. Cadets Picked Over . VMI Keydets, 35-6 By Frank N. Manitzas Battalion Sports Editor I f It’s a cinch that the Southwest Conference will win one game tomorrow, and the possiblities are good that the | league elevens will sweep all of their tilts. The sure win is the only conference game between the Ar kansas Razorbacks and the Baylor Bruins at Fayetteville, Ark. Last week the SWC teams won all but one of the intersectional tilts to bring the record to 9-4. Everyone has quieted down on the subject of “rough, tough and dirty” football, and it is again time for the predict tions on Saturday’s local games. The Aggies will be looking for their third victory when they meet the VMI Key- dets for the first time. Everyone is picking the Cadets, although they have lost their top -halfback Billy Tidwell because of a pulled muscle. At this time it is not known who Coach Harry Stiteler will use in the place of the Hearne scatback, who leads the conference with his 9.4 average. Buddy Shaeffer and Yale Lary look like possible choices but both would have to be converted to the job, yet each is capable of playing top of fensive ball. Bruisin’ Bob Smith and Glenn Lippman will spark the "backfield attack tomorrow night with Delmar Sikes slated to start at the quarterback post. The big guns wiil continue to be in the line and with good blocking and defensive play— ^like they have shown all year—the forward wall will raise many favorable comments from the spectators. We see the Cadets over the Keydets, 35-6. TU and SMU Over Oklahoma’s Best MANITZAS The Texas Longhorns and the SMU Mustangs are pre-game fav orites in the first double header of major college football which will take place in the Cotton Bowl 'tomorrow. TU has been given the nod over the OU Sooners, mainly because the Cadets racked the Oklahomans rougher than expect ed last- week and also that the Steers have had a weekend of rest. * Another big factor is the scout ing angle which the Orange and White had covered fairly well, with the head coach himself scout- jng the OU-A&M game. We don’t know how many of the Texas play ers were in the stands that day, but you can be sure they all know Which side Leon “Mule Ti-ain” Heath parts his hair on. Coach Bud Wilkinson himself jsaid that his team had to use plays which they had been saving for the Longhorns, and that the final sec onds of the game uncovered the secret play which the Red and White had been working on all year. Sticking with the SWC we pick TU by a TD, 28-21. Oklahoma A&M will enter the field during the afternoon against SMU, and, like the other three teams playing in the Bowl that same day, are undefeated, although last week Drake tied them, 14-14. The Cowboys already boast two up set victories over the conference teams—Arkansas and TCU—and will be gunning for the big upset, a win over the Ponies. SMU may be without the ser vices of Rusty Russell, Jr., and Hank Stollenwerck, but the Mus tangs are in no way lacking in backfield material. Gene “Chick en” Roberts may be favored in the man-under slot, having once played the same spot before his bad acci dent last year. All-American Kyle Rote will be at his best and we expect the Mus tang star to unleash a few passes himself, instead of Fred Benners pitching. SMU in a close one, 21-14. Rice to Overrun Pittsburgh, 27-13 Traveling to the' East for its first game in that section of the country, since 1939, the Rice Owls will clash with the Pittsburgh Panthers at the Pitt Stadium. With a powerful backfield hold up from last year, Rice will be slacked to the hilt with players in winning their third game for the year. Quarterback Vernon Glass is expected to see consider able service and will be tossing quite a few, it being that the Blue and Gold is weak in pass de fense. . Although the big Ws graduated l#st year, the Blue and Grey came up with a fine line this year, and one of the standouts is sophomore Billy Crockett, who, in our opin- ipn, is on his way towards a great collegiate football career. , Billy Burkhalter, Sonny Wyatt, and George Glauser round out the Owls backfield. Statistically speaking on this year’s performances, Rice ovei’- ranks the Panthers, who have yet to win a game. Duke erased Pitt, 28-14, and Ohio State went wild, 41-7. Rice has won two, defeating Santa Clara, 27-7, and Louisiana State, 35-20. Rice has completed 19 of 36 passes for 338 yards and four touchdowns while two were inter cepted, and held their opponents to nine completions in 30 attempts for 100 yards and intercepted one. Completing 17 of 35 passes for 217 yards and one TD, Pitt is over cast by its opponents who have completed 21 of 35 for 386 yards and six counters. Rice to win its third game of the year, 27-13. Glenn-On The Move Baylor Cubs In Wild 2nd Glenn Lippman Lippman is the Southwest Conference’s second best scatback while in the driver’s seat is Glenn’s teammate Billy Tidwell. Tidwell will be absent from the game tonight, apd this may be the'El Campo flash’s chance to grab the lead. By RALPH GORMAN Leading by six points at the end fo the first half, the Baylor Cubs came back to romp and rant and finally rout the Aggie Fish, 33-0, in a wild and wooly second half. Sparked by the spectacular run ning of Cub Halfback Jerry Goody, the Baylor freshmen profited on almost every Cadet error to score in every quarter but the first. Goody, who scored three times for the Cubs, and teammates Mickey Sullivan and Billy Sherman ripped through the Fish line piling up a net of 229 yards rushing, as com pared to 30 for the freshmen from College Station. The howling, cheering, and boo ing fans witnessed a game packed with fumbles and fisticuffs, as three members of each eleven were ordered off the playing field for their over-beligcrent participation. Fifteen yard penalties seemed to be the order of the day as the Cubs were penalized 16 times for a total of 143 yards, one of which was a 13 yard pass interference ruling. The Fish drew four 15 yarders in seven penalties for a total of 85 yards. Quarterbacking for the Fish was Johnny Salyer, whose brilliant passing game along with a 38 yard punting average off the shoe of George Perkins were the strong points in the Cadet offense. Pass Defense—Tight Cub quarterbacks Charles Bris tow, and Lynnon Grant found it Bop Fish Half, 33-0 Tonight On Tiger Field . Tigers Clash With Smithvilie By CHUCK NEIGHBORS The Tigers of A&M Consolidated, who have compiled a fair record against some rough opposition, play host to their first District 32B game with Smithville tonight, with a “rarin’ to go” attitude. In the words of Coach Othel Chafin of Consolidated “Our chan ces are good; if we play good ball we’ll win.” The Tigers have a 1-2-1 record so far this year. They have played two district A teams and were de feated both times, but they trounced Waller 25-6 and tied Mad- isonville 0-0. One of the main reasons for Con solidated’s losses has been in jured Bobby Williams. Williams, who showed great promise in the early part of the season, was side lined wittf'-sote ribs in the ['game against the-*Navasota Rattlers. However, Halfback Williams may very possibly play in to night’s game. Bad news for the Tigers will be the loss of star line man Billy Richards. Richards, hurt in last week’s tilt with Cy- px-ess Fairbanks, will be replaced by Bobby Jackson on offense and by Bob Bai’low in his defensive slot. A definite point in the Tiger’s favor will be the passing of George Johnson, the quartei’back who seems to have come into his own since Williams was injured. Weight will also be a factor to the Tiger’s advantage when they play Smith ville. The Smithville team has played one district and two non-district games. They pounded Flatonia, an other District 32B team, 20-13, and in their contest with Lockhart, were defeated 6-40. They have a great southpaw passes- in George Rapp, their “man- under.” Rapp, who once attended school in College Station, has an impressive average this year against both Flatonia and Lock hart.

