Aggies Should Go on Another Scoring Spree
In New York; Strength of Ags Still Unknown
New York and Yankee Stadium
will be the next stop of the high
est scoring team in the nation—.
the Texas Aggies. They have
compiled a total of 95 points in
two games, and should have an
other scoring session against N.
Y. U. Marty Karow scouted the
Violets in their game with Lafay
ette last week, and from Marty’s
reports, the Aggies should have lit
tle trouble with the New Yorkers.
The climate and the atmosphere
and all such bunk may be differ
ent up in the “Big City” but that’s
what the experts said about Texas
and Colorado, and the Longhorns
scored as much as they wished.
It is still too early to tell any
thing about the team. True, no
body expected the Aggies to run
up such high scores, especially
against A. & I., but, then, the
competition the Ags have been
getting is nothing to brag about.
In their two games, the cadets
have indicated that they have some
of the flashiest backs in the con
ference. They have also just about
solved their problem for a passer
in Derace Moser, Lee Daniels and
Tom Pickett. But the thing that
worried the coaches at hhe start
of the season is still very much
in evidence. That is the middle of
the cadet line—it’s still obviously
the weak link of the team, and
unless it is patched up in a hurry,
we’re going to hear more than a
tuneful of taps. The centers have
improved, yes, but not enough to
assure the coaches confidence in
that respect. As for the guards,
Homer Norton still has trouble
in finding the right combination.
The first week he used Les Rich-
hardson and Ray Mulhollan, and
the next he started Roy Bucek
and Weldon Maples. Bucek play
ed for above par against A. & I.,
and it is almost sure that he will
start next Saturday. However, the
other guard is a problem. Richard
son will probably start the game
unless he is still bothered with his
calf injury. In that case, Maples
will take his place.

New York University Lists Nine Grid Opponents From Six States
Teams From East, Big Six, Southeast and Southwest To Play The Violet
Washington is Next Stop
For Ags; Plan Light Drills
Coach Norton and his Texas Ag
gies will board the train this af
ternoon from Vincennes, Indiana,
for Washington, D. C., where they
plan to take a couple of light work
outs before heading for New York.
The team arrived in Vincennes
Wednesday morning and took a
couple of light drills. Though they
Were tired, everyone was in fine
spirits, and settled down to work
immediately.
Passing Drills
Featuring some great passing
work by Derace Moser, Leo Dan
iels, Tom Pickett, and Cullen Rog
ers, the gridsters worked earnestly
in preparation for New York Un
iversity. Blocking and tacklihg
were also stressed in the workout
with Jake Webster, Willie Zapalac,
and Roy Bucek shining in that
respect. Bucek’s work has greatly
improved since the start of the
season ,and he should be in the
starting lineup against the New
Yorkers Saturday.
Following their drill Wednesday
the team packed up and took the
train for Washington, D. C. They
will arrive in New York Friday af
ternoon, and plan to take at least'
two more workouts before game
time Saturday.
N.Y.U. Ready
Meanwhile reports coming from
the New York camp indicate that
the Violets will be more than ready
for the Texans. The Gotham team
didn’t do as well as was expected
against Lafayette last weekend,
but Coach Mai Stevens has indicat
ed that the Violets will prove to
be a worthy opponent for the Ag
gies.
Both teams are reported in the
peak of condition, and an interest
ing game is in prospect. A crowd
of some 25,000 customers is ex
pected for the fray Saturday, which
will be broadcast over the Nation
al Broadcasting Company at 1 o’
clock.
New York University faces its most strenuous schedule in football history and Coach Mai Stevens will
I rely heavily upon this quintet of Violet stars during the campaign. Jimmy Tighe, Vincent “Roxy” Finn
and Joe Frank are three star running backs while Boss Cherico, stellar guard and Paul Boroff, ace end are
[husky linemen with 16-cylinder speed.
Varsity ‘B’ Squad
Faces Freshmen In
Regular Tilt Friday
Everyone Invited to Attend
Free Game Staged at 4 PM
The varsity ‘B’ squad will meet
the freshman football team in a
full-time game on Kyle Field Fri
day afternoon with the starting
time being set at the tentative
time of 4 p.m. Everyone is in
vited.
The ‘B’ squad will be augmented
by the “Blue Boys” and the in-
eligibles, some of which are flashy
players. Outstanding among the
ineligibles is Ed Sturchen of San
Antonio. Sturchen is an outstand
ing fullback, weighing 220 pounds
and standing about six foot four.
He is slated to be a big element in
the Aggie backfield when he be
comes eligible next year.
The varsity men who did not
make the trip to New York have
been continuing practice and will
take part in the game Friday.
The freshman squad has been
working diligently under the dir
ection of Coaches DeWare and
Smith, and assistants. This game
Friday will give them more actual
game practice which should prove
to be helpful to them when they
play their next regular game a-
gainst the Rice Slimes before the
A. & M.-Rice varsity game.
This squad game will enable the
corps a chance to see the varsity
prospects who have been in the
shadows because of ineligibility
or slightly under-par playing a-
bility. The ineligibles of this year
will be a strong part of next year’s
varsity team.

Handball [for the upperclass
men has started and quite a few
fellows have been down working
out in the hand
ball courts. They
maintain that
their organiza
tion is going to
win the handball
tournament and
that they are just
“doing their
share.” Other
members might
Oxford well adopt this
philosophy.

The Williamson System runs up
against three close games in the
Friday pickings. We take Du-
quesne over Manhattan, St. Vin
cent over Waynesbury, and George
Washington over Washington &
Lee. Our ratings place St. Vin
cent and Waynesburg as being
equal but we will string along with
St. Vincent
The game between Case and Kent
State will not be so close and we
pick Case to win hut they had
better he careful. Texas Tech
will win over Loyola and Presby
terian will take the Citadel in
a tough game. Temple will defeat
Georgetown U. and U. C. L. A.
will perhaps win over Montana.
The Idaho-Gonzaga game will
be close but the System will take
Idaho. • Western Reserve will take
Akron and Ole Miss will go down
before the attacks of Georgia.
The probable winners are named
in Capital letters in the William
son selections for Friday’s games.
