Lineman, Back of the Week . . . Hilliiouse, Bruisin’ Bob Gain Week’s Honors By RALPH GORMAN Big Andy Hillhouse was again named Lineman of the Week by the Battalion Sports Staff. It is the third time in a row that this honor has been bestowed on the Alvin hustler. A star in his own rights in last Saturday’s game with TCU, Hill- house was on the receiving end of three aerials from the accurate arm of Quarterback Dick Gardemal and turned two of the three passes into scoring plays. Although the first toss netted a short five yards, the 6’ 3” wingman draped his rangy frame over the Frog’s Dan Wilde to take in Gar- demal’s second pass, good for 25 yards on the Frog 30, shake off Wilde like a raindrop, and loped on to the double stripe uncontested.

CHICKEN and DUMPLINGS and STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE HOTARD’S Cafeteria 311 N. Main Bryan, Texas —HOURS— 11:00 to 2:00 — 4:45 to 8:00 Close 7:30 on Sunday -or Three minutes and 27 seconds later the flashy Port Arthur quar terback found Andy standing alone in the end zone, and connected to make good a fourth down 18 yard pass. Andy’s pass receiving ability has netted a total of 198 yards in the ten times that he has snagged the pigskin and five of these have car ried across the double strip into touchdown land. A mainstay on the offense and a medium of devastation at the de fensive post, the 215 pound Alvinite now ranks third in conference scoring with 30 points. He is tied with Rice’s Fullback George G'lau- ser and Texas’ Fullback Byron Townsend. During the 1948 Aggie gridiron drought, Andy started slow and by midseason became a nemisis to all who opposed the Cadets. In that dismal year he found a berth on several all-conference elevens and was named honorable mention in United Press’ All-America round up. He did not attend college in 1949. e Bob Smith, the bruisin’ Housto nian, has been named Back of the Week by the Battalion Sports Staff for his stellar performance in Sat urday’s game against TCU. In five games, the 190-pound all- America candidate has been reci pient of the Batt honor three times. Against the Frogs Smith scored once on a 38-yard jaunt when he darted through a gaping hole in the Frog wall and outran the en tire secondary to paydirt. Aggie partisans will remember that Bill Tidwell scored twice in the eventful TCU game—once on a 25-yard sprint around left end and the other went for 18 yards on a delayed reverse. Both of the Tidwell counters came on fourth down attempts and each time the lad from Hearne crossed the double stripe standing. Smith Made It Possible This would not have been pos sible had it not been for Smith throwing the key blocks on both plays that would have been halted around the eight yard stripe. A&M’s notorious fullback was called upon 24 times against the Frogs and lugged the pigskin for a total of 146 yards, bringing his five game total to 593 yards for 100 carries. Smith leads the con ference in the yards gained rushing column as well as the scoring Finest Quality Rayon Gabardine Sports Shirts ... Arrow ^Gabcmar©” W A '-- mS bracket. Ten touchdowns for a total of 60 points gives Smith an 18 point margin over the No. 2 man in the conference, Kyle Rote. Considered the most reliable man on the Cadet eleven, Bruisin’ Bob has displayed mid-season form since the 1950 grid campaign be gan against Nevada. Should Smith continue in the pace that he has set, in both the scoring and the rushing columns, he is destined for All-Conference honors and should be named on several All-America squads. —Beat Baylor— Ratings Change Since Oct. ’41 New York, Oct. 26—UP)— How Times Change Depart ment : Only two teams of the current top 10 in the Associa ted Press weekly poll were on the select list the week of Oct. 26, 1941. They are Texas and North western. In 1941 the top 10 at this stage of tho season were Minnesota (re member the Gophers?) and Texas, tied for No. 1; Fordham, No. 3; Duke, No. 4; Texas Aggies No. 5; Notre Dame, No. 6; Michigan, No. 7; Pennsylvania, No. 8; North western, No. 9, and Vanderbilt, No. 10. The current listing, in order, is: SMU, Army, Oklahoma, Kentucky, California, Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee, Northwestern and Cornell. Leahy Down? Frank Leahy now knows how Knute Rockne felt during the 1928 season when his Notre Darners lost four games. “They gave me a car last year,” the Rock said philos ophically, “now I suppose they’ll want to take it away.” Leahy’s current nosedive, and that of Rock ne in ’28, prove the truth of Lou Little’s theory. “You can improve a mediocre player, or even a good player,” t he astute Columbia coach argues, “but you can’t make them great unless they have the natural talent. Speed is a gift, not something acquired, and a gredt passer is great because he is born with the ability.” Hoag or Reynolds That will be quite a get-together when Kansas’ Charley Hoag and Nebraska’s Bobby Reynolds meet mi t lie footb&ll field next Saturday. "Both are sensational backs. Rey nolds, a soph, already is being hailed as the best football player and all-around athlete ever turned out in Nebraska, with Lloyd Card- well his only rival for that distinc tion. Bill Glassford, the Nebraska coach, sizes up Reynolds this way: “About like Marshall Goldberg, but faster.” Southwest Conference Ramblings The Aggies continued to look sharp in their workouts and every one with the exception of W. T. Rush will be ready for the Baylor game. . . Offensive play and de fensive workouts continued until 7:30. . . Bruisin’ Bob Smith, Glenn Lippman, and Billy Tidwell look like the trio to start with either Dick Gardemal or Delmer Sikes in the man-under spots. , . No matter which quarterback gets the start ing nod, each is capable of doing the job. . . Longhorn coach Blair Cherry sent his squad through its longest non-stop scrimmage of the season. Two hours of defensive and of fensive head-knocking climaxed Texas preparation for their Satur day date with the Rice Owls. The Longhorn schedule calls for taper ing off to start today. Cherry noted “difficulty” in his line’s efforts to cope with Rice plays being hurled at it by Long horn backs. • The University of Arkansas foot ball squad spent most of the after noon practicing offense for Satur day’s game with Vanderbilt at Little Rock. Coach Otis Douglas said injured back Ray Parks definitely was “out” of Saturday’s game. Sammy Furo, another badkfield casualty, may get to play, Douglas said. • Injuries continued to plague the TCU football team. Mai Fowler, 200-pound sophomore, who was moved into the tailback slot after missing three games because of a knee injury, will not play in the Mississippi game Saturday at Memphis. Fowler’s knee today was so stiff and swollen that he couldn’t run faster than a trot. Coach L. R. (Dutch) Meyer, who called this “the most crippled football team I’ve ever seen,” checked Fowler off the list. Bernie Is No Lemon " ''7 | r V Hi Bernard Lemmons Lemmons was that crushing fullback who injected the necessary second half spark in Saturday’s TCU game. Lemmons is giving A&M’s No. 1 fullback nominee a run foil his money. He was not enrolled around Aggieland last year, but evidently gained plenty of experience with a junior college eleven. Against the Frogs, the inexperienced fullback made consistent gains and broke loose once for 33 yards into the TCU secondary.

