First Track Meet
In Norman Oct. 7
With the first cross county meet
scheduled for Oct. 7th at Norman,
Okla. Head Track Coach F. G. An
derson and his assistant, Ray Put
nam, are running their thinly clads
through the daily routine paces in
preparation for the five scheduled
meets and the Southwest Confer
ence meet at Rice Institute in Nov
ember.
In the past years North Texas
State College, University of Texas,
and University of Oklahoma have
been the strongest contenders with
Arkansas University and the other
Conference schools trailing.
The team includes such men as:
Webster Stone, the first man to
come in for the Aggies in last
years’ conference meet, John D.
Hampton, champion in 1944; and
William Terrell, 1944 champion in
the two mile. Other men with po
tentialities are: John Cheatam,
John Hargis, Nathan Byrd, “DD”
Williamson, letter man in the
half mile last spring; Charles
H o h n, William Garney, Delbert
Shultz, Robert Allen, George Jenk
ins, and Jerry Bonnen.
Coach Anderson says that A.
& M. should have one of the best
teams in years and make a strong
bid for the conference champion
ship.

Dee Walker
Ass’t. Coach NTSC
Champs Will Have to Be Tough
The opening game Saturday is
the curtain raiser on what appears
to be one of the greatest football
years in the history of the confer
ence, and the winner this year will
be a real CHAMPION. From all
pre-season dope available it ap
pears that NO team will come
through with an untarnished rec
ord, but the champs should still
rate a position among the first ten
teams in the nation.
At present all the sports writers
in the state have put the finger
on Dana X. Bible to bring in
another championship cup, but to
do this he has to eliminate the
other six teams in the conference,
and there will be no “soft-touches”
this year as there have been dur
ing the war.
Only One Light Game On Schedule
Odus Mitchell
Head Coach NTSC
Starting Line-ups
The game this week is the only
light one of the year, and Coach
Norton is planning to use the
maximum of players Saturday aft
ernoon in the skirmish with the
Eagles. After this one Saturday
the Farmers are going to have
some hard plowing throuhout
the remainder of the season, and
and some of the plowing may be
in hard ground. In fact it will be I
some of the hardest ground in Ml
Texas. This one Saturday should |
be a soft touch, but this is the last'
one on the schedule as the con
ference schools are stronger this (1
year than at any previous time. So I
come on Aggies, let’s start out on lj|
this one and make it good.

All the conference teams but
Rice and SMU open their schedule
Saturday afternoon with non-con
ference teams and all of these
schools with the exception of
T.C.U. should bring home a win
ner. T. C. U. could beat Kansas
at that.
With my eyes on the crystal
ball, and my brain on a vacation
I may have to take: the Aggies
over NTSC by five touchdowns,
Arkansas over Northwest Louis
iana by two TD’s, Baylor to bury
Southwest Texas t>y at least three
touchdowns, Texas to have a little
trouble with Missouri but should
take them. That will be a close
one and it could very easily be a j|
victory for Missouri. Kansas willJ
have trouble cornering the Horned-
Frogs, but will emerge victorious
by one touchdown, and Texas Tech
will best West Texas State by 3
touchdowns.
A-Squad Has Field
Day In Scrimmage
The Aggie “A” squad, anxious
to redeem itself after the shellack
ing handed it last Saturday by it’s
“little brothers”, displayed a start
ling comeback in the second scrim
mage game on Saturday, Septem
ber 14.
With a powerhouse that would
n’t quit, the “big boys” piled up
yardage and scored almost at will
against their “little brothers” who
weren’t given a chance to score as
the coach kept them on the defens
ive throughout the afternoon.
However, they were shown that
they couldn’t hold the first string
ers as they did in the game on the
previous week.
Sparked by Zapalac, Moncrief,
Dickey, Goode and others, the “big
boys” didn’t give Charlie DeWare’s
boys a chance to regain their
breath in between rushes.
At present, there is still some
question as to whether Daniels or
Hallmark will be in Quarterback
position for the opening line-up.
Also, there is a possibility that
either Mercer or Dick Wright will
replace Knight as center.

Due to the fact that the Corps

will be roped off for them. Their
section will run north from the
fifty yard to about the goal line,
and will extend upward to include
about the lower half of the sec

This arrangement was suggest
ed to give both the veterans and
