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.

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.

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.
