Size Against Speed When Teams Clash By ED HOLDER Sports Editor It will be speed against size once more for the Aggies tomorrow night as they tackle the big line of the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Maroon and White is the only team in the conference which Arkansas holds the edge over in games won and lost through the years since the two teams first met in 1927. A&M will be looking for its first confer ence win, and trying to hold on to a very slim shot at the title. They are holding on to hopes with a record of one loss, 21-20 to Baylor, and a tie, 7-7 with TCU. ► The Razorbacks are out of the running with two conference loss es, one to Texas and the other to TCU. They have a season record of 2 wifts, 4 losses. Darrow Hooper, the boy with the “automatic toe,” may not be able to play against Arkansas. His condition is b e 11 e r., but the bruised hip he received early in the Baylor game may keep him on the sidelines tomorrow night. Many people feel that A&M’s loss to Baylor last week was due largely to the loss of Hooper. He was out of the game just before the first Cadet score, and a young sophomore, Juan Coronado, missed the try. Walter (Horror) Hill, Aggie de fensive end, converted the next two tries. Leading the Aggies will be the speedy quarterback from Stephen- ville, Ray (Knucks) Graves. He will match wits with the ace spark of Arkansas, Lamar McHan. Graves is the Aggies triple threat, since his recent debut at punting. Backfield Talent Rounding out the backfield for the Cadets will be Connie Ma- gouirk and Don Kachtik at full back, and Raymond Haas, Don El lis, Charles Hall, and Pete May- eaux alternating at the halfback slots. Working the offensive line strat egy for the Maroon and White will be Jerry Crossman at left end, Bobby Dixon at left tackle, Marvin Tate or Ray Barrett in the left guard position. Down the right side it looks like Eric Miller at end, Durwood Scott in the taclcle slot, Sid Theriot at •guard, and Leo Marquette doing the centering. Defensively, the Cadet forward wall will have Cooper Robbins and Hill at ends; A1 Langford and Jack Little, tackles; Marshall Rush and Tate or Barrett, guards; Billy Mc Gowan and John Salyer, lineback ers; Joe Schero and Joe Boring, halfbacks and Ellis, safety.

Group Will Air All Complaints By JOEL AUSTIN Battalion Co-Editor Members of the senior class showed last night they mean business as they argued amendments, motions, and resolutions for four hours and fifteen minutes, in one of the longest senior class meetings on record. It was the second lengthy meeting held this week by seniors concerning many of the same subjects. The first was a meeting of commanding officers held Monday in the YMCA. It lasted three hours. The class placed full trust in the committee appointed by Corps Commander Weldon Kruger at the session for commanders. Headed by Third ♦ Division Cohimander Joe Wallace, this committee currently is collect ing complaints from students and will present these to the command ant’s office. Wallace told the seniors they could feel sui’e if satisfactory re sults were not obtained from that office, the committee would ask for a hearing before - the president, or as high as it is necessary to go. Concerning the committee, and other notable action which the class took after the recent question of investigation into the legality of college officials requiring stu-, dents to submit to a physical in spection as a check on hazing, the ; seniors passed the following mo tions. Motions Passed • The senior class stands be hind the committee and expresses complete confidence in the action to be taken by the committee and backs them wholeheartedly. And furthermore, if the senior class does not obtain satisfactory re sults from this committee, they will take other action and turn in their rank. And furthermore, a petition will be put in the MSC for all sen iors to sign stating that they back the committee completely. • We, the senior class, endorse the petition of the Class of 1955 which reads as follows: (Editor’s note: Content of the sophomore petition printed below in this story). It will be signed for the senior class by its president, Joe Mattei. And furthermore this en dorsement should be attached to the petition the class of 1955. • The senior class should tell the sophomore class to sacrifice their pride for the next two weeks and submit to physical inspection under protest, until the committee can act. Motion Refused Another motion was presented before the class, but tabled because the seniors wanted to give the committee an opportunity to take up these matters with college of ficials. The motion read, “The senior class should go on record as standing behind any cadet if 7 he desires to refuse to submit to a physical examination by any non medical personnel because of his feeling as to personal liberties or violation of personal and moral rights and further move that if any cadet is reduced in rank, any unit is disbanded, or any other dis ciplinary action is taken, the sen iors will resign their commissions in the Corps of Cadets.” Corps commander / Kruger criti- (See SENIORS, Page 3) Students Attend Personnel Course Two professors, and three stu dents will attend the 14th Annual Conference of the Texas Personnel Management Association held in Austin, today.

Wheeler Barger, College Station city attorney, has not ified the Recreation Council that they will be unable to propose an amendment to the city charter before 1954. The Recreation Council had planned to propose an amendment which would put the council on a tax supported basis as a part of the city government. According to the Constitution of the State of Texas, the charter of a home rule city cannot be amended or repealed except every two years. Since College Station’s home rule charter was adopted on Jan. 8, 1952, it can not be changed until Jan. 8, 1954. Donald D. Burchard, chairman of the Recreation Council, said that the council will meet the first part of next week to discuss their future plans. “We may request the passing of a city ordinance to the same ef fect as the amendment,” Burchard said. An ordinance can be passed by a majority vote of the six-man City Council. Ordinances are as much a law as amendments; how ever, the City Council can change or repeal an ordinance at any time.
