Everything from “broom fights”
to “battle royals” have occurrea
since the first meeting of A&M and
Texas University in 1894.
Times have changed, inventions
•have developed, and wars have
come and gone but the sacred tra
dition between the two schools
has continued to grow. Each year,
even if both teams were battling
for the cellar, the game has been
a sellout.
Fights Start In 1908
It was in 1908 that these two
bitter rivals first came to blows.
Texas had a good team that year
and didn’t have much trouble win
ning, but the University students
carried brooms, to the game indi
cating a, clean sweep for the Long
horns.
During the half both student
'‘bodies attempted to parade at the
same time, the results being noth
ing but an old fashioned gang
$fight.
Even though Texas won the
game, the Aggies won the fight,

but good. They took the brooms
away from the Austin “youngsters”
and burned them ... it caused
much ill feeling.
Strained Relations
This was the beginning of sev
eral upsetting events which caus
ed relations to be cut for three
years.
That same year they played
again on Thanksgiving Day in
Austin and the Aggies jumped to
an early 12-0 lead, on three long
field goals. (Then field goals
counted four points)
In the second half, Charley De-
Ware, great Aggie defensive end
and another Cadet were carried
off the field. Texas won the game
but after they departed the rela
tions became more strained than
ever.
1909 Surprise
In 1909, the Aggies surprised
the Longhorns with a pajr of wins.
They won 23-0 in Houston despite
a driving rain and had supposedly
recruited star players from Sewa-
nee, Vanderbilt, Carlisle Indians
and other schools to accomplish
their single ambition, to beat TU.
When the Cadets went to Austin,
Longhorn students carried a ban
ner to the game inscribed “Once in
Seven Years”. The Aggies won
the game (5-0) and changed the
banner to read “Twice In Two
Weeks”.
With the captured banner, the
Cadets paraded down Congress
Avenue that night, while the Long
horn students gave yells for the
various schools supposedly repre
sented on the Cadet squad. Feel
ings reached such a straining
point that the relations of the two
schools were broken until 1916.
A&M won its most decisive vic
tory in 1925 at College Station.
Led by Sophomore Joel Hunt, the
Aggies ran over the Longhorns
28-0.
Cadets Rated No. 1
In 1939 the Aggies were rated
the No. 1 team in the nation and
defeated the Austin lads 7-0 in
a muddy afternoon classic.
This was the last time that the
Cadets have been, able to win over
the Longhorns. Although a tie
was encouraging in 1948, a com
plete victory has continued to es
cape year after year.
It was two years after the ’39
win that Texas University smash
ed a long standing Kyle Field
“jinx” by snowing the Cadets 23-0
and have not seemed to have much
trouble since then.
This year the TU boys will be
favored and even though the games
are not as “riotiqg” and “robust”
as they used to be, excitement
should be plentiful in a traditional
Aggie fashion.

SWC King Remains Undecided
TU, Baylor, TCU, Rice ‘Possibles ’
“Rough and gruff” tactics re
placed the “razzle dazzle” of the
Southwest Conference, in the two
league tilts played over the week
end which decided one thing: Rice
fans have now removed their bags
from the “Cotton Bowl Special.”
The Owls lost to Texas Christian,
22-6, but Baylor wrangled a win
over the Southern Methodists, 14-
13, to stay in running for a part,
or all, of the SWC crown.
The Horned Frogs now lead the
league with four wins and only
one loss (to Texas, 32-21), fol
lowed by Baylor in second place
with three wins, a loss and a tie.
Texas and Rice, the other two pos
sible winners of the conference,
each have won three, lost two
record.
Aggie’s In Cellar
Aikansas, who this weekend
stopped the Tulsa Hurricane, 24-7,
is ranked fifth with a two-four,
win-loss record. The Mustangs
have one win and one tie compared
to three losses, while the Aggies
dwell deep in the cellar with three
losses and two ties.
At mid-week, the “eyes of Tex
as” will be glued on Kyle Field
where the Maroon and White plays
host to the invading Longhorns in
the annual classic of the confer
ence—the “Tuikey Day” game. A
win could give the Steers another
chance at the Cotton Bowl and a
share of the title.
Rice battles Baylor in Rice Sta
dium. The Owls, however, can win
a share of the conference crown
with a victory but could not play
in the New Year’s day extravagan
za. Baylor could take a clean win of
the title in winning, provided the
Mustangs upset the Horned Frogs,
who are hosts to the Ponies, in
Fort Worth Saturday. TCU takes
both the title and a “Cotton Bowl
berth” with a win over SMU, no
matter what the rest of the SWC
does.
Unnecessary personal fouls mar
red the Waco-Fort Worth games,
both of which were played in the
rain.
At Amon Carter Stadium, 25,000
spectators almost saw a brawl in
stead of a football game as a near
record total of 23 penalties rolled
up 247 yards. Of this, the majority
was credited to the winnei’s who
garnered 157 yards in 13 tries.
Confusion at Waco
Confusion was high in Baylor’s
new and yet unfilled stadium as
30,000 drizzled soaked fans choked,
then booed a Green and Gold team
that committed foul after foul and
finally won.
Both Fred Benners and Jerry
Norton of the Mustangs were re
moved twice from the field; each
YES,

left after the first time they had
handled the ball. But the probable
SWC champs were not in the least
bit startled by a greater portion
of the crowd’s reaction and in
stead, booed and yelled back at
the crowd. Even the Bruins All-
American quarterback candidate
lost his head at times, and fists
almost flew.

Baylor 14, SMU 13
Jerry Goody and Larry Isbell
worked on the ground and through
the air to give Baylor a 14-13 win
over the SMU Mustangs in one of
the roughest battles of the two
team’s series. Last year Baylor won
over SMU, via a toe, with a field
goal and a 3-0 score. This year’s
repeat “toe performance” was per
formed by Casimo Brocato, who
twice converted successfully for
Baylor.

As many fans in the stands
said, “Baylor almost lost because
they couldn’t make up their mind
whether to slug or block first.”
But with the nasty weather and
foul play, the Baylor Bears were
statistically overwhelming in their
win, while the Mustangs were gal
lant in defeat. Little Jerry Norton,

the next “Doaker” of the SWC,
played his heart out in setting up
the Mustangs touchdowns and one
which failed to materialize. He ran
for 62 yards and passed for an
other 62. Fred Benners played his
worst game, the little he did play.
Goody was the leading ground
gainer with 112 yards while Isbell
completed seven of 16 attempted
passes for 144 yards.

Hold Preview
Tuesday Night
A scrimmage game between the*
varsity and freshman basketball
squads tomorrow night in DeWare
Field House will give fans of this
area a preview of the 1951-52 edi
tion of the Aggies.
The scrimmage at 8 p. m. will be
a dress rehearsal for both teams
as the varsity tangles with North
Texas State College from Denton
on Dec. 3 while the freshmen meet
Victoria Junior College as a pre
liminary to that game. Both games
will be in DeWare Field House.
Workouts began for both squads
Oct. 15 under the guidance of
Coach John Floyd. The man who
directed the Aggies to a share of
the conference crown last season
will get a good look at both teams
under fire for the first time this
year.
November 28 is
