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

But why worry about rain? l..ee Fox, Studivant and Allen made the line well nigh impregnable. The Choctaws' line failed to curb the Jack-rabbit tendencies of C-ray and his fleet-fooled backs. Brown turnecl the game into a vertiable track meet. Again thc Red and White waved in glory, with a one sided score of 39 to 0. u lnclianola, our friendly foes across the way, came over to stop that Aggie bunch. lndianola kicked off to open the game. 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. Al- though lndianola fought valian-tly there was just 'too much Brown and Croolcf supported by every member of the team. The final score was 30 to 7. A THEO COUCH, HALFBACK funiof, Weigh! 135 X.

Then weave me a wreath for his tousled hair, He has Won that wreath, by all that's fair. He has plunged and tackled and played the game: He has gone in battered and limped out lameg He has lifted the varsity up to fame. He has made the varsity fast and strongg He has put the tackles where they belongg He has taught the forwards Where they were wrong And the sum of his aches and all his pains Is shown as the fleeting season wanes In the way the varsity backlield gains. Thus it has been for years and yearsg The varsity hero gets the cheersg The lot of the scrub is three long jeers. And that is the reason-foolish dream- That I nominate, though you laugh and scream, The scrub for the All-American team. JOHN KIERAN in New Yorlg Times. X ,.
