THE BATTALION
Page 3
Around the Conference . • .
Aggies Over
Cowboys by 3
By ED HOLDER
Sports Editor
Maroon and White again! This time by
three points.
The toe of Darrow Hooper will make this
game.
The Aggies have had a chance to look
over the Conger game and take count of their
mistakes. They shouldn’t make as many this
time.
And here is something you can put your
money on. If the Aggies play like they did
against the U of H, and the Cowpokes play
like they did against Arkansas, we’ll chalk
up another before Saturday night is over in
the Cotton Bowl.
Ray Graves will lead the farmers again, but keep an eye
on the right arm of Don Ellis. This little speedster can not
only make like an eel, hd can throw from that left halfback
spot.
Fullback Magouirk ♦-
Holder
And the big fullback Connie Ma- l 0 °k s he has something this
f ' v ’* s v vritHik is very likely to show some- year. And when you hear ths
one his heels this time. All Ma-
gouirk needed was a start, and he
got that last week in Houston. Don
Kachtik will also see some action
at fullback. This sophomore is
showing great promise, and can
nearly always be counted on for a
few yards.
Raymond Haas will run right
halfback, and you can look for
those left end sweeps to be deadly
all night. This boy is fast, and
is taking advantage of his fii'st
year as a starter. Playing behind
boys like Glenn Lippman and Billy
Tidwell got tiresome, but now
watch him go.
Arkansas 20-U of H 19
The Cougars will show a great
^ deal of improvement over last
week’s game with the Aggies.
They found out during the later
part of the game, when it was
too late, that they had a very
effective spread formation.
The huge Razorback line had
too many holes in it against Ok
lahoma A&M last week, and their
defensive backfield leaked like a
bottomless water bucket.
Unless they have filled some
of the holes, and patched that
can, Clatterbuck will pass them
wild and Carr will add the finish
ing insult . . . plowing up their
giant line.
Rice 27-Texas Tech 13
The Owls unleash their possible
SWC championship team this week
end. Tech is strong in their league,
but this time they are too far out
classed.
g After Iasi year’s contest with
Rice, the Aggies looked like they
had made an inspection of a sau
sage making plant, as the guinea
pigs. And with those men back
^ again, this is one team which will
be hard for anyone to beat. The
Red Raiders can’t do it. They lost
loo much last year, and even then
(hey would have been outclassed.
SMU 19-Duke 7
Another SWC power will un
wind on an out-of-state school.
The sophomores of SMU look
like they will be very much in
the race.
Coach Rusty Russell said it
from Russell, watch out for the
worst . . . for the opposition
that is.
Jerrj r Norton and Benton Mus-
slewhite look like the big guns
for SMU. Musslewhite was the
boy last year who set a record
of 532 yards on 36 passes caught.
That’s plenty potent, and with
last season’s experience and a
more well-rounded ball club back
ing him . . . Look out Duke!
Here comes the best Mustang
team since the days of their
championship teams of 1947 and
1948‘
Texas 28-North Carolina 14
The Texas Longhorns rolled over
LSU last week like a dust storm
over west Texas.
It won’t be quite as easy this
time, but with the improved back-
field over last week’s first game,
they will play better ball. Coach
Ud Price needed a quarterback for
his Longhorn team, and he needed
one in a bad way.
It looks like Price has found
the passing quarterback he needed.
Jones is a lettermah, and was
challenged for the spot by Bunny
Andrews. But with his perform
ance against the Louisiana club, it
looks like Jones has the edge. Not
only that but he will be a big aid
to an already powerful Longhorn
offense.
TCU 7-UCLA 19
Coach Dutch Meyer is taking
it easy and coasting along with
his crafty eyes set on the con
ference.
He doesn’t seem to worry about
the non-conference tilts, so the
Bruins shouljd have a field day
with Don Moomaw running wild.
He is a two year All-America
tackle, and will give the TCU
backs a fit. Meyer knows this
and you can bet he won’t risk
an injury trying to win the game.
They might be coasting along
now, but the Frogs will open up
in their first conference game.
Till then you won’t see much.
