The Aggies will have a little
more competition this week-end
than they had with the Eagles last
Saturday as they are meeting a
team that is much larger than ours.
They do not have as many men to
work with as we have, but theirs
are just bigger to start with. The
Red Raiders are not rated as
highly as the Aggies but they will
still be able to give them a fight
for their money. The boys from
Aggieland should take this one,
but it will not be nearly so easy
as the last one. Plenty of Aggies
saw service in last week’s game
but very few of them saw much
ACTION as it was a little too easy
for the Aggie powerhouse.
Rice should not have too much
trouble with the Louisiana Tigers
this week but the boys from down
Houston way could get surprised
as the Tigers might show up with
more power at game time than the
dopesters give them credit for hav
ing.
The dopesters are giving Baylor
a win over Texas Christian this
Saturday but after the showing the
Horned Frogs made last week
against the strong Kansas eleven
I will have to stay with the Frogs.
This one can go either way as
Frank Kimbrough is supposed to
have a very strong team this year
but I believe the Frogs will take
the Bear by one TD.
The game this week for the
Longhorns should be just another
good workout. Although the Colo
rado boys are rated strong, I
don’t believe they can stop Bibles’
teams. Colorado might be able to
beat any one of the Texas teams
but they will not stand a chance
against all of them. The Longhorns
just have too much power to be
stopped by this team. It should be
a win for Texas going away by at
least three trips over the goal line.
Southern Methodist has the
hardest trip for the week as they
journey all the way to Philadelphia
to take on the boys from Temple.
The Mustangs will get more com
petition for their opening game
than any other conference team to
date but they will come out on top.
Not much is known about the Tem
ple Owls in this part of the coun
try but they won’t be able to stop
the Mustangs unless they are much
more powerful than all the sports
scribes give* them credit for being.
I’ll take SMU by about two TD’s.
All in all it looks like the
Southwest Conference will come
out on top this week with the ex
ception of Baylor, and they are
playing one of the fellow members
so at least one of the teams will
have to lose or tie anyway. Out
side of this game it looks like the
conference will have a rather easy
time of it for this week at least.

Norton Remodels
Team Temporarily
After Saturday’s game with
North Texas, Coach Norton re
vamped his team, picked 43 play
ers to work with him this week
and sent the others to work with
Charlie DeWare’s crew. “There
has been no separation of the “A”
and “B” squads as yet and this is
not the division. It is just to make
the team a little easier to work
with and so that each player can
get more personal attention,”
Coach Norton said Monday.
The men he is going to work
with this week include 7 ends, 7
tackles, 7 guards, 5 centers and 17
backfield men, and these include
Howell, Higgins, Shefts, Wright,
Yeargain, Prokop, and Hooker at
the ends, Moncrief, Dickey, Tulis,
Denton, Kadera, Hook and Stey-
man at tackle, Stautzenberger,
Winkler, Overly Powell, Sacra,

SAVE THE DAY?
Last season coach-of-the-year Bo Mc-
Millin led Indiana University to its first
big ten football championship. Though the
victim of a stunning upset in its first game
last Saturday will Indiana still be the top
team in the conference? Win or lose, Bo
won’t have to worry about his job. For, at
Indiana, he’s something more than a foot
ball coach—he’s an institution. Don’t miss
the fascinating story of this most colorful
coach in today’s Saturday Evening Post.

SEPTEMBER 2B,1»40
Rob Goode, two hundred and two pound Aggie halfback demon
strates his prowess as he heads into pay territory to pave the way
for the first touchdown of the game against NTSC after receiving
a pass from Hallmark.
A letterman with three years eligibility ahead of him, Goode
hails from Bastrop and, with his six foot, three and his two hundred
pounds plus, he may make a name for himself on the Aggie eleven.
Aggie’s Powerhouse Rolls
Right Along to SW Crown
Aggies Bury NTSC
With 47-0 Score
The Aggies romped to a 47-0
win over the North Texas Eagles
using a total of 61 Aggie play
ers to turn the trick. The stars
were all over the field Saturday,
as the Aggies all looked good, and
a few were great. Barney Welch
was the all day star of the game,
as he made three of the Farmer’s
touchdowns personally, and kept
the Eagles down in their own ter
ritory all afternoon with his edu
cated toe. Welch kicked for an
all day average of 43 yards, three
of which went out of bounds on
the three yard line.
The longest run of the day came
late in the third quarter when
Buryi Baty took Dinkle’s punt on
his own 20 and was trapped there.
He then lateralled to Mann Scott
back on the Aggie 15 who scam
pered 85 yards for a T. D. Marion
Flanagan and Leo Daniels also ran
punts back to pay territory mak
ing punting very unhealthy for the
Eagles.
Only once did the Eagles threat
en to score, and that was on a pass
from Hudgins to Fambrough which
put the ball on the Aggie seven
yard line, but then the Aggie for
ward wall held and the farmers
took over after fourth down on
the 20. <
Willie Zapalac made the old Ag
gies think of “Jarrin” John Kim
brough on several of his plays
Saturday when he would plow
through the line for four or five
yards each try. He would appear
stopped at the line of scrimmage
and then he would burst through
with Eagles hanging all over him.
His total yards gained for the day
was the second highest in the game
with an impressive 46 yards rush
ing.
Hollmig made tne final touch
down for the Aggies when he car
ried the ball over from the two
yard line after a 15 yard pen
alty against the Eagles for un
necessary roughness.
The statistics don’t give the Ag
gies nearly so great a margin as
the final score did as the Eagles
made 7 first downs to 10 for the
Aggies. The Aggie forward wall
held the Eagles to a net yardage
gained by rushing of minus 3 yards
but the nets for the total game
were 93 yards for the Aggies and
71 for the Eagles.

Tech May Prove
Tough Opponent
At 8:00 Saturday evening,
September 28, the Aggie football
eleven will face a real test and
their team work and individual
prowess will have the first trial.
The Red Raiders of Texas Tech
are not to be taken lightly as
they not only have a heavier team
than the Aggies but are rated
highly in the nation. According to
the Williamson Rating, Texas
Tech is number 24 which is twenty
teams below the Aggies but still
much higher than many other
teams in the nation.
Tech may not have the man
power to draw upon that the Ag
gies have but it may take a large
part of our team to hold them
down. Though there is little
doubt as to the outcome of the
match, Coach Dell Morgan’s Raid
ers may surprise everyone, includ
ing themselves and our line can
not be expected to hold them to
a minimum of yardage as they
did the North Texas Eagles.
