Monday, October 8, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 SWC Round-up Ag Win-TCU Over Arkansas Highlight Football Week Fast Aggie Halfback The Southwest Conference sche dule was highlighted by the top performance of both Texas A&M and TCU. The Aggies wrecked the Oklahomans 14-7, while TCU set back Arkansas in the first confer ence game of the season. Texas found scoring easy as they ran over Noi’th Carolina 45-20. SMU came through with a sur prising ground game to win over Missouri 34-0. Baylor led by Larry Isbell had first half trouble but came to life in the latter stages to whip Tulane 27-14. Kice fell be fore LSU 7-6. This week’s schedule finds the Aggies traveling to San Antonio to play Trinity. Arkansas and Bay lor will tangle in the only confer ence game of the week. Rice plays host to Navy in Houston, TCU battles Texas Tech, and SMU moves to South Bend to tackle Norte Dame. TCU 17, Arkansas 7 The Horned Frogs started the conference season off right by edg ing Arkansas 17-7. A fourth quar ter drive speared by Quarterback Gil Bartosh brought the TCU elev en their victory. A crowd of 29,500 fans watched the Razorbacks surrender to a long time jinx which kept them from winning a conference game in War Memorial Stadium since the arena was built four years ago. The victory had its sour note for TCU. The Texas team’s star sophomore quarterback, Malvin Fowler, injured his trick knee early in the second quarter shortly after scoring the Horned Frogs, first touchdown. TCU drew first blood when Half back Ronald Fraley intercepted an Arkansas pass on the Arkansas 30- yard line and moved down to the Arkansas 12. Two plays later Fow ler skirted left end for five yards and the score. Keith Flowers con verted. The Razorbacks got their scor ing chance in the second quarter when Guard Jim Sperring recov ered Bartosh’s fumble on the TCU 12-yard line. Quarterback Lamar McHan picked up nine yards in two plays and then went over on a quarterback sneak. George Thom ason’s kick was good. The statistical side of the game was closer than,' the score. Arkan sas gained 120 yards, rushing to 161 for TCU. The Razorback aerial attack garnered 101 yards to 38 for the Frogs. Texas 45, North Carolina 20 The Longhorns finally found the running attack it has been search ing for Saturday and combined it with already proven defense to crush North Carolina, 45-20. Left Half Gib Dawson, a 170- pound speedster from Douglas, Ariz., finally ran the way Texas coaches knew he could, and hit pay dirt twice. He opened the Longhorn scoring by catching Quarterback T. Jones’ 10-yard pass in the end zone. The fleet halfback also kicked three extra points to account for a total of 15 points, exactly one- third of the Texas total. North Carolina’s Tar Heels cracked right back with an 87- yard drive. Fullback Dick Weiss took the ball on a spinner and drove through his left guard for eight yards to put North Carolina briefly in the lead as Abie Wil liams kicked the extra point. The 45-20 victory disproved com plaints of some Texas backers that the Longhorns might be great on defense but were impotent on of fense. Texas scored in every period and revealed ability to sustain its at tack by marching 35, 65, 62, 69 and 74 yards to touchdowns. The Longhorns continued to make the most of opportunities, too. A recovered fumble on North Carolina’s 16-yard line led to a score, and Bill Bible’s 34-yard runback of an intercepted North Carolina pass to the Tarheel 6 paved the way for Dean Smith’s six-yard dash around left end to end Texas scoring for the day.

Isbell gave a near-perfect per formance, pulling Baylor out of holes, setting up most of the runs with deceptive ball handling, and passing with deadly accuracy. He passed nine yards to end Stanley Williams for the winning touchdown in the third quarter. Tulane’s sophomore quarterback, Paul Clement, turned in a ster ling performance for the Green Wave.

Probably in defense to the per- eonal scouting of Frank Leahy of Notre Dame, their next week’s op ponent, the Methodists stuck to the ground for single touchdowns in each of the first two periods and two more in the third. Then, to add insult to injury, passing specialist Fred Benners went in in the final quarter to set up the first touchdown of its foot ball career, a slash through tackle from the one. Missouri wore itself out trying to score in the first quarter, but couldn’t capitalize on two big breaks inside the SMU 33 as the heavier Methodist line spear-head ed by center Dick Hightower and tackle I. D. RusSell bottled up the Missouri running attack. Not until the fading minutes of the game against SMU reserves did Missouri seriously i threaten, then had a pass intercepted in the end zone at the end of an 85-yard run. LSU 7, Rice 6 Louisiana State University beat Rice Institute, 7-6, Saturday before 42,000 fans when end Bill Wright’s toe forgot everything it learned for a few sad seconds. Rice seemed sure to get the third tie in the history of the 36- year-old inter-sectional rivalry af ter quarterback Leroy Fenstemak- er passed 15 yards to let left half back Billy Ed Daniels score with barely less than three minutes to play. Then, while the stands were tense, Wright’s toe slithered along the top of the ball and the try for point barely got over the line of scrimmage. It was hard for spectators, play ers and sometimes officials to keep up with who had the ball in the first half, Rice and LSU, both anx ious for wins, had uncontrollable jitters. The only place it didn’t show was in the stout lines, where play was vicious all through the game. Statisticians had a big night. Fourteen fumbles were recovered. Eight of them were for Rice and six for LSU, and only once did the man who fumbled get the ball back.

