Duster Is Result Of
Hojie-Crosby Attempt
Snyder, Tey., June 24—(A*)—
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are
better. comedians than they are
oil men. ’
Their first well, la wildcat test
ih central Scurry county, w’as des\
cribed today as a “duster.” Among
other things, that means not com
mercially profitable.
: Crosby and Hopei were co-part
ners with veteran oilman W. A.
Moricrlef in the wel, known as the
No. 1 Dewey Mpore. No indications
of oil were found after the well
was drilled to 7,978 feet. Prepara
tions were made tb plug and ab-
place in the center of Kyle Field
just before game time with the
best twirler from each band parti
cipating. Trophies will be award
ed to the best twirler and the run-
nerup, and the five best twirlers
will get tickets to future Aggie
games. ‘ .. ' ., ,/
! ★ (
A little looking into the past
shows that A&M has won 48 of
its opening football games and has
lost only four, with three ending in
ties. The most one-sided game in
the Aggies opening . day appear
ances was against Daniel Baker in
1920 when the Aggies won by a
score of 110-0. 4
