  Texas Aggies jolt TCU, 2O-7, In Upset FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. II. Texas A&M’s amazing Aggies, a team that wasn’t supposed to have a thing this season, today showed Texas Christian Uni verSity an unbeatable football hand-power, passing and saw age defense, and lacked up a 20–⁠7 victory. The Aggies beat the Horned Frogs even worse than the score board showed, with only a leaky pass defense in the final quarter responsible for Texas Christians touchdown. Two second-quarter touch downs and another in the fourth kept Texas A85M’s unbeaten rec ord intact. And it was the pass Ing and running of Don Ellis, the Aggies’ quick little quarter back, that again gave A8zM a victory it wasn’t figured to get. Especially after TCU had scared Michigan State last week. Ellis smashed 19 yards for the Aggies’ first touchdown and one for its last tally. In between, Don Kachtik bulled his way 42 yards for a touchdown and Ell wood Kettler and Eric Miller booted the extra points.
