’MURAL
NE ITS
BY jBOB ALLEN
The A Quartemtater football
eleven, last year’s champions ahd
one of the strongest contenders
for the title again this year,
showed E Air Force Its power in a
terrific 7-0 win yesterday.
Both teams came on the field
undefeated, untied and barely
scored on in previous play.
QMC won the toss and chose to
« receive therkickoff. After running
three plays for no gain, the Quar
termaster team kicked only to have
the punt blocked on the three-yard
line. It looked like the Air Force
team had six points cinched.
After running four plays, how-
. ever, they failed to make the TD
and the ball went over on downs
t6 the QMC. This time the kick
was good and the game settled
down-to a hard struggle in mid-
field.
QMC Intercepts
The decisive break came when
the^Air Force tried a screen pass.
Alert Bob Schubert figured this
play out, intercepted the aerial,
and jan it inside the five-yard line
where he was caught from behind.
From that point QMC made the
TD in two plays. They had to
make the extra point twice; once it
was called back for an off sides
penalty. -
Another of the strong football
teams, B Infantry, which has had
but six points Scored on it all
year, continued on their champion
ship ir.prch by downing C Cavalry,
6-0. B j Infantry has one of the
best offensive records of the year
as well as the best defensive rec
ord. —h-
^ Only Three Undecided
All but three of the football
leagues have been completed. The
strongest teams from last year
seem to be well on the road to
repeating this year. The old cham
pions, A. Quartermaster, appears
to be in the same position again
due to the win-loss record,
Other strong repeaters are A
Infantry, C Infantry, and Senior
Company. New teams in the choice
I>ositions are League F. winners,
B Transportation, and a big fast
team from A Army Security.
Last Friday afternoon, the strong
ASA footballers powered over E
Field iii- a decisive 18-0 victory.
ASA Starts Fast
The ASA took the offensive early
in the gattie and held it the remain-
'der^of the time. E Field won the
toss and choose to receive the
kickoff. After attempting three
running plays Tor no gain, a fourth
down kick was blocked by Carl
Scutldcr, big guard from Yorktown.
' ASA took over well down in the
Fiel<3 Artillery territory, and in
three plays they scored the first
TD, but failed to tally the extra
point, f
Constantly outstanding in the
line for the ASA were Scudder
and Leonard Hillebrandt; while the
best backs were Mel Moncrief and
Denny Hudson.

BY FRANK SIMMEN, JR. j
Playing like a hungry bunch of
sharks stalking their prey, the Ag
gies w ater polo team scored three
points in each half of a match
in P. L. Downs Natatorium yester
day afternoon to completely de
vour s scrappy Baylor aqua squad,
6-to-0.
Ralph Ellis revealed the Ag
tactics early by grabbing a quick
handoff from Paul Fleming, turn
ing in a circular motion, ana heav
ing the ball into the net on a beau
tiful backhand shot. Unfortunately
the whistle had blown beforehand,
nullifying the goal.
A&M’s slick offensive machine
clicked throughout the game, mak
ing it unnecessary for Aggie
goalie Tommie Comstock to dis
play his defensive ability. Oqly
eight attempts were knocked
down by Comstock as most Bay
lor scoring threats were stopped
short by the alert pair of Cadet
guards. j r
No Stopping Ags
Once the Aggies started sinking
shots there was no stopping them.
Only three and a half minutes
had elapsed in the first half be
fore the Farmer team had racked
up two tallies, and two minutes
later another score was slipped
through the net.
McKenzie on a free throw-pitch
ed out to Ellis in the far right
corner. Ellis slipped the ball into
the net for the first score after
taking the toss.
Ellis scored again a few mom
ents later from about mid-court.
Finding himself surrounded by
Baylor players, he spotted a hole
and jumping high into the air,
heaved the sphere past Bee,Ware,
Bear goalie, who made a vain at-
tetnpt to block the shot.
With only two minutes left in
the first half Van Adamson whip
ped around Bruin right forward
Andy Odom to bounce the ball in
to; the mesh for the third one*
pointer.
Qne minute after the whistle
sounded to start the second half*
Bill Sargent took a quick handoff
from McKenzie and threw tho
ball towards the goal. After glanc
ing off the hands of Baylor goalio
Ware, the ball sailed an into the
n$!t.
A minute later Sargent again
scored, this time with two Bay-
opei
the
lor men
slim swi
out of^ _
ning, and sailed the ball into
basket for the fifth Aggie
score for the night, j(

Happy Grass Fan
Walks Into Jail
Houston, Tex. <£*>—A 31-year-old
Galveston shoe shiner was having
a smoke and stroll last night.
Police Patrolman J. T. Cockrell
strolled by the stroller and didn’t
like the smell of the smoke.
The stroller’s cigarette turned
out to be marijuana and he had
40 more just like it in a pocket.
Cockrell took the man to the
police station, where Jailer V. V.
Irby remarked:
“Man, you must be crazy, smoke
a marijuana cigarette right out on
the street,”
' “I ain’t crazy," the shoe shiner
replied. “Just careless."
