THE BATTALION

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.

four touchdowns for the Tigers
Friday night to spark-plug a 66-0
win over Lexington High School.
It was Consolidated’s eighth win
of the season.
The rest of the Tiger scores
were divided up between Travis
Engelbrecht, Bobby Jackson, Tom
my Barker and Bobby Joe Wade.
Jackson and Engelbrecht made
two, and Barker and Wade each
made one.
Coach Othel Chafin switched
Anderson to halfback from his
usual quarterback position to give
him a “rest.” He then raced to
two touchdowns, one Was a “short”
romp for 84 yards and the other
for a “mere” 18.
“Played Good Game”
Chafin said the whole team play
ed a better game than they "haV6
in a long time. The blocking was
good all evening though at times,
Anderson was ahead of his inter
ference. Coach Chafin was well
pleased with the performance of
all the boys.
Anderson, according to Chafin,
played a “cooler” game than he
ever has. He said that tightening-
up in the close spots has been the
speedy back’s worst problem.

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.
Fenstemaker, who beat Arkan
sas last week with five straight
extra points, went in as quarter
back after regular Dan Drake was
injured. He passed and kicked Rice
to victory, completing 8 of 14
passes for 78 yards, kicking one
extra point, and booting a 21 yard
field goal.
Pete Mayeaux, Aggie half
back who was injured in the
Rice game, is reported to be
doing fine.
He is in bed in the college
hospital, and still under obser
vation. 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.

Fenstemaker kicked the extra

Aggies Roll
After returning the kickoff to
the 24, the Cadets started a 76
yard scoring drive. Ellis and Con
nie Magouirk teamed up for the
long march with Ellis shooting two
passes, one to Charles Hall for
22 yards, and another to Magouirk
for 10. Magouirk added yardage
with explosive running, and scored
the touchdown from three yards
out.
Hooper kicked wide, and the
half ended with Rice leading 7-6.
The Aggies missed one scoring
opportunity in the first quarter
when Boring returned a punt from
the Aggie 43 to the Rice 15. The
play was called back because of a
roughing the kicker penalty.
