THE EARLY DAYS OF RIVALRY

Two days after Thanksgiving, The University of Texas played Texas A&M in a home football game at Clark Field which drew 6,000 fans. This was more than the stadium’s capacity, despite bringing in extra stands for the event. Although, Texas A&M had not lost during the 1907 season, they tied Texas in an earlier game that took place in Dallas. In their second match up of the season, Texas beat A&M 11-6, officially spoiling their undefeated season.
