‘What a Day for Rain’
The Aggies engaged in short sig
nal drills and listened to scouting
reports Monday as they began
preparations for the Saturday
clash with the Rice Owls in Hous
ton.
Elwood Kettler remained on the
doubtful player list as Louis Capt
returned to action and the Cadets
came out of the SMU encounter
without additional injuries.
Commenting on the forthcoming
game with Rice, Coach Ray George
said the Aggies will put out with
everything they have.
“I always think we’ve got a pret
ty good chance. We’ll go right
after them,” George said.
Rain, Cold and Ponies
In the 23-0 SMU victory over the
Aggies Saturday, it was simply a
case of too much cold, too much
rain, and too much Mustang line.
The Aggies took the opening
kickoff in the end zone and killed
the ball there. On the second play
from scrimmage, Don Kachtik fum
bled on the Aggie 20 and Gunlock
recovered for the Ponies.
From the 17, SMU quarterback
Nutt passed twice incomplete to Ed
Bernet, then hit him in the end
zone for the counter. Bernet’s try
for the point was wide to the left,
and the Mustangs led 6-0 less than
three minutes deep in the game.
Kept bottled up deep in their
own territory fpr most of the first
half, the Aggies started a drive
late in the second period, only to
have time run out with the ball on
the Mustang 24.
The wet ball prevented either

By JERRY WIZIG
Associate Sports Editor
A&M’s football team, after a
great start, is now finding out
what Arkansas and TCU discover
ed earlier in the season: It takes
a winner to get a big play on the
Sunday and Monday sports pages.
A great start in which they won
four and tied one of their first five
games caused the Aggies to emerge
as one of the surprises of the 1953
season. But now that they have
lost three in a row, the out-of-town
papers have greatly sliced their
coverage of Aggie games.
For instance, after the SMU
game, only one out-of-town report
er covered the Aggie dressing
room, which was covered by five
or six reporters during the Cadet
winning streak.
Yes, it’s great to be a winner.
Naturally, there was little shout
ing in the Aggie dressing room
after the 23-0 defeat Saturday.
The players quietly went about the
dreary business of taking off their
rain-soaked uniforms.
‘A ’ Field Wins 6-0
Over Squadron 10
A field artillery used six plays to
end a 40-yard scoring drive and
squeeze past squadron 10, 6-0 in in
tramural football yesterday. •
In the first half Bob Sanders of
A field pitched to Andy Beakey
for 15 yards. Gene Andrews took
the handoff from Sanders and
went around his left end for 12
more yards.
Sanders passed to Beakey in the
end zone for the sole tally. San
ders point after touchdown was no
good.
Fuzz Patterson received the ball
on squadron 10’s goal line and ran
out to the 15 before being stopped.
Tom Skrabanek of squadron 10
was caught from behind and
thrown for a five yard loss. On
the next play Skrabanek tossed to
Doug Scott for a 30 yard gain.
Skrabanek scampered his left
end down to A field’s 10-yard line
as the half ended.
In the second half Patterson
brought the kick-off back to his
own 15-yard line.
On the final play of the ball
game, Skrabanek crossed the 50-
yard line to be stopped on A field’s
30-yard line.
The Physical Education club took
a 13-7 win over the Range and
Forestry club only to forfeit the
game afterwards.
The P. E. club did not make
known the fact of an ineligible
player until the end of the game.
Their reason was that they wished
to have enjoyment of playing the
game before conceding.
Basketball
A signal’s Chuck Brooks scored
five points to help his unit sneak
past B Field artillery, 15-8.
R. N. Hayes was high point man
for B field with six points.
Rollins Rubsamen and Ronnie

to help A armor beat squadron 5,
19-7.
Squadron 13’s Stan Baker drop
ped nine points to help his unit
outscore A transportation corps,
22-14.
Fred Galley was high man for
A transportation with five points.
B infantry’s Ken Wood scored

margin over ASA. Sid Pitzer was
high man for ASA with six points.
Bowling
A field artillery’s Jack Rowe,
Ben K. Trector and Bill Utzman
romped over squadron 4’s Frank

A engineer’s Jim Monical, Jim

Wheatley was high man for A
engineers with 177 while Jochen
was high man for squadron 5 with

Intramural officials and referees
are not always right but should
be given the full consideration of
all players and persons not playing
on the field said Barney Welch,
director of intramural athletics.
More stress should be made on
the fact that players are not to
tackle, shove or illegally use their
hands but only with intention of
getting hold of the ball or flag
said Welch.
He said that there will be a clos
er watch for rule violations during
this intramural football season.

