Picking Aggies to Trounce Longhorns On
Historic Kyle Field; Also Tulsa Over Arkansas
The Texas-A. & M. game is the top game of the nation,
and the eyes of the whole country will be focused on this
particular event. It will be broadcast all over the country,
South America and even Europe by shortwave. This game
does not hold anything at stake as the Aggies have already
clinched the conference championship, but players on both
sides of the fence regard it as THE game of the year.
In the other Southwest Conference feature of the day,
Arkansas travels to Tulsa, Oklahoma to encounter the pow
erful Tulsa Hurricane, champions of the Missouri Valley,
in their annual Thanksgiving clash.
Saturday afternoon, final stages of the Southwest Con
ference race will be drawing to a close. S. M. U. journeys to
Fort Worth to meet the second-place T. C. U. Horned Frogs,
while Baylor plays host to the Rice Owls at Waco.
Thanksgiving is one day a sports
writer does not wish to attempt
and prognosticate games because
of the grudge factor, but since
everyone does it, we’ll try and hit
at ’em as close as we can. Let
’em fly.
A. & M.-TEXAS . . . This is the
game that all Aggies have been
waiting for the past 52 weeks.
Coach Homer Norton and his grid-
sters have compiled a gre^it record
here, and this is definitely not the
stopping place for them. Not that
the Longhorn team is not great it
self. We think that the Steers
will play up to their old standards
but the famed Aggie “aerial cir
cus,” featuring Derace Moser and
Leo Daniels, and the pass snatch
ing f Bill Henderson, Jim Ster
ling, Marshall Spivey, Boots Sim
mons, and Cullen Rogers, will dis
perse anything that Coach Dana
X. Bible has to offer. The Frogs
and the Bears managed to stop the
Steers tricky offense, and there
is no reason why the Aggies won’t
do the same. They are fighting
mad today—they know they have
a tough battle—and are set to
give everything for the story that
is Aggieland’s. Once this great
team starts clicking, there’s no
stopping ’em. Ask Baylor. IT’S
THE AGS BY A COUPLE OF
TOUCHDOWNS, 21-7.
ARKANSAS-TULSA . . . This
is the Razorbacks’ final game of
the year, and I just can’t see where
they have any kind of a chance
to stop the Hurricane. Tulsa is
the Missouri Valley champ, but
has a record of one win and one
loss in the Southwest Conference.
At any rate it’s the Tulsans by a
19-7 score.
Texas Yearlings Conquer Fish Team 18-7
TCU Frogs Picked to Defeat Mustangs
In Saturday’s Game; Owls to Shade Baylor
In the other two conference
games which will be played Satur
day, T. C. U. gets the nod over
S. M. U., while Rice gets a very
close call over Baylor.
T.C.U.-S.M.U . . . The second-
place Horned Frogs of T. C. U.
should have just enough spark to
beat the dangerous S. M. U. Mus
tangs. With Emory Nix in there
throwing for the Frogs to such pass
receivers as Van Hall, Bruce Al
ford, and Frank Kring, we’ll give
the Frogs an edge on this one,
20-14.
RICE-BAYLOR . . . This is the
hardest game of the day to picsc.
All indications point to an easy
Owl victory, but the Bears have
been known to be double-tough
on their home grounds. Too, the
Baylor injuries will be in the peak
of condition, and with these fac
tors on their side, a tough battle
is in prospect. However, with
Spinnin’ Bob Brumley in top shape,
the Owls should have just enough
to bring home the bacon. Give the
feathered flock from the Bayou
City a 10-7 edge.
In other games Saturday after
noon, it’s Vanderbilt over Tennes
see in a close one, Tulane over L.
S. U., Washington over Southern
California by 7, Oregon in an up
set victory over Oregon State, Stan
ford over California (but watch
out!), Navy over Army by 10

