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

into the end zone for the second
Aggie TD of the night.
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.

homa, was very effective in open

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

in the Southwest. He has also
been called “potential All-Ameri
can.”

Cannamela gained defensive hon
ors for his work in helping to
stop the University of Washington

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.

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,

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.
