$4,000 breathless fans in Memorial

States initial tally came In the

IN Aggie kick on the latter's 30
yard marker, and Gaines, stepping
back to the Aggies' 41-yard line,
sent one of his seldom miss drop
kicks over for the count of three.
The Eagles Immediately kicked to
the Aggies, but the latter were um-
able to get farther than their
37-yard line. After Hardy had
worked the ball up to the Aggies
14-yard stripe, the Doctor sent an
other of his specialties over the
goal posts to bring the Eagles
score to six.
Angered by Gaines accuracy, the
Aggies' Monteiro blocked another
attempted field goal by the Doctor
in the waning moments of the
first period, and his teammate
Grady Smith, took the leather oval
