The Timers of A&M Consolidat

pocketed with dynamite tonight
at 8 as they tangle with a powerful
Granger eleven, a team that for
12 years straight has won its dis
trict championship.
Out of the seven games they
have played this season, Consoli
dated has salvaged two wins—
Somerville and Wallas—while drop

Granger High School has hung
up a phenomenal record in pig
skin competition this, year as they
have managed to average a little
better than 52 points a game to be
come the highest scoring school
boy team in Texas. Experience and
depth are two factors that add to
their potency for in the two pla
toons there are seven seniors play
ing on offense and five on defense.
Gilbert Bartosh, TCU triple-threat-
er is a former Granger star.
The return of end Bobby Jackson
and back Roland Jones to the
Tiger lineup should add consid
erably to the Consolidated attack,

somewhat dubious as to the out
come when he said.
“This is the first meeting of the
two teams and I am afraid to
comment on results.

Cadet Harriers
Meet North Tex
Still suffering from the
tough one point defeat by Ar
kansas last Saturday, the Ag
gie Cross Country team jour
neys to Denton tomorrow
morning for a dual meet with
North Texas State.
Seven men will make the trip
with Coaches Frank Anderson and
Ray Putnam. They are Julian Herr
ing, John Garmany, Charlie Gab
riel, Alex Ortiz, Jim McMahon,
Charles Hudgins, and Marshall
Lazarine.
The meet will be at 3 p. m. Fri
day, thereby giving the boys a
chance to get to Dallas for the
A&M-SMU game Saturday.
The supposedly very strong Ag
gie team has dropped two meets
this Fall (Oklahoma and Arkansas)
while winning only over Texas.
North Texas can boast no better-
team than last year’s which was
soundly whipped by the Maroon
and White harriers at College Sta
tion. Don Edwards, NT’s leading
distance star, could get no better
than (5th as five Aggies beat him
to the wire. He is again leading
the team this Fall.
Julian Herring, the Aggies SWC
champ in 1949, appears to be
rounding into shape and should
do better this week. Herring beat
Garmany by 10 yards last Sat
urday though both were beaten by
Parker James Brown. Garmany has
been the Aggies leading contender
thus far iri the season.
With only the SWC meet in Col
lege Station (Nov. 25) remaining
after this week, Friday’s race
should indicate the Ags leading in
dividuals for that contest.

Douglas Contends
^Players Should
Go To Classes 9
By WHITNEY MARTIN
New York, Nov. 10—GP)—An old-
fashioned, naive fellow is this Otis
Douglas, University of Arkansas
coach. He actually believes college
football players should be required
to take a swipe at. studying now
and then, if only to keep up ap
pearances.
Douglas ousted two of his star
linemen for failure to. attend class
es, and if other coaches follow this
precedent what is going to happen
to college football, anyway?
If they are going to require ath
letes to clutter up their minds with
such useless information as they
pick up in math, chemistry and soc
ial science classes, how can they
be expected to remember their
signals come Saturday? You can’t
very well take' out an opposing
tackle with a hydrochloric acid
formula.
Classes Generally Conducted
Everyone knows that classes are
conducted for large-domed youths
constructed along the general, rug
ged lines of a loose-leaf notebook.
If only students are to be permitted
to play football these lads will
have to replace on the gridiron the
beefy, stout-boned burrheads who
may not know whether Detroit is
in Michigan or just in the Ameri
can League, but boy, how they
can slant off tackle!
If football of the better class is
to survive some concessions must
be made to the athletes. They
should be given at least a 50-50
chance to survive the rigors of
their studies.
A concession, say, like the foot
ball-minded prof made to a massive
tackle who failed rather dismally
i in his classroom work. The profes
sor agreed to give him ari examin-

Austih, Tex.,, Nov, 10—GP)—-The
1 unusual situation of a college
J coach announcing his retirement
while his team is on top came today
as Blair Cherry said he would quit
at the University of Texas at the
end of this season.
He gave business reasons.
Texas now leads the conference
and is heavily favored to play in
the Cotton Bowl New Year’s Day.
Three weeks ago things were dif
ferent. After Texas lost to Okla
homa 14-13 and Southern Metho
dist soared to the nation’s top, the
pressure on Cherry was terrific.
Cherry becomes one of the few
coaches at Texas to quit without
being asked officially. His prede
cessors, D. X. Bible, set the pat
tern. Bible retired as coach in
1947 and now is athletic director.
Cherry is to enter the oil busi
ness with his brother, Alton Cherry
of Dallas. He was said that he
could make a lot more money and
with less worry in the oil business
than in football coaching. Cherry
turned down a contract to coach in
professional football only last year.
He has three years to go on his
present contract after this season
and has been making $12,500 a

