Who’s Got the Spirit?
Yell Leaders and students alike have been using all kinds ot meth
ods to get the so-called two percenters to attend the yell practices
the Annex, in their efforts, they have omitted one!little detail,
detail, which makes all efforts worthless unless it is correctet , is this
attendance of the Freshman Regiment
If a poll was taken every week and
answer the question, it could probably
•percent of the. freshman nt the Annex
games. -We realize that many of the
at football games
each Freshman would honestly
be found that as man/ as 30
aren’t attending home football
students at the Annex don’t

I
care much f6r football and would rather do other things wh
consider more important. But I ask you, what is more importanjt
than going into College Station and staiding with the Twelfth Man (as
a full fledged member) to help the fighting.Aggie team to a victory?
Certainly anyone should regret nissing the spectacular playinj
, on the part of the Aggies last Saturtay against SMU. Throughout
the game, however, the Twelfth Man was there, backing the team on
tq a near victory over the highly rated, Mustangs. ]
Many reasons have been attribute 1 toward the absence c f fn
men at thesq'games, but very few coi ld be excusable and those
dents who offer them know this to be a fact.
One person in particular said that he had to study, and ve
admit, he spent the entire game time and much after that in the study
halls. But when night came, he was o re of the many boys thjat fourjd
time to go out and have a good time until mid-night.
Another freshman made a statement that should not cone fro^n
the lips of any Agg!e> whether he mei nt it or not. To quote
haven't been to a single: XAM game th s year and what's morp I don
intend to go to one. In eur estlmatloi, there is ft boy that
be straightened up Just a little.
Probably the majority of studenti that miss the football
do so because they are afraid they might receive a little encouragemeljit
from upperclassmen to yell. We will admit that they see to It that
show-proper Enthusiasm as far as ye ling is concerned, but after
not much more is asked of the Twelfth Man.
The football season Is nearly ovftr. The only remaining gamfe;
are going to be gone before we know it. School will be d
Saturday in order that students of AifeM can attend the gajne t
played with Rice in Houston. As a rjesult, freshmen are plannln
take advantage of this extra holiday ii order to go home( those
don’t live in or near Houston) or do sone other things. Long 1 nes 1
prevailed almost all week in Col. R. L. MelCher’s office with studen
asking'for permission to go places other than Houston.
If this is the kind of spirit the class of ’53 is going to sponsqr*
we look fob A&M to loose one of its oldest and most treasured tra
ditions, the Twelfth Man.

’Mural Competition
v r
BY jLeBLANC and SCHMIDT
Intramural -play last week saw
more spirited rivalries aroused be
tween rthe teams as the races be
gan to take shape. It became evi
dent which teams were going to
have be beaten before another
team qould sneak into first place.
The Vets spent part of their
busy week subduing Co. 4, 6-0. Fit.
10 then surprised everyone by tak
ing a-^6-0 victory from the tough
Vets. Co. 6 saw its early 7-2 lead
fail to stand up before Fit. 2 and
lost in the last moments, 0-7. Co.
3 took the measure of Fit. 13, 12-0,
while Cto. 1 eked out a victory over
Flight 11, 7-6. The Vets outclassed
a Co. 2 squad, 13-0.
Holland started a Co. 3 march by
firing Consecutive passes to Peden
and Jftckson which carried 46
yards to the 15. Peden, on a hide
out play, took an aerial from Hol
land to rack up Co. 3’s initial
score.
Early in the sfecond half, Co. 3
scored again on a long Peacock to
Rawling pass which covered 45
yards. Fit. 13 threatened when they
drove to the 18 on passes by Will-
son and runs by Ritter. Big guns
of losing Fit. 13 were Willson, Bor
den, E. A. Scott, Sikes, Robin, H.
W. Scott, and Etegall.
Malcolm, Pirtle, Stearns, Lively,
O’Berry, and Roberts looked good
for thej infantry.,
|j Band Rallies
Fit. 11 started with a bullet toss
from Holbrook to Williamson
which netted 41 yards, then they
settled back to hftng on.
Lay’s passes led the way back
for the band. The score came when
Buckholt made a fine catch of a
Lay pass. Hanna converted to add
the finishing touches.
Staffer’s running for Fit. 11 was
especially creditable. He was back
ed by Highsmith, Duke, Holmes,
Nicholas, Skein, and Bridges.
Hanna’s passes to Austin and
Gftivan were Co. jl’s greatest of
fensive) Jweapon. Further punqh
was added by Hudson, Mapes, El
ler, Buckholt, Keller, and Sim
mons.

tl^ree of Tabb’s passes to break up
offensive moves by Co. 4. Walther,
Harper, Reeves, Jones, and Mee-
