Tuesday, November 4, 1952 THE BATTALION Page 5 Aggies Stay In SWC Race By Taking Razorbacks, 31-12 By GUS BECKER Associate Sports Editor It was a bad day for the Uni versity of Arkansas Razorbacks, Saturday, as the Aggie football team handed them a 31 to 12 de feat to move into a tie for third place in the SWC. The Aggies drew first blood in the contest when Ray Graves un leashed a 16 yard pass to Don El lis with two minutes left in the first quarter. Walter Hill’s try for the extra point was wide so the Aggies led 6 to 0 at the end of the first quarter. Arkansas was not giving up easy and early in the second quarter, Lamar McHan passed eight yards to end Floyd Sagely for the tying TD. The Hogs try for the point after was also wide and left the score tied a 6-6. Two minutes later the Cadets went out in front to stay, rolling 65 yards with the climax being Graves’ 26 yard aerial to Don El lis in the end zone. This time Hill made the extra point, leaving the score 13 to 6. Boring Intercepts Joe Boring intercepted Lamar McHan’s pass on the goal line later in the period, and the Aggies started moving again with Graves Passing to Ellis for the Touchdown from the Hog six. The try for point was wide again leaving the score 19 to 6 at the half. After being stopped by another pass interception by Boring, the Razorbacks took two plays to score their second TD of the game on a 40 yard pass from Ralph Troillett to fullback Lewis Carpenter. The conversion was missed making the score 19 to 12 at the end of the thi rd quarter. Big Connie Magouirk scored standing up for the fourth Aggie TD, five minutes deep in the final period. Magouirk scored from the 10 yard line right through the center of the Porker line. Salyer Scores With two minutes left to play, John^Salyer, playing the fullback position took a hand off from Roy Dollar, who had taken over the quarterback chores, and raced 20 yards for the final Aggie score of the contest. The last two con- versian attempts were missed to r&ave the final score, 31 to 12 for the Aggies. After the contest, head coach Otis Douglas of the Razorbacks said, “It was a hard game, the hardest game the Razorbacks have had all year. We made a lot of mistakes that really hurt. Normal ly two pass interceptions will beat a team, and the Aggies got six of ours. Those fumbles hurt, too.” Comparing the Aggies and Longhorns, coach Douglas com mented, “The Longhorns are plenty tough. Hard to say how the Aggies and Longhorns would do against each other because there is so much more to consider than the mechanical ability of the team or players.

Graves is one of the best in the business. Its hard to compare him with T. Jones, because Jones didn’t pass much against us. When the Ag gies play Texas, we’ll have to be partial to the Longhorns.

Clothiers Bryan North Gate, College Station AgRifle Team Defeats Hogs The Aggie Rifle Team won its third rifle match of the season by defeating the University of Arkan sas Rifle Team 1854 to 1752, Sat urday afternoon in a shoulder to shoulder' match fired on the indoor rifle range underneath Kyle Field. The Aggies took high score in each of the four positions, in win ning the match. Carl Schlinke, a senior and captain of the team, took the high score honors for the match with a score of 379. Schlinke, a letterman for the past two years, fired the only pos sible score of the match in the prone position, making 100 out of a possible 100. In the standing position, Schlinke made an amaz ing 92 out of a possible 100. Another senior, Ray Lyon, took second high score with a 376 out of a possible 400, while Dwight D. Huffman, a, sophomore was third high with 370 in the match. Last year against the Razor- backs the Aggie Rifle team fired a score of 1798 to 1720 for the Hogs. The Aggie Rifle Team seems to be improving with each match, but it is felt that a lot more prac tice is needed in the standing posi tion in order to win the Associa tion Championship. This weekend the Cadet Team will fire against the SMU Rifle Team in Dallas prior to the foot ball game between the two schools, rifle team coach, sergeant M. L. Oberste announced this morning.

Another TD—Aggie left halfback, Don Ellis, takes Ray Graves pass and runs for the second Cadet score in Saturday’s 31-12 trouncing of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Ellis caught three touchdown passes in the first half which was enough to win the game. Soccer Team Wins, 1-0 A&M’ international-flavored soc cer team won a hard-fought 1-0 victory from Bryan Air Force Base Norwegian team Saturday after noon behind Kyle Field. A first half goal scored by Arte- cona on an outstanding block was the margin of victory. Macaqueno Cunningham, Cap tain Guillermo Cardenas, Juan Letts, Kuratha, Artistides Casas, and Artecona played outstanding games. Most improved player was Guillermo Fernendes. The team as a whole showed more co-ordinated play and should continue to improve. Next game is with Chance Vought Aircraft Manufacturing team Sunday in Dallas after the SMU game. Dan Shrader, A TC, and John Johns, A Cml., were the individual offensive stars in Friday’s intra mural football play. Shrader handed off to Duane Brown on a 45 yard scoring play, and on the last play of the game intercepted a pass and ran it back 40 yards for another touch down in A TC’s 13-0 victory over Sq. 15. The winner’s air-tight defensive line, paced by Tom Hall, Sehon Warneke, Dub Watson, and Rob ert Hoermann, refused to budge inside their own 40 yard line and did not allow a single penetra tion. Johns, in sparking a 15-0 win over A FA, handled the ball on al most every play and snagged three enemy passes inside his ten yard line. A Cml. had two 90 yard touchdown runs called back be cause of penalties. A 60 yard punt return by Otis Mattiza was called back on a clip ping penalty but AAA later cross ed the. goal again to take a 6-0 decision from B Inf.
