...grads, like old grads everywhere, had no use for a loser-and their memories were short. In 1939, Homer had been a hero at A. & M. He had a wonder team that year, starring "Jarrin' Jawn" Kimbrough, which was voted the nation's best. In five years, his Aggies had played in four Bowl games. Box office was good at the campus stadium. Last year, when old grads began yelling for his scalp, Homer, who has coached at Texas A. & M. for 14 years, calmly told them to put up or shut up; his $10,000-a-year...
Just which league was better no one yet knew. All-America had a prize crew of ex-All-Americans, such top-salaried stars as Chicago's Elroy ("Crazy Legs") Hirsch; Los Angeles' "Jarrin' " John Kimbrough; Brooklyn's thread-needle passer Glen Dobbs; New York's flat-footed Frank Sinkwich; San Francisco's 245-lb. fullback Norm Standlee.

The Aggies, led by Jarrin' Jack Kimbrough, a 220-lb. steam roller, had mowed down 19 opponents in a row, were considered the best team the Southwest had ever seen. But in 57 agonizing seconds last week, the Farmers saw their $100,000 bid to the Rose Bowl vanish. At Austin, where no Texas A. & M. team has beaten Texas since 1922, the old jinx spurred a team of Longhorns that had been twice beaten this year to paralyze their old rivals with a lightning-swift stab.
