PAID IN FULL

In 1901, the University of Texas Board of Regents made the last payment in the $3,000 purchase of Mr. de Cordova’s vacant lot and Varsity Field officially became the property of the University of Texas.

A sepia toned photograph shows a parade of people, maybe a marching band, performing on Clark Field at half time of the 1906 football game between Texas and A&M.

Texas beat the undefeated A&M team 24-0, scoring a second half touchdown on a forward pass from Winston McMahon to Bowie Duncan. From the Texas Athletics Photo Collection at The Stark Center
