Play of Aggie Forward Wall Responsible
For Cadet Victory; Weldon Maples Shines
The Texas Aggies will arrive at rather foolish at times. In fact,
College Station tomorrow around
noon, and every Aggie should give
this team a rousing welcome. They
certainly deserve it after the way
they got off the ground to give
the Washington State Cougars a
sound thrashing. The score was
7-0, but it did not even indicate
how badly the Cougars were'really
outclassed. The Ags played most
of the game deep in the State’s
territory, but when the Cougars
did threaten, the Cadets threw up
the strongest forward wall faced
by the Pacific Coast team this year.
Never did the Aggies charge
as hard as they did Saturday. Jim
Sterling, Bill Sibley, and Martin
Ruby played a whale of a game,
making those Cougar backs look
many of the Coast sports scribes all
agreed that Sterling played one of
the greatest games of his life.
You can give those boys all the
back-slapping you care to, but our
big line star award goes to Wel
don Maples, a sub guard at the
start of the season, but a start
ing one today. It was Maples who
stopped the Cougars through the
middle. It was Maples who rush
ed the Cougar passers off their
feet, and it was Maples again
who did some exceptional line
blocking to make some of the Ag
gie buck and keeper plays go
through center. Yes sir. the boy
certainly covered himself with
glory, and with another year of
eligibility remaining, he should be
one of the top guards next year.

Nix of T. C. U. at quarterback,
Leo Daniels of A. & M. at one
halfback post, Willie Zapalac of A.

Dickson of Rice at full . . . give
us those set of backs and we will
guarantee to win a score of gam?;S
... No doubt ... in looking over
the T. C.- U. roster, we notice that
Coach Hub McQuillan of the Frogs
did not waste any time going after
cage stars ... he has six Junior

another peculiar note about the
team is that out of 13 members
of the squad, only 4 are from Tex
as .. . the rest range anywhere
from Kansas, California, Minne

those Frogs in the coming cam
paign . . . they may fool many peo

Huffman, Nabors
Shine for A & M
By Mike Mann
(Senior Sports Assistant)
The Texas Aggie cagers went
down in defeat last night in De-
Ware field house before the on
slaughts of the Sam Houston
Teachers by a score of 50 to 33 in
the opening game of the season.
The Bearkats took the lead early u.
the game and were out in front all
the way.
Cole and Joe Walker sparked the
Bearkats and shared the high-point
honors for the game with 15 points
each. Gardner was close behind
with 12 tallies. The latter was the
free goal star of the game, making
six out of eight of the free at
tempts. The Sam Houston squad
was full of speed and cunning,
passing the ball all over the court
with much accuracy.
In the Cadet lineup, Nabors and
Huffman led the scorers with eight
points each and Jarrett was in the
running with seven points. Bad
passes were numerous for the Ag
gies and these resulted in the loss
of a number of points. The Cadets
also missed a number of field goal
attempts and were unable to fol
low the ball off the backboard
closely.
The Bearkats were poticeable at
times in their failure to play the
backboard closely enough. Miss
ing from the Sam Houston lineup
was Don Walker, a hustling six
foot six inch center.
The starting lineup for the Ag
gies was: Cokinos and Jarrett, for
wards; Nabors, center; and Klutz
and Huffman, guards. Substitu
tions were: Stevenson and Wac-
kins, forwards; Bayer, center; and
Peden and Underwood, guards.
For Sam Houston the starters
were: Gatlin and Cole, forwards;
Gardner, center; and Joe Walker
and Green, guards. Bearkat subs
were: Mitchell and Dyson, guards,
and Smith, forward.

Team to Start Preparing
For Alabama December 15
Moser Suffers Slight Hip Injury In Game
With Washington State; All Others OK
After a brief stopover in Sun
Valley, Idaho yesterday, the train-
weary Texas Aggies will arrive
in College Station at noon tomor
row. The team will enjoy a brief
and well earned respite from prac
tice for a few days, with drills
in preparation for the Cotton Bowl
Classic with Alabama’s Crimson
Tide scheduled to begin Monday,
December 15.
Coach Frank Thomas of Ala
bama has already begun grooming
his charges for the New Year’s
Day battle. The Tide wound up
their schedule with a 21-7 win over
Miami on November 28. Since
then they have been taking it easy,
but workouts in preparation for
the Aggies started again this week.
The Aggies came through their
grueling battle with Washington
State’s Cougars in good shape.
The only injury of any consequence
was a slightly bruised hip sus
tained by Derace Moser, but he
should be in ^op shape by the time
January • 1 rolls around. Other
members of the squad sustained
slight bruises, etc., but barring
injuries in practice, all should be
in top shape for the game with
Alabama.

Team Rolls Over TU
In Austin; Score 13-7
Playing in Austin before a cap
acity crowd, the Texas Aggie water
polo team defeated the Universi
ty of Texas water polo squad 13-7
last Friday night. The game was
swam in Gregory gym pool and r>t
the half the game was tied 3-3. At
this point the Texas squad looked
good. The Aggies then rallied and
in the remaining time left in the
half came back and piled up ten
more points.
In the game with a Galveston wa
ter polo club, the Aggies won
both of them. The scores were 12-
2, and 16-3. Playing Texas uni
versity twice, the Aggies have
won both of those too. Now the
only team the Aggie varsity wa
ter polo team has to play is the
Campus Club, a water polo team
composed of men on the A. & M.
campus. So far, the Aggie water
polo squad is undefeated and is
leading in the state water polo
