^UALF BACK,
FROM DALLAS
s&.pu.e
Joe Boring, junior right halfback
is the Quarterback club selection
for back of the week.
Recently recovering from a leg
injury which kept him out of sev
eral . games ' and severely handi
capped his play after he returned,
to action, Boring Saturday showed
the form which gained him all
conference honors as a defensive
back in his sophomore year.
Punting with a wet football
against the SMU Mustangs, Boring
kicked five times for a 42.6 yard
average to lead all game punters
by a wide margin.
Although Boring only carried the
ball three times in the contest, on
defense his outstanding play pre
vented the Mustangs from running
up a larger score.
Late in the first quarter, Boring
intercepted a Mustang pass on the
Aggie three yard line to stop a
SMU-goalward thrust.
His defensive game was particu
larly sharp throughout the contest,
and besides batting away several
passes in his area, Boring moved
in to make tackles on Mustang
sweeper plays and thrusts up the
middle.
An all-state tailback at Sunset
high school in Dallas, Boring is
19, stands 6-1, and weighs 167.
After the football season, Bor
ing is expected to add strength to
the Aggie basketball squad, since
he showed up well in spring cage
practice this year.

Mice Win Streak
Stretches Over
8 Long Years
The Rice Owls will be out to
keep the longest winning streak
involving- a series between two
conference schools unbroken ■ when
they play host to A&M at Rice sta
dium Saturday afternoon.
The Owls have won eight straight
from the Cadets, whose last victory
came in 1944. A&M enjoys the
edge in the over-all record of 20
victories to 14, with three tie
games in the series.
A crowd of at least 55,000 is ex
pected for the Owls’ homecoming
contest. That estimate may be
raised later in the week, as attend
ance always is good for this South
Texas classic in Houston.
There is considerable color at
tached to the Rice^Aggie game. It
will be homecoming for Rice with
many attendant activities—crown
ing of the Homecoming Queen at
htlftime, Rice — A&M freshman
game on Friday night, and Corps
trip and downtown parade for the
Aggies on Saturday morning.
But the big attraction, of course,
is the varsity grid game itself be
tween these two long time rivals.
Jess Neely, veteran Rice coach
who is dean of the head coaches of
the Southwest Conference, sends an
experienced club against the Ag
gies the features a strong ground
attack paced by leading ground
gainer, fullback “Kosse” Johnson
of Baytown. The Owls have a lug
ged line that features tri-captain
Dick Chapman at tackle, John
Hudson at guard, and Leo Rucka
at center.
A&M, with Ray George at the
helm, relies on quarterback Don
Ellis to spark a potent offense,
with a Houstonian, fullback Bob
Easley, one of a host of stellar
Aggie Hunning backs. The Aggies
have a line that is much stronger
than was expected. It features
such top hands as Fred Broussard,
Marvin Tate and Sid Theriot.

“Serving Texas Aggies”
Marvin Tate, A&M’s starting
right guard, is the Quarterback
club lineman of the week for his
stand-out play in thf* SMU game.
A 182-pound junior from Abi
lene, Tate has combined with Sid
Theriot to give the Aggies some of
the best guard play in the South
west conference this season. Both
have been widely mentioned for
all-conference honors.
Tate was a sophomore regular
last year, playing offense and de
fense. He got in 319 minutes of
playing time, more than . any oth
er player except Don Ellis.
Often outweighed by the line
men playing opposite him, Tate
uses his speed and hard-hitting
aggressiveness to make up for his
lack of heft. One of the fastest
linemen on the squad and probably
one of the fastest in the conference,
he often is the first Cadet to hit
enemy ball-carriers on kickoffs and
punt returns.
His speed also makes Tate very
effective on wide plays, both by
the Aggies and the opposition. He
is fast enough to get downfield to
clear the way for A&M’s backs.
Opposition and runs have often
been slowed down when Tate cames
charging through.
Against SMU Tate charged
through on an end run to the op
posite side and caught the ball
carrier. On the last play of the
third quarter, he fought off Mus
tang blockers to down Frank Eidon
on the Aggie 7 and stave off a
Pony touchdown.
In the - second quarter Tate pull
ed out of the line and laid down
a hard downfield block that helped
clear the way for a 16 yard run by
Connie Magouirk.
Tate was an all-state high school
guard at Abilene. He is married
and is the father of a boy.

25 years of wonderful entertainment. . . . The finest that can be found
the whole year round. This record can only be matched by the Texas
Aggie football team.
Mrs. Edna Schulman, owner, and her son, Bill, who is manager of the
three theatres of Bryan, have been supporting the Texas Aggies ever since
they have been in Bryan.
The Schulmans started in the movie business some 25 years ago at
the location of the present Palace Theatre. The old building was torn
down and replaced by the present modern structure. By showing the best
in first run movies, the Schulmans have been able to expand and now in
clude the Queen and the Dixie.
The Schulmans have only two aims for the future:
1. To continue to give only the best in top notch movie entertainment.
2. To continue to support the Texas Aggies.
