Football Pickings
Cadets May Win
Or Lose Says AB
New York, Oct. 18—(AP)—California is the No. 1 team
in the country. Under the Astute Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf,
the Golden Bears haven’t lost a regular season game in four
years, have a run of 38 straight excluding bowl engagements.
A man who would pick against them should be measured
for a straight jacket. Okay. Where’s the tape and scissors?
We predict the end of Pappy’s string and also see strong
upset possibilities facing two other top-ranking elevens,
Tennessee and Texas A&M.
Here Goes the Pickin’s
Southern California over California: The Trojans have a good but
not a great team. California is loaded with power. But the Trojans
will be afire with desire to avenge past indignitaries.
Tennessee over Alabama: The Volunteers are unbeaten and un
tied. Alabama has lost three. But forget the records in this one. The
Crimson tide will be more than a drunk of water.
Texas A&M over Texas Christian: Another game in which com
parative scores can be tossed out the window. We’ll string with the
Aggies but wouldn’t faint if it went the other way.
Texas over Arkansas: The Longhorns win their fifth straight but
the Razorbacks have a tough hide. Won’t be easy.
Michigan state over Penn State:
The Spartans have been winning The fi hti Irish boimce back
some close ones. This one shouldn t from their | MU shellacking . p itt
be so close. has no Fred Benners.

Open Conference Race
By Associated Press
The “dog-eat-dog” routine of
Southwest Conference football
moves in this week-end. There
will be throat-cutting and attempts
thereof, figuratively speaking,
from Fort Worth to Fayetteville.
Four teams will be opening their
conference race Saturday. Tw t o
others will be continuing it.
A&M, making its start, meets
Texas Christian, victor over Ar

clashes with Arkansas, which al
ready has lost two games. This ba-
tle will be in Fayetteville.
At Dallas, Rice and Southern
Methodist plunge into conference
warfare in a night game in the
Cotton Bowl.
Baylor, which started its fight
for the championship last week
by ending Arkansas, 9-7, takes on
green but growing Texas Tech at
Waco.
The game between Baylor and
the upstart Techsans, who licked
Texas Christian last week, might
be the best one of the lot. Tech,
flecked with freshmen, isn’t being
taken lightly by the Bears, which
is fortunate. The Red Raiders
aren’t to be taken lightly by any
body.
New York, Oct. 19—UP)—When
the 1951 All-America football team
is chosen by the Associated Press
this year, it’s certain the squad
will not lack for a passer.
Throwers featured the 19 new
players nominated today by the AP
All-America board for considera
tion. The additions brought to 38
the number already named this
year.
Offensive and defensive elevens
will be chosen at the end of the
season, with final picks being
drawn from the squad nominated
throughout the season by the new
AP board.
Heading the new list is Fred
Benners, the Southern Methodist
University halfback who complet
ed 22 of 44 passes for 337 yards
in helping forge SMU’s 27-20 vic
tory over Notre Dame.
Others nominated included Dick
Kazmaier, Princeton’s All-Amer
ica star whose passes beat Penn
sylvania, 13-7; Gil Bocetti of
Washington and Lee, who passed
for two' touchdowns in the 44-14
conquest of" Ytrgtrriny and Bill

“Orthodox” T
(Continued from Page 1)
The Aggies will operate off the
“orthodox” T but are capable of
using other formations which was
well demonstrated in the Oklahoma
contest.
TCU, supplied with the neces
sary manpower, will employ the
“two-platoon” system and their of
fense will run of the double and
the nationally famous “Meyer
Spread.”
The Horned Frogs will entertain
the Aggies with a large squad,
with a 200 pound average line and
the backs around 180.
Gilbert Bartosh, TCU’s “triple
threat”, will carry the burden of
the Frog attack. Last year Bar
tosh completed 77 out of 150
passes for 1023 yards, carried the
ball 171 times for 862 yards.
He led tjie SWC with a total of
fensive yardage of 1733. He fig
ured in 321 plays—100 more than
any other player in the conference.
He was fourth in the United
States.
This game will be the 47th
meeting of the old rivals which be
gan in 1897. Over the long years,
the Aggies have won 25 games, the
Frogs 17, and four were ties.
“The boys who are suppose to
know” have picked the Cadets as
13 point favorites but no one would
faint if it turned out just the other-
way.
Head TCU Coach Meyer is al
ways full of surprises and it is
likely that the Frogs will not be
caught napping.
Bob Ward, Maryland guard who
rvas named the Associated Press
Lineman of the Week, headed a
list of defensive stalwarts. Ward
played 47 minutes and gave an
outstanding performance in beat
ing Georgia, 43-7.

