Aggies Will Leave for San Antonio Tonight Main Worry Lies in Pivot Post Says Norton; Coach Greatly Impressed With Derace Moser In an interview that this writer had with Coach Homer Norton Tuesday morning, many things were cleared up con cerning the Aggies’ potential power. Coach Norton said that he was extremely pleased with the team’s showing last Saturday afternoon, but indicated there were still many weak nesses noticeable in the team. “Our center played a great game on defense, but their snapbacking needed a lot of im provement,” Norton added. Indications that Coach Norton is worried over the pivot post was clarified yesterday and Tues day, when he had Freshman Coach Charlie DeWare give the centers a thorough workout at snapping the ball and block ing the man in front of them. Coach Norton was more than pleased with the playing of Tailback Derace Moser. “I believe I can say that Moser is ,the most improved player on the team, and that he (should go far before this year is out,” Norton said. He also talked favorably of Jim Sterling, Leo Daniels, Tom Pickett, and the reserves. “Sterling’s performance last Saturday can well be classed as of mid season form,” Norton concluded. Aggie Freshmen Show Plenty of Power And Deception in Easy Win Over Allen Academy The Aggie Fish opened their sea son last Monday afternoon with a 40-0 bombardment of Allen Acad emy, and do not play again until November 14, when they meet the Rice Slimes in Houston. The Fish definitely proved to this writer that they have one of the strongest first-year squads that this school has ever had. They had every thing—passing, kicking, blocking and running. Doing most of the offensive work were three stal • warts of the backfield, namely, George Wilde, Barney Welch, and Charlie Manichia. These boys did everything with a football but eat it, and then they would have done that if they had to. Special notice to any freshman that desires to come out for Fish football—All those who have not been issued a suit, and who desire to play football, report to the gym at 5:15 this afternoon and get one issued. All comers wel come.

His coaches have predicted great things for him before he closes his gridiron career, and it is only natural that all Aggies wish him the best of luck in the world. Here’s hoping that ankle heals soon, Loop. Embark at 10 p. m; Leave College at 1:30 Fri Morning Coach Homer Norton and his Texas Aggies will embark the train tonight at 10 o’clock and will leave College Station at 1:30 Fri day morning for San Antonio and the Texas A. & I. Javelinas, whom they meet in the Alamo Stadium Saturday night. Second “Invasion” This will be the Aggies’ “second invasion of the Alamo” as they tamed the Tulsa Hurricane, 41-6, in their first jaunt last year. It will be a different battle this time, however, as the cadets play their first Texas night battle in the his tory of football at A. & M. How the Ags will stand up under the lights will be answered this Sat urday. The 36-man team will arrive at San Antonio early Friday morn ing, and play to take a couple of light workouts in the Alamo Stadium Friday and before game time. Run Hog Plays Meanwhile the Aggies worked hard for their coming Javelina bat tle with scrimmages Tuesday and Wednesday. The team also ran Hog plays, with Derace Moser, Tom Pickett, Cullen Rogers, and Leo Daniels, being stopped with each carry. Passing continued to shine in the Aggie camp with such pass re ceivers as Bill Henderson, Jim “Rosy” Sterling, Boots Simmons, and Harold Cowley maknig many sensational catches. Bill Sibley, A. J. Mercer, Cotton Williams, and Leonard Holder, the Aggie centers, were given a thor ough workout by Freshman Coach Charlie DeWare in ball snapping and blocking, with all the boys do ing improved work. Over Forty Attend First Fencing Meet More than 40 cadets were pres ent at the first meeting of the Fencing Club on Tuesday night, according to Mr. Lambfert Moly- neaux, sponsor of the club, who has recently returned from a leave of absence. This large turnout shows very clearly the growing in terest in fencing here and else where, Mr. Molyneaux further stat ed. The A. & M. fencing team is a member of the Southwest Con ference’s division of minor sports, and freshmen who attend the daily fencing class in the gym from 5 to 6 p. m. will receive credit for physical education. All other stu dents are urged to try out for the team, too, for no previous fencing experience is necessary. The dial telephone system used on the A. & M. campus in 1903 was one of the first in the United States. CLOTHES NEED CLEANING AND PRESSING Before The San Antonio Trip?
