Tuesday, November 18, 1952 THE BATTALION Page 3 Ray George, Three Aggies On All-Stars Coach Ray George will take three of his Aggies and join for ces with the south in the annual Blue-Gray all star contest in Mont gomery, Alabama. Ray Graves, star quarterback of the Cadets, All America Jack Little, and Marshall Rush, top de fensive standouts in the SWC, are the thi’ee men who have accepted bids to play Dec. 27. Graves, who has sparked the Ag gie offense throughout the year till the Rice tilt last Saturday, has consented to play for the Southern all-stars. He is 17th in the nation in total offense, and 10th in for ward passing. The slender man-under from Stephenville has been rated by many as the top quarterback in the conference. His precision pass ing and cool generalship on the field has brought him the acclaim of fans, and the confidence of team mates. Standout in every game the Ag gies have played this year is All America Little. Opposing teams have rated him among the best defensive men they played against because of his ability to stop plays. He has been shifted from tackle to line backer off and on, due to his versatility. He moves his giant 220-pound frame with surprising speed. I%iying defensive guard, tackle, and linebacker, and even seeing some action on the offensive squad, Rush is known for his speed and aggressiveness. He may be small for a SWC guard, but he has taught a num ber of the big boys who outweigh ed him some 40 pounds that size isn’t everything. Coach George has often played him at linebacker be cause of his speed and ability to figure the opposition’s plays even before they develop. ... .

Fenstemaker Leads In Routing Aggies 16-6 By JERRY ESTES Battalion Sports Staff Leroy Fenstemaker, Rice’s ex tra point specialist, came off the bench Saturday to lead the Owls to an unexpected 16-6 win over the Aggies on Kyle Field.

A definite report as to the seriousness is expected soon. Ray Graves, ace passer of the ! Aggies was out of the game, be cause of an injury received in the SMU game. The quarterbacking chores were taken over by Don Ellis, star left halfback. He did a fine job, but the offense was kept bottled up on all but one occasion by a rugged Rice de fense.
