THE BATTALION

Win
By BOB BORISKIE
Sports Editor
Coach Ray George called on
sophomores to replace ailing regu
lars in Saturday night’s Cotton
Bowl contest with the University
of Georgia, and they played a large
part in the thrilling 14-12 Aggie
victory.
Billy Huddleston, sophomore
halfback, emerged as top ball car
rier for the night, picking up 118
yards in 13 carries for a whopping’
9.1 yards per carry.
Bob Easley took over the full
back chores from injured Don
Kachtik and played sharp offens
ive and defensive football.
Elwood Kettler, Tommy Strait
and Dave Smith were other sopho
more backs who sparkled in the
game which saw the Bulldogs held
to 90 yards rushing.
Sophs Not Only Stars
Outstanding play wasn’t limited
to the sophomores, however.
Don Ellis, who seems to perform
at his best when the pressure is
greatest, twice brought the Aggies
from behind. He sneaked over
from the two yard line in the third
quarter, and tossed the touchdown
pass to Johnny Salyer in the final
minutes of the game.
Top line play was turned in by
Sidney Theriot, Marvin Tate and
Lawrence Winkler as the Aggies
rolled up 213 yards rushing.
In 4 first quarter, defensive
play k either team from mount
ing sustained drives. Georgia was
unable to move past the Aggie 41,
nnd the Bulldogs stopped the only
Aggie threat when they recovered
A.&M’s fumble on the Georgia 11.
The second quarter also failed to
produce a score as pass intercep
tions by both teams stalled offens
ive drives. A&M moved down to
the Georgia 19, but an offside pen
alty moved the ball back to the 24,
and four inconrplete passes later,
the Bulldogs took over at that
spot. The first half ended four
plays later.
An Aggie fumble early in the
third period gave Georgia the ball
on the A&M 48, and the Bulldogs
quickly moved to score. Kelly
reeled off a run of 18 yards on the
first play to shove the ball to the
Aggie 32. Bratkowski passed to
Carson for 7 more, then hit Wil
liams on the 15 and he galloped
to the Aggie 8.
Two plunges over the right side
of the line, -and Fullback Clemens
drew first blood for Georgia.
Mrvos missed the conversion, and
Georgia led, 6-0.
Ten plays after ‘the ensuing
kickoff, the Aggies had chalked up
a touchdown and went into the
lead on the converted point after.
Salyer Runs 24 Yards
Salyer took the Georgia kickoff
on the Aggie 25 and ran it back to
the A&M 49. Huddleston moved
the ball to the Georgia 41 in two
carries, and Salyer added 3 more
to carry to the 38. Ellis picked up
six on a keeper, then handed to
Salyer who drove to the Bulldog 13.
Huddleston went over right
guard to the nine, Ellis kept and
hit the right side again for three
more to put the ball on the Georgia
six.
Kettler got two over left guard,
picked up two more over right
tackle, then Ellis sneaked over left
tackle to score. Kettler added the
point and the Aggies led, 7-6.
Easley Catches Garrard
In the fourth quarter, Easley
punted from the Aggie 42 to Gar
rard on the Georgia 14, then had
to overtake Garrard and knock him
out of bounds on the Aggie seven.
It was a 79-yard return and set
up the second Georgia touchdown.
Kelly hit the line twice to carry
to the Aggie two, and Madison
slid over for the score. The extra
point try was no good and Georgia
led, 12-7.
After the Aggies had worked the
ball to the Georgia 23 with time
running out, they lost the ball on
downs and it looked as though the
Tigers Stay Unbeaten,
Down Hempstead, 39-0
Bulldogs had won the ball game.
Georgia chose to run the ball,
however, and fumbled on the first
play, with Ray Barrett covering
for the Aggies on the Georgia 27.
Huddleston charged over right
tackle for eight, then Salyer car
ried to the 15. On the next play,
Ellis had three receivers open in
the end zone and hit Salyer for
the touchdown. Kettler added the
extra point again and the Aggies
led, 14-12, with 1:43 left in the
game.
Ellis intercepted Bi’atkowski’s
last minute desperation pass and
A&M ran out the clock on center
plunges.

