The Battalion .... College Station (Brazo* County), Texa* PAGE 2 Friday, October 26, 1956 At Other Schools IJy JOE TINDEL Battalion News Editor Baylor University is desperately trying - to bolster its school spirit for the game tomorrow and the school with the fourth-ranked team in the nation—now tied for tenth—has a writer on The Skiff who has his own opinion about girls and shorts. Baylor As might be expected, the Bears are making a desperate attempt to bolster their “spirit” before the game. Of all things, they are having a “Hex the Aggies” crazy hat contest, sponsored by the sophomore Spirit Committee. The hats are to be worn this week and be made to reflect school spirit. It’s about time they tried something new. Their poor old bear mascot has about “had it” from being stolen and hidden by Baylor students. Tom Williams writes in the Lariat, school newspaper, that “the best team lost at Kyle Field.” He says the torrential rain and wind ruined the TCU attack while it helped the Aggies “power-line assault plays.” One of the reasons he gave for the Bears wanting to beat the Ags was “because they upset the Frogs”. Bet the Frogs didn’t know that the Bears wanted to be so “buddy-buddy” with them. The Frogs probably won’t be bothered too much when Baylor loses. TCU At TCU, nobody is very mad about Saturday’s game but it def initely seems that Jim Hendricks, editor of the TCU Skiff has gone mad. He writes: “Lots of girls who wear shorts shouldn’t. Some who don’t should. And “drunks at football games make us thirsty.” WELCOME TO WACO AGGIES!!

Bob Balhorn, 1st Sgt. of Squad ron 3, received a telegram which stated—“Mr. Balhorn Sir, most un fortunate catastrophe, car broken down must take bus, will arrive 10 o’clock. No excuse Sir. Signed: Fishes Jerry Atkins, Allen Mar- burger and Ed Tinnin. Also, as a direct result of the Ag’gie-Cougar High game came this excerpt from a col umnist in one of the Houston papers. “This was no tooth less Aggie tiger. This was Bear Bryant’s musyled giant, ranked among the nation’s best headed with the swoosh of rocket power toward the top. It was this Big Team that the UH grappled with, tore into, and with pressure bursting and bellowing at superhuman dimensions, flung them back while a whole stadium gasp ed.” Boy what copy! This gent better lay off them ‘Wheaties’ and get himself some ‘All-Bran’. Jack Valenti is the writer’s name, you find out in the paper. A young lass lost her purse at the TCU game Saturday and prob ably had a hard time getting home. She is Shirley Lawrie of Grayburg, Tex. Campus Security office reported the contents being among some twenty other things, a round trip ticket to Houston. Shirley wasn’t alone as far as los ing things, there were five wo men’s hats, and six purses, also for women turned in to the KK’s. We won’t mention his name but a certain basketball play er, who happens to be very tall and also a Yankee, got the fright of his life one night last week. This here Yankee had never seen a Armadillo before, so some of his round- ball buddies put one in his shoe box to see what would happen. Well, this here Yankee opened the box and when the Arma dillo jumped out, the Yankee did tod—out of Ills shoes that is. The report we got was he left his shoes completely. He said, “I didn’t know but what the varmit might bite.” Some of you Old Army Aggies were done wrong last Friday night. About 12 p.m. Friday night the yell practice was in full swing and so were the KK’s. As most of you know the TCU midnight yell practice was perhaps the largest cite ^ever held and consequently, there were a lot of cars. So many in fact, that many people parked anywhere they could. Well the KK’s being ever on the look-out for a parking violation, gave out a good many tickets. There just ain’t no justice!
