Texas A and M University - Aggieland Yearbook (College Station, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 360 of the 1945 volume:

V. Lo 53 OS Wince the day that my predecessor sat down to write his words for the yearbook, A M has felt the full effects of the changes necessary for a military school to adjust itself to wartime conditions. In the drastic changes undergone by the student body many of the old customs and traditions have fallen by the wayside, not because they were detrimental, but because with the increased tempo of the times the principles for which they stood were temporal rily lost from sight. For that reason we have dedicated this book to the “Spirit of Aggieland” and in pictures and words we have attempted to record a few of the customs and traditions that went into the formation of that spirit. They were all a part of an Aggie’s life of which he could be proud. They went into the molding of men to which the school could point with pride. I know that when the war is over and conditions return to normal, all true Aggies hope to see once again those things that make up the “Spirit of Aggieland” returned to their rightful place in the life of every Aggie. In closing I wish to express my thanks to the members of the staff who by their hard work and cooperation made this book possible—and thanks to you, members of the senior class, who elected me as editor.

Perhaps the man, in whose memory it was played, was unknown to you, but you have the feeling that a good friend has died. Tou now he was a brave man, a man who loved the same school you do, a man with whom you had much in common for he was a fellow Aggie. And as you stand there in the moonlight, in the quiet of the night, bro en only by the silver notes of taps, you now that in every mans heart there is a prayer for a friend who has gone.

Probably more friends of Aggieland have been made by this simple act, often repeated, than by any other thing. An Aggie ' s handclasp, evidence of his desire to meet and now you, is another tradition—a wonderful tradition—that helps cement the Corps together and build that great intangible thing called “The Aggie Spirit. PICTURE BY RANSLEBEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS LEACHMAN, BREES, BRIGGS ’17, LAW ’95, BURNS ’04, WHITE ’95, KOKERNOT, DEMKE The welfare of the Students of A. M. College rests in the hands of a group of men whose actions and services have indicated that they have this responsibility foremost in their minds. These men, The Board of Directors, are appointed by the Governor of Texas for six years; and their many services and tireless efforts are rendered solely for the student body and the college. In rendering these services this group of men aid the college probably more than any other supervisory group. The Board has for its Chairman Dr. F. M. Law, President of The First National Bank of Houston; Mr. G. R. White, a banker and ranch¬ man of Brady, is Vice Chairman. Other members of the Board are H. L. Kokernot, Jr., R. W. Briggs, A. H. Demke, H. J. Brees, John C. Burns, D. S. Buchanan, and Neth L. Leachman. [ 33 ] GIBB GILCHRIST [ 34 } THE A. M. COLLEGE OF TEXAS COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS President ' s Office December 12, 1944 1 45 Jo the dcL S off ’46 Graduation from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas closes for each of you a chapter in the book of your lifetime. The first chapters started you in grade school, saw you graduate, go through high school, and then select the college of your choice. And now you are leaving, equipped with the tools we have been able to provide for erection of the cornerstone of your life as a citizen. While for many of you your first use of the knowledge and training you have received here will be devoted to the military or the war effort, bear in mind that while you were getting scholastic and military preparation for the future, you also were absorbing intangible training and develop ing traits of character that mark the men of Texas A. M. College. It is that “extra” training in character, comradeship and leadership that all Aggies receive which TjL - we sincerely hope will provide the added impetus to carry you safely over whatever obstacles the future may hold for you. As you leave this institution you carry with you our congratulations and our prayers for a wholesome and worthwhile career. When your immediate military tasks are completed rest assured that should you need refresher J J work before you launch your lifetime career, your college will be waiting your return. In the years to come we want you to return here and assist us in making this institution bigger and better. Good luck, Gibb Gilchrist, President. [ 35 ] F. C.

H. L. Heaton is directing this work as Acting Registrar in the ab¬ sence of Lt. Col. E. J. Howell, who was called to active military service in 1941. Assisting him is a capable staff of regular employees and a group of student assistants. THE FISCAL OFFICE The financial activities of the col¬ lege are handled in this office. Headed by Mr. C. A. Roeber, the fiscal office has done fine work in a job made doubly difficult by wartime conditions. A place is provided here for students to deposit their funds. Another func¬ tion of this office is the purchase of all the equipment and supplies used by the various departments on the campus. In addition to these regular duties, this department has established and is now supervising the fiscal de¬ partments of the three branch colleges. [ 43 ] J. W.

Students are charged by members of the Senior Class, and the Court determines their punishment. The idea that students themselves, rather than the Administration, have a better idea of how to deal with minor student problems is an idea that has proven very satisfactory as practiced by the Senior Court. It serves very well as a disciplining body for cases not handled in the outfit or by the Administration.

Social Secretary [ CHARLES HAENISCH THE CLASS OF ’4 6 We are the class of ’46, and this is our story: We first saw Aggieland in the sweltering summer of 1942, that first summer after Pearl Harbor. Some of us came from cities and some of us came from the country, some of us came from other states and some of us came from Texas. We were tall, short, fat, thin, and scared by the whole thing. We were green, but then the weeks began to pass. We began learning—more outside the classrooms than in them. We remember calisthenics in the early morning, long sessions on Saturday afternoons, endless numbers of people we met, the “handle” we were so proud of, the infinite maz;e of duties, and the growing feeling of pride. In September the second half of our class joined us and we bore our burdens together. Football season—the chills ran down our spines! We think back to that first long cold winter, the thrills of Aggie football, yelling until we could yell no more, college night, the corps trips, Turkey Day, then Christmas— we sang carols in the cold—back to school—not long to go, and, suddenly, Final Review. We were happy as we ripped off our “Fish Stripes,” but then our hearts were heavy. Though we did not know, we had become Aggies, and as we said goodbye to our seniors—some of the finest men we had ever known—we began to feel the true meaning of the spirit of Aggieland. We became Sophomores—our chests began to swell. We felt added responsibilities, new duties. We changed our “handles” to “Mister” and felt supremely wise as we went to work at teaching the new freshmen. We remember how dumb we thought they were, how we drilled long hours and whipped them into shape, how we became proud of them. Suddenly advanced R. O. T. C. was abolished. We saw our juniors and seniors inducted, then sent back to finish the semester. The days flew by—the semester ended —they left, and once again we said goodbye. The summer was hot again—outfits were broken up—we began getting into harder and harder work. One by one we began losing classmates. September rolled around and we were ready to don serge. We had lost more than half of our original number. Continued on TJe t Page [ 49 ] THE CLASS OF ’4 6 As juniors we worked together to keep Aggie tradition alive, and we succeeded. We saw the “Kiddie Korps” roll over every opponent except one, and on Turkey Day we heard Taps played on Kyle Field. We began to appreciate things we had not noticed before—the Academic Building in the moon light, the Administration Building at night—the little things about the campus that we had unconsciously come to love. On January 18, 1944, we buried Reveille at Kyle Field. An era in Aggie history had passed. Another semester began—we dug in and worked harder and harder. Slowly the Junior Prom rolled around. We didn’t quite realise how many of our class had gone until the dance. We missed old faces, old friends, old times. Now we are seniors. We are wearing our pinks and our boots, and our pride cannot be equalled. We have done our job well. Tonight we have come to the biggest event of our college life—our senior ring dance. We should be happy, and we are happy—until we think back and remember. We remember men we have known and loved like brothers, men who have given their lives that we might be here now. We remember, above all, what Aggie tradition means—honor, courage, loyalty—and we know that the burden of keeping that tradition alive rests on our shoulders. For them, those men of Aggieland who shall never return to their school, who shall never again see the campus they loved, we pledge to be forever loyal to the ideals we believe in—the ideals they fought and died for. Now if we close our eyes we can see their faces once again; we can hear their voices singing “We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we; true to each other as Aggies can be ... ” Our tears may flow, but they are tears of strength and pride. Those men are not forgotten, and they know, wherever they are, that they shall always be with us in our hearts. Look to the sun, you men of Aggieland ... The days ahead are dark, but we know that if we carry on until we have reached our goal ours will be the greater glory and the more triumphant victory.

