Bud Me Fad den, the highly publicized Iran High School star, and Ransom Jaickson, Austin High’s All-state Steers, Thursday’s Game 53rd Renewal Of Ancient Classic . Ii;- The Southwest’s most classic grid rivalry has its annual newal Thanksgiving Day wijth more at stake than the usual tria- dition. T j ■ ' ft’s the 53rd game in 54 years for the University of Texas and Texas A&M Thursday afternoon on the Kyle Field. The habitual- sell out crowd will be on hand to see the Aggies’ effort to Stop Texas short of what may be one of the greatest football seiaaons. . Texas, with eight wins, and a single-point loss and with a scor ing total of 233 points against 54, must hurdle a determined group of Aggies and the ancient Kyle Field jinx to keep alive (1) its championship hopes should SMU stumble and (2)! its candidacy for a post season game. On Kyle Field, Texas had never won until the great '41 pack of Longhorns burst the bonds of tra dition with a 23-0 triumph.! Apd since that day, the Steers hajve wound off consefcutive win^. With the upset of 1940 in Austin, when Kimbrough and Company fell to Texas, 0-7, Texas has a stjring ,bf seven straight.
