One of them—Lewis (Bud) McFadin, manmountain of that lacerating Longhorn line—was unanimous. Two other players received full support. They were Kyle Rote, the mighty runner, kicker and passer of Southern Methodist, and Bob Smith A&M fullback who is called by some the greatest ballcarrier in conference history. Also Proctor, Jackson, Townsend In addition to McFadin Texas landed Ben Procter, the great pass- catching wingman; Ken Jackson, that offensive wonder at tackle, and Byron Townsend, the line- shredding fullback. Jackson and Townsend each lacked only one vote of being unanimous. Baylor and Southern Methodist each placed two on the all-star team. Dick Hightower, the all-pur pose center of SMU, got the call while Harold Riley, the great re ceiver, and Larry Isbell, wizard ball-handler, passer and kicker, were placed on the team from f:* Marable, Texas Christian.

When This lens to You - Ag Eleven Readys For Georgia After: Loss to Longhorns Twice defeated Georgia and four-times downed A&M will meet for the first time in the First Annual Presidential Cup game at College Park, Md., this coming Saturday. This will be the first post-season game that the Cadets have participated in since ’44 when they lost to Louisiana State, 14-19 in the Orange Bowl. The Bulldogs, however*, played last year in the same bowl, but lost to underdog Texas, 28-41. Perhaps the most unusual thing which connects the two teams is the fact that one of A&M’s great est backs, Joel Hunt, was the coach at Georgia in ’38 and in ’39 the present Bulldog tutor Wallace Butts took over. Hunt’s record was 5-3-1. Butts in 12th Year Butts is now in his 12th year at the helm of Georgia athletics, and has an unusual record of six wins, two losses, and three ties for the season. But the Cadet’s coach has also had an unusual year. A&M’s Head Coach Harry Stite- ler now in his third year as A&M’s head coach, is seriously being con Battalion SPORTS TUBS., DEC. 5, 1950 Page 5 Come See Us ... FOE 1ST CLASS CLEANING . . .

Shannon came romping back into play to finish the damage he had started. That was all the scoring until the fourth, when Baylor, surged from its own 37 to Rice’s 23-yai’d line and Isbell finished the march with his 23 yard toss to Williams. It was his fifteenth touchdown heave of the season, his eleventh in conference play. ■k TCU 27, SMU 13 * Talented Gilbert Bartosh, a piano-legged sophomore who runs like a tank and passes like he was shooting a rifle, carried Texas Christian to a 27-13 victory over disheartened Southern Methodist. The irresponsible Bartosh passed for one touchdown, ran for another and engineered a lusty drive for a third, meanwhile being the lead ing ground gainer of the day, mak ing 86 yards rushing and passing for 124. It was a sorry finish for the Methodists, who five weeks ago were rated No. 1 in the nation. Since then they have lost four games.

A crowd of 55,000 was in the Cotton Bowl to see the Methodists, led by Kyle Rote, who closed his college career with a fine game, take a 18-0 lead in the first period, then be thoroughly outplayed the rest of the way. Rote ground out 58 yards in- a 65-yaid drive for the first SMU touchdown. He made it on a smash from the three-yard line. Then SMU put on a 64-yard surge for another score, with Rote passing to Johnny Champion on a 39-yard gainer for the touchdown. Bill Sul livan kicked the extra point. Down to Work After that the Horned Frogs got down to business. Their first touchdown was on a 78-yard drive, with Bartosh scoring on a run from the Methodist 13. Homer Ludiker converted. Next came the blocked punt for the second TCU score. Herb Zimmer man did-the blocking and Moor man the picking up. Ludiker miss ed the conversion try and the half ended 13-13. The third Frog touchdown was on a 44-yard push with Bobby Jack Floyd crunching over from the SMU seven and Ludiker con verting. The final came when Keith Flowers intercepted a Rote pass on the SMU 29. Floyd picked up a yard then Bartosh passed to John Medanich across the goal line. Ludiker kicked the extra point. TCU romped to 164 yards on the ground and 125 passing. SMU made 74 on the ground and 98 in the air.—Based on AP Reports. Beat Georgia Right-of-way Wrong If Not Safest Way The right-of-way is the right-of- way only so long as it is safe, If the other fellow needs it through necessity or because he is a road- hog, give it to him! A good driver knows that a right-of-way on earth is of little value to him after death! sidered as the Southwest Coach of the Year, for bringing the Cadets out of the win drought which A&M has suffered since ’47. This sea son the Cadets have won six tilts, losing only four—two being to the No. 1 and 2 teams in the nation— Oklahoma and Texas, respectively. Although both teams, Georgia and A&M, lost in the past week end football frays, a sellout crowd of 50,000 will probably be on hand to witness the battle between the two elevens in Maryland’s Byrd Stadium. The favored Bulldogs lost to their bitter rivals, Gepi'gte Tech, by a slight martfiii of seven :: points, the final score reading 7-0. Ags Drop 11th Underdog A&M dropped their Uth straight game to the Long horns on Memorial Stadium, where the Cadets have yet to win a game since the dedication of the field in ’24. A 17-0 score was near to the predicted two-touch down ’ margin allowed to the Orange and White over the Aggies. A hard-fought battle which saw the Maroon failing to connect on two major breaks and a few mi nor ones was witnessed by 65,549 fans. It was the first time this season that the greatest offensive team in the conference was held score less. Too Many Mistakes Too many mistakes was Geor gia’s trouble when underdog Tech gained a Bulldog fumble on their own 26 and went the distance for the counter. Two fumbles and four passes thrown straight into the arms of Tech defenders hurt the Bulldogs considerably. Butts has many famous prot eges, the best well known of whom are Frank Sinkwich, All-America in ’41 and ’42; Charlie Trippi, All- America in ’46; and John Rauch, .411-America in ’48. In the Southeastern Conference the Bulldogs have always set rec ords, and since ’42, Sinkwich has held top spots in seven depart ments, Trippi in four, and Rauch in two, and all records still stand. Although the Bulldogs are now using the straight T formation, Butts has coached the team in the single-wing and there is no way of knowing which formation the Georgians will be using Saturday. But the significant and most well-known trademark of Butts’ coaching is the superb condition ing, hard blocking, tackling and will-to-win of his elevens. Last Thursday in Austin, here’s the way the game seemed to go. With TU’s defense at its best, A&M still maintained a steady pace of forward movement, but was finally overrun by the Long horns’ steady line and newly dem onstrated offensive game. No excuses need be given. It was a good team that beat the Cadets Thursday. Smith Still Best Bruisin’ Bob Smith, All-Confer ence fullback, was still the best fullback on any field in the nation as he romped through the mighty Longhorn line for a net yardage of 77 yards, bringing his season total to 1302 yards, an all-time high for the Southwest. The manner in which Smith hit the Texas line was commented on many times throughout the game, and as last season’s “Coach of the Year” Bud Wilkinson of Oklaho ma said, “Smith is the best back that I have ever seen perform on any field.” But Smith’s play wasn’t enough on the goal line as once the Cadets • Texas A&M First downs 15 12 Rushing yardage 218 161 Passing yardage 106 111 Passes attempted.... 11 20 Passes completed 6 10 Passes intercepted ..3 1 Punts 4 7 Punting average 33 34.4 Fumbles lost 3 1 Yards penalized 7514: 30 9 failed to go across from the two.