Transportation was furnished, Twenhafel said, with cars leaving the Agriculture Building between 5:15 and 5:39 p. m. All students majoring in Agricultural Admin istration were invited to attend. By PAT LcBLANC Swinging into action for the third day of play, the flag foot ball teams are becoming very im pressive in their employment of sharp short passes and the ole familiar “around end play.” K. P. Pipes and Perry Beatty, of A Chem Corps lead their team to a 14-0 slaying of C Cavalry. The potent “gas warfarers” dominated the game on long runs by Beatty and accurate shooting of aerials from the arm of Pipes. A Chem first TD came as result of Pipe’s interception from Beto Garza and speedy Beatty’s circle around end. The score surged to 12-0 when Hamp Oliver snarled a pass from Pipes, 10 yds. out. A Chem gathered two more points on a bad pass from center by C Jocks, who had been forced back to their goal line. “Dee Moore, Mel Caplan, Sam Jackson and Morrison stood out for the Ipsers in the backfield while Max Newsom and Joe Dren- nan were the mainstays in the sturdy line. “Bud” Baumgart of D Air Force carried from the 5 to rack up the only TD in their game with a fighting A Transportation unit.

Stine and Longseere were the strong men for the winners while Lane Bowden and Cleve Bowdain stood out for the losers. Shaffer Runs 90 Yards Paul Shaffer of E Inf. ran 90 yards against A Seniors for the second TD made by the infantry men, to send the final score to 13-0. This same Shaffer had dropped back deep and fired an aei-ial to G. B. Rush earlier in the contest. A ASA stopped a “never say die” B FA, 12-0. Greene, Lake, Martin, Scutter and Bill Bristow were the iron men for the victors; Joe Johnson, Stoddard, Mueller, Tunnel, Lively, and Malcolm saw a lot of action for the artillerymen. Basketball Neal of A QMC, meshed in 8 points to lead his team in a close 20-17 contest. A Sig Dotson also gathered 8 markers, with team mates Carrol and Reeves collect ing 4 and 3 points respectively. Fletcher with 6, Kiebler with 4, and Shivers stood out for the unbeaten A QMC. B QMC downed an easy E Air Force team, 17-5. BredtheaUr was high point man of the winners with 8. McAllister and Roberts led the airmen with 2 points apiece. E. Moses of A Inf. went wild in scoring 14 markers against a short “B” Eng squad. Selleck and Huds peth also helped in the scoring parade as the paddlefeet beat the Engineers, 21-10. Aviles, Burdett, and Bradford were mainstays of the losers. In the other basketball game, II AF won a forfeit over E Sen iors. Tennis C AF won a 3-0 sweep over D FA in their tennis match. Dayton and Koester took the edge over Brawner and Grissom while Soul- ter and Kingston beat Loppe and LeFevre. Tolle and Kubal lost to Sonnenburs and Beassley of C AF.

New York, Oct. 26—hT , )—Second- best second guess, after trying to guess where Branch Rickey is go ing, is figuring who’ll become the Dodgers’ general manager under the O’Malley-Smith regime. . . . Popular choice is Fresco Thomp son, with Buzzy Bavasi and Mel Jones getting a few calls. . . . Branch, Jr., apparently isn’t being considered, though he might be a good choice. . . . The twig is about ready to step out for himself. He knows all the angles of his dad’s business and he’d surely offset the O’Malley theory: “For the next seven or eight years Mr. Rickey will be credited with the victories of the Brooklyn club and someone else will be charged with its losses.” . . . When Penn State’s football team flew to Nebraska last week end, its plane passed over the Notre Dame campus. ... A coach was pointing out places of interest— the stadium, playing field, etc.— when a kid exclaimed: “That can’t be Notre Dame. No one is prac ticing.
