That’s just the kind of game it
will be—one to remember.

if some unheard of starter turns
out to be a great runner, passer or
excellent punter.
Talk here and there the past few
days by those who have seen both
teams in practice and individuals
in action seem to mark the game
as a draw, giving the Maroons the
best chance to come out on top.
The main question is just how
the speed, deception and passing
attack will show up against a hard
power driving eleven.

While Dictator nations across
the sea are loosing their bombs,
cannons, and gas, causing fearful
destruction of innocent people, we
in America fight our battles on the
gridiron. And it really is going to
be a battle next Sunday after
noon on Kyle Field. The mighty
Maroons against the deceptive
Whites.
The Aggies will see an amazing
Blitzkreig of powerful football
and the proceeds will go to help
the innocents of great battles ac
ross the sea in their struggle to
keep^ Demofflracy the predomin- 1
ant force of the world.
An interesting interview with
Col. Watson brought out this high
light. “The opportunity to see a
very interesting athletic contest
and at the same time aid two ex
tremely worthy causes is unusual.
The game between picked teams
of the Cadet corps, trained by
Varsity coaches and fired by the
enthusiasm of their fellow ca-
and is both dangerous and fast.

sets 205-pounds of brawn in the
tackle position to plug any holes
on his side of the line, and is able
to pull out with plenty of speed
on the offense.

shape with talent ready to go.

“The distribution of the prof
its equally between the Students
Aid Fun and the “Bundles for
Britain” should find a ready res
ponse to the appeal for a large
attendance.”
Mr. M. L. Cashion, Chairman of
the College Station Red Cross,
made this statement. “It is both
the duty and privilege of every good
citizen to support causes that ben
efit mankind. However, one must
be educated to such responsibil
ities. Any participation by the stu
dents in a project such as the Ben
efit Football game is helpful
training.”
Col. Ike Ashburn: “The purpose
for which the game is being play
ed is extremely laudable. If the
weather is pretty, it will offer a
fine afternoon of healthful diver
sion.”
Dean Kyle, Chairman of the Ath
letic Council: “For many reasons
I have always been strongly in
favor of the athletic contests be
tween the groups of athletes such
as found on the Maroon and White
teams in the game next Sunday. I
hope for a large attendance.”
Tickets for the game may be
secured from all first sergeants and
the College Courts Cafe.

Whites Will Depend
Upon Speed and Deception
Coach Charlie DeWare’s White"
team, can well be classed as a fast
and deceptive team. All the backs
average about 185 pounds. The line
averages 185 pounds. The team it
self isn’t built on any one star, but
on a group of boys who will hus
tle and fight together. All of the
backs depend on speed and speed
alone to carry them through in
their battle with the heavier Ma
roon team.
DeWare has indicated that his
team will hustile and fight hard
on the gridiron. The Coach has a
quartet of backs who should burn
plenty of cinder before they’re
through. One of these is J. B.
Roberts, former all-stater from
the state championship Corpus
Christi team of 1938. He is a triple
threater and should give the Ma
roon team plenty of worry Sunday
afternoon. Another back who
should see plenty of service is
Frank Lebus, 145 pound swivel-hip
ped all-state back from Longview.
He is also a noteworthy passer and
blocker.
■ J. M. Beavers, 180 pound full
back from Mart, and one of the big
gest backs of the Whites, should
add some power to the speed and
deception of the team.
The line, which has been daily
scrimmaging and working on their
blocking and has some linesmen
that should have Line Coach Bill
James’ eyes wide open. Some of
the erstwhile linemen include the
following: Earl Johnson, 185-pound
tackle, who has looked good both
on defense and offense; Jack Kar
as, 180 pound guard, who can really
“rock ’em” and “sock ’em”; E. B.
Junge, 155 lb. end, who snags them
from any place.
