There’s still an outside chance that Stan Musial could be beatep out of his title just as Brooklyn could be beaten out of the pennant. But it isn’t enough to make the Cardinal clouter jittery. Stan’s average dropped three points during the week, but after Sunday’s games he had a .367 mark. That kept him 21 percentage points ahead of Philadelphia’s Richie Ashburn.

MAIN BRYAN ‘Where the Aggie Bus Stops” By BOB SELLECK Sports News Editor Old man weather, usually one of the main factors in winning and losing ball games, should not af fect the outcome of the nearing battle between the Texas Aggies and the UCLA Bruins. The Los Angeles Weather Bu reau has reported almost the same temperatures as those registered for the Bryan-College Station area during the last two we,eks. The Aggie football squad should feel right at home when they take the field next Friday flight in the first of four games they will play under the stars this year. Identical Conditions Both the Aggies and the UCLA squad have been working out un der the same weather conditions and just about the same amount of time. Both clubs also climaxed last weeks workouts with full-scale scrimmages. Another major comparison be tween the two teams will be All- American players boasted by both clubs. The Aggie claim to fame will be led by soft-spoken Bruisin’ Bob Smith, the 1950 “Masked Marvel” of the Southwest Conference. Last season Smith gained 1,460 yards in 219 rushes from scrimmage; 116 yards on seven passes caught; 144 yards on three kickoff returns. This gives him a grand total of 1,720 yards in 229 times he car ried the ball. Won Every Honor The brilliant senior from Hous ton has won every honor which the Southwest can offer him. He was named “Sophomore of hhe Year” by the Associated Press, “Athlete of the Year,” by the Tex as Sports. Writer Association last winter. Smith was unanimous choice for all-SWC last season and was pick ed for the first team All American by the Chicago Tribune, NEA, and the Gridiron Record. He has already bested the run ning records of the other past “golden boys” of the Southwest, Doak Walker and Kyle Rote, both of SMU, and also topped their picture coverage in this Falls mag azines. Because of the “pressure” that will be on co-captain Bob, it is unlikely that he can duplicate his rushing record of 1950. However it seems safe to say that with 25 other lettermen to as sist, opponent players are going to see a lot of Aggie jersey No. 36. The UCLA Bruins will be led by their last year’s All American Don Moomaw. Moomaw gained honors and nationwide acclaim last year as a sophomore linebacker.

It didn’t take him long to dig out the fact that cigarette mildness can’t be determined by a mere single puff or quick-sniff experiment! Millions of smokers, on and off the campus, have discov ered there’s only one true test of cigaretle mildness. IT’S THE SENSIBLE TEST ... the 30-day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke — on a day-after-day basis. No snap judgments.
