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.

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.

INTRAMURALS
By
Cliff Ackerman
Old man weather has been good
to the Intramural sports program
this first half of the fall pro
gram. 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

On Friday afternoon, October 25
Kyle Field Was the scene of an
other triumph of the Aggie Bees
as they took the Baylor Cubs to
the cleaners with a score of 21
to 0 in the first of a series of two
games scheduled with the Baylor-
ites.
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.

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.

Aggie Bees Play
Return Game
With Baylor Cubs
In a game scheduled for Friday
night, November 1 the Texas Ag
gie B team will play a return en
gagement with the Baylor Cubs,
at the Baylor stadium in Waco.
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.
