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.

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

have on the practice field. Never

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.

The ’48 game will go down as
one of the most thrilling games in
this series full of football thrills.
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

penetrate the stout Steer defense.
The national champions of 1939
smothered the Longhorns 20-0 on
Kyle Field for the last A&M vic
tory of" the series.
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.

If candles were your only source of light,
% and this were your last candle, you would
' ||f find little comfort in the glimmer of its dying
light. 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.
