Robbins Breaks Arm
in Kentucky Grid Tilt
Injuries to Donald and Cooper
Robbins have dampened the thrill
of the 7-6 Aggie football victory
over Kentucky Saturday night.
X-rays showed Donald Robbins,
reserve end, suffered a left arm
fracture that may sideline him for
the rest of the season. His brother,
Coopei’, reserve center, has a leg
injury which will keep him out of
the Saturday contest with the Uni
versity of Houston Cougars, Coach
Ray George said.
Pleased with the Aggie offensive
and defensive play, George said,
both teams made mistakes, but
“Kentucky made the big one on
that extra point play.”
The Aggies spent the first quart
er warding off Kentucky thrusts
as the Wildcats controlled the ball
most of the period,' but began mov
ing in the second quarter with
Quarterback Don Ellis calling the
shots.
Drive Falls Short
Starting from their own 23,
where a Wildcat drive had faltered,
Don Kachtik bulled his way for 11
yards and Ellis added 10 more. It
was Ellis again for 11 to the Wild
cat 46, and after an Aggie off-side
penalty, Ellis in two plays moved
the ball to the 34.
Connie Magouirk gained seven
and Joe Boring carried to the
Kentucky 23. Ellis slid over tackle
to the 17, then sneaked up the mid
dle to the 11 and a first down.
Kachtik ramed for three twice and
Kentucky tightened up, holding
i'lllis to a scant yard. A fourth

down Ellis pass to Bennie Sinclair
fell incomplete in the end zone and
the scorless first half ended a few
plays later.
Later in the third quarter, the
Aggies began a drive on their own
23, and led by Ellis and Boring,
drove to the Kentucky 9.
The final period opened with
Ellis passing to Magouirk on the
1, then after two Kentucky off-side
penalties, Ellis sneaked over for
the touchdown and Boring added
the all-important extra point.
Kentucky, stung by the Aggie
score, battled its way across the
A&M double stripe with five
minutes remaining in the game,
then came the extra point mix-up.
A HAPPY MAN —Coach Ray
George looked happy when he
got off the plane Sunday after
noon, and who can blame him ?
The Aggies had toppled favored
Kentucky, 7-6.

When the Wildcats lined up for
the point, the ball was snapped too
soon, and a despemtion pass into
the end zone was incomplete. The
Aggies kept control of the ball for
the rest of the game to protect
their one-point margin.

QUARTER BACK
FROM
De. QUIMCEY
LA.
Holding their Class AA foes to
four net yards, A&M Consolidated’s
rampaging Tigers romped to a 59-
0 victory over the Madisonville
Mustangs Friday night. The Tigers
have now scored 124 points in their
two 1953 games while holding their
opponents scoreless.
Consolidated faces another Class
AA team Friday night, meeting
Navasota on Tiger Field. Nava-
sota has also won its first two
games.
Consolidated’s defense was
superb, giving up only three first
downs and never letting the Mus
tangs over their own 45 yard line.
Quarterback Fred Anderson and
Back Willie Arnold accounted for
five touchdowns between them.
Anderson scored on a 70 yard
punt return and fired touchdown
passes of 10 and 16 yards to Bob
by Jackson and Bobby Carter.
Arnold dashed 41 yards for one of
his touchdowns.
David Bonnen sprinted 47 yards'
for another touchdown with a punt
return, and Lineman Robert Cle-

Saturday’s Southwest Conference intersectional football
games produced at least three distant surprises.
The ease with which the Baylor Bears trampled the Uni
versity of California 25-0 was perhaps the greatest surprise
of all.
With Francis (Cotton) Davidson passing with deadly
accuracy, Baylor connected on eight of 15 passes for a phe
nomenal 236 yards through the air. A little simple arith
metic makes that work out to almost 30 yards per completion.
The 178 yards gained on the ground gave the Bruins a total
of 414 yards picked up during the day.
If Baylor can maintain that pace in conference games,
it will have a date in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s day.
LSU Jolts Texas
The inept showing of Texas against LSU in going down
to a 20-7 defeat was almost as startling. And unless the
Longhorns can come up with a quarterback who can put some
deception in the T formation attack, Texas fans are in for
more dreary Saturdays.
Billy Quinn, only returning member of last season’s all
conference Longhorn backfield, finished the game with a
minus four yards rushing, which should bear out those who
hold that a back is only as good as the line in front of him.
Aggie Victory No Fluke
The third, and most pleasant surprise was the Aggie de
fensive and offensive play in the 7-6 victory over the Ken
tucky Wildcats.
Quarterback Don Ellis passed well, completing seven of
13 tosses, and did an outstanding job of mixing his plays to
keep the Aggie offense moving. Unfortunate breaks kept
the margin of victory from being greater.
Don Kachtik played a fine defensive game for the Ag
gies and averaged 3.6 yards per carry in the seven times he
handled the ball.
Joe Boring, Connie Magouirk and Tommy Strait all
showed real power in carrying the ball.
The entire Aggie line was superb on defense, turning
back several Kentucky challenges early in the game when bad
breaks kept the Aggies in their own territory.
Saturday night’s game with the University of Houston
Cougars should give Aggie fans a close look at their team’s
offensive and defensive game against a heavier line.