Texas Offense
Proves Too Much
For A&M Freshmen
By Dub Oxford
Assistant Sports Editor
Sparked by Allen Lawler, and
Don Fambrough, coach Clyde
Littlefield’s Texas Yearlings won
over the Texas Aggie Freshmen
by a score of 18-7. The game, an
annual prelude to the Thanksgiv
ing Day tilt between Texas Univer
sity and the Texas Aggies was
played on Kyle Field Wednesday
afternoon and perfect football
weather prevailed. Attended by al
most 4,000 Aggies and spectators
the Texas Yearlings showed power
that had been hidden all the season.
First Quarter Score
With the game a nip and tuck
affair until almost the end of the
first quarter, the Texas Yearlings
took advantage of the Aggies in
ability to hold the ball. Vernon
Belville fumbled the ball on the
Aggie six yard line and Max Bum-
gardener of Texas recovered. The
Yearlings then let loose their power
house and took the ball over the
goal stripe for the first tally of
the game. Coy Warren of Texas
made the touchdown and Don Fam
brough attempted the extra point.
His kick was blocked by Long
John Knight and the score was now
6-0 in favor of the Texas Year
lings.
Belville’s Pass Intercepted
The second quarter opened with
Charlie Manichia and Vernon Bel
ville taking turns at passing. It
was this passing that spelled the
second touchdown for the Year
lings. Belville attempted to pass
but the ball was intercepted by
Montgomery Wagoner who raced
66 yards toward pay dirt before
he was stopped by Bellville. Bill
John scored the touchdown for the
Texas Yearlings. Don Fambrough
risked running the extra point and
failed.
Lawler Ace Passer
With the ball on the Aggie 31
yard stripe, Allen Lawler began
a series of passes and runs that
resulted in the Texas Yearlings
making their third score of the
game. Lawler passed to Bum-
gardener on the last down to make
a touchdown. The try for extra
point was blocked by Ed Dusek.
Aggies Score
Big Ed Dusek began the Aggies
spree toward scoring by carrying
the ball to Texas’ 13 yard line.
After a series of hard plays, Bar
ney Welch went around right end
for the Aggies only score of the
game. Johnnie Davis kicked the
extra point and it was good. The
remainder of the game was a hard
fought battle but the final gun
ended the fray with, the score
Texas Yearlings 18—Texas Ag
gie Fish 7.

A Couple of Rough Steers
True Aggie Spirit--94
Year Old Confederate
To Attend Game Today
Leaving Meridan, Texas, this
morning for College Station, T. L.
“Uncle Tom” Dunlap, a ninety-
four year old Confederate War
veteran, will attend the annual
Thanksgiving Day classic between
the University of Texas and Tex
as A. & M. Dunlap has two neph
ews attending A. & M. at present
and has been an Aggie fan for
years. He also has been an admir
er of Tom Pickett, Aggie backfield
star.
Such a display of Aggie spir
it is to be commended and “Uncle
Tom” will probably see a battle
comparable to one of the Civil
War battles he took part in.
He is one of the few surviving
ex-Confederates in Texas.

Jullian Garrett, left, and Chal Daniel, right, will be the starting
Texas guards when the Longhorns clash against the Aggies this
afternoon. Both have been stalwarts in the Steer forward wall
all season and have dealt much misery to the opposing backs.
Daniel, All-American candidate, is in his last year.
INTRAMURALS
By
DUB OXFORD
I
Oxford
Football is definitely in the lime
light on the campus at present
and intramural football is no ex
ception. Perhaps the members of
the 6 CHQ football team should
be on the varsity
squad. They beat
D Infantry 18-0
and played only
8 men. To any
one watching the
game it seemed
that the Foster
hall inmates were
everywhere at
once.
C CWS sank
under the mighty
efforts of I Replacement Center,
the wonder team of the intramural
football fields. The Chem boys
put up a good fight, but the RC
players won by a 20 yard penetra
tion. B Replacement Center also
has football players. They took
their game with G Infantry by a
6-0 score. Playing “heads up”
football, B Cavalry made on touch
down while D Replacement Cen
ter ended up with the score on the
zero side. F Coast Artillery play
ed L Infantry and the Coast Ar
tillery won 13-0.
In class B volleyball it seems
that all the teams won their
matches 2-1. B Coast beat C Engi
neers 2-1, C Replacement Center
won over G Infantry 2-1, Head
quarters Cavalry beat H Infantry
2-1. Breaking the montonony, B
Cavalry freshmen proved that they
could hit a volleyball as well as
play with a polo mallet.

The Aggies of Texas A. & M.
draw a tough assignment Thurs
day in trying to keep their record
clean. The Longhorns of Texas
university will be attempting lo
bounce back in the win column aft
er their last two games. However,
the Aggies should rope the Steers
this time over at Kyle Field.
The last two championships of
major football conferences may be
decided in games scheduled this
weekend—the Pacific Coast and
the Southeastern. On Saturday Ole
Miss will be as nice a host as cir
cumstances will permit to Missis
sippi State. They play at Uni
versity, Mississippi, and the win
ner will gain the percentage cham
pionship of the Southeastern Con
ference. The system picks Ole
Miss.
Probably against most experts
we’ll pick Oregon State, in a
game that will have a great bear
ing on the Pacific Championship.
If their respective Williamson rat
ings of 91.9 and 90.9 are justified
by the score, and Stanford loses
to California there’ll be a five-way
tie for the conference title. How
ever, the system picks Stanford
over California.
S. M. U. over T. C. U. (against
the ratings) in a close battle which
should be a real thriller as these
two traditional rivals clash in Fort
Worth.
A fighting Navy team should
down Army in one of Saturday’s
big games. The middies of An
napolis have an advantage over
Army’s cadets.
Several local grudge matches are
on schedule Saturday, including
Tulane over L. S. U., Washington
U. of St. Louis over St. Louis
(hard and close), and Georgia over
Georgia Tech (always fierce).
For Thursday Tulsa should beat
Arkansas in a game that may be
close.
Williamson ratings follow below;
the probable winner is in capitals.
