with the tying score in the third

the Hogs.
Baylor 18, Texas 6
Fumbles by the Longhorns gave
the alert Bears the ball five times
costing the game for the Teasip-
pers. The Bruins, surprising every
one by not unloosening an aerial
barrage, scored all three touch
downs on ground plays. Texas, a
power team, scored their lone six
points on a 15-yard pass play
from halfback Don Barton to End
Tom Stolhandske.
Jerry Goody, Green and Gold
halfback, took an Isbell handoff
fifteen yards from paydirt and
ran through the Steers secondary
for the tying score in the third
quarter.
Fullback Dick Parma put the
Baylor team out in front by pow
ering over from the one yardline
in the fourth quarter after a Tex
as fumble had been recovered on
the Texas 10.
Later in the last period the
Bears recovered another Orange
and White fumble on the Texas 31
and added six insurance points
when Don Carpenter, Bruin half
back plowed over from the one.
Rice 6, Arkansas 0
Billy Burkhaltcr, a senior on a
mostly sophomome Owl squad,
slipped over from the one in the
fleeting moments of the last per
iod to climax a hard fought game
at the new Rice Stadium.
On the second play froip scrim
mage in the first period, Troxell,
a Hog halfback broke loose for a
53 yard scamper to the Rice 28. A
fumble gave the Owls the ball to
stop the Razorback threat.
Rice had a chance to score later
in the second period when a par
tially blocked punt was taken on
the Hogs 20 by the Owls, who fail
ed to penetrate any farther.

Leighton’s Gharley-Horse
Stalls Consolidated Tigers
Jerry Leighton, top scoring ace
of District 24-B, was handicapped
by a cha,rley horse Friday night
as the A&M Consolidated Tigers
tasted defeat at the hands of the
Class-AA Navasota Rattlers 27-7.
Scoring in each of the first two
periods, the Rattlers held a 13-0
lead at the half.
The lone Tiger touchdown came
in the third quarter when Fred
Anderson, quarterback of Coach O.
Y. Chafin’s “T” formation, passed
to George Johnston from the eight
yard stripe.
Rattler back, Richard Stone had
a fine night as he made consistant
runs for long gains. Donald Mins,
another Navasota backfield runner
who . broke loose for a 70-yard
touchdown scamper in the last
quarter was also outstanding for
the Rattlers.
Coach Chafin announced after
the game that Leighton had in
jured his leg, but he didn’t think
it was serious.
Aggie trainer, Bill Dayton, ad
vised against Leighton’s playing.
Chafin didn’t know when Leighton
would be ready to play again.
The Tiger’s next game is with
Lexington, who is in last place in
District 24-B standings. If A&M
Consolidated can defeat Lexington,
it should have the district champ
ionship in the bag.

Jerry Norton (44), SMU back, skirts right end for four yards
before being tackled by Dick Frey (77), A&M tackle and Charles
McDonald (27), A&M back in the first period. Also shown is

ly completed a pass to Val Joe
Walker on the first play from
scrimmage after the Cadet kick
off.
Walker scooted for 32 yards be
fore he was brought down by Bud
dy Shaeffer on the Aggie 20 to end
the first half.
Benners Stopped
Benners, SMU’s fading pass-
wizard, was used sparingly and
proved ineffective for the third
straight time. The Aggie pass de
fense stood strong.
Late in the third quarter the
SMU ground machine rolled again
for 52 yards in six plays. Leading
the carriers was the versatile Nor
ton whose dashes set up the score
with 25, 8, 6, and 3 yard sprints.
Hansen, SMU fullback, plunged
over the center for the last yard
and the Mustang’s final tally.
Stan S.tollenwerck kicked the good
extra point to tie up the game at
14-all and end the scoring for the
afternoon.
Two Aggie linebackers, Sam
Moses and Jack Little, showed up
exceptionally well on defense along
with Buddy Shaeffer. Little and
Moses proved to be big headaches
for SMU backs.

Aggie Football Game Proves
Confusing to Visiting Female
By JUDY WHITSON
(Editor’s Note: Miss Whitson,
girl reporter, thinks women have
a picture of football games all
their own. She lets loose on that
opinion below.)
If this is the way Aggie foot-
games are going to be, we might
as well stay home. All that running
around—and the way those dartin'
boys got their shirts dirty—and
the thing still ended it way it
started.
We though at first the game
was going to be pretty exciting.
There were only two girls in our
party, and men were all around the
place. That we couldn’t find fault
with.
But suddenly some boys in red
and some in wine costumes trotted
onto the field. We have no idea
what their hurry was. All they
did when they got there were
some sitting-up exercises.
Farmer’s Fight??
And, dadgum it, they seemed to
take all the Aggies’ attention.
People in the stands jumped to
their feet and yelled something
about “digging” and “farmers.”
We guess they wanted the farm
ers to dig potatoes. But If those
boys on the field were farmers,
why did they have on knickers and
sweat shirts? It didn’t make sense,
so we stopped worrying.
The wind kept blowing our hair,
and the sun was awfully bright.
Unfortunately, there was simply
no place to take a sunbath. The
stands seemed to be rather crowd
ed.
Mussed hair was bad enough, but
we certainly had to get upset when
a line• of swaying Aggies knocked
our elbow and made us smear our
lipstick. We’re sure they were
drunk, the way they were holding
each other up.
About an hour after we had been
there, some of the boys scattered
around the field and the others
sat down. They must have been
tired.
Some fellows out in front in
white coats started screaming
when the boys tossed the football
in the air. After that those in. red
pants played keep-away with those
in the wine pants.
Eveiybody on the field had num
bers on their shirts, and we noticed
that 44 (that must have been the
year he graduated) got to run more
erediable performance for the Ca
dets along with Dick Frey and Elo
Nohavitza.
Jarc Netardus, Aggie lineman,
displayed a previously unused tal
ent as he took a pass away from
Behton Musslewhite, who was try
ing to snag a Norton-tossed areial.
This interception, late in the
game, gave the Cadets a final
chalice to bring the game out of the
fire but four attempts failed and
SMU took over on downs.
Belmers canie in and, completed
two screen passes to Musslewhite
moving to Aggie 39 when time ran
out.
The statistics were about as even
as the game was clean. The contest
was hard fought all the way and
remarkably free of penalties. Each
team was only assessed twice for
five yards.
Only sophomore end Eric Miller-
received any serious injury and it
is expected that he will be ready
for the Rice game, said A&M’s
Head Coach Ray George while ans
wering questions in the Press Box
after the game.
Comment heard from the sports
editors and writers representing
all the major papers in the state
was the fact that Ray George is
the only coach in the conference
that makes himself available for-
questioning after each gamer
His action is really appreciated
and they expressed hope that he
would continue with his attitude'
of cooperating which is definitely
lacking in some of the other SWC
coaches.

than, anyone else. The boys in the
wine pants always stayed away
when he got the ball. They probab
ly liked him a lot.
One time a player ran clear off
the field and the people in the
stands knocked us over. One tried
to kiss us. The player went out
of the game after he ran away, so
he must not have been very good.
After the boys stopped phrying
for keeps everyone left the stands
in a hurry. No one cheered any
more, but several of them said a
few ugly words about rice. Wo
guess the - farmers are going td"
dig rice next week instead of po
tatoes.
