little to gain except in. personal
satisfaction. For the Aggies, win

The exports arc picking the Tex
as team although there are many
who hedge after saying “Texas by
13” with .these words, “The Aggies
could win if they have a good day.
Today's game looms as a person
al duel between two great backs
Texas' Byron Townsend and A&M's
Bob Smith. Townsend has been a
consistent gainer all year but his
gains usually are for three.and
four yards at a time. Smith on
the other hand has picked up his
share of three and four yard gains
but he has also gotten free for
numerous runs of more than 70
yards. Smith is a fast and elusive
runnel* once he breaks into the sec
ondary.
Sports doposters are predicting
that the strong Longhorn forward
wall which averages at least 220
)ounds to the man will be able to
veep the Aggies running attack in
check. Aggie supporters are doubt
ful that any line can keep Bob
Smith, Billy Tidwell and Glen
Lippman in check.

Effective Passing

M./T. Harrington pauses during her busy
Mrs
day with three of the interests in her life. Her
son, John, with her, is a student in the sixth
grade at Consolidated School. John holds the
family pet, Fritz. Mrs. Harrington lists music
as one of her great interests,' but says she plays
only'for my own amusement;”

The Longhorns passing game
has picked up in effectiveness since
the beginning of the season now
that man under Ben Tompkins has
started tossing the pig skin. Tomp
kins ranks fifth in Conference
standings on net yards gained pass
ing. He has thrown 94 passes and
has completed 54 of them for a
percentage of .574. Six of his
passes have* been for touchdowns.
Leading pass receivers for the
Longhorns have been ends B e n
Procter and Tom Stolhandske. Last
year Procter was regarded as the
most dangerous pass receiver in
the conference.
The Aggies will have ends Andy
Hillhouse and Charles Hodge heal
ing the brunt of pass catching du
ties while backs Dick Gardemal,
Delmer Sikes, Ray Graves and
Darrow Hooper will all probably
share passing duties today if an
all out aerial attack becomes nec
essary.
The A ggies will-probably change
their offensive tactics today in an
effort to offset the effectiveness of
the Longhorn line. Look for more
plays to be run from the split T
which gives the fast Aggie backs
time to put the pressure on the
opposing end and line backer rath
er than on the tackles and guards.
There is no question that .on
jast performances the Longhorn
ine has looked superior to the Ag
gies line. How the two lines will
compare today of course is anoth
er story.

Ten Females On Aggie Grid Team
*
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
grew up in Dallas, attended North
Dallas High School. From there
she went to Randolph Macon and
was graduated from Baylor Uni
versity.
The meeting that was eventually
to bring Ruth Norris to Aggieland
occurred 20 years ago in Dallas.
She was then working at High
land Park High School and her
future husband, not many years
out of A&M, was teaching chem
istry here. The two met through
President Harrington's cousin who
was a close friend of Miss Norris.
In February 1933 the pretty
young lady from Dallas and the
tall handsome young teacher from
A&M joined their destinies in a
marriage that has been marked
with* happiness and that would
serve well as a model for students
to follow. Immediately after their
marriage the young couple came
to A&M. Here Ruth Harrington
has put down her roots, formed
her friendships and here, she says
“I belong.”
the state of world affairs. She feels
that it is a tragedy. that young
men must be chiefly concerned
with the problem pf keeping Amer
ica safe, but she knows that this
is' true.

Ruth Harrington considers all
Aggies part hers. She loves them,
takes a personal interest in the
things that are dearest to their
hearts. Once she has met a stu
dent, she is not likely to forget
him, or his girl friend, his wife
or his child. She is proud of
every success that comes to one
of hers, and their tragedies are
her own.

When Aggie-ex Marion T. Har
rington took over the reins of
leadership at Texas A&M College
in September, he brought with him
many qualifications for the job.
The mo^t important of these is his
wife, Ruth Norris Harrington.
A&M's First Lady, who de
scribes herself as “just plain va
nilla” sat in the reception room
of her home and denied with eve

neath her utter femininity .there

and intellect.
The vital statistics of this ver-

in the wake of her charm. She
bubbles; she radiates enthusiasm
for her family, her home and her
Aggies. To meet her is to give
yourself over to a special kind of
magic that few people in this world
command so completely.

have managed an education with
the responsibilities of family life,
Mrs. Harrington has only praise.

Shortest of the octet is five foot-

Aggie point-after specialist while
they were students at North Side,
Fort Worth. Jeannine, who is one
of the two brown-eyed Aggietes in
the group, promised to become Mrs.
Hooper before she finished high
school. Now, one year of married
life and one year of Aggieland la

On weekends they usually are all

A&M's chief hostess has no idea
one day who she will be enter

The best part, the really endear

is her complete sincerity. Success
has left her just as it found her
totally unaffected. She is; in every
sense of the word, a queen. And
all who know her hope that she

Broken Field Driving
Smashes Human Lives
I 9
Here’s a message from the Texas
Safety Association:
Parents, if your teen-age young
ster is going to a football game in
his automobile, tell him to be
to keep all broken field running
on the gridiron and off the high
ways. Explain to him, man-to-man,
how necessary it is to drive prop
erly regardless of being late for
the kick-off, and regardless of who
wins or who loses.
A word of caution from you may
spell the difference between the
life and death of your boy.