The Aggie helfback star left the game midway in the third quarter with a cut foot. Heavy Rains Bog Down Both Teams Leighton Stars As CHS Thrashes Milano 80-0 (Continued from Page 1) wall for his second touchdown of the night. Charlie McDonald held the spot light in the Aggie’s defensive ef forts of the backfield. Time after time the alert halfback stopped the Sooner carriers that came in his di rection. Yale Lary, one of the best punt ers in the South, continued to keep the Sooners deep into their own territory. His best was a 55-yard wind carrying boot that sailed deep into the Sooner goal line. Drizzle Turns to Rain Early in the third quarter the light drizzle turned into a regular steady flow of rain that bogged down both teams in the center of the field. Besides handling the punting du ties, Lary returned four OU punts for 71 yards, which bested all oth er efforts. Bob Smith, victim of numerous rumors as to his conditions prior to the Oklahoma game, did not start at his regular position. How ever, he did see action soon after the kick-off. Af'ter the game, Head Coach Ray George gave the following explan ation, “We did not know until the game started whether or not Bob would be able to see action. “He was still shaken up pretty bad after the Tech game. We did not want to name any special place that he was hurt because this would have only provided a sore spot for the Oklahomans to con-( centrate on. “He was really hurt all over but still played a fine game”. Smith Stops Rumors Smith disproved many other ru mors about his playing. He car ried the ball 17 times for 48 yards. However, the best show was his vicious down-field blocking which helped clear the way for Billy Tid well and Glenn Lippman. Billy Tidwell, after missing the Tech game, was a continuous Ag gie threat as he carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards. In the Ca det first drive, Tidwell went 17 yards after he was all but trapped for a 15-yard loss by five Sooner lineman. Graves threw a key block as Tidwell completely re versed his field and scampered by a clearing block by Lippman be fore he was bull-dogged down on the OU 36-yard line. Oklahoma’s brief moment of glo ry came with only 10 seconds re maining in the first half when half back Billy Vessels dashed through, center for 72 yards and their only tally for the night. Jim Weatherall, All - American tackle, added the Sooner extra point which' ended the' half a 7-T deadlock. The Cadet Grid Machine massed a total of 262 yards through the ground and air as compared to 188 for the visitors. A&M had 17 first downs against four for the Sooners.

Playing on home grounds, the Tigers were never required to punt throughout the game, and never gave up the ball on downs during the second half, as they scored during this period with each pos session. “I don’t think the Milano team was in good shape,” said Consoli dated’s Coach O. V. Chafin fol lowing the thorough beating his eleven handed Milano. “And my boys played a whale of a game to top that off.’ “Lightning” Leighton, 13 5- pound all-district right halfback, displayed his honor-winning qual ities as he ran wild over the Mi lano eleven. He showed both power and decep tion while piling up a total of 30 points. Leighton proved his broken field running as he scampered 34 yards for his first tally, 82 on the next, 9 on the third, 42 for the fourth 'and 43 for the fifth. Willie Arnold, left halfback, crowded Leighton all the way as he racked up a total of three touchdowns. His first tally came after a 12 yard surge and the second followed a 62 yard sprint. The third was after another 12 yard run. Another scorer was line-backer David Bonnen who intercepted an Eagle pass and traveled 49 yards to pay dirt. Freddie Lenz also tal lied six as he went over from 12 yards out. Bobby Jackson was the final scorer when he received a pass from quarterback Fred Anderson in the waning minutes of play and covered 32 yards to Eagle chalk line. The first quarter saw the score standing at 20-0, and at halftime it had been pushed to 41-0. The third period saw its only scores when Leighton made two of his five touchdowns. However, the Tigers came back in the fourth period to tally the most as they hit pay dirt four times. Starting this final surge off, Arnold scored from the 12 yard Jerry Leighton line and David Bonnen followed with a dash from the 43 yard line. Freddie Lenz, substitute fullback, scored the third when he plunged through from the 12, and Jackson came through with his 32 yard run. Outstanding line-play was turn ed in by the entire Consolidated line. Don Burchard and Melvin Free turned in well-played games, and Pinky Cooner, Donald Royder, and Bob Barlow added to the stout forward wall of the Tigers. The only injury received byl the Consolidated squad was Gayle Klip- ple who suffered a bruised hip. Coach Chafin reported that the bruise was not serious enough to permit Klipple, from playing in next Friday’s game. This coming game is with Mag nolia as underdogs since the two teams have both met Cypress-Fair- banks. Magnolia won their tilt 13- 12, but Consolida' Bobcats 13-7.

Herman Tidwell, cousin to Billy, led Hearne’s Eagles to a 50-0 victory over Thrall last Friday night. In their district opener, the Hearne eleven with Tidwell fig uring in on every count. He gal loped for four touchdowns and passed for the other four tallies. To complete his night’s work, Tidwell kicked both extra points for Hearne. His longest run of the night was a 53 yard streak to pay dirt.
