“Four Horsemen’’ of Ag Coaching Staff Have
Done Great Job With An Inexperienced Team
Let’s give credit where credit is
due. For five weeks now, the Ag
gie machine has been gaining mo
mentum and improving with each
contest. Sure, much credit should
be paid to the players—Moser, Dan
iels, Spivey, Sterling, Ruby, Sib
ley, Richardson, Simmons, et al.
They’ve been doing a swell job,
but there are four men in this
school that are distinctly in the
background—you know they are
there but you just take it for
granted. Sort of '"‘unsung heroes”
you might say. We’re talking about
none other than our coaching staff
of Head Coach Homer Norton,
Line Coach Bill James, Backfieid
Coach Marty Karow, and End
Coach Dough Rollins. This four
some have molded another great
Aggie machine—starting out this
time with only green and inex
perienced material. They have
worked hard—as hard as any, of
the players, and if you think the
players got that hustle and spirit,
why just drop around the practice
field and watch their coaches.
As for their coaching ability,
let’s take Coach Norton first. He
is in his seventh year here, and in
that time has put out two cham
pionship elevens. Bill James, un
doubtedly one of the best line
coaches in the country, up to date
has one of the three best defen
sive forward walls in the nation.
The experts thought our line would
be weak, but they didn’t reckon
with “Uncle Bill.” Marty Karow
has done an exceptional job in turn
out some of the greatest crop
of backs in the country, while at
the same time doing a great job
of scouting. Last but by no means
least—Dough Rollins. One of the
best end coaches in the United
States, he has turned out such
stars as Herbie Smiah, Bill Stages,
Johnny Morrow, and the present
crop of Jim Sterling, Bill Hender
son, and Boots Simmons. As a
scout, we doubt if there are any
better than Dough.
So when you’re around the gym
anytime, why, drop by and give
our “four horsemen” a real pat
on the back. They deserve it.

Heroes!
All the admiring glances
in the stands are not di

there’s many an eye di
rected toward the smart
new Griffon top coats that
we’ve been selling!
New are the unusual
blends of brown and blue
that are the season’s style
hit! New is the shortness
of the coat which makes
last year’s styles look an

Drop in and take a look.

Team to Have
Light Workout
Before Saturday
The Texas Aggies leave Aggie-
land at midnight tonight for Lit
tle Rock, Arkansas, where they
meet the Arkansas Razorbacks Sat
urday in their fourth “foreign”
game of the year. The cadets have
five wins against no defeats and
will be trying for their third con
ference victory. Upon their ar
rival in Little Rock at noon Fri
day, the Aggies will go into a
final workout on the Little Rock
High School field.
Few Injuries
Four Aggies are on the injured
list: Tom Pickett is suffering from
a hurt knee and cracked ribs while
Alabama Smith, Les Richardson
and Lincoln Roman are down with
bruised knees. Pickett is not like
ly to see service against Arkansas
as Coach Norton wishes to allow
him to fully recover before put
ting him back on the firing line.
Martin Ruby is still bothered with
a fractured hand but the protec
tion of the plaster cast will allow
him to deal lots of misery to the
Razorbacks.
The scrimmage sessions have
been featuring punt and kick-off
returns. Derace Moser, Leo Dan
iels, and Bob Williams have been
shining with some brilliant run-
backs. The cadet line has been do
ing nice work in scrimmage and
should be up to the usual high par
it has shown so far this season.
Running plays have been stressed
in an effort to bring the Aggie
ground game parallel to the out
standing passing offensive.
The Razorbacks, with their bean
pole ends, will more than likely
open up with a threatening pass
ing attack and the Aggies have
been working on a pass defense
designed to stop the Arkansas
aerials. With their three cracker-
jack backs in the pink of condi
tion, the Porker ground play is not
being taken too lightly.
Norton Cautions Corps
Coach Homer Norton reports
that the usual squad of about 35
men will make the Arkansas trip.
He says that aside from the four
men on the injured list the Aggie
squad is in fine condition. Norton
issued a warning against the corps
and the team becoming too optimis
tic; stating that five games, all of
them against tough teams, are still
to be played—ONE AT A TIME.

Top game among the Friday
contests remains the Penn State-
N.Y.U. clash at New York. This
game will decide between these
two neck and neck teams. Another
fray which should prove to he
interesting is the Clemson-George
Washington battle. The Clemson
lads should have little trouble here,
but one can never tell.
Of all the games this week—big
and small—this writer would like
to be present to see West Texas
State top Hardin Simmons. There
are two real teams among the so-
called “little” schools.
The predictions for games of to
day and Friday are listed below
with the probabl® winners in Capi
tals.

Interest in Bowling
Is Declining at A & M
Bowling, heretofore one of Ag-
gieland’s favorite sports, has shown
a decided decline in popularity this
semester. R. D. Hill, manager of
the Y. M. C. A. alleys, states that
the only reason he can determine
for the decreased attendance is the
fact that the students this year
are spending more time studying.
Women howlers on the local al
leys haven’t slowed down, however,
tut are increasing in number each
week. At all hours of the day
women can be seen occupying at
least one of the Y alleys.
The idea of intramural bowling
was brought up last year, but be
cause of the scarcity of alleys on
the campus this idea was given
up altogether. Building ten new
alleys in the Assembly Hall was
also discussed by the Y. M. C. A.,
but this idea too has been cast
aside—at least temporarily.
Hill relates that, strangely
enough, the biggest week of bow
ling on the A. & M. campus is
the week of mid-term examinations
in January. During this week the
alleys are always full, from open
ing in the morning till closing time
at 10 p. m.

as thirst comes. You taste its quality, the quality of genuine
goodness. Ice-cold Coca-Cola gives you the taste that charms
and never cloys. You get the feel of complete refreshment,
buoyant refreshment. Thirst asks nothing more.
