Results ofA&M-OU
Game—Uncertain
By Frank Manitzas
Battalion Sports Editor
The team which stands 15th among the nation’s major
colleges in rushing offense with an average of 299 yards for
two games will meet the fifth ranking team in the country
tomorrow on Owens Field at Norman, Okla.
This promises to be one of the biggest
and best games across the nation as the Ag
gies enter the fray with all of their support
ers yelling “victory,” and Coach Bud Wil
kinson of OU retreating, yelling back at the
crowd, that they’re right.
Just what seems to be the trouble, no one
knows. A&M with its strongest team in the
past three years meets the Sooners who
claim to have the weakest since the same
time.
The trouble is that although the two
teams have already played this season, both are doing the
unexpected. Favored A&M defeated the Nevada Wolfpack
by ten points more than the experts called for, and racked
the Texas Tech Raiders to a better tune than expected.
Oklahoma, on the other hand, met and defeated Boston
College last week, finishing ahead 28-0 for their 23rd straight
victory in a row. The score was right, but OU didn’t go out
to make it, or it seems that way, and, as we said before, no
one knows.
And, since no one knows, we will let everyone know the
final score, concerning the Cadet encounter. The past two
predictions on Maroon and White games were hit right on
the head ,as we called the difference in points almost exactly
both times. • % * ns*
As it looks from here: the winner tomorrow must score
four TDs, and be on the move all the time—“best defense is
a good offense;” the majority of the game will be played on
the ground, although we expect the Cadets to take to the air
more than the Sooners; it will be an upset. A&M 28, Okla
homa 21.
Bruisin’ Bob Smith will have it rough but should work
fine, although our speed in Gallopin’ Glenn Lippman and
Travelin’ Billy Tidwell, plus the added drive which was dis
covered in the shape of Buddy Shaeffer during the Tech
game, will be the Cadets’ big points in the win.
Just to show, we’re not one-sided, we consulted some
one on the outcome of the game. Dr. C. C. French, Dean of
the College, picks the score in the same proportion that we
do, but with the teams switched. His reason: “I’m no author
ity, but the showing that Oklahoma has made for the past
two years can not be denied, nor can their running strength
be overlooked, but I hope I’m wrong”.

Marshall Rush
As one of A&M’s younger and rougher guards takes to the air, he
gives out with the cry which has been traversing across the campus
during the week—“Beat OU”. When Rush’s six-foot, 210 pound
frame hits the turf, the noise can be heard for miles around, and
the Sooners will probably have their chance to hear it tomorrow.
By RAY HOLBROOK
Beginning what it hopes will be
an all victorious season, the re
shaped Aggie cross country team
left today for Norman, Okla., to
tackle the OU Sooners in the first
meet of the year for both teams.
So close was the early compe
tition in the picking of the five
man team which will compete
against OU, that only two of the
five returning lettermen were able
to make the grade. The five let
termen around whom the team was
supposedly to be built include SWC
Champion Julian Herring, John
Garmany, Jim McMahon, Howard
Jones, and Ales Ortiz.
However, two soph sensations,
Marshall Lazarine and Charles
Hudgins, and a relatively unknown
junior squadman, Charlie Gabriel,
replaced three of the regulars leav
ing only Garmany and McMahon.
Biggest Surprise
Probably the biggest surprise of
the team pre-season workouts is
Lazarine, who beat all comers for
the No. 1 spot on the team in the
tryouts last Tuesday. Garmany and
McMahon followed in that order,
being the only lettermen to make
the team.
Hudgins and Gabriel were fourth
and fifth, respectively.
Almost as surprising as Laza-
rine’s first was Herring’s failure
to get in the top five. He finished
sixth some distance behind Gab
riel; however, Coaches Prank An

concerned since Herring is some
what of the slow starter and has
been working out only two weeks.
The majority of the team has been
working out since early Septem
ber.
Herring Will Ready
The coaches don’t expect Herr
ing to round into shape until the
end of the month, and by the mid
dle of November, he should be
ready to defend his SWC champion
ship.
Oklahoma will field a team made
up chiefly of sophomores though
returning junior letterman Jim
Wilkinson will lead the Sooners.
Support for Wilkinson and his
roughest competition on the home
field include Bruce Drummond,
George McCormick, Kenneth Coop
er, and Bert Vargas.
Drummond was the Big Seven
freshman cross country champion
covering the two-miles in 9^49.7.
McCormick and Cooker were eight
and tenth, respectively, and the
former was also Texas Class AA
half mile state champ in ’49.
On the basis of information re
ceived to date, A&M’s quintet
should come out on top in this
first meet of the year. OU’s sophs
will lack the depth and experience
of the Aggies, who, although they
have two sophs and a junior
squadsman, will be as strong as
presumably thought since the three
newcomers had to beat out proven,
experienced lettermen to make the
team.

