BURNING DESIRE—The burning desire of all Aggies
everywhere to beat the University of Texas was symbol
ized as “the biggest bonfire in the world” was lit by the
senior yell leaders at 8 p. m. Tuesday. The 1952 pre-game
bonfire constituted approximately 35 truck loads of logs
a »d hundreds of man-hours of work done by A&M cadets.
Bonfire Burning
Raises Cadet Spirit
By CHUCK NEIGHBORS
Battalion News Editor
“Well old Army ... ”, was the
cry that opened bonfire yell prac
tice Tuesday night on the main
drill field.
The assembled cadets gave three
yells, then sang the “Aggie War
Hymn” and listened to Coach Ray
George introduce the football sen
iors who will be playing their last
game Thursday afternoon.
Little and Graves Speak
Jack Little, speaking for the
linemen on the Cadet eleven, said
Ihe team would “give ’em every
thing we’ve got.”
Speaking for the backfield play
ers, the man-under in the T, Ray
Graves said he’d guarantee only
one thing, “that we’d beat the
H outa UT.”
“Everyone of us,” said Graves,
“has the ‘hackies’ at them (the
Austin newspapers) for saying the
Ags ai'e gonna lose.” Graves was
referring to statements in Austin
papers doubting A&M’s chances
in the final conference tilt for
both schools.
End Well, George Says
“We started well,” Coach George
said, “and we’re gonna end that
way.”
His speech concluded the team
section of the program.
Monty Montgomery, junior yell
leader, said yell leaders in years
before had started off their talks
with “it’s been a long time,” but
i he was going to begin his with “it
hasn’t been a very long time.”
Stripping off his jacket and tie,
P. L. (Pinky) Downs, celebrat-
| ing, accoi'ding to Head Yell Lead
er Tom Collins his fiftieth year of
service to A&M, said a Texas root
er told him the Aggies didn’t have
a chance because of Dick Ochoa,
Gib Dawson, Tom Stolhandske and
company.
“Well,” said Pinky “you all had
them last year when the Aggies
won 22-21, and they didn’t help
you then.”
Pinky concluded his speech by
saying he believed in everybody
fx’om the playex's to the athletic
dix-ectoi-, but he believed in the
“12th Man” most.
Yell Leaders Speak
Following Pinky’s speech, Jim
Tyi'ee, junior yell leader made a
few appropx-iate remarks.
“We’ll take those tea hounds,”
prophesied Dukey Childs, senior
yell leadex\
The last item on the program
was a recitation of “The Last
Corps Trip,” a poem read for the
last thx-ee years at bonfixe yell
px-actices. Collins read it.
Before yelling “15 for Team
Farmers Fight,” the cadets heard
a telegi - aixi from a member of the
class of ’51 which said the Ag
gies had the spirit and the team
to win this yeai\
Yell px-actice ended with the
singing of “The Spixit of Aggie-
laixd.”
A&M Means Rough
Game To Longhorns
(Editor’s note: Through agree
ment with editors of Southwest
conference newspapers, news
articles are exchanged before
each game by the two whose
school’s will meet on the foot
ball field that week. The follow
ing is supplied by The Daily
Texan of the University of
Texas).
By JIM EAGER
Daily Texan Day Editor
AUSTIN, Nov. 2G—A&M means
many things to the University of
Texas, but chiefly it means the
toughest football game of the yeax\
Some games the Longhoxns feel
they’ll win; othexs they feel they’ll
lose. When it comes to the Ag
gies,the yknow it’ll be a tough
battle—-the toughest. No matter
how either team stacks up in con
ference x-atings, it’s bound to be a
grim battle.
As to Aggies individually, ap
parently a good many UT coeds
think of them as next weekend’s
date. And the front steps of any
of the Tri-Doxms look like a section
of Aggieland tx-ansported come
Thui-sday mid-night.