Midnight yell practice the night before—Victory yell practice after the game, rain or shine — yell practice in front of the Rice, in front of the Ba er — “Lizzie.” There are a million things about a yell practice that are forever enshrined in an Aggie heart. It is truly a tradition—a great tradition—here at Aggieland. PICTURE BY DEMOPULOS ACTIVITIES STU DEflT ACTIVITIES CO ITI Al ITT E E ALLK ' BUTCHOFSKY HIGHTOWER WILCOX HAENISCH GRIFFIN LANGFORD HORSLEY F. C. BOLTON Chairman The Student Activities Committee was organ¬ ised in 1931 under the name of The Publications Board. At that time it controlled all student publi¬ cations, including the Battalion newspaper, the Battalion magazine, the Agriculturist and Engineer Magazines, and the Longhorn. In 1934 it became the Student Activities Committee and added to its duties were the supervision of all social events, Town Hall, and student clubs. Last year due to war restric¬ tions the committee voted to discontinue all publica¬ tions except the Battalion newspaper. This year the publication of the Longhorn was resumed. The committee is composed of four faculty members and live seniors chosen from the student body. [ 133] STUDEHT ACTIVITIES OFFICE L. M. COLLINS The Student Activities Office cooperates with the Activities Committee in managing the student publications and other student activities, especially the financial end. The functions of this office are. almost too numerous to list as it is one of the busiest on the campus. Mr. L. M. Collins, acting manager, guides the staffs of the publications, while Mr. W. M. Turner has charge of the Singing Cadets and the Aggieland Orchestra. The Student Activities Office provides a place in which all student organisations may keep their funds. Also, it has the task of compib ing the mailing lists for the different publications. At the present time this office is doing a splendid job of serving the Cadet Corps. [134] THE LOnGHORD The Longhorn was first published in 1895 under the title of The Olio. In 1903 it was renamed the Longhorn. Its publication this year was resumed after a lapse of one year, due to the difficulties encountered in procuring the materials necessary for publication. The purpose of this Longhorn, as of the ones in the past, is to preserve for the students a pictorial record of their life at Aggieland—their friends, their accomplishments, the events of the year—all that it is possible for us to provide. The success of this book must be judged by how well it serves this purpose. Editor..............................Marc B. Smith, Jr. Associate Editors..............Dwight H.

At the present time its membership is made up from the staffs of the Longhorn and the Battalion. In addition to promoting fellowship, the Press Club seeks to encourage the highest standards of journalism. The highlight of the club’s activities is the annual banquet, at which awards are presented in recognition of service on student publications. Officers President______________Dick Goad Secretary ' Treasurer__Alfred Jefferson [137] y mc r council G. B. WILCOX President Designed to encourage mental and physical development of the highest type by a program of discussions, lectures, and recreation, the YMCA Council takes an active part in A M campus life. Outstanding speakers are invited to appear before student discussion groups, treating a wide variety of subjects in order that the student may develop a better conception of the problems he must face both as a student and a citizen. The recreation program includes the ping pong tables, bowling lanes, billiard tables, and other facilities located in the basement of the “YT Also available to students are the reading rooms and lounges located in the building. Entertainment at a reasonable price is provided at Guion Hall. Members of the council are G. B. Wilcox, President, Daniel Russell, Ernest Langford, C. B. Godby, G. H. Queesenberry, and M. L. Cashion. [138] Ytncfl CflBiriET GEORGE C. WILLMAN President The YMCA Cabinet is a student discussion group sponsored by the YMCA Council. Its aim is to better acquaint the students with questions of importance in the world today. The discussions held by the Cabinet this year included one on the racial question and one concerning compulsory military training. This group also took part in the Religious Emphasis Week program. Officers were George C. Willman, Presi ' dent; J. H. Wall, Vice President; and Gregory H. Shifflette, Secretary. Members were S. A. Nixon, J. A. Coughran, J. M. Gay, D. P. Hanks, J. R. Broussard, R.

Under the direction of W. M. Turner, it has played at many of the activities here on the campus, including the Senior Ring Dance, and also on sev eral out of town occasions. The orchestra played in the Gunter Hotel for the dance sponsored by the San Antonio A ?M Club following the Texas Tech game, and also for the dance held in Gregory Gym preceding the Turkey Day game. They also made a trip to Baytown to play for the Humble Oil Company employees. Members of the orchestra are Eicholtz, Creighton, Forste, Herrera, Henry, Hoskins, Kindred, Langley, Lauterdale, Marshall, Mc Nair, Morgan, Oats, Petty, and Prater. [ 140] THE SinGIEIG CADETS BURL H. ERVIN President The Singing Cadets, Aggielands male choral organisation, are recognised as one of the outstanding male choruses in the southwest. Organised in 1939 by Professor J. J. Woolket, they are now headed by W. M. Turner. Burl Ervin was president this year. This organisation made several trips this year to present programs for various occasions. The first trip was to Baytown, where they sang for the Hum ' ble Oil Company’s employees. They also appeared at the Austin U. S. O., Camp Swift, Denton, and Huntsville. They furnished Town Hall with one program, and sang at several dances on the campus. C 141 ] TOWn HALL DAN HIGHTOWER Manager A M Town Hall is an organisation headed by students with the purpose of bringing the best entertainment available to the student body. Mam aged this year by Dan Hightower, it has brought some exceptionally fine performers to the Guion Hall stage. The first program of the season brought to A ?M the Footlight Favorites, a quartet of Metro ' politan Opera stars. Next came the Denton A Cap ' pella Choir with one of the finest programs of the year. They were followed in turn by Robert Casa ' desus, a famed and talented pianist, Leonard Warren, an excellent baritone, and then the Paul Draper ' Larry Adler dance and harmonica team. Aggieland’s own Singing Cadets provided a very enjoyable program, as did Rise Stevens of the Metropolitan Opera. The season was concluded by War Correspondent H. R. Knickerbocker, a former student, who made a very interesting talk on the present world conflict. [142] STUDEDT RID FUEID The Student Aid Fund this year continued to be a true reflection of Aggie Spirit. Organised in 1941 by students, its purpose is to give financial aid and assistance to students. One of its main functions is to obtain the best of medical care for Aggies who are unable to secure the necessary funds themselves. Originally financed by a drive in the corps, it has continued to grow from voluntary contributions. The Student Aid Fund is staffed by Dr. Daniel Russell, G. B. Wilcox, and J. W. Rollins. Students on the committee are C. A. Clark, S. L. Inz;er, R. D. Chenoweth, and C. T. Trickey, Jr. R. D. CHENOWETH Chairman [143] R m PRESS J. W. HALL The A M Press has the fundamental functions of service, cooperation, economy, and employment for as many students as conditions will permit. The college catalogues, bulletins, the Texas Aggie, the Battalion, and the Extension Service bulletins are among the publications printed in this office. This group also furnishes printing supplies for the college and its enterprises, prints football pn grams, Town Hall material, and countless other articles required by the college. The A M Press is headed by Mr. J. W. Hall. [ 144] PLRCEmEni OFFICE The Placement office has for its responsibility not only the aid of students who find it necessary to work while attending school, but also the placement of graduating seniors in jobs suited to their talents. It is impossible to even estimate the value of the work done by the placement office. Countless Ai M graduates who might have been unable to attend college had it not been for the assistance given them by this group are now serving both themselves and society in positions for which they are now qualified. The Placement Office is headed by W. R. Horsely. W. R. HORSELY [ 145 ] DEPRRTfTIEnT OF inFORmRTIOn G.

