Friday, October 12, 1951 THE BATTALION Page Freshmen Take Cubs In Second Win, 40-20 By JIM ASHLOCK Bttt Staff Writer A&M’s fish football team defeat ed the Baylor Cubs 40-20 Thurs day night in a football classic that would match the varsity’s win ov er Oklahoma for excitement. Running behind a strong ground attack sparked by excellent line work the Fish pounded the Cub’s defense in an attempt to find a weak spot, with the Cubs resorting to similar strategy. Early in the second quarter lit tle James Self, 150 pound all stater from Wichita Falls, drew first blood as he raced eleven yards for the first tally. A penalty against A&M, put the ball on the Cubs seven, but Joel Smith kicked the conversion, shooting the Fish into a 7-0 lead. Aggies Block Kick Late in the second quarter L. G. Dupree, 170-pound Cub back from Texas City, was attempting to kick from his own 30. The kick was blocked and Henry Clark, Fish left end, recovered on the Cub 23. Five plays later Gerald Sandus ky, powerful fish fullback, drove AFTER m FIRST PIPEFUL Y01TLI ALWAYS SMOKE IT! R. R. TOBIN TOBACCO CO. 406 WOODBRIDGE AVE., DETROIT 26, MICH. j Enclosed is 10c.

The ball exchanged hands three more times before the gun an nounced the end of the first half with the scoreboard reading A&M 14, Baylor 0. Apparently overconfident as a result of their lead, the Fish were somewhat careless as they began play in the second half. Baylor, taking advantage of this let up, opened up with a powerful and determined ground attack which netted them seven points before the half was three minutes old. Sinclair Goes 65 Yards Midway through the third quar ter the Fish found themselves on their own 9 yard line and unable to penerate the powerful Cub de fense. Quarterback Howard called a pass and connected to Bennie Sinclair who raced 65 yards to spell the score Fish 19, Cubs 7. Cub quarterback Frank Peschel chose to take to the air and filled the sky with passes, but to no avail. Dupree kicked from his own 33 and Warren Anderson, 170- pound Fish halfback, received on the Fish 65, picked up his block ers, and went all the way for the fourth Aggie score. Baylor again failed to get their offense functioning correctly and had to kick out on their own 37. Anderson took the ball and raced 37 yards to put the ball on the Cub 37. Seven plays later Bernie Cook, right halfback from Clyde, plunged into the end zone for another fish score. Smith’s kick was good and the fish led 33-7. Late in the fourth qutrter An derson intercepted a Peschel aerial on the Cub 38 to set up the last Aggie score of the night. Edward Kachttik took the leath er on an end sweep and fought his way over to set the score at 40-7. Baylor ttook to the air in the fi nal moments and unreeled a rous ing finish, capable of thrilling ev en the most sullen spectator. Be fore the Fish could move into pass defense position a combination of Peschel to Jones had netted the Cubs two touchdowns and one con version to complete scoring for the evening. Jones Did All Baylor Scoring Allen Jones was the sparkplug of the Baylor offense, making ample yardage on rushing and catching two touchdown passes, and running for the other. The fine line play and backfield running displayed by the Fish are something that has been absent from A&M freshmen teams since the days when Lippman and Smith were jTish. This is without a doubt a wel come sight to head coach Ray George who will be seeking re placements for his graduation rid dled varsity next season.

Ray George, head mentor of the Aggies, said following the game, “I was very impressed and pleased with the way Jack played. He looked awfully sharp to me.” Jack is a junior from Corpus Christi where he played high school football for four years. Three of these however, were spent on the second string, since Jack’s bigger brother held down the first team chores. Weighing in at 220, 19-year-old Jack carries his weight on a 6 ft. 3 inch frame, and is said by many to be of splendid propor tions. A pro scout once saw Jack’s gigantic build in action and label ed him as the best pro prospect in the Southwest. He has also been called “potential All-Ameri can.” Cannamela on Defense Cannamela gained defensive hon ors for his work in helping to stop the University of Washington in an important Pacific Coast Con ference game at Seattle. Little took the' offensive laurels for his sterling play against Oklahoma at College Station. Gene Moeller, Tennessee center, and Tom Hanlon, Pennsylvania end, received high praise in the voting. Other linemen nominated were Centers Dick Hightower, Southern Methodist; Hugh Meyer, Texas A&M; Tom Hugo, Denver. EAT AT . . . DOUG’S CAFE . . . and You Eat the Best Steaks Mexican Foods SEA FOODS “Temptilizing” Foods You Can Afford to Eat 27TH & COLLEGE ROAD SWC Predictions A&M Over Tigers, Texas To Top OU By BOB SELLECK Battalino Sports News Editor This past week has proved to be the week of “firsts” for the Aggie grid machine. Coach Ray George was voted the “Top Coach of the Week” by a United Press sportswriter’s