SWC eyes will be focused to
morrow on the first and only con
ference game of the day, when the
Arkansas Razorbacks tangle with
the TCU Horned Frogs at Fort
Worth. Each team will be employ
ing new offenses, the Porkers us
ing the only split-T employed in
the league.
Coach Dutch Meyer with his
snazzy T-wing, or what ever he
calls it, may reach the usual per
fection attained by the TCU men
tor which would give the Frogs the
necessary power to win.
From the Ozarks, Coach Otis
Douglas has yet to get his team
reved up, and once it gets going—
lookout. Douglas has had a little
tough luck in getting his pro ideas
buried deep enough into college
football but he should succeed in
the next few weeks and produce a
team for the upper portion of the
conference ratings.
Dog Dawson, end coach of the
Aggies, feels the same way as we
do, so we’ll let him tell you the
score, “Arkansas 21, Texas Christ
ian 13”.
Mississippi State Over Baylor, 14-6
Mississippi State will have a
rough time getting started but once
they do, it should be rather smooth
sailing over the Baylor Bears.
State was supposed to be a weak
team but after a startling 7-0 up
set win over Tennessee, we wonder.
The Bears have already shown
that they don’t have near the cal
iber of last year’s team, although
the addition of Buddy Parker, the
Bruins should improve. Passing
will hurt the Bruins.
We believe that they will prob
ably score once because of .the
number of passes which they toss,
and we also believe, and it is very
likely, that the Staters will inter
cept a pass as they did against
Tennessee and score.
Baylor alumnus at A&M, Grady
Elms, assistant director of student
activities, goes along with us the
same way and according to his
“thorough and fool proof system,”
he helps us in picking the Maroons
to down the Green and Gold, 14-6.
Mustangs to Ride Tigers, 34-7
Last week when we started pre-
iictions about the school on the
hill, we ran into a little trouble.
We were the only persons in this
■egion predicting that Ohio State
vould win, and until Fred Benners
was let out of his cage with his
perpetual throwing arm, and reli
able Rusty Russell, who was calling
all the plays and catching the ma
jority of the passes, was allowed
to outmaneuver the Buckeyes, we
seemed to have it. We came up
with one prediction, which was
right.
“Killer Kyle Rote will not be the
star for the Ponies, win or lose”
. . . that was one of our predic
tions last week.
This week: if Rote doesn’t go,
neither will the Mustangs, So watch
Killer and unless the “Varsity” is
overconfident, and the Missouri
eleven extra keyed up, SMU should
win, 34-7.

LSD Over Rice, 21-13
Why oh why, we’ll never know.
Last week, we had a tip about San
ta Clara. Since the Broncs had
played California such a good
jame, Rice was supposed to have
jeen a pushover for the team from
;he coast. We had the score ap
proximately right, but the teams in
die wrong positions.
Should the Owls play as well as
they did against Santa Clara, we’ll
be wrong an<j the Blue and Gray
should prove ’ triumphant, but we
stick to the Tigers, 21-13.
Charley Royalty, Aggie left half
back who will miss the Oklahoma
game because of a dislocated shoul
der, picks the Rice Owls.

Handcuffs are made of steel—the stuff with
which we build bridges and skyscrapers and
churches!
But all men have not learned to build. Some
have learned to destroy.
Hence, in a land where men treasure free
dom, there must be handcuffs for some in order
that the rights of all may be safeguarded.
But there is a better way. Religious training
is a sure vaccine against the spiritual disease
that produces criminals. The Church can pro
vide our children with the God-given moral
foundations on which life should be built.
And which is the stronger safeguard of the
things we hold dear? A pair of steel “bracelets”
... or a Church crowded with eager children and
conscientious parents?
