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.

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-

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.

tween the two top freshmen teams
of the SWC.
The Brazos Valley Shrine Club
of Bryan and the Ben Hur Tem
ple of Austin are the sponsors of
the annual game.
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.

Freshman Band
Makes Austin
Trip Tomorrow
The Freshman Band will be
the only official corps repre
sentative at the Fish-Short
horn football game Saturday
afternoon in Austin, Lt. 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.

MSC to Display 20
Biblical Paintings
Originals of 20 of the outstand
ing paintings of famous biblical
personalities appearing in the
book, “In Our Image,” will go on
display in the MSC Monday.
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.
