All entries must be in the BATTALION Office or postmark- ed before five o’clock Friday afternoon, and each contestant must pick the winners for each of the remaining week-ends before the Texas game. Name a , Ticket Contest Still Wide Open The first week’s edition of the Batt arm-chair coaches contest wound up with onl yfour men picking all of the* winners, but this does not mean that one of these three will win, as the contest will run for three weeks, and the winner will be picked from the results of all three of the weeks. Therefore, if you do not do so well this week do nt becme discouraged, as there are two more weeks, and your percentage might pck up I durng the next two weeks of play. The contest is open to all stu dents of A&M except members of | the BATTALION staff, but each contestant must enter all three weeks to be eligible for the prize. To be eligible to win a student must enter the contest each week and his entry must be either in the Batt office or post-marked before five-o’clock Friday afternoon. The winner will be picked on the basis of the numbers of win ners he picks, and in case of a tie in this field the scores will enter into the judging. Aggie Bees Tie Cubs in Waco Fri. In their first night game of the season as well as their first out of town game the Aggie Bee team was held scoreless by an out classed Baylor Cub eleven that they had skunked 21 to 0 the week before. Played at the Mun icipal stadium in Waco the final score was A&M 0, Baylor 0. The game started off slow with neither team making even a vague threat the first break coming when Jim Boswell, taking a hand-off form Earl Beesley, netted 20 yards and a first down on the Cub 30. However the Cubs took over on downs and punted to safety. Later, with a series of plays that clicked off according to schedule the Cubs marched down the field to pick up 26 yards leaving the ball on the Aggie 35. There the attack bogged down and the Ags took over on fourth down. A quick kick by Beesley from the Cadet 11 placed the pigskin on the Baylor 42. The Baylorites took over there but due to several smashing drives by the Aggie line featuring Vernon Schmidt, 209 pound tackle form Troy, their net yardage gained had a minus in front of it.

When was the last lime yon changed yours? — Buryi Baty, Sophomore flash from Paris, passed the Farmers to a 17-0 win over Baylor, but was injured in the closing minutes of play and was not able to see much action against the Hogs. However, his shoulder has responded to treatment and he will be back in the lineup for next week’s game against the Ponies. Aggies and Ponies Resume 30 Year Grid Batde Saturday Saturday, the Aggies meet Sou thern Methodist for the 29th time in the 30 year history of gridiron warfare between the two colleges and if past records are to be taken as a guide comparative scores and previous performances will have little meaning with the outcome in doubt till the final gun. A glance at past scores between the two teams bears mute tetimony to the fact that the favored team has often walked aff the field second best. But, regardless of who won, the series has been char acterized by close scores, long, game-winning field goals, several interesting coincidences and one tragedy. It was in 1916, two years after SMU first officially opened its doors that Mustangs sent out a team against A&M. The Ags sent ’em back, licking the wounds of a 63-0 walloping. The two schools did not meet again until 1919 when the Aggies bagged a 16-0 victory which help ed them along to their second Southwest Conference Champion ship. A thirty yard field goal by “Bugs” Morris gave A & M a 3-0 victory in 1920 and the Aggies toppled the Mustangs again in the following year, 13-0. The Ponies took their first game of the series in 1922, winning 17-6 and repeated, 10-0 in 1923 on Kyle Field, as SMU annexed its first Southwest Conference Title. Playing on that championship Mustang team was Howard Payne, Sr., father of SMU’s Freshman passing whiz, Howard Jr., whom the Aggies run into Saturday. The 1924 game ended in a 7-7 tie while in ’25, the Maroon swept to a 7-0 victory which helped them along to another Conference crown. The ’26 game, played in Dallas, was a heartbreaker for the Aggies as a badly mauled and thoroughly out-played SMU team sneaked in with a 9-7 upset. The Aggie players made a post-game vow to reap revenge the following year, and reap they did as the ’27 team plowed the Mustangs under 39-13. The 1928 game was a 19-19 thriller and marked the end, tem porarily of A & M’s long domin ance over the Blue and Red. The Mustangs inaugurated a long series of triumphs over the Aggies by taking the ’29 game, 12-7 and repeating 13-7 in 1930 and 8-0 in 1931. The Ponies were temporarily slowed when the Aggies fought to a 0-0 tie in 1932 but S.M.U. came back to take wins of 19-0, 28-0 and 24-0 in the next three years. The 1935 victory of 24-0 was made by what was perhaps S.M.U.’s greatest team, sparked by All- American Bobby Wilson who car ried the Mustangs to a Southwest Conference championship and a Rose Bowl bid. The long drouth of Farmer wins was broken in 1936 when A&M won 22-6. They repeated in ’37 by a 14-0 score. A forty-yard field goal by a sub tackle gave SMU a hard-fought 10-7 win in 1938 but the Aggies gained revenge in ’39 when John Kimbrough and Co. sloshed to a 6-2 win in ankle-deep mud on Kyle Field.

PHONE 2-1311 K V ■ V T * THE SIGN OF BETTER SERVICi wm Razorbacks Hand Aggies First Conference Defeat Passing Attack Weak Near Pay Dirt Taps blew on Kyle Field for the first time of the season last Sat urday afternoon as the Ags bowed to a weak Arkansas eleven 7-0. Instead of showing the improve ment that has been displaced in , the few days previous, A&M slip ped back down the ladder a few notches due to the large number of injuries the team suffered the week before in the tilt with the Bears. The start of the game looked like a repeat of last week’s per formance as A&M took the ball after Arkansas kicked on second down and Welch returned it to the Ag 28. Welch then skirted end for a 22 yard run placing the ball squarely on the 50. The Farmers then combined short passes and a strong running attack to carry the ball down to the Arkansas 11 yard line. A fifteen yard pen alty and the loss of a down for intentional grounding of the ball cost the Aggies the ground they had gained and the ball went over on downs. That one drive ended the excitement for the first guar- ter and the remainder of the first half was played between the thirty yard lines. The only score of the game came with only three minutes of the third quarter gone when Mann Scott fumbled on the Ag forty and the Hogs recovered. Holland then tossed to Scott to the Ag 29 for a net gain of 11 yards and a first down. Holland then tossed another intended for Smith, but it went incomplete. On the next play Scott faded to pass, but could not find a receiver so he carried the ball through the center of the line to the A&M four yard line. Campbell then came into the game and carried over for the touchdown and Hol land kicked the extra point from placement making the score 7-0, and that is the way the score stood at the end of the game. The Aggies tried all afternoon to get their passing attact to work, but no one could connect, and all in all the passing looked very ragged throughout the after noon. They tried 36 passes, and completed 9, for a total of 110 yards forward. Buryi Baty the star of the Ags passing attack last week saw little action in Saturday’s game due to an injury suffered in the Bear tussle, and none of the remaining passers could match his last week’s per formance. A&M also missed the running attack supplied by Willie J5apalac. Although Zapalac was in the game in spite of his broken hand, he did not carry the ball, but he did intercept one Hog pass. The Aggies made a very weak showing this week as they could get neither their running nor their passing attack to work when they were in sight of the Razorback goal line. The Farmers were far ahead in the statistics, but they did not have that final push to go to pay dirt.
