L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Gridders Need Support of Entire Corps Saturday afternoon Coach Hom er Norton’s 1944 Aggies will blast the lid of the football season, a season we hope will bring the Southwest Conference Champion ship back to Aggieland. These boys face a gruelling 11-game schedule, a schedule which fails to have a let up in it. Although the boys are bigger LOUPOT’S Where You Always Get a Fair Trade and older than they were last year, the Aggies are far from being an experienced team. The majority of the boys are recent high school graduates, as yet untried on the college gridiron. They are going to need the support which they de serve form the Corps—that sup port which all preceding Aggie elevens have had. The Corps is taking the game with Bryan Air Field too lightly. We may run over them again as we did last year, or it may be a close hard fought game. At any rate, the entire Corps should stay I here for this game. Some two per centers, and mostly Seniors at that, are planning to leave early this week, before the Bryan game. They will tell you they have more important things to do, and can’t wait over an extra day or two. In the old days, the Senior Class at A. & M. we looked up to by the rest of the student body. This still holds true in many cases, but if the Seniors leave before the ball game, they will lose the respect of the freshmen as well as the entire corps. That gall can wait an extra day until you get home; in fact, she may not even be as anxious to see you as you think she is. Why not show the- footballers we are really the “Twelfth Man” by toning out 100% for the opening game.

No one knows what it is about that place that makes a girl a Tessie but never-the-less they are sweet to some people. Sweet pois on. Tessie Laments When God passed out brains I thought He said trains, And I missed mine. When the Lord passed out legs, I thought he said kegs, And asked for two short ones. When He passed out the noses I thought he said' roses, And asked for a big red one. When the Lord passed out ears, I thought he said beers, And ordered two tall ones. Am I a mess!

College Road Tel. 2-6725 Toasts for Tessie Here’s to the girl who knows how to kiss . . . There are few I have met who knew it, If any girl here thinks she know how to kiss, I dare her to come up and do it. Here’s to the girl I love I wish that she were nigh, If drinking beer would bring her here, I’d drink the whole place dry. A Week of Holidays \ 0 NE MORE WEEK or less than a week. A week of more doing than has been done in a long time. A week to rest and relax. Only thing about this recreation is that it takes a week or more to rest after a few days of relaxation. Kidding aside though, It is good to have a few days respite from the monotony of the classroom. Everyone is stale and even if a week isn’t enough it will do a lot to freshen each individual’s out look. BEAT BRYAN FIELD —CORPS— (Continued iiom page 1) Saturday will be a final semester review.
