Kyle Field Place
Of Merriment, Glee
Gann
By Harold Gann
It was just after a power-packed Aggie team had merci
lessly ripped through TCU with a surprising 42-point last
half scoring splurge.
The atmosphere enveloping Kyle Field was charged with
merriment and glee. The Aggie Yell Leaders, once again
captured by the Cadet Corps, were carried for their tradition
al dunking in Prexy’s Triangle.
Aggie-exes were literally walking on clouds, the Aggie
gridsters were shouldered to the dressing room, and A&M
was back in football bigtime.
One significant fact, dramati
cally welcomed on historic Kyle
Field, mushroomed throughout the
Southwest: The Aggies are defin
ite contenders for the conference
crown.
How db you account for A&M’s
scoring of 42 points during the
second half against a team which
had previously yielded an average
of only eight points per game?
Seeking its solution, we carried
that question into the Aggie dress-
iog room, a bedlam that Dick
Todd, the former great open-field
runner, would have trouble get
ting through.
instinctively, we waited for End

, Coach Dawg Dawson to spend most
of his strength while bear-hugging
the players before encountering
him.
“Sheer power and determina
tion,” quipped a smiling Dawson.
Dick Cardemal, who engineered
the team to all six touchdowns,
said “there were several reasons,
but the most important was the
Aggie line.”
“The blocking was terrific. It
seemed to me that Delmar Sikes
was getting the ball to our backs
just a fraction of a second too
late, so I decided if I got a chance
to play, I’d correct that.”

“They just overpowered us,”
commented Dutch Meyer, veteran

was a team in the country that

line.
“But the Aggies did—and for
miles. They have lots of man
power. Our boys played as good as
they could,” concluded Meyer.
A great amount of sportsman
ship was - shown when a majority
of the Aggie team took time to
offer words of sympathy and regret
to Dan Wilde, who was lying on a
training table waiting an ambu

KILL THE '
Mink Leads B QMC Over
B Athletics In Football
By JOE BLANCHETTE
Led by their ace tailback, Sher
man Hink, the footballers of B
QMC stomed to a 25-6 win over
the hapless team from B Ath
letics.
Martinez started the touchdown
parade for the supplymen _ late in
the second period. Athletics, at
tempting to pass from their own
six yard line, saw the play back
fire as the alert Martinez grabbed
the pigskin and stepped untouched
across the goal line.
B Athletics came fighting back
and on the last play before the
half knotted the score on a six-
yard touchdown pass.
Midway in the third period with
the bail in possession of the QMC
deep in enemyi territory Hink
dropped back and fired an eight
yard pass which ended up on the
Athletic eight yard line. On the
next play scored on an off-tackle
smash. The conversion try failed.
Early in the fourth quarter the
speedy Hink saw action once more
as the men of B Athletics watched
him speed practically the entire
distance of the field with an inter
cepted pass. This time Alton En-
loe passed to John Heft for the
extra point. This put the QMC
ahead 19-6.
Shortly before the tilt ended B
Quartermaster had tallied again to
make the final score read 25-6.
A 30 yard aerial from Giesecke to
Kahanek was all that was needed
as B Transportation stopped B In
fantry, 9-0. The TC footballers tal
lied their other two points on a
safety.
The B Engineers behind a strong
forward wall waltzed to a 19-0
verdict over D Infantry.
Bob Bradford set up the first
touchdown on a nice 25 yard run.
He tossed to Carol Taylor from the
18 yard line for the TD.
The Engineers allowed the infan
trymen to get inside their 20 yard
line only once during the entire
tilt.
A Infantry and G Air Force bat
tled to a 0-0 tie with the infantry
men winning on penetrations. Don
Stigall captained the winning team.
I Air Force edged past D Vets,
6-0.
Basketball
A Ordnance piled up a 14-9 lead
and never relinquished it as the
ordnancemen stopped A Seniors,
29-15.
Tom Colley led the Ordnance at
tack with 14 points. Ken Colley
was runnerup with 10 points. G.
C. Dumuth led the seniors with
five points.
Dick Walker hooped the net for
ten points as B CAC dropped A
Air Force 29-8.
B Field Artillery coasted to an
easy 24-13 victory over A CAC.
Messersmith was high point man
of the contest with 10 points for
the winners. Lockhart led A Coast
Artillery with five points.

Williamson lost three more members of his first ten this
week—eighth-place Stanford, sixth-place Washington and
No. 10 Vanderbilt.
Into the spot vacated by Stanford
jumped the “Second-half” Aggies of Texas
A&M, and it would be peachy to keep them
UP THERE.
What did Harry Stiteler have to say
about the game? This is v/hat he said to
Loren McMullen of the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram who asked him how good A&M
would be if the mistakes—fumbles, that is
—were eliminated.
“I guess we could beat anybody.” Mr.
Stiteler, you probably know how much we
Walker hope you are right.
There was a new deal for the Big Ten this week. As
Washington, Stanford and Vanderbilt turned out to be slow
freights who had to be sidetracked for three streamliners—
Michigan, Rice and California. SMU still holds the driver’s
seat and is followed by Oklahoma, Army, Kentucky, Ohio
State, Texas, California, Texas A&M, Rice and Michigan to
complete the top ten.
In the second group come Miami (Fla.), Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Tennessee, Illinois, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, In
diana and Georgia.
Why Kentucky In Top 10
We are overjoyed to see the
Southwest Conference taking over
four positions in Williamson’s top
ten, but on the other hand, why
Rice, why Kentucky? Everyonte
knows what happened to the Owls
this past weekend, but do you
understand the Kentucky story.
The fourth-place Wildcats have
yet to play a strong team. LSU
and Mississippi are the only
“name” teams they have met.
True, Kentucky whipped Ole Miss
27-0, but so what? Mississippi who
has defeated only Memphis State
and College of the Pacific was “up”
to overturn 15th Tennessee and
on that round-robin of compara
tive scores Williamson seems to
base his placement.
The only thing that LSU has
done is beat the same College of
the Pacific and tie Georgia. Par
don me, we forgot that Kentucky
beat North Texas State, Dayton,
Cincinnati and Villanova.
For the rest of the Southwest
Conference we find TCU moving
up one to 39th, Arkansas mincing
from 51st to 47th, and Baylor, the
only one of these to win last
week, still laying eggs in 69th.
Two of Three Upsets
Williamson picked two out of
three upsets this week—Loyola of
California over College of the Pa
cific and Navy past Southern Cal
ifornia. The System, cl^im,s s ,a moral
victory in I The : Lehigh upset pf
Dartmouth hrt a pre.-game state-
mepi, saying , “That Dartmduth
would have its hands full.”
Some System tips for the com
ing week: Illinois over Indiana,
Princeton over Cornell, Washington
to beat Stanford, Texas over Rice,
Rutgers over Lehigh, Vanderbilt
over Arkansas, Maryland past
Duke, TCU over Ole Miss and
TEXAS A&M TO BEAT BAYLOR.
Still wondering about some of
the week’s upsets, PBW says there
is “no way of explaining Florida’s
31 to 7 victory over Vanderbilt.”
He tabs Maryland’s loss “pecul
iar.”
P. S. Look closely and see who
slipped a place in the Williamson
Ratings this week? My, isn’t our
