THE BATTALION Thursday, November 29, 1951 Page 4 Coach Shows Team How as"- Aggies Meet Longhorns In 58th Battle Between Schools Head Coach Ray George of A&M shows All-American Bob Smith and All-Southwest Halfback Glenn Lippman the proper way to hold a ball after taking a handoff from the quarterback. Co captain and Center Hugh Meyer (52) and Tackle Jack Little watch. Aggie Graduates (Continued from Page 3) Charlie McDonald A real scrapper, Charlie McDon ald, the regular Aggie defensive halfback this season, is a smart defensive back. . McDonald is the number two safetyman behind L a r y and is a very good punt re turner, A n excep tional pass de fense man, Mc Donald inter- , cepted a pass in the 1949 Turkey Day game and raced fifty yards before he was caught. One of the hardest tacklers on the squad, McDonald is tough as a “boot.” W. T. Rush A consistent player, W. T. Rush is the other number one guard on offense. Rush saw lots of service in ’49 and ’50 on offense and has been »sed on defense when needed. M A fast lineman, Rush came to A&M on his own and won his scholarship by his showing as a freshman. Pictures have shown that Rush is able to take out his man and move downfield ahead of the ball carriers. Angie Saxe An aggressive pass defense man, Augie Saxe has been missed since he broke his arm in the Trinity tilt. Starting . a t the defensive right half slot Saxe was one of the reasons why the Ag gies had such a stout pass defense this , : y| season, r , Saxe was —^ looking very good on of fense before his arm was broken and would have probably been an other ace in the hole for the strong Maroon and White defensive back- field. Bernie Lemmons Unofer the shadow of one of the greatest fullbacks in the nation, Bernie Lemmons has not been used too much. Russ Hudeck The biggest player on the squad, Russ Hudeck, weighing 235 pounds and standing 6 feet five inches tall, hasn’t seen much action this year be cause Sam Moses and Jack Little have played most of the time. Last season, Hudeck played mostly on de fense and is seeking his third varsity letter. Delmer Sikes Dekner Sikes completed 25 passes out of 45 last year and six touchdowns. A good pass er, Sikes can throw long passes a c c u- rately, but has seen limited action this year. H e showed u p exception ally well in | last year’s if spring dri 11 s but did not have a chance this year to display his talent. Sikes was the Aggie No. 1 quarterback through the first four games last season. He is better than average on long aerials. Sikes is majoring in animal hus bandry and plans to go into the ranching business after graduation. ft Gary Anderson Former Thomas Jefferson High School star played regular safety in the first three games last year. Anderson was P” a f° rrner 100- yard and 220- yard dash c h a m pion in high school. He i s five feet 10 inches tall and tips the scales at 10 5. Despite his size Ander son is one of the more ag gressive players. The 21-year-old senior is one of the fastest men on the team and is also on the A&M track team. Anderson is majoring in busi ness administration and the young er brother of a former Aggie ath lete, Jennings Anderson. Gary al so has a younger brother, Warren, who is a freshman this year. He has one varsity letter to his credit. —Beat TU— George Strict (Continued from Page 2) He the ball 29 v times last sea son and gained 143 yards ; without losing | a foot. jm ' ] A s t raight ^ I ahead ballcar- |<£J 1 / rier, Lemmons M | i runs hard with F / j little evasive action.

Facing him in the Bear line were George Musso, six-foot-six and 265 pounds, and Dick Plasman, six-five carried an< ^ pounds. “Facing that pile of beef, I couldn’t see the Chicago backs—just had to feel for ’em,” says Geoi’ge. Strict Disciplinarian A strict disciplinarian on the football field, he insists on work and lots of it. The fact that he’s in there working with them in spires his players to put all they have on the practice field.

Texas and TCU Play To Old, Old Rivalry Texas and TCU have met each other 26 times in Southwest Con ference football competition. Tex as has 13 wins while TCU has 12 victories to show for its efforts. The other was a scoreless dead lock, played in 1927. In their all- time rivalry that dates back to 1897, Texas leads in victories, 24 to 12. End Williams Is Texas’ All-American Candidate Texas has had four all-America ends in the past ten seasons and prospects are good that a fifth— Senior Paul Williams of Lufkin— might join the list this season. Other wingmen gaining the covet ed honor at Texas were Malcolm Kutner (1941), Joe Parker (1942), Hub Bechtol (1944-45-46) and Don Menasco (1950). By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Writer Today on the tradition-shrouded confines of Kyle Field the Maroon and White of A&M and the Orange and White of the University of Texas will play the 58th game of their long and bitter football ri valry. For the 19 Seniors suiting out for the last time, nothing could be a sweeter graduation gift than a victory over the Longhorns, for this game has become through the years the heart and soul, of every Aggie gridiron campaign. Not since the great national championship days of 1939 have the Aggies been victorious, the Steers showing an all time record of 37 wins in the preceding 57 contests. Five times these bitter rivals have battled to draws. The Ca dets have yet to wip a game in Memorial Stadium. They have won only two games in Austin, in 1922 and 1909. 11th Straight Loss Last year the Ags dropped their 11th straight Turkey Day game, to a team rated No. 2 in the nation. Ben. Tompkins passed for one touchdown, set up another, kicked a field goal and two PATs to pace the Steers to a 17-0 victory before 65,549. Texas won 42-14 in 1949 in a game marred by numerous penal ties, and which nearly reached the fighting stage when Bob Smith was knocked cold by Ray Stone near the end of the first half.

Texas pushed the underdog Aggies all over the field in the first half and led 7-0. The Cadets roared back to tie it up. Late in the fourth quarter the Steers again went ahead, 14-7. The Aggies took the kickoff and, with 3:10 left in the game, Buryi Baty faded back and heaved the ball 50 yards in the air. Charley Wright gathered it in after it was tipped by two TU players and sped the remaining 22 yards unhindered. With Aggies all over the world holding their breaths, Herb Turley kicked the goal and the Aggies had one of their sweetest moral victories of A&M football history. Bitter Upset In ’40 One of the bitterest football pills was'swallowed by Aggie sup porters in 1940 when the Cadets, unbeaten in 19 straight games, bowed 7-0 at Austin as All-Amer ican John Kimbrough could not Prompt Radio Service —Call— Sosolik’s Radio Service 712 S.

Former coaches Matty Bell and C. B. Moran enjoyed the most suc cess against the Longhoms, Bell’s teams winning two and tying one in his five years at A&M, and Moran’s teams winning three in a row in his six years. Aggies Have 7/ 2 Crowns One of the few teams to hold an edge over A&M in the all-time game series, Texas is also the Aggies’ challenger for the most SWC titles. The Aggies have won seven championships and tied for one. Texas has won seven.

When the candle burns low, darkness is f too near. I Light has for centuries been a symbol of man’s spiritual resources. But in the lives of some of us the candle is burning dangerously low . . . One bright Sunday—a month, or a year, or a decade ago—we felt sure of unlimited spiritual resources. Today we pause and wonder. In this frightening world faith flickers, and the rays of hope don’t al ways penetrate the walls of despair. The candle need not go out! With an urgency matching the seriousness of our lifetime, the Church calls us to replenish the Light of our lives. A new candle . . . deeper faith . . , braver courage ... brighter hope ... these await us each Sunday in Church. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Book Chapter Verses Sunday... Proverbs 20 18-30 Monday,.. . Matthew 25 1-13 Tuesday... . Psalms 141 1-10 Wednesday .
