In 1939, the Aggies had finished the season un defeated and untied with a beautiful 21-0 victory aver the Longhorns at College Sta tion. What a wonder- ful feeling that must have been! Not on ly had they been named the best football team in the na tion and finished the season with a record of ten wins, no losses and no tiee but also they had beaten tho orange and white on Turkey Dnar. Then came the famine, and what a famine! 1 It has lasted for sev en long years and who knows when it will ever end. In November, 1940, It wa*. that the black cloud of famine came ir Aggieland and to thin day that cloud has yet to move. This is how’It came about Tho Aggies were oa their way to an other undefeated and untied i eon, and all that remained waa to beat a mediocre Texas University team in Memorial Stadium. The didn’t aound like too big an under taking for John Kimbrough aad Company, but it waa. The Ma roon and White went down in de feat 7-0, after playing one of their greatest games. Since that gloomy November day in ’40, very few faithful Aggies have been able to hold their heads up without feeling as though some thing is ladling—and rightfully ao because something b Lacking — Longhorn blood on the gridiron! Everyone thought that ’41 would be the year for revenge; then came that horrible nightmare on Kyle Field when Crain, Layden, and Company walked over the Aggies to the tune of 23-0. This marked the first time that the Longhorns had beaten the Aggies on Kyb Field. ^ Bat this wasn't the ewo, not by any means, as a matter of fact R was only the beginning. It hap pened again in ’42, ’43, ’44, ’46, and again last year aa the famine con tinued at its peak with the Aggies bowing to the Longhorns in Me morial Stadium 24-7. “How long can It last?" b the cry that we hear this summer at Aggieland as the '47 football son draws near. Can tkb be tbs year to end this Jinx? MW tUM 974171 Good Myfcf pro<*tnongl (ob« era wbHM 4or qualified men and women In RADIO, Ut M Fufty approved fur G. I.