News of the student body and personnel, A M’s contribu¬ tions to higher education, A M’s agricultural re¬ searches and discoveries, A M’s athletic prowess— all are handled by the Department of Information. It is headed by G. B. Winstead, who is ably assisted by S. L. “Jack” Frost, Forestry; Laura Lane, Extension Service; A. D. Jackson, Experiment Sta¬ tion, and Stan Mayer, Radio. [146] ' ' RSSOCIRTIOn OF FORmER STUDERTS The Association of Former Students is the organized effort of A M graduates and ex-students to be of assistance to their institution and to keep alive in the hearts of all A M men the Aggie spirit of loyalty, friendliness, and cooperation. For over fifty years this group has been active, and has grown stronger as the years have passed and the ex-students have grown more numerous and more influential. Its main contacts with the student body are through its Student Loan Fund and its Placement office. The present officers are President Rufus R. Peeples, ’28, Vice President H. Dick Winters, T6, Executive Secretary E. E. McQuillen, ’20, and Assistant Secretary L. B. Locke, T8. [147] ■ ■■ STUDEDT PERSOnnEL OFFICE G. R. WILCOX The Student Personnel Office was organised in June, 1943, for the purpose of assisting new students to adjust themselves to their college environment, life in dormitories, attitudes toward the college administration in general, and their participation in extra ' curricula activities. Headed by G. B. Wilcox, the primary purpose of this group is to establish and maintain a close and friendly contact with the students. Its second function is to direct the student to the proper source for help in his work. This office also maintains a system of records on each student and a close contact with his parents. [ 148 ] SENIOR RING DRRCE r C very underclassman loo s forward to the day when he will go through the Ring, that big oval replica of the ring every Aggie graduate wears. As he passes through his date tables the ring from his finger and turns it around so that the class numerals face outward denoting the wearer as no longer an underclassman but a graduate. Then she isses him and they step through and a great moment has passed. The Senior Ring Dance is the biggest dance of the year, the biggest dance in Aggie life —not in numbers, but in memories and dreams. It is the point where he begins to tear away from the A M of reality and retire to an Aggieland of memories. And one thing every Aggie will remember is the time he passed through the Ring. PICTURE BY RANSLEBEN mvo —Painting by MISS MARIE HAINES 1931-1944 t [ 151 ] IMmORIAID “Reveille is gone.” These words, though hard to believe, are true, for on Tuesday, January 18, 1944, this plain non pedigreed dog, beloved by many thousands of Aggies the world over, passed away. With Reveille goes an era in the history of Aggieland. She saw Aggieland at its height, when more than eight thousand cadets knew her and loved her. She saw Aggieland at its ebb, when the darkness of war took many of her friends from her. Through her life she stood as a symbol of the great fraternity that has become hallowed in blood so many times— the Aggie brotherhood. Old timers remember, now with a small tear in the corner of their eye, the night when she was found by the side of the road and brought to the Aggie campus for the first time. The stories have become legend about her; how she used to wander into the freshmen’s rooms and how any bed she chose was hers, the owner finding other quarters for the night; how she used to seek out unhappy Aggies and attempt to cheer them up by bringing a stick that they could throw and she could return; how she learned to love the color of khaki and to know that anyone wearing it was her friend; how she used to prance in front of the great Aggie band at football games and be the idol of everyone there. Reveille was more than just a dog. She was a symbol in the memory of every boy who stopped to pet her, a symbol that reminded one of the pup left behind at home, and a reminder of the many other things left behind in the search for greater knowledge. Rev stood for something [ 152 ] worth fighting for, something that boys in foxholes could think about, for she meant to them not only a remembrance of Aggieland, but the memory of home, of the old familiar paths once loved so well in boyhood, of the girl who trusted and waited, of Mom and Dad and Uncle John and Aunt Susie—these things lived in Rev. Above all Rev was loved because as boys became men they realized that there was a link of friendship between a man and his dog, a friendship that could last forever, for when no one else would give consolation, when no one else would be friendly, in happiness or despair, riches or poorness, a man’s dog was always near to him, always ready to be his loyal friend and companion. And now Reveille is gone. There is no doubt that she has an honored spot reserved for her in the Great Beyond of the canine world, and though we are grieved to lose her we know that she will be happy there. Aggieland has preserved her memory in a painting, and in future years when upper ' classmen and freshmen and Aggie-Exes shall stand together beneath that painting those same stories will flow forth again to renew Rev’s glory. As the years go on and time cloaks Aggieland with its mystic touch, there shall always be things we can remember—the Academic Building in the moonlight, Sully, Military Walk—and Rev. And when sometimes an Aggie may be lonely in a far away land he will hear, as the evening shadows slowly fall, the silver notes of the bugle sounding retreat; and the memory will again return; the Spirit of Aggieland will sound dimly, far away, and he will think of her. Rev, rest well, for Aggieland shall never forget. By Harold Borofsky [153] WHO George Strickhausen III CADET COLONEL 1944 CORPS COMMANDER Andrew C.

The whole Corps at its best passing in Review — sad goodbyes to some of the best fellows you’ve ever nown —Auld Lang Syne. Although the war has practically eliminated Final Review, it is not forgotten—and it never will be. This page is dedicated to the day when once again boots will be lined up for a quarter of a mile and the Corps will number seven thousand rather than fifteen hundred. PICTURE BY DEMOPULOS The war brought many changes to A. and M., and the cadet corps felt the full impact of these changes. For a time it was in a state of partial dismemberment, but due to the united effort of the student body, the corps, as it had been in the past, was revived. On the following twelve pages we present those men who were most instrumental in its restora tion. [177] GEORGE STRICKHAUSEN III Corps Commander Corps Staff LT. COL. CALVIN E.