“While I regret that my personal
plans have to be brought into the
picture at this time, I think it is
best to say now that I will resign
at the end of the present season,”
Rumors Say Cherry
To Coach Pro Rams
The Los. Angeles Rains pro foot
ball club heard with surprise—and
promptly denied—a rumor that it
was interested in signing Texas’
coach, Blair Cherry.
“We have a coach, Joe Stydahar,
and we are very well satisfied with
Mr. Stydahar,” said Harold Pauley,
a director of the club.
Pauley added that the Rams have
not contacted or dealt in any way
with Cherry.—'Based on AP Re
ports.
Beat SMU
Taylor to Address Ags
Lewis B. Taylor, executive secre
tary, Texas Vocational Agricul
ture Teachers Association, will
speak to the Collegiate FFA Chap
ter Monday night, November 13,
at 7:30 in the Agricultural En
gineering Lecture Room.
Lewis will speak on the func
tions of the Vocational Agricul
ture Teachers Association.
Cherry said. “For some time I
have had intentions of entering pri
vate business and the decisiori was
finally made some time ago.”
Bible said he regretted Cherry’s
decision but declared that if it is
final “Texas will lose, in my opin
ion,' one of the finest meri and
most able coaches that has been
connected with this institution or
any other.”
Mrs. Cherry said she didn’t know
Blair had made up his mnd “but I’m
glad he’s getting out. It’s too much
of a strain. The fans demand too
much.”
Cherry was a high school coach
until he came to Texas as an as
sistant in 1937. He directed Ama
rillo High School to three straight
state championships.
His record as high coach at Tex
as is 28 victories, nine losses and
one tie and he has had teams in
Bowl games twice—in 1948 when
Texas beat Alabama in the Sugar
Bowl and in 1949 when the Long
horns licked Georgia in the Orange
Bowl.
For three straight years Texas
has lost to Oklahoma and it had
lost three straight to Southern
Methodist until Saturday when the
Longhorns knocked down SMU
23-20. It left Texas the only un
defeated team in the Southwest
Conference play.

ation of two questions. If the lad
answered one correctly he would be
passed and eligible for the big
game.
“ . . . Didn’t Know ...”
He asked first which state Okla
homa City was the capital of, and
the boy said Texas. He then asked
if South America was north of
North America, and the boy said
he didn’t know.
“The first answer, naturally, Was
wrong,” the prof explained, “but
the second answer was right, as he
obviously didn’t know, so I passed
him,”
We’re just kidding, of course.
Seriously, we admire Douglas for
the stand he has taken, and firm
ly believe that a boy playing col
lege football should he required'
to keep up his studies the same as
any other student.
“ . . . Paying Moderate Sum ...”
We’re not against paying a mod
erate sum to a worthy lad who
happens to be a better than fair
football player arid is interested
primarily in getting an aducation,
particularly if the boy would not be
able to pursue his studies without
such aid.
It isn’t the semi-pro angle that
hurts the college sport and brings
down the wrath of the reformers.
It’s situations such as Douglas is
trying to correct at Arkansas—
the idea that a boy goes to college
purely to play football, with no in
tention of improving his mind.
It takes cooperation all-round to
see that actual students, and not
synthetic students, play college
football. Each professor must see
that each athlete is up in his stud
ies, and the coaches must see that
no boy who is not up in his studies
is permitted to play.
It’s as simple as that, but it
doesn’t always work as there is
a weak spot somewhere along the
line. Douglas, and Arkansas, are to
be congratulated for holding the
line.
Beat SMU
In Lincoln, Nebraska, a favorite
gathering spot of students at the
University of Nebraska is Hermie’s
“Inn” because it is a cheerful place
—full of friendly university atmos
phere. And when the gang gathers
around, ice-cold Coca-Cola gets the
call. For here, as in university
haunts everywhere—Coke belongs.
Ask for it either way . . . both
trade-marks mean the same thing.
