More Than 40,000
Will Jam College
Station Thursday
COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 26.-
More than 40,000 persons will jam
this isolated community Thursday
as it has never been packed before
when one of the greatest gridiron
events in the history of the South
west becomes a fact, tho annua!
Aggie-Longhorn football battle.
T-he night before the game, NBC
will broadcast the pre-game bon-
fire eoast-to-coast and via short
wave to Europe and South America
from 6:30 to 7 p. m. Bill Stern,
famed NBC sports announcer, will
handle the broadcast which will
originate at Manilla, P. I., Austin
and College Station.
Governor Coke Stevenson, Uni-
versity President Homer P. Rainey
and Longhorn Coach Dana Bible
will speak on the network program
from Austin. Brig. Gen. George F.
Moore, A. & M. graduate of the
class of 1908 and A. & M. com
mandant from 1937 to 1910, will
speak briefly from Manilla where
he is commander of the United
States coast artillery detachment
there.
The pre-game program from Col
lege Station Wednesday night will
include brief talks by A. & M.
President T. O. Walton; F. M. Law,
Houston, president of the A. & M.
board of directors, and Aggie Coach
Homer Norton.
Doctor Walton, Law and Norton
will speak from the speakers stand
erected on the main drill field where
the 80-foot-high bonfire has been
constructed.
The massed 6800-member cadet
corps, the 216-piece Aggie band,
Toppy Pearce’s Aggieland orches-
tra and the Singing Cadets will also
appear on the 30-minute NBC show.
-A unique importance has been
added to the tradition-steeped grid-
iron tilt as it will be dedicated to
the ex-students of the two great
state universities who are now in
the nation’s armed services.
The dedicatory services, which
will be brief, will take place before
the game. The two collegiate bands
will form on Kyle field at 1:45, the
massed colors of A. & M.’s army
R. O. T. C. unit and the University’s
naval R O. T. C. branch will front
the two bands and the national
anthem will be played. Following
this Governor Stevenson will speak
briefly.
With the governor will be a party
of state legislators and other state
officials who will be guests at a
banquet in Sbisa hall previous to
the game.
Besides the usual Humble broad-
cast, both the NBC and Mutual net-
works will carry the game coast-to-
coast, marking the first time that
three networks have carried
Southwest conference game at tho
same time.
Facilities for taking care of cam
pus visitors are being taxed a:
never before in A. & M. history.
Twenty-mile distant Navasota and
Hearne have reported no available
rooms for the game. At Bryan and
College Station all available rooms
were snapped up more than two
months ago.
Adequate facilities for feeding
the thousands of fans will be
handled by the A. & M. dining hall
system. J. C. Hotard, head of the
system, said that plans were bejng
made to feed up to 25,000 persons
Thanksgiving day.

Why Talk Any More About Turkey
Day Tilt; Sec You At Kyle Field
Thursday is Thanksgiving and a number* of you will travel to Col-
lege Station to see THAT game. You are lucky if you have tickets be-
cause Texas und Texas A. & M. always play close, hard-fought tilts re-
gardless of previous records or material.
This yoar both teams boast formidable elevens, both are ranked in
the first ten of the nation.
The Longhorn- are given a good chance by many to upset the
( adits at Kyle Field. Mind you, we s.Vd upset and we mean upset.
Because it will be an upset if the Longhorns win at Aggieland.
Why? Well, the Aggies have already won the Southwestern Confer-
ence crown, they are the No. 2 team in.the country, they are unde-
feated and untied, and, most important of all, they will play this
raditional engagement on their own field.
What tougher circumstances could the Longhorns ask for! It’s a
double-tough assignment for Dana X. Bible’s charges but the pressure’s
oft as far as any bowl-talk is concerned and they are going to be in
there fighting to spoil A. & M.’s spotless slate.
Why talk any more about this game. We all know it’s a natural.
See you at College Station!

Somebody asked us what was
wrong with Bay City against Texas
City. We didn’t see the game but
the weather was not fit for man or
beast to be out in. No doubt that
was how he local gridders felt.
Then, too, Mac Johnson, our
choice for All-District in the full-
back slot, did noil’ play because of
an injured shoulder. Mac’s absence
was sorely felt.
We were told that the Texas City
band left the grandstands at half-
time because the weather was so
bad.

Hamill and Hamid's great inde-
pendent basketball team has been
beaten only “four or five times”
in the last six years, according to
Six Augsburger. who played on
the team as center every one of
those years.
Hamill will have another strong
team this year, he says, but as an-
nounced recently in The Herald, Six
himself will be unable to play be-
cause of an injured hand. And Six,
who loves the cage game, feels
pretty badly about the whole thing
despite the fact that he’s been play-
ing for the last twenty-five or thirty
years.
Six pours honey in our ears with:
Bob, I want to tell you your
sports page is getting better and
better all the time.’’
Thanks, sport, for those kind
words.

and Horak also stood out in tho
backfield for Richmond.
Richmond led in first downs, 12
to 9. Campos and Ganske were the
offensive mainstays for Boling with
Cravey, Soward, and Sterling show-
ing up well on defense.
For the Tigers, in addition to the
great backfield display, Leos and
Kopyeinski at ends proved hard to
circle.
The game was played in a bitter
rain and cold wind.
Soph Jim Drake
Leads Texas City
To 12-7 Victory
Playing on a field that was a sea-
of mud, the Texas City Stingarees,
led by Sophomore Jimmy Drake,,
struck twice through the air Fri-
day to beat Bay City, 12 to 7.
Texas City’s first marker was
scored in the first quarter, when
Drake rifled a 25-yard pass to By-
ron Fletcher and the fleet end ran
on to cross the goal standing up.
The Stingarees’ second touch--
down was tallied in the fourth quar-
ter on another pass from Drake to
Fletcher. The Black Cats fought
hard to overcome the Texas City-
lead. Earl Johnson, who played a
bang-up game for Bay City at end,
cored from the 20 on an end-
round.
Randy Cox and Dickey Carter,
ity, were the Black Cats’ offen-
ive stars in addition to Johnson.
Texas City made ten first downs
> Bay City’s seven.
