Tuesday, September 16, 1952 THE BATTALION - Page 3 Consolidated Wins Opener For Good Start A&M Consolidated made a good start in the 1952 football season as they defeated the Madison- ville Mustangs 26-6 Friday night on Tiger Field. The Tiger aerial game was the big difference between the two teams as they completed 7 out of 10 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns. ' Madisonville couldn’t seem to hold the ball as they fumbled three times compared to the Tigers one miscue. Taking a six to nothing lead in the first period on a one yard plunge by back David Bonnen, the Tigers scored in every quarter and were never in difficulty. Anderson to Hickman Early in the second quarter a 35 yard pass play from quarterback Fred Anderson to Pete Hickman was good for the second Tiger score. The try for point by Carter was good to put Consolidated on top 13-0 at the half. An 11 yard pass from Anderson to Bobby Jackson was the com- binatioi'i for the third Tiger coun- ^yy'^i-riy in the third period. Dickenson, one of the Mustangs top backs broke loose in the third quarter and scampered 57 yards for the only Madisonville score. Arnold went around end in the fourth quarter to score the final Tiger TD. Carter’s kick was good to end the scoring with the Tigers way ahed 26-6.

New Intramural Set-Up Has Three Divisions Three separate divisions will compose the A&M intramural pro gram this year, according to Bar ney Welch, intramural director. Last year separate athletic pro grams were used for upperclass men and freshmen. Two programs will be used for the upperclassmen this year while the freshmen will continue with their same plan. “The increase in the size of military units has made the split ting of the upperclassmen pro gram a necessity,” Welch said. “Sophomores will c o m p e #e against each other in one phase of the upperclassman program, with juniors and seniors combining to form the other division.” Competition for the All-Sport Championship Banner by individ ual units will be continued, Welch added. “Both scores of the upper classmen division will be used in determining the winner of the flag.” Another new development in the intramural program will be the Aggie Fencers Win National Honors; Gottlob Sets Record to Help Cop SWC The 1951-52 A&M Fencing Team took honors ranging from the SWC championship to national honors. For two years the Aggies have tried to defeat Rice’s Fencing ^Dayton In Charge Of All Athletes’ Condition Bill (Doc) Dayton, as any of the Aggie athletes will tell you, is one of the greatest trainers in the country.

Always Friendly With all the responsibility, he still has a ready smile and friendly greeting for everyone. Dayton was named trainer at A&M on August 1, 1949, and since then has established a remarkable record of keeping Aggie athletes “ready to play.” And despite this record, Dayton is one of the most modest men one ever meets. He served two years as trainer at Tulane before coming here, and earlier he was trainer at the Uni versity of Miami from 1938 to 1942 and again in 1945, 1946, and part of 1947. Served in Navy Dayton served in the Navy and was at Georgia Pre - Flight in Athens, Ga. for thine years. Born in New York City, he was graduated from the Swedish In stitute of Physio-Therapy in 1937, and in the 1938 he graduated from the Eastem School of Physio-The rapy. He is married and has a ten-year-old daughter. team, and not till this, the third year of hard work and determina tion, did the Maroon and White succeed. Not only did they defeat Rice, but they made a clean sweep of all the fencing competition this year. The Cadets won over Rice and Texas by a score of 40-38-30. The Fencing Team, one of the outstanding minor sports, has been active in the Amateur Fencers League of America Competition all year. The squad is also an active member of the Gulf Coast Division AFLA, which includes teams from several Texas cities and schools. In addition to winning the con ference, the team came out SWC Team Foil Champions. Gottlob Sets Record John Gottlob, team captain, fol lowed suit by placing first in each of the three weapons in individual competition. Gottlob was the first in the history of the SWC to win all three places. As a result, he was asked to enter the Olympic Tryouts, but was forced to refuse because of sickness in his family. . The Epee team went to the Na tionals in Detroit, Mich., in June. They placed fifth in the national competition. Defeat New York Aggie fencers were the only team to beat the squad from New York, the defending champions and winning team. The A&M team also won both the AFLA Sectional and Divisional Foil Team Championships, and the Sectional and Divisional Sabre Team Championships. Individual awards and cham pionships won by members of the team are too numerous to men tion, but it might be added that they brought home more than 50 per cent of the individual honors during the AFLA 1951-52 fencing season. Freshman Program Increased The freshman fencing program has greatly increased. Ten mem bers composed the fish squad, and they won several individual hon ors in the AFLA competition. This year’s Freshman squad hopes to have a schedule of meets. September to May The Aggie Fencers worked out the past year from September to May, the complete school year, from 5 p.m. till 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Lt. Col. Frank S. Vaden, team representative, highly praised the efforts and re sulting accomplishment of the team. According to the current SWC Athletic Requirements, the follow ing members of the Varsity Fenc ing Team have been recommended for major letters as they are mem bers of the SWC Championship squad.

The first meeting of athletic of ficers will be at 5 p. m. Thurs day in Room 301, Goodwin Hall. “It is important that all athletic officers or their representatives of both military and civilian stu dents be present,” Welch said. Length of time in school will determine on which team a stu dent will play, and in no instances will a man be allowed to deviate from the two teams. In sports such as wrestling, box ing, swimming and track, only one team will represent the unit, and can be composed of any member of that unit. A and B Teams The upperclassmen “A” teams, composed of juniors and seniors, will begin the intramural season with basketball and tennis, while the sophomores, making up the “B” teams will start off playing football and horseshoes. Intramural Fall Calendar Thursday, Sept. 18—Meeting in room 301 Goodwin Hall at 5 p. m. of all Athletic Officers and Vet Bob Easley Signs Up With Aggies Bob Easley has enrolled in A&M on an athletic scholarship. Victim of one of the strangest SWC rulings, fullback Easley was given his release last week from Baylor where he spent his fresh man year. Baylor alumni supposedly enter tained young Easley in a lavish manner shortly after he graduated from Reagan Houston, where he set a record as one of the state’s greatest high school stars. The SWC Ruling sentenced Eas ley to only two years of football if he played for Baylor. He said he wanted to play three years, so he asked Bear Coach George Sauer for his release. team managers from Military units.