World Series
Cut Split
By New York
Cincinnati, Oct. 19—UP)—The
World Series money melon was cut
today and, while the New York
Yankees got the most money, it
was the losing Giants who set
a financial record in the 1951
classic.
In collecting $4,951.03 for each
full share, against $6,446.09 for
each Yank, the defeated national
leaguers got more dough than any
other second runner in history.
The previous high for a loser
W'as $4,829.40, paid to Brooklyn
Dodgers in 1941.
The cut for each Yankee receiv
ing a full share this year was
only the fourth highest. The best
was the $6,772.05 collected by
the victorious Cleveland Club of
1948, when it defeated the Boston
Braves.
The world champions voted full
shares to 31 members and part
shares to 16 others.
The Giants decided to give 29
members full shares, and parts of
shares to 11 others.
Coaches, bat boys, ground keep
ers, and office help figured in
the money split made by each club.
Baseball Commissioner Ford
Frick’s office also announced these
money facts of the six-game ser
ies:
The second place Cleveland club
of the American League and the
runner-up Brooklyns of the na
tional circuit got $2,042.18 each.
Cleveland full shares amounted to
$1,223.47. Brooklyn’s full share
was $1,345.35.
The third place Boston Red Sox
got $812.50 for a full share, while
the third place St. Louis cards of
the national circuit for $859.33
apiece.
The fourth place Boston Braves
of the National League and the
fourth place Chicago White Sox
divided their money so that each
full share amounted to $412.
The Yankee and Giant manage
ment each got $206,969.11.
The commissioner’s office will
bank $245,018.63.

