Sportsmanship
Group to Meet
At Arkansas
The first meeting of the
Southwest Conference Sports-
manshipCommittee will get
under way in Fayetteville,
Ark., home of the University
of Arkansas Oct. 8.
Delegates from the colleges in
the SWC will attend the meeting
and take up items for the coordi
nation and cooperation between the
colleges.
Attending the meeting will be
members of the student govern
ment, editors of the school papers,
yell leaders, newswriters, and oth
er campus leaders.
Last year the meeting was held
on the A&M campus. The com
mittee was founded in 1947 by The
Battalion. The A&M paper dona
ted a three-foot-tall gold trophy to
be given to the school, which dur
ing the year exhibited the greatest
Jimount of sportsmanship.
At the meeting last year the
question of appointing a recog
nized sporswriter to the commit-
mittee was discussed. The motion
was passed and A&M appointed
Jack Gallagher of the Houston
Post as its representative.
Also a the Spring meeting it
was decided the winner of the tro
phy would be selected on the basis
of two votes cast during the year.
One vote will be taken at the end
of he football season and another
at the end of the basketball sea
son. The winner will be announced
at the annual Cotton Bowl gtme on
New Year’s day.
The trophy is now held by SMU,
who is a two-time winner. If the
trophy is won three time in a row
it goes to that school for perman
ent ownership.
sary material for student appli
cants by Wednesday, Oct. 3.
He urged students not to make
application for the material before
that time. He said the biggest de
mand for the printed material by
students would be on local boards
in college and university towns.
Students who make scores of 70
or better on the tests are eligible
for consideration by draft boards
for deferment as students. Boards
also may consider class standing
or other factors.
Students who have never receiv
ed a previous statutory deferment
to attend college, including fresh
men who began work this fall, are
entitled to a statutory deferment
for a full academic year, but after
that defennent will have to be on
other grounds, such as test score
or class standing.
The state draft director said
students who have taken the test
before will not be allowed to take
it again.

Cadet Eleven Overpowers Tech
As Ground Game Clicks, 20-7
Yale Lary, A&M’s leading punt returner who last year helped the Cadets lead the
nation in this department, went for 23 yards before being downed by Texas Tech
End Paul Erwin (88). Coming from behind to help Erwin is Charles Welton, Tech
fullback. Against UCLA the previocs week, Lary also bad a good week in return
ing punts as he retcrned three for 55 yards, while in the Tech game he was largely
responsible for the majority of the 85 yards which the Cadets gained in returns.
Glenn Lippman, who plays both right and left
halfback for A&M as well as call signals, is down
ed by two unidentified Texas Tech players alter
having gained 29 yards. Lippman led the ground
gainers Saturday, gaining 156 yards in 18 car
ries.
Two of the groups, Bowling and
Table Tennis, plan to compete in
intercollegiate matches this year
and the Radio Club plans to facil
itate a bowling match by radio
sometime during the year.

exhibits arranged and offers in
struction in oils and water colors.
All students are invited to attend
the Round-Up and we want to es
pecially welcome all Freshmen so
that they may become acquainted
with MSC activities, Chairman
Rountree said.
“Informality is the keynote of
our program and there will be
plenty of coffee and cookies,”
Rountree added.
GOP Governors
Chose Gen. Ike
Over Bob Taft
Gatlinburg, Term., Oct. 1—
UP)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower is. the favorite for the
1952 GOP presidential nomi
nation among Republican gov
ernors who are willing to go on
record publicly.
Their next choice is Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft of Ohio—with more
strength than he showed among
them six months ago.
But about half the Republican
governors decline to commit them
selves openly so far.
Most Democratic governors be
lieve President Truman will run
again, and he is the choice among
those willing to state their pref
erence now. 5$;
This was disclosed today by an
Associated Press polls as the gov
ernors prepared to begin business
sessions of their annual national
conference tomorrow.
Of the 25 Republican governors,
nine said they want Eisenhower
for their nominee and four favored
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
A long list of Republicans was
mentioned as second or third choic
es.
Of 23 Democrat governors, elev
en said they are back.of Mr. Tru
man for a new term,'two believe
Eisenhower is the man their party
needs and one supports Senator
Richard Russell of Georgia.
Eisehower got two second choic
es among the Democrats, tying
with Chief Justice Fred Vinson in
that category. Senator Paul H.
Douglas of Illinois ahd one sec
ond place vote and split a third
place vote with Vinson.
In contrast to a similar poll six
months ago, Taft appeared to be
gaining some strength among the
Republican governors. Four of
them picked him i as their first
choice in today’s canvass, com
pared with only two previously.

