playing right tackle.
For the defense,.it was Joe Bor
ing at the halfback post, and Coop
er Robbins, Jr. as linebacker.
Kachtik, who has been alterna
ting with Connie Magouirk at full
back, was sent into the game as a
halfback, and turned in an out
standing ground game for the
Cadets.
Rolls Up Yards
He rolled up a total of 55 yards
gained on 14 tries at the line. He
.ost yardage ony once throughout
the afternoon, and this was only
one yard.
The hard running bulldozing
type, Kachtik is already making a
name for himself as one of the out
standing sophomores of the year.
Several times during the game, he

goal line standing up.
Scott Opens TD Holes
Playing directly in front of
Khchtik, and helping to open the
Holes for the touchdown scampers i
was Durwood Scott, big junior
tackle. 0 ? '' ^
Running most of the offense for
the Cadets this year, Scott has
shown the aggressive spirit of this
year’s Maroon and White squad
by continuing to do a great job of
making the openings and holding
his opponent out.
“Scotty” gets our nomination
for Player of the Week for two
reasons. One is his consistency of
good performances throughout the
season, and the other is his fine
showing against a more expex 1 -
ienced line of the Baylor Bears.

Razorbacks Hold Series Edge
The only team in the Southwest Conference over which
Arkansas can claim an all-time series mastery—-the Aggies—-
will be the opponent this coming Saturday night when the
Razorbacks resume league play here at Kyle Field.
Strangely enough, though Arkansas is one of only two
teams in the conference that lead the Cadets in gridiron wins
(the other is Texas), the two teams are at opposite ends of
the ladder as far as league championships go.
The Aggies rank first—ahead of even the Longhorns—
in claiming a share in eight SWC titles. The Razorbacks
have a part in two official crowns and one (1933) undeclared
title.

NAM E
ADDRESS-
With Arkansas all but mathematically out of the run
ning in 1952 and the Cadets predicted to join them soon, the
game has little significance in the conference race. As al
ways, however, the two state schools are expected to join up
in one of the southwest’s ^thrilling offensive games of the
year.
A year ago—Avith little hanging in the balance—the
two teams battled in the year’s top offensive show as Ar
kansas nosed out the Cadets, 33-21. The series history,
which started in 1903, reveals the bitterest of rivalries, dot
ted not by close scores but rather landslides for one team or
the other. In 1948 and 1949, Arkansas punished the lowly
Cadets, 28-6 and 27-6; while in 1950, the Aggies were merci
less running up a 42-0 count before the Porkers scored two
touchdowns in the final period. •
Shoi’n of what probably will go
down as the finest nxnning back-
field in cohfex-ence histoi’y, the Ag
gies still have surprised the ex
perts with their showing this year.
Minus Bob Smith, Glenn Lippman
and Billy Tidwell, a savage line
led 1951 All-American tackle Jack
Little enabled them to split their
four intersectional games.
The only basis for compaxlson
with Arkansas gives the Cadets—
xated below the Razox'backs in pre-
season estimates — a definite ad
vantage. Texas A&M defeated
Houston, 21-13; Oklahoma A&M,
14-7; and tied Texas Christian at
7-7. The Razox’backs, on the other from title contention almost befox’e

lone holdover fx’om that team. The
junior ranks thixd in the loop as
a passer and is second in total of
fense. His passing percentage is
one of the finest in the nation—
near a .600 average.
For Ai’kansas, the game will be
of special significance. The Ra
zorbacks last won a football game
in the state of Texas against these
same Aggies in 1948. Since that
time Arkansas has dropped 11
consecutive Southwest Conference
games in the Lone Star State.
This inability to win games on
the x’oad has eliminated Arkansas
down crucial passes.
He is continually knocking down
end-arounds and saving yaxds, and
often breaks into the line to grab
a runner just past the line of
scrimmage. <;

brought a number of yaxds home, '

Robbins Backs Line
A constant defense against both
gi’ound plays and aerials, Robbins
inxns from a linebacker position
just behind the end.
Weighing only 180 poxxnds, lit
tle Robbins is tough to conquer,
and his spirit and aggi’essiveness
adds spark to the defensive back-
field. With another year of eligi
bility left, he will be counted on
next year as well as this to help
bolster the Aggie defense.
Early in the thixd quai’tei’, Rob
bins broke thi’ough the line as the
Bears stax’ted around end, and
knifed his way thi’ough thi’ee block
ers to spin the x*unner around and
set him back for a five yaxd loss.
Robbins’ speed and fight land
him a position as an outstanding
Player of the Week.
