Kven after their stunniag defeat. Bear fans kept to t ham salves and reserved moat of their comments until they ware out of bearing distance of the boys from the Brazos bottom. This is understandable considering the “licking” the Bruins took at the hands of the Aggie eleven plus one. However, the Ags on the Waco school's campus con ducted themselves with dignity and reserve expected of gentlemen This victory—one of self-discipline—may have been more important than the one AAM secured on the play ing field. ♦ a * Unfortunately, the weekend was not without incident. Some Aggies who were sorely missed by the 12th Man in Waco spent their weekend at play on the campus "floating” dorm 11, home of the fightin’ Texas Aggie Band. The stunt represented no feat of skill or outstanding mili tary tactics. The dorm was completely unoccupied over the weekend. The reason it was unoccupied was the hand was in Waco supporting their team Obviously, certain other units cannot say they turned out en masse to t>ack the Ags. But then, their boys were “busy” while the men of Aggieland doubled up to fill the gaps in the ranks of the 12th Man. The children responsible for this display could well re examine their motives for this "good bull.” Maybe they aren’t the ones to chastise the band for not being just like the rest of the Corps.
