The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Thursday, October 17, 1957 An Editorial Crood Conduct Port Worth will be opening its heart and arms to some 7,000 Aggies this weekend as it did in 1955 and hopes are high that A&M students will come back as highly praised this time as they were before. One of the traditions of all Ag'gies is to “win that party - ’ but there is some question whether a party has been won if several Ags get in trouble in the process. Aggies generally have the reputation of being rowdy. That’s not always true and the best way to show it is to act like gentlemen with pride in their school while guests in Cowtown. One of the most deplorable sights seen in a long time occurred Saturday night before the U. of H. game. Houston students, boys and coeds, came bursting into the MSC shouting at the top of their lungs, “Beat the H— out of A&M,” and other improper remarks. Whether they knew it as a memorial to war dead matters little. Their conduct in such a place lowered them extremely in the eyes of on-lookers. Something like that mustn’t happen in Fort Worth, Ag gies have been praised for their conduct before and can be again this year. Frog Memories Spark Revenge liy JOE TINDEL When waves of Aggies swoop down on Fort Worth this week end, the students at Frogland will have but one,thing on their mind. UPSET THE AGGIES! The TCU student body has tast ed two bitter doses of Aggie medicine labeled A&M, It), TCU, 16 and A&M 7, TCU, G. Frog teams have been on the losing side 28 times out of the 52 games played since 1897. The Ag gies lost only 19 and five were tied. Naturally they’ll be fired up. After last year’s edge which undoubtedly threw the Aggies into the conference championship, the FYogs had a hard time accept ing defeat. Repeated reports came that 1CU s films of the game showed Jim Swink had scored when the Aggies set up a brick wall and held the Frogs on the goal line. One writer in the TCU Skiff, campus newspaper, observed that the Aggies won only because they were professionals, intimating the players had been subsidized to play for A&M. In 1954, the first year of King Bryant’s reign, TCU beat the Ag gies, 21-20, but several of their band members went home minus their purple hats. Reports from all over show that the Frogs had rather beat the Aggies than any other team on their schedule. ‘ The Southwest Conference Championship won’t be at stake this year but there will either be some scores settled or once again the Toads will taste defeat.
