Tififi ' ofr FbotbcJM; Vet students thoughtfully care for Peruna, while waiting for SMU cheerleaders to come claim her. Bevo looks up in apprehension as kidnapers approach. Weil, we ' ve had a pretty good season, I reckon. Yep, a 5-0 record. Five attempts and no misfires. It seems to me that we actually did Texas Tech a pretty good service by helping out that horse of theirs the way we did, probably the first excitement she ' s had in years. That ' s true, of course, and by this time next year, Tech ought to have two mascots instead of just one. Mighty generous of us, all right. How about TCU? Up there the dean of students, or somebody like that was supposed to have helped those Ags walk off with the Horney Toads, and even provided a police escort.—Thought they were members of the Vigilantes Committee. A similar case to the Rice Owl, where some Aggie dates kept the guard occupied, while the Ags calmly walked off with Rice ' s prized paper- mache Owl. And there was all that commotion at the Vet hospital when Peruna was kept there. Yeah, but it was nothing compared to the time Bevo showed up. (continued on page 29) Fighters from F-2 proudly display horned frogs that TCU officials gave them. Andrew Salge brings Rev over to meet Aggie Sweetheart Nanette Gabriel at T.C.U. game. Where is Bevo? Texas Ranger O. L. Luther pumps Aggies for in¬ formation as to whereabouts of elusive cow. Orig¬ inal Bevo-nappers, coerced by warrant for their arrest, brought him to nearby farm, only to find that the animal had been sub-kidnaped by another group.

Study was difficult for those students residing here first semester due to noise of construction work during the day, and an¬ guished cries of Larry Vetter at night, over the loss of his diamonds. 27

(continues from page 28) Bevo was the easiest of all; all they did was go out to that pig-farm and load him into the truck. No guards, no trouble, no nothin ' . The big problem was in deciding which group of Ags that showed up that night was to get the honor of stealing him. Then the Sips had to send the Texas Rangers, an arrest warrant for cattle rustling and a bunch of scrawny ' Silver Spurs ' to get him back. Ridiculous—we would have given him back sooner or later. Yeah, barbecued! Coach Hank Foldberg is carried off field by jubilant team after Rice victory. Team seemed to be sparked during second half by half-time brawl which re¬ sulted from the poor attitude and conduct of cer¬ tain Rice students. Mike Marlow leads traditional yell practice at T.W.U. on Friday night before Corps Trip game with T.C.U. Among other things that night, a dance was held.—the Ags tied T.C.U. the next day, 14-14. Freshmen from A-2 hold a Rain Dance, on Saturday afternoon, before the Baylor game. The rain, which was needed to slow Don Trull ' s passing, didn ' t come until a half-hour after the game. ,
