You have been given permision to leave after your last class Friday in order to be in Fort Worth Saturday when we tramp those Toads, so get that old thumb in the breeze and get there! Your team needs your backing and they know that you aren’t going to let them down. Let’s go, Army, see you in Fort Worth! - /V DICK OVERLY SPARKY EBERLE Aggies Prep For Game Saturday With T.C.U. Frogs S. W. Conference Leader To Be Decided at Ft Worth Official Corps Trip Marks First Since 1941 Football Season; Band to March at Halves Saturday will be a big day for-f the Aggies when they tackle the T. C. U. Horned Frogs at Ft. Worth in a clash which will be a deciding one. Both the Aggies and the Frogs have come this far in the football season with no defeats. A win for either of the teams will go a long way in deciding who will be a contender for the Southwest Conference title this season. T. C. U. has pi^ed one game and that a conference game with Arkansas whom they defeated, 13-0. The Aggies have played three games, winning from Bryan Air Field, 48-6; Texas Tech, 13-0; and Louisiana State, 28-13. The last game played boosted the pres tige of the Aggies considerably be cause the L. S. U. Tigers were considered a real threat to any team that opposed them. With the coming game, the two teams will battle for the conference lead; Sa turday will tell the tale. In the backfield for the Aggies, there is Red Turner from Beaumont who has made quite a record for himself by making a majority of his point-after-touchdowns good. This, with his touchdowns, has put him at the head of the conference scorers. Red’s punting average put him at the head of the nations punters with a 40.5 average. With Red in the backfield is Hallmark, Beesyel, and Flanagan. These men have proven to be a great help in putting the Aggie team at the top in the conference. It was Beesley who passed to Moore and Long for the two touchdowns that won the game. Hallmark was the main cog in the Bryan Field win. Flhna- gan has shown his skill in everyone of the games that he has partici pated in. The line comes in for its share of the credit, however, when you consider that they have held the opponents to a minus two yards gained rushing. Dick Wright has made a name for himself already in that he is a stand-out player of that position. The other players have also made the Aggie team what it is at this time. Not much is known about the T. C. U team but they have always proven to be a tough foe for the Aggies. No one can predict the out come of the game because the game with Arkansas is not a fair basis for predictions. After the game Saturday afternoon, one of the teams will have the upper berth in the Southwest Conference. T.C.U. - A. & M. Game Carried by WTAW The college radio station, W. T. A. W., will broadcast the A. & M.- T. C. U. football game this Satur day. The Humble Oil Co., has granted this station permission for the benefit of those who will be unable to attend. The game will begin at 2:00 p. m. on Saturday. Since this is the only station within 100-mile radius to carry the game on its scedule, the broadcast will afford the re sidents and students a clear station for listening. Soy Beans Vital To United States LAFAYETTE, I n d. — Soybeans are becoming more vital to this na tion according to reports of K. E. Beeson, Purdue University exten sion agronomist, brought back from a meeting of the American Soybean association recently held at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. One-third billion pounds of flour, grits and flakes are being allocated for use in theis country from the quantities of soybean products that will be available next year. The War Food administration announced that more than 12 times the quantity of soybean pro ducts available last year has been allocated to civilians for the 12 months ending next June 30. The bulk of the supply will be used to meet critical nutritional needs 'of conutries liberated or expected to be liberated by the AlRes. It was estimated that 75,000,000 Americans ate some foods contain ing soybean products last year. Such products were included in breads, soup powders, macaroni, breakfast foods, pancake and simi lar mixes in home cooking. COME IN TODAY And Let Us Fill Your School Needs!

