FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN DALLAS MEMBER FIDERAL DEPOSiT INSURANCE CORPORATION Brief Texas Aggie Football History EXAS Aggie football history began in 1893 when the Maroon and White team was organized, but Tno games with out-of-town teams were scheduled. In 1894 the Aggies, then the Farmers, played road games, including the University of Texas, for the first time. The late Dean Emeritus Dr. Charles Puryear, who had joined the faculty in 1898, was the first manager of the football teams, and F. D. Perkins, now a McKinney businessman, was captain and coach of the first three teams. Dean Puryear died at his campus home in July, 1940. The Aggies played no out-of-town games in 1895 but again played games with other schools in 1896 and have played such schedules ever since. A. & M. was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association until the formation of the Southwest Conference in 1914 and is a charter member of that organization. They have won the conference football championship six times, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1925, 1927 and 1939 and were National Champions in 1939. No team has won the conference title more times than Texas A. & M. They were undefeated, untied and unscored upon in 1917 and 1919 and undefeated and untied in 1939. They have played total of 357 intercollegiate and two post-season games. Of these they have won both post-season Bowl games, defeating Centre College in 1922 and Tulane in 1940, and have won 227 of their regular season games while losing 104 and tying 26 for a percentage of 672, counting games tied as one-half game won and one-half game lost. The 1940 season proved the Aggies to be one of the finest teams in the nation, losing only one game to their traditional rival, Texas University. The Dallas Home of the FORDHAM RAMS 2^> Jack Coffey and "Sleepy Jim" Crowley selected the Stoneleigh Hotel for their team headquarters for the same reasons that so many others have in making the same choice—for the excellent rooms, the quiet surroundings and the fine foods.