M. is an advisory committee for all matters concerning athletics. The inauguration of the required Physical Education program has added another burden to the shoulders of these men. The members make arrangements for all athletic events and schedules, employ the coaching staff, provide the necessary facilities and equipment, decide the eligibility and awards regarding the players, and see that the policies of sportsmanship are always carried out. For many years Dean E. J. Kyle headed this committee. This year he resigned after heading the committee for the past 7 years. Dean Kyle was succeeded by Mr. C. W. Crawford as Chairman. Other members of this committee are Charles N. Shepardson, J. W. Rollins, James A. Reynolds, A. B. KnicD erbocker, Homer H. Norton, and R. L. Butchofsky, student representative. These men strive to give due consideration to everything that comes before them, and it is they who have helped to bring athletic fame to the Aggies. [219] YELL STRLL The job of leading the twelfth man in that ole “Aggie Spirit” fell to Hays Stripling. He did his job well, and along with J. R. Wade, Senior yell leader, Dan McGurk and Bob Seyle, Junior yell leaders, had the Corps of 2000 yelling as hard and as loud as in the days of yore when the Corps was 7000. Leading the Corps as Head Yell Leader is a very tough job because win or lose the Aggies just don’t know how to quit yelling. These four men are owed a word of thanks for the good work that they did during the season. They probably wouldn’t accept it because Aggies don’t need or want praise for sup ' porting athletic teams that represent a place they hold dear to them. That place is Aggieland. Hats off to four swell guys and the best of luck to them always. ( 220 ] r DAMON TASSOS MONTE MONCRIEF Co ' Captains [221] In 1921 Homer Hill Norton started his football coaching career at Centenary College. He held the job of head coach through the 1920 and 1921 seasons, but he stepped down to assistant coach for the seasons from 1922 to 1926. He again took over the duties as head coach in 1926 when Bo McMillan resigned. He served as head coach at Centenary from 1926 through the 1933 seasons at which time Norton resigned to accept the duties of head coach at A M. While at Centenary Norton compiled the enviable record of 61 wins, 16 losses, and 13 ties. In 1937 Norton hit the headlines, for the first time at A M when he had the pleasure of seeing Joe Routt, the 194 pound Cadet guard, named as one of the two best guards in the nation. Norton once said “Fm not ashamed to admit that one of the best and finest things a coach does is to develop character. 11 Norton has been very successful while at A ?M, winning the Conference title in 1939, tieing with SMU for the title in 1940, and winning again in 1941. His 1939 squad won the National Champion¬ ship by going through an undefeated, untied season. Norton’s record of 69 wins, 33 losses, and 8 ties is envied by every other Conference coach. [ 222 ] THE TEXAS A6?M FOOTBALL SQUAD All preseason dope predicted the 1944 Aggies to be the weak team of the Conference. Most of the so ' Called experts picked the Cadets to finish no higher than fourth in conference competition. Always good at upsetting dopesters the Aggies finished in third place behind TCU and Texas U. The Aggies opened practice sessions with only four lettermen holdovers from the 1943 team. However, this number was bolstered by nine squadmen. Again, as in 1943, Freshmen provided the majority of men for the coaches to select their team from. Because the boys were so much bigger and faster than in 1943, Coach Norton decided to try the versatile “T” formation, instead of the conventional single wing, as the offensive formation. Norton said that should he find a competent passer his Aggies might prove a hard team to beat. He found his man in James Cashion, who was born and raised on the Campus. As the records will testify Cashion did a great job in his important position as quarterback and passer. Bobby Goff developed into the most dangerous kicker in the Con ' ference, averaging better than 40 yards per try in most of the games. As expected, Butchofsky played up to his 1943 standards, as did Monte Moncrief who made All-Conference. Monte’s runningmate, huge Charles Shira, also proved very valuable. After putting his 1944 charges through a month of hard practice, Coach Homer H. Norton declared that the Cadets were ready for the season opener against Bryan Army Air Field. While not making any outright predictions, Norton said that this season would prove to be a very interesting one. Aggie chances at the Conference flag went up in smoke when they fumbled away games to Arkansas and TCU. However, the Aggies took the field determined to break the Memorial Field Jinx on Thanksgiving Day. The Texas line thought different. One Aggie touchdown was called back by the referee. Once with first down on the Texas two yard line the Longhorn line held the Cadets to downs so the ball went over to TU, and the Cadets again listened to Silver Taps on Memorial Field. Tassos and Moncrief were elected Captains. Moncrief made All-Conference and was honorable mentioned on sev¬ eral All-American teams. Cashion was elected the most valuable player, and the coaches voted “Cotton” Howell the team’s best blocker. Coaches: BILL JAMES, HOMER NORTON, MANNING SMITH flggies Open Season with UUin Over BRflF The 1944 version of the Texas Aggie football machine opened up its campaign with a rousing 39 ' 0 win over weak Bryan Army Air Field. This game, however, was closely watched, not only by the Cadet Corps, but by rival Conference members as well. As weak as the BAAF Ducks were the Aggies showed flashes of power and brilliance. The 1944 line will be sparked by center Bob Gary, tackle Monte Moncrief, and end Clarence Fiowell. The backfield was inexperienced, but Bob Butchofsky, Jim Cashion, Paul Yates, and Bob Goff were due for large doses of playing. The Aggie scoring got under way when Moncrief blocked a Duck punt on the BAAF 19. Golf and Yates collaborated to put the ball on the 5, first and goal to go. Two plays later Yates carried over from the two. In the second quarter the Cadets were stopped when Swank recovered a fumble on his own 16. Locke kicked out for the Ducks to midTeld. Two plays later Paul Yates got loose and went 45 yards to score. Later in the same period Cashion shot a 15 yard pass to Clarence Howell who raced 36 yards for the score. This time Abraham converted. As the half ended the Cadets led 19T. The only score in the third period was Bob Butchofsky’s 25 [ 224 ] SHIRA yard jaunt around right end. Later on a pass from Cashion to Goff, Goff fumbled and Ross recovered for the Ducks On their own 11. Here the Aggies bogged down and the Ducks sprang to life to chalk up three first downs, their first of the game. Pflasterer tore away for 33 for the first. Then Pflasterer went 7 and Locke 3 for t he second. The third was a gift from the Aggies. They were penalised 15 yards for roughing. The Ducks then took to the air. After three attempts they kicked over the goal, the Aggies taking over on their own twenty. On first down the ball was handed off to Goff, who broke over tackle and out ran A arella to cross the BAAF goal untouched. Three Aggie fumbles following Goff’s run prevented further damage, but a fumble recovered by Cashion on the Duck 1 yard line evened things up. Cashion, on a quarterback sneak, scored. The conversion was missed, leaving the score 33-0. The final Cadet threat came on a 33 yard run by Paul Yates, but another fumble ended the last threat and the game. The Aggie case of “Fumbleitis” began early in the season. The Aggie backfield fumbled 7 times in this game to start all the trouble that lasted throughout the season until the SMU game. BUTCHOFSKY LOOKS ON AS SPIRES FIGHTS OFF DUCKS TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Cadets Come from Behind to UJin from Tech The Texas Aggies had to come from behind to beat a stubborn Texas Tech eleven 2744. With two minutes to play the Aggies stormed down the field to add the winning margin, capitalizing on a Tech fumble on the Red Raider 30 yard line. Paul Yates and Monte Moncrief sparked the Aggies. The AlbConference tackle Moncrief played his usual brilliant game to lead the Cadet forward wall. The Aggies scored their first touchdown after only two minutes of the game had been played. Cashion passed to Goff to set the stage for Yates to plunge the ball over for the score. Abraham missed his try for conversion. The Aggies scored again a few minutes later on a thirty eight yard pass from Cashion to Gene Spires for the tally. Abraham converted to give the Cadets a 13T lead. Tech never got out of their own end of the field for the first half. But the third quarter told a different story. Tech took to the air and finally one of Gene Hardey’s passes clicked. It was a 35 yard pass to Art Shahan. Schlinkman converted to put the score ELLIS -.-V [ 226 ] • ' HIGGINS 13 ' 7 in favor of the boys from Aggieland. A few minutes later the Red Raiders struck again. This time Hardey passed 25 yards to Don Dudley. Schlinkman again split the uprights to give the Red Raiders a one point advantage, 14T3. Sparked by Mason Matthews the Aggies drove 35 yards to score what proved to be the winning touchdown early in the fourth period. The Aggies came back to score again a few minutes later. Mitchell recovered a Tech fumble on the Raiders 30 yard line. Yates and Goff took over to carry the ball to the Tech 10 yard line. In two tries by Yates, the first for 3, then around right end for 7, the Aggies scored. Abraham kicked his third conversion, making the final score 27 14. The Aggies came out of the Tech game with several injuries. The most serious and most important one was the broken jaw suffered by “Butch” Butchofsky. Butch was a regular last year and was counted on for big things again this year. However, if he plays at all the rest of the season it will be with a special helmet of the type worn by Frank Sinkwich, the Georgia All American. MATTHEWS HOWELL DOWNS HIS MAN AS MONCRIEF APPROACHES UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS SPIRES Oklahoma Power Defeats Aggies 21-14 The Texas Aggies pulled everything in the book, from hideouts to reverses on punt-returns, but to no avail, as they fell, defeated by powerful and experienced Oklahoma University, 21-14. Sparked by Deraid Lebow and Gene Heard, the Sooners had not too much trouble in pulling away from the Aggies. The Aggies had the ball just outside the Sooner twenty several times, but just didn’t have the required scoring punch to push the ball over the goal. The Oklahomans struck pay dirt in the first period on a sustained drive sparked by Lebow. Despite a stout Aggie defense inside the 5 yard stripe, Lebow skirted off tackle for a yard on fourth down to score. The conversion made the score 7-0. The Sooners scored early in the second period to take a 14-0 lead. It again took them four plays to make the final yards before striking pay dirt. Shortly before the half the Cadets struck back on a pass from Bobby Goff to Gene Spires that went for 44 yards and a touchdown. The Cadets left the field at the half seven points behind. Coming back strong the Cadets struck early in the third period to tie the game at 14-all. With Monte Moncrief sparking the line to blocking heights the Cadets began to march. Cashion handed off -j: I m GRAY, [ 228 ] BUTCHOFSKY first to Yates then Goff and occasionally to Scott. These boys ripped huge holes in the faltering OU line. Yates scored on a buck over guard that culminated an 80 yard march. O. U. took the kickoff and scored the winning touchdown 13 plays later. Lebow shot short passes to Wooten for 14, Wooten for 10, and to Dollarhide for 15 to put the ball on the Cadet 22. Lebow then took over and hit the Cadet forward wall four times behind superb blocking by Smalley and Cummings to score. The Aggies never ceased to fight. They called on fresh backs and began pushing the ball upfield on the running of “Stubby” Matthews and Cashion’s 18 yard pass to “Cotton” Howell, only to have a fourth down pass knocked down. With two and oneTalf minutes to play, Cashion handed the ball to Matthews who swept end for 11 yards to put the ball in midfield. With time for two plays Cashion faded back and flipped a long pass that was batted out of his receiver’s hands by Lebow. On the last play of the game, Cashion was trapped far behind the line as he faded to pass. The inexperienced Aggies played hard and well against the experienced and powerful Sooner eleven. After the game Coach Norton said that in his opinion “his boys” looked good, but were beaten by the experience of the Sooners. LEAGUE AGGIES ON WAY TO ONE OF NINE TOUCHDOWNS AGAINST N.T.A.C. LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY TIGERS Tigers Bow to Aggie Power Cashing in their third scoring chance early in the third period the Aggies defeated a stubborn Tiger crew 7-0. Paul Yates swept the L. S. U. left end for 10 yards and the lone touchdown of the game. This end sweep completely fooled the Louisiana boys because heretofore the Aggies had restricted their plays to between the tackles when in scoring position, and why not? Didn’t the Aggies have 230 pound Charles Shira and 210 pound AlhConference Monte Montcrief playing tackle for them? The Aggies wasted a scoring chance late in the first quarter. After Bobby Goff quickTicked 50 yards over the head of a sleepy Tiger safety, the ball rolled dead on the L. S. U. 28. Bill Geer, on the next play, fell on Sandifer’s fumble to give A M the ball on the Tiger 26. Showing tremendous drive Yates crashed over center for 12 yards and a first down on the 14. Four tries later, with Yates carrying each time, the Cadets had gained only 7 yards so the Bengals took over on their own 7. Tittle kicked out and Gene Spires returned 8 to the Tiger 33. After George McAllister got 8, Mann Scott cut over right guard for a first down on the Bengal 13. Three tries took the ball down to the 4. On fourth down Cashion, on a quarterback sneak, fumbled with Tittle, recovering on the Tiger 2. SCOTT [ 230 ] HOWELL Knight kicked out to Cashion. Then Cashion fumbled again with Tullos recovering on the Aggie 44. It was the first time the Louisiana boys had been out of their end of the field. Cason swept the Aggie left end f or 23 yards and a first down on the 21. On fourth down Cason passed to Sigrest for a first down on the Aggie 11. Rowan made 3 then Cason swept left end for 6 leaving the ball 2 yards from a score. Here the Cadets stiffened. Rowan lost 4, and on fourth down Gene Knight was thrown for an 11 yard loss by Montcrief on an attempted reverse. On the second play of the third period Rowan’s fumble was recovered by “Cotton” Howell on the Tiger 31. This time the Cadets were not to be denied. Three plunges got 5 and on fourth down Yates broke off left tackle to reach the 14. Parmer and Yates moved the ball to the 10 where Yates broke loose around left end for 10 yards and the touchdown. Art Abrahams came into the game and converted the extra point. The game ended A M 7, Louisiana State U. 0. As usual Monte Montcrief was the outstanding lineman on the field. Monte shown brilliantly on defense. In the backfield Bob Butchofsky blocked with ferocity, and Paul Yates showed the drive that made him the Conference’s high scorer. SCOTT ADVANCES AGAINST DETERMINED TIGER RESISTANCE TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY HORNED FROGS SHEETS McAllister Cadet Fumbles Rid Horned Frog Victory The Texas Aggies fumbled away a ball game in the first half °f Aggie-T. C. U. game. The Texas Christian Horned Frogs capitah izing on Aggie fumbles ran up a score of 13-7, however, it took the final timers 1 gun to insure the Frogs of victory. A last minute pass from Jim Cashion to Mann Scott was knocked down as the final gun pierced the ears of wildly yelling Aggie supporte rs and Cadets. The Aggies fumbled 9 times in the first half with the Frogs recovering 7 of them. After the half the Cadets settled down and looked like a different ball club. If games were decided on statistics the Cadets would have won easily. They led in every department. First downs were 16 to 9; rushing yardage was 205 to 91; passing yardage was 123 to 120. The Aggies were never forced to kick, but two beautiful quick kicks from the toe of Bobby Goff averaged 63 yards. The Frogs punted 9 times to average 22 yards. In the first quarter Cadet fumbles stopped sustained drives. Goff dropped one giving T. C. U. the ball on the Aggie 25. Scott [ 232 ] DARNELL broke loose and ran past midfield a minute later after a pass inter ception by Aggie center Bob Gary, but when tackled he let the ball squirt into the hands of a waiting Frog. In the second period the Cadets blocked a kick on the Horned Frog 20, but Yates lost the ball on a fumble on the next play. A few plays later the Aggies took over on their own 30 after a fourth down kick. On their first play from scrimmage Mason Matthews fumbled and Joe Kucera recovered for the Frogs. Kucera then threw a pass to Merle Gibson on the Cadet 10 from where the Frogs powered it over. The second Frog score came in the third period when Kucera again unlimbered his throwing arm on a delayed pass and hit Gibson for a 35 yard marker. The Aggie touchdown was scored on a sustained drive from the kickoff following the second Frog score. The kickoff went out of bounds so the Aggies took over on their own 3 5. Goff and Scott collaborated to place the ball on the TCU 47. Here Cashion faded back and unleashed a 20 yard pass to Clarence (Cotton) Howell on ♦ the Frog 15. Bob Butchofsky went to the 12 and in three plays Paul Yates carried over for the score. Art Abrahams converted. The Aggies never ceased to fight, and were in scoring position when the final gun sounded. KINGERY DUCKS SUCCEED IN STOPPING AGGIES FOR ONE PLAY EBERLE Junior Aggies Swamped, 61-0 The Aggies ran wild in every quarter to outplay our “Little Brothers” 61-0. The NT AC line was torn to shreds by an angry Aggie backfield and forward wall. Still smarting under the defeat at the hands of the Horned Frogs, our team was too much for the boys from North Texas. We scored at will throughout the game, but were content to rest during the last quarter and kick on the first or second down. The most sensational play of the day came on an 80 yard punt return by Paul Yates for a touchdown. Yates, taking the NTAC punt on his own 20, hesitated while his interference formed then ran the ball 80 yards for the score. The Senior Aggies built their scoring up to a peak for a single quarter in the second period by scoring 33 points. They tapered off ABRAHAMS [ 234 ] to 15 points in the third, and went scoreless in the last period. The Cadet fourth stringers played the entire last period. Mann Scott and Clarence Howell were the high scorers for the Aggies. Each scored two touchdowns. Bob Butchofsky, Paul Yates, Tom Daniels, George McAllister, and Bill Geer counted the remaining touchdowns. Scott, Cadet right half, counted his two touchdowns on end runs of 45 and 43 yards; and end Cotton Howell blocked a punt, scooped it up, and ran for a counter to chalk up his first score. His second marker came in the third period when he caught a pass in the end 2,one. The last Cadet score came as the finale of a 62 yard run of a pass interception by Morton Shefts. Gene Spires then fired two passes, one to Don Kingery and one to Bill Geer, for the score. The boys from North Texas Agricultural College were roundly outplayed, outweighed, and out smarted the entire game; but they continued to try and to fight back until the final gun. CHERNO NICHOLAS ABRAHAM KICKS EXTRA POINT AGAINST DUCKS GOFF PREPARES TO FIGHT OFF JUNIOR AGGIES YEARGAIN Long Pass and Fumbles LUin for Porkers A 25 yard pass in the third period plus an epidemic of Ag gie fumbles gave Arkansas a 7 ' 6 victory over the Cadets. The Aggies fumbled seven times with Arkansas recovering six of them. The pass was thrown by Gordon Long to Alton Baldwin. Baldwin had worked behind the Cadet center, Hub Ellis, and caught the pass after it bounded off Ellis’ hands. Jim Young booted the extra point that proved to be the margin of victory. A. M. also scored with the help of a fumble. This time Bayne of Arkansas fumbled and Bob Butchofsky recovered on the Ra or- backs 31. Three tries at the line failed and then on fourth down Jim Cashion faded back and fired a pass to the glue fingered Cotton Howell who carried to the Porker 6. Then on third down Scott crossed the goal for the marker. Art Abraham’s try for point hit the horizontal bar of the goal post and bounded back. After Arkansas scored the Aggies fought back. Cashion re- YATES [ 236 ] HORNE turned the kickoff to the 37, and a roughing penalty put the ball on the Arkansas 40. Paul Yates and Mann Scott made it first down on the 20. Yates made nine and then five. Scott then made it first down on the 14. Then came one of those pesky fdmbles with Cope recovering for Arkansas on the 15. In the closing minutes the Aggies threatened twice. They took a punt on the Arkansas 44. Butchofsky fought his way to a first down on the 31. On the next play Mike Schumchyk recovered a fumble on the Arkansas 32. Then with a minute to play Tom Daniel subbed for Jim Cashion and shot a 42 yard pass to Bob Goff on the Arkansas 30. On the next play Gordon Long, a thorn in the Aggies side all day, intercepted a pass and returned to the midfield putting the game on ice. A. M. could and did, run against the Razorbacks, but every time they took to the air, their drive was stopped by either a fumble or a pass interception. Bob Goff stood out for the Cadets with his fine punting, sailing the ball far down the field time after time. DENTON MATTHEWS RUNS WILD AGAINST JUNIOR AGGIES SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY MUSTANGS STALSBY Rggies Run Roughshod Over mustangs Displaying one of the deadliest aerial attacks of the season the Texas Aggies defeated the SMU Mustangs 39 ' 6. This was the Aggies sixth consecutive win over the Mustangs. A fair idea of the Cadet aerial power shows in the statistics. Eleven times the Aggies fired—and on 9 occasions they connected for a better than 80% average. The nine aerials were good for an average of 17 yards each. However, this does not show the fighting power of the Cadet line. The Aggie line sparked by Monte Mont- crief and Morton Shefts held the Mustangs at length to give the Cadet passers plenty of time to spot receivers. The Mustangs were outclassed in all departments. On the ground the Cadets rolled up 215 yards to 161 for the Herd. The Cadets boasted a big punting average over SMU, 35.6 to 25.6. In fact the only department the Aggies were outclassed in was first downs. The Ponies held a 13T2 advantage in that department. Jim Cashion and Jim Parmer were the big guns for the Aggies. Cashion fired his passes with rifle accuracy; Parmer showed a tremendous amount of drive in his initial appearance of the season. Cashion had plenty of help from Clarence Howell, the glue-fingered pass-snatcher, on his aerials. The Aggies threatened in the opening period, but it wasn’t until the second chapter that they found the range, and then they poured it on, scoring three times and adding two extra points. A M lost the ball on the Mustang 4 yard line midway of the first period after a couple of sensational runs by Parmer had aided in an 80 yard push. Later they again threatened, but Yates fumbled on the Pony 18 where a Mustang pounced on the loose ball. The second period was different. Joe Sacra recovered a fumble ALLEN [ 238 ] BRICE on the Pony 30 yard line. The Cadets erased some nifty pass gains by drawing two 15 yard penalties, but Parmer crashed to the 16 in two plays, from which point Cashion started around right end, cut back, and went over for the score. Abraham’s conversion was good. A few minutes later Afe?M gained possession of the ball on their own 48, where Cashion started shooting aerials to Howell. The score came on a pass from Cashion to Howell, who was deep in the SMU end zone. The third score came after the Cadets took a punt on their own 35 and smashed back to their own 49 in three plays. At this point Cashion took the ball, on a play similar to the one that scored the first touchdown, and lateralled to Goff, who streamed 51 yards down field to score. Abraham converted to give the Cadets a 20-0 lead at the half. The fourth marker came at the end of the third period, when Cashion took a punt on the A M 40, lateralled to Goff, who raced 60 yards to pay dirt behind some nifty blocking by Clarence Howell. A pass from Daniels to Scott made number five; and a blocked punt by Darnell, who snatched the ball up himself and dashed 30 yards to score, accounted for the remaining Aggie scores. The Mustangs finally cashed in near the end of the fourth period, Cunningham crashing over from the 1 yard line to climax a 40 yard march sparked by passes from Squires to Kendrich. The case of “Fumbleitis,” which had hitherto bothered the Aggies, failed to show up in this game. On the two previous week¬ ends a total of 16 fumbles cost them two ball games, but this game was a different story. Despite the high score the game was a good one to watch, and proved very interesting because it showed what the Cadets could do if they put their minds to the task. WALKER YATES ADVANCES BEHIND GOOD BLOCKING AGAINST MUSTANGS LONG SPARKMAN Owls Defeated 19-6 in Rain A strong Aggie line led by AlbConference Monte Montcrief bottled up the Rice offensive in their own territory for three quarters, to win 19 ' 6. Playing what virtually amounted to a IRman line and aided by long punts from the toe of Bobby Goff, Rice never crossed the midfield line until the Cadets led 19 ' 0 in the fourth quarter. Gambling on aerials Rice found the only weakness in the Cadet armor to be a weak pass defense. Scruggs passed to Bob Smith for 56 yards and a touchdown. Smith pulled in the pass from between two Cadet defenders and raced the remaining distance. Passes put the Cadets in position for their first touchdown in the second quarter, but Paul Yates scored on a 14 yard jaunt around the Rice left end. He pulled away from H. J. Nichols after appar- ently being stopped behind the line. The Aggies went 60 yards for their second marker with passes [ 240 ] MITCHELL accounting for 49 of them. The payoff was a 5 yard pass from Cashion to Cotton Howell, who was all alone in the end z;one. i. The final score was a gift from the Owls. Goff punted 48 yards out of bounds on the Owl 3 yard line. Monte Moncrief, big Aggie tackle, covered Scruggs 1 fumble on the 6 inch line and Cashion went over for the score on a quarterback sneak. Art Abraham con ' verted for the Aggies. It took the Owls more than 3 periods to discover the weak link in the Aggie chain. When they did discover the weak pass defense they filled the air with aerials and finally converted one into a score. Monte Moncrief was the outstanding lineman on the field. He outplayed all opposing linemen, but Nichols showed his worth for the Owls. One of his mistakes gave the Cadets a score, when Yates stiff armed him before going over for the touchdown. The Aggie line successfully bottled up George Walmsley, the Rice speedster, for the entire game. MIZELL RICE OWL WATCHES AS HOWELL CATCHES TOUCHDOWN PASS m . ■ UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS LONGHORNS LIPKE Jinx Intact as Longhorns UUin 6-0 For the fifth consecutive year, and for the third time in the past five years on Memorial Stadium, a heavily favored football machine from A ?M was defeated by a Longhorn eleven. Two thousand wildly yelling Cadets and eleven gridders were unable to push the ball over the Texas U. goal, as the Longhorns defeated A ?M 6-0 on Turkeyday 1944. The Texas line made a great goal line stand late in the fourth period to stave off a major Aggie threat. With only six minutes to play, Joe Scott plowed down to the Texas two yard line for a first down. Thousands of Aggie supporters yelled, until the referee had to quiet them, for an Aggie touchdown. A jinx and a great goal line stand stopped them. With first down on the two, Cashion handed the ball to Scott who rammed center and gained not a foot. Second down saw Mason- “Stubby” Matthews crash center for a gain of only a scant foot. On third down Bobby Goff took a lateral and tried to race right end, but the Texas line rose up like a stone wall to throw him for a 2 yard loss. On the crucial fourth down James Cashion elected to pass. He faded back behind right end; apparently finding no open receivers he tried to run the ball. He fumbled as two men hit him, but he recovered his own fumble on the Longhorn 14. The ball went over on downs. So ended the main Aggie threat and almost the ball game. It was a beautiful game to watch, hard fought every second of the way, and there was ground gained aplenty despite the relatively small score. Texas scored early in the game. Paul Yates, Aggie back, who was injured early in the game, tried to run back the booming kick¬ off, from the toe of Harlan Wets, from behind his own goal. He was nailed on the Aggie two yard line. Goff kicked out beautifully. RETTIG [ 242 ] REAGAN but Evans returned to the Aggie 36 before being downed. Layne faded and shot a 27 yard pass to Watson, Texas end, for a first down on the Aggie 9. Layne again faded to pass, but seeing all of his receivers covered, he elected to run the ball around his right end. He broke loose diving over to score just as he was hit. Diminutive Rooster Andrews’ try for extra point was blocked, but he picked the ball up and attempted to run the ball. The seerm ingly huge Moncrief tackled him. The Aggies fought back, never quitting. Shortly after taking the kickoff following the lone score of the game Cashion sailed a pass from the Aggie 43 to Goff, who took it in the left flat and raced 57 yards down the left side line to score only to see his efforts turned to naught as the play was called back and the Cadets penal¬ ised for backfield in motion. Two other threats came in the closing minutes of the third quarter. Once Tom Daniels’, who had subbed for James Cashion, pass to tall Oscar White was missed by inches near the Texas goal line. Another time Daniels’ pass into the end sone to White was deflected a few inches, to cause the ball to bounce off of his shoulder. And still another time, early in the fourth quarter, Cashion bounced a pass out of the hands of White who was waiting in the Texas end zone. For a low scoring game, this was one of the most thrilling in the colorful Aggie-Longhorn series. It was plainly offensive but both lines rose to the occasion when its goal line was threatened. Monte Moncrief, Damon “Greek” Tassos, Bob Gary, and George White were Aggie stalwarts in the forward wall while James Cashion and Bobby Goff stood out in the backfield. Wetz, Layne, and Evans stood out for the Longhorns. CARTER AGGIES ADVANCE TO SMEAR LONGHORN BACK GOFF FUMBLES AS DETERMINED HORNED FROGS SMASH THROUGH Rggies Swamp ITIiami Hurricanes 70-14 The 1944 Texas Aggies closed the football season with a rousing 70 ' 14 win over weak Miami University Hurricanes. Time was no element in the win, but helped muclvscored on Miami to hold the powerful Aggies to as close a game as possible. Scoring at will the Cadets pushed over 25 points before Miami came to life and scored on a long pass. The Aggies scored their first touchdown 4 plays after the opening kickoff on a sixty yard run by Joe Scott. The play was a handoff from James Cashion, a great quarterback under the “T.” Walter ‘ ' ‘ ' Country” Higgins converted for a 7 ' 0 lead. The second marker came after Scott took Cashion’s 10 yard pass to score. This culminated a 51 yard march. Damon “Greek” Tassos’ attempted con ' version was blocked. Substitutes then took over and it wasn’t much later before James Parmer, from our neighboring state of Oklahoma, scored his first touchdown of the game. Again “Greek’s” attempt for conversion failed. Shortly before the quarter ended Tom Daniels, who had substituted for Jimmy Cashion, flipped a 16 yard pass to Gene Spires for the third score. Spires ran twenty ' seven yards before crossing the double stripe of the Miami goal line. Joe Sacra, a guard, dropped back from his position in the line to try for the extra point. He was slightly rushed so his kick went wide. Just after the second quarter ended Miami threatened, but Coach Homer H. Norton rushed in his first stringers to stop the Hurricanes. Miami, sensing the fresh strength against them, stopped themselves with poor playing. Miami, however, scored their first touchdown going 73 yards in 4 plays with Gus Diliens passing first to A1 Hudson and then to Paul Hildreth. Diliens tossed a pass to Hudson for 19, to Hildreth for 23, and then Hudson took one over his shoulder at the goal line for the touchdown. Barrington plunged over for the point making the score 25 ' 7. That was the half, but in the third period Parmer tallied from the foot line after Howell had recovered a fumble on the Miami 24. Less than two minutes later “Butch” Butchofsky took a nineteen yard pass from Cashion for the touchdown to bring the score to 38 ' 7. Tom “Sleepy” League and Butchofsky collaborated for the next score. League blocked a Miami punt on the sixteen and two plays later Butchofsky carried the pigskin over from the four. George McAllister missed his try at the extra point. The second Miami touchdown came with the score 5L7 against them. The Aggies had kicked and Walter Watt, after doing a double reverse on the punt, eluded all the Aggie tacklers and raced 87 yards to score. John Lane could have stopped Watt on the ten, but he threw up his hands and seemed to say “Let them have the score.” The Aggies continued their touchdown barrage by taking advantage of Hurricane miscues and a weak defense to roll up a score of 70 ' 14. Watt was the Miami standout, playing his best. He could do but little against the strong Aggie Forward wall. Monte Moncrief sparked the line as did Joe Scott in the backfield. Scott was high scorer for the game with four touchdowns. MURNANE Student Manager [ 244 ] [245] Manning Smith, affectionately known as “Smitty, ' ” came to A M in 1934 as assistant backfield coach and freshman basketball coach. Marty Karow, after one season as basketball coach, left to join the navy, leaving the school without a basketball coach. Smith was appointed to fill the vacancy. The newly appointed coach took over his new duties in 1943 and had a very successful season. During the basket ball games “Smitty” sits with his chin in his hand studying the opposition’s defense. As soon as he senses a weakness, he immediately takes advantage of the substitution rule. The 1945 edition of his team ended the season with but two wins in Conference competition. But this is not due to any lack of work on Smith’s part, for each afternoon during the season “Smitty” may be found in the gym, dressed in basketball shorts, working out with his squad. [ 246 ] TEXAS AGGIE BASKETBALL TEAM Living up to all of the preseason dope, the 1945 Aggie basketball team finished runner-up to Baylor for last place. Coach Manning Smith fielded a hustling ball club, however. Smitty, a former basketball star in college, rightly figured that a hustling basketball team can often upset a superior team. Even though the Aggies upset no one, they did hustle and try all of the way. Service teams composed all of the Cadet nomConference competition this season. The Aggies lost most of these games, but they did win once from the strong Bergstrom Field team 34 to 30. Most of the service teams boasted former alhAmerican and all-Conference players, but the Aggies could not boast in this manner. ELLIS WHITE GOAD The Aggies were often accused of playing rough, but they never did this intentionally because Coach Smith taught only the clean ways of playing. Smitty is noted for the clean teams he has produced. Over the season Charlie Weinbaum scored the most points for the Aggies, but Oscar White and diminutive Bill McCormick were not far behind. Weinbaum was the only holdover from the 1944 season, and he used his one year’s experience to great advantage. He and McCormick were the steadiest performers for the Aggies. The Aggies opened the 1945 season on January 6 with a 53 to 22 loss to the Rice Owls. Tall Bill Henry was the Owl point-maker, scoring all of his points in less than three-quarters of the game. The first of the Aggies two Conference wins came on January 16 in Waco. The Cadets and Baylor Bruins tangled in the game that decided the cellar champs. The Cadets won 42-30 as expected. Hub Ellis was the high point man with 15. Weinbaum was close behind with 1 1. Marlin Hicks led the Bruin attack by chalking up eight points. The second Cadet victory came on February 14. Playing before the Cadet Corps the Aggie basketeers eked out a 29-28 win over Baylor. The winless Bears put up a game fight. The second time the Aggies met Texas a scor¬ ing record was set. Led by Dan Wooten, who scored 25 points. Texas won 87-59. The record set was for total points scored in one game. The previous record was topped by 9 points. In one of the roughest games ever played in VOSS SHEFTS DeWare Field House the TCU Horned Frogs beat the Aggies 30 to 27. A total of 38 personal fouls were committed and two players were ejected from the game. SMU scored nine points before the Aggie cagers sharpened their shooting eyes enough to score when the Cadets lost to the Mustangs 50 28. Kelly Avery of SMU scored one of the infrequent Aggie field goals. The Aggies at times fielded five former foot ball players. The Aggies closed the season in Arkansas losing to the second place Porkers on two successive nights. Kok and Flynt stood out for Arkansas, each scoring more than 40 points for the two nights. White and Weinbaum stood out for the Aggies. Lilburn J. Dimmitt, better known as “Lil,” came to Aggieland in 1935 as an athletic instructor, and since then he has coached many Conference winners in the various track events. Lil is a stickler for training. This, coupled with a lot of hard work, is one of the best reasons his track teams have been so successful. Lil started working with track teams while living in Georgetown, back in the twenties. Lil has never been known to play favorites in his long coaching career. Lil considers that one of the prime requisites of a good athletic team is good equipment. He also thinks that even the slightest injury of the lowliest substitute be treated as if it were a serious injury of a big star. Dimmitt finished his tenth season as coach at A M last year. His track squad helped him celebrate by giving him a very successful season. His team won its share of the warrmup meets and then finished second in the Conference. [ 252 ] TRACK The Aggie track team had a very successful season, however, they finished second to TU in the Conference meet. The Cadet thinly clads opened the season at the Border Olympics. With Steve King, jumper and vaulter, the only returning letterman, the Cadets went to Laredo as the dark horse of the meet. They showed excellently in certain events, but were outpointed by TU 54 to 62. Steve King, showing his worth to the team, was high point man. He featured in a three-way tie for first in the pole vaulting event. J. R. Wade broke his leg at the meet, and was lost for the remainder of the season. Steve King scored 20 1 4 points to be high poi nt man when the Cadets beat the Owls in a dual meet, 92 to 32. King captured first in the javelin, pole vault, broad jump, tied for first in the high jump, and ran a lag on the winning sprint relay team. Don Deere took first in the 100 yard and 200 yard dashes. Dean “Eep 11 Brown took first place in the mile run. The Cadets virtually ran away with the meet. The Cadets next met Texas U. in a dual meet, Texas winning, 66-56. Steve King was again high- scorer of the meet, Steve took the pole vault, for record in the high jump, and ran on the winning 440 JORDAN WADE ALLEY I5URCH (Mgr.) SHIRA BRADFORD yard relay team. Texas needed the mile relay in order to win the meet. Culbertson got away to a 20 foot lead on Bill Jordan on the first lap, Thompson of TU held the lead in his lap with C. S. Ludwick and Frank gained about 30 feet more over King. When Peters took the baton for the anchor lap he had a 20 yard lead, but the Mercury ' footed Deere closed up until he finished only 10 feet behind Peters. Texas won the little Conference meet from Rice and A M in a preview of the coming Conference track and field meet. Rice’s crack quarter-miler provided the big thrill of the day when he came from last place to win by a step. Bill Terrell and Jack Warren were the Aggie victors, taking first places in the high hurdles and in the two mile run. Texas ran away with the Conference meet to win by 64 points from the second place Aggie team. Lanky Ralph Ellsworth and Bob Umstattd were the big guns for the TU tracksters. Steve King again proved his value to the Aggie thinly clads by scoring 11-4 7 points to take second place in the race for individual honors. The Cadets took first places in the two mile, 120 yard hurdles, shot put, and high jump. TASSOS BROWN Homer Hill Norton, known primarily as a football coach, took over the duties as baseball coach when Marty Karow went in the Navy. Baseball was not new to Norton when he took over as baseball coach. He started his baseball career in high school, and later played at Birmingham Southern College. At Colleg e he patroled the outfield so well that he was signed up by the Birmingham Barons in the Southern League for the 1916 season. He played briefly in the Piedmont League, the Million Dollar League, and later he was sold to the Columbus Red Birds in the American Association. Norton has always been successful in baseball, and last season proved no exception, the Aggies finishing second in Conference competition.

