With a slow start, which show ed the first period scoreless, the Tigers hit their stride and at the half were leading 12-0. This mar gin of difference was through the efforts of Bill Eckles, ace back, and the two wingmen, Bob Potter and Edsel Jones. Each received a pass from Eckles and galloped over for a tally in the second quarter. Poter’s gallop was a pretty sprint through the Eagle second ary, while the combination, Eckles to Jones, resulted in a tally which was good for 7 yards and saw the latter make a beautiful catch of the aerial. After being rejuvenated at the half, the Tigers came back with a terrific barrage of plays, with Eckles scoring two quick T.D.’s, from the 2-yard line and the 9- yard marker. In the fourth and final quarter, with the Tiger line opening gaping holes in the forward wall, Eckles again broke into the scoring col umn with a 29-yard run in which not an Eagle defensive man layed a hand on him. Jones made the try for extra point good this time and the scoreboard read, Home 0, It’s Corps Trip time at Aggieland, Old Army! You have been given permission to leave after your last class Friday in order to be in Fort Worth Saturday when we tramp those Toads, so get that old thumb in the breeze and get there!! Your team needs your backing and they know that you aren’t going to let them down. Let’s go, Army, see you in Fort Worth!!! CABINET MEETING The senior Y.M.C.A.

M. L. CASHION Visitors 31. With minutes left to go, the versatile Eckles again let loose with an aerial which found Jones in the open waiting on the Eagle 35. With #beautiful down field blocking, Jones worked his way to the double line and crossed it standing up. It is difficult to pick out the outstanding defensive man, as the whole A&M team played magnifi cent ball, but the nod goes to R. L. Hunt, ace right tackle. About 40 per cent of the known supply of lead is in the United States.

Whether that’s a good one or not matters little, as it is being laid on the line this week in what is one of the most hectic schedules to be seen this year to pick. A. & M. over T.C.U.—Although the Aggies dropped a game last week to the L.S.U. Tigers, they still have plenty on the ball and should go against the Froggies. T.C.U. can boast a good pass game as usual, and has power on the ground, but with Moncrief and Dickey back in the line-up and in good shape, the Aggie defense will be hard to crack. The score? Say about Aggies 20, Frogs 7. Texas over Arkansas—This is one game that could easily make suckers out of the “smart guys”. Arkansas has a fine ball club and boasts some good backs; on the other hand, Texas has a line that any team will have a hard time breaking, also some mighty fine backs of their own. Make it Texas 14, Arkansas 6. S.M.U. over Rice—The Owls reach ed their peak last week against the Tulane Greenies. They played some fine ball, but it was just their day to spree. The game was an upset in everyone’s books and doesn’t indicate that Rice has an improved club. S.M.U. showed strength in holding the Oklahoma Aggies last week, and even though they lost, the Ponies let Oklahoma know that there was a ball game being play ed. S.M.U. should take this one by say 13 to 0. Baylor over Texas Tech—The Bears seem to know what it’s all about at last, and they get the nod from here. The game will be a close one, but Baylor should come out on top. This column’s guess is Baylor 19, Tech 7. It seems as though the pretty girls follow gridiron greats, and the greats from A. & M. are no excep tion when it comes to that depart ment. Only this week, last Wednes day to be specific, one of our boys on the Aggie squad got a letter from what sounds like a very cute little trick down in Houston. For security reasons this handsome lad’s name will be withheld and he will be referred to as Mr. Wingman. Here in part is the letter the coun- try-boy-who-made-good received: Dear Mr. Wingman, I’ve heard so much about you and then seeing your picture in the paper this morning brought out all the eagerness in me. I’ve want ed for a long time to meet you, but have never had the pleasure or the chance—If you want to know any thing about me, which I hope you do, I’m five feet, one inch tall, weigh 109 pounds, have blue eyes, dark blonde hair, and am in love with life. . . . ’ The moral to this story is to play football if you are big enough to tie your own shoelaces. These football players seem to have some thing on the ball that few others have. If you are wondering what it is, just see the receiver of the above letter. (He still refuses to allow his name to be printed in connection with this romantic oc- curance).

Led by Jim Cason, Red Knight, Bob Sandifer, and Bill Tittle, the Tigers ran the. Aggies to death. Cason and Sandifer reeled off one long gain after the other, and Tit tle’s passes were where Aggie de fenders weren’t. Running off the T, the LSU offense was worked to perfection, and many times no one but the ball carrier knew who had the ball. In the first quarter, the Ag gies clicked for gain after gain, and the LSU line was torn to bits by Goode, Smith, and Butchofsky. The ball was brought by them down to the Tiger 4 yard line, but went over there on downs. Not to be out done yet, Darnell blocked an LSU quick kick on the first play on the second quarter, Higgins recov ering for the Aggies on the LSU 33. In just seven plays, Big Bob Goode went over left guard for the initial score of the game. Hig gins missed the try for the extra point, and the score was Aggies 6, LSU 0. Then the Tigers took the return ing kick off, and brought it from there back to their own 38. From there, and without losing posses sion of the ball, the Tigers scored on the eighth play from scrim mage. Kingery kicked good, and the Tigers went ahead 7 to 6. As far as the Aggies were con cerned, that was the end of the ball game, for only two minutes later LSU scored on a quarterback sneak that netted 40 yards and the tally. A&M’s other touchdown came late in the third quarter when Dan Foldberg intercepted Tittle’s pass and returned it 46 yards to pay dirt. This time Ballentine attempt ed the conversion from placement and his kick went wide of the up rights. Being roundly outplayed, the Aggies played good football only in spots. Bob Goode personally prevented two more Tiger tallies by being the only Aggie tackier between the runner and the goal line. Darnell and Winkler worked hard in the line, and turned in some defensive play. AN IMPORTANT WEEKEND You will want to look your best on the Corps Trip.
