In 1912, his Aggies rolled iip 193 points before the opposition scored a point. > Moran began his coaching ca reer at Dallas when he took over the professional football team in that city in 1902. He came to A&M in 1909 as head coach. During his first season at A&M,* Ris Aggies played Texas twice, winning the first game, 23-0 and the second one, 5-0. His teams' won three and lost one against Texas. Even thb great Knute Rockhe never used half-time dressing room oratory which proved more effec tive than that used by “Uncle I Charley" Moran. In 1914 when the Aggies met LSI? in an intersecti onal game at Dallas, LSI! led at | halftime, pU). Moran gave the Ag gies a prefty good going over at half-time, The final spore was Tex as A&M OH, LSIM», Seine sources jin College Station believe that it was Moian who started iluj ground-work for what lx now Kjyle Field. Hack when Moran wljx copt'ltlng at Texas A&M, the Aggie* played on a vacant lot where I’nryear Hall now stands, The re were no seats- pen- pie Just fail up ahii down^the side lines, Sometime Between 1909 uigi 1911, Moran, with the help of students, built a small xeetion of wooded bleacher seats where Kyle Field now stands. There , Was room; for perhaps 250 peo ple to sit down and view the game. That has grown into what is now Kyle Field. Moran itever lost his love for Tejxas A&M. In dn interview with a southern! sports writer last Dec- ehlber, Moran Was quoted as say ing; “I’ve always had a soft spot schedule has not been drawn up in my heaift for the Texas Aggies. yet, but in the near future the Tigers expect to have 3 to 4 games a week. A meeting of all girls inter ested in playing vollyball or softball should contact Luke Harrison in the Student Activ ities Office. The phone number ia 4-5324. Also, there vvill be a meeting of all College View girls, inter ested in playing softball or vol lyball, on the softball diamond behind A Row in College View on Monday, June 20 at 5:00 p.m.« Only a copple of weeks ago'you will recall the Aggies surprised everybody by tying Texas, 14-14. I wrote a letter to their new' coach (Harry Stitler). I just wanted to congratulate him.” Coach $titeler cherishes the let ter more than ever now that “Un cle Charley” has passed on, Moran retired in 1939 as umpire of the National Baseball League in which, he had made decisions for a number of years after giving up the coaching business. ★ We hear that Kennith Schobe jwas the Only prospective gridman to leave school at the end of this last semester due to grade trou bles. This does npt come as a surprise to many people' because he had been having trouble with his grades most of last semester. ^ Bud Wilkinspn, the young Ok lahoma University mentor, was a visitor to the A&M campus yes terday. He stopped for a talk with A&M’s Athletic Director, Bill Car michael, about the present Okla- home-A&M football series and a possible continuation when the contract expires after three more seasons. ★ . According to Bill Van Fleet of the Fort Worth/star Telegram, an announcement/can be expected any day nbW'uiat Darrow Hooper, the North Side High graduate of that city, has picked A&M as the school of his choice.
