Description

Texas A & M University versus Fordham University at the Cotton Bowl. Marion Pugh, right, passing to Bill Henderson. This was one of the most sparkling plays of the Texas Aggies' thrilling 13-12 decision over Fordham in the Cotton Bowl Wednesday. Though he was heavily rushed by the big Rams, the Aggies' passer, Marion Pugh, got off this pitch to Bill (Jitterbug) Henderson. The Cadet end caught the ball with an unbelievable one-handed catch for a first down on the Fordham 49. The play took place in the first quarter. An action shot of the players and referees on the field. Players and people are sitting on each side of the field. In the background the spectators are seated in the stands. Star-Telegram Morning January 2, 1941
