Smith, Lippman Named For
Weekly Battalion Honors
Bruiser Relaxin ’
By Ralph Gorman
Once again the Battalion Sports Staff
is called upon to name the lineman of the
*week for another Aggie grid classic. And
once again the Battalion honor goes to big
“Jumbo” Andy Hillhouse.
Weighing in for the VMI game at 213
pounds and standing 6’ 3” on the gridiron,
he showed the partisan fans what complete
coverage of the end posts can be.'
He charged through the Keydet
line several times to break up po
tential VMI ground-eating plays.
Andy To Captain
Hillhouse, A&M’s candidate for
all-conference end, will captain the
Cadets in their Southwest Confer
ence opener Saturday against Tex
as Christian University.
It will be the fifth straight week
for an Aggie senior linesman to
captain the team.
When the Aggie quarterbacks
elected to ppss, Andy was always
to be found breaking into the clear
and on three occasions was on the
receiving end of aerials to gain a
total of 120 yards through the air.
Not to be stopped with just
gaining yardage, Andy carried Phe
of these tosses on into the end
zone for the second Aggie touch
down. His third TD for the 1950
season, he' now has a total of 18
points to rank with seven other
SWC stars for fourth place among
the conference scorers.
Out Of ’49 Lineup
Andy was out of action for the
’49 campaign, but led the team in
blocked punts during the ’48 sea
son. The rangy end from Alvin
" made honorable mention on United
Press’ All-American team of 1948.
Should Andy continue in the
same stride that he has shown in
the first four games this season,
he is a sure bet for all-confer-
*ence end and a strong' candidate
for All-American honors.

’Mural News
For this week’s Back of the Week honors,
the Battalion Sports Staff has chosen All-
American candidate Bruisin’ Bob Smith.
In last Saturday’s game with the Keydets
from Virginia, Bob crashed through the op
posing line time and again to chalk up a
net rushing gain of 115 yards. One of the
most called upon fullbacks in college foot
ball today, Bob lugged the pigskin
13 times, scoring twice—one being
on a 47 yard jaunt through the
entire VMI team.

At least C.Q.’s not so bad any more since
FLO ID filed my RADIO.
Leading the conference in scor
ing honors, Bruisin’ Bob has cross
ed the double stripe at least twice
in every game for a total of nine
touchdowns and 54 points.
The 76 times that he has toted
the leather give him the distinction
of being the most worked member
of the SWC. For these 76 carries
he has rolled up almost 450 yards
for a healthy average of 5.9 yards
per carry.
Tipping the scales at 192 pounds,
the former all-stater from Lamar
(Houston) was considered the best
power runner in the SWC grid
circles during the 1949 campaign.
Better ’49 Record
The present season is less than
half gone and Bob already has
scored six more points than his
all-season total of 48 points for
’49. At the rate that he is go
ing, he will have amassed more
than twice his 1949 rushing gain
when the season closes. A record
of this sort should make the Cadet
Power Man a unanimous choice for
any all-American team.

This may not look like Bruisin’ Bob, mainly because he is rarely
seen moving in such a leisurely manner. But Smith is definitely
the workhorse from the SWC backfields, having carried the ball
76 times for 447 yards, which ranks seventh in the nation.

Editor Protests
TU-OU Contest
Austin, Oct. 18—UP) — A
“we - wuz - robbed” cry was
raised yesterday by Sports
Editor Fred Williams after he
viewed movies of the Texas-
Oklahoma football game.
Williams said ' in the Austin
American the camera caught at
least four crucial plays which were
mis-called by the officials and
helped Oklahoma beat Texas, 14-13.
Longhorn Coach Blair Cherry
said he had no criticism of the of
ficiating
Williams said the officials
missed the boat when they ruled
that Right Half Lew Levine failed
to score for Texas on the first
half’s next-to-last play.
The sports writer said Referee
Bob Miller was wrong when he
decided that Longhorn fullback
Byron Townsend fumbled on Ok
lahoma’s 5-yard line, where the
Sooners recovered. Williams said
Townsend’s forward progress had
been stopped on the iUA-yard line
and the play should have been
whistled dead there before he was
thfoAn back. 1 ' ’ '
An offside penalty should have
been called against Oklahoma
tackle Ed Rowland on the fateful
fourth-quarter play in which Billy
Porter failed to get off his punt,
Williams wfote. Oklahoma took
the ball on Texas’ 11 and scored
in two plays to tie the score.
“The first thing that moves is
No. 74 (Rowland),” he said. “The
big tackle is offside, arid practic
ally everybody in the stands and
press box saw it. The newsreel
camera caught it. The television
caught it. NBC’s Bill Stern caught
it.”
The writer said Miller and Head
Linesman Clay Vanreen were guil
ty of poor officiating.
Asked his opinion Cherry said:
“I haven’t raised my voice one
time. I haven't made any criticism
of the way the game was called.”

The 190 pound crashing fullback

Dallas, Oct. 18—(/P) —
Four schools stand to slice a
$400,000 melon—the receipts
from the gigantic football

Oklahoma and Texas and Southern
Methodist and Oklahoma A&M.
Oklahoma and Texas each will

officials said today.
The audit and division of receipts
from the Southern Methodist-Okla-

SMU officials reported.
However, unofficial estimates
place the split for each school at
between $76,000 to $80,000 from a
gross of $179,000.

eight have fallen into the eager

Isbell Top SWC Punter
Lary Isbell, Baylor’s punting
specialist, ranks ninth among the
nation’s punters. In four games he

T'he leading pass receiver in the

who has snagged 28 areials for a

Other firsts in statistics' across

In three games Cornell has seen

As we sit here fitfully writh
ing our hands in fiendish glee, the
inspired words of “Dr.” Paul B.
Williamson charge from ear to ear:
“Three hard-riding, straight
passing football outfits from Texas
galloped full tilt into the William
son Big Ten this week as the bal
ance Of football power in the Uni
ted States shifted to the South
west.”
“Southern Methodist took over
the No. 1 spot . . . The University
of Texas is No. 5, WITH TEXAS
A&M NO. 9.”
Of course this is great news to
A&M, but when you notice such
powerhouses as Vanderbilt, Geor
gia, California, Wisconsin, Mary
land, Illinois, and Notre Dame
ranking behind the Aggies, it must
be' realized' that the Cadets have
their work cut out for them.
Williamson’s Top Ten
This is how Williamson ranks
his first ten: SMU, Oklahoma,
Kentucky, Army, Texas, Washing
ton U., Ohio State, Stanford, Texas
A&M and Vanderbilt. The second
ten are Georgia, Rice, California,
Wisconsin, Miami U., Princeton,
Clemson, Maryland, Mississippi,
and Cornell.
Down in the 40th, 51st, and 69th
positions' Respectively we find
TCU, Arkansas and Baylor.
The Mustangs made the trip
from fifth to first this week be
cause “No other team in the coun
try can equal this record: SMU
33, Georgia Tech 13; SMU 32,
Ohio State 27; SMU 21, Missouri
0; SMU 56, Oklahoma A&M 0.”
This is the second consecutive week
that three SWC teams have had
control of first place as Te3as
rested there last week.
“Just Another Loser”
Seven days ago we said that
with “some heads-up football and
a little luck ... We will see the
day that Mr. Williamson is forced
to admit the worth of the Texas
Aggies.” The taste of this ninth
position is sweet, but it is also
something to worry about. In weeks
