drive in six plays by the Fish.
The Wogs took a 6-0 lead in the
first quarter with a 79-yard drive
in 12 plays. Quarterback Charles
Curtis hit end Keith Miles with a
29-yard scoring pass with 8:17 to
play in the period.

point try. Keith’s conversion try

and 88 passing for 232 yards.
Keith was the game’s leading

played a fine game at linebacker on
defense.
Fullback Henry Crowsey picked
up 41 yards in 13 carries for the
Wogs. Curtis completed four of
eight passes for 69 yards.
Rand Replaces Scott
Glenn Rand, a polished little ball-
handler from Groesbeck, replaced
Charles Scott at quarterback in
the first quarter when Scott was
hit hard after he had gotten away
a punt.
Rand’s slick faking and play
calling paved the way for Pardee
and Keith.
A 63-yard march by the Fish in
the fourth quarter was stopped on
the Wog eight-yard line.' The
drive started from the Fish 29 af
ter a punt and carried for four
first downs and 15 plays. Pardee

The Way It Looks From Here

College View Takes
’Mural Grid Contest
By JERRY WIZIG
Battalion Sports Staff
The biggest football Saturday
of the season inside the conference
is scheduled for Southwest confer
ence teams this week with three
league games on the slate.
Here are this week’s predictions:
A&M over TCU.
SMU over Rice.
Arkansas over Texas.
Baylor over Vanderbilt.
The Aggie-Horned Frog game
might draw the largest crowd that
has ever seen a football game in
Fort Worth. Newly-enlarged Amon
Chrter stadium now seats 37,000,
and interest in the Frogs after
their great effort against Michigan
State should reach a new high for
the season.
Might Be High-Scoring
This game might turn into a
high-scoring offensive battle, in
spite of the low scores prevailing
in previous Aggie games. TCU
showed last week that it has a
fine offense. Ray M.cKown and
Malvin Fowler give’ the Frogs a
great one-two punch at quarter
back. Ron Clinkscale is a fine
breakaway runner.
A&M has one of the great de
fensive lines in this area. And it
is the line that should make the
difference in this one. Don Ellis,
keeping his, throwing arm under
wraps against Texas Tech, should
'and will probably open up Satur
day. We look for the Aggies to
play their best game of the sea
son, and hope we don’t put the
“whammy” on them.
Rice, the preseason choice for
the title, takes on a Mustang team
that has shown tremendous possi
bilities under a new coach. The
Mustangs have the best defensive
record in the country, giving up
just 266 yards in their two games.
Rice has an offense that is seventh
in the country in rushing and 12th
in total offense.
We look for SMU, led by Jerry
Norton and Frank Eidom, to edge
the Owls in a thriller.
Sophomore Charles Brewer has
been elevated to the starting* quar
terback spot at Texas. But Brew
er doesn’t have the experience re
quired of a college quarterback.
Arkansas appears on the way back
to sectional prominence under new
coach Bowden Wyatt.
The Hogs put up a tremendous
fight against Baylor. Now that
they know they can play on even
terms with the top teams, the Hogs
should be plenty tough. And don’t
forget Lamar McHan. A solid
vote for Arkansas in an upset.
Baylor 20 Point Choice
Baylor has been made a 20 point
favorite over an erratic Vander
bilt team in the conference’s only
intersectional game. The odds-
makers seem to have forgotten
Bill Krietemeyer, the sensational
young Commodore passing star.
He passed for 999 yards last year
as a freshman.
After a hard game last week
against Arkansas and with the
important A&M game coming up
next week, the Bears don’t figure
to play one . of their best games.
Baylor to win, in a close, high-
scoring offensive battle.

Baylor Bears
Favored Over
Weak Vandy
WACO, Oct. 15 — (A*) — Baylor
goes after its fourth straight vic
tory tomorrow and the Bears are
a heavy favorite to add winless
Vanderbilt to their string of foot
ball victims.

watch Baylor wind up its inter
sectional schedule for the year.
Baylor has brushed off Califor
nia, Miami and Arkansas so far
this season.
Vanderbilt has been beaten by
Penn, Alabama and Mississippi.
One reason why Baylor’s a big
favorite: Baylor beat California,
25-0; Penn beat Vanderbilt, 13-7;
California beat Penn, 40-0.
Kittens Play Tie
Game With Hearne
A&M Consolidated Kittens were
held last night to a 6-6 tie by
Hearne.
The Kittens, out-weighed and
out-numbered, moved inside the
Hearne 10 yard line four times
but could score only once.
Hearne scored early in the game
on an 85-yard end run.
The Kittens came back and scor
ed a minute before 1 half-time on a
drive climaxed by a one-yard scor
ing dive by Billy Kavanaugh.
Consolidated drove to the eight
with two minutes left in the game,
only to be stopped short of a
touchdown. A pass from Edgar
Feldman to Virgil Arnold was good
for 60 yards in this drive.
Herbert Cowham of Conway and
company bowled a 247 for the
highest game Thursday night in the
All-Star League. Cowham also
bowled the highest individual ser
ies with a 635.
The Conway and company team
bowled games of 924, 985 and 940
for the highest team series of 2849.
