Description
The Texas Christian University Horned Frogs are hosting the visiting Texas A&M Aggies at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. In the first quarter, the Frogs were backed up on their six-yard line and Kyle Gillespie (40 white jersey) attempted to punt the ball away. Aggie end Jim Sterling (81) and tackle Martin Ruby busted through the line and managed to block the punt. Sterling is shown as the ball bounced off his chest. Ruby is bending over the back of Frog, Frank Kring (30). The Aggies converted the block into a touchdown a few plays later. They won the game 14-0. Large spectators are enjoying the game. Published in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, October 19, 1941.
