Traditional Tears Begin To Flow From
“Big D” Even Though Both Teams Balance
;
PASQUA
Tackle
Up in Dallas the last few days.
Armstrong field at Ownby Stad
ium has been heavily covered with
canvas to ward
off another “hog
waller” game as
of last year.
With the same
precaution the
“eggsperts” a-
round “Big P”
started on their
moaning songs.
The Aggies have
been under cover
the entire season
they say, and it will be just a
streak of luck if we win.
S.M.U. showed a great ball club
in tromping over the Longhorns
last Saturday and they’re set for
the cadets.
On paper the Mustangs have
gained 599 yards by rushing and
592 yards passing to their oppon
ents 422 and 472, while the Aggies
have recorded 864 on the ground
and 741 in the air. Their opponents
have made 173 running and 631
on aerials.
Paper appearances won’t win the
game and this has been shown
many times this year, the Ar
kansas game being the best ex
ample.
Hitting the line and running the
ends, the Ponies will be lead by
Presto Johnson who to date has an
average of 4.20 yards per try.
Marion Pugh leads the con
ference and the Aggies with 4.38
yards per try. “Dookie” is also
at the top of the leading passers.
He has thrown 65 aerials, completed
36 and had only three intercepted.
This is a percentage of .554 and
accounts for 487 yards.
Ray Mallouf and Johnnie Clem
ent lead the Mustangs in tossing
the ball through the air. Each
have accounted for some 300
yards.
The two teams are equally bal
anced with punters. Conatser has
an average of 35.7 yards while
Johnson has one of 35.6.
This all goes to balance the
two teams. But two years ago,
the squads were equal and both
were determined. Late in the last
quarter came the boy. “Just a kid
named Joe”—Joe Pasqua to send
the ball through the uprights for
the three winning points.
Could it be
that this year
the ball game
will hang on the
toe of those who
try for place
ments. For the
Aggies, Dog
Dawson, Dookie
Pugh with his
nine point run,
Marshall R o b -
nett, and Jake
Webster will be
on hand. Presto Johnson and Pas
qua will share the call for the
Methodists.
Cross-Country
Meet To Be Held
At Dallas Friday
Cadets arriving in Dallas Friday
before 4 p.m. will have an oppor
tunity to witness a cross country
run between the S.M.U. Mustangs
and the Texas Aggies. This con
test promises to be just as thrill
ing and exciting as the football
game between the two clubs the
following day.
Although the Aggies lost their
initial game to Abilene Christian
23-32 last Thursday Coach Frank
Anderson still has plenty of con
fidence in his tracksters. He re
gards the Christian’s team as one of
the best in' the Southwest and be
lieves his boys gave them a good
run for their money.
Members of the team making the
trip to Dallas include the follow
ing: Laney and Wilmeth, co-cap
tains, Mayer, Clarke, Owens, and
McLamore.
All of. the men mentioned above
have proved that they can run with
the best of the crop and will be all
ready to go next Friday.

he was saying, so for the rest of
the world, here is what passed be
tween them.
“Mr. Higgins, you once told me
I played a pretty good game of
football, and another time you said
I was a credit to the sport, and
some other times you have said
other nice things about me—maybe
they were true or maybe they were
not, but I rather feel that you are
a friend I could call upon if I ever
needed help,” Kimbrough is report
ed saying.
“Certainly, John,” Higgins re
plied. “What can I do for you. Just
ask it and if it is in my power I’ll
do it”.
“Well, then”, Jarrin’ Jawn ans
wered. “You don’t seem to be too
busy, so suppose you block out
that big end for me on this next
play for I want to go around that
direction.”
Jimmie didn’t help John out, but
just the same John did go in that
direction for a nice gain.