System Far-Flung
The whole of the University sys-
em is a fax--flung, oil-x-ich empix-e
(which includes A&M). The main
.university once was 40 acres but
it too has grown. There are about
160 acres in the campus xxow, most
going up or coming down. At least
that’s the way it seems in going
fx-om east to west or back between
classes.
The building boom xxow going on
at A&M has also hit the UT cam-
pxxs. Six buildings have been com
pleted here in the last year and
the big talk of building now is
three px-oposed dormitories and a
cafeteria annex.
Memorial Stadium is at Twenty-
thixd and San Jacinto Boulevax-d.
The usual highway into Austin
from College Station enters fx-om
the north on East Ave. Memorial
Stadium is four blocks west. The
caxxxpus (and ox-iginal 40 acx-es)
extends seven blocks west fx-om the
Stadium to Guadahxpe St. (the
| Drag).
One of the Longhorn’s most re-
j nowned traditions is lighting the
University tower (Main Building
in center of campus) to indicate
the success of the teams. The top
is made orange for football games
won. The whole shaft is orange
when the Horns win the South
west Confex-ence title. Patterns of
light (alternate sides ox-ange and
white or ox-ange and white stx-ipes)
px-oclaim success in other sports.

Team Set To Break
UT Stadium Jinx
By ED HOLDER
Sports Editor
A spirited Aggie eleven invades Austin today attempting
to bulldog the Texas Steers and move from under the weight
of a 30-year Memorial Stadium jinx.
The Maroon and White of A&M last defeated a Long
horn squad in Austin in 1922. And according to sports writ
ers’ prognostications it will be 1954 when the Farmers make
the trip again before the spell can be broken.
But Coach Ray George of the Aggies expressed another
point of view. He said if his men play their best game of
the year, they can win. “We play our games one at a time,”
he said.
From across the fence in Austin we hear remarks like,
“The first three offensive leaders in the conference are run
ning at the same time for the Steers. Dick Ochoa, Gib Daw
son, and Billy Quinn lead the race for ground gained.
■ “And don’t foiget T. Jones who
leads the conference in passing
yardage. By the way he is also
the leading total offensive man in
the SWC,” boast the Texas fans.
Top-Notch Game Expected
All indications point to a top-
notch battle for this aftex-noon at
2 p. m. All but 1,000 of the 67,000
seat stadiuxxi have already been
sold.
Both teams u r e expected to be
at full strength for the 59th
Thanksgiving meeting of the clubs
with the exception of Pete May
eaux of A&M who was injured in
the Rice game.
Ray Graves will be quax-terback-
ing the Cadets, after sitting out
the Owl game on the bench with a
hip injux-y. The talented man-uxxdex-
is x-unning a close second to Jones
of Texas in the passing and total
offense depai'tments.
The Aggies have been hampered
with i - ain and cold weather this
week, and workouts have ben lim
ited to short spx-ints and bla'ck-
boax-d Work.
Marshall -Rush, x-ecently named
to All-SWC honors, and All-Amer-
ica Jack Little will be backing the
defensive wall for A&M. Both men
received slight injux-ies ixx the
Rice game but are x-eady to go at
full speed after a little over a
week’s i-est.
Since 1894 when the series be
tween the two schools began, the

Dormitory Milk
Machines Still
Not Approved
The Kream and Kow Club’s
plan for putting milk vending
machines in campus dormitor
ies is still in the talking stage,
said Dr. I. W. Rupel, head of
the dairy husbandry depax'tment.
“Although no definite Agree
ment has been made with the col
lege, I will say that the idea is
possible,” Rupel said. The main
difficulties the club is encourxter-
ing are financing and obtaining
enough xnen to keep the machines
opex-ating efficiently.
Two types of vending machines
are being considex'ed by the club,
said Rxxpel. One is the x'egular
Coca-Cola type which is now in the
dormitories and the other is a
deep-freeze type in which the bot
tles must be slid between two iron
bars and through a coixx operated
opening.
If the college appx-oves the pro
ject and the other difficulties are
overcome, machines will be placed
in the dorixiitories on a trial basis.