Norton on Kyle Field and expressed their desire to play in the Maroon and White uniforms of the Texas Aggies. Norton told them that since there were no holdovers from the 1943 squad that each position was open. This gave added incentive to all of the hopefuls. The brightest prospects were George Strickhausen, first baseman, and Stanley “Bing” Turner, pitcher. As in previous years Industrial and Service teams made up the largest number of nomConference games. George Strickhausen was elected captain at the end of the season. SEASON The Cadets opened the season with a 7 to 6 win over Dow Chemical Co. However, the series was evened up the next day when Dow won a wild game 9 8. Next the Southwestern University Pirates came to Aggieland for a two game series. The Pirates won the first game 6 to 4, and the Aggies came back to win the second FRETZ [ 258 ] 13 to 11 in 13 innings. Turner’s home run with Fretz, on base pro ' vided the winning margin in the second game. In the three games the Cadets played in San Antonio they were beaten badly each time. Brooks Field won, 21 to 2 and 19 to 3, before the Randolph Field team took over and beat the Aggies 16 to 9. The Cadets played their sloppiest game of the season against Randolph making 6 miscues. The final two intersectional games saw the Aggies and South ' western U. tangle in a two-game series. The Cadets won the opener 4 to 2, but lost the second game 10 to 5. CONFERENCE Texas The Aggies opened their Conference season on April 7 with a 12 to 8 win over Texas U. Fretz, and Burditt were the Aggie stars. Fretz; got two hits out of three trips and Burditt got two hits for five trips to the plate. The winning run was scored on “Walloping” Walter Willingham’s home run. The second game was rained out. BURCH BURDITT RETTIG [ 259 ] Rice VAN HORN WILLINGHAM POLLARD (Mgr.) The next Conference tilts were played against Rice. The Cadets won the second game of the two game series. The first was a close, hard fought game, the Owls winning 4 ' 2 by scoring 4 runs in the eighth inning. Fretz gave up but 4 hits, his lone walk, and a fielding error in the Owls ' 1 big eighth inning. In the second game the Aggies overcame a six run lead to win 13-8. Turner, the starting pitcher, gave way to Fretz, in the sixth with 3 Owls on base and none out. The Aggies had two big innings, scoring 5 in the fifth and 6 in the seventh. On May 11 the Longhorns and Aggies met in the first game of a two game series with the Conference Championship at stake. Even a perfect baseball day couldn’t help the Aggies solve the bewildering pitches of T.U.’s Bobby Layne. He held the Aggies to 3 scattered hits to win 4T and take a one game lead in the Conference race. The Aggies lone run was scored in the third inning on a walk and an infield error. Burditt walked, and in attempting to go to third, on Brennecke’s bunt he scored on the wild throw over the third baseman’s head. Two sacrifices, a hit batsman, an error, and 4 hits accounted for the Texas runs in the fourth and fifth innings. The next day T.U. clinched the pennant with a 6 to 5 win to sweep the series and the Conference flag. Zeke Wileman’s double scored Billy Cox and the winning run in the last half of the ninth after the Cadets had tied the game in their half of the ninth. The Aggies outhit Texas 1T8, but they also made more errors than the Texas club. The final Texas series closed the season for the young and inexperienced Aggies. They finished a seventeen game schedule with 6 wins, 10 losses, and one game called off because of rain.