NMMI Defeats
Aggie Poloists On
Jackson Field Sunday
New Mexico Military Institute
handed Texas Aggie Poloists their
first defeat of the season on Jack-
son Field when they dropped A. &
M. to the tune of 11 to 5. New Mex
ico had the best team to appear
at Aggieland in several seasons
and their expert handling of the
ball left little to be desired.
“Ski” Van Tensky, number four
for N.M.M.I., was shaken up in a
spill and was knocked uncons
cious by the ball later in the game
but he remounted and accounted
for two of his team’s goals.
Porter King of New Mexico was
high scorer of the tilt with three
goals, while Monk Jewell, Garrick
Harris, Stokes, and Van Tensky
each got credit for two markers.
For A. & M. Bill Braid lifted
two over and Norris McGowan,
Walter Hart, and Carl Maloney
scored singles. Maloney rode in
the number two postion with all
the skill of a veteran.

“When The
Daltons Rode”
with
Randolph Scott
By Bob Myers
It seems that two organizations
out of the 57 on our campus
thought that their ineligible play
ers were so much better than the
eligible ones that it warranted a
very long shot to play them in in
tramural competition.
It is not the policy of the intra
mural department to look for such
discrepencies as
these, but neither
is it their in
look them. Play-
tention to over-
ing an ineligible
man is bad
enough, but to
play him under an
assumed name is
a deliberate at
tempt to defraud
the opposing
by “fair means or
>■ •
team and win
foul”.
Not only did the two organ
izations who committed this breach
of ethics have a forfeit marked
up against their record, but none
of the players on their teams re
ceived credit for a participation.
We hate to think that there
are men on our campus who are
so small as to pull a stunt like
this even though we do have the
customary two per cent. By a pro
cess of simple mathematics it
seems that our lowly two has grown
to approximately four per cent.
Since this is the first, and we
hope the last, offense of its kind
that has been called to our attent
ion this year, the offenders’ names
and organizations are being with-
held-
-in the future, let the
guilty beware!

A & M Picked
To Defeat SMU
In Close Battle
By Paul B. Williamson
Championships will be decided
this week-end in some of the nat
ional football circuits.
The three most important games
will be Michigan vs. Minnesota,
Texas Aggies vs. Southern Metho
dist, and Stanford vs. Washington.
Picking the winner in just one of
those games would be chore enough
for a week. But, they’re all play
ing.
So, the Williamson System picks
Michigan to take Minnesota and
thereby clinch the Big Ten title.
Both are undefeated and untied, and
are rated mighty close together.
Michigan at 97.6 and Minnesota
at 97.0.
And, we’ll take Texas Aggies
over the Mustangs of S.M.U. The
Aggies have come up to this big
test undefeated and untied—adding
to the laurels gained as the Wil
liamson national champions of 1939.
The Mustangs are undefeated, and
tied only by Pittsburg. This is the
crucial game for the Southwestern
conference title. If the Aggies are
going to fall this season, here’s
where they’d better watch care
fully.
The undefeated and untied In
dians of Stanford are the William
son favorite to defeat the Washing
ton Huskies, beaten only by Min
nesota’s powerful Gophers this
season. It’ll be a mighty close game.
Some other big games that will
be close are: Columbia over Wis
consin; Fordham over Purdue;
Michigan State over Indiana, prob
ably against most forecasts;

A&M Enters Game With
SMU Behind 17 Victories
The unbeaten Texas Aggies who’
have lashed 17 straight victims
with power and passing, storm up
to the cross roads next Saturday
with a possible conference crown
at stake. Standing undefeated and
waiting with a knockout punch is
Southern Methodist. This is to be
the battle of the Southwest, and
along with the Michigan-Minnesota
duel, rates as the Nation’s number
one grid attraction.
A year ago, on a rain-swept
Kyle Field, the Aggies battered
out a 6 to 2 triumph over the
Mustangs. There are many who
believe that S.M.U. could have won
that game with a little luck.
Next Saturday, it will be Jarrin’
John Kimbrough, the Aggies’
great All American fullback, and
his gang of senior veterans against
the Mustang’s Presto Johnson, a
great runner, and by no means
slack puntor. The S.M.U. tricks
ters are also headed by John Clem
ent, expert passer.
Statistically, the Aggies are
greater. The Aggies have made
few mistakes this season. It is
generally conceded if any one team
of the conference is to upset the
Aggies, S.M.U. will be the team.
The Mustangs, however, haven’t
the seasoning power boasted by