Pint-sized Johnny Salyer and
A&M’s offensive and defensive
line received some special notice
after the Aggie’s 14-12 victory over
Georgia in the Cotton Bowl Satur
day night.
Salyer, 5 feet 8, 168 pounds,
played end, fullback and line-back
er, caught the winning touchdown
pass with 1:43 left in the game
and ran back a kickoff 24 yards
to start A&M’s first touchdown
drive.
The little guy rushed for 16
yards on four carries and caught
three passes for 32 yards.
“He’s the biggest little player
I’ve seen,” said Coach Ray George.
“He played at end, fullback, and
linebacker, and if I’d put him at
guard, I think he would have turn
ed in the same kind of game
there.”
Defensive Line Praised
The defensive line that bottled
up Bob Clemens with 25 yards on
seven carries and held Georgia to
90 yards rushing, came in for its
share of compliments in the press
box.
Said one scout who was busily
charting every offensive play run
by the Aggies: “You won’t see a
better defensive line.” “That line
really hits hard,” said another.
George was pleased with the way
the reserve linemen played. Guards
Louis Capt, Bob Gosney and Ray
Barrett and tackles Norb Ohlen-"
dorf, Foster Teague and Jack
Powell did some standout work in
the Aggie front line when the
first-stringers were resting.
Bill Schroeder and Larry Win
kler turned in several resounding
downfield blocks. Both of them
teamed up to lay a shattering block
on Georgia’e Howard Kelly on a
Don Ellis pass interception. Win
kler turned in a beauty on Billy
Huddleston’s 31-yard dash in the
first quarter. Schroeder and El
wood Kettler laid out Georgia play
ers on Ellis’ 24-yard punt return.
George Quits Woi’rying
After the game George said,
“Now I can quit worrying until
6:30 tomorrow morning (Sunday),
when I have to start thinking about
Texas Tech.”
Speaking of the way the Aggies
came back after the first Bulldog
touchdown, George said, “It looked
like the boys just made up their
minds to do something when they
got scored on.”
A&M drove 51 yards in 10 plays,
all on the ground, for their first
score. “That’s one of the advan
tages of one platoon football,” said
George. “After Georgia scored on
us in the third quarter, our boys
got mad and got down to work.
The team that was scored on went
right out and got the touchdown
back.”
Ellis, rushed badly at times in
the first half, completed seven of
18 passes for 76 yards. He now
has a season record of 29 comple
tions out of 57 passes for 324
yards.
In the second half Ellis hit on
four of nine passes for 49 yards.
George explained that a change in
blocking assignments in the second
half gave Ellis more time on his
passes.

m
EASLEY ON THE MOVE—Late in the fourth quarter, Bob Easley runs wide around left
end from punt formation for 14 yards and first down to keep Aggies in possession of
ball. Elwood Kettler (25) heads up field as Malinowski (80) makes futile effort to get in
the play.
Kittens Win 13-6
Over Huntsville
A 60-yard drive and a recovered
fumble gave the A&M Consolidated
junior high school Kittens a 13-6
win over Huntsville junior high
school Thursday night.
The Kittens drove for a touch
down on five plays from their own
40-yard line two minutes before
the end of the first half.
John Martinez sprinted 35 yards
around right end to the Huntsville
25. Martinez passed 10 yards to
Bill Kavanaugh. Three plays later
Martinez scored from the four on
an end run.
After the fumble recovery on the
Huntsville five-yard line, Kava
naugh scored on a line buck. Rich
ard Allen passed to Virgil Arnold
for the extra point, giving the Kit
tens a 13-0 lead.
Huntsville returned the kickoff
for their touchdown and missed*the
extra point.
