You seem to have the magic touch on finding old Battalion articles. When I was in school, I was doing some research on A&M history and my family members. In looking at old Batts on microfilm, I came across an article or maybe an editorial dated either side of 1940 about the senseless proliferation of football bowl games. You think you could find that for me? Thanks in advance,

The jest of the article was that there were way too many senseless bowl games. There couldn't have been more than 6, if that many, at the time.
