Friday, April 2, 1954 THE BATTALION Page 3 Maroons Win 7-0 In Last Practice By GHUCK NEIGHBORS Battalion Sports Editor Dave Smith plunged over from the one yard line six minutes deep in the second quarter last night to give the Maroons a revenge win over the Whites as A&M football spring practice ended. The score came after a 68 yard drive lasting nine plays which was started when Don Watson went to his right and scrambled 30 yards to the White 38 yard line. Only a shoestring tackle by Bobby Keith kept him from going all the way. Smith kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0 which is the way the game ended. TODAY and SATURDAY ALL ACTION! ALL NEW!

El wood Kettler was starting quarterback for the Whites but was hurt in the second quarter when big Fred Broussard slam med into him and injured his back. Schero took over after Kettler left the game. A sparse crowd of perhaps 500 fans watched the first half of the game but most of them left the stadium with the teams at halftime and didn’t return. The game, which was closed to everyone but students and faculty and staff members, turned into a fumble fest in the last half, with the Whites fumbling deep in Ma roon territory, and when the Ma roons recovered, they in return fumbled and the Whites recovered only to fumble again. While the team has improved g»eatly, they still have lots of room for further improvement next fall.
