Fowler Shines
The Aggies brought the strongest
team here that they have had In
the last three years. Its machine
play was not polished, but 1t had
Individual strength to burn. Fowler

was the outstanding ball carrier ior
the visitors. he showed a world OF
stuff in making the relatively simple
Aggie plays go. -
The old ball Juggling combination
OF Adamson and Cabler and a pass,
Popkin 10 Cabler, was the story OF
Brownsville's IL firStdownS TO nine
for the Aggies. A lateral pass was
worked to advalg age also. With the
Seorp line sticking off In fine style,
the Valieyites had everything but
A. munger to give them punch WITHIN

some nice work in batting down
Fowler's lefthanded passes. The val
lev forward wall did some excellent
work in turning back the batterng
Aggie backs. Except for the bad
break on the tumble in the closing
moments OF play, the Scorp wall
turned back the Aggies every time
they got in the % yard me-.
