Frogs and Aggies Are Rated Even Texas Christian University’s Horned Frogs will invade Kyle Field Saturday afternoon, offer ing the Aggies their first oppo sition in conference play during the 1944 season. TCU has already played a 6-6 tie with Arkansas in the opening conference game. These two teams are rated about even this year, the Aggies defeat at the hands of Oklahoma and the Frogs tie with Arkansas are the only black marks on either team’s record. TCU has been idle for the past week which gives them two weeks to prepare for their invasion of Aggieland. A. & M. came out of the LSU battle with no additional injuries, and chances are they will be in better physical shape against the Frogs than they have been at any time this year. Jim Parmer and George McAllister both took part in the Tiger battle, playing only a few minutes each, but another week may find them in good con dition. The big question mark which faces the Aggies is, however, Bob Bqtchofsky. Butch has been sorely missed since the Tech game when he suffered a broken jaw. A spe cial helmet has been constructed Coach Leo “Dutch” Meyer, left, will bring his T.C.U. gridders to Kyle Field Saturday for the all- important game with the Texas Aggies. Meyer’s Frogs were de feated by the famous “Whizz Kids” last year, 13-0. On the right is Hub McQuillan, former Aggie coach, who is now Meyer’s assistant at the Fort Worth school. LOUPOT’S A Little Place - - - - - - A Big Saving! but so far has not proven satis factory. If this helmet can be made to protect Butch’s jaw and he is able to play Saturday, the Aggie backfield will be greatly strengthened. Last year the Whizz Kids took a 13-0 game from the Frogs in Fort Worth, a .victory which was termed an upset in some circles. This year, the Aggies will have the advantage of playing at home, and will also have some much needed experience. T. C. U. has played three games this fall holding a 7-0 victory over Kansas U., a 34-0 win over the South Plains Army Air Field, and the tie with Arkansas. BEAT T. C. U. Aggies Hold Lead In T.C.U. Series . The Texas Aggies and the Horned Frogs from Texas Christ ian University have been carrying on their football revalry since 1897 when TCU was known as Add Ran College. The Froge trimmed the Aggies in the first game played 47 years ago by a score of 30-6, second top heavy defeat plastered against the Cadets in the long and friendly gridiron rivalry between the two schools, being surpassed only by the 34-6 decision of 1938 when TCU had the outstanding team of the nation. After the victory in the first game, the Frogs had many lean years until in 1925 they beat out the Aggies for the second time by 3-0, a year the Maroon and White team was Southwest Con ference champions. Only blot on the record of A. & M.’s 1927 con ference champions was the 0-0 tie played with TCU. Texas A. & M. College and TCU have met on the fottball field 39 times in these 47 years, some years playing two and three games, and several years elapsing at times between games. In 23 games the Aggies have been the victor. The Frogs have taken 12 games and the other four have ended in ties. Next Saturday they will meet on Kyle Field at College Station with kickoff time set for 2:30 p. m. This will be the first Southwest Con ference game of the 1944 season for the Aggies, but the second for GET THOSE WOOL UNIFORMS NOW Have some Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior wool pants, shirts and blouses left.

L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Uncle Bill James Presented Gold Football Wednesday afternoon, when Dean E. J. Kyle was presented the diamond studded gold football, another one of the same design was presented to Line Coach Bill James. Friday’s Battalion failed to mention this, so we would like to do so now, and also pass on a story about it. On the day after the Orange Bowl game this year in Miami, Uncle Bill and several others went on a fishing trip. While on this trip, thej fishing line became tang led up with his watch chain, and pulled his watch and nine gold footballs, eight set with one dia mond and one set with three, into the water. So when they were passing out the awards Wednesday, they re membered Uncle Bill with a gold football set with three diamonds. Aggies Show Fine Defense in L. S. U. Game Although this writer did not make the trip to L.S.U., all reports indicate the Aggies exhibited a better type of ball playing against the Tigers than they did against the Oklahoma Sooners. The de fense of the Nortonmen seemed to show the most improvement, the hard charging Aggie linemen hold ing the Bengals in check all night. Every lineman who saw action turned ih a creditable game, but special mention must go to Monte Moncrief, Joe Sacra, Bill Gray, Norton Higgins, Cotton Howell, Greek Tassos, and Charlie Shira. These boys broke through on nu merous occasions to throw oppos ing ball carriers and would-be pass ers for losses. No Tiger back ever really got a chance to pass the ball without two or three Aggies around his neck. The real surprise of the game turned out to be Bill Geer, letter- man end who joined the squad just prior to the Texas Tech game. Geer turned in a jam up defensive game, recovering two L.S.U. fumbles dur ing the night. It would be a hard job to pick the outstanding back for the Ag gies as several turned in fine per formances. Special mention should go to little Gene Spires, for although he failed to break loose for any long gains, he turned in a bang-up game on defense. He was respon sible for breaking up most of the few passes the Bengal backs were able to throw. Paul Yates, the conference’s leading scorer, again came through in the clinch when he made the lone touchdown of the game. Bob by Goff did a fine job of punting in spite of his injured leg, while Jimmy Cushion and Mann Scott did their share of the ground gain ing. Fumbles marred the entire con test, but this can be charged to the dew which covered the playing field. The Aggies were guilty of four fumbles, one of which cost them a touchdown, while L.S.U. fumbled six times, losing the ball on four of these occasions. Summarizing the game, the Ag gies seem to have had better team work and Jbetter line play than they have had in any game so far. More emphasis was placed on their running attack, only three passes being thrown. If the line continues to improve, especially on rushing the passer, Bobby Layne of Texas U. will be in for a hard afternoon come Thanksgiving day. Texas U. — The Team to Beat IntramuralOfficers Eat Bar-B-Q Ionite The Y Cabin will be the site of the first meeting of the Intramural athletic officers to be held Tuesday night at 6:30. W. L.

DonT Forget Loupot’s Loan Fund The University of Texas Long horns proved again Saturday that they are the team to beat in the Southwest conference football race this fall. The mighty Steers over whelmed the Oklahoma Sooners in their annual battle in Dallas, 20-0. It is going to take a team with an airtight pass defense to stop the Longhorns, as Bobby Layne is probably the finest passer in the Southwest this year.

S. M. U. took a sound drubbing from the mighty Randolph Field Ramblers, 41-0. This was expected and the Mustangs put up a good fight before the star-studded Fly ers. The Norman Zoomers zoomed right through Arkansas, 27-7. The Navy boys have several fine play ers and also hold a victory over the University of Oklahoma. The Rice Owls took a beating at the hands of the Tulane Greenies. The Green Wave just had too much for the Owls, roundly outplaying them in all departments. All games went about as were predicted last week, no major up sets occurring. The only game this writer missed was the Texas-O.U. game, in which I picked the Soon ers in an upset.
