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!

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,

and in doing so proved themselves
to be plenty tough.
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-

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.

Ponies Stress Passing
Presto Johnston, the other half
cf S. M. 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.
