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.

By Harold Borofsky
Battalion Sports Editor
Aggies Prime for T. 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!

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.”
