JONES BOYS To
CLASH IN STATE
TITLE GRID TIL 7
OgIe, of Varsity, and Alec,
of AggieS, viii Face Each
Other as Two Teams
Meet Thanksgiving Day.

The Jones brothers, Howard
J and Tad, occupied the limelight
in football circles for several
weeks preceding the recent game
between Iowa and Yale, but in
terest in Howard and Tad among
football fans of the southwest will
now be supplanted by a more
lively interest in the Jones broth
ers, Alec and Ogle, star halfbacks
on the New Mexico Aggie and
State university teams, respective
", who will meet each other on
the gridiron in the annual turkey
day encounter between the Lobos
and the Farmers.
Probably the whole southwest
boasts no better halfbacks than
the two Jones brothers. Both are
products Of Roswell nigh school,
Since leaving high school, Alec
has played with Vanderbilt, with
| Abilene Christian college, and
with the Battery A eleven, the
New Mexico National Guard team
which defeated Fort Bliss during
the national guard encampment
last October and later lost a 7-G
game to Calumus club of Ell Paso.
! Ell Paso sport writer's attributed
the defeat of the Blissmen and
! the practically even game with
| Calumus club to too much
JONES'" and characterized him as
zone of the greatest halfbacks
who ever stepped on an Ell Paso
gridiron."
Playing his first year of college
| football with the Lobos last year,
! Ogle made an enViable name for
himself, and was given a berth at
| left halfback on Jim BrHnn's All
Southwestern eleven in spite Of
the fact that last year the south
west boasted backfield material
of more than ordinary caliber.
His work this year has been bril-
liant, and both the Rocky Noun
tain News and the Denver Post,
in commenting on the early sea-
son game between the Lobos and
Colorado, spoke highly of Jones
versatility as a backfield man.
Both Jones brothers are power
full line plungers, possessing the
ability to pick their holes, hit the
line low and hard, and keep their
feet after they have broken
through the forward wall. Both
men are fast and good runners
in a broken field, and both are
extremely difficult to tackle be-
cause of their style of running
with knees under chin in ap-
proved Hecton fashion and their
effective use of the stiff arm.
Both are adopts at hurting and
receiving the forward pass. Ogle
is only q mediocre punter, but
Alec can punt consistently for
fifty-five yards throughout a
game. On the other hand, Ogle
is the more vicious tackler and
therefore has the edge on Alec as
defensive player.
Football fans who have watch
ed both Jones brothers in action
are about evenly divided in their
opinions as to which of the broth
ers can be called the more bril-
liant gridiron star. Alec will tell
you that Ogle has the edge on
him a little bit, and Ogle says
that Alec is the better man.
Either one is good enough to play
on any team.
Football fans who are fortunate
enough to see the Varsity -Aggie
game at Las Cruces, Thanksgiv-
ing day, will be able to form
their own opinion as to the rela-
tive merits of the two men. One
thing is certain-there will be no
brotherly love displayed in the
Jones family-at least on the
playing field-when the Lobos
meet the Farmers, November 80,
Each Jones brother has sworn to
get the others football scalp.