A&M, Oklahoma
Meet In Home Tilt
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Writer
Coach Ray George’s undefeated Maroon and White
eleven will put their “neck on the block” Saturday night
against Bud Wilkinson’s Oklahoma Sooners, who are also
undefeated, as a hard-hitting, hustling A&.M football team
held true to form this past weekend overpowering an inex
perienced Texas Tech eleven, 20-7.
Lightning rough play marked each minute of the hard
fought Cotton Bowl battle witnessed by 27,000 fans, a record
crowd for an Aggie-Red Raider tilt.
Taking the lead in the first five minutes of play, the
j Cadets were checked but once when, in the second quarter,
I the Raiders drove 46 yards to pay dirt by a series of end-
around and off tackle dashes.
Wilkinson, flew from the site of
the OU and William-Mary game at
Norman to see the ground gaining
power of the Cadets.
Glenn Lippman displayed a speed
and deceptive power the likes of
which Aggie fans have not seen
since the El Campo Flash’s mighty
freshman year. In 18 carries,
Lippman toted the ball for 156
yards to be the leading ground
gainer of the evening.
The penetrating power of the
Aggies was first shown by Lipp-
man as he returned the ball 15
yards on the kick-off and followed
up with a five yard smash over
right tackle on the first play of
the game.
This beginning drive continued
as the Cadets pushed the Raiders
to their six yard line where Dick
Gardemal threw to Charley Hodge
for the first Aggie touchdown.
Left end Darrow Hooper converted
the extra point.
But, the youthful Tech team was
not to be denied.
Quarterback Junior Arterburn
took Yale Lary’s punt Which was
booted from nine yards deep in
the Aggies end zone and returned
it nine yards to the Cadet 46.
In six plays, displaying tricky
ball handling and speedy running
Tech scored. Left halfback Jim
Turner started the scoring series
as he hit around left end for two
yards.
Frank Graves, one of Tech’s out
standing backs, busted over right
tackle for 11 yards and a first
down. Turner then took over and
on a pitch out from Atterburn, who
then passed to Graves on the Ag
gies 23. Turner carried for two,
Pete Rinaldi for three, then Tur
ner scored from 12 yards out. No
one touched him as he sped

Bands Provide Halftime Color
Big Weekend for Ags In Dallas
By JOEL AUSTIN
Battalion Managing Editor
A yell practice in front of Dal
las’ Jefferson Hotel set off activ
ities in the Cotton Bowl City Sat
urday afternoon as the Texas Ag
gies moved in to see the Maroon
and White in their first Texas
game of the year.
The Red and Black of Texas
Tech was also on hand in force, as
the students from the Lubbock
school and their 104 piece band
paraded down the streets of Dal
las Saturday afternoon.
A little tiff between students
of both schools over whose signs
and banners would hang from the
hotel balcony resulted in a mad
scramble as the Tech boosters
rang down an Aggie sign as the
yell practice was coming to a
close. Police had to intervene
to quell the disturbance.
A substantial night crowd of
approximately 30,000 seemed
dwarfed in the enormous Cotton
Bowl which seats 75,500.
Adding much color and attaaction
to the game were the bands which
represented the two schools.
Clad in Red and Black uniforms,
the 104 piece band of Texas Tech
entered the field at half time from
the South end of the stadium to
give an impressive performance.
The Red Raider band went into a
T-E-X formation after stopping
with 10 yard intervals from 20-to-
20 yard lines. While playing the
“Spirit of Aggieland” they moved
into an enormous A-M-C formation.
In a salute to their own school,
the Tech musical contingent
formed their famous “Double
T” and after playing the school
alma mater, marched off the
field in that formation.
The 180-piece Aggie Band moved
in from the North in a formation
which stretched the width of the
end zone. Buglers sounded “Re
call” and the famous band from
Aggieland stepped off to strains
of the “Aggie War Hymn.”
After several flanking move
ments, and two double minstral
turns, the band did a spectacular
triple countermarch which brought
a big ovation from the audience.
A quadruple minstral turn
(What else would you call it?)
separated the band in half length
wise. Always playing, the cadet
marching unit formed the letters
T-E-C-H facing both sides of
the stadium. Then they went into
a T-A-M-C formation, again fac
ing ’the east and west sides of
the bowl. Still split into two
units and still playing, the band
saluted Dallas with the letters
B-I-G-D.
After the salute to Dallas and
a round of applause from fans,
the band stayed in a split forma- lon -
tion and formed two large “T”s.
They marched to the south in this
manner, still playing, did a count
er march, and emerged with the
two “Ts” moving back down the
field. The Aggies flanked to the
east stands and broke the forma
tions as they went off the playing
field.
Fans were rather amused when
a public address system announcer
made the following statement,
“O’Grady was in on the tackle for
Texas Tech—O’Grady taken out of
the game and replaced by ”
. (See FISH, Page 4)
