By S. L. “Slim” Inzer
Battalion Sports Editor
(As this edition of the Battalion
will go to press before the Aggies
tangle with Texas Tech, this writer
will have to do all of his cussing
and discussing about the Bryan
Air Field game.)
Aggies Show Class In Opener
Although the Aggies were up
against rather slight opposition in
the game with the Bryan Air Field
Ducks, they did show signs of de
veloping into a first class ball club
before the season is over. A young
team such as this will become
tougher to handle as the season
progresses, but their performance
in this game showed they will be
tough all the way down.
Several members of the squad
turned in brilliant performances
in the opening game. Bob Butch-
ofsky probably turned in the best
all around game of anyone on the
field. Besides looking good run
ning with the ball, he turned in a
fine defensive game and threw the
best block of the afternoon. Bobby
G'off reeled off the longest run of
the afternoon when he skipped
through center and ran 80 yards
for pay dirt.
Jimmy Cashion may develop
into a first class passer, and the
same thing can be said for Tom
Daniel. Both boys turned in good
jobs of quarterbacking, although
Cashion appears to be the cooler
player.
Paul Yates looked good carry
ing the ball on several occasions,
but his understudy, “Stubby” Mat-
Aggies Due to Shop
As this paper goes to press be
fore the Texas Tech game and will
not be delivered until after that
game, there is no way to make any
comments on the action of the Ag
gies against the Red Raiders. How
ever since my many readers have
asked that I predict the games in
Oklahoma Next on Schedule
thews caused more talk in the
press box. “Stubby” is a fast and
dangerous runner, and may be
come the Aggies’ main running
threat before the season progresses
very far.
In the line, Monte Moncrief and
Charles Shira turned in their usu
ally fine brand of ball. Joe Sacra,
probably the best defensive line
man of the Aggies, was also a
power in the line. Clarence Howell
and Norton Higgins each did their
share of the pass receiving, Hig
gins scoring after one catch.
Summing up this game, the en
tire team looked pretty good, but
there is still plenty of room for
improvement. There were too many
fumbles, and the majority of these
came in the open field where there
was no excuse for them. However,
this being the opening game of the
season, some fumbles were to be
expected.
The defense of the Aggies ap
peared to be all right, Bryan Field
never being able to gain any yard
age against the line of Coach Bill
James. The spirit of the Aggies
was also excellent, when you take
into account the intense heat which
the gridders were playing under.
Raiders
advance, I will please both of them
by saying that the Aggies will win
from Texas Tech by the score of
26-0.
If I am wrong on this one, I
promise not to pick another win
ner all year.

Aggies journey to the Sooner state

to tangle with the University of
Oklahoma in a game that promises
to be a thriller. Coach “Snorter”
Luster is reported to have a big
experienced team which is well
fortified with Naval trainees; a
team which includes three all-Big
Six players from last season.
This game is to be played at
Oklahoma City on the night of Oc
tober 7. The Aggies will be at a
disadvantage of playing away from
home, but as the Texas Tech game
was a night game, they should be
broken in under the lights.

(Continued from page 1)
percent of those in attendance,
about half of whom were in uni
forms, were graduates of the Tex
as A. & M. College. There are only
about 287 licensed veterinarians in
the 254 counties of Texas, Dr.
Grist said. Our livestock industry
is too vast and too valuable for
this small number to do an ade
quate job of protecting their health,
and he called upon schools like
Texas A&M to turn out more
skilled manpower.
