Brown received the kick-off and ran 75 yards for ri touchdown. But Brown was not satisfied with that glorious accomplishment, before the game was over he carried the pig-slfin for two more long runs which resulted in touchdowns.

Approximately 5,000 people gathered in lndianola to see the Sunflower Aggies lock horns with Leland for the championship of the Delta. We have no alibis. Leland won and more than paid us back for the drubbing we gave them last year. The Aggies were beaten by score but not by spirit. They met Webster A. l-l. S. with a renewed determination. But the hill boys proved too powerful for our Aggies. Again they tasted defeat, score 12 to 6. The sting of the two defeats was completely erased on Turkey Day. The Red and 'White again proved to be fast colors. The French Camp colors faded before the deluge of runs, plunges, and passes that the Aggies exhibited. There is no doubt that this was one of the best games of the season. A word of praise and appreciaticn is due the scrubs. Their untiring efforts helped make our team. With only their scl1col's interest at heart, they fcught the varsity day after -:lay, giving the best they had and malcing the varsity da the same. From all angles the i927 season was a great success. The season closed with the Red and White waving in triumph and the Aggies' crown shining with many stars. WADE KELLUM, HALFBACK Senior, Weigh! 158 A sjeed demon and a hard hitter who could always be depended on for a gain. His crowning day was in the Lhoctaw Aggie game. FLEET FIELDS, TACKLE funior, Weigh! 170 Hs ability was recognized wherever he played. He always gave his best from start to finish Europa is still wondering how one man can stop so many plays. CARLYLE LONG, GUARD funior, Weight 175 To opposing offense he is like a machine gun cutting the ramrs of unprotected troops. With his strength, he tears his way through the opposing line and gets his man. LEE T. FOX, GUARD Senior, Weigh! 160 Few and far between have been those who donned an Aggie uniform with more ability and sticability than Lee. He won his re: as a :asser and tackler. 4 6 S 4 5 Q r A - f' Us 2.4 si s ,ij fx xr-'gqgfxfx g 9 2 2 Ygyyx fx fe x 1 ' 1 Y- ff' X 'N Nf-Kb' fd ' fl . xfxfq ff N'-NF N N - r
