Last year as a Freshman, Kach
tik led the Fish team in scoring
with 24 points, and scored the
first touchdown of the season
against Blinn College. He also led
the team in rushing with an aver
age of almost 11 yards per carry.
Kachtik said he decided on A&M
because he wanted to study Animal
Husbandry and he liked the school
spirit. He added the spirit of the
Twelfth Man made the team feel
much better, winning or losing.
This year, playing on the Var
sity, he has alternated at the full
back position with Connie Ma-
gouirk, and has shown fine drive
and spirit.
Kachtik said his biggest thrill
so far was his winning touchdown
against Oklahoma A&M Saturday
night. But he added that to win

Battalion Sports Writer
“Oklahoma A&M”, commented
Joe Schero this morning, “definite
ly had a better team than the U. of
H., but I don’t think we played as
good a game against them, since
the team a whole made more
mistakes.
“Oklahoma A&M had a very
strong defensive line which gave
Ray Graves very little time to get
set,” added Schero.
“I think the . Cowpokes were
really fired up, and along with
their defensive line and our cost
ly fumbles, it made a close^game.”
“The reason the team has done
better than most people expected,
I think,” concluded Schero, “is
that most of us are sopho
mores and juniors, and were all
playing hard and always hustling
in order to beat out the next man
for the starting assignment.”
Not Over Confident
“We don’t have the aptness to
become over confident when we
play since most of us are playing
first string varsity ball for the
first time.”
“Coach Faircloth, the assistant
backfield coach, scouted Kentucky
last week and he should give us
a hint of what to expect Saturday
night,” Schero said.
“Kentucky, like the Aggies lost
their main team last year and are
fielding a young aggressive team
this year,” Schero remarked. “Al
most everyone remembers “Babe”
Parelli, the All-American quarter
back, the Wildcats lost to gradua
tion,” he added.
Schero is 19 years old, a sopho
more who calls San Antonio his
home town. An architect major,
Schero was an All State end on
the Brackenridge High School
team and won his freshman letter-
ter as defensive end last year.
In the two games played, Schero
is the leading punt returner in the
SWC, with a 21.5 average.
’ “From here on we can’t afford
to make any more mistakes,” ad
mitted Schero, “our first confer
ence game is three weeks off, and
we should really get polished up
for these next two games.”
Aggies Squeeze By Hard One
In Final Minutes of Play
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Editor
“Our boys played a hard game.
They had to if they won,” said
Ray George just after his Aggies
squeezed by the Oklahoma A&M
Cowpokes Saturday night 14-7.
“We made a few mistakes,” he
continued, “but when you play a
team as good as they have, and
you get hit as hard as they were
T hitting, you are bound to make a
few mistakes.”
Coach George was refering to
the way the game could have gone
either way until the last quarter
when Hub Scott, defensive half
back for the Aggies, pulled in a
Cowpoke pass on his own 17 yard
line, and carried it back to the 44.
This set up the final cfrive as
the Maroon and White drove and
possed for four first downs and
the winning touchdown.
First Score Early
Connie Magouirk, Aggie full
back, tore through center for the
first score of the game early in
the first quarter.
Don Ellis, left halfback, cross
ed on the play before, but the
Farmers were called back and
penalized five yards for offsides.
Hooper converted and kicked
off. Oklahoma passed but it was
incomplete. They were penalized
15 yards for illegal use of hands,
then when Don Barbers, Cowpoke
quarterback, attempted a hand-off,
he was hit hard by Jack Little,
All-America tackle, and end Wal
ter Hill, and fumbled on his own
8 where Charlie Saxe recovered.
Magouirk tried to bull his way
up the middle and lost the ball to
the Cowpokes on their 7.
Oklahoma then started their
most fierce drive of the game and
didn’t stop till they crossed the
goal 93 yards later. Stout made
the score, and Davis converted to
make the score 7-7.
The play was defensive for both
teams the rest of the game till
about mid-way in the fourth quar
ter when Scott made his intercep
tion.
The ball was tipped up by Joe
Boring and Joe Schero as they de
fended a pass receiver, and Scott
shot by to take it to his own 44.
Ray Graves, Aggie Quarterback,
shot around right end for 9 yards,
and Don Kactik, fullback, bulldoz
ed over the middle for a first
down.
Jerry Crossman, Aggie end, took
a pass from Graves on the 28 for
another first down. Ellis went
through the center for 3, and Haas
hit the middle for another 4.
Kachtik picked up 2 at left
guard, and then took the ball
through for the fourth first down
of the 56 yard drive.
It was Kashtik all the way on
three tries, the first picking up
2, the second getting 1, and the
third was off right guard for the
winning score. Hooper’s kick was
good, to set the score at 14-7.
The Aggies held the Cowpokes
for four downs after the kickoff,
and took over with less than two
minutes left in the game.
Haas hit left tackle for 2, and
Ellis got 5 at right guard. Haas
hit again for a first down and
Graves lost 3 on a keep play.
Right halfback Haas got 4
around left end as the game ended
Aggies 14, Cowpokes 7.
“Lucky to be Alive”
“We’x-e lucky to get out of that
one alive,” said Paul McMurtry,
head line coach of the Maroon and
White.
In the dressing room of the
Cotton Bowl just after the game,
McMurtry added, “They had a
good team. There isn’t any doubt
about that. I’m just glad it’s all
over, and we won.”
The Aggies meet Kentucky, one
of the potential powers in the na
tion next Saturday on Kyle Field.
This will be their first home game,
and will be at 8 p. m.
Bonnen And Arnold
Star In Tiger Win
The A&M Consolidated Tigers
kept their record clean by down
ing the Navasota Rattlers, 32-13
on Tiger Field Fi-iday night.
Fred Anderson, Tiger quarter
back, was very deadly with his
passing as he completed six out of
seven for 61 yards, keeping the
Rattler defense of balance.
The leading scorer in the confei - -
ence, David Bonnen, Tiger full
back scored in the first period on
a one yard buck thx*ough the line.
Tiger halfback, Willie Axmold,
scored three times, going over
from the two yax’d line in the
second pexdod, scampering 32 yards
for the second in the third quarter
and ex’ossing the double sti’ipes
from four yax-ds out in the final
pex-iod.
Arnold cax-ried 11 times fox- 136
yards averaging over 12 yaxds per
carry.
Bobby Joe Wade, Tiger halfback
scox’ed the other Consolidated TD
in the thix-d quax-ter on a 29 yax-d
end x-un.
