THE BATTALION
i
Southwest
Conference
Rumblings
Coach Ray George stressed a
single-wing defense yesterday in
workouts which lasted two hours
. . . stopping the single-wing at
tack of the UCLA Bruins is the
goal of the Aggie mentor . . . the
entire squad appears to be in bet
ter shape, Head trainer Bill Day-
ton reported, and all the scheduled
starters will be ready for the open
er.
Freshman Coach Klepto Holmes
checked over 50 prospects as the
Aggie Freshmen went through
their first workout . . . their first
scheduled game is with Blinn Col
lege at Kyle Field, October 4. . .
In Waco the powerful Baylor
Bears concentrated its ground and
aerial plays against changing de
fenses yesterday . . . this began the
last week's practice before their
opening clash against the Univer
sity of Houston . . . Bob Robinson,
defensive tackle, injured a shoul
der in Saturday’s scrimmage . . he
may not be ready to meet the Cou
gars Saturday night ... sounds
like a weak-spot.
Monday's workouts found the
Texas Longhorns plotting pass de
fenses . . . Head Coach Ed Price of
the Longhorns seems to be expect
ing a rain of passes when they
meet Kentucky in their first slated
game of the year . . . Babe Parilli
is the blue grass school’s chief aer
ial threat . . . T. Jones and Dan
Page are showing improvement in
their passing ... to be an aerial
show.
Fullback Lewis Carpenter of the
Arkansas Razorbacks, starter on
both the offensive and defensive
teams, missed yesterday’s workout
as the result of a collarbone in
jury . . . it’s doubtful that he will
play in the season-opener against
Oklahoma A&M Saturday, said
Coach Otis Douglas of the Porkers.
, . . Based on AP Reports.

Madisonville
Beats Tigers
A muddy field slowed down
the fast-moving A&M Consol
idated backfield, as Madison
ville dropped the Tigers, 14-
13.
Although the Maroons gained
more yardage, the victors con
trolled the ball most of the game
to win a game that could have
gone either way.
The scoring runs by William Ar
nold and Jerry Leighton were the
fop show of the evening. Williams
scatted 35 yards to cross paydirt,
while Leighton went 65 yards for
the counter.

Hitters--. 367
New York, Sept. 18—(A 5 )—The
race for the 1951 National League
batting championship is just like
the pennant race.
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.

‘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.

Campus Intervieivs on Cigarette Tests
AARDVARK
■j ^
1
This classy campus caper-cutter got his snootful of
cute cigarette tests. 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. Once you’ve tried Camels
for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat,
T for Taste), you’ll see why ...
After all the Mildness Tests —