Dawson Top Rusher Soph Gib Dawson played his best of the season as he led the rushers with 95 yards in 14 car ries; Byron Townsend ripped the line for 53 in 14; and Lew Levine crashed the Cadet forward wall for 43 in 9. ' • - A&M’s Yale Lary had 83 yards in 8 carries;, and Glenn Lippman went 11 times through the line for 28 yards. Texas took possession of the ball on their own 24 and 10 plays later crossed the Cadets goal line for the first of their two TDs. Steer Quarterback Ben Tomp kins displayed ball-handling and passing skill unexcelled as he help ed the Longhorns reach to A&M’s 12. At this point, a pass from Tompkins to Dawson seemed to be the touchdown, but the sopho more star who was alone in the end zone dropped the pass. Tompkins to Procter After the Cadet line knuckled down and pushed the Longhorns back to the 11, Tompkins complet ed a pass to Ben Procter on the one yard line and then the tall Texas end stepped across for the first TU counter. The Orange’s touchdown had come in the first quarter after the Cadets had failed to score from Texas’ 22 where they had gained (See LONGHORNS WIN, Page 6) Sign Absentee Book Bob Hope “THE GREAT LOVER” fJlie Fla ricullu rii l Has Been Mailed The November Agriculturist was put in the mail on November 24th.

A&M Quintet Splits Openers; Meets Tough Siena Tonight By ASSOCIATED PRESS A&M’s quintet moves into Al bany, N.Y. tonight to meet the tough Siena five, who last year won 28 games while losing only four. The Cadets opened their season against North Texas State, win ning 44-39 but lost their second game to Oklahoma City Univer sity, 39-44, in a nip-and-tuck af fair. Against the NTS Eagles, A&M’s little Jewell McDowell led the scorers with 13 markers, with 12 of the points coming on field goals. During the first half the score was knotted ten times and at the half, the Cadets led 23-20. In the sec ond half, A&M never lost the lead and went on to win handily. In Oklahoma City, the Chiefs held a narrow 18-17 halftime lead and took a seven-point lead early in the second half on the dead-eye shooting of Guard Bill Stowell. Aggies Narrow Gap The Aggies narrowed the gap and drew within two-points of the Oklahomans with six minutes re maining, but Jake Penwell and Andy Likens then combined their talents to pull the chiefs into a commanding lead. TCU notched its second basket ball victory last night by defeating Hardin-Simmons University 53-35, in Fort Worth. It was the Cowboys’ first game. George McLeod, 6-7 c e n t e r, paced the Frogs’ attack with .15 points and gained individual scor ing honors. Jay Cox was high for the losers with eight. Both teams were erratic in the first half, which ended, 27-18, TCU, but for the first five minutes of the second period the Frogs’ fast break worked effectively for a 41-20 lead and the, Cowboys never were able to cut into the margin appre ciably thereafter.
