Senior Girls Plan
New Year’s Dance
Senior girls from Stephen F.
Austin High School, Bryan, and
A&M Consolidated High School in
College Station will give their an
nual New Year’s Eve Dance in the
MSC Ballroom Monday night,
Anyone may attend, according to
Jacquelyn Scott, in charge of ar
rangements. The dance will start
at 8 p.m. and last until 1 a.m.
The dance is formal, and there is
no admission charge.
On wet or icy pavement, pump
the brake pedal gently but firmly.
Jamming the brakes on and hold
ing them on contributes to skid
ding on slippery roads.
Excessive speed contributed to
20 per cent of urban highway fatal
ities last year and 28 per cent of
rural fatalities.

Soccer Team Undefeated
(Continued from Page 1)
call the game futbol. It is quite
popular and several countries have
professional teams.
While no member of our team
has ever actually played on pro
fessional teams all have played for
high school teams and several have
played for teams that might com
pare to our semi - pro baseball
teams.
The Aggies are captained by
John Fett of Porto Alegre, Bra
zil, who plays the center half pos
ition.
There is no set starting team.
Substitution is worked on sort of
a rotation basis to keep fresh play
ers in the game.
Goalkeepers Guillermo Oritz of
Merida, Mexico is the only member
of the team who may wear knee
pads, though any of the others
may wear shin guards if they like.
The goalie is also the only man
who can catch the ball in his hands.
It is his job to keep the ball from
going into the goal the best way he
can.
May Use Heads
Backs and the rest of the players
may use any part of their bodies
to control the ball except their
arms from the shoulders down.
Backs on the Aggie team are
Julian Domingues from Venezuela;
Carlos Molina from Managua, Nic
aragua; and Jose Barragan from
Lima, Peru.
A good back must have, to pari
aphrase on the baseball term good
arm, a good leg to kick the ball
far down field away from his own
goal, but the kick must not be just
a shot in the dark, it should be a
good pass to one of his team mates.
Five Aggies alternate at the
three half positions:
John Fett, the captain from
Porto Alegre, Brazil; Jorge Ducos
from Buenos Aires, Argentina;
Mario Sol from San Salvador;
Jorge Artecona from Paraguay,
and Bill Cunningham from Brazil.
Dual Functions
Half is the most responsible pos
ition on the team. They must help
their forwards on offense and meet
the other team and intercept its
passes when on the defense.
Only five can play in the for
ward wall for the Aggies, but their
are eight men vicing for the posi
tion. They are: Juan Letts from
Lima, Peru; Fredrico Uranga also
from Lima; Charro Cardenas from
Mexico City; Julio Penedo from
Guatemala; Ernest Pavon from
Colombia; Papacu Arizmendi from
Venezuela; Armando Hidalgo from
Costa Rica; and Blocker from Bra
zil.
There are three distinct types
of play in the forward wall. It is
the job of the wings to dribble the
ball down the side of the field and
pass it high in front of the op
ponents goal. The center forward
must be able to control the ball
well and hit it hard with his head.
The high pass from the wing is to
set him up, and it is his responsi
bility to store or to pass the ball
to the man who is in the best pos
ition.
Dribble the Ball
The interiores help the defense
and join the offense as fast as
they can when the ball changes
hands. They must be adept at
dribbling for it is thmr duty to
carry the ball down the center.
To clear up a point, dribbling
in soccer is not what we are used to
in basketball. In soccer it is a
series of kicks by which the ball is
controlled and brought clown the
field.
For an organization of this size
there must be a manager. Rafael
Nunez from Venezuela handles
these duties for the team and also
arranges all the games.
At present only one game is in
the offing, and it is the TU game
which was postponed earlier in the
year.
Tidwell Stars
In Miami Game
By FRANK SCOTT
Battalion Staff Writer
Billy Tidwell, star Aggie Halfback, added another bril
liant performance to his college football career in the North-
South football Classic, Dec. 25 at Miami, Fla. Playing at an
offensive halfback slot for the South, Tidwell also played
at a defensive safety post for one of the first times this sea-
s°n. (
Playing before a crowd of 39,955 cheering fans, Tidwell
set up the first Rebel touchdown with a completed pass and
run play from the arm of Billy Wade of Vanderbilt that
carried for 41 yards and a first down on the Northern 14-
yard line. Tidwell also excelled on defense batting down
many Northern passes thrown by Colorado College’s Bobby
Blaik before the aerials could reach their intended receivers.
The Rebels went on to defeat the North 35-7 in one of
the most lop-sided victories in the series. Tidwell will also
play in the North-South Senior Bowl game in Mobile, Ala
bama, Jan. 5. The Senior Bowl game is scheduled to be aired
on a nation-wide radio hook-up.

A cracked vertebra sustained in his last college game
will keep Bob Smith out of the East-West football game Dec.
29 in San Francisco. The injury, which probably was received
in the A&M-Texas game, was disclosed by X-rays taken after
Smith had arrived in California to train for the Shrine Clas
sic. Smith’s loss was a jolt to the West. He had been count
ed upon for considerable defensive duty.
The other A&M representative in the East-West clash,
Glenn ’Lippman, has pleased the Western coaches with his
vicious blocking and tackling in pre-game practice. Lipp
man is slated to play at a halfback post for the West, but
he may be moved to fullback to take over Smith’s vacant pos
ition.
Bob Goode, ex-Aggie fullback, wound up in the No. 2
spot in rushing in the National Professional Football League,
gaining 951 yards for the Washington Redskins. This was
just 14 yards less than Tulane’s Eddie Price made for the
Giants, best performance in the league.
