    Aggies Continue As Top Scorers . . .
Mustangs, Bears,
A&M proved that Southern
Methodist wasn't the only team in
the Southwest Conference that
could travel through the air as
well as on the ground in using a
second half scoring spree to tromp
TCU.
A good replacement for the
talked of Mustang tosser Fred Ben
ners is. Dick Gardemal, who com
pleted eight of 13 attempted pass
es for 135 yards and two touch
downs helping raise A&M total
passing yardage to 536.
In defeating the TCU Horned
Frogs, 42-23, the Aggies broke all
kinds of jinxes and also maintained
the high scoring for the confer
ence.
In the jinx department, the
Cadet eleven won its first South-
west Conference game since '47
when they defeated Baylor, 24-0.
On records Bruisin’ Bob Smith
jumped to the lead in conference
scoring with 60 points, six more
than were held by Randall Clay
of TU at a similar time last year,
and A&M scored the most points
in a conference game since they
defeated Arkansas, 41-0, in 1942
and hold a total of 204 markers in
five games.
Southern Methodist, who used
their exclusive rights on Kyle
Rote playing him consistently
through the game, defeated a be
wildered Rice eleven, 42-21. The
Texas Longhorns scored late in the
fourth quarter then held Arkan
sas at bay to win 19-14.
Baylor became the fourth SWC
last times today

team to defeat Texas Tech, win
ning 26-12.
A&M continued to lead the con
ference in ground gained and be
gan to push the Mustangs heavily
on total offense with a barrage
of completed passes. The Maroon
and White gained 206 through
the air and 280 on the ground
against TCU.
TU, in defeating Arkansas, had
trouble all the way. Byron Town-
Dick Gardemal
send was the Longhorns’ star as
he gained 144 yards in 25 carries.
Rote carried 22 times for 150 yards
against Rice, and Bruisin’ Bob
traveled 24 times for 146 yards,
bringing his total to 593.
★ SMU 42, Rice 21 ★
The Ponies ran the Owls ragged
scoring in every quarter and twice
in each the second and fourth
periods.
SMU struck for touchdowns the
first two times it had the ball,
then beat off a Rice comeback and
polled along easily as two pass-
intei'ceptions got a pair of quick
scores.
The ■ victory was the fifth
straight for the Methodists, the
nation's third ranking team this
week.
For Rice, starting defense of its
1949 Southwest Conference champ
ionship, it was ,the first defeat in
13 games, its first conference loss
sipce Oct. 1948.
Rote scored the first and third
SMU touchdowns and paved the
;way for another as the Methodists
relied most of the night on power
instead of their anticipated, gei’ial
show.
Benners to Hawn
Benners connected with End
Jimmy Hawn for the second Mus
tang score. Pat Knight and David
Powell teamed to. start the second
half rout by returning a Rice
pass all the way. Val Joe Walker
intercepted another and raced to
the next score.
The Mustangs’ final tally came
as Gene Roberts climaxed a 75
yard march with a smash from the
7.
Fullback George GTauser was the
big noise for Rice, scoring on quick
opening plays of 17 and 58 yards.
Quarterback Vernon Glass passed
for 49 yards to End Bill Howton
for the other Owl tally.
Bill Sullivan made good on all
six SMU conversions, as did Bihy
Wright on Rice’s three.
Glauser Leads Rushers
Glauser’s touchdown runs made
him the night’s leading ground
gainer, netting 163 in 14 tries.
Rote was second with 150 yards in
22 carries.
Benners had the edge oyer Glass
in passing, completing 11 out of
17 for 108 yards. Glass completed
five of 4.4 for 87 but had three in
tercepted. Only one toss by Ben
ners was gathered in by Rice.
The Methodists’ scoring drive
were good for 68, 82, 61, and 75
yards. Po.well traveled 20 yards
for his score after taking a lateral
from Knight, who has intercepted
a Glass pass on? the Rice 33.
Walker took a pass intended for
Rice end Bill Howton and moved
untouched 16 yards.
Rice tried to sandwich a touch
down in between the first two
SMU scores but failed, then
cashed in on a fumble by Benton
Musslewhite, Mustang quarterback,
to reduce its deficit to 7-14.
Frank Allen recovered on the
S.MU 17, and Glauser’s touchdown
explosion came on the first play.

