I Two in the backfield and two
in the line.
I That’s the way the Battalion
Sports Staff saw it in Saturday’s
battle with Rice on Kyle Field,
when that department chose the
recipients of the Back and Line
men of the Week awards.
| Bouncing Bill Tidwell and Bruis
ing Bob Smith are the Cadet back-
field stars who gain the honor and
do so by virtue of their outstand
ing individual records over the
weekend.
■" In the department directly in
front of the backfield Hugh Meyer
and Andy Hillhouse are the Stite-
krmen who receive the Battalion
dward this week for spectacular
play against the Owls.

among the ball carrier* with a 4.5
average for his 11 carries.
Early in the tmru period of the
Owl-Aggie contest Saturday, Tid
well scooted through the left tackle
slot and eluded the Rice secondary
on a play that carried for 12 yards
and the final Cadet goal crossing.
Tidwell’s seasonal record credits
him with a net gain of 462 yards
in 70 carries for a ranking of sixth
among the leading ball toters in
SWC play. His average of 6.6
yards per carry places him second
behind teammate Smith in that
column.
•In eight games, (Tidwell did not
suit up for the VMI tilt because
of injuries, but was ready on the
sidelines if needed) the 20 year
old, 175 pound junior has crossed
the double stripe six times for 36
points and a ranking- of fifth
among the leading scorers
SMITH a c-
counted for
more yards
gained than any
of the top ball
carriers
throughout the
SWC over the
past week-end
when he turned
in a net gain of
101 yards in the
27 times that he
lugged the pig
skin.
An average pickup of 3.7 yards
per Carry, places the Cadet all-
American fullback candidate third
in Saturday’s average column.
This feat can hardly go without
recognition, for it was the 190
pound Houstonian who was the ob
ject of the concerted afforts of the
entire Rice team. The Owls were
determined to stop the devastating
running play of the rugged Smith,
but 101 yards was the best that
they could do.
In nine games this season, the
22 year old junior has taken the
handoff 178 times to smash
through Aggie opposition for a
total of 1,225 yards to rank first

in the conference and fourth in
the nation among the leading ball
carriers. ,
Smith has more yards credited to
his account on rushing plays alone
than any of the SWC offensive
stars who employ both passing and
running for needed yardage. He
ranks sixteenth in the nation and
first in the conference in the total
offense division.
Although the former all-state
fullback failed to score in Satur
day’s tilt, he maintained the lead
in conference scoring with the 14
times that he has entered paydirt
for a total of 84 points.

, By JOE BLANCHETTE
Thrilling football tilts Were the
order of the day. as the intramural
leagues continued to operate for
the eighth consecutive week.
A “razzle-dazzle” offense ver
sus a bruising ground game evolved
from the A CWS-A Signal con
test. Kenneth Pipes and Hamp
Oliver kept the A Sig pass defense
confused all afternoon with short
jump passes and long range aerials.
Chapman of the Sigs was the star
for the winners as he loped across
on the final play of the game to
hand the signalmen a 7-6 victory.
A CWS drew the first “blood”
in the contest late in the first per
iod. Two long runs and two com
pleted passes off the arm of Pipes
set the ball on the Signal’s 10
yard line. The second play from
scrimmage from that point gave
the Chems a TD as Pipes shot a
pass to Oliver. The same combina
tion failed to connect for the ex
tra-point.
On the final play of the game
Chapman bulled his way over the
goal to tie the game at 6-6. White
tallied the extra-point as he cut
over the center of the line and
hit the treasured pay-dirt. The
final score, A Sig 7, A CWS 6.
A Ord stopped A CAC 7-0;
A QMC pushed ASA all over the
field in winning 12-0. D Seniors

up a win by edging past A FA,
10-6.
Basketball
In a play-off cage battle Pur-
year triumphed over Legget 20-15.
Reeves of Puryear was the high
pointer of the afternoon with nine
digits. Martin paced the losers
with four counters. Puryear led at
halftime 7-4.
Keller led the Freshman Band
to a 17-12 win over Co. 11. The
hustling little bandmen hooked in
11 points.
Bill Couch of Bizzell was high
point maker of the afternoon with
10 buckets but his efforts were
to no avail as Milner thumped the
Bizzellmen 23-17. Thomson of the
winners tallied eight.
Co. 8 edged past Co. 9, the score
being 17-15.

Tennessee Vols, Coached By
Ex-Aggie, Accept Balks Bowl
Newcomers to the Cotton Bowl
turf, the University of Tennessee
accepted an invitation last night
to play Texas University in Dal
las’ Cotton Bowl Jan. 1
Coached by Bob Neyland, a na
tive Texan and former football
hero at A&M, the Volunteers took
all-American end candidate had to
fight Rice defenders Haddox and
Silver for possession of Aggie
Quarterback Dick Gardemal’s toss,
but the 6’ 3” wingman fell from
the three-man contest with the
ball firmly in his grip.
At the left end post Hillhouse
produced good downfield blocking
for his teammates’ running attack
when he wasn’t employed as a po
tential pass receiver.
In the final period the Alvin end
set up a possible Cadet tally when
he snagged a 22 yard aerial off the
arm of Delmer Sikes, and lateraled
to Fullback Bob Smith when be
was bogged down by Rice defend
ers.
Named honorable mention on
United Press’ all-American team in
1948, Hillhouse ranks as the No.
5 pass receiver in SWG competition
with 18 catches for a gain of 351
yards.
Six of Hillhouse’s 18 aerial snags
have carried into the promised
land for a total of 36 points and
a ranking of fifth among the lead
ing scorers in SWC play to make
him the highest scoring end in the
conference.
only one day to make the decision.
A native of Greenville, Ney
land was at A&M in 1910 when
he was a quarterback under
the late Charley Moran, and a
first baseman on the Cadet base
ball team.
Neyland left Aggieland that year
after he received an appointment tc
West Point, where he was a great
all round athlete. During World
War II Neyland was stationed at
Dallas as head of the Southwest
Division, Army Engineers. He was
a brigadier general in the far
East.
Neyland made the acceptance in
a telephone conversation with Joe
C. Thompson, Jr., president of the
Cotton Bowl Athletic* Association,
and chairman of the bowl’s selec
tion committee.
“We are happy to have Tennes
see, which was the first choice of
Athletic Director D. X. Bible and
Coach Blair Cherry of the Uni
versity of Texas, Thompson said.
“The Tennessee acceptance is, of
course, subject to approval of the
Southeastern Confei’ence, but there
is no doubt but that this will be
forthcoming.”
Tennessee is the second straight
Southern team to split the $250,000
school’s share of the Cotton Bowl
gate receipts, as Rice defeated
North Carolina 27-13 last New
Year’s Day. The Cotton Bowl which
seats 75,349 has been sold out
since Nov. 1. —Based on AP Re
ports.