C. U. Horned Frogs; Close Arid Tough Battle is Indicated Yes sir, just ask anyone and they’ll tell you that the Aggies are really headed places now. At any rate, just ask T. C. U. coach Dutch Meyer, for Dutch has really been building the Aggies up in his talks with the sport scribes of the state. However, Dutch is no fool, but rather a very wise strategist. He knows that the Aggies are good and he is hoping, by making us overconfident, to surprise us next Saturday and take the game. Coach Homer Norton, the Cadet mentor, has not been idle either, for he has kept the boys working out hard and rough and is not ta king anything for granted. The team should be in fairly good condition for the game with the exception of George McAllis ter, whose knee is not yet in top shape. Marion Settegast and Eldon Long should be able to play though neither will be in top condition. T. C. U., in its opening game with Arkansas, which they won 13-0, displayed plenty of power both on the running and passing offense, and their defense was also excel lent. A tough game is on hand as well as a thrilling one when the speedy Ags clash with the Toads. HATS OFF TODAY to Marion Flanagan, whose runbacks against the Tigers last week played a large part in the winning of the game. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It’s hard for a team to come from no where and win games, but it’s a lot harder for a team to keep plug ging away just as hard when they have won games and have been built up as a success. If we allow ourselves to become over confident we will surely lose. The going is really apt to be tough next Satur day, and we’ll have to work to win. We can do it, Old Army, let’s show them we can! More ACTD News “EXHAUST” Squadron V Good evening Mr. and Mrs. North America and all the ships at sea, let’s go to pres,—Flash—!! Sailor Boy, Sailor Boy won’t you be my Sailor Boy. Oops! there goes our Mr. Sailer beating out his version of “Begin the Beguine” on the cla rinet. Those jivin jacks in Squadron V really dig it when they bellow in their horns. The pi-eyed piper had nothing on these boys when it comes to a contribution for a jam session. Epitaph We extend our condolences to Mr. Bunnell, Who hurt his toe when he fell. When he arose, he bumped his nose And said, “Gee, what’ll my wife say.” Name it and you can have it. Who wants it anyhow? What are we talking about, nothing less than “Mack the Turtle.” These two are always together, going to and from class, the two are un doubtedly friends. Two of a kind. Hep! Hep! Merrily we march along with the two new drill mas ters, A/S Wong and Nolan. In clear contralto tones the com mands roll forth (even on the right foot sometimes.) At ease, carry on, we’re only ribbing boys. Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Frank Si natra is singing, “You’ll Never Know.’’ Mr. Sapolin the great ad mirer of the great swooner is re peatedly asking for silence when Frank sings. Mr. Sapolin was seen cuddling close to the radio the other night with that far away look in his eyes. Personally, we like Crosby, but you and a million other girls can’t be wrong. Special request—One bulletin— The guy who accidentally got a Ronson Cigarette Lighter can have the fluid and extra flints at the same time at the same place the Lighter was “found.” Have you noticed our very ami able Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Ander son working feverishly over a hot typewriter puffing away on a ci gar. Gee! I remember days when cigarettes were in style. (EDITOR’S NOTE.—Under the guise of friendly chat, I’ve in veigled “info” from the Squadron Editor, Mr. Persky. Since he was so impolite as to mention my smoking ciger-gars I guess I’ll have to tell what I know of his Houston Activities. Social Life gained in tempo over his week-end stay. (Suppose you tell us just how many dates you did have two timer.) The Cola Canteen in Ramp C is sure doing Big Time Business. It has become the rendezvous for many a weary lad who likes a short snort and chat before call to quar ters. But easy does it, Joe Dope, handle equipment right. The next fellow likes to get a coke and it makes it very boring to have the machine keep returning your buf falo because Joe Dope banged on it until the machine broke. After all . What’s the Good News, Mr. Blue bird.—Maybe you heard the dream of Mr. Knoch. The dream ran like this, we quote Mr. Knoch, “I dreamed I was trying to get in heaven, St. Peter sent me back and told me I’d have to go to the bottom of the “pearly stairs” and write Physics Formulas in chalk on the steps all the way to the top. Yes sir, I was about half way to the top writing away and who do you suppose I met coming down, none other than Professor McCor- kle. “Professor,” I says, “Where are you going?’’ Quick as a flash he answers, “Back after more chalk.” In Geography Class it was ex plained that about 300 pounds of sugar came from a ton of cane. Mr. Whitley said, “there is a lot of sugar in t Houston raising cane.” What better authority could we (See EXHAUST, Page 4) GET YOUR UNIFORM ORDERS IN TODAY Tailored to Your Measure By Expert Craftsman Be Smart and Military in a Uniform by Zubik ZUBIK & SONS North Gate If you want to buy it . . . .
