It never goes near water, but thrives on the plains of the great southwest.

It is about the size of a frog, all right, but bristles all over with those horned growths that are characteristic of the lizard family. Way back some 45 years ago, when T. C. U. first began to play football, some interested person set about to devise a name for the team.

Longhorns, Miners, Cowboys, Bears, Indians and most of the other obviously appropriate names had already been claimed by other southwest schools. T. U. wanted a name that was different. Someone thought of this belligerent-looking lizard that roamed the prairies and hills.
