THE BATTALION
Wednesday, November 5, 1052
Adlai Concedes
(Continued from Page 1)
to the Leland Hotel, where Wyatt
had set up election eve head-
quarters.
A crowd of admirers was wait
ing in the ballroom on the second
floor.
Many were clinging to the bitter
end to the hope that somehow,
somewhere the tide would turn and
give Stevenson the electoral votes
he needed.
But Stevenson knew he was beat
en. He had sensed it, an aide later
said, from the time he was handed
a news report that Paul Fitzpat
rick, New York State Democratic
chairman, had conceded the state
to Eisenhower, with its big chunk
of 45 electoral votes.
Arvey Conceds Illinois
And then Col. Jacob Arvey of
Chicago—Illinois Democratic Na
tional committeeman — who had
sponsored Stevenson’s entry* into
politics, conceded Illinois to the
Eisenhower forces.
Stevenson came through a back
entrance and walked upstairs to
the ballroom. The crowd broke into
cheers. They began chanting, “We
want Stevenson,” and he gave
them a big grin. He looked re
laxed and at ease.
Then the crowd became' quiet.
Stevenson’s smile faded, and he
looked out at the people who had
pinned their hopes of victory on
him. And in a clear and unhurried
voice he told them:
“My fellow citizens have made
their choice and have selected Gen.
Eisenhower and the Republican
party as the instruments of their
will for the next four years. The
people have rendered their verdict
and I gladly accept it.”
That was it. That was the con
cession of defeat. The reporters
broke out of the room in a run for
telephones to signal the concession.
Stevensdn went on talking. He
said of Eisenhower the man whom
he had attacked so bitterly in re
cent weeks:
“Ike Great Leader”
“Gen. Eisenhower has been a
great leader in war. He has been
a vigorous and valiant opponent
in the campaign. These qualities
will now be dedicated to leading
us all through the next four years.
“It is traditionally American to
fight hai-d before an election. It
Is equally traditional to close ranks
as soon as the people have spoken.
From the depths of my heart I
thank all of rny party, and all of
those independents and Republi
cans who supported Sen. Sparkman
and me.
“That which unites us as Amer
ican citizens is far greater than
that which divides us as political
partisans. I urge you all to give
to Gen. Eisenhower the support he
will need to carry out the great
tasks that lie before him. I pledge
him mine.”

Fish Meet Rice
(Continued from Rage 5)
fullback, Jerry Hall is one of the
best in the league. Hall hails from
Palestine, Texas and weighs 210
pounds.
The owlets have a big line which
will probably give the Agjrie de
fensive line a lot of trouble. At
tackles for the Owlets are Eddie
Ravburn of Houston, weighing 240,
and Orville Trask of Houston also,
and weighing the same as Ray
burn.
Big Boy At Center
Playing, center for the Owlets
is another big boy, Don Wilson,
a Houston product, weighing 226.
Others in the Owlet line are
ends, Marshall Crawford of Lame-
sa and Charles McClain of Hous
ton and guards, Travis Dyer of
Odessa and Tommy Siragusa of
Houston.
Quarterbacking the Owlets will
be John Nisbet, another Houston
lad.
An Owlet standout on defense
is Norman Kothman of Menard,
who plays in the line and at the
halfback position.
Aggie Fish stars who will try
to even up their won and lost rec-
ord include, Ogden Bass of Free
port, Ronald Robbins, Tom Schaef
of Canadian, and Herman Tidwell
of Hearne.
Everything points to a good
game with the Rice Owlets slightly
favored because of their heavier
line and fast backfield.
Boone Joins Industrial
Education Department
J. L. Boone was recently added
to the Industrial Education teach
ing staff. Boone, a 1947 industrial
education graduate, received his
M.A. from A&M in 1948.
(Continued from Page 5)
Don Cole or Bill Fox hold down
SMU’s center spot, but Leo Mar
quette of the Aggies has turned
in a fine job and should hold his
own.
Pony Backfield
In the backfield, the Mustangs
are supposed to have one of the
top ball-carrying crews in the con
ference. The Aggies have a com
pletely new backfield quartet, with
the exception of Ray Graves at
quarterback. The Ponies boast
such stars as Val Joe Walker,
Benton Musslewhite, Jerry Norton
and Sam Stollenwerck. Several
sophomores have broken into the
SMU starting backfield formation.
Subbing for Musslewhite, is
Duane Nutt, but he has been in
jured and may not see action
against the Aggies. Frank Eidon
is another SMU sophomoi’e back,
who was doing great for the Mus
tangs until he was also injured
and may not be able to play
against the Cadets either.
