BATTLE OF GIANTS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
& M. Football Team Will Meet
Southwestern on Kyle Field.
Victory Hangs in Balance.

Friday the biggest game that the
Farmers have ever attempted for a
starter of the season will be played.
There is going to be a mighty big
'~battle when the Farmers meet the
Southwestern university football team
on Kyle Field Friday afternoon at
1880 o'clock. Southwestern is going
to be mighty strong is what is learned
from their manager, l.. l.. Simons.
They will have back practically all of
their last years veterans, contrary to
the general belief throughout the
state. Besides these veterans, Ar
buckle has collected some of the
finest material in the South.
Southwestern will never again be
considered a second-rate university,
They are going to earn for themselves
a place among the big colleges of the
state, and they are going to do their
best to defeat the Farmers Friday aft
ernoon.
| Speaking of the game that comes
this week, Manager Dan Imboden of
the Farmer 1911 team says: South
western is going to be hard to beat.
They played us our best game last
year, and they are anxious to meet us
this fall In fact, am looking for this
game to be one of the best of the sea-
son. We are now working on officials
for the game, and think that we will
use Capt. ]. R. Hill of West Point,
now at San Antonio, as referee;
Snipes of Southwestern, now at Allen
Academy, as umpire; Frizzill of Texas
Christian university as field judge,
and Hamilton of Texas A. & M. as
head linesman. 1t was unfortunate
that Southwestern could not change
the scheduled date to October or 5,
but | am sure that we will have
large crowd anyway. Head Coach Mo-
ran has a fighting team and we are
going at the Southwestern men to win.
If we lose this game it will be simply
because Southwestern got into shape
quicker than we did. for | am sure
that we have just as good material as
they have. We have been working
after Southwestern ever since We
went into camp. They have been
working after us longer than that. |
can not tell which way the game will
turn out, but think that we are going
to outclass Southwestern university
in every department of the game"
Kyle Field has already been put in
shape to receive the crowd that will
go from Bryan. The Bryan-College in
terurban will be in a position by that
time to handle the large crowd that
will attend the game. Manager Dan
c. Imboden has extended hearty in
vitation to the Allen Academy boys
to attend the game, and he has also
invited the Bryan Baptist Academy
DOyp Oul. OPCNldi ototo VIII w iO-
served for these preparatory boys.
The girls at Bryan Baptist Academy
have been invited to attend the game.
and the girls of Villa Maria have also
been extended a hearty invitation.
The Southwestern game will be the
first chance to see the Farmers work.
People from Bryan can get chance
to see them in force, for Head Coach !
Charley Moran has declared that he
will use his heaviest team against the
bunch. It will be a
great game when the two fast and
heavy elevens clash.
1t is not known at the college how
he betting is running, but it is ru-
nored that at Austin and Houston
he money is even, with big amount
# Southwestern money still on the /
market. k
