Tuesday, September 23, 1952 THE BATTALION Page 3 Graves Sparks Aggies To Beat Cougars 21-13 By ED HOLDER Sports Editor .R^y. Graves tied the bow on the surpx-ise package to the University of Houston Cougax-s Satux-day A night. Inside the package was a fix*ed- up team of Aggies who knew who the game belonged to from the wox-d go. Gx’aves ran wild. He displayed brilliant quaxteibacking to keep the Cougax-s guessing. He cax-ried the ball, passed it, and handed it off on smoothly clicking ground plays. He leads the confex-ence in total yax-ds gain ed with 197. Raymoxxd Haas and Don Ellis, V Aggie halfbacks, had their own little surpx-ises. Haas hit off tackles and ax-ound exxds 64 yax-ds and pulled down passes for some more gain. Ellis set himself up as a double threat when he crossed the line for one touchdown and passed for another. Hooper Greatly Impx-oved Big Dax-row Hooper showed great improvement over last year as he snagged 3 passes for 31 yards and one touchdown. The Olympic star was pi - aised by Coach Ray George for his “x-e- tux-ning to A&M as if he had been working ixx west Texas all summer rather than making a name for himself at Helsinki.” All-America Jack Little put in his usual gx-eat game at tackle. *“Hex-e’s one boy who knows his job, does it well, and never com plains about anything,” said George. * Fullbacks Pound Line Fullbacks Connie Magoux-ik and Don Kachtik pounded the center of the line for the all-important first downs. Both these men buck ed the vex-y heax-t of the highly rated big Cougar line, and kept fans wondex-ing how. Guax-ds Sid Theriot and Max-vin Tate can take the credit for the holes in the center of the U of H . forwax-d wall. These inexperienced sophomores were pitted against hardened vet erans who outweighed the small guax-ds almost 30 pounds per man. Befox-e the game ended, the huge Cougar veterans were wondex-ing where the hurx-icane came fx-om. Ends Darrow Hooper and Eric Miller weren’t satisfied with mere ly catching passes for yard after *yard, they had to harrass the giant U of H tackles by blocking them out of play time after time. Hooper also converted three times ■^in thx-ee tries for 1.000 per cent. Ellis Passes Ellis, on a pitch-out fx-om Gx-aves, passed to Hooper for eight yards into the end zone to give the Aggies their fix-st tally. Ellis cx-ossed over fx-om 11 yax-ds out for the second score after Graves set things xxp with a pass, and the bxilliant quartex-back cax-- yied the ball acx-oss himself for the last touchdown.

Fullback Paul Cax-r did the gx-ound wox-k fox* the Cougax-s, and px-oved to be as good as px-e-game publicity. He x-olled up 67 of the 135 yards made by his team on the ground. U of H Couldn’t Hold The big U of H line was able to hold only at the tackle slots. The center of the line gave in time after time with Aggies Sid Thei-iot and Marvin Tate taking the credit. Carr made the fix-st Cougar scox-e from one foot out. His smash topped an 80-yax-d dxive in the thix-d quax-ter. S. M. Meeks, tiny halfback, snatched a 27 yax-d thx-ow from Clattex-buck in the same period for the second and last U of H touchdown. Aggies Threaten Three times during the game the Aggies wex-e virtually knocking at the Cougar door, but couldn’t cx-oss the big double stx-ipe. Haas of the Aggies pulled a pass down just across the end zone about six feet. This was called back just as the would-be-touch- down jaunt of Ellis was x-etux*ned because of an illegal receiver downfield. Ellis fumbled the ball once just two yards away fx*om the goal when three Cougar defensive men slammed him to the ground. As the game ended the Max-oon and White was once more thx-eat- ening. The Aggies lined up over the ball oxx the eight yaxd line, but time x-an out before the ball could be snapped. • Game at a Glance A&M Houston 20 Fix-st Downs 19 255 ....Yaxds Gained Rushing. .. 135 125 ....Yax-ds Gained Passing.... 209 Passes Completed 10 of 15 13.of 29 2 Passes Intex-cepted By 0 1 ...
