THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 31, 1946 THE BATTALION Page • • • • On Kyle Field • • • • U. V. JOHNSTON The grapevine has it that anyone interested in traveling to Tasadena, California around the end of the year can pick up pullman reservations at the capitol cheap. Since the Longhorn’s HUMILIATING defeat at the hands of the Owls last Saturday the value of the tickets has been depreciating fast and it is rum ored that if those interested will wait a few weeks longer they can get them for nothing. The leaders in the flag race should retain their leads this week but if some of them get too cocky they are apt to get set back a notch. All in all it is going to be another tough week for the con ference and some more of the big boys are apt to get knocked out of the win column. The only team that has a cinch is Baylor and they are taking the week off. However, Baylor couldn’t be hurt much more anyway. After a completely hectic week-end this past week the foot ball situation should settle back into normal rat-race and run true to form this week. If so the Aggies will have their tough est conference contest to date. In fact if the Hogs run true to form the other two conference members the Farmers have played will look like sissies in comparison. There is no doubt in my mind that the Ags will have their toughest conference scrap to date but witji last week’s team on the field they should take the Hogs by at least two touchdowns. They will have to play the brand of football that they played last week-end to do this how ever and I believe they will. All the Ags have needed thus far in the season was to pick up a good passer and Buryi Baty more than met this requirement so on the basis of last week’s fine per formance I am taking the Ags over the Hogs. Texas is going to have another tough opponent this week when they meet the Mustangs in Austin. Texas should bounce back after their first defeat of the season and hand the Ponies a good drubbing but those Mustangs haven’t been a soft touch for anyone thus far in the season so don’t be too surprised if they take the Longhorns in what promises to be a good battle. However, I will still have to say the Longhorns as they look like the better of two good teams. Rice is pretty chesty this week after knocking off the hot shots from Texas last Saturday at Houston but if they aren’t careful come Saturday they are apt to be much the sadder as they tangle with the once defeated Red Raiders of Texas Tech. The Owls should take this one but if they get too cocky the Raiders are apt to set them back. Rice is not the only team that will have their hands full as Texas Christian tangles with the Okla homa University line and it looks like the Frogs will come out with another defeat to their credit. Last Friday there was an Assembly held on the Baylor campus and it seems that the preachers' of Baylor were warned about how bad an influence those “bad old Aggies” were. Anyone interested in tickets to the Rice-Ag game had better get on the stick as only a few remain and these will be gone before the week is out. Since Rice knocked off Texas leaving the Ags and Rice tied for the conference lead the popularity rating of these tickets has hit a new high. Any of you guys who are interested had better hop down to the Athletic Office and get your application is as they won’t last long.

Weiss Next to Campus Theater College Station Hog-Aggie Battle Tops In S WC This Weei Porkers Travel To College Station For Game Saturda Aggies Take Bruins 17-0 The Aggies played the brand of ball they are capable of last Sat urday when they handed the Bruins their third conference defeat of the year. Buryi Baty sparked the Ags in their 17-0 drubbing of the Bruins with his spectacular passing from the single and dou ble wing formation. This was the first time that -Baty has been al lowed to fully demonstrate his wares as he was injured in prac tice early in the season and has not been able to play very much up until now. During the first half the game was practically a stalemate as most of the game was played be tween the thirty yard stripes with neither team being able to ad vance. Only once did either team threaten and that was early in the first quarter when Baty sparked a seventy-one yard drive to the Bear one where the ball went over on downs after the Bears held them for four downs. After this wild drive the game settled into a very hard fought battle with neither team advancing very deep into enemy territory. The Ags scored their first touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball in the second half on a surprise aerial from Baty to Mann Scott behind the Bear goal line after an unin terrupted forty-eight yard drive. The next Aggie score was set up by Odell Stautzenberger when he recovered a Bruin fumble on their eighteen yard line. Two plays later Baty again tossed to Scott behind the goal line for the touchdown and John Ballentine kicked the extra point as he did a few min utes before bringing the score to 14-0 in favor of the Aggies. Ballentine wound up the scoring for the day in the last stanza after Welch intercepted a Bruin pass on the Baylor forty and re turned it to their fifteen. The ball was advanced to the four for a first down and the Ags then tried for a field goal. The ball rested on the eight yard line and about twenty yards in from the West side of the field, but Ballentine’s kick was good, mak ing the score Ags 17, Baylor 0. Late in the final period the Ag gies took over on downs on the Baylor nine yard stripe as Grif fin was rushed and could not get his kick off. Smith then carried to the Baylor four and on the next play Leo Daniels passed to Merle Prokop out of the end zone so the score did not count. The gun then sounded before an other play could be run and the Ags won by the score of 17-0.