The team took third and fourth places in competition with all other schools in the Eighth Corps Area in the Randolph Hearst Match, and competed success ' fully with teams all over the nation in dual matches. The team was captained this year by Harold Borofsky and ably coached by Major L. F. Benson, Capt. J. C. Wolfe, and Staff Sergeant H. W. Cody. Members of the team firing in the Hearst Match were Roy Potts, Arthur Potts, James Purdy, Harold Borofsky, and Jere Higgs; comprising the hirst team. Charles Tate, James Jones, Edwin Daniels, A. C. Jefferson and Robert Powell composed the second team. The first team placed third in the Hearst match, and the second team placed fourth. Other members of the team were Drulane Brannen, Cecil Huey, Jimmy Hart, John Grohn, C. B. Nance, P. H. Sanders, T. A. Halff, J. T. Hunt, M. E. Stanford, Joe Putegnat, and A1 Hamilton. [ 262 } ATLAS G ARLINGTON COACH SMITH CROWDER McCarter TEnms Texas U. made a clean sweep of the spring sports when they took the measure of the Aggies in the Conference tennis tournament. TU’s Hohn Hickman won the singles from Felix Kelly, also from TU, and teamed with Kelly to beat Frank McCarter and Ellis Garlington in the doubles finals. Hickman and Kelly won 6 1, 6-1, and 6-3. This match was closer than the score indicates, for the lead changed many times in each game before the games were decided. Here is the schedule and the winners of the matches: April 15—Aggies defeated Rice taking 3 singles and one doubles match April 24—TU won dual match; the Aggies won only one match; McCarter and Cramer beat Hall and Hamilton May 6—Southwestern and Aggies divided matches at 3-all May 8—Cramer defeated Hartman for only Cadet win over Southwestern May 9—Rice defeated; Aggies won 3 singles and one doubles match. May 12—Conference meet; Aggies take second place. [ 263 ] BERRY GREEN HARGIS BRADFORD BELL COACH PUTNAM CROSS COUniRY The Cross Country team opened the season with a one point win over TU in a two and onedialf mile cross country run. Texas’ Bob Umstattd crossed the finish line first with the winning time of 12 minutes 34 seconds, but the Aggies finished in second, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth places out of the first ten. Two races with Oklahoma U. followed. One on Kyle Field and one in Oklahoma. Each team won on their home track. Texas revenged the early season defeat by beating the Cadets in the Conference meet. A ?M and Texas were the only teams entered. With Bob Umstattd of Texas winning easily, Texas took five of the first six places to cop the meet and the Conference championship.

