taking up the Sam Houston Bear
cat roll and held the Rice Owls to
a 6-6 tie until the last seconds. A
field goal by Bob Brumbley gave it
still going strong and took a tennis
game from the hard driving Fifth
Corps Headquarters team 2-1.
Beard and Pump won their match
while Mills and Patterson took one
the easy way. On the loser’s side
we find Ezzel and Cooper taking
the winning match.
“Fish” Newberry saved the day
for C Infantry by sinking one just
as the whistle blew to end their
basketball game with E Coast Ar
tillery. The basket broke a 3-3 tie
and left the game ending 5-4 in
favor of the Infantry.