His second big run also was on
the first scrimmage play after
the Mustangs had been forced to
punt for the first time midway
in the third period.
Glass to Howton
Glass’ pass to Howton came with
five seconds left in the seconfh per
iod. It had been preceded by : ah
SMU interference' penalty that car
ried Rice from its 22 to the Mus
tang 49.
Rice made only tliree good
threats that were halted. Taking
the kickoff after SMU’s first
score, the Owls moved from their
23 to the Mustang 14 before losing
on downs on the 18. The drive be-
,gan . as , halfback Sonny Wyatt,
through the line by 7 yards, later-
aled to GTauser who raced to the
visitors’ 32 before being caught
from behind by Halfback Ray
Cleckler.
Rice In 2nd Half
Starting the second half like ,it
intended to knot the count at 21-
21, Rice moved from its 22 to the
SMU 22 before being shoved back
to the 30.
In the game’s closing seconds
Glass took to the air and shot the
Owls 39 yards to the SMU 14 be-
for time ran out.
The Mustang power plays were
so effective Benners was not alert
ed until the last two plays before
the second touchdown. By then a
15-yard penalty had set the Mus
tangs back. Benners’ first toss to
Johnny Champion get five yards
and the second, to Hawn, got a
score.
★ TU 19, Arkansas 14 "k
Texas, who meets the Feathered
Flock of Rice this weekend, opened
their SWC season with a calm and
cool comeback over Arkansas with
the showings of a champion. Ben
Tompkins’ passing and Townsends’
running sparked the Longhorns at
tack.
Townsend scored two touchdowns
as the Longhorns overcame in the
fourth period a 14-13 lead posted
by the Razorbacks.
The Razorbacks seized a one-
point lead with two and a half
minutes left in the third period
when Bob Cross intercepted a Tex;
as pass on the Longhorns 41 and
quarterback Don Logue plunged
across the goal nine plays later
from the 1.
Arkansas’ George Thomason
kicked the extra point, and it
looked big to stunned Texas fans
who recalled the Longhorn’s 14-13
loss to Oklahoma last week.
TU Scores Early
But Texas, in a drive marl^ed
by a 24-yard pass from Tompkins
to end Ben Procter and a 24-yard
scamper by Townsend, scored at
the opening of the fourth period in
a 77-yard march which saw Town
send on the payoff end of a one-
foot plunge across the goal line.
10 minutes into the first period
The Longhorns opened the scor
ing 10 minutes into the first per
iod when back Bobby Dillon raced
11 yards to cap a six-play march
which netted 51 yards.
Texas’ Billy Porter missed the
extra point try but his kick was
good early in the second period
when Townsend punched across
from the one-yard line. The mark
er was set-up when Arkansas’
Louie Schafele failed to get away
a kick on his own 18, and Tomp
kins on the next play ran 17 yards
to the 1.
Top Play of Day
But the top play of the day
came midway in the second quar
ter when Arkansas’ 6-foot, 2-inch

Before bowing to Baylor, Tech
had a brii'l momi'iil. Of glory.
As 1^,000 Baylor partisans sat
glum, the Raiders drove 59 yards
for a first period touchdown and
their only lead of the day. J. W.
Thompson went over from the four
yard line for the score.
Then Tech was through on the
scoreboard until the third period.
Three TD Lead
In the interim, Coach George
jSauer’s Baylor outfit went into a
three-touchdown lead, and by the
time halfback Bobby Close got
away for a 76-yard touchdown run
in the third period the Tech cause
was hopeless.
Baylor scored a pair of touch
downs in the second period. Half
back James Parker cracked oyer
from the two for the first one.
Young Larry Isbell, the driving
force in the Baylor backfield, hit
Parker with a 22-yard pass for the
second.
Baylor heaped on another touch-
,down four minutes into the third
period, sending halfback Don Car
penter over from the one yard line.
Close scored for Tech on the sec
ond play after the kickoff, but be
fore the tim’d period ran out full
back Richard Parma got his first
touchdown as a Baylor collegian.
It was a four-yard plunge.—Based

Garmany Leads
Cadet Harriers
Over Texas U.
Led by junior star John
Garmany, the Aggie cross
country team completely out
classed the University of Tex
as Harriers last Friday after
noon over the Austinites’ 2.6 mile
course, winning by a score of 19-
42.
So dominating were the Aggies
that the only Longhorn to break
into the Farmers’ first five was C.
A. Rundell, a junior college trans
fer who took 2nd behind Garmany
Right on Rundeil’s heels was
Julian Herring and only a few
yards back were Aggies Marshall
Lazarine, Charlie Gabriel, and
Charles Hudgins.
Garmany’s time was a blistering
12:28 which is an average of 4:48
on each mile. So close were all the
runners that the first nine men fin
ished less that 20 seconds behind
the winner.
Setting the pace all the wqy,
Garmany ran a beautiful race,
never letting Rundell get close
enough to take the lead, although
the two were fairly close all the
way.
Herring showed signs of last
year’s form when he came from the
last at the mile mark to take third,
nipping Lazarine at the close of the
race.
The Cadets next meet will be
November 3rd against a strong
Arkansas team. Arkansas is the
Maroon and White’s s t r o n g e s t
threat for the title, and a win
in November would help the out
look of the situation as to A&M’s
chances for capturing their third
Southwest Copference title.
Garmany’s time was 12 seconds
faster than that of the winner
from Oklahoma in the dual match
two weeks ago between the Soon-
ers and the Aggies at Norman.
Coach Frank Anderson explained
this saying, “The boys had not
yet reached their top shape, and
the Sooners held an edge on con
ditioning time.”