Very few games' have had to be called of due to wet fields. This week and the week to come will be the big test for the league leaders as the teams go in to the play off rounds to decide the champions. Basketball and flag football have stepped out at a fast pace and it looks like a thrilling “big league” finish for both sports. BASKETBALL C Field was the high scoring team of the week as they ran up a 30 to 10 victory over A Eng. Taylor and Davis were outstand ing in hitting the basket for C Field and Lane set the pace for the losers in scoring and defen sive play., A QM overshadowed A Ordnance by the score of 24 to 11. Craig and Boichaid stood out in defensive and offensive play for the winners while Norfleet car ried the load for A Ordnance. The biggest defeat of the week was handed to B Cavalry by an in spired G Inf. team 28 to 3. Pur- year came out of a hard battle with Mitchell to win 18 to 15. Buckner led the scoring for the winners. Scheumack was the stand out of the game but was on the short end of the score. High scor ing individual for the week was Boichaid of A QM with 12 points. FLAG FOOTBALL In the playoff game between F Inf. and C Cavalry it was F Inf. all the way as they took an easy win 22 to 6. Self, Hurd and Reese played outstanding ball for the winners. For the losers Taylor was outstanding. B Inf. over came a hard fighting D Field team by one Cadet Bee Team Drubs Baylor Cubs A&M GAME STATISTICS Baylor 10 First Downs 12 15 Passes Attempted 13 7 Passes Completed 2 90 Ydge. Comp.

With few exceptions the Cadets had things pretty much their own way from the kick off with the Baylor eleven threatening only twice. Sparked by Kid Beesley of Dallas the Ags connected with a good percentage of passes com pleting seven out of fifteen at tempted for a total of 90 yards. Frank Torno, the galloping ghost from Cameron whose excel lent exhibition of broken field run ning enabled him to out maneuver the entire Froglet team the week before, started the ball rolling in the right direction after intercept ing a pass from Griffin on the Aggie 25 and with a series of plays, most of which resulted in first downs, wound the ball up on the Baylor 15. With four minutes to go in the first quarter Torno (See BEE TEAM, Page 6) touchdown and when the final play was over the score stood 13 to 6. Hatfield and DuBose fig ured in the scores for the winners while Chemical ran the lone tally over for the losers. VOLLEYBALL G Inf. took two fast games from A QM 15-6, 1518. Outstanding serves gave the winners the ad vantage. Garrison and Miller were the sparks behind the A Field team as they defeated A Cavalry 15-8, 15-13. A Signal led by Scog gins and Neely came out victorious over E Field 15-11, 15-8. TENNIS D Field outplayed B Cavalry and won their match 3 to 0. Freed and Yarbrough were outstanding in all around play for the win ners. A Coast took their match from A Cavalry 2 to 1. Crouch and Baker showed their skill in serves and forehand play.

S.M. FRANK & CO.,INC.,NEW YORK 22 Who’s the greatest halfback in America? DO YOU AGREE with Southern football coaches? They’re acclaiming Charley Trippi of the University of Georgia as the best all-round halfback they’ve ever seen. Other players may outdo him in running, passing or punt ing—but, say the coaches, Trippi does all three things better than any other one player the South has produced. You won’t want to miss this interest ing article about Trippi in today’s j Saturday Evening Post. | BIG BAD BULLDOG FROM DIXIE ^ by Fred Russell pip 1 mmmmm :: ill % MM —-• CDS A R ORR RHOTO H iiii THE POST Will PUBUSH THE All-American Football Team SELECTED BY THE AMERICAN tTOOTBAU COACHES ASSOCIATION.

The first in their series of two game's was played here at Kyle Field on Friday, October 25 with the Ags having things pretty much their own way from the start. The final score was A&M 21, Bay lor 0 with the Cadets threatening on two other occasions. DeWare’s boys are still not at full strength as several of the top gridders are out with injuries and they are further set back by the loss of Frank Torno, Dennis An- dricks, Red Burditt and Ed Hook er who have moved up to the first string. On the Baylor end of the field backs Bobby Griffin, McCann and particularly LaGrone present some real threats to Aggie aims of holding the Cubs scoreless. Ends Fannin and Coaser also more than held their own in the offense department in the first game. Coach Wayne Cure’s line also has some formidable material. Ends Voiding and Pollock have proven worthy of watching on of fensive plays. Proposed starting line-ups will be as follows: Baylor—le, Jackson; It, Gruetz- ner; Ig, Simpson; c, Qualls; rg, Gatewood; rt, Milner; re, Mauser; qb, McCann; lb, Griffin; rh, Du- Bois; fb, Gajdosic. A&M—le, Pollock; It, Andrews; lg, Carter; c, Guly; rg, Brown; rt, Wright; re, Voiding; qb, Beesley; lh, Boswell; rh, Anderson; fb, Crow. Third Con. Game Finds Ags Ready The Aggies meet the Arkans Razorbacks here Saturday in j game that could very easily dec! the winner of the conference r If the Ags take this one they still be in very good shape to kle Rice the number one contei] er at present. However if Ags drop this one it will put R| in good condition to come out w| at least a tie for the crown if they should knock off the they would have clear sailing to the title. With this in mind tilt here is the one everyone be looking at this week includl the Texas university Longhorns| The Aggies will enter this ga without the services of the ber one fullback of the team, lie Zapalac, who suffered a ken hand in last week’s game a the Bears and it is definite 1 he "will not be able to play week and it is possible that Ags will miss his services for eral weeks to come. With the ception of this big injury the are in good condition for the ga as Zapalac is the only member the starting team who will not on hand at the kick-off Saturd Ralph Daniels will enter the ga| at the fullback slot this week with this exception the start lineup will be the same as t last week.
