Don’t Fool Yourself—Texas Longhorns
Are Still Tough And Are Not Easy to Handle
Only two more days remain—
two more days before the titanic
struggle between two great teams
—the Texas Aggies and the Long
horns of Texas university. And
a great struggle it will be when
these two ancient rivals clash this
Turkey Day.
The Aggies have waited a whole
year, 52 weeks, 365 days for this
event. The very day that Coach
Dana X. Bible’s team upset the
dreams of the Cadets, 7-0, Bill
Henderson, sensational pass snatch
ing end, remarked, “Wait’ll next
year!” Well, Army, “next year” is
just around the corner. The very
day that we have been waiting for
has just about arrived, and Coach
Homer Norton’s gridsters are set
to meet their bitter rival with
grim determination and spirit.
But in all this confusion, in all
our confidence we forget one
thing—the Longhorns themselves.
This is a much stronger team than
the one that beat the Aggies last
year. They have everything—
manpower, speed, and deception.
Let’s keep that in mind. Yes,
they were a much different team
when they tied to Baylor and lost
to T. C. U. then they have been
all year. However, that doesn’t
mean that they cannot get back in
stride. They are still the same
team that bowled over six top-
notch opponents by overwhelming
scores. They still have Pete Lay-
den and Jack Crain, two of the best
backs in the conference. Too, they
can gain back plenty of their lost
prestige if they shatter the jinx
on Kyle Field and down the Ag
gies.
We are undefeated and untied,
and we’re the champs of the South
west Conference. But what good
would it all be if we got beaten
by Texas? It would only tend to
shatter all our dreams again and
end this season in an atrocious
manner. Let’s not allow our con
fidence to run away with us. It’ll
take more than a jinx to beat the
Longhorns—it will take determi
nation, spirit, and the will to win
like never before. Let’s not have
anyone remark, “Wait’ll next
year.” We want it this year!
Sports Squibs From Here and There; Coach
Norton Gives Comment on Bishop’s Article
In reference to an article writ
ten by Curt Bishop, sports editor
of the Austin Daily Tribune, Coach
Norton has this to say . . . “I’ve
never seen the guy, never talked to
him, and as for his quotations
about me and the players, they
are as false as they can be” . . . .
Mr. Bishop’s article was based on

Jack Crain, the Nocona Nug
get, will be a key man in the
Longhorn’s attempt to break
the Kyle Field tradition. Play
ing from his position at quar
terback, Jack has been a power
in the Texas backfield. He is
the leading conference scorer.
By clinching the Southwest Con
ference the Texas Aggies have
automatically received an invita
tion to play in the Cotton Bowl at
Dallas, New Year’s Day, according
to Dean J. S. Waterman of the
University of Arkansas, president
of the conference.
The annual Cotton Bowl classic
was taken over by the conference
just prior to last January’s game
and the conference champion is
urged to represent the Southwest
in the Cotton Bowl game... If the
team invited does not choose to
accept the invitation and asks per
mission to play in another post
season game instead, the confer
ence will have to be polled on the
request.
An answer has not been given
by Aggie officials as yet and one
is not expected until after the
Thanksgiving game with the Tex
as Longhorns. Aggieland in gen
eral refuses to comment on bowl

Aggie-Longhorn Statistics
Figures intended to be used to dope out the winner of the Texas

settling arguments. So, for the benefit of those who figure they can
figure the victory from comparative figures—here is the complete
season records of all players handling the ball on both the Aggie and
Longhorn teams this season:

~ Tty Dub Oxford
B Signal Corps can play foot
ball! And at that, it is a master
piece of understatement. I have
never seen such a well organiz
ed team as B Signal Corps. They
have a deceptiveness which is re
markable. And their deceptiveness
is built around a brilliant aerial
attack led by George Van Cleave.
However, they also have a run
ner who is gifted with snake-hips
... .in fact he is so elusive that
he reminds one of Texas universi
ty’s Jack Crain. Dewitt Brown is
the man I am talking about. . .
Their plays are executed with
perfect precision and calmness and
must have been figured out from
a heavy skull practice. I don’t know
who is the “mind” behind the plan
ning of the plays, but who ever he
is, he is a wizard.
When they played their game
with D Infantry,
from the kick off
to the final gun,
they never gave
the “Paddlefeet”
a chance. Not
only did they
make four 20
and four 40 yard
penetrations t o
their opponents
Oxford none, but the fin
al score of the game was 18-0.
Upperclassmen may look for
ward to Speedball as a coming
sport. The sport will be offered
as soon as touch football is finish
ed. Class A Tennis is now in the
finals.
