TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1946 THE BATTALION Page 3 Layne Leads Longhorns To 24-7 Win Over Aggies Layne Kicks 24 Yard Field Goal, Runs For One TD, Passed For 2nd Last Thursday afternoon Bobby Layne proved to the 48,000 spectators present in Memorial Stadium that he was every bit as good as the papers had said, and then some. Layne kicked a field goal from the 14 yard line to start the scoring, carried the ball over for the first TD, and then pass ed to set up the second. Layne proved that he was not only a great passer, but a great kicker and runner as well. There were stars a plenty on the field Thursday, but Layne took the honors in all departments. The Texas field goal came as the first quarter ended after the two teams had battled throughout the first period with neither team being able to make too much head way against the other. The drive started on the Tu. thirty where Texas received Barney Welch’s kick, and let it die. From this point Jones, Layne, and Ellsworth teamed up to carry to the Aggie 14 where it was fourth down with six needed for a first. Layne’s kick was with a strong wind and from a slight angle but it sailed true and cut the uprights squarely in the middle making the score 3-0 for Texas. On the kickoff Baty took the ball and lateraled to Scott who fum bled on the Aggie 20 and Wetz recovered for • Texas, but on the next play the tables were turned and the Aggies again took over. Layne got a bad pass from center and when he ran back to gather it up he kicked the ball and it was finally recovered by Shefts on the Texas 42. Texas’s first touchdown came late in the second period when Jones intercepted Baty’s pass on the fifty. Layne then combined passes and running plays to carry the ball down to the Aggie one foot line from which point he car ried the ball over on a line plunge. The Longhorns came right back after the kickoff to threaten the Farmer goal line again, but the half ended before they could carry the ball to pay dirt. As the gun sounded the ball rested on the Farmer two and it was third down for the Longhorns. Layne came right back after the kickoff to lead the Longhorn aggregation to another touchdown over the Aggies. The Longhorns took Stautzenberger’s kick on their own goal line and returned it to the 25 from which point they marched without losing the ball to pay dirt. It took them only eleven plays to accomplish this feat and it was Layne’s passing that set this one up although Jones actually carried it over. Texas’ final score came in the third period after a Texas kick was fumbled by the Farmers and Texas recovered for the Long horns on the Aggie 46. This time it took the Longhorns only eight plays to cross the double stripe and it was Allen who finally made the score for them. The lone Aggie score came late in the fourth period when the Ag gies took over on their own 35 af ter Guess’ kick for the Longhorns had gone out of bounds. The hon ors for this score go to Stan Holl- mig, freshman from Hondo, who passed five times and completed four of them to carry the ball ov er. Wright was on the receiving end of this one, and is the third Aggie to cross the Texas goal line in Memorial stadium, and the first to cross it on a play from scrim mage. Range Management Class Has Trip The Range Management ~ 401 Class left November 23 for a field trip which took them on a three day tour of the range land in the Post, Texas, area. Dr. Vernon A. Young, head of the Range Management Depart ment, was in charge of the trip. Twenty-seven students made the journey in a chartered bus. The Aggies are being considered for a New Year’s day game in the Dixie Bowl, Birmingham, Ala., No announcement has been made by Aggie athletic officials. Coach and Squad Marty Karow, backfield coach and head basketball coach joined the Farmer coaching staff in 1938, and has been with them ever, since except for a tour in the Navy. Prior to his coming to Aggieland Karow served as head baseball and assistant backfield coach at the Naval Academy. Marty graduated from Ohio State University in ’27 and went straight to the Boston Red Sox in the Amer ican League, and he continued to play profesional baseball for sev eral years until his baseball and coaching began to interfere with each other so he had to quit pro fessional baseball, and give his full time to his coaching jobs. Karow says he does not know exactly what he will have in the way of a basketball team because his other duties with the football team have kept him too busy. But he says he will be able to tell more about the squad and its potintiali- ties after a few more workouts. Aggie Basketball Squad Player— Home Town Pos.

ON KYLE FIELD U. V. JOHNSTON Monte Moncrief Makes Dream Eleven The people around Aggieland aren’t the only ones who think they have a GREAT lineman in Monte Moncreif as the FOOT BALL NEWS, a weekly publica tion of Detroit, seems to share this opinion. They picked Monte for their All-American team and named his as the Outstanding Lineman of the year in their final edition for 1946. Monte has made the All-Confer ence eleven all three years he has played here at Aggieland and was picked on the Associated Press second string All-American dream squad last year, and this year his presence in the Farmer forward wall has been one of the reasons for its strength. This is his last year to don the Maroon and White and he has lived up to all expecta tions. Layne Responsible For Aggie Loss The Aggies dropped their last game of the season to a mighty Longhorn aggregation that looked as good as their early press no tices stated. Layne and company proved to be the strongest team the Aggies have faced to date and the Farmers 24-7 defeat was one of the worst of the season. Layne proved that he was All-American Thursday as the defeat might have been a victory had he not been present. His passing was flaw less, and his running was good, and no one can holler too much about his kicking as his field goal from the 14 looked good to yours truly. In my opinion Layne is one of the best all around foot ball players ever to appear in this conference, and he is certainly the best in the conference today. Monte Moncreif, Aggie right tackle, was selected by the FOOTBALL NEWS, weekly pub lication of Detroit, as one of their All-American tackles and was also named as the lineman of the year by this paper. Basketball Season To Open With NTSC Eagles Wed. Night The Aggies meet the North Tex as State College Eagles tomorrow night in the opening game of the 1946-47 Basketball season in De- Ware field house. This game has no effect on any conference, but it will decide for our coaches as to which men will be on the trav eling squad for the long trip that they will take after this game. Fourteen men will make the trip for the Aggies and as yet some of these berths are still open, and these vacancies will be filled from the standouts in this game. Coach Marty Karow said, “We have a good hustling little squad, but we do not have the height that the other conference schools will have.” He does not know wheth er or not that will handicap the team too much or not as it de pends on whether the other teams will have GOOD big teams or just fair. The North Texas squad is on a trip through Texas and this will be their second stop. They play two games in Austin before com ing over here for the engagement with the Aggies. They are trav elling with a squad of ten men and if their pre-war teams can be used as a basis of comparison they will have a very good squad this year. The Eagle squad will include John Lee Brown, guard: Geqrge Beggs, guard; Don Deardoff, for ward; Phillip Price, guard; J. D. Lane, forward; Delbert McKnight, forward; Bud Hopkins, center; Dick Shiebel, guard; Bill Candler, guard; and Bruce Willson, guard. Probable Starting Teams North Texas Pos. A&M Beggs G....

BRYAN MOTOR CO. Your Friendly Ford Dealer With the memories of the foot ball season still warm in every- ones mind the roundball season gets ready to start rolling here at DeWare field house tomorrow night when the Aggies take on the North Texas Eagles. This wil be the first of seven games to be played here and will Jbe the only one until the SWC race gets underway, as the team makes a wide sweep through the far north after this lone home appearance. Marty Karow, head basketball coach, said that he expected to have a strong quintet this season, but they will lack in height, and this will put a handicap on the Farmers as most of the SWC teams are t(^ be tall this season. This is the first year for Coach Karow since before the war, and he expects it to be one of the best in quite a number of years, as the Aggie basketball squad was very weak during the war years. Al though Karow thinks he will have a strong quintet he says he doesn’t have any idea as to how the con ference race will come out, as all other schools will also have their strongest teams in years, and he expects the conference race to be the toughest ever.
