. “The Aggi
troubles this fall... There is no quick way to rebuild
ball team whose player material had run as short as
A&M.” Whom are we quoting? None other than Chari
ton, one of The Dallas Morning News’ two columnist
Burton’s daily column, “The Inside Story,” has dutiedj
many references to the Aggies this fall. Some, particularly
after the Oklahoma game, were quite flattering to a losing
eleven; others, like the quote above stated frankly thC Ca
dets weaknesses as seeti! through the eyes of the News sports-
writers. ' • • : j j ' j .j M • j 111
We are riot seeking to embroif ourselves in a feud with
Burton, a la Simmen-Ratliff, but we do wonder of the Ag
gies have fooled us or whether Burton is off base.
Optimistically, we felt prior to the opening of tje sea
son that the Cadets would show marked improvement! as the
campaign progressed. Well, they have shown some i of? tihis
desired improvement the p&st two weeks, but few o: usl a$
spectators have been able to judge the attitude of the in
dividual athletes. ! ! I
, We do think though, that some of the Farmers have
failed to perform as well as they gave promise of list fall
(and we aren’t talking just about sophomores since we real
ize that the first string line is largely a junior cbmbihation').
We don’t know why these players haven’t met our expecta

“Big” Three in Cadet Line
Is Confidence What The Aggies Need?
However] we choose to feel that
this isn’t the case. What the team
seems to need is a “shot in the
arm”—something to revive within
it the- confidence that it can win.
We suspect that one winning ef
fort by the Ags—say a victory over
Southern Methodist Saturday—
could turn the Majroons into one of
the most justly feared aggrega
tions in the conference.
Last fall the Cadets never
could (juite make it^—either a had
first period marred by mistakes
or a nightmarish final quarterjthat
found a tired Aggto eleven sagging
before the opponent’s fresh re
serves would lead to a Maroon loss.
The 14-pointers never could quite
hold that other team to 13 points,
i Well, seven games have come .and
gone. Seven games, sjx losses. The
seniors have just about ended lack
luster careers, the juniors have al
most completed another unsuccess

found that victories as freshmen
are obscured by losses as the var
sity. It is because these men lack

The Aggie freshmen have scored
seven touchdowns in their three

In their': opener, the Aggies
dumped Weatherford Junior Col
lege, 2R-13. Raymond Haas, Walter

jak each made a touchdown for
the Fish. Halfback Darrow Hoop
er kicked all four extra points.

three more touchdowns before bow
ing; in a 21-19 thriller with TCU’s
Wogs. Herbert McJunkin made one
TD and Roy Bush, end, sedfed
twice for the Cadets. The Aggie
freshmen made 15 first downs to
eight for the Wogs.

The Fish will do their share of
the throwing. Their chunkers are
Ray Graves of StephenVille, Hoop

Graves has completed better thah
60 per cent of his passes this

touchdowns. He’s also a dangerous
broken-field runner, which makes
it hazardous for linesmen to rush
him.
Coaches Marion Pugh and Mil-

es are not predicting a victory,
