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.

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

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.

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.

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-

Where Will Rickey
Go? Replacement?
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
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.

Sportsmention
Tony Janiro, who’ll be trying
about his umpteenth “comeback”
against Rocky Graziano tomorrow,
will celebrate his 23rd birthday the
same night. Tony had to fight a
lot of top-flight rivals at eight
rounds because he was too young
to be allowed in tens. . . . The
Rangers traveled some 4,000 miles
for exhibitions and league hockey
games before they got a look, at
their “home” rink. . . . Who said
that club isn’t going anywhere ? . . .
Ray Kennedy, the Tigers’ farm
director, personally scouted and
signed a boy from Ogden, Utah,
named Ray Kennedy. He’ll be as
signed to the Jamestown, N. Y.,
farm. . . . Note from North Caro
lina says a brief case containing a
William and Mary scouting report
on the Tar Heels, found in the sta
dium, was returned to its owner
unopened. Yeah? How did they
know what was in it?
When a sportswriter asked Navy
coach Eddie Erdelatz, “Do you

replied: “Where do you think we
