The long holiday layover had little visible effect on Harris as 12th Man Bowl Takes in $2,085 Profits from the 12th Man Bowl game of Dec. 18 totaled $2,085.50. Bill Munnerlyn, chairman of the special committee for the game, said he was well pleased with re sults of the event. He watched the money being deposited yester day into the Student Aid Fund, and said, “It's great the way the corps will get behind something and coopex*ate right down the line.” Most of the money was collect ed through the individual corps outfits, several of which reported 100 per cent sales. Gene Sparks was head of the committee for handling these units and promoting the sales. $300 at Gate Over $300 was taken in at the gate to Kyle Field the afternoon of the game, “indicating good sup port from the faculty and Aggie supporters around the College Sta tion area,” said Munnerlyn. “There were no expenses which we had to meet,” he said, “since the field and all the equipment was donated by Bai’low (Bones) Ii-vin and the athletic department. “We also received support all the way from people like Bill Day- ton, the Aggie ti’ainer who put in his time taking cax*e of the playei’s. He even bought cokes for the men at halftime and at the end of the game. Special Credit “Special credit should also be giveix to the men who gave their time for the promotion of the game. They spent a lot of time as committee heads, and did a good job,” he added. These men were Sparks, Jerx-y Lastedck, Dave Edens, Don Grean- ey, Ronnie Hudson, and Ed Holdex*. Munnei’lyn said that it looks like the game will be played evei'y year now, “and if the event con tinues to x*eceive the suppoxi; it did this year,” he said, “xve will have a way to keep up the aid fund from year to yeai\” he dodged and squinxxed 50 yai'ds for a touchdown after intercepting a pass and later scored again on a shoi't plunge thi'ough the line. His long scamper came on the last play of the first half. The Band found their scoring, punch as they poured over three touchdowns on thi’ee plays at one stage of the game. A 60-yard touchdown dash by Wert Love paced B Inf. to a 19-0 win over Sq. 3. A hard-ehai-ging defensive forward whll hounded Sq. 3 ball-carriers throughout the game, three times nailing them behind the goal for safeties and holding them outside the Infantry 40 yard line. A nifty offensive combination racked up four 40- and thi’ee 20-yard line peneti-ations for the winners. In the only other football game of the day, Sq. 13 won a foxTeit decision over A Comp. Homer Dillon dufped in ten points as A QMC outscored B Inf., 17-7, in intramural basketball. Field goals by Dillon and Bill Barnes and a fi’ee toss by Buddy Hall gave A QMC a 5-2 halftime lead as both teams had trouble finding the basket. Thx-ee field goals and a pair of free shots by Dillon and goals by Barnes and Eugene Faltin put the winnei’s out of reach in the second half.