The Aggies in their completely
revamped bail-carrying four, have
not done as bad as most people
predicted. Don Ellis at left half
back, is the sixth leading ball car
rier in the SWC. At fullback, the
Aggies are well set with big Con
nie Magouirk and Don Kachtik.
Magouirk and Kachtik alternate
and take turns leading the ground
attack each weekend. The right
halfback position is three deep and
doesn’t present much worry. Soph
omore Charley Hall has looked
good at this spot with Raymond
Haas and Pete Mayeaux also able
to go anytime.
Aggies Better on Ground
The Aggies are better rushing
team according to statistics, aver
aging 176 yards per game while
the Mustangs have only averaged
125, but Georgia Tech and Duke
are ranked second and seventh re
spectively in the nation defensive
ly-
In passing offense the Mustangs
lead the conference with 160 yards
per game which is also good
enough for the number 15 spot in
the nation in this depai'tment. The
Aggies are last in this department
with 117 yards per contest.
A&M has the second worst pass
defense average in the SWC, and
although the Aggies are improving
they might run into trouble from
the Ponies aerial circus.

ATLANTA, Nov. 5 — </P> —
Dwight D. Eisenhower split the
solid South to bits in Tuesday’s
general election and immediately a
high Republican official in Florida
said his feat was the beginning of
the two party system in Dixie.
With four states in the Eisen
hower fold, a fifth apparently on
the way to a Republican triumph
and a sixth nip-and-tuck, Ike had
polled more southern popular votes
than any other GOP nominee.
Firmly in Eisenhower’s grasp
were Florida, Oklahoma, Virginia
and Texas. On the basis of almost
complete returns, he had taken
Tennessee. Ike held a 4,000 vote
lead in Tennessee early today and
nearly all of the remaining unre
ported precincts were in predom
inantly Republican East Tennes
see.
Tight in Louisiana
By taking those five states, the
Republicans would pile up 65 elec
toral votes. The race was tight in
Louisiana and where that state’s
10 electoral votes might go awaited
further ballot counting.
“It is the beginning of the two
party system in the South,” said
Paul Helliwell, Miami, vice chair
man of the “Florida for Eisenhow
er” committee.
The other seven states of the
traditionally solid South—Alaba
ma, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky,
Mississippi and North and South
Carolina—with 71 electoral votes
appeared safe for the Democrats’
Adlai Stevenson.
Doubles Dewey Total
Yet in overall popular vote, with
many precincts still missing, the
genial general counted four mil
lion, which was more than twice
the total gained by Thomas E.
Dewey in 1938—and fewer than
109,090 behind the Stevenson total
at this point.
Later returns may pull him to
more than double the previous Re
publican high mark in Dixie, set
by Hoover in 1928.
Hoover polled slightly more than
2 1 /> million votes in carrying seven
of the southern states that year.
It was Dixie’s greatest defection
by states.
All five states which Eisenhow
er has or may cany also went for
Hoover in ’28.
In his assault on the South, Ei
senhower probed at the chinks in
Democratic solidarity disclosed by
the States Rights movement in
1948. But he found few soft spots
there and lost at least three of
the four states, Alabama, Louisi
ana, Mississippi and South Caro
lina, which returned States Rights
majorities.
In rolling up the largest south
ern vote ever registered by a Re
publican, he made heavy inroads
in practically all of the states he
failed to carry.
The outcome was a victory for
some old line Democrats, • defeat
for others. Notable winners were
Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas and
his Democratic Party organization,
which bolted to Eisenhower over
the tidelands oil issue.
On the setback side are Govs. ^
Robert Kennon, Louisiana, and
James Byrnes, South Carolina.
Both also endorsed Eisenhower and
urged their supporters to do like- »
wise.
Oklahoma Sururises
In Virginia, Sen. Harry F. Byrd,
a severe critic of the Truman ad
ministration, repudiated Stevenson
but did not say he would support
Eisenhower, nor did he urge his
friends to do so.
The most unexpected result was
in Oklahoma, which had not fig
ured high in Republicans’ pre
election predictions of their
chances in the South. Florida,«
Texas, Virgina, Tennessee and
Louisiana they saw some chance
to win, but Oklahoma was not
counted seriously.
The size of the Texas vote caught *
some attention. Stevenson is
within 25,000 votes of Truman’s
1948 vote there, and still is trailing
better than 100,000 votes. Repub
licans and States Righters together
rolled up a total of only 338,000
in the state against Truman.
