SALTWATER, Okla, Feb. al
Thanksgiving day, November 25, 1915,
the A. a. NJ. college gridstefs will bat
tie against the Haskell indians, either
in Kansas City or Lawrence, prefer
ably in the Missouri city.
This game was only ascertained to-
DAY when Coach. +. j. Davis of the
Aggies received a letter from Coach
A. NJ. Venne of the Redskins, stating
that date was acceptable and that
contracts were en- rounte TO still
water. These will be signed by the
local mentor and returned, thereby
cinching the closing unit OF the
schedule.
In Aggiedom this contest, the first
ever arranged with the Indian eleven,
is looked upon as a distinct recogni-
ton OF the Farmer adynce on the
gridiron. Coupled with the already
contracted game with the University
Of Missouri, II is considered double
distinction.
The Tiger scrap is scheduled for
October and will be the opening
event of the season. 1t will also ef-
feet a precedent as an early season
feature. as heretofore the initial game
has been played about two weeks
later.
Starting with Missouri inter-
spersed with heavy games with Texas,
Arkausas. Colorado and oklahoma
teams and concluding with the In
dians. the 1915 schedule is the strong
est yet attempted By the Agsies.
