Consolidated Beats Bremond in By-District Thriller, 14-13 Hearne, (Spl)—A&M Consolida- <ted High School brought home the honors here tonight as they came from behind in the last minutes of play to defeat Bremond, 14-13, and stand as undisputed champs of dis tricts 24-B and 23-B. Bremond started the scoring off in the first period, and Consolida ted’s Tigers flew back into the fight to tie things up in the second period. It was Bremond out in front again with a score in the third quarter, but not for long, for an inspired Tiger eleven fought back 'with all its might to edge past the powerful Bremond in the last min utes of the game. Bremond Takes Over Bremond took charge of things in the first quarter on the Tiger 11 yard line where Johnston kicked Ihe ball out of bounds on a fourth down punt. Chris Mocek hit the line for 9 yards, and the Bremond attack tontinued to shine as Milton Tro- jacek powered through for a first ilown. Lightning Jerry ueighton took the kickoff for Consolidated and raced and twisted his way back up p field from his own 5 yard line to the Bremond 15. With only seconds gone in the second period, however, Bremond recovered a fumble on their own' 7 yard stripe and put an end to Con solidated's hopes for scoring their first penetration. The kick went out of bounds on their own 42 yard line, and the Ti gers decided to give Freddie An derson a workout. Anderson cocked his arm and sent a pass down field into the waiting arms of Willie Arnold. Klipple climaxed the drive by powering over for the score and Johnston converted to tie things up, 7-7. Willie Arnold then fought back in the fourth quarter with a 20 yard jaunt, and went over for the tying score on the next play. Johnston stepped back to kick as the crowd of 2,500 fans went wild, and he converted with a goal split ting kick to put the Tigers out in front, 14-13, with only three min utes remaining to play. Kyle Field Scene Changes “As ye sow, so shall ye reap! This Biblical philosophy was borne out when football managers Larry McCelvery and Jerry An derson discovered the letters TU, spelled out in what seemed to be oats, on Kyle Field yesterday af ternoon. The tables have been turned on the Aggie trick of sowing oppon ents’ gridirons with grain to spell out “A&M” and “GIG ’EM.” Stretching from the 15-yard line at the north end of the stadium to the 15-yard line at the south end, the letters are as wide as the field boundary and planted to be read from the press box side of the stands. From the height of the seedlings, it would appear they were planted while the Cadet Corps was in Hous ton for the Rice game last week- en. The semi-dry turf on Kyle Field, makes the large letters stand out like chalk on a blackboard. Although the vertical line on the “T” is not very clear yet, it should be nice and thick by the time the Aggies play the TU Long horns on the field Thursday. From the 40 to the 15 at the south end of the field, the “U” is very distinct and much more noticeable than the “T”. Last year, the Aggies planted A&M on Memorial Stadium’s grass and then proceeded to lose the football game. The TU on Kyle Field could mean the same thing for the Longhorns. Aggie Fish, Shorthorns Clash in Austin Benefit By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Writer The Aggie Freshmen and the Shorthorns of TU meet tomorrow in Memorial Stadium in a battle between two of the biggest rivals in the SWC. But the rivaly will be for a good cause because the proceeds from the box office go to the Shrine’s crippled children’s clinic at Breckenridge Hospital in Aus tin. A record crowd of near 20,000 is expected to view the clash be- Lihrary Sets Holiday Hours The Library’s holiday sche dule was announced today by M. V.

Blood Mobile Will Return For Donations Final arrangements for the blood mobile from the South east Red Cross Blood Center to make a second visit to the campus Tuesday were an nounced by the executive board of the Bryan Red Cross chapter at a recent meeting. When the blood mobile returns to the campus Tuesday it will have facilities to take care of 105 don ors. The need for the enlarged facilities resulted from the unit’s first visit when only 66 students could be handled. Bryan Air Force Base officials have requested that the blood mo bile be sent to the base in order that the men stationed there could give blood donations for troops in Korea. Chairman W. L. Penberthy is making arrangements for the unit’s visit to the air base and the date will be announced as soon as word is received from Beaumont. The mobile unit will return to Bryan Dec. 13 and 14, and the Bryan Junior Chamber of Com merce has requested that its mem bers be allowed to be the first to give blood donations, Roderick M. McCalley, first aid and water safety field representa tive from the Midwestern Area of fice of the American Red Cross in St. Louis, arrived in Bryan yester day for consultations with the local chapter.

