No Additional Injuries at L S. U.
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.

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.

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

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.

the difference between victory and
defeat.
S. M. U. took a sound drubbing

The Norman Zoomers zoomed

the University of Oklahoma.
The Rice Owls took a beating at
the hands of the Tulane Greenies.
The Green Wave just had too much

them in all departments.
All games went about as were
