Weekend Advice
WHO WAS RIGHT AND WHO WAS WRONG may
make a lot of difference to insurance companies or highway
or city police investigating an automobile accident, but it
matters very little to someone killed in the wreck.
A&M automobiles will be leaving, and some will be
zooming, out of here in just a couple of days. Destination:
Fort Worth and the football game there Saturday with the
Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University.
Let’s make sure we get to the right destination. Let’s
make highways a means to an end—not our end.
ANOTHER BIT OF ADVICE we might offer, which has
or will be given by Corps officers, is that Corps students
wear civilian clothes in Fort Worth Friday night and after
the game. We’re not hoping for trouble, and anything that
can be done to mitigate any irritation on the part of certain
persons can go a long way toward helping prevent fights.
For some reason, parts and pieces of the A&M uniform seem
to be prized souvenirs; but it’s an expensive practice on the
victim, and someone could very easily get hurt. Staying to
gether in fairly large groups, staying orderly, and staying
out of dark back-streets and alleys will also 'help to prevent
trouble from occurring.
Today’s Borrowed Thoughts
“And one of the terms of peace, the loudspeakers say, is to be
disarmament. There are to be no more guns, no army, no navy, no
air force in the future. No more young men will be trained to fight
with arms. That rouses another mind-hornet in the chambers of the
brain—another quotation.. “To fight against a real enemy, to earn
undying honor and glory by shooting total strangers, and to come home
with my breast covered with medals and decorations, that was the
summit of my hope . . .
“Those were the words of a young Englishman who fought in the
last (WWI) war. In the face of them, do the current thinkers honest
ly believe that by writing “Disarmament” on a sheet of paper they
will have done all that is needful ?
Othello’s occupation will be gone; but he will remain Othello.
“At last all the guns have stopped firing. . . . The natural darkness
of a summer’s night returns. An apple thuds to the ground. . . . And
now, in the shadowed half of the world, to sleep.”
Virginia Woolf, “Thoughts on
Peace in an Air Raid”
London, October, 1940

Football prophets who doomed the Aggies to a lowly
rung on the Southwest Conference championship ladder this
season have been seeing better things for A&M on their fore
cast charts lately, but there is at least one person who isn’t
convinced yet.
“Let’s shuffle the member teams of the Southwest Con
ference a bit. I think the best idea would be to drop Texas
A&M, and admit the University of Oklahoma and the Uni
versity of Missouri,” said Bill Kennedy, editor of the Woods-
boro, Texas News, a small weekly near Corpus Christi.
Mr. Kennedy, who happens to be an alumnus of Missouri
U., went on to say in his column “Ah, yes let’s take the case
of Texas A&M. I have never
been an outspoken admirer of
A&M football. I have yet to
notice anything remotely con
cerning a winning team at
A&M. Let’s hope that Aggie
coaches teach character, or some
thing—but it isn’t football.”
“Those Aggie exes who were
begging Paul Bryant to take over
the coaching duties at A&M will
Letters
To the Editor:
After reading your editorial con
cerning the A&M - University of
Houston series, I must say that
you are entirely right. In contests
between the two schools we (the
Aggies) have nothing to gain, and
all to lose.
If A&M is victorious, according
to the Houston papers, we are
either lucky or guilty of dirty play
If we lose, we are a bum.
I am not a Rice fan, but I’m sure
you will agree that we have never
seen a Rice team lose their poise.
And never have I heard Coach Nee
ly make an excuse for losing.
That’s what keeps the likes of Bear
Bryant and Jess Neely apart from
the bush leaguers.
Yours truly,
Robert L. Drago Jr., ’49

probably be yelling for his scalp
in a couple of years. And, who
will blame them ? Bryant, on a
10-year contract, says he needs
three or four to ‘build his system.’
I’ll have to be shown, my boy.”
“What is most annoying about
Texas A&M lately is the fact that
they don’t even look good losing.”
“But, and I use the Aggie-UCLA
game as proof, one can almost be
CERTAIN that the Aggies will
lose. They show no hope, during
the game, of ever breaking loose.”
“No—the Aggies are not needed
in the Southwest Conference, in
my thoughts. Missouri could be a
better, more exciting member.”
A&M currently ranks 19th in the
nation, Mr. Kennedy, and Missouri
—well, we won’t even bring up that
distasteful subject.
