It Was “The Kid Named Joe” Who Kicked
Half the Bunting Into the Hands of SMU
That guy named Joe did it again!
In 1938 the Aggies would have tied Rice for fourth place and set
themselves a .500 average had they tied the Ponies, but this fellow
named Joe came from the bench and kicked the skin right between the
posts. Saturday, two years after the Dallas killing, he kicked the Mus
tangs into half ownership of the bunting.
Joe Pasqua—the kid named Joe—will long be remembered by the
Aggies.

Cotton Bowl
SMU Waives Claim
After Beating Rice;
Pugh Ready for Game
By Jack Hollimon
Texas A. & M., co-champions of
of the Southwest Conference, move
into Dallas New Year’s day to face
the Fordham Rams in the Cotton
Bowl by accepting the official in
vitation from Dallas. The Aggies
go to North Texas to exhibit their
wares before the eyes of 47,500
Texans who have backed them
through their roaring march over
the nation’s gridirons in a 19 game
winning streak.
Southern Methodist, other part-
title holder, waived any rights to
the post-season game after barely
nosing out Rice Institute in Hous
ton Saturday 7 to 6. This left A.
and M. undisputed claimant of
the honor and the official invi
tation was sent to the Aggies by
Southwest Conference authorities.
This year the game is under the
wing of the Southwest Conference
authorities while in previous years
J. Curtis Sanford, Texas Oil man,
was in charge of promotion.
Fordham, powerhouse of the east
offers A. & M. stiffen competition
than any of A. & M.’s other 1940
opponents and the bowl is expected
to be a sellout at least a week be
fore game time. Ample tickets for
students and former students of
A. & M. have been provided, and
the entire corps is slated to make
the trip. These tickets are due to
go on sale Monday at the Y. M. C.
A.
Players on both teams will be
ready and with the Aggies and
Rams knocking heads at full
strength, Texas football fans are
in line for unforgettable gridiron
history. Marion Pugh, ailing Ag
gie quarterback, has already re
turned to the active list and will
take over his old position of field
general and passer.
Registrar E. J. Howell, in ac
cepting the bid, expressed deep ap
preciation from A. & M. for S. M.
U.’s action concerning the matter'
and announced that the Aggies
would accept the Cotton Bowl in
vitation. This climaxed a week of
speculation as to whether S.M.U.
would make a vote necessary. S.M.
U. was beaten by A. & M. 19 to
7.

TCU Gives Russell Of
Baylor Most Votes On
All-Opponent Team
FORT WORTH—Jack Russell,
Baylor’s big Sophomore end, re
ceived more votes than any other
player when the T. C. U. squad
named their “All-Opponent” eleven
for 1940.
Six of the 10 teams played by
the Horned Frogs this season are
represented in the all-opponent sel
ection. The Texas Aggie lead the
list, with three men named. S.M.U.
North Carolina, and Baylor place
two men each; Rice and Texas one
each.
Here is the Homed Frogs’ idea of
the best eleven that could be put on
the field if the squad were compos
ed of all the players they faced this
season,
season:
Ends: Jack Russell, Baylor; Paul
Severin, North Carolina. Tackles:
Fred Hartman, Rice; Joe Pasqua,

Collegiate Sports Writers Pick
All-America Team; Kimbrough Listed
John Kimbrough was named an
All-American by the National In
tercollegiate Sports Writers Asso
ciation this past week-end on a
squad that was also boosted by
two of Major Bob Neylan’s Ten
nessee Vols, both of whom were
at the guard posts.
Robnett Nosed Out
The closest race was between
Molikski and Robnett for the sec
ond guard position after Suffer-
idge had been renamed. Robnett the
main spark of the Aggie line fell
just behind the Volunteer, who
teamed with Sufferidge to form
ulate one of the hardest running
pair of guards ever seen in the
Southeast.
In the center race Mucha won
easily but there after the next nine
pivot men were hard to name.
Reagan and Christman were the
close runners of the backfield, each
boasting qualifications to be placed
in the fourth slot on the first
team.
Other Aggies Named
Ernie Pannell and Jim Thomason
were named on the sixth team,
with the Aggie tackle being named
captain of the squad.
Those receiving honorable men
tion off the cadet team include
Henderson, Sterling, Routt, and
Hauser-
The poll was made from 80 col
leges and universities in 37 states
and the District of Columbia by
Bob Kunkel, executive secre
tary of the association.

Poloists Hand Oklahoma Academy
Two Defeats on Jackson Field 12-5,13-1
Texas A. & M.’s fastest polo-
team in years rumbled over Okla
homa Military Academy on Jack-
son Field Sunday afternoon to
clinch the final tilt of their two
game series 13 to 1. Friday af
ternoon saw them rush the Clare-
more club off their iron shoes
to chalk up a 12 to 5 victory. The
Aggies used every player to com
pletely baffle this hustling O.M.A.
crew that was outplayed and out
ridden.
Both teams started with a rush
and Oklahoma held A. & M. at bay
during the first period, but super
ior teamwork began to tell and
the Academy boys fell back and
were never able to head the Aggie
cadets. Long hitting and ability
to turn back to the offensive by
Braid and McDonald were not to
be denied and A. & M. led five to
one at half-time.
Bill Stone and Jim Wilson play
ed well throughout the contest for

Oklahoma but they were never able
to compete with those men repre
senting A. & M. The real star of
the game was lanky Carl Maloney
who used timing and valor to count
four goals and become high point
man. Riding rings around O.M.A.,
Maloney swatted the wooden ball
all over Jackson Field to send his
team far ahead into victory. Bill
Braid continued his torrid pace also
by getting credit for three goals.
Up with the leaders was reserve
Lee Rice who played his position
with veteran coolness in scoring
three goals that helped in the Ag
gie win.