Main Stx-eet Call 2-1662 for Appointment Arkansas To Clip Baylor, 20-14 Arkansas now holds the cellar in the SWC and will defenitely be trying to keep out of it this week end when they meet the Baylor eleven on their home field. At the present time, the Bears have won two games, losing one, while the Porkers have a record exactly op posite to Baylor's. ' Baylor has defeated Ai’kansas for the past three years, Ai'kan- sas’ last victory occuxing in 1946 ivhen they shutout the Bruins, 13-0. Last year the Ozark boys outpass- cd the Bears, 146 to 94, but Bay lor made up for it on the ground, 241 to 125, to defeat Arkansas, 35-13. Gone is Adidan Burk, but Coach George Sauer has shown that there is still a passer among the Baptists as Larry Isbell displayed so em phatically last week in the 14-7 upset over the Mississippi Staters. With both teams claiming in juries but with Arkansas still look ing like the team that could throw the conference race in a muddle, we like the Porkers, 20-14. TCU Bangs Tech, 34-13 ^ To this day, the TCU Frogs have yet to show the life, spark, and other qualities which a Dutch Mey er coached aggregation usually demonstrates. They have yet to score over two TDs a game, al though they have won two on single TDs. Texas Tech has been plagued with misfortune after the good showing which they made against TU, and has yet to win a game. Last weekend, West Texas State defeated the Raiders, 28-13. < Boasting, a good running attack, “A WISE MAN GOES TO THE Campus 4^ Confectionery ‘ FOR REAL EATING AND DRINKING ENJOYMENT —Drop In After the Show— C A M P U S Confectionery “Next ttf Campus Theatre” the Lubbockites should be better, but as yet they just haven’t clicked.

After a scoreless first quarter of see-sawing up and down the field in a battle of linemen, punters and safety men, the Cubs emei’ged midway in the second period to draw first blood. On his own 11 yard line, Aggie Fish Geoi’ge Perkins punted 41 yards to the Cub 48, where safety man Billy Sherman took it and re turned it to the Fish 40. On the first play from scrimmage Jerry Goody took the handoff from Charles Bristow, slipped of tackle, picked up his blockers, and sprint ed and squirmed his way to pay dirt. The Cubs diw a five yard penalty for delay of the game and James Duncan missed Baylor’s at tempted conversion from the seven yard line. Passing Good When the clock showed only two minutes remaining in the first half, Johnny Salyer instigated a passing exhibition that took the Aggie Fish deep in Cub territory, where a pass interference ruling gave the Fish a fix*st down on the Cub nine. As the last five seconds ticked away Salyer tossed another aerial complete to Buck Gibson who was downed on the four. The half ended with the Cadets trailing the Cubs by six points. In the opening minutes of the second half Goody took a flat pass from the arm of Lynnon Grant on the Fish 32 and slipped through the arms of three would-be Fish tack- lers to ci’oss the double stripe standing up. Duncan converted on the fii’st attempt, but the Cubs drew a 15 yard penalty for illegal use of hands and the try from the 17 fell short. Midway in the final period Sher man galloped through a gaping hole at left tackle on the Fish 26 and ran to the 10 whei-e he fum bled but recovered over the goal for the third TD. Duncan’s PAT was good and the Cubs sti’engthen- ed their lead to 19 points. On the second play after the kickoff, the Cubs captured Salyers’ fumble on the Fish 15 and in five plays Goody added his third TD plunging thi'ough the center of the line. Dun can convei’ted again to make the score stand, Cubs 26—Fish 0. In the final minutes of the last period Cub Jimmy Davenport in tercepted a Cadet pass from Don Thaxton and from the Fish 36 ran down the east sidelines to touch down-land. Duncan again convert ed to make the final score read, Cubs 33, Fish 0. —Beat VMI— A&M Bowlers To Meet Monday Men interested in working with the A&M bowling team axe asked to report to the bowling alley in the Memorial Student Center, fox- qualifying runs which will be held Monday night at 7, Brest o n Smith, MSG, Bowling Director, an nounced today.
