Lippman Keeps Going
Aggie Left Halfback Glenn Lippman regains
his balance on his right hand before squirming
on through for three more yards. Against the
Rice Owls Saturday, Lippman carried the ball
nine times for a net gain of 20 yards. He now
ranks as the No. 7 ball carrier in SWC play.
Fish, Shorthorn Elevens Clash
Thursday at 2 On Kyle Field
A&M’s Fish footballers will be
out to break a three-game losing
streak when they tangle with the
University of Texas Shorthorns on
Kyle Field tomorrow afternoon at
2.
Having a 1-3 record for the sea
son, both teams arc entering the
fray with the worst conference rec
ord they have ever held prior to the
annual tilt. Tomorrow’s battle be
tween the two freshman elevens
is the fourth sponsored by the Ben
Hur Shiiners. The profits are
used by the Shriners in maintaining
the crippled children’s clinic in
Austin.
A&M holds the series lead with
two wins while Texas has won one.
The Fish finished victorious the
past two years, 14-0 and 13-0, but
the Shoythorns won the opener of
the annual grudge battle, 16-0, in
Austin.
Never Won Game
Before the series began the Ca
dets had never won a game, with
TU but they were also never
skunked by the Texans. This may
mean that Thursday’s game will be

Smith Still Doesn’t Pass
Of the 20 stars named in the
total offensive division, Smith is
the only one who has established
a position ih this phase of statis
tics without the aid of passes. In
nine games of the 1950 season, the
Southwest Conference’s leading
ball carrier has never been on the
starting end, of a pass play.
In team standings of total of

ago, lost their lofty perch and just
squeezed inside the top ten._ The
Mustangs show a game average of

ninth this week as compared with
their sixth place rating of a game

have rushed through the opposing
forward walls 477 times for a total
of 2,567 yards and an average of
285.2 yards per game or 5.4 yards
per play.
On the East coast, a Princeton

ozone. The Methodists are the No.

Michigan State Unable
To Play In Cotton Bowl
Chicago, Nov. 22—(A 5 )—Michigan
State College yesterday was re
fused permission by the Big Ten
to play Texas in the Cotton Bowl
game at Dallas, New Year’s Day
although it had not received a for
mal invitation.
Michigan State, the Western
Conference’s football member-in
name-only, had received Cotton
Bowl feelers and sought to clear
the way to accept a formal bid if
it were offered.
A petition by Michigan State
asked the conference to waive , a
regulation banning post-season
grid play in any game except the
Rose Bowl.
Big Ten Commissioner K. L.
(Tug) Wilson said the request was
denied. No official vote of the nine
conference members was announc
ed, but it was understood the bal
lot was overwhelmingly against
the waiver.
Not Eligible For Bowl
As a non-championship confer
ence member, Michigan State is
not eligible for the Rose Bov/1. It
enters football title competition in
1953.
The Spartans lost only to Mary
land in nine starts this season, and
scored wins over three Big Ten
members as well as Notre Dame.
At Lansing, Mich., Dean L. C.
Emmons, MSC faculty representa
tive in the Big Ten, said:
“Michigan State received a bid
from the Cotton Bowl and we were
anxious to accept same. Through
myself and Athletic Director Ralph
Young, the college asked permis
sion of the Big Ten to accept the
bid.”
At Dallas, Cotton Bowl Presi
dent Joe C! Thompson Jr., empha
sized Michigan State had not been
invited formally.

“Michigan State was one of the
teams oh the list of preferred op
ponents, given us by the University
of Texas (the host team),” he
said. “We asked Michigan State
whether it could play if it were in
vited. But we did not make any
invitation for it to play here.
“We have a large number of
teams under consideration. We
have contacted Pi’inceton and Ar
my, among others, but we have not
issued a formal invitation to any
team.”
Team Expresses Regret
Players and doaches alike joined
in expressing regret that the Big
Ten had vetoed the suggestion that
Michigan State, newcomer to the
Western Conference, engage in the
bowl game.
Head Coach Biggie Murin de
clared, “I feel very sorry for the
boys for it is a disappointment
for them. When I was in college,
I was refused permission to play in
a Shrine gaihe for the benefit of
crippled children. Therefore, I
know just how badly the boys feel
in losing out on a chance to play in
a bowl game.”

close.
In the nine games played be
tween the two Freshman teams,
Texas has won seven to A&M’s
two. The scores since the series
began in 1937 are (with A&M’s
score being given first) 6-14, 6-7,
0-2, 7-18, 7-18, 0-12, 0-16, 14-0, and
13-0.
Coach Perron Shoemaker, A&M’s
freshman coach, is confident that
the Aggies can defeat the favor
ed Shorthorns if they play the
heads-up ball of which they are
capable. In the majority of their
games, Shoemaker added, the Fish
have had bad breaks which have
cost heavily.
Bad Breaks Hurt
In reference to Shoemaker’s
statement, proof can be found by
checking the fact that in two of
games lost by the Cadets, over 12
fumbles occurred.
But, Shoemaker concluded, the
Fish footballers are not altogeth
er to blame for the losses since the
majority of the players are nOw
occupying different positions than
they did while competing in high
school. Also the T formation is
hew to the majority of the team
members since the single wing is
almost predominate in Texas’ high
schools.
Probable starters in tomorrow’s
backfield include Johnny Salyer in
the quarterback position; Don Cris
well, right half; either Buck Gib
son or Johnny Cavileer in the left
halfback slot and Pete Mayeaux,
running from the fullback spot.
Salyer to Start
Salyer was an all-district quar
terback while attending Austin
High and was also all-state honor
able mention. The 5’ 8”, 165 pound
er is a better runner than a pass
er, but after more experience with
the T, he should become one of the
best.
Criswell and Gibson, both from
Rising Star, were known as the
“touchdown twins” in high school.
And no wonder. Both were all
district for two-consecutive sea
sons, and Gibson led high school
scorers' last year with 257 points.
His total high school scoring
amounted to 423 points in three
years of competition.
Rising Star won the Class B
track championship in 1949 and
both of the “touchdown twins”
were integral parts of the squad.
Criswell rah oh the mile relay team
that set a new record, and Gibson
won the 440-yard dash for the
second time in ’49.
All-district for two-years while
enrolled in high school at De-
Quincey, La., Mayeaux , is , leading
the Cadets in scoring this season.
He has crossed the double stripe
four times and has booted three
points-after-touchdown, tp have
scored 27 of the Fish’s 40 points.
Cavileer—Versatile
When Austin High’s football
team went to the state finals in
’49, Cavileer went with them, but
he failed to gain any mention on
district, regional, or state teams.
This year he has shown up excep
tionally well, having scored one of
the Fish’s touchdowns, and may
alternate with Gibson against the
Shorthorns. Lettering three years
in high school track and winning
the state broad jump title last
year, Cavileer is another one of the
versatile Fish backs.
Starting in the offensive ends
positions will be Eric Miller and
Bobby Price. Before coming to
A&M, Miller played in the fullback
position for the Bartlett High ele
ven and was named to the all-dis
trict team in ’49. He was also all
district in basketball, baseball and
placed in the state discus toss
