The year was 1896 and the Cadets won two out of three games with one tie. The Aggies trounced Houston High School 28-0, squeaked by Austin College 22-4 and fought to a bitter scoreless tie with Gal veston High School. And if you think the present day Farmers have it bad, pity the poor Maroon and White of nine teen ought-and-ought. They were beaten by Texas twice in one sea son—5-0 and 11-0. The 1909 team evened the score, however, with 23-0 and 5-0 vic tories over the Longhorns. In 1904, the Aggies must have placed high in the balloting for the most inconsiderate football team. The Cadets silently drubbed the Deaf and Dumb Institute, 49-0. One can’t help but feel, though, that the height of the good old days came in the Ags’ opening game 29-0 triumph in 1905. The victim?