poll. The Aggie mentor was picked because of his team’s strong win over the Oklahoma Sooner S'. Glenn Lippman, SWC leading ball carrier, was picked as the “Top Back of the Week” by the same UP press poll. Lippman scored both touchdowns for the Cadets and carried the ball 19 times for 87 yards to bring his conference leading total to 254 yards. “Top Defensive Lineman of the Week” sc I.,.,. honors went to the Aggie’s little giant, Jack Little. Little was recognized by the Asso ciated Press for his great line play that helped bring the Oklahoma offense to a standstill. SWC battles will step into their fourth round of play with every team scheduled to see action. A&M 35—Trinity 7 Trinity should hold up good in the first half but will break un der the Cadet’s power in the final quarters. A&M will travel to San Antonio with a perfect record thus far this season. The Cadets have ac cepted the seriousness of the game and have worked out this past week like they mean business. Trinity’s Dalton Klaus will sup ply the offensive punch for the Tigers team and the big Trinity line have the will but definitely lack reserve strength. Glenn Lippman, Billy Tidwell, Boh Smith, and the alternating combination of Ray Graves and Dick Gardemal at the quarterback slot supply the Aggies with one of the best offensive punches in the natioin. Stengel Sits Atop World With Wink New York, Oct. 12—GP) — Old Casey Stengel sits atop the base ball world today with a knowing wink and three straight world championships to show for his first three years as manager of the New York Yankees. You can bet your botttom dollar the grizzled skipper will be back in 1952 to complete his $65,000 plus contract. And probably 1953 and so on. Unless poor health dampens the fire of this old vvarhorse, he’ll be back as long as they want him. Right now, that’s probably for ever. Beat Trinity KORA to Broadcast A&M-Tiger Game Alamo Stadium in San Antonio will be the scene of action as the Texas Aggies take on Trinity Uni versity. Broadcast time is set for 8 p.m. and at the microphones will be Dave Russell and Jim Wiggins to render an account of the game ov er stations KORA, Bryan; KABC, San Antonio; KHT, Houston; KFJZ, Fort Worth; WRR, Dallas. This broadcast is made possible by the Humble Oil and Refining- Company. Texas 20—Oklahoma 14 The Sooners took it on the chin from the Aggies last week and now collide head on with another Lone Star representative. Many close observers believe Oklahoma is improved over last year. However, this is debatable. The Longhorn defense should prove almost as tough as the Aggies. The past three years have found Oklahoma’s split T offense victor ious. This is the principal reason for Texas’ switch to the formation in ’51. We believe the Longhorns will spill Oklahoma. Notre Dame 27—SMU 14 This will be fourth clash between these two colorful grid powers. Each of the previous were decided in Notre Dame’s favor by the mar gin of one touchdown or less. Their last meeting in 1949, the most memorable of all, saw Kyle Rote put on a one man show for SMU in battling the highly-rated Notre Dame to a 20-27 decision. Rote, of course has left and thei Mustangs now have Fred Ben ners. Benners has put on an aerial show that has almost been super human. The Mustangs’ ground game lacks consistency; therefore the better all around balance favors Notre Dame. Baylor 20—Arkansas 14 Baylor’s high ratings seems to be confirmed as a result of con vincing wins over Houston and Tulane. A batch of veterans headed by Larry Isbell engage the burly Porkers in their first conference test. The Waco squad will give away much weight to the 220 pound plus average of the Arkansas for wards. Sophomore sensation Lamar Mc- Han and Jim Rinehart supply the Porkers with an offense to bother Baylor, but we will string along with the sharpshooting of Isbell to whip Arkansas. TCU 21—Tech 7 The Horned Frog’s Gilbert Bar- Texas Tech Red Raiders are tosh will give Tech more trouble , , . „ than they will be able to handle. s ^’ looking for their first win TCU is also pointing to its coming against a Southwest Conference conference clash with the Aggies, member since early in 1949. Navy 14—Rice 13 The young Rice Owls have im- touchdowns, proved but it is still too gradual. - T ,, Rice looked good in losing a close Howevei, the Middies are sea- battle to LSU last week. The Tig- soned, better balanced and should ers were favored by two or three sink Rice in a close one. Trinity Allowed 27 Yards Last Game Things have changed a lot since A&M last played Trinity Univer sity. September 23, 1933 was the last meeting between these two teams. Head Coach Matty Bell of SMU was mentor at Aggieland and Trinity was located at Waxaha- chie. Thq Aggies were picked to win the Southwest Conferrence and stai’ted off the season running roughshod over the Trinity Tigers 38-0 on Kyle Field. Three teams were used by Coach Bell and allowed the Tigers only 27 yards the whole game. “RAM’ HIDE” and “MOM DIDN’T TELL ME” For the big games... PIONEER See A&M vs. TCU at Ft.
