Monday, October 29, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Tigers Tie with Bobcats Now Lead District 24-B With both squads sparked by sensational defensive play, the A&M Consolidated high school Tig ers and the Hempstead Bobcats battled to a 7-7 tie. Both squads also entered the game undefeated in conference play, which encouraged both teams to concentrate on stopping each other’s offense. A&M Consolidated was given the slight edge on the basis of scoring 11 first downs to six for the Hempstead eleven. Both teams had three penetrations and were tied in the scoring department. Now the Tigers, with three con ference wins, are undisputedly in first place and have a comparative ly easy slate from hereon. Prior to the contest both Hempstead and the Tigers were tied for the num ber one spot. Bobcats Score First The Bobcats tallied first, scor ing early in the second period. The TD climaxed a drive, begin ning late in the first period, which started on the Hempstead 29 yard line marker. A 44-yard jaunt by halfback Clayton Stephens advanced the pigskin to the Consolidated 38 yard line. Huey Henson plunged for the score three plays later. In the third period the Tigers finally got around to scoring. Tak ing over on their own 37 yard line, Consolidated advanced the ball to the Bobcat) 29 yard marker on two long jaunts by Willie Arnold and Jerry Leighton. Four plays later Leighton plung ed for the tally, George Johnston booted the extra point. Out of Downs After taking over when Jackson blocked a punt and the Tigers re covered, the Consolidated gridders ran out of downs on the Bobcat eight yard marker. Another highlight of the game was a 56 yard punt runback by Leighton, leading scorer in the district, but the Tigers were un able to advance the ball any far ther. Every member of the Consolidat ed team contributed to the hard fought victory. Some of the more deserving were Bobby Jackson PALACE Bryan Z-SS79 MON. - TUBS.

The Bears failed to make a first down and Isbell kicked to Yale Lary who returned the ball from the A&M 20 to the 26-yard line. Smith picked up 4 yards through right guard, Lippman followed with four more, and once again Tidwell scored for the Aggies on a long sprint around left end. This time he covered 66 yards for the touchdown. Hooper’s kick was good. Aggies 14—Baylor 7 Baylor took over and drove up field after the kickoff until Lary intercepted a pass for the Aggies on his own 10-yard line and work ed his way back up to the 26. The Cadets again showed their driving and passing power as they marched 76-yai'ds for their third touchdown. Charlie McDonald made the score for A&M when he boot-leg ged the ball for 6 yards behind the sharp blocking of Marshall Rush and Elo Nohavitza. Hooper concerted,,,for, the Cadets to give A&M its half-time lead, 21-7. The third quarter went score less but Baylor was in possession of the ball when the fourth per iod began. Isbell passed to Williams in the end-zone from 28 yards out to score for the Bears and end a 94- yard drive. This touchdown came with only one minute gone in the last period. Brocato again con verted. A see-saw battle followed which saw passer against passer with Ray Graves and Gardemal throw ing for the Cadets and Isbell for the Bears. Late in the game Baylor took over on the Aggie 42-yard line and drove to the Cadet 6 without using their powerful aerial attack. Riley Snags for TD Isbell faked a run around left end, stopped, and threw a pass to Riley in the right flat. The Bay lor end stepped over untouched for the final touchdown of the afternoon. Brocato’s kick was good. Billy Tidwell took the kickoff on the A&M 13 and returned to the Baylor 34. Hooper then tried a field goal for the Cadets on fourth down from the 42-yard line but the kick fell short of the goal posts. Baylor had one play and chose to settle for a tie as Isbell hand ed off to Sullivan who drove for 4 yards to end the game.

