Only three backfield stars will be lost by Coach Ray George this year as compared to the 11 last season. ^ Quarterback Ray Graves, the SWC’s No. 2 offensive leader with 1149 yards in 227 plays, will be the top Aggie back to end his college gridiron career. The Stephenville backfield star has the best pass completion percentage in the SWC. Roy Dollar, quarterback from Mexia, has done the majority of the Cadets punting this fall and played some at the man-under slot. He is the conference’s fourth lead ing punter, having kicked 45 times, averaging 37.3 yards per boot. Fish Nearly Upset Favored Yearlings The Texas freshman halted the Aggie “Fish” on the eight yard line with a recovered fumble and win Saturday 27-26. Playing before 2800 fans, the Aggie freshmen battled a highly favored Shorthorn eleven to a virtual standstill on Kyle Field. The Shorthorns jumped into a 27- 7 lead and held it until the third quarter. Then the “Fish” began to roll, and drew to within one point of the “Little Texans,” only to lose the ball on the UT eight yard line with three minutes left in the game. With all-stater from Lubbock, Charles Brewer passing and Joe Youngblood running, the Short horns scored three touchdowns in the first half to make the game look like a runaway. The “Fish” scored one touchdown in the first half when Herman Tidwell ran 79 yards to the one foot line, setting up the score. At the half, the Fish trailed 21 to 7. The first discordant note was struck at half time in this vicious frosh game. The Shriners used up more than their alloted time with (See FISH, Page 5) Watch Our Spot Special Ads For Stupendous Savings! Tuesday thru Thursday s p o T J. W. SORENSON CO.

He was the top ground gainer his freshman year, but play ed little the following two years being preceded by all-SWC stars Glenn Lippman, Billy Tidwell, and Yale Lary. The Aggies will not lose any of their fullbacks ®this year. Ten linemen were lost last year, and the Cadet eleven will be mi nus 11 aggressive stalwarts of the forward wall after Thursday. All-American Jack Little of Cor pus Chidsti and Darrow Hooper of Fox’t Wox’th ax’e two of the line men who complete their eligibility this year. Little, named all-Amer ican by Grantland Rice in 1951, has been one of the top tackles in the Southwest during his stay at A&M. Hoopex-, one of the na tion’s finest track stai’s, has brought the Farmers many points with his convex-sion kicks and pass catches. A&M does not lose any centex-s this year, and only one guard, Mar shall Rush of Lampasas. Rush has been one of the hardest hitting linemen of the Aggie team and the southwest.

Texas will be trying to improve on an already fine season record when they meet the Farmers. A win would give them a season record of eight victories against two losses, and a league record of six # and zero. The Longhorn backfield fea tures three players with an aver age of better than four yards per carry. Billy Quinn has carried 103 times for a 4.9 average, while Gib Dawson has rambled 108 times for a 4.8 average effort. Dick Ochoa got the call 171 times for an average of 4.2 yards. T.