FISHER Back Row: HARTMAN, WESTERVELT, NEUHAUSE, JONES, ESCOBAR, EASTMAN, DAVIS swimminG After losing two warm-up meets to Texas, the Aggies came back in the Southwest Conference Swimming meet to tie the favored Longhorns 82 ' all. The Longhorns won the first meet 47 37 and won the second meet 43-39. However, the Aggies dominated the Conference meet. The Conference meet was the most exciting tank contest ever staged in the P. L. Downs Jr. Nata- torium. Texas’ Ed Seidel was the high point man of the meet. For the Aggies Bob McLellan won the 100 yard backstroke and Albardo Facio won the diving. These were the only Aggie firsts of the meet, however, the Aggies were spectacular in garnering the second, third, and fourth places. The score was always close. When the last event, the 400 yard relay, came up the Aggies were leading 74-72. The winner of the 400 yard relay would be the winner of the meet. Syfan of A M led for the first lap, but he was overtaken in the last five yards. Malone of Texas got a good start but McLellan caught him before the end of the 100 yards. LIphorn gave TU a slight edge on the third lap over Westervelt. The last lap saw Seidel get off ahead of the Aggies’ Fisher, then Fisher caught the Texas ace, only to fade in the last ten yards. This is the closest the Aggies have ever come to winning the Conference swimming crown. The Conference meet closed a successful season for Coach Art Adamson’s swimming team. Bob McLellan and Albardo Facio were Cadet standouts.