SWC Round-up A&M, Baylor Tie, TU Wins, Frogs Lose Heartbreaker Based On AP Report Compared to last week, the Southwest Conference managed to surive the week-end without too many shocks. A&M and Baylor battled to a 21-21 tie, Texas came from be hind to whip the Rice Owls. TCU fell before USC in what was con sidered by many as an upset. The biggest jolt was received when Arkansas sputtered and fail ed before a revived Santa Clara squad 21-12. Texas 14, Rice 6 Powerful and methodical Texas had to rumble from behind in the second half Saturday afternoon to subdue Rice Institution’s pesky Owls, 14-6, before 50,000 per spiring spectators. The Owls, who upset SMU in their conference opener, started out as if they intended to repeat the performance at the expense of the favored Longhorns. Rice marched 73 yards in the Second period in eleven plays with Billy Burkhalter going over from the 2-yarcr line for the touchdown. Eleven minutes of the third per iod kicked away before the Long horns could find the end zone. And when they got there they went ahead on June Davis’ perfect ex tra point kick to stay. Steer First Score The first Texas scoring assault started from the Steer 27 and end ed when Halfback Don Barton hit Gib Dawson with a running pass in touchdown land. The other Longhorn tally came at the conclusion of a 75-yard march when Jimmy Pace crashed for the final two feet. Dawson was the outstanding of fensive performer of the day as he accounted for 144 net yards, only 3 less than the Rice team. The Arizona lad carried the ball fif teen times for 116 yards, and completed two of three thrown passes for another 28 yards. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. Burkhalter Best Burkhalter and particularly Ted dy Riggs, the Owls’ best runner, contributed heavily to the touch down drive with their ball carry ing with occasional help from Full back Bill Fi’azier. The words of Rice’s coach, Jess Neely, must have sounded pleasing to Ed Price, Texas’ first-year men tor, who has been working hard toward getting a better balance into his attack of his hard-run ning team. “Passing won the ball game for Texas,” said Neely. “There’s no doubt about that.” Game at a Glance First downs Rice 9 Texas 20 Yards rushing 125 272 Yards passing 22 106 Passes attempted 14 16 Passes completed 2 7 Passes intercepted 2 1 Number punts 11 7 Punting average 32.8 32.6 Fumbles^ lost 1 4 Yards penalized 20 49 TCU 26, USC 28 Texas Christian University al most koncked USC loose from its new-found national repuation Sat urday, but the Trojans came from What’s Cooking AT The Exchange Store ON November 6? behind with counter brilliance in the last quarter to emerge on the top end of a 28-26 score. The game, pitting the top teams of the Pacific Coast and the South west Conferences was not decided until the final gun. Two invaluable points missed on attempted conversions and two touchdowns fumbled away in the end zone, cost the Homed Frogs from Fort Worth the victory. The vaunted Trojans, rated No. 6 this past week in the Associated Press poll, went into the intersec tional battle favored to whip the Frogs by thirteen points, at least. Instead, USC was held to a 7-to- 7 tie at half time, and only the heroic play of Tailback Frank Gif ford and awakened Wingback A1 Carmichael, brought USC its fifth collegiate triumph of the season. McKown Stars The outstanding staff for TCU was its 19-year-old sophomore, Ray McKown, who led his team to an upset win over Texas A&M last week and almost did it again this bright, warm afternoon. In the final two minutes, TCU took over on its 20, and was back deep in Troy territory when time ran out. Gifford converted for all of SC’s extra points, but Keith Flowers was unsuccessful on two of his tries. The two big heartbreaks for TCU came in the first quarter. The Texans took the opening kickoff and flew 73 yards, but on the last play McKown fumbled away the ball to Linebacker Pat Cannamela in the end zone. The next time the Frogs got the ball they lit out from the 32 and got down to the 16. From there McKown passed perfectly to Wilson George, an end, but George let the ball get away from him as he fell backward into the end zone.

THEODORE DREISER'S ^Prince who ! was a THIEL the Year's Sensational Hew Yowi Star Discoveries TONY cum PIPER MIE u mumiHmmmL wtim While the favored Razorbacks were far from the team that whip ped Texas last week, Santa Clara didn’t look like a ball club that had lost four games this season. The Broncos, at a weight disad vantage of 20 pounds per man, turned loose a set of fast backs and a brilliant aerial attack to keep the intersectional scrap un der control throughout. The B rones also threw up an amazing defense that held the Raz orbacks to only 29 yards on the ground. On the first scrimmage play of the game, Bronco Halfback Del Rasmussen took a handoff, drift ed to the sidelines and when his blockers formed a protective wall, raced straight for the goal 73 yards away. No one laid a hand on him. Arkansas Fumbles Near the end of the first quar ter Santa Clara capitalized on a fumbled Arkansas pitchout for an other quick touchdown. Bill Payne grabbed the ball for the Broncos on the Razor back 29. On the next play Quarterback Johnny Pasco spotted Rasmussen standing alone on the five and threw to him for the score. A 45-yard punt return by John ny Cole put Arkansas on the Bronco 25 and touched off a Razor- back tally. Buddy Sutton scored on a two-yard leap over right guard. Pasco passed six yards to Gern Nagler for a third period touch down that insured the West Coast ers a victory. Arkansas was able to make it close only with another brilliant punt return by Cole. This time he went all the way—67 yards. How We Saw the Game Graves Criticized For Plays Called By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Writer Several Questions have been asked about why Ray Graves called the formation and ran the plays as he did when he was working deep in his own territory during the last minutes of play. It was smart quarterbacking. Just before the half ended, Graves was throwing from the same formation, a single wing spread, and had all the time in the world to toss his passes. The Aggies didn’t use this formation again until that time came when they had a 7 point lead and wanted to push the Bears back up the field. Anticipating the same results, that Bay lor wouldn’t rush in hard and fast, Graves entered the game and called for the spread. He had an option of either running or pass ing. If anyone could get in the open he would pass, but if he couldn’t find a receiver, he could run behind the powerful blocking of the two guards who were dropping back and flaring out to lead interference. He took the ball, faked his pass, - * —' ' but when he tried to run each time Graves met a swarm of Bay lor tacklers, inspired by their last minute rally. Show Sharp Blocking Blocking that’s seldom been seen on Kyle Field broke into the light Saturday as again and again Ag gie blockers cleared the way for the Cadets ground attack. All-American Bob Smith contin ually threw key blocks as he led runners throughout the afternoon. W. T. and Marshall Rush also let the Bears know that they were going to have a tough time tack ling cadet runners as they added the precision blocks to the power ful attack of the Maroon and White. Jack Little put in another game in which he saw action nearly the entire time.
