Fish. Try Comeback
Against Wogs Tonight
Two of their best teams in recent
years will take the field when the
A&M Fish meet the TCU Polliwogs
tonight, at Kyle Field.
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. Hold
ers of coupon books or ID cards
will be admitted. Admission tick
ets are $1.
The Fish will be trying to re
bound after a hard-fought 14-7
loss last week to the Baylor Cubs.
The Wogs ran over John Tarleton
State, 40-0, last week after the
Fish had beaten them, 34-0, in the
season opener.
Wog coach Fred Taylor has call
ed his team the best one of recent
years at TCU. Thirty-one players
won all-district honors in high
school, and the 39 man squad won
a total of 296 high school letters.
Curtis Quarterback
TCU’s split T formation has
Charles Curtis at quarterback,
James Swink and Dave Rutherford
at the halfbacks and Jack Webb at
fullback.
Webb was an all-stater at Fort
Worth’s North Side and was named
the outstanding back of the
coaches’ school all-star game at
Houston in August.
Norman Hamilton, 220 pound
guard from Vanderbilt, was on the
all-state team for two years. He
heads a line that averages 210
pounds per man.
The Fish muffed several scoring
chances against the Cubs. A fast
charging Cub line also held the
ground game in check at vital
spots in the game.
Pardee Leads Fish
Pounding Jack Pardee is the
leading ground gainer for the Fish
with 165 yards on 27 carries.
Against Tarleton, he bulled his way
for 97 yards on nine tries. He pick-
et|, up 68 yards on 18 carries
against the Cubs.
“We did all right against Bqy-
lor. Freshmen teams just aren’t
polished ball clubs,” said Willie

Right guard Lloyd Hale, a stand
out in both games, may miss the

practice. Jim Martin, 200 pounder
from Houston, would replace him.

“A&M is definitely a title con
tender if everybody will play to
gether and stay in top shape,” said
Sinclair.
“I think that the winner of the

be undefeated.”

touchdown and an 11.4 yard aver

Sports Editor Learns
Fat Wiallot Needed
For Ag 1 Hoad
By BOB BORISKIE
Battalion Sports Editor
The Battalion has full authority to cover Aggie football
games on the road, provided the student writer makes the
trip on his own.
This policy, or rather lack of policy, was recently re
vealed when v/e applied for the trip to Lubbock to cover the
Aggie-Texas Tech game for The Battalion.
Barlow (Bones) Irvin, athletic director, told us that it
simply wasn’t college policy to take student writers on such
trips.
He took out a pencil and accounted for every seat on the
plane. In fact, he came out with a surplus phssenger, with 49
names to fill 48 seats.
Furthermore, he told us, our best
bet would be to get student activi
ties to pay our expenses for games
away from home.
Since it obviously was impossible
to make the Lubbock trip, we began,
to wonder about the game in Little
Rock with Arkansas later in the
season.
“Suppose,” we asked, “that we
get student activities to sponsor us
for the Arkansas game. Will we
have a chance to get on that plane?”
“Well, no,” Irvin answered, and
that was that.
Which leads up up to the Jack
Gallagher column on the sports page
of Wednesday’s Houston Post.
Gallagher quotes several pas
sages from a new sports book by
Richard I. Miller, titled, “The Truth
About Big-Time Football,” and dis
cusses them freely.

“Football Demands Lot of Time’
Miller further says, “Big-time
football demands an enormous
chunk of the student’s time,” to
which Gallagher answers, “So does
every other campus activity. For
example, you’ll find that a'*person
holding an executive position on a
student daily newspaper puts in
more time at his job than a foot
ball player. It’s five or six days a
week for most of them for the en
tire school year.”
“In my opinion,” Miller con
tinues, “they (sports writers) favor
continuance of bowl games pri
marily because many get free trips
to one of the b° w l games.”
Gallagher’s report was particul
arly interesting. He said, “This
struck me as the most amusing line
in the book. A team from this area
recently took a trip. There were
52 seats on the plane, only 34
players were taken, plus a few
coaches, student managers, train
ers and sports writers.
“Who occupied the dozen re