Last year the Fish of A&M bowed to the Shorthorns 46-6, while the season before in 1949, the Maroon and White came out on top 13-0. The 1949 tilt was played in Mem orial Stadium and marked the first time in the two team’s series that the Cadet freshmen defeated the Shorthorns in Austin. Strong Fish Backfield Taking the offense in the back- field for the Cadet Freshmen will be one of the strongest groups of backs ever to represent a Fish team in the SWC. Ed Ka<;htik leads the powerhouse backs in yards gained rushing. He has rolled up 183 yards on 16 carries. The 6 foot 175 pound charger from Rio Hondo has crossed the goal four times for 24 points from his halfback position. Self Other alfback James Self, little all-state scat- back from Wichita Falls, holds down the other halfback spot. His greatest day was probably against the Owlets in Houston last week. Self has carried the ball 26 times this season and has racked up 171 yards. He also rates well in the touchdown department, hav ing crossed the double stripe twice to place second in team scoring. Then there are two exceptions on the team to the old rule, “big and slow.” Big and Fast Virgil Patton and Gerald San dusky, both tipping the scales at 200 potmds, are two of the fast est boys on the Fish lineup. Patton has totaled 154 yards on the 30 times he has carried. He has scored two touchdowns, and has kicked five times for an aver age of 33.2 yards. Sandusky has bulldozed the line for 116 yards on his 29 carries, and has punted 12 times for an average of 39.2. At end position, Bernie Sinclair has displayed some of the great est promise seen in SWC fresh man football this season. His record shows 172 yards gained on passes caught, and one of these he 1’eceived was run for a touchdown.

Col. E. V. Adams, director, said yes terday. Colonel Adams said the Fish Band would be the only represen tative, because of the amount of work that has to be done toward the completion of the bonfire. The Band will leave Saturday morning by bus and will return to the campus the same afternoon or night. Band members will be here Sunday to work on the bon fire. Col Adams made it clear that band freshmen would not have a free weekend, as they usually do after a football game. He also said the Freshman Band would not drill on the field at half time Saturday, as they did last year on Kyle Field. However, they will play from the stands. By HERB O’CONNELL Battalion Staff Writer Three rings of guard fires dot ted the main drill field last night as the initial guard for the 1951 bonfire was posted. Small groups of well briefed and well-ar,med Aggies stood huddled around the fires with instructions to let nobody penetrate the inner ring of fires. Until Wednesday Begun at 7 p. m. Thursday, guard duty will continue until the bonfire is ignited Wednesday at 8 p. m. Each outfit will be assigned a four hour tour of duty during which it will guard a designated sector. The center pole also began to take the shape of a bonfire yester day as tugging 50-man rope gangs hoisted the truckloads of large timbers into place. Scheduled for Tuesday, the erec tion of the center pole was delay ed some 24 hours when the drill crews auger pierced a misplaced utility line in the, center of the drill field. Another hole was drill ed Wednesday morning. First Load of Wood The first load of wood was hauled Tuesday afternoon. “I have contacted 12 more trucks which will begin hauling Thursday after noon,” Stephens transportation committee chairman said today. “These trucks were donated by merchants of College Station and Bryan,” Chico Mason, chairman of the wood gathering committee issued a plea today for more equipment. “We are very short on equipment,” Mason said. “Eleven axes and one saw won’t accommodate 4,000 Ag gies.” He is having each outfit contribute an axe to the cause. A Army Security Agency, A Chemical, and B Transportation posted the initial guards. Two of the companies were posted in the area immediately surrounding the bonfire, while one outfit guarded the Kyle Field entrance. “Guard duty this year will serve two purposes, according to Lew Jobe, head yell yeader. “It will serve as a guard for the bonfire and also prevent outsiders from ‘painting up’ the campus.” Guards are being posted around the bonfire and at the Kyle Field entrance tonight. Other entrances to the campus will be guarded be ginning Saturday at 7 p. m. Guard Roster for Bonfire Following is the weekend guard schedule taken from the guard roster prepared by Bobby Dunn, bonfire roster chairman. Area 1, bonfire; Area 2, the four entrances to the North Gate; Area 3, the Administration Building, East Gate, and the entrance to the new area; Area 4, the South Gate entrances; Area 5, the Aca demic Building.

