Thursday.. October 22, 1953 TH EBATTALIOM Page RampantTigers Seek Seventh Straight Win The rampaging Consolidated Ti gers go after their third district win and their seventh victory of the season when they meet Katy high school Friday night in Katy. Riding the crest of a tremendous scoring and defensive record, the Tigers will be heavy favorites to add Katy to their string of grid victims. In their six victories, Consoli dated has rolled up a total of 288 points for an average of 48 points per contest, while holding the op position to seven points. The lone score made against the Tigers came on a kickoff return for a touchdown by the Navasota Rat tlers. 332 Yard Average The Tigers have amassed 1,992 yards for a per game average of 332 yards, and have given up only 516 yards in six games for a de fensive record of 86 yards per con test. J. B. Carroll, Tiger extra point specialist who gets a lot of prac tice, has booted 27 conversion points to lead all central Texas players in that department. Lead ing Consolidated’s high scoring parade are David Bonnen and Bob by Joe Wade, both of whom have totaled 48 points. In the Katy contest, Melvin Free’s tackle post will be filled by Charles Johnson. Free suffered a back injury in the 49-0 victory over Waller, and will be out for the remainder of the season.

Wins26-12 Guards Louis Copt, Sid Theriot, Marvin Tate and Ray Barrett Ray George Puzzled by Backs; SeveralComfosnalionsMayStart By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sport Staff Head football coach Ray George is a puzzled man this week. He doesn’t know who is going to be in the starting backfield against Bay lor except at quarterback. If Joe Boring is in top shape after missing the last two games with a leg injury, he may start at one halfback. If the Aggies kickoff, Boring’s starting chances will be much better because of his fine de fensive ability. Bob Easley and Don Kachtik will start at fullback if Boring starts. Connie Magourik, Elwood Ket- tler or Billy Pete Huddleston will start at the other halfback. Ma- gouirk put on a fine offensive and defensive performance against TC U and is a likely prospect. One thing is certain about A&M’s backfield, however. Don Ellis will start at quarterback. Ellis is the Southwest conference scoring leader with 31 points on five touchdowns and an extra point. He has passed for three other scores, thus accounting for 49 of A&M’s 82 points this season. Ellis was selected in the United Press backfield of the week after the TCU game. Asked about the effect of rain on A&M’s chances Saturday, George said, “It’ll rain on both sides of the field. I’m hoping for good weather, but rain would hurt them just as much as us.” “I hope that Ellis gets to run a lot,” said George. “That way we can control the ball, and we’re go ing to have to hold the ball to win.” A&M’s defense is 10th in the na tion, giving up 186.2 yards per game to five opponents. In Boring and Ellis the Aggies have two of the best defensive backs in the conference.
