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