One of the most beautiful of Aggieland’s traditions, the singing of Christmas Carols, is a manifestation of the more serious side of life at A M. When you hear the notes of “Silent ] [ight ,, echoing across the Campus, it is difficult not to stop whatever you are doing and listen—and thin . You remember when you were a freshman singing carols, and as the years roll by you remember those other Christmases at Aggieland. And as you listen there comes to you a feeling hard to describe, but it is a feeling that leaves you proud—proud to be an Aggie.

AND CO-OPERATIVE PECAN SALES CO., INC. We completed on April 1, 1945, three years of operations for the govern¬ ment, two of which were entirely given to the government. During the past year, we have been able to manufacture a reasonable amount of pecan machinery, but we have now been advised by our local War Production Board that pecan processing equipment has been released and can be sold without priority rating under Order L-292. We are going to undertake to con¬ struct our own building during this year. We began business on April 6, 1937, so we celebrated our Eighth Anniver¬ sary on the sixth of April, this year. When we began business we required only six thousand square feet of floor space. By 1939 we had increased this to fifteen thousand square feet of floor space, and by 1941 it was necessary to double the floor space to thirty thous¬ and square feet. Now we are so crowd¬ ed that it is necessary that we construct our own building in order to take care of increased production for our post-war development. Approximately 40 percent of our present production is still devoted to government contracts. One of the main things we are making is the nose plug for the B-29 bomber, and we have just received an additional contract for ninety thousand nose plugs. Therefore, you can see that our little baby, who is still in swad¬ dling clothes, is going to go right on trying to give employment and develop many additional articles as we progress. On the site where now stands one of San Antonio ' s old mansions shown in photo, at 403 South Flores Street, will be erected the new home of the Champion Pecan Machine Co. and Co-operative Pecan Sales Co., Inc., as a part of the post-war expansion plan. New building will be two stories and basement, providing 100,000 square feet of floor space. Left to right: H. A.

Those shown in above photograph are the officers and directors of the Champion Pecan Machine Company and Co-operative Pecan Sales Company, Incorporated, who were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wittliff, Sr., on September 17, 1944, previous to the shooting of the technicolor motion picture made of the two companies ' operations. This motion picture now is available to be shown to any groups. It is an educational picture and is going to help develop the pecan industry very rapidly from now on. This is part of our post-war program to give the returning soldiers a chance to own a small business of their own in the operation of Champion Pecan Equipment. CHAMPION PECAN MACHINE CO. H. A.

The editors ' supervision includes every¬ thing from the first idea of a theme through the innumerable details involved in art work, layouts, photographs, copy, engravings and print¬ ing. In normal times their responsibility has been great. In war-time, problems have arisen which made their task almost insurmountable. Our greatest interest has been to work in the spirit of cooperation, relieving the editors, wherever possible, of some of their work and worry. With the shortage of materials and manpower the task has not always been easy and delay has been inevitable. It is our hope, how¬ ever, that our organization of experienced craftsmen has succeeded, along with your editors, in turning out a book that you will find both attractive and entertaining. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE GULF PUBLISHING COMPANY [351] s lclverti ers ’ 3nde A.
