the Cadets outhustled the more ex
perienced Longhorns and led 32-
27 in the third quarter.
The Fish sped to a 65-48 win
over the Shorthorns in the curtain-
raiser, their fifth victory in six

In losing their 11th game against
one win, the Cadets led 13-11 at
the end of the first quarter and
21-19 at the half. In the last two
and a half minutes of the third
quarter, the Staers stampeded from
behind that
32-27 deficit to tie

when the Houston A&M club dis
cussed rehiring Ray George under
a long term contract.
Reports also indicate the Dallas
A&M club might have similar feel
ings about George.
With the comparative security oI
a two or three year contract,
George might consider accepting if
an actual offer is made to him.
But. if he does, he certainly must
ha ve the hide of a rhinoceros.
It must be extremely tiresome
to George to be bounced around
like a ping pong ball with all this
on-again, off-again talk.
With the athletic council schedul
ed to meet Thursday, it is possible
the new head coach may be named
at that time. However, W. L
Penbertliy, council chairman, said
yesterday the group will not make
a. final selection at the conference,
but that they would only discuss
the various head coach prospects.
Candidate mentioned most often
thus far is J. V. (Siki) Sikes, who
resigned as head football coach at
Kansas Univei’sity in December
after a poor season.
Others confirmed as having been
interviewed for the post are H. N.
(Rusty) Russell of Schreiner In
stitute; Jim Tatum of Maryland;
and Earl (Red) Blaik of Army.
Russell, head coach at SMU in
1952, is also being considered for
the Kansas job vacated by Sikes.
Neither Tatum nor Blaik seem
to be interested in the chance to
come to A&M, and for very good
reasons.
Tatum is riding, high,at Mary
land, where his team last season
finished number one in the nation
on the Associated Press raking list.
Blaik is in the process of re-

Others unofficially mentioned in
the race for the Aggie coaching
position have been Dick Todd and
Milburn (Catfish) Smith, and both
can be considered top candidates.
Todd, currently on the staff at
SML T , is popular among Aggie fol
lowers and for a time was coach
of the Washington Redskins pro
fessional football team. He was a
grid star for the Aggies in the
middle thirties, and should be a
capable head coach. ■

31,000 ACTUAL STUDENT INTERVIEWS
SHOW COLLEGE SMOKERS PREFER LUCKIES
TO ALL OTHER BRANDS!
In 1952, a survey of colleges
thr oughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette. In
1953, another far more extensive
and comprehensive survey—super
vised by college professors and
based on more than 31,000 actual
student interviews —once again
proves Luckies’ overwhelming pop
ularity. Yes, Luckies lead again over
all other brands, regular or king size
.,, and by a wide margin! The num
ber-one reason: Luckies’ better taste!