Sponsored by the MSC Art Gal lery Committee, the Exhibition is being obtained through special ar rangement with Houston Harte, author of the book and owner of the complete collection of 32 paint ings. The paintings will be on dis play through Dec. 10. Guy Rowe, a Time cover artist before being commissioned to do the paintings in 1945, spent al most four years at the task. Master of Composition Before he began this work the artist was noted for his mastery of composition and manipulation of color, and since publication of the book has received nationwide ac claim. AH Horse Barn Is Completed The Horse Division of the ani mal husbandry department has just completed occupation of the new Horse Barns, The new barns, located across the railroad tracks on the west side of the campus consist of a stallion barn and main barn. The stallion barn is capable of housing four stallions while the main barn has ten stalls, there are six large ex ercise pens in addition to two small pastures. The office is located in the main barn. Adjacent to it is a small lab oratory which will be used for re productive studies in large ani mals. There is a large area for classwork which includes stanch ions to tie animals and a black board for illustrative purposes. In older that someone be at the bams at all time, quarters are provided in the main barn for two student laborers. Outstanding dairy husbandry students receive the Herman F. Keep awards. Dr. Walker I. Rupel, head of the dairy department presents James Hardaway with a $50 check for second place in the sophomore class. Looking on (left to right) are Kenneth Reynolds, freshman winner; Bruce McDaniel, second place senior winner; Howard Kruse, winner in the senior division; and Alton Pyburn, who took second place in the junior group. Not shown is Gene Logan, winner of the junior group. Mrs. Ralph Terry, advisor and instructor of the Art Gallery group, says the paintings are so strong and forceful they are far more compelling than most biblical illustrations. An invitation to church groups and school children to see the paintings has been extended by Mrs. Terry and Charles Stiefel, Art Gallery Chairman. “We feel that the paintings are well worth their seeing and hope to have large groups of visitors,” Mrs. Terry said. Harte May Visit Arrangements are not final, but Center officials hope to arrange a visit by anther Harte sometime during the exhibition. Copies of “In Our Image” will be on sale during the exhibition. Harte, who conceived the idea for the book, is publisher of the San Angelo Standard Times and Evening Standard, and co-owner of the Harte-Hanks newspaper chain. Deciding that people would read the Bible more if its stories were made simpler and easier to read, Harte consulted with leading min isters in the''nation; to decide just which Bible stories should be pre sented. After selecting Artist Rowe to do the paintings, Harte set to work editing and simplifying the best known stories of the Old Test ament. Book Published In 1949 Four years later Harte’s and Rowe’s work was completed and the book was published in 1949. During the four year period, Rowe spent his entire working time doing research and study of the Bible characters he was to portray. “It was two years,” says Rowe, “from my first conception of Isa iah to the finished work, from my first reading of his wo-rds to my* final feeling of having realized a spiritual likeness. The result is Isaiah perhaps it is I posing j as him. It is some part of him, | though, passing through me and j cominng out a picture.” Harte seldom allows the paint ings to be exhibited outside of San Angelo. A special committee from the MSC will ge to San Angelo this week to bring the praintings here.