Battalion Sports Writer
The Aggie Fish football team
just barely squeaked by the hard-
fighting T.C.U. Wogs last night on
Kyle Field, edging out a 27-26 vic
tory.
The Wogs were ahead all the
game until Joel Smith, Fish quar
terback from Lockhart, booted the
bail through the uprights breaking
a 26-26 deadlock in the last quar
ter.
Trailing at the half 7 to 19, the
Fish roared back for 20 points in
the last two periods for a hard
earned win.
Edward Kachtik, a Rio Hondo
lad, played a great game for the
cadets, both on defense and of
fense. Kachtik ran 63 yards in
the second quarter to score . the
first Fish score of the game. In
the third period Kachtik plunged
across the goal for another six
points.
Fish Defense
On defense, the Fish, although
heavily outweighed played a fine
game with Henry . Arnett a guard
from Highland Park, Sidney Ther
iot a guard from Gibson, Louis
iana, and Marvin Tate a guard
from Abilene showing up very well.
Also in on many tackles were
Fred Broussard of Dequincy,
Louisiana, Ivan Greenhaw of Dal
las, Billy Roberts of Galena Park,
and Lawrence Winkler of Temple..
In the secondary Joe Boring
from Dallas, Warren Anderson
from San Antonio, and Ken Lang
ford from Houston, looked very
well on defense.
Ends Bennie Sinclair of Mine-
ola and Rollina Rubsamen of San
Antonio made many tackles behind
the line of scrimmage for the Ca
dets.
Line Looks Weak
The Maroon and White line look
ed very weak at times, especially
in the early stages of the contest,
but seemed to grow stronger as
the game progressed.
The same could be said for the
Fish offensive backfield. During
the first half the Wog backfield
seemed to clik every time while the
Fish backs couldn’t seem to hang
on to the ball, fumbling several
times.
Edgar Hennig at quarterback,
Virgil Patton at fullback and Ger
ald Sandusky and Kachtik at the
halfbacks seemed to work smooth
ly in the second half as Patton
scored two touchdowns and Kach
tik one. Sandusky was a consis-
tant ground gainer all evening.
Hennig, a 1,90 pound lad from Ty
ler appeared to be a very cool
passer and ball handler, playing
all the game except for a few min
utes when Sam Howard came in to
call plays.
Although looking bad in spots
last night the Fish certainly show
ed that never say die spirit and
with a little more polish should
be able to keep their record at
1000.
A&M Kicks Off
A&M kicked off to the Wogs
who failed to move on their first
try on the attack.
After stalling the Fish offense
the Wogs directed by Roland
Slinkscale, All - State, 165-pound
scatback from Fort Worth, travel
ed from their own 35 to break the
scoring ice. The scoring play was
a pass from Clinkscale to Weldon
Dacus for 40 yards.
Work Horse
Clinkscale a workhorse was rem-
inscent of Lindy Berry of T. C. U.
who was the original workhorse.
Clinkscale carried the pigskin al
most every time and gained all
but 30 yards of the Wogs yardage
The try for the extra point by
the Wogs was no good and that
was all the^scoring for the first
qaurter, which ended up Wogs 6
and the Aggie Fish 0.
Early in the second period W. C.
O’Neal playing guard for the Wogs
intercepted Hennig’s pass and ran
to the cadets 15 yard line. On the
next play Clinkscale swept around
his own right end to go over stand
ing up to put the Wogs out in front
by 12 points. The try for extra
point was no good and the score
remained Wogs 12 A&M 0.
Kachtik Runs
On the first play from scrim
mage after the kickoff, Kachtik
started on his own 38 yard line
and ran all the way for the first
Fish score going over standing up.
Lyman Preston of Austin convert
ed to put the cadets back in the
game 7 to 12.
Richard Vick, left halfback from
Beaumont, kicked the ball to Clink
scale on his own 5 yard line, he
almost broke away carrying the
hoghide all the way to the Aggie
48.
Terry Herman of Gainesville
relieved Clinkscale and led the way
to paydirt hitting Dacus in the end
zone to go out in front 18 to 7.
David Finney finally split the up
rights for the Wogs making the
score 19 for the Wogs and 7 for
the Fish as the gun signalled the
end of the first half.
T. C. U. Freshmen kicked off to
the A&M Fish to start the second
half of play and Ken Langford
right halfback from Houston re
turned the ball back to his own 39.
James Self took the ball over the
right side for 3 yards. Then San-

EAST MEETS BEST
IH NEW RELAY EVENT
You’ve heard of the Penn Relays. But
have you ever heard of a relay where the
hurdles are mountains, the average stride
is thirty miles, and the track stretches
coast to coast?
It’s the Bell System’s Ntadio-Nleiau
and it brings East and West together in
one of the most important events in the
history of comnumications.
Telephone construction crews have just
recently completed the coast-to-coast
iCiaeleo system. Today, Long
Distance calls ride on radio microwaves,.
beamed through the air from tower to
tower. And, for the first time, television
programs have been flashed from coast
to coast.
The new system supplements the thou
sands of miles of wire cable that already
tie the nation together. It helps make
America’s vast communications network
even stronger and more flexible. And it
could hardly happen at a belter time. The
demands of defense are heavy and urgent.
HOW WORKS. Microwaves travel in a straight line. So relay
towers are usually built on hilltops and spaced about thirty miles apart. Just as a
runner picks up the baton from another runner; so each tower picks up microwaves
from its neighbor, and with complex electronic equipment amplifies and focuses
them like a searchlight, then beams them accurately at the next tower. And hun
dreds of Long Distance calls ride the beam at the same time.
BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