But with Meyer running his old
plays and playing a conservative
game, UCLA should have a good
day without much trouble.
Field Goal Over the Red River
Cartoon by McKonkle
Team Says CHS Should
Have Best Squad Ever
Dan Williams, offensive left
tackle for A&M Consolidated High
School says, “This is our year.
We’ve got the material now more
than ever before.”
Williams has been on the var
sity squad for the past two years.
He played guard for two seasons
and has just switched to tackle.
“I believe this is one of the best
teams Consolidated has ever had,”
said Williams.
“Pinky” Cooner, offensive cen
ter and substitute defensive guard,
was also one of Coach Chafin's
best players in last week’s game
against lola. Cooner said tonight’s
game against Navasota could turn
out either way if the Tigers don’t
hustle.
David Bonnen, Tiger fullback,
is high scorer for District 24-B
Aggies, Texas Picked to Win
If The Battalion’s new sure-fire
system for picking the Southwest
Conference winners is as accurate
this week as it is supposed to be,
the SWC will have a disappointing
weekend.
Out of the six SWC teams play
ing, only two are picked to win
with one tie and three losses.
The Battalions new system has
been perfected to the point that
it will give 60 percent right pre
dictions.
In the SWC, 60 percent is almost
impossible as the underdogs usual
ly come up with an upset except
when they are expected to.
Although the score given by the
system may not be exact, the
point spi’ead will be close.
Rice and SMU will be playing
their first game of the week-old
Kelly Set Record
For Longest Run
“ Choc” Kelly, ’10, Indian back-
field star at Texas A&M made
what is probably the record run in
Aggie football history, if not in
the nation’s history of football.
In the Aggie-LSU game of
1907, “Choc” took the ball on his
own 45-yard line near the left side
and then, to avoid a tackier, he
shifted and darted to the left side
and. ran directly across the field
to, the right side line, there he
met more tacklers, so he reversed
and again ran to the left side,
meanwhile losing a few yards.
When he reached the left side
lines for the second time, he was
forced back more to avoid being
thrown and again rani to ,the
right side line.
He sidestepped another tackier
and ran toward the left side again,
but when he reached the point
where the ball had been put in
play, he darted down through the
center of the field to score a touch
down that was a deciding factor
in the victory.
Computing the width of the field
as 160 feet (approximately) 50
yards, he crossed the width four
times for a total of 200 yards,
which added to the 45 yards that
he advanced the ball, game him
a total run of 245 yai'ds.
In crossing and recrossing the
field he lost about ten yards. If
that yardage is included, he cov
ered approximately 255 yards.

season and may upset the system
as it has nothing to work on.
With the exception of the TCU
and Texas games, the Dallas
Morning News is in disagreement
with the system.
Last week in checking the sys
tem, before trying it in The Bat
talion, the Aggie-U of H contest
was missed by one point. The Kan-
sas-TCU game was missed by six
points, the Baylor-Wake Forest
tilt by four and the Arkansas-
Oklahoma A&M game by six.
The only mistake was the Texas-
LSU game in which the system
predicted the Tigers to win by a
field goal.
This was an 80 percent predic
tion, which is 20 percent more than
we guarantee: This week the Sys
tem says:
Aggies over Oklahoma A&M by
seven points.
Texas over North Carolina by 18
points.
Arkansas and the U OF H to tie.
UCLA over TCU by six points.
Duke over SMU by seven points.
Texas Tech over Rice by 14
points.
with 30 points. Bonner, Tiger co
captain, has made five touchdowns
in the last two games.
One of his teammates said “No
body would stop Bonnen if he
weighed ten more pounds.”
Not only Bonnen but nine other
Tigers are among the top eleven
scorers in the district. Between
them they have 97 points for only
two games.
The Tigers haven’t beaten Nava
sota in the last three years but
Lineman Cooner says this is pro
bably their year.
Navasota has a much bigger
team than Consolidated, with two
tackles each weighing over 200
pounds.
190 Pound Guard
They also have a 190 pound
guard. “Even though out-weighed,
we have a very good chance of
beating the Rattlers if we play
heads-up ball and really hustle,”
said Cooner.
