Th Aggies tied with the University of Houston 3-3 as part of A&M’s All Sports Day. Cadet Wrestling Team Pins Longhorns, 26-12 By FRANK N. MANITZAS Battalion Associate Editor Reaching its halfway mark, the A&M spring training program showed definite improvement for Cadet football winning possibil ities concerning next fall. Although the Maroon. and White graduated 19 lettermen which in- Don Ellis UH Netters Drop Ags, 4-2 The University of Houston ten nis team trounced A&M 4-2 during A&M annual All-Sports Day pro- grom. The Cadets started off fast win- niing two singles matches with * Royce Tate beating Earl Caldwell 9-7, 6-0, and Gene Letsos trimming Bob Lovelace, Houston’s top hand, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8. 4 Houston's D. Ligon beat R. G. DeBerry 6-3, 9-7, and Ken Wag- staff whipped A&M’s Tommy West, 7-5, 6-3. Caldwell and Ligon teamed to defeat Tate and Letsos 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. In the other doubles match Wagstaff and Lovelace bested West and DeBerry 6-4, 4-6, 6-0. eluded the starting backfield quar tet of Bob Smith, Glenn Lippman, Dick Gardenia! and Billy Tidwell, Satui-day night’s intrasquad game showed talents as yet unfolded to the conference fields. Perhaps the biggest step for ward of an Aggie eleven over years past is the quarterback sit uation which will be the best in many a season. Graves Experienced Reasons: Ray Graves, an exper ienced man-under; Roy Dollar, capable college transfer who also saw service last year; Joel Smith and Edgar Hennig, a rising star from the ineligible team of last fall (because of transfering from another school.) Most impressive in the past scrimmage was undoubtedly Ellis. Already dubbed by many who have seen him as another “Doaker”, the Aggie quarterback holds a distinct advantage over the other candi dates in the running for the man under slot in the Aggies new split- T offensive attack. Having played last year on the B squad, Ellis carried the ball as the key man in a split-T against the main Aggie team for four weeks and as a wing man during the other weeks of practice. Passing Improved His passing is improving with every workout but his most admir able qualities are his ability to think quickly and breakaway run ning. Playing from both the quarter back and halfback slots this past weekend, the DeQuincey, La. back kept the Maroons in the game with his ball handling and running. Ellis Keeps, Maroons Gain Even when the cohtest was won for his team, he brought the game to new heights with an end around run that was good for 64 yards. On kickoff returns, he averaged 25 yards for two runbacks. He passed for one touchdown and scored another from the nine yard line in bringing his team from a 0-14 deficit to a final 23-20 vic tory. The A&M Wrestling team stomp ed TU’s matmen 26-12 Friday night in DeWare Field House. In the first match of the night the Aggies took the early lead on a forfeit win by Curly Penn over Bill Reese in the 123-pound class. The Cadets first loss came in the 130-pound class when George Laing of A&M was pinned by TU’s Wayne Estes. A&M’s A. Stubbeman and J. Bibb of TU battled to a tie in the 137-pound class. The only tie for the night. In the 147-pound division Rudy Henson pinned J. Robertson in 42 seconds for the quickest match of the evening. Henson came out of his corner in a hurry and before Robertson knew it his shoulders were glued to the mat. For their second forfeit victory Allen Ashley of A&M won over TU’s Pete Nichols. Gay Wins Ralph Gay of A&M decisioned Bob Coughlin of TU in the 167- pound class followed by another Aggie win when Pete Manos won the 117-pound title with a decision over Hank Greenfield, Texas. The Cadet’s only other loss came in the 191-pound division with Leon Scott of A&M losing to Sid Kacir of TU. Delber Davis won the final match of the night over Hank Gil more in the heavyweight.
