lsu-' The only other occasions that
merrsd a perfect record for the
Longhorrs in the first seventeen
games were two scoreless ties, one
N the first game in 1909 and one
~ the first game in 1907. The
iirst II these came after the Long
norm had won seven consecutive
sle'ories and the secord followed
Tour straight Steer victories.
since 1909. however. the record
ewes the Aggies a slight advantage
over the Longhorns. In seventeen
ssmes. beginning in 1909. the Aggies
rave won nine and lost seven. the
other being a tie. The Aggies also
nave an ede on tho Steers in the
number OF games won since Dana
Bible has been head coach Of the
Aggies. Bible came to A. e. NJ. in
1917 and that year the Aggies down
ed the Steers. 10. The following
year. 1918, Bible was not at a. &
NJ being IN the military service,
but when he returned in 1919 the
Aggies won again. Since that time
the tide has seemed to favor the
Aggies. as the Longhorns have won
emily four 10 the Aggies' five with
one tie. The game at Austin this
year will give the L~onghorns an or
pcrtunity 70 even the count with
one game q tie during Coach Bibles
regime and will also give the Steers
an opportunity to even the count
under their own Coach Clyde Little
field, since they lost the first game
against the Aggies last year Under
bis regime.
u IS interesting 20 note that only
three Of the Agile onghorn tilts
have been draws and each Of these
was Scorcless. The Longhorns have
made the largest single score in the
all time record. $50. IN 1898. but in
recent years have been unable to
score more thar two touchdoEns N
any one game while the Aggies last
year defeated them. ISL, and in
