in the East, the Mid-West, and on
the Pacific Coast. Here at A. &
M. it has been one of the most
popular intramural sports.
Speedball is a combination of
soccer, football, and basketball.
Such a game sounds a little im
possible but actually the rules are
few and simple. It is a game that
can be enjoyed the first time it is
played and yet offers generous
possibilities of individual improve
ment and fine team play.
Basically speaking, speedball is
the game of soccer with a rule
thrown in that allows the ball to
be caught in the hands any time
that the ball is caused to go into
the air by striking or being struck
by a player. In other words, any
time that the last thing the ball
touched was a player’s body, it may
be legally caught in the hands
and then passed, punted, or drop-
kicked.
The game of speedball is kin

to basketball in that it is a non-
contact game in which the ball may
be passed from player to play
er. As in basketball, no blocking,
tackling, or running with the ball
is permitted.
AGGIES 56-NTSTC 42
In the second game of the
season last night, the Aggies
showed speed and power as
they trounced the North Texas
State Teachers College by a
score of 56 to 42. The first half
of the game was closely con
tested, with the Aggies lead
ing at the mid-point with a
23 to 21 score.

Are Ag Appointees
By Mike Haikin
As the regular football season
rolls around to a dead stop for
another year, there comes a time
when honor is bestowed upon boys
who have glorified themselves in
the gridiron world. Picking out
eleven star members is a hard job,
because there are quite a few more
boys that have dpne deserving jobs,
and would have been on the All-
Southwest team if they had play
ed with a better ball club. Also
injuries handicapped many of the
stars such as Kyle Gillespie of
T. C. U., Joe Pasqua of S. M. U.,
Bob Brumley, of Rice, Chick Forte
of Arkansas, and Dick Dwelle of
Rice.
However, eleven men have to be
picked, and that’s what we will do
now. The champion Texas Aggies
and the powerful runnerups, the
Texas Longhorns each place four
men, while T. C. U., S. M. U., and
Rice manage for one apiece.
Ags’ Derace Moser
Leading the quartet of backs on
the All-Conference team is the
Aggies’ own Derace Moser, the
most consistent and the best pass
er in the conference. One certain
ly cannot leave Moser out of any
“all” team because it was he who
passed, ran, and kicked Coach
Homer Norton’s team into the
championship. He sparked a team,
that was picked to finish no less
than fifth in the conference, to a
glorified season, and he certainly
cannot be left out.
Next are the Longhorns’ “ham
and eggs,” Jack Crain and Pete
Layden. Crain is one of the best
break-away runners in the nation,
and once this “Nocona Nugget”
breaks loose there is no stopping
him. He ended his career in a
glorified fashion against the Texas
Aggies and the Oregon Webfoots.
He wound up as the leading scor
er in the conference, and was con
sidered one of the best placekick-
ers here. Pete Layden was the
Longhorn workhorse and shined at
all moments he was in a game.
Even when Longhorn hopes were
smashed in their tie with Baylor
and loss with T. C. U., still the
shining star of the Longhorns was
Pete Layden.
Last but certainly not least is
the fullback post, which is satis
factorily manned by Presto John
ston, S. M. U.’s great ramming
star. Johnston undoubtedly has
