Longhorns Lose — (Continued from Page 3) Levine speared the surge. Texas shot ahead in the game in fourth period. Claude Arnold, the Sooners’ gifted quarterback, pitch ed out to Heatly on the Oklahoma 40 and Heatly tried a pass down the sidelines. Dillon, a trackman at Texas, gathered in the throw at midfield and scatted to a touch down. Porter’s try for point was wide—and tfyat eventually was the ball game. Townsend Leads Rushers Townsend, who battered the Ok lahoma line, was the game’s lead ing ground-gainer with 85 yards on 29 tries while Tompkins led in passing with eight completions in 17 throws for 106 yards. Vessels and Heath, however, were the most versatile. Vessels not only scored both Oklahoma touchdowns but roared to 76 yards rushing and caught passes for 22, yards. Heath, the great Sooner full back, slashed the Texas line for 67 yards and caught passes for 29. Arnold connected on six passes out of 16 for 84 yards. Heatly turned in some great kicking. He averaged 40.0 yards although having to take several losses in aiming at the coffin cor ner. Oklahoma ........ 7 0 0 7—14 Texas 0 7 0 6—13 Oklahoma scoring: touchdowns, Vessels 2.

The final came when Dave Powell intercepted a desperation Aggie pass on the A&M four and fell across. Bill Sullivan kicked all eight points after touchdown. A fumble on the Aggie one-yard line by Bill Richards robbed SMU of a ninth touchdown. Southern Methodist romped for 254 yai’ds on the ground and passed for 219. The Aggies could get only 47 rushing and 55 throwing. It was Southern Methodist’s big gest score since 1936 when the Methodists slaughtered Texas A&I 61-0.

Tradition Bans Male Yell Leaders Photo hy Battalion Chief Photographer Sam Ivionnary Aggies Forward Wall Great in Th ird Win Of Season (Continued from Page 1) The Cadet forward wall held the Flying Squadron behind the 47- yard line in the first quarter, be hind the victor’s own 43 in the second, while in the third the Key- dets advanced once across the fifty, then to the Farmers’ 6, and in the fourth they advanced once to the 46-. • The second score was set up by Shaeffer, who intercepted a pass thrown by Jimmy Coley and returned it nine yards to the Vir ginians 15. Lippman cracked right tackle for nine, fumbled but Hill- house recovered; Smith went the same way for four, fumbled but recovered; then Shaeffer scooted across for the counter. Hooper’s kick was blocked. From their own 15, VMI decided to pass on fourth down; but the play failed, and the Aggies were quick to capitalize on the break, scoring in two plays with Smith going all the way. Hooper’s try for extra point was good. TD No. Four Before the end of the half the Aggies again scored. This time another fourth down play by the Red and Yellow set things up. VMI’s Joe Stump, who gained 54 yards in 16 carries, took a handoff on a fake punt but was thrown for a seven yard loss. Sikes passed to Hillhouse for the TD, the play cov ering 15 yards. Hooper’s atempted conversion went wide. A fumble by the Aggies in the second half gave the Keydets pos session of‘the pigskin on the A&M 12, but the losers failed to score. After an exchange of the ball, the Farmers came through with TD No. 5 which showed the running power and speed of Bruisin’ Bob. In two plays Smith covered 53 yards with his second carry going for 47 and a touchdown. Hooper’s boot from the 15 was wide.

From this point on, the Aggies used their second and third strings. Graves went in and on his first play completed a pass to Saxe, who crossed the double stripe un touched. The play was good for 42 yards, and again Hooper’s boot was wide. In the fourth period the highest scoring team in the conference went 40 yards for six points with Dobbyn, Saxe, and Haas carrying the mail. Haas set up the score with an eight yard run to the Flying Squadron’s two from where Dobbyn crashed over. Hooper missed his fourth try for extra point for this game and his sixth of the season. Towards the closing moments of the game, A&M scored again with Lemmons scoring on an eight yard run around left end. An eight yard pass from Hooper to Cedric Copeland, Lemmon’s running, and a 15-yard penalty aided greatly in the Farmers eighth counter. Hoop er’s try for extra point was good. Summing it up, Coach Tom Nu gent of VMI said, “the Aggies had too much—of everything.” Gridiron Sketch Tickets for the dinner dance A&M VMI are available at the main desk First downs 15 8 of the MSC and must be purchased Yards rushing .... 267 84 before noon on Wednesday Oct. 18.

