Freshman Football Team Meets
Polly wogs In Ft. Worth Tonight
The A&M freshman football
team plays the TCU Pollywogs to
night in Fort Worth.
This is their third game of the
season, having won their game
with the Baylor Cubs 21 to 20 last
Friday, and lost their opener to
the U of H.
Coach Cooper Robbins said to
night’s game won’t be an easy one.
The Wogs have a good team but
not much in reserve “They are
strong in the places Avhere we are
weak,” said Robbins.
Some of the pollywogs best play
ers are two big fullbacks, Gerald
Redus 185, and Julio Laguax-ta, 165.
Both are dangerous runners and
Redus is also a good passeiv Their

Graves Passes to No. 2 Spot
Ray Graves, Ace Aggie aerial-
ist, jumped from fourth to second
place among the nations top for
ward passers, nation-wide statis
tics revealed today.
Graves has completed 48 passes
out of 75 attempted for a 64 per
cent completion average. Henrich
of Washington tried 39 aerials
last weekend to take a good lead
Cadet Harriers
Lose to Cowboys
The Aggie Cross-Country team
didn’t fare as well against the
Oklahoma Aggies as did the foot
ball team. Last Saturday. The Ok
lahoma team beat the Aggies 32-
20.
Oklahoma placed 1-2-3 in the
race, with Berton Westmorlen of
the Aggies finishing fourth, and
James Blain fifth.
Last Monday at Norman, Okla
homa University took the Aggies
20-16.
The team consisting of James
Blain, Charles Hudgins, Dale De
Rouen, Charles Gabriel, and Ber-,
ton Wesmorlen, still has a good
chance of winning the conference
title, according to James Blain.
Blain said although the squad
lost decisively to Oklahoma A&M,
it was mostly due to the running
of Fred Eckoff of the Oklahoma.
Squad, and not because the Ag'gies
had an inferior team.
Blain said Arkansas and Texas
are the teams that will give the
Aggies the closest race in the
conference, but the Aggies should
win if they get in shape.
The next race for the Aggies
will be in a warm-up meet with
Arkansas Friday before the Pork
er-Aggie football game. This
should give a good idea of the
strength of the Aggies in com-
parison to other conference teams.

Tire Wogs have a good passing
attack with most of them going
to end Bob Wilson. Don Samford,
a 205 pound halfback, may be a
serious threat to the A&M chan
ces.
Robbins Only Injury
Donald Robbins is the only in
jury on the Aggie fish team. He
came out of the H&ylor game with
a broken left collar-bone and a
dislocatted right one. Robbins will
be out for the rest of the season.
Bill Schroeder caught two touch
down passes and Pete Huddleston
made an 85 yard run for the other
scoi-e in the Baylor game. The
score was 13 to 6 at the end of
the first half, 21 to 13 at the third
quarter and 21-20 at the end of
the game.
Place Kicking Perfect
Ben Nichleson, place-kicking for
the freshmen made all three extra
points and practically won the
game since Baylor missed one of
their’s in the first quarter.
“There is quite a bit of im
provement in the team-work and
running of plays on our team,”
said Coach Robbins. “There is still

(TCU),” senior defensive tackle
Alvin Langford answered today,
when asked about Saturday’s
game with the Horned Frogs.
Langford, a 213 pounder, plays
left defensive tackle and is a fast
charging and hard-hitting lineman
for the Aggies.
“They (TCU) will probably be
up for us,” Langford added, “but
we will be up for them too.”
“We haven’t lost our spirit or
hustle and 1 believe we can win,”
said Langford.
Langford hails from Fort Worth,
where he played high school ball
for Polytechnic. One of the fastest
linemen on the Cadet squad, Lang
ford commented that the Michigan
State eleven was,” the best team
I’ve ever played against.
“They couldn’t do anything
wrong and were really ready for
MSC Bowling Alley
Serves All Comers
An average of 72 bowlers per
day bowled 31,134 lines during five
months on the MSC alleys. These
alleys, the finest in the area,
serve the people of College Sta
tion, Bryan, and Bryan Air Force
Base.
The A&M Bowling Club holds
the . high team average of 947

University of Houston October
fifth. The high men’s score of 268
is held by Ted Gullette who also
holds the high series score of 673.
On the women’s side of the

us,” Langford added.
“I don’t think TCU will be any
thing like they (Michigan State)
were,” decided Langford. “Of
course you never can tell.”
Last season, Langford lettered
as a defensive guard. He has won
two varsity letters besides a fresh
man numeral.
Langford is one of the steadier
ball players on the Aggie squad
and helps the inexperienced soph
omore lineman gain polish in line-
play.

majoring in physical education.
room for more, though.” Robbins
said his boys played a pretty good
game Friday even though Baylor
has one of the best fresman teams
they’ve had.
Robbins expressed regret that
his team has had but two days
since the Baylor game to get ready
for the Pollywogs. The Wogs use
a wide spread formation which is
difficult to get used to if a team
hasn’t had much practice against
it.
Either Bob Mangleburger or
Don Tedder will take Don Robbins
place in tonight’s game. That is
the defensive end position.
The outcome of tonight’s tilt
depends mostly on the A&M pass-
defense, according to Cooper Rob
bins. He sajd it wasn’t as good
as it should have been against
Baylor.
Kittens Seek First
Victory of Season
The Consolidated Jr. High Kit
tens play their fourth game of the
season tomorrow night in Madison-
ville.
After a close 6-0 loss to the
Hearne Eaglets last week, and
two narrow losses the weeks be
fore, the Kittens will be looking
for their first win and their first
touchdown.
Against Hearne Jr. High the
Kittens were outweighed on a
team average of 30 pounds.
Co-Captains . for t o m o r r o w
night’s game against Madisonville
Jr. High will be Frank Benavidez
and Richard Allen. '
O. V. Chafin, coach of the jr.
high squad, said the Kittens have
been improving each game. “They
lost the first by 12 points, the
second by 7 points, and the last
by only 6,” he said.
“All in all they have been do
ing a good job, and^I expect them
to do even better against Madison
ville. They aren’t very big com
pared to some of the teams we
play, but they show a lot of fight,”
he said.
