Tuesday, March 30, 1954 THE BATTALION " Page 3 Scott-Led Whites Stun Maroons 19-0 By CHUCK NEIGHBORS Battalion Sports Editor Don Watson, a surprise halfback sensation, carried the brunt of an astonishingly strong White attack all the way to a 19-0 win over the burly-lined Maroons Saturday night on Kyle field. Part of the annual Sports Day activities, the intra-squad game was a preview of Aggie football fortunes for the coming year for 7,000 fans. Charley Scott*, fresh man quarterback who was booed off the field by cadet fans in an unusual lack of spirit during the TCU Wogs game last fall, redeem ed himself and then some by spark ing an attack which the Maroon Against Hornets Tigers’ Cooner Strikes Out 11; CHS Wins 3-1 A&M Consolidated’s Pinky Cooner struck out 11, afid gave up only three hits to lead the Tigers to a 3-1 win over the Huntsville Hornets Fri day afternoon on Tiger field. Bobby Carter’s hit in the third frame got away from the Hunts ville second baseman and in the ensuing confusion, J. B. Carroll and David Bonnen scored for the Tigers. Huntsville^ gave up four- walks, two wild pitches, two passed balls and an error in the third inn ing to allow Consolidated’s runs. Consolidated plays Allen acade my this afternoon at 3:30 on Tiger- field. In season play, the Tigers have won five games and lost none. CHS Huntsville squad sometimes blunted but nev er quite stopped. Bob Easley threw his hefty shoulder into the White effort and carried nine times for 48 yards on the Scott-generaled team. Watson was the outstanding White runner, however, with 107 yards in seven onslaughts against the Maroon line. Fo^- the Maroons, who had seven regulars playing for them, Elwood Kettler’s 56 yards in 10 tries led the team. With Kettler leading them, the Maroons threatened once. They ended a 56 yard drive on the White’s 16, where they gave the ball up on downs. Five players were out of the line up because of injuries suffered in practice. They were quarterbacks Charley Ritchey and Ronald Rob bins, halfbacks Joe Boring and Tommy Strait and center Cary Wofford. Ags, TU Lead Diamond Loop With 2-0 Count The Aggie varsity diamond squad is tied with the University of Tex as for an early lead in Southwest conference baseball competition. The Langhorns downed Baylor twice and the Aggies toppled the Rice Owls twice in a two-game ser ies here last week. In the final game here Saturday afternoon, Lefty Joe Hardgrove pitched a five hitter to slide past the Owls 3-2. Friday, speedball artist Jerry Nelson swooshed an 8-3 win past the hapless Owls from Houston. The Aggies’ next conference game is with SMU in Dallas Friday and Saturday. Their next home game is April 6 here against U of H’s Cougars who downed Minnesota’s gophers in two straight games. The Gophers ad ministered the Aggies’ first two defeat of the season last week, 5-2 and 4-3.

The resulting line is heavier, stronger, and most rust and corrosion resistant. It is easier to read, easiest to clean, and won’t sur face crack, chip, or peel. Only Lufkin tapes are available with Chrome Clad. THE jUFK/N RULE CO. Saginaw, Michigan The lufkin Rule Co., Saginaw, Michigan Please send me your illustrated catalog of measuring topes and rules.
