COTTON BOWL • ATTENDANCE: 45,507<br />
DALLAS—Sixth-ranked A&M used trickery to pull out a close win over 12th-ranked<br />
Fordham.<br />
The <strong>Aggie</strong>s used the “hideout pass” to break the scoring ice. Trailing 6-0 at the start of<br />
the third quarter, A&M’s Earl “Bama” Smith trotted toward the east sideline while his teammates<br />
rushed to their huddle. Smith then took off undetected with the start of the play and<br />
hauled in a 62-yard scoring aerial from quarterback Marion Pugh to tie the game.<br />
John Kimbrough scored on a 1-yard run later in the period.<br />
A&M blocked both of Fordham’s extra-point kicks and Pugh converted after Kimbrough’s<br />
score to provide the difference in the game.<br />

1942 COTTON BOWL<br />

THURSDAY, JAN. 1, 1942 • DALLAS, TEXAS<br />
COTTON BOWL • ATTENDANCE: 33,000<br />
DALLAS—If ever a game provided credence to the point that statistics can lie, this<br />
contest did.<br />
Alabama made only one down (A&M had 13), gained just 59 yards rushing (to A&M’s<br />
115), 16 passing (to A&M’s 194), and punted 16 times. But, the Crimson Tide scored 29<br />
points and won the game.<br />
Seven <strong>Aggie</strong> interceptions and five lost fumbles negated any statistical advantages<br />
A&M achieved.<br />
Alabama’s Jimmy Nelson was the star of the game with two interceptions, a 72-yard<br />
punt return for a score and a 21-yard scoring run.<br />
