BY FRED BUXTON i ll Seven thousand rabid fans saw two good freshman teams battle on the turf at Kyle Field last night and the final gun found the Spectators on their feet cheering a terrific game. The TCU Wogs by virtue of three conversions out-played the Fish team, 21-19. Yet in the iclosinj; moments it appeared that the Ags would overtake them. The photo finish had the crowd on 1^) feet, and there was not a calm specta tor in the vicinity at the ettd. TCU Bogs Down j A&M kicked to TCU in the south end of the field to open the game.* TCU tried several runs and a pass, but had to kick. A&M began to move with Menger the man under and Hooper and Haair carrying the ball from the halfback slots. After their bttack stalled and thwy kipked, the Fish held the Wogs. A fourth down kick by TCU was run back to the Wog 48 by DeVeny. Again Hooper and Haas turned ip fine runs and six plays later the Fish had the ball on the Wogs’ nine-yard line. Menger fum bled on the next play and TCU recovered on the ,13. For the remainder of the first quarter, neither team could seem to roll and the game see-sawed back and forth. Near the end of the first quarter TCU'was awarded the ball on the Ag 10 following a pass interference ruling. Six plays lateP Fowler plowed over for thfe firs: for point wap good 7-0. score. Thp tr; and TCU Fish Threatens Following thie kick off the Fist seemed to find a spark and: rollejl down the field.
