Before an estimated 30,000 sun
suffering fans, the Horned Fro;
of TCU displayed a brand of “
er-their-head". ball that left even
fabulous Lindy Berry a little be
wildered and perplexed as the Frog
captain led his trstwhile subordi
nates to it; 28-6 victory over a nev-
er-say-die Aggie eleven.
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..

fullback John Morton, who ton
off great chunks of yardage as h<
thundered the bulk of his 22(
pounds again and again through i
not-so-heSvy Aggie line.
It was this same monstrosity o ’
backfield potentiality who was Uv •
first to enjoy the benefits of reach ■
ing paydirt. After only fdur and 11
half minutes had elapsed in the In
itial period Morton plunged oye*
from the one yard line toj setjthe

the camera picks up.
The image is picked up form a

mass of wires and vacuum: tubes.
From this scramble of electrical
Wiring it goes into a large cable
to the receiver where the (picture

This machine is one of the

Along with these home sets the
department bought u large projec
