CHS Needs Victory For Championship A&M Consolidated Tigers and I the Lexington Eagles will clash on Tiger field tonight, a contest | that will decide the district 24-B * Championship. ' TODAY & SATURDAY FIRST RUN —Features Start— 1:33 - 3:08 - 4:43 - 6:18 7:53 - 9:28 NEWS — CARTOON PREVUE TONIGHT 11 P.M. FIRST RUN • HIS ROLE OF ROUS! NEWS — CARTOON PREVUE SATURDAY 11 P.M. FIRST RUN Lexington has lost four district gaities and the only blot on the Consolidated Record is a tie with Hempstead. The conference crown will hinge on the outcome of tonight’s game because the Tigers must win to share conference honors with Hempstead. Hempstead’s season is over and they have a, 5 won and one tie record. The Tigers would win the championship on the virtue of winning over Hempstead on first downs. Lexington’s four losses should indicate a Tiger run-away but Coach 0. V. Chafin is leary of the Eagles because they lost four games by a total of only nine points. In only one game were they beaten by as much as a single touchdown. Leighton missed last week’s en counter with Navasota due to a charley horse, but should ready by game time tonight. Lightnin’ Leighton is still way out in front in individual scoring honors with the 120 points, an aver age of 20 points per game. He is sure to be an all-district back. Anderson also missed last week’s tilt but his cold has gone and he will be the man under for the Cha- fin-coached lads. Opening the holes for the Tiger backs is the dependable Consoli dated forward wall. The offensive team is composed of such proven lads as Jimmy Richard and Bobby Jackson at ends, Dan Williams and Thomas Wade holding the tackle posts, Don Royter and Jimmy Bond in the guard slots, and Pinky Coon- er checking the center position. Richard and Jackson, the two wingmen are both great pass catchers and provide good targets for the able passing arm of An derson. Defense boys are Jackson, Pete Rickman, Malvin Free, Bobby Smith, Don Wilson, Don Burchard, David Bonnen and George John ston. Klipple and Arnold double as de fensive halfbacks with Jerry Leighton at safety. If the Tigers win they will play the winner of District 24-B. “STARS IN MY CROWN” “EXCUSE MY DUST” These two Cadets are slated to see plenty oP action against the Rice Owls in Houston tomorrow afternoon. Glenn Lippihan (25) is the leading ball carried in the SWC and Bob Smith (36) will also be having a Homecoming Day as he returns to play in his home town. Ag Fencers Best Tarleton The Aggie Fencing Team opened this year’s competition by trim ming Tarleton State College to the tune of 7-1, 2-1, 2-1, here Sat- urday moming in foil, epee, and sabre respectively. In foil Bob Jones, Aden Magee, and Bob Braslau took top honors, each setting up a 3-D record. Joe Pafford, Willie Matthijezt, and Bill Hegmann edged the Tarletonites 2-1. In the fish division of foil Ramsey and Garner fared to the score of 1-1 and 0-2. In epee Wally Schlather and Aden Magee kept a perfect record of 3-0, 3-0, while Bill Willman was dropped 1-2. Sabre slashing found Charles Hickerson leading the weapon set ting up a 3-0 win. Bob Braslau went in for Truitt Fields after the score was tied to polish off a 2-1 victory. Bill Moses dropped down to a 1-2 to end the match. Directing the meet were Tarle ton coach George Beakley and Ag gie team Co-captain John Gottlob. It was the seven returning letter- men for the Farmers that meant the difference in their first match of the 1951' season. Last year the Aggies took sec ond place in the SWC, yielding to Rice in three-weapon competition; although the Epee team won first in the SWC and fifth in the nation at the Detroit Meet. THE MEETING’S UPSTAIRS What happens to a high-flying enemy bomber when it meets the newest anti-aircraft guided missile shouldn't happen to a low-flying diick. Radar “eyes” and electronic “brains” make sure the meeting takes place. They guide the pilotless missile to within lethal range of the plane, then explode it. This teaming of intricate tracking and com puting devices w r as made possible by teaming of another sort. The electronic control system was developed for Army Ordnance by the Bell Telephone Laboratories and the Western Elec tric Company, close-working research and manufacturing units of the Bell System. It’s just one of the many important military projects being entrusted to the Bell System. i BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM BrijariM*?* TONITE PREVUE—11 P.M. C Warner bro* HlWTIIl# THE.

MUSICALS'- AN SWC Predictions Friday, November 16, 1951 THE BATTALION Page Ags To Win, TCU Has Title Chance By GUS BECKER Battalion Sports Writer A&M travels to Houston to play the surprising Rice Owls tomorrow while TCU goes to Austin for a game with the Texas Longhorns which should decide if the Horned Frogs will be in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. In Dallas the SMU Mustangs take on the Arkansas Razorbacks who have not done too well away from home this year. Baylor play's an intersectional game with the Wake Forest Deacons of the Southern Conference. A&M 28, Rice 20 The balance of power favors the Aggies to take this one even though it will spoil the Owls’ homecoming. Composed lar gely of sophomores the Rice team has surprised everyone this year by being in the title race. The Blue and- Grey squad has dropped only one conference game, but the strongest teams have yet to play them. Rice defeated the Ponies from SMU 28 to 7 and the Arkansas Hogs 6 to 0 which dropping the Texas battle 6 to 14. A&M could scrape up a tie with the Mustangs 14 to 14 and lost the Arkansas game 33 to 21 with a case of fourth quarter jitters. A great passing combination for the Owls is sophomore Dan Drake to the conference’s leading pass receiver Bill HowtOn The Maroon and White pass defense is considerably stronger this year than last and^ should stop the Rice aerial threat fairly well. Glenn Lrppman should continue his scoring w ays while Rambling Robert Smith should break the jinx that has kept him from scoring on Rice during his football career. Bouncing Billy Tidwell should worry the Owls all after noon while Ray Graves or Dick Gardemal will 1 keep the Rice defense loosened up with their passes. The Aggies will take their first win from liice in six years Saturday. Texas 21, TCU 13 Although Dutch Meyer will have three great tailbacks ready for the Steer game, it is unusual for a Southwest Con ference team to go through conference play undefeated. We think Texas is the team that will give the Horned Frogs their first taste of defeat in SWC play Saturday. This will be the most important game of the day because a win would almost cinch the “Froggies” for the SWC title and a Cotton Bowl appearance. TCU has had a week to rest their weary bones and pre pare for the Longhorn contest and time to get Gil Bartosh, Mai Fowler, and Ray McKown ready. Texas has a great running attack with Dick Ochoa, Gil Dawson, Bobby Dillon and Don Barton. Besides the Long horn team will be staging a comeback after last week’s up set by Baylor. Homecoming day at the Forty Acres adds another point in the Steers favor as they have always been hard to beat on homecoming day. The TU ground game should roll over the TCU defense and the Steer forward wall will stop the Horned F,rogs on the ground while the Orange and White secondary will stop the TCU aerial game. A victory on Homecoming day for the TU.
