Aggies Aggie-Day Sweetheart Moser, Gillespie, Expected To Carry Brunt of Offense Teams Enter Fracas in Crippled Condition; Game Time Is Set For 2:30 By Mike Haikin Battalion Sports Editor It’s corps trip time at Aggieland, and with that theme in mind, the cadet corps of 6700 and Coach Homer Norton’s Texas Aggies “invade” Fort Worth this afternoon to meet the challenge of the highly touted Texas Christian Horned Ffogs. Game time is 2:30, and a capacity crowd of 25,000 fans are expected to witness the question-mark teams of the conference fight it out for supremacy on the Frogs’ soil. Moser vs. Gillespie Too, the fans will witness one of the greatest individual duels that the conference has ever put on when T. C. U.’s Kyle Gillespie meets the Aggies’ Derace Moser in a contest for passing, running, and kicking honors. At this stage Gillespie leads the cadet triple-threat flash in only one department—kicking. Moser has the' advantage in passing and running, being one of the leading passers in the nation. Both are considered as key men of their respective offenses, and are expected to open up with every trick imaginable. Teams Crippled The Aggies and Frogs enter this game with some of their stars Cadets Will Occupy East Side Of T C U Stadium Class sections that will be ob served for today’s game have been announced by Cadet Colonel Tom Gillis. The cadet corps will occupy the entire east side of the stadium. The senior section will extend on both sides of the 50-yard line to approximately the 35-yard line. The junior section will be on both sides of the senior section to the 15-yard line. All remaining seats in the Aggie section will be occupied by sopho mores and freshmen. Sections V and W will be rserved for the sen iors and sections U and X will be reserved for juniors. The senior section will be main tained throughout the game, but after the first quarter, sophomores and freshmen will be allowed to take unoccupied seats in the jun ior section. The same regulations that ap ply to seating in Kyle Field will be in effect at today’s game. on the sidelines. For the Aggies, Wayne Cure, guard; Jim Sterling, All-Conference end; Dub Sibley, Tom Pickett and Willie Zapalac, were injured in last week’s game with N.Y.U. and are not expected to be in the peak of condition. How ever, Sterling, Sibley, and Zapalac are expected to start the game. Ready to give aid if necessary to the injured will be Boots Simmons and Harold Cowley, aggressive ends, A. J. Mercer, Cotton Wil liams, and Leonard Holder. Big Billy Blackstone, first-string center, and Gus Bierman, reserve back, are the Frog injuries who will be on the sidelines most of the time. Both sustained injuries in the Indiana fracas last weekend, and are not expected to be in the thick of the fight today. However, Blackstone may still get to start at the pivot post, but all indica tions point to A. G. Odell, a bril liant up and coming center, but one who needs game experience. Same Lineup Latest indications are that Nor ton will start the same lineup that has clicked so well in the past three games.

First US Student Financed Fellowship Honors Hensel of Landscape Department Fund Allots $500 Annually for One Deserving Senior By Tom Leland At the Landscape Art Banquet held last night, the new F. W. Hensel fellowship was announced. This fellowship will consist of a sum of $500 which will be given each year to some deserving senior in the landscape art department. The fellowship is named after F. W. Hensel, head of the land scape art department at A. & M. Hensel graduated from A. & M. in 1907; from here he attended Cornell University where he re ceived his master’s degree. From Cornell he returned to A. & M. to teach in the horticulture depart ment, where he was a professor until he founded the landscape art department here. Hensel is directly responsible for the many attractive shrubs, flower beds, and all landscaping on the campus. He is in charge of the up keep of the campus grounds, and through his efforts, the campus of A. & M. has been made one of the most attractive in the state. The senior who receives this money will be chosen each year by vote of the other seniors in the landscape department on the basis of his personality, scholarship, and Honored F. W. Hensel his general character. This selec tion will be subject to the ap proval of the faculty of the land scape department and a proposed Money Obtained From Concession For Flower Sales board of other college officials. This fellowship is the only one of its kind in any college in the nation in which the money is rais ed entirely by the students them selves. The fund will be raised from profits of the student flower concessions. In the past, these concessions were held by individ ual students for their own bene fit. Now, the concessions will be taken over by the landscape club. This new arrangement will not only raise money for the Hensel Fund, but also will give more landscape students experience in commercial flower arrangement and m the selling of flowers. A cer tain percentage of the money earn ed will go to the club members themselves and the rest will be contributed to the fund. Present at the banquet in Hen- sel’s honor were Dr. and Mrs. T. O. Walton, Dean and Mrs. Gibb Gilchrist, Dean and Mrs. D. W. Williams, professors of the land scape department, and students ma joring in landscape. Frogs 1941 T. C. U. ROSTER No. Player Home Town Pos.