By TOM ROUNTREE Yell leading has come a long way at Consolidated A&M since the hec tic days of the late 1930’s when the yell leaders shouted and gyrated before the student body in white uniforms and Elizabeth Mosely Williams led them in yells. Today Consolidated < partisans yell and stomp under the direction of Lve attractive young ladies at tired in maroon and white blouses and skirts. Instead of just a few time honored yells as it was before they give signals for over 30 yells. '1 here hasn’t been any male yell leaders since 1943 and it has al most become tradition for yell lead ers to be of the fairer sex and while they are similar to A&M’s yell leaders in status, they are much more attractive. Two juniors and two seniors are elected by popular vote every spring to serve as yell leaders for the following year. Yell leaders for this year are Dorothy Spriggs, senior head yell leader; Celeste Curran and Louise Street, junior yell leaders; and sen ior yell leaders are Liz Miller and Mary Frances Bond. After yell leaders for this year were decided upon, Dorothy Spriggs tore the cartilage in one of her dimpled knees and the doctor decreed that she would he unable to engage in the gyra tions and contortions that are a necessary part of a yell leaders activities so a special election had to be called to elect a new yell leader. Mary Frances Bond was elected to replace the disabled head “yell- er” but the students wanted Dor- Second Dance Set By Employees Club The second activity of the fall social season for the A&M Em ployees Dinner Club will be a dinner dance to be held at the MSC at 7 p. m.

Consolidated’s yell practices are held every Friday and the students “hump it” and "wildcat” just like the Aggies. Another similarity in the two yell practices is that Consolidated "exes” and Coach Chafin make speeches during the Consolidated yell sessions. Only yell Consolidated uses lhat is the same as those Aggies yell is “Gig ’Em.” Leading the fans and students in whipping the school spirit to a white beat is just one of the jobs which are a responsibility of yell leaders. During football games they throw lemons to the students in the stands and keep oranges on ice for the team. Wrapping the goal posts before home games is another yell leader job. Consolidated will have a pre game bonfire this year for the first time. The bonfire will be held on Oct. 27 before the game with Bastrop. Preparations for the conflagra tion will begin immediately after the game with Smithville and con tinue until the night of the blaze. The lovely misses will sponsor a sign contest before the bonfire and award prizes to the person sub mitting the best sign. Consolidated’s Homecoming Dance, Nov. 10, will feature the bouncing babes as hostesses. If it is the first time for the girl to serve as yell leader her services will be recognized by the issuance of a sweater and should she be a two time winner the award is a gold megaphone similar to the little footballs awarded to the football players.

Reynolds intercepted a Glass pass on his own 45 arid raced to the Rice 27. Armand Difonso chewed up an other 11 yards on an off tackle hand off. A pass from Bestwick to Nick Derosa took the ball to the three as the quarter ended. Play swirled about the slippery midfield until late in the quarter. Coach Jeff Neely’s Texas got started on their first scoring drive with a 15-yard penalty due to a Pitt player clipping. Two short passes by Glass and consistent yardage rolled in the line by Wyatt carried the Owls to the one-foot line. Billy Burkhalter went over on his second attempt. Billy Wright converted. It took the Owls four minutes and 12 plays in the third period to score again. The attack started on the Rice 37 after the kickoff. Burkhalter took over the running chores and alternated with aerial performances of Glass. The wiry quarterback tried three and completed two, one for the four yard touchdown play. A Glass pitch to Bill Allen netted 24 yards for the longest gain of the drive. Pitt could get no farther than the Rice 39 in the third period as the Owls rolled them back with five first downs to one. Johnny Huzvar, a six foot, three inch fullback, led three Pitt campaigns into Rice territory in the final stanza but the Panthers got no closer than the Rice 14.

Bartosh shot two scoring passes to Morton and Morton also cut loose with an 18-yard touchdown scamper to build up a margin the Horned Frogs never tried too hard to increase over the crippled Red Raiders from Lubbock. In the opening minute and again in the third period—when it scored—Texas Tech was a serious threat to the Southwest Confer ence Club. The rest of the time it was held in check by a mixture of regulars and reserves. TT Lone TD The Red Raiders lone touchdown came when Pete Edwards sneaked over from the half-yard line at the end of a 70-yard march. Bartosh’s first payoff pitch went for two yards just before the end of the first quarter. His second was for 15 yards early in the second period. Morton finished Texas Christian’s scoring a few minutes later. Homer Ludiker missed his first try for extra point but made good on the last two attempts. Bartosh didn’t play a single down in the second half, but his first half performance was a brilliant display of smart quarterbacking, deadly passing and power running. Morton was a perfect comple ment to this triple-threat, adding his own firey running to glued- finger pass receiving. Tex. Tech 0 0 6 0—6 TCU 6 13 0 0—19 Texas Tech scoring: touchdown, Edwards.

Poetry Club Hears Critic From College The Bryan - College Station Poetry Club met recently at the YMCA with Mrs. F. L. Thomas presiding over the business meet ing. The group decided to hold future meetings in the homes and to take ballots for popular choice on poems submitted by members for judging. Guest ciitic for the meeting was C. I). Laverty of the A&M English Department. He spoke on “What Poetry Is,” emphasizing the defin ition of poetry. Laverty stressed two points: a poet says the same thing many people think but says it more briefly and that a poem is not great if anyone else could have written it. Mrs. Thomas presented a hook review of “Signature of the Sun,” which is an anthology of Southwest verse. The winners by the judges’ choice in the monthly poetry con test were Stella Stuart first prize and book winner; Jessie Merle Franklin, second prize; and Stella Stuart, third place.
