Encountered.

Preparation to repel an invasion oil

lready begun at the Texas A. and NJ.
ollege. Scouts report that an unus
ally strong squad of Indians are
tanning to break out from the reser
alton at Lawrence, Kan. and march
gainst the Texas Aggies on Tuesday
s, with the view of affixing the
calp of the Texas Farmer boys tc

ms invaded the territory of the Okla
oma Indians and were routed In
lerce skirmish which occurred al

nd M. College of that State. And
low their redskin brothers from Kan
as are planning an invasion of Texas
erritory.
Bruised and battered the squad
which represented A. and M. in heI
battles with Kansas and Oklahoma
eturned to College Station this morn
ng early. 1t takes more than two
irubbings to dampen the ardor of the
cadet corps at A. and NJ. College, how
ever, and o'clock when the gridiron
warriors arrived at the College, they
were given welcome which, in most
schools would have occurred only af-
| ter victorious return Of the squad.
The Aggies are in for much hard
work before their game with the Has
kell Indians, which will be played at
Kyle field, College Station, Tuesday
November IS. The Indians are old foes
which heretofore have fallen an easy
prey to the attack of the pale faces,
but this year things look wee bit
different. Haskell is stronger than
ever and heavier and faster teams
representing the big Eastern Colleges
have had hard grubbing in their at
tempt to wipe up with the Indians. On
the other hand the Aggies have not
had a winning streak, although they
have played consistently and fought
in every game to the finish
Moran is planning to give them a
number of new plays, and expects to
make the Indians put their best foot
foremost in the fight for blood The
Aggies' coach stopped over in Okla
homa one day to visit with Choc
Kelly, former star at A. and NJ, but
will return today in time to give his
men some hard work in preparation
for the big game Tuesday.
While the Aggies are bruised and
battered. they are still in good fight
ing trim and after a short rest from
their hard trip. will be ready for the
contest with the Indians. They have
had hard sailing during the past week
On Friday they met the Kansas Ag-
gies, losing to them, and then on Mon
day they took on the Oklahoma Ag-
gies at Saltwater.
Thus far the Aggies have had
rather a disastrous season. All Texas
teams were met and conquered, but
when the Farmers met the Mississippi
A. and NJ. boys at Dallas on November
1, they tasted defeat for the first
time. All of the games have been lost
by narrow margin. The Kansas score
was the largest that has been made
against them, that being 10 to 0. That
game was played in the teeth of
severe blizzard, handicap to the
squad from Texas. The Aggies sue
ceeded within few yards Of the Kan
sas boys goal line, but could not put
it over.
In fact every game that has been
lost has been lost by about the
strength of Dutch" Holm, tackle and
one of the only two veterans that Mo.
ran had at the beginning of the sea-
son. Holm is worth two ordinary
men because, not only of his own abil.
ity to block and to carry the ball, but
because of the ginger he gets into the
team. Had Dutch Holm staid in the
game the Aggies' record thus FAR
would have been all wins, so says
Capt. Beasley and others who have
seen the games and know of the value
of this player to the team.
Holm was disqualified by the fac
ulty just few days prior to the Mis-
sissippi contest. Holm was declared
eligible at the beginning of the season
by both the Texas and the Southern
Intercollegiate athletic associations.
He played in several games and then
