Page 4 THE BATTALION -THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1941 By (Hike Uaikin Battalion Sports Editor Aggies Still Remember “That Kid Named Joe” Who Beat Them in ’38 With Field Goal Three years ago, at Ownby Sta dium in Dallas, a kid named Joe, broke into the S. M. U. lineup ngainst the Aggies just enough for one play. That one play proved the difference between victory and a tie as Joe booted a 46 yard field goal to give the Mustangs a 10-7 win. That particular kid named Joe was none other than Joe Pasqua, one of the best tac kles in the South- Joe laid PASQUA. I Tackle west Conference today, cut a year, but came back roar ing last year, and was responsi ble for giving the Mustangs a co- championship. He kicked the win ring point against • Rice Institute to give the Ponies a 7-6 win and a tie with the Aggies for the crown. This year, Joe, again has that tee of his well educated. He almost gave the Mustangs a victory over Fordham when he booted one to put them into a shortlived 10-7 lead. Last week against Texas, although he was hurt, Pasqua play ed a jam-up game, and attained T raises from Coach Dana X. Bible and all the Texas players. S. M. U. may be regarded as a two man team with Johnston and Maley in there, but don’t forget Joe Pasqua. For a lineman to win two conference games in this league is more than a miracle. Take that from us. So while that kid named Joe is in there fight ing for the Mustangs, don’t sell them short. Those three-pointers come in handy once in a while. Large and Colorful Rodeo in Prospect For Friday and Saturday; Girls to Participate Tomorrow night in the A. H. Pavilion, another one of those fam ous Aggie rodeos gets under way. In its twenty-second year, this cne promises to be the greatest of all rodeos held here. Hereto fore, only Aggies were eligible to participate, but this year some eight beautiful bronc-busting fe males of the plains will be added to the already colorful show. The rodeo, which is sponsored by the Saddle and Sirloin club, is one of the few rodeos held in a col lege. Many followers of the bronco-riding sport concede that the Aggies have one of the largest attractions in college circles. Held just before the A. & M.-S. M. U. game, it has always drawn a capac ity crowd, and there is no reason why the best and largest of all the rodeos can’t do the same this year. Shorty Fuller, president of the club, and Caddo Wright, rodeo director, have worked hard to put this thing over and they deserve a lot of praise. So let’s turn out either tomorrow afternoon or night to watch this grand array of bronc- riding and bronc-busting Aggie cowboys—and cowgirls. It’s two- bits in the evening and four-bits at night, and you can always hock your roommate’s radio. So it's the rodeo tomorrow for us!

Here They Come # MMfe Tackle SMU Still Has Good Record Even With TU Mark; Johnston and Maley Sparkplugs Pony Team Has 16 Letter men, Are Offensive Club By Chick Hurst Junior Sports Editor When the Aggies take on Matty Bell’s S. M. U. Mustangs Satur day afternoon, they face the stiff- f st competition the current season has yet offered. Not that Arkansas wasn’t tough, but the Ponies from down Dallas way have really got what it takes to win ball games. If you don’t believe it just ask Jim Crowley, whose powerful Fordham Rams lucked out in the last thirty seconds of their early season clash. Mustangs, No Pushover Many people, after last Satur day’s poor showing against Texas, rate the Mustangs as a pushover. But nothing could be further from the truth- It was simply a case of a good team against a great team. The Ponies threatened sev eral times against a team ranked as one of the greatest in history, CORPS DANCE Saturday Night featuring...

Johnston and Maley The potent Mustang offense re volves around Preston “Presto” Johnston and Howard “Red” Maley. Johnston, long famed for his boom ing punts, has developed into one of the hardest hitting fullbacks in the conference, and is also com petent at circling the ends. In Maley, Matty Bell has discover ed a boy who shows promise of becomng one of the nation’s great. Playing his' first year of varsity ball, Maley has developed into a superb passer and an exceptionally fine running back. Rounding out the S. M. U. backfield are Lendon Davis and Horace Young, both steady and capable performers. Mustang Line In front of this quartet is one of the most rugged lines in the country. Led by Joe Pasqua, al ways a nemesis to the Aggies, and Ted Ramsey one of the stand out guards of this conference, the Mustang line has dealt its oppon ents plenty of misery this season. Other pillars of strength in the forward wall are Guards Ramsey and Fawcett, Tackle Lynn Bostick, and stellar ends Gus Tunnell and Kelly Simpson. Injured in the bruising battle with the Longhorns, Maley and Pasqua will probably watch Sat- Pasqua and Ramsey Are Spearheads Of Pony Forward Wall urday’s clash from the sidelines. However, with Abel “Frito” Gon zales to step into Maley’s shoes, and Clarence Booth to take Pasqua’s place, the Ponies should not be seriously crippled. At any rate this will be one of Saturday’s top contests, and win, lose, or draw, the Mustangs can be counted on to give the Ag gies quite a battle. Red Maley Out for Three Weeks With Torn Cartilidge; Joe Pasqua Is Hurt With only two more days left before their important clash with the S. M. U. Mustangs, Coach Homer Norton’s Texas Aggies worked harder than ever on their ground game yesterday and Tues day afternoon. Running mostly from the double wing formation, Derace Moser, Leo Daniels, Bob Williams and Jake Webster ripped eff chunks of yardage against the “B” team and the Fish. Karow’s Report Backfield Coach Marty Karow, who scouted the Mustangs last Saturday, brought word that S. M. U. even if they were run over by Texas still would be tough to handle. He explained that the Ponies could be beat if the Aggies play the game they are capable of,’ but would find themselves in a difficult spot if they didn't consider the Mustangs with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, word coming from Dallas, indicates that Howard “Red” Maley, sensational sopho more passer, is certain to be on the sidelines when the Mustangs and cadets clash this Saturday. Maley suffered a torn cartilidge in his leg and is expected to be cut of action for some three or four weks. Joe Pasqua, ace tackle, also was banged up badly in the Texas game, but there is an indica tion that he may be of some ser vice. Roy Ownby was the only other casualty, suffering a broken hand. The rest of the team is in good shape and ready to go against the Aggies. \lways clean and Iree from goo no natter how often /ou smoke it.

U.’s offense, continued to shine with his great broken field running and kicking. Frito Gonzajes took Maley’s place and proved true with his passes. He connected with such pass receivers as End Roland and Gus Tunnell and Backs Horace Young, “Dandy” Dick Miller, and Cliff Hagerman. Coach Matty Bell also stressed the Pony pass defense which evident ly was missing against the Texas Longhorns. Meanwhile, the Aggies, too, found time to polish up on their passing and pass receiving. The pass snatchers had a bad day against Arkansas last week, drop ping some half dozen aerials from the true aim of Derace Moser and Leo Daniels. *• * * * * * * * * ON STYLE ft r 3 £ s J When Your Budget Says: ii It’s Time to Get Wise to PENNEY’S LIGHTWEIGHT OVERCOATS il 15 Thoroughbred styles go hand in hand with dis- * tinguished fabrics to bring you clothes of qual ity at a sparing price!
