Isbell Labeled Threat
To Defensive Backfield
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Writer
Larry Isbell sparked the Bay
lor Bears to a 40-20 victory over
the Red Raiders of Texas Tech
with his passing Saturday after
noon.
This labeled Isbell as a definite
threat to the defensive backfield
of the Aggies, weakened when
Augie Saxe dropped from the line
up for an indefinite period as he

Trinity game.
Saxe, Charlie McDonald, and
Yale Lary made up the smooth
clicking defensive backfield the
Cadets displayed in their first
three games.
Bill Ballard filled in the va
cancy for the Frog game Saturday
and seems to be the likely fill-in
for Saxe for the remainder of the
season if he doesn’t return.
Isbell’s record for the 1950 sea
son and for the Baylor games this
year shows he is a dangerous
threat to any weakened backfield.
He threw 186 times in 1950 and
completed almost 50 per cent as
he connected with 81. Fifteen of
these tosses wound up as touch
down passes.
Quarterback Isbell also boasts a
good record of punting. He throws
right handed and kicks with his

Victims of a 20-to-40 upset last
week by TCU, the Aggies will be
out to drop the Baylor Bears from
the ranks of the undefeated in
their second conference tilt Satur
day on Kyle Field.
Head Coach Ray George of A&M
commented on the on-sides kick-off
the Horned Frogs used success
fully after their first touchdown.
“It was a perfect kick and we
just didn’t cover it—the boys were
alerted for the kick and it was a
perfect spot to try it since they
were on our 45 yardline,” he said.
The ball had been placed on the
Aggie 45 yard marker. Two cadet
defenders had accidently bumped
into each other and fallen on Gil
Bartosh who was holding the ball
for Keith Flowers.
“This was a perfectly legal pen
alty,” George said. “If a player
Houston was voted the “Most Val
uable Back” faced during the sea
son by the 1950 Aggie eleven.
And last year’s Cadets faced
some good ones. They ran up
against such powerful backs as
Billy Vessels and Leon Heath of'
Oklahoma, Kyle Rote and Fred
Benners of SMU, Byron Townsend
of TU, and Gilbert Bartosh of
TCU.
The Baylor passing attack is

eral preseason predictions said the
Bear squad would be completely
lost without Isbell.
bumps into the kicker or the man
holding the ball, whether inten
tionally or not, it is a 15 yard pen
alty,” he added.
There was also doubt in some
people’s minds as to whether or
not Flowers was off-sides on the
play where Billy Tidwell fumbled
the ball.
George said that films of the
game showed “Flowers was not off
sides, but Hugh Meyer had al
ready moved his hands, and Flow
ers just timed it close.”
“A few missed tackles hurt us
lot,” George remarked, “I don’t
think this has dimmed the spirit
of the boys very much—I know
the coaches feel the same way.”

Greatest Sports Thrill

By ELO NOHAVITZA
as told to
PAT LeBLANC
“My best thrill sinceJ have been
here at A&M, was in boating Ok
lahoma this year.
“The score was 0-0. The fact that
we hadn’t scored and with the
corps roaring, made tension and
determination great.”
“It was Dick Gardemal quar
terbacking and the time was in
the second quarter. Dick gave
off to Bill Tidwell, who ran to
the left. Bill handed off to Glenn
Lippman, who was running to
the right, to complete the re
verse play.
“Not a hand was laid on him. I
felt damn good since I helped in
the blocking.
“After the touchdown, it was the
first time I had seen everybody
act like they did. The corps went
wild.
“We kinda had a handicap
since they were number four in
the nation and we were the un
derdogs. But after that TD, I
felt more energy, more spirit in
me, than ever. •
“The whole team sort of realized
that we now could go against
mighty OU.
“It gave me that feeling that we
could beat them and I’m sure that
the whole team had this same feel
ing.
“I felt even better when I was
in the dressing room and every
body was happy. This was our
third victory, since we had knock
ed off UCLA and Texas Tech.
“Ray George was right in
there with us, just like everyone
hugging everybody.
“It was great.
“It was the greatest moment
of my life in football.”

Elo Nohavitza was No. 1 start
