Ruffled Owls With Their Feathery Tricks
To Try To Sound Taps Here On Kyle Field
This afternoon seventeen seniors
will play their last game of foot
ball on our own Kyle Field. These
seventeen seniors have seen Aggie
football in all classes—in all rat
ings. At times it seemed that they
could do nothing but lose, at other
times they could do nothing but
run into bad luck, and now the pay
off is drawing near.
; Three years ago, when the pres
ent seniors were fish, two teams
met in Houston to fight for sixty
long minutes. With the final gun,
the Aggies had tied the Southwest
Champions of that year and had
found a friend (?) in a certain Mr.
Watson. That year has never been

'orgotten. “Rats Watson” was the
war cry of the next year’s battle.
That game was on Kyle Field and
the feathered flock went down, 27
to 0. Down they went again last
year on their own field as the Ag
gies rolled to the top of the nation.
But all of that lies in the past.
Today an altogether new Rice elev
en will hit the Aggies. Jess Neeley
has fired the Owls to such an ex
tent that they are determined to
win this game just as they have
their other league contests. On top
of that they are capable of doing
just that.
In the Rice line Tuffy Whitlow
at the center post, Moose Hartman
at tackle and Livy Bassett at guard
will be the three leading the re
mainder into the heat of the bone
crushing duel. These Owls are can
didates for their respective posi
tions on the mythical teams of the
southwest and their play against
the Aggies will weigh heavily. At
the same time, on the other side of
the line will also be candidates for
the same spots.
All of this will be secondary as
the game gets under way and the
two great machines clash for the
conference lead.

game and undoubtedly will be in
fluenced greatly in the selection of
their mythical teams by the show
ings of candidates in this contest.
Records of the two teams in the
past show the Aggies with sixteen
wins to the Owls’ six and two ties.
To date some 30,000 tickets have
been sold and more are expected
to be sold when Houston moves in
from the South and Aggie sup
porters come in from all points of
the compass to witness the game
that may decide the outcome of the
Southwest Conference for this sea
son.
A win by the Aggies will put
them in position for a cinch tie for
the flag and thereby break the age
old jinx that Conference champions
never repeat in the Southwest. In
the event that Rice takes the game,
they will be well on their way for
a championship.
The Owls have their feathers ruf
fled and their bag full of feathery
tricks. They’re out to win, Army!
If you haven’t got the feeling yet,
try in the few remaining hours to
get what you can- It’s LIZZIE
again, not Taps for the first time
in two years on our own Kyle
Field.
Last Wednesday Coach Homer
Norton was displeased with the at
titude of the twelfth man, feeling
that the high flying sails would
have its effect on the team. This
afternoon a determined squad will
wear the colors of Aggieland. It
will be just as determined as that
which turned back the Mustangs
last Saturday, the Razorbacks the
week before, and the Bears the
week before that.
Chip Routt will captain the Ag
gies along with Marion Pugh and
Marland Jeffrey.
Arkansas fell to the hard fight
ing Owls 14 to 7 last week while
still down in the dumps due to the
heavy Aggie beating.
In the last game on Kyle Field
for the long to be remembered
squad, the Aggies will win by three
touchdowns. We call it 20 to 0.
Southern Methodist tackles the
Razorbacks in Dallas for the sec
ond feature of the Southwest. Two
teams with great passing attacks
and hard fighting lines, two teams
which fell last Saturday will do
battle. T. C. U., Baylor and Ark
ansas all dropped their next game
following the struggle with the ca
dets, but here’s the end of such
repetition.
It is the final conference go for
the Porkers.
S. M. U., 21 to 13, over the Hogs.
There could be an upset here.
Coach Dutch Meyer’s Hornfrogs
will try to defend their home slate
against the Texas Longhorns today-
They bowed to a 3 to 0 defeat at
the hands of Detroit in their last,
duel while the Texas crew turned
back the Baylor Bears.
The close of the day should see
the home slate still clean, calling
it 13 to 7.
Tulsa University, the team which
at the close of the season will have
faced four squads from the south
west league, face the Bears in
Waco today for their last fray be
fore taking on the Sooner Aggies
in the Missouri Valley title battle.
The Bears will give forth with an
other hard try while both starting
tackles are on the side line and also
Bob Nelson, their candidate for the
Mythical center spot.
Down go the Bears again. This
one is 10 to 7.
Around the country in the ban
ner games Cornell should top Dart

Iowa to store, Minnesota continues

Both Play Games On

Dates One Week Apart
Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the

there WILL be a football game at
Texas Memorial Stadium Nov. 21.
Not the traditional Thanksgiving
tilt between the Longhorns and Ag
gies, of course, for that is being
held over until Nov. 28. Schedule
commitments made it impracticable
to play the varsity game earlier.
Instead the freshman teams of
the two big state schools will clash
in the Thanksgiving game.

Yearlings of Texas are admittedly
strong as a unit. They licked Al

Several men of the opposing team

tackled. Came the dawn when the

Polo Club From
Mexico City Here
ToEncounterA&M
The Mexico City Polo Club comes
to Jackson field Sunday in an in
ternational tilt with Texas A. &
M.’s poloists and the game is cer
tain to be the outstanding encoun
ter for the Aggies this year. Mex
ico City ranks among the leaders
of the sport and A. & M. has a re
vamped lineup that should give the
aggregation from “South of the
Border” all of the fast-moving
polo they are capable of handling.
Carrying an 11 goal rating, Mex
ico City displays rare talents and
ability that is headed by T. F. E.
Honey, number one and three goal
player. Rincon-Gallardo, four goal
man, works from the number two
position, and J. Redo, number
three, has one goal to his credit.
C. M. Zorilla plays from the fourth
position and has been marked up
with three goals. A team with a
total of 11 goals in rating is load
ed and hustling and Mexico City
will give A. & M. eight chuckers
of heads-up competition.
For the Aggies, McGowen of
Shreveport, Maloney of Goliad,
Braid of San Antonio, Barry of
Vernon, and Hart of Groober have
been showing excellent polo and
three of them are slated to get the
starting nod along with Captain
Sid McDonald of Bandera. The
The papers in the last few days
have been filled with “eggspert”

Leo Daniels Carries Offensive
Threat For Fish With Speed, Power
By Jack Hollimon
Texas A- & M. and Rice Institute
met on Kyle Field Friday afternoon
on the Aggie Fish stomped the
Rice Slimes to the tune of 26-7.
Leo Daniels of Bryan and his
teammates gave the fans an exhi
bition of speed, deceptiveness, and
outright power in Aggie Varsity
style to completely swamp a listless
Rice crew.
Whitworth and Cox stood out
on defense for A. & M. while the
offense was scattered between sev
eral promising boys. Daniels set the
Aggies out in front by a 47 yard
goalward spurt in the first quarter
to put A. & M. out in front six to
O. Willard Woolverton of El Paso
converted in true Aggie fashion.
Daniels cut through the Slime line
and carried across with good block-
H ^ing from Lincoln Roman of Hous
ton.
Rice came back in a hurry when
the Owl’s Electra Flash, Gayle Mc
Laughlin, catupulted through the
center of A. & M.’s forward wall
and roared downfield until he lat-
eralled to Snelly who took the
pigskin across. This run was good
for 47 yards and a touchdown. Rice
converted successfully and the
count stood at 7 to 7.
Aggie passes began to click and
A. & M. drove past the Slimes af
ter the start of the second period-
Getting into position through the
air, Dennis Andricks of Brenham
crashed 37 yards through Rice de
fense to make the score 13 to 7.
Woolverton’s try for extra point
was no-good.
