Aggies Finally Come To Life; Slaughter Mustangs 39-6
Cadet Backs Hold Ball As Entire
Team Turns In Good Performance
With their offense clicking to*
perfection, the Texas Aggies
slaughtered the Mustangs from
S.M.U. Satuday in the woi’st de
feat handed the Methodists by a
Cadet team in 26 years. After a
scoreless first quarter, the Norton-
men went over for three touch
downs in the second period, added
one more in the third, and finished
off with two more in the fourth.
After a fumble had cost them a
score in the opening period, the
Aggies struck quickly in the second
quarter to take the lead. After he
had completed two passed to Cot
ton Howell and advanced the ball
to the Mustang’s 23, Jim Cushion
took out around right end, cut back,
and went over the goal standing up.
Art Abraham converted. A few
minutes later, Cushion shot another
pass to Howell over the goal for
, the second Aggie score.
The next time A.&M. had pos
session of the ball, they scored
when Cushion lateraled to Goff
who went the final 48 yards to
pay dirt. Abraham again convert
ed.
In the third quarter the Aggies
added six points to their total
when Cushion handed the ball to
Goff who raced 57 yards for the
marker. The play followed a Mus
tang punt.
Two quick touchdowns in the
fourth quarter ended the Cadets
scoring for the afternoon. Tom
Daniel passed to Scott for the
first one, the play being good for
40 yards. S.M.U. received the kick
off and on the second play, a quick
kick was blocked and Grant Dar
nell picked up the ball and raced
35 yards to pay dirt. George Mc
Allister converted.
The Ponies scored their lone
touchdown late in the final stages
of the game, Ivan Cunningham
driving over from the one foot line
for the touchdown. Powers missed
the attempted conversion.

Aggies Wake Up . . .
This writer has been saying for
a long time that when the Aggies
finally settled down and played
football they were going to be
hard to beat. Saturday the Cadets
exhibited the brand of ball they
should have been showing all sea
son as they overwhelmed the Mus
tangs. The Cadet backs must have
had glue on their hands for the
usual fumbles were absent, and
that in a large part accounts for
the one-sided score.
The Aggies were not to be de
nied in Saturday’s tilt, and even
the 145 yards A. & M. received in
penalties failed to slow them down.
After piling up their huge lead,
the Cadets punted on first down
during the final period of the
game.

Southwest Scramble
Arkansas really threw the South-
Avest Conference grid race into a
scramble Saturday when they-
handed the Rice Owls a 12-7 set
back. The Owls were previously
favored to cop the crown, but
their present outlook is none too
bright.
As the conference stands now,
T.C.U. is leading the field with one
win and one tie, Texas and Rice
are tied for second with two wins
and one loss each, Arkansas is
third with two wins, one loss, and
one tie, A. & M. is next _with one
win and two losses, while S.M.U.
is in the cellar with no wins and
three losses. The Owls and Long
horns each must face the Aggies,
and if the Cadets play the football

Jim Parmer, starting his first
game after being out during the
juries, showed promise of becom
ing a great fullback as he smashed
through the Mustang line time
after time.
The line was up to its usual
standard, allowing the Mustangs
to score only after several penal
ties had put the ball deep in Ag
gie territory.
If the Aggies have really cured
their case of fumbleitis and can
hold on to the ball for the rest of
the year, they are going to be hard
to beat. Coach Norton has the ma
terial to win from both Rice and
Texas, and if the boys make up
their minds to win, win they will.
should win the remainder of their
games. T.C.U. still has Texas and
Rice to play and from all reports
the Frogs were wrecked by Navy
transfers.
The Razorbacks have only the
lowly Mustangs to face before com
pleting their conference schedule,
and should win from the Ponies.
If the Hogs do win from S.M.U.,
they will finish with three wins,
one loss, and one tie.
It all boils down to the fact that
the outcome of the race depends
upon the Aggies. They s§em to
have the best chance to beat the
Owls and Longhorns, and if they
do, Arkansas will probably win the
crown. If Rice or Texas should
beat A. & M., then they would
hold the inside track.

four days in an artillery obser
vation post constantly under Jap
artillery and mortar fire.
His narrowest escape occurred
when a Jap shell split the ground
m front of an adjacent foxhole,
throwing shell plinters into Colonel
Vaden’s shelter.
Vaden, whose parents, Mr. and
Mrs. F. S. Vaden, live at 210 Ridge-
mont Ave., San Antonio, was in the
oil and gas business in San An
tonio when he was called to active
duty with the Army in November
1940.
He attended the Battery Offi
cers’ Course at the Field Artillery
School, Fort Sill, Okla., for three
months and then reported to Camp
Roberts, Calif.
The colonel was the thirteenth
officer to report to Camp Roberts
and the camp was then still in
process of construction. He assist
ed in the building of the camp and
received the first trainees to be
sent there.
Later Vaden was ordered back
to Fort Sill as an instructor in
the tactics department. He then
seiwed with the 85th Division Ar
tillery at Camp Shelby, Miss, and
as an umpire for the Third Army
maneuvers in Louisiana in the
spring of 1943.
Grdered overseas from Camp
Swift, Texas, he arrived in China
in September, 1943, after a short
period in India.
He was assigned to Y-Force, the
American liaison organization
which trained and supplied the
Chinese Expeditionary Force for
the Salween Campaign and for
several months instructed Chinese
officers and non-commissioned of
ficers in American artillery meth
ods at a Y-Force Field Artillery
Training Center.

Captain Stephen A. Debnam, a

region.
When this officer took over his
duties in the field, harvesting was I haps the toughest football league
Saturday classes were being made
up at that time, intramural games
were postponed.
A summary of this seasons play
is as' follows. In football F bat
tery has been outstanding. They
have won all their games thus far,
and need but one more victory to
win their league championship.
They have turned back E troop by
13-0, G company 14-7, and they
defeated F company.
G battery is the sole occupant
of first place in league B. They
have wop thir first two games.
Zivney and Ellis have sparked the
batterymen to these victories. The
G battery, C Company game was
a spectacular one, the batterymen
winning - in the last thirty seconds
of play.
C Battery is in the lead in per-
lagging, processing facilities were
almost at a standstill, and the
transportation and collection of in
herent food supplies were serious
ly confused. As a result of his ef
forts the French Government Offi
cials have been given much needed
assistaitce and some thousands of
tons of varied food supplies and
produce have been moved to Paris.

A great deal of interest has
been centered around this years in
tramural basketball race. Two of
the best basketball teams are
found in league A. E company and
B Battery are undefeated thus
far, and when these two teams
meet, the winner will probably go
on to win the league championship.
Johnny Young spaiks E company,
and Dick Goad stands out for the
batterymen.
Three undefeated teams remain
in league B. They are F Battery,
B Company, and D Company, with
B Company given a slight 1 edge
over the others. They are given
a higher rating because of two
good shots on the team. The spark
plug of the team is Milton Cher-
no, who leads all three leagues in
scoring with 18 points.
E Troop and A Company are all
tied up for first place in C lea
gue. However, E Troop has but two
remaining games on their schedule,
while A Company must play three
more games. E Troop is given a
slight edge in this league.
