F Infantry triumphed over I Field
in a class B playoff match. The
“paddlefeet” won the touch foot
ball game by one 20 yard penetra
tion. The game was one of the
closest matches this season and
both teams played “heads up” foot
ball.
Although A Infantry won 7-0 ov
er 3rd Headquarters Field Art.,
both teams showed a great deal of
work and planning in working out
their plays. Another commenda
ble incident of the match was the

Consolidated A & M
Prepares for Bedias
The Consolidated High Tigers
are hard at practice getting ready
for the Bedias Alligators, who
they meet Friday for the south
zone championship of district 26-B.
If the Tigers win they will be un
disputed champions and then will
play Buffalo for the district flag.
Should Bedias win, however, the
race will end in a three way tie
with the lola Bulldogs, the other
team with a claim to the champion
ship.
In their last game the Tigexs
beat Trinity High, but in doing so
they lost the services of their first
string guard, Aubrey Parsons. To
remedy this situation Coach W. B.
Liles has shifted Jim Gabbard from
his tackle position to fill the
vacant guard slot.
Everybody else except Parsons
will be ready for the game. The
backfield of Cashion, Todd, Kinsey,
and Vincent are in top shape, and
should give the Alligators a bat
tle from the first whistle. The
game will be played at Tiger Field
on Friday afternoon.

Five Members
Of TCU Team Are
On Injury Roster
Bond, Blackstone, Pugh
Hampton and Gillespie Not
Expected in Centenary Tilt
Five members of the T. C. U.
starting eleven and four of the
thin line of reserves—better than
20 per cent of the Horned Frog
squad—are on the injury list as
Coach Dutch Meyer tries to patch
up his team to meet Centenary in
Shreveport, Saturday—and Texas,
Rice and S. M. U. on succeeding
Saturdays.
John Bond, big right halfback, is
the latest casualty. He broke his
collar bone in three places in the
Baylor fray, and is lost for the
season.
Jim Hampton, reserve tackle,
twisted his knee in the same game
and is out for a week or two.
Leonard Pugh, first string guard,
is in bed with an injury that the
medicos have not been able to an
alyze. It may have been a slight
concussion.
Billy Blackstone and Kyle Gil
lespie, regular center and quarter,
respectively, out for several weeks,
are on the road to recovery. Black
stone might play some against
Centenary; Gillespie will not be
ready before the Texas game, if
then.
Eugene Williford and A. C.
Odell, reserve centers, are two
more crips. The former has been
having knee trouble all year, the
later is recovering from the flu.
Gus Bierman, left half, hurt his
knee in the Indiana game and has
been out ever since. Capt. Bill
Crawford, with a shoulder injmy
from the Aggie tussle, is begin
ning to round into shape and should
be ready to go against Texas.

Three Agronomists
Leave Saturday For
Washington Meeting
Dr. Ide P. Trotter, head of the
Agronomy department, and W. R.
Cowley and S. P. Whippo, mem
bers of the department, are leav
ing Saturday morning to attend
the meeting of the American So
ciety of Agronomy in Washington,
D. C.
They are expected to return after
about ten days of extensive con
ferences and meetings with leading
agronomists from all parts of the
country. The American Society of
Agi’onomy meets annually in Wash
ington, D. C., for the purpose of
making known to its members the
latest facts and experiments in
the field of agronomy.
While at the meeting Dr. Trotter
will give a report on a co-opera
tive project between the Depart
ment of Agronomy of the college
and the Division of Agronomy of
the Experiment Station. The pro
ject, the testing of 20 varieties of
oats for winter pasturing, has been
carried on here at the agronomy
plots.

Madison “Matty” Bell brings
his strong Southern Methodist
Mustangs to College Station Sat-
ui’day determined to knock the Tex
as Aggies from the rapidly thin
ning ranks of the undefeated and
untied teams of the nation. Matty
is known for the great amount of
emphasis he places upon defense
play and is generally accepted as
one of the best defenisve coaches
of the nation. However, his team
this year has been taking the of
fense more than ever.
Bell, a veteran coach of 21 yeaxs
experience, is heading the South
ern Methodist university football
staff for his seventh year.
Matty began his football career
at Centre College back in 1916
when Centre’s “Praying Colonels”
were the toast of the football
world. After graduation in 1922,
he went to Haskell Institute as
head football coach, leaving there
in 1922 to become head coach at
Carroll college in Wisconsin.
His Southwest Conference debut
was made in 1923, when he was ap
pointed head coach at Texas Chris
tian university, where he stayed
for six years. During this stay,
the Frogs finished in second place
twice, third twice, fourth once ,and
seventh once. Bell came to Aggie
land for a five-year stand in 1929,
replacing Dana X. Bible, present
head coach at Texas university.
His record at A. & M. shows his
teams taking third place in the
conference twice, fourth twice, and
seventh once.
The Mustangs gained the ser
vices of Bell in 1934 when he came
to S. M. U. as assistant to Ray
Morrison, who resigned at the end
of the 1934 season to become head
coach at Vanderbilt. Upon Mor
rison’s resignation, Matty became
the Mustang mentor, whose first
year as the top Pony coach is
remembered by all Southwest Con
ference fans. During the 1935 sea
son the Mustangs won 12 straight
games and received the Southwest’s
first Rose Bowl invitation.
The following two years were
lean for the Methodists, finishing
in fifth place in 1936 and in sixth
place in 1937. In 1938 his squad
came back to finish in second place
behind the undefeated Horned
Frogs of Texas Christian. Bell’s
1939 Mustangs came through to
tie with the Baylor Bears for sec
ond place with the undefeated-un
tied Texas Aggies taking top hon
ors. The 1940 session saw Matty
Bell bring his Poines the highest
they have been since his first year
at the reins—co-champions with
Texas A. & M.

■■
To assure coast-to-coast telephone facilities adequate
to meet future defense needs, the Bell System is con
structing a 1600 mile, $20,000,000 cable line between
Omaha and Sacramento.
Several newly developed "plow trains,” working from
opposite ends of the line, are burying the cable for
maximum protection. They dig deep furrows, lay two
cables in them and cover them with earth—all in one
continuous operation. Their meeting will mark com
pletion of the first all cable line across the continent.
Carrier systems ’will be operated in the cables — one
direction of transmission in each.
This vast project is just one of thousands in which
the Bell System is now engaged to provide additional
communication facilities so vital to
Army, Navy and defense industries. ass
