Until (fateful i Saturday after noon, it had beien 728 long days since TCU had emerged victorious in a home football game, and it was on a similar; corps trip against a similar group of Aggies that the Frogs held them scoreless while they tallied four TD’s for a 26-0 outcome. And it was on the aforemention-' ed fateful Saturday afternoon that TCU Coach “Dutch Meyer sent 38 of his stalwarts, 29 of which were lettermen of on6 to three years, to overpower and Outplay a like num ber of Ag Coach Harry Stlteler’s sophomorish gridiron standouts. Experience was the tell-tale fac tor in every angle of Saturday’s game as the much-played mem bers of the Frog aggregation seized every opportunity to display the power running, brilliant pass ing, and pace-setting sprints even Nostradamus epuld not have fore seen..
