Ags
oSWC After Tech Win
The undefeated Aggies settled
down Monday to dummy scrimmage
and a study of scout reports in
preparation for the first conference
game of the season with the TCU
Horned Frogs Saturday afternoon
in Fort Worth. .
With sophomores making up
three quarters of the starting back-
field, the Aggies turned back tough
Texas Tech Saturday night in Lub
bock by a 27-14 score.
Playing before a crowd of 26,000
A&M cooled off the 12th ranking
offensive team of the nation, allow
ing Tech a net offensive total of
148 yards to go with their three-
game average of 268 yards.
Huddleston Scores
Billy Huddleston, sophomore
halfback, got the Aggies in the
scoring column when he swept the
Texas Tech left end late in the first
period from 22 yards out. He made
a fine, twisting run down the side
line and into the end zone. El-
wood Kettler’s conversion made the
score 7-0 for the Aggies with 3
minutes left in the initial period.
The Red Raiders barged back in
to the game in the second period
when Kirkpatrick leaped up to in
tercept a Don Ellis pass on the
Tech 47 and sprinted straight down
the sideline to the Aggie 16 before
being stopped.
After three plays failed to move
the ball, Kirkpatrick pitched out to
Cavazos, who tossed a perfect
strike to Erwin in the end zone.
Kirkpatrick stepped back to add
the extra point, and the game was
tied up at 7-7 with 6 minutes and
81 seconds left in the half.
Ellis Counts on Keeper
With a minute and 16 seconds
remaining before the intermission,
Huddleston pounced on a Texas
Tech fumble on the Tech 10. Bob
Easley worked the ball to the 3 in
3 plays, and on fourth down, Ellis
on a keeper ran the ball to his
right and leaped over for a touch
down. Kettler added the point af
ter and the Aggies led at the inter
mission, 14-7.
The point-a-minute Tigers of
A&M Consolidated high school
blew open the lid of the district
25-A season with a rousing 48-0
win over Cypress-Fairbanks Fri
day night on Tiger Field.
Waller’s Bulldogs come here Fri
day night for the Tigers’ second
district game. Waller lost, 14-6,
to Katy last Friday.
The Tigers scored three times in
the first quarter and led, 34-0, at
the half. The Bobcats put up a
game battle, but Consolidated’s
weight and offensive power was
too much.
The Aggies wsted little time in
the third quarter before scoring.
They pushed the Red Raiders deep
into their own territory, then took
the ball on the Tech 31 after a
short kick.
Huddleston Does It Again
Ellis picked up 4, and Easley gal
loped to the 15. Huddleston start
ed around left end and twisted his
way into the end zone for his sec
ond touchdown of the evening. The
ball came bouncing back to Ellis on

Russ Goodale, the epee team won
seven of their nine matches. Wulf

only epee bout.
Conference champ James Blaine

of Oklahoma on the Aggie course
Friday afternoon.
Blaine, conference cross country
and two mile track champ, ran the
line of scrimmage and dashed for

Former Coach
Stricken By
Heart Attack
Homer Hill Norton, Aggie foot
ball coach from 1934 through 1947,
suffered a heart attack early in
September but is now at his home
at 2327 Wordsworth, Houston.
Norton-coached teams won the
Southwest Conference title in
1939, tied with SMU in 1940 and
won again in 1941.
In 1939 they were voted the No.
1 team of the nation and played
Tulane in the Sugar Bowl game
of Jan. 1, 1940. In 1940, when
they tied with SMU, they met
Fordham in the Cotton Bowl and
the following year played Ala
bama there also. His 1939-1940
teams were undefeated and untied
in 19 straight games.
It was under Norton that A&M
first had Aggies recognized as top
All-America football timbei’. The
late Joe Routt was picked in 1936
and 1937. In 1939 it was John
Kimbrough and Rev. Joe Boyd.
In 1940 the honors again went
to Kimbrough and Marshall Rob-
nett but the war years saw his
talent depart to the war or to play
for the Army. Hank Folberg, Dan
Folberg, Gobel Bryant, Bill Yoe-
man, and Dwight Coulter all made
the All-America at Army and all
but Coulter had won the Aggie
“T” before being “drafted.”
George Strohmeyer, another
great Aggie prospect in 1941, won
his All-America glory at Notre
Dame after the war.
Although former Coach Norton
is permitted few visitors at his
home he would be very happy to
hear from any of his many friends
and former players in the College
Station area.

Edgar Feldman ran 102 yards
for a touchdown in the fourth
quarter to give A&M Consolidated
junior high school a 12-0 Avin over

day night.
Billy Kavanaugh scored on a
two-yard buck four minutes later
for an insurance score. The plunge

backed by Buddy Holick after a
Navasota punt.
Navasota drove to the Consoli

quarter but failed to score on
fourth doAvn from the two yard
line.
Two plays later the Kittens
fumbled and Navasota recovered

Consolidated line held and the
Kittens took over on their two.
Kavanaugh, trapped behind his
goal on a attempted double re
verse three plays later, lateralcd to