“What a heck of a day for it to
rain,” said quarterback Don Ellis.
“We just couldn’t open up their
seven man line for our running.
They had a bigger line and a big
ger team and took advantage of
it,” he said.
Sunshine in Washington
“I sure wish it had been sunshine
here,” Ellis said, when told of the
clear weather in Washington for
the TCU-Washington State game.
He praised the play of SMU’s Dar
rell Lafitte, Duane Nutt and Frank
Eidom.
“They’ve got it, if they can just
bounce back,” said coach Dalton
Faircloth, speaking of the Aggies.
“I still think we can beat Rice, and
I believe we’re going to play some
good football again this season.”
Faircloth gave Connie Magouirk
a verbal pat on the back and also
expressed satisfaction over the
play of quarterback Dave Smith.
Smith took over for Ellis in the
second half and completed 3 of 8
passes for 51 yards.
Rain Hurts
“The rain seemed to hurt our
passing,” said tackle Larry Win
kler. “I think we’ll come back
against Rice,” he added.
“That danged Eidom was always
around,” said back Billy Pete Hud
dleston.
“The Aggies stack up way below
Texas,” said SMU quarterback
Duane Nutt. “There is no com
parison between the two lines.
Broussard did a good job, and Ma
gouirk played a good game. Bor
ing’s kicking kept us in the hole a
lot of the time,” he said.
Eidom Won’t Compare
Frank Eidom said, “I hate to
compare Texas against A&M. The
mud hurt the Aggies a loti Ma
gouirk played hard and ran hard,
and Boring kicked some beautiful
punts.”
“The Texas line is a little bet
ter,” said tackle Lou Miller. The
Texas backs ran harder, and Texas
had a better ball club,” he added.
“Tate was pretty fair and was
fast.” "
Mustang coach Woody Woodard
said, “A&M isn’t quite as big as
Texas. The Aggies have a good
line, but it’s not quite as power
ful as the Texas line.”
Woodard singled out Durwood
Scott and Don Kachtik as top Ca
det players.

Barrel-chested James Blaine

by a wider margin than ever
A few weeks after the Japanese
surrender in World War II, the Hum
ble Company introduced a vastly
improved Esso Extra gasoline to Texas
motorists.
At that time, the Company prom
ised a policy of continuous improve
ment: Humble told motorists that
Esso Extra would never take second
place in quality.
That promise has been kept. Im
provement of Esso Extra has been
continuous. Statewide, Esso Extra has
consistently led other Texas gasolines
in quality. Statewide, Esso Extra has
been No. 1 in quality every year.
And now, because Texas motorists
driving modern automobiles have
learned that Esso Extra gives them
extra performance, Esso Extra is also
No. 1 in sales.
The improvement in the quality of
Esso Extra announced by this adver
tisement is substantial — it is a major
improvement. It places Esso Extra far
ahead of other gasolines in the quali
ties that are reflected by performance
in your car.
Today, Esso Extra gasoline is No. 1
in Texas by a wider margin than ever
before.
Now the BEST
gasoline in Texas
is even BETTER!
£sso Extra gasoline, statewide,
has consistently led all other Texas gasolines in qaalityj
now, new improvements have widened the margin between
Esso Extra and the rest: Humble Esso Extra has no equal
throughout the state of Texas.
Tests prove £$S© lEltfra'S superior qutsHfy!
There are three qualities of a gaso
line that are brought out in the per
formance of your car. In all these
three qualities, Esso Extra leads.
Extensive and continuous labora
tory testing of Esso Extra and other
gasolines proves Esso Extra’s su
perior qualities, and these laboratory
tests have been confirmed by road
testing in specially equipped automo
biles.
Esso Extra leads in anti-knock
performance: In today’s automo
bile engines, with their high compres
sion ratios, anti-knock performance
is the most noticeable quality of a
good gasoline. There is no substitute
for this quality. Only a gasoline with
a high octane rating — that is, high
anti-knock performance — burns so
evenly and completely that it trans
fers all the usable energy from the
gasoline to the pistons. When your
car’s engine pings or knocks, you're
losing power. Esso Extra has the
highest anti-knock performance in
Texas.
Esso Extra leads In power: High
anti-knock performance assures
more power. Since Esso Extra has
the highest anti-knock performance
in Texas, it gives you more power
than any other Texas gasoline. This
conclusion has been verified by spe
cial laboratory testing equipment
which actually measures the power
delivered by a gasoline burning in an
automobile engine. Road tests by
both Humble technicians and inde
pendent research facilities have con
firmed the laboratory tests. Your car
will develop extra power when you
use Esso Extra.
Esso Extra leads in quick startl
ing: In comparative tests with other
gasolines, Esso Extra’s quick start
ing characteristics were rated “Excel
lent,” while those of other popular
gasolines ranked from “poor” to
merely “adequate.” When you use
Esso Extra your engine starts at
almost the instant you press the
starter button. But quick starting is
more than a convenience. It saves
gasoline, and it prevents gasoline di
lution of the crankcase oil. If you
use your car mostly for town driving,
you will specially appreciate Esso
Extra’s quick starting qualities.
And for good measure, Esso
Extra contains a patented sol
vent oil: This oil is not a lubricant.
Its purpose is to dissolve the gummy
substances that collect carbon on top
of pistons and under valves, and thus
help to prevent carbon deposits in the
upper parts of the engine.

Esso Extra will give you the same results obtained by
researchers when you test it in your car. Its quality is so
superior that you will notice at once that Esso Extra gives
you extra quick starting, extra anti-knock performance,
extra power.
You’ll discover that you enjoy your car more, that it
runs better, that you’re getting — at last — the perform
ance you expect from a modern automobile. No other
gasoline can duplicate Esso Extra's performance in your
car, because no other gasoline matches Esso Extra's quality.
Fill up with improved Esso Extra gasoline at any Humble
sign — it’s the same extra performance gasoline at every
Humble sign.
