TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1943 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 Undefeated Aggies Run Over Texas Christian, 13-0 17,000 Fans See Fourth Win For‘17-Year-01d’Team Hallmark, Turner, Butchofsky and Flanagan Lead Aggies To Victory Taking to the air in third period of the game Homer Norton’s “glorified high school team” of Texas Aggies clipp ed the horns off the Texas Christian University’s Horned Frogs before a crowd of 17,000 Saturday afternoon at the T.C.U. stadium, in Fort Worth,-- to the tune of 13-0. The two scores were made on passes from the mighty arm of Jim (Babe) Hallmark and these two attacks from the air netted the Aggies 103 yards. On the first throw, Bob Butchofsky was stand ing in the Clear, took the ball on the Frog 15 yard line and ran across for the first tally without being touched. Stanley Turner cov erted from placement for the extra point. Seven minutes later Hallmark faded back and threw to Marion Flanagan near the sideslines. The fleet Aggie half ran about 20 yards for the second score. Turner, on attempted conversion, failed to make the extra point. Twice during the first two per iods the Aggies hammered inside the Frog 20 yard line to be hurled back by what appeared to be super effort on the part of the T. C. U. team. One time the Aggies push ed the ball down to the Frog two yard line and lost it on downs. Greatly outplayed, the Frogs man aged only once to get the ball down to the Aggie 15 yard line, the only scoring threat the T.C.U. team made during the game. The first half of the game proved to be rather dull, with only an oc casional thrilling moment, high lighted by the brilliant punting of Turner, who pulled the Aggies out of hole after hole with his cool and accurate kicking. Jim Lucas, toe man for the Frogs, tried hard to carry his punts up to the Tur ner standard, but did not make the showing that Turner handed in. The Aggies held the ball much better than in previous games, it was observed, with only a mini mum of fumbles. Early in the sec ond period the Frogs got the ball on the Aggie 23 yard line as the result of an Aggie fumble which Royal James of the Frogs recov ered. On the first play after the recovery, Lucas dropped the oval and Earl Beesley recovered for the Aggies on the 21. The Aggies opened up with their passing late in the third period and drove down to the Frog 17 be fore they were stopped. It was Hallmark doing the pitching and Jesse Burditt and Marion Sette- gast doing the catching, that brought the ball into scoring po sition.

They will be given the opportunity to inspect WAC barracks, mess facilities, sind recreational rooms, and to inter view Air-WACs to gain first-hand information on their suitability to Army life. It was emphasized that the Army Air Forces campaign will not be merely directed toward the re cruitment of large numbers of wo men, but in every case the suitabi lity of the volunteer for the avail able job will be the fundamental consideration underlying accept ance. Through the job of training and experience, WACs in the AAF be come like any other soldier, an in tegral part of a smoothly function ing was machine. The AAF campaign will be con ducted under the direction of the Training Command with Head quarters at Fort Worth, Texas. Teams will be placed in the field by virtually every Air Forces in stallation in the country for the purpose of interviewing applicants. University Sets Up War Time Aims “Our one aim is complete victo ry over our enemies and their way of life. To that end we expect our students to choose work which will equip them for leadership and service at this time. We know that our students will want this train ing as quickly as possible. There fore, our entire program is plan ned to permit year-round attend ance and a wide choice of neces sary wartime studies. We shall co operate with all students in their effort to obtain the best possible training in the time at their dis posal. “We are determined, in spite of changes from peacetime policies, that standards of instruction and good learning shall not be lowered. No educational values will be sa crificed. “Our one goal for our students is that they become stalwart, un derstanding, and useful. That, we believe, is the heart of education, whether in peace or in war.” At the start of its 1943-1944 year, the Univ. of Miami, Florida, voices its academic aims, and, at the same time speaks for all colleges and universities in this nation at war. Because Lawrence College, Ap pleton, Wis., is the only Midwest conference school with a football team this year, it was difficult for the school to find opponents to meet on the gridiron. It looked as though Lawrence would have to celebrate a football-less Home coming until it was learned that Notre Dame’s V-12 team had no game scheduled for October 16. Lawrence College officials were successful in persuading the Notre Dame team to play that day so now Lawrence no longer looks forward to a barren homecoming.

This was another game in which the local club left no doubt in the spectors mind as to the outcome of the game. The locol club, the Tigers, has not had a coach since Damon Tas sos resigned last Monday. The team is under the direction of Jimmy Cashion, and Mr. Bunting, the superintendent handles the subs during the game. > Cashion made the first score of the game' for the Tigers in their seventh play from scrimmage, but the extra point was no good. lola set up the next touchdown for the Tigers by fumbling on their 38 and Cashion took the ball over from there for the second score for the Tigers. Cashion, number 43, took the ball over for the Ti ger’s third score from the 6. In the second period Carroll passed to Cashion for the fourth score. Later in the second period Cashion passed to Shaffer to the 2 yard line and Marshall took it over for the fifth score. Spiker re turned an lola punt for the sixth score. • In the third period Carroll ran the ball over from the 30 for the seventh score and later Cashion again ran the ball over for the eighth Tiger score. In the fourth period Marshall ran 32 yards for the ninth score and in the last few minutes of play, Shaffer ran the ball over from the 3 for the tenth and final score of the game. Cashion made four of the ten try for extra points good. The line play of the Tigers has improved and if this improvement keeps up the Tigers will have an excellent chance for the district championship.

