Rodeo, sponsored by the Saddle and Sirloin Club,
BY HAROLD GANN
A&M’s determined gridsters
bowed in. defeat, 27-6, to the Ar
kansas Razorbacks before a home
coming crowd of some 20,000 sun
drenched partisans in Razorback
Stadium Saturday.
The game broke a deadlock be
tween the two clubs in a rivalry
which has existed since 1903 and
gave, the Porkers an 11 to 10
edg£ in wins with two of the con-
tense ending in ties. -
For an inspired Cadet aggrega
tion, the game was without doubt
the most weird affair of the sea
son. Although the final score does
n’t prove it, A&M was not outr
manned. They were simply out-
scored.
Maroons Show Improvement
The Ags exhibited great improve
ment in their blocking and tackling.
The Farmers’ running attack was
at Its best and they entered the
game with drive, spirit, and hustle
unmatched in previous games this
year. j
Mistakes made when they count-
ed most proved to be the Cadets
downfall. But mistakes can be ex
pected of a team with as little
experience as the relatively young
Farmers have had. Such an inex
perienced team will make great' italized on Aggie boners for the
improvements when it irons the
discrepancy from its system.
During the first half a r»P-
rparing battle took place and Ar
kansas held an uncomfortable sev
en tp Six lead at halft&me. Not
a fan in the stadium could be cer
tain 6f the outcome of the game un
til midway in the third quarter
when Arkansas made the score
13 to 6 in their favor. Razorback
tackle Stancil pounced on the
ball in the end zotie, after a team
mate had fumbled, to give the
Porkers this game deciding tally.
Issue Still Uncertain
But many in the stands still felt
that is was anybody’s ball game.
Not until Arkansas captain Red
Duke powered over from the Aggie
four early in the fourth stanza
could jubiliant Razorback fans
comfortably feel a victory in the
making for their side.

Beginning with a short history
of the college, the article points
out that throughout its existence,
A&M has been “a bastion of na

recognized stronghold of the
rugged individualistic philosophy
which is native to Texas."
The thoroughness, liberality,
and practibility of the educatiohjat
A&M have made the college one of
the outstanding technical schools
of I the nation, the article adds.

many religions mix freely without

the Hogs on their heels dh several
occasions. The Cadets’ rnosi re
markable showing was their pass
ing attack and, as expected,’ Ar
kansas had much difficulty ..in
halting A&M’s aerials.
Gardemal Shines
Little Dick Gardemal, sophomore
quarterback who hasn’t received
much action this season, turned-, in
a sensational performance as he
sparked the team with his passing
and running. But, just as the Ag
gies would threaten' to score, a
pass interception pr a fumble would
drown their hopes.
Gardemal completed 14 o( his
23 passes for a total of 143 yards
and the only Aggie touchdown. Co
captain Wray Whittaker displayed
his best form of the season Sptr
urday as the Arkansas pass de
fense could not keep him covered.
Whittaker-was the target on almost
every pass play and, as a result,
he should be high in the statis
tics column for receivers this week.
Bob Smith continued his leader
ship of the SWC ground gainers.
He carried the ball eleven times
for 44 yards. He was undoubtedly:
the game’s standout runner.;
Muscles Campbell didn’t see ge-
tion at all because of a bad kneje.
Strange as it may seem, Campbell
re-hurt his knee while descending
some stairs on the Arkansas cam
pus last Wednesday. He is expected/
to see very little action for the
remainder of the year.
