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.
Coach Charlie DeWare

The Texas Aggies, although they won last Saturday, suffered
a hard blow when it was revealed that Don Luethy, one of the best
prospective sophomore tackles on the team, received a broken ankle
in the game. “Loop,” as he is more commonly known, came to A. &
M. from Monahans High School where he lettered in football, basket
ball. and boxing, and then won his freshman numeral in football here.
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