NTAC Prepares for Clash With Aggies On Saturday Oct. 23 Stout, Reed, and Smith Will Be Out; Team Not Up to Par Minus Stars Arlington, Oct. 18—The North Texas Aggies are bearing down in practice sessions this week an prep aration for their game at Kyle Field next Saturday with the Texas Aggies. It appears that the Arlington squad wili not be at full strength for this contest, since it is doubt ful that J. P. “Pete” Stout, 200- pound NTAC tailback, whose run ning and passing have sparked the team’s offense in every game the locals have played thus far in the season, will not be able to play. Stout received a blow on the head in the Southwestern-NTAC contest in Austin last Friday night and is still in an Austin hospital. In pasting the “ Little Ags” 26-0 -6 in that game, the Pirates not only disabled Stout but also bruised several others so painfully they will not be in top form. Included in this group are J. J. Gibson, blocking back from TCU; Burnie Smith, big tackle from SMU, and James Reed, crack guard from Tex as Tech. ( All this is not to say that the Ags will limp on the field Satur day in wheel chairs. Some pretty fair replacements are available. James Batchelor, former Texas Longhorn fullback, will replace Gibson and Howard “Red” Maley, former SMU passing wizard, will substitute for Stout. Very probably Kieth Curry, 210- pound tackle from T. C. U. will fill in for Reed and Weldon “Scratch” Edwards, a 225-pound tackle from T. C. U. will replace Smith. Coach J. G. Holmes will devote most of the practice periods this week to drills on pass defense. “Those Aggies san really throw that ball,” Holmes said. “We’ve got to pass some ourselves if we get anywhere.” After watching the big Aggies subdue T. C. U. last weekend, Holmes declared that the Cadets are the best club except Southwes tern that he has seen all season, and he’s seen nearly all the South west Conference clubs play. The University of Illinois re cently found out that many of the Navy and Army men stationed on the campus didn’t know about the USO at Chamgaign-Urbana. The baby grows up! After taking a neat razzing from every sports writer in the Southwest Conference, the “glorified high school” Texas Aggies have made four attempts on the gridirons of the Southwest and have brought in four slabs of bacon. So it looks, as if Norton’s high school lads will he a threat to the conference title, inspite that they have been called the Aggie “Kiddie Korp” by the sports scrib es. The win over the Frogs at Fort Worth Saturday served to streng then the Aggie team and to better prepare them for the coming on slaughts with SMU and Arkansas and for the Turkey Day classis with Texas to be played here on Kyle Field.

Y.—Practical one-year courses in many tongues should replace the traditional cul tural studies for two and three years in a few languagese in post war schools, stated Professor Ma rio A. Pei of the romance lan guages department, Columbia Uni versity, recently. While Professor is in favor of continuing the lenthier language studies for those who wish to spe cialize in them, he feels that the briefer intensive courses in many tongues will not only banish the average American student’s apathy to language training, but will also be of greater use in post-war re lations with other countries. “What is wanted during the war and after is languages, many lan guagese, for purposes of com munication, but not a few selected languages for grammatical and stylistic correctness and literary values,” says Professor Pei. ing games, the Aggies have a fair chance to keep up their winning streak—since all three of these teams have been brought togeth er and trained under war-time con ditions and limitations. The game next Saturday with North Texas Agricultural College, a branch in the A. & M. system, may prove to be a diferent story. The junior Aggies are well for tified with Navy V-12 men, with a 210 pound line to romp through the Aggie aggregation to clear the way for an experienced back- field that has been collected from the best football teams of the na tion. However, Uncle Sam may have altered some of this condi tion by transferring a group of football-minded V-12 men to other college the latter part of last week. And—doping out what the Aggies will do this year is a task that most sports writers have stuck the neck out on, since they seem to miss the fact that the “Spirit of Aggieland” lives on, even in war-time. And—many sports writ ers have failed to take into consid eration the fact that Homer Nor ton and his staff are tops, even when dealing with a “glorified high school Kiddie Korp.” So it is possible that the Junior Aggies from NTAC may be plan ning to weigh their V-12 anchors on Kyle Field Saturday, but be fore they do, they’ll have to lick eleven good football players, the Twelfth Man, and the spirit of Aggieland that is winning much harder and much more serious bat tles on every front of the war torn world of today.
