Aggies Fumble Razorbacks To 7-6 Victory
Cadet Backs Make
Seven Miscues In
Juggling Contest
■4 r
Breaking the string of Aggie
victories which had run for six
years, the Arkansas Razorbacks
took advantage of Aggie mistakes
Saturday to hand the Cadets their
second straight conference loss
7-6.
A. & M. again led in statistics,
gaining 260 yards to the Hogs 192
and making 12 first downs to the
Razorbacks six. The Aggies had
several chances to pull the game
out of the fire, but fumbles were
again the dominating factor in
their downfall.
The Cadets took the lead in the
first quarter when Mann Scott went
over from the one yard line after
Jimmy Cashion had passed to Cot
ton Howell for a first down on the
Arkansas five. Abe Abraham’s at

Arkansas cashed in on their only
real scoring chance of the after
noon in the third quarter. A pass
from Long to Baldwin was good
for 25 yards, after which Long
passed to Mike Schumchyk who
lateraled to Henry Ford for four
yards. On the next play, Long shot
a long pass to Schumchyk who
reached above the two Aggie de
fenders who were covering him
and took the ball in the end zone.
The educated left foot of Jim
Young, Hog tackle, sent the ball
straight through the uprights for
the extra point which proved to
be the margin of victory.

The Senior class in Veterinary
Medicine left Monday morning for
Houston to inspect ten carcasses
of beef which have reacted to the
test for tuberculosis. T. B. in cat
tle has been practically eliminated
in the United States due to the
ceaseless anti-tuberculosis cam

the Veterinary profession and the
various departments of the United
States government.
For this reason the trip to Hous
ton should be interesting as well
as educational,
T. B. reactors are now few and

rare as the years pass.

and guests of the Biology Club.
Four of the members were hypno

activities of hypnotized students
held th eaudience attention until
the meeting was about to adjourn.
Dr. W. A. Varvel, Assistant Pro
fessor of Psychology, then address
ed the meeting for the few re

explanation of hypnotism and dis
cussed the various types of hyp

Dr. Varvel and Crawford were

following season.
The next meeting of the club

Milton Cherno has proved him
self to be the outstanding basket
ball player thus far. He leads all
three leagues, with 18 points. How
ever he is closely followed by John-
ny Young with 17 points. Both have
played in two games.
According to my tabulations, A
battery has the cleanest team on
the courts. They have but seven
fouls marked against them in two
games, while Hart Hall went to
the other extreme in having nine
fouls called against them in their
lone encounter.
The highest scoring game was
the Hart Hall-F Battery encounter,
ending in the batterymen’s favor,
22-13. The lowest scoring game
was the E troopers-Bandsmen en

Mustangs Hope to
Break Aggie Jinx
In Saturday’s Game
Two of the most colorful grid
iron machines in the Southwest
Conference have been the Texas
Aggies and the Mustangs of
Southern Methodist University,
which tangle for the 27th time at
Ownby Stadium in Dallas Satur
day with the kickoff at 2:30 p.m.
The Aggies were one of the
charter members of the Southwest
Conference when it was formed in
1915, and the Ponies gained ad
mission two years later. After a
disasterous season in 1916, SMU
has gone on to win four Confer
ence championships and finish in a
tie with the Aggies for the title
in 1940. The Aggies hold the rec
ord with seven championships and
this co-championship.
The Mustangs are the only Tex
as team to play in the Rose Bowl,
Jan. 1, 1936, while the Aggies
have performed in the Sugar
Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the
Cotton Bowl twice.
The all-time Aggie-SMU record
shows 13 victories for the Maroon
and White teams, to 10 wins for
the Ponies, with three games end
ing in a tie.
Saturday, the Mustangs will be
out to break the chain of Aggie
victories, which stands at five
straights, from 1939, through 1943.
In the past, each Aggie and SMU
team that had a clear title as Con
ference champion defeated the oth
er eleven. In 1940, when the two
were Conference co-champions, the
Aggies were the victor by a score
of 19-7.

Aggies Give Away Another Game
Some day the Aggies are going
to settle down and play the brand
of football they are capable of
playing, and when they do their
opponents had better watch out.
The Cadets have lost their only
two conference starts by playing
a sloppy brand of football in both
games. Even though they outplayed
their opponents in practically
every department, that extra
something which makes a winning
team was absent. Fumbles and
more fumbles have been the main
cause of the Aggie downfall. Nine
fumbles in the T.C.U. game and
seven in the Arkansas tilt paved
the way for these losses.
Coach Norton has the six backs
who fumbled Saturday carrying
footballs with them everywhere
they go this week. These gridders
must eat, sleep, and go to classes
with the pigskin tucked under their
arm. Bob Butchofsky, Paul Yates,
Jimmy Cashion, Bobby Goff, Mann
Scott, and Gene Spires are the
backs who will be carrying the
leather all week.
Saturday’s game was just about
Saturday’s Results
In this season where upsets are
a dime a dozen the Southwest Con
ference came in for its share Sat
urday. Perhaps Texas Tech’s win
over Rice was the number one up
set, but the Hogs’ victory over A.
& M. wasn’t far behind. The Long
horns’ rout of S.M.U. was hardly
expected, although the Steers were
favored to win. Only T.C.U. and
Randolph Field came through as
expected.
Texas Tech’s oft-beaten Red
Raiders pulled the surprise of the
day when they won from the highly
favored Owls. The Owls were ex
pected to have a letdown after |
a carbon copy of the T.C.U. game
which saw the Aggies throw away
their scoring chances. Every time
A. & M. came close to scoring a
miscue would blot out the chance.
The Aggie line turned in its
usual brilliant game allowing the
Arkansas backs to net only 14
yards rushing all afternoon. The
Razorbacks were never able to get
anywhere through the big for
wards, and were forced to take to
the air to gain their victory.
“Stubby” Matthews probably
turned in the best game of any
Aggie on the field. He made sev
eral nice gains while carrying the
ball and played a jam-up defensive
game which included three pass in
terceptions.
Although they are now out of
the running for the conference
title, the Aggies can have a big
hand in the final standings. Rice
and Texas, the two teams favored
for the crown, still must face the
Cadets. If Coach Norton can devise
a method whereby the backs can
keep the ball, the Mustangs, Owls
and Steers had better be careful.
their win from Texas last Satur
day, but they were still due to
come out on top.
After trailing the Mustangs 7-0
at the end of the first quarter,
Coach Dana Bible’s Longhorns ran
wild to smother the Ponies 34-7.
The Steers were trying to make
amends for their defeat at Rice
last week.
Randolph Field came through as
expected, using their second and
third strings to slaughter hapless
N.T.A.C. 68-0. T.C.U. journeyed
over to the state of Georgia to
hand the Chatham Field Flyers a
19-7 defeat.
