THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1954
Off To A. Good Start
The civilian students are well on their
way to establishing a student program of
their own here, if yesterday’s election is
an indication.
A high percentage of non-regs turned out
to vote for dormitory representatives, which
was the first step toward forming the Civ
ilian Council.
The council will be elected from the rep
resentatives chosen yesterday.
Of course, it was easy for the civilian
students to vote—ballots were handed out
in the dormitories, instead of having a cen
tral voting place, as in general student elec
tions.
A lot of credit for the success of the
election goes to the housemasters and the
personnel of the student affairs office, who
did the mechanical work.
But still, the students themselves showed
an interest in the election, which means that
they are interested in bettering their life
here.
They aren’t through yet; there is a lot
of hard work ahead before the civilian stu
dent life program is on its feet. The civil
ian student council has to be set up and op
erating, and here again the students will
have to show their interest.
But they’re off to a good start.
In Memorium
The Battalion would like to add its con-
dolances on the death of E. W. Harrison,
board of directors member. He worked for
A&M for many years, often without credit.
Many improvements here are the result of
his efforts, and the school is a better place
because he served it well.

Scores in Each Quarter
Show Squad Has Depth
Scoring- in every quarter, A&M’s Fish footballers, all
six teams of them, showed that better days are on the way
as they smashed to a 31-6 win last night over University of
Houston’s freshmen.
About 5,000 fans came to Kyle field to see the results
of one of the most intensive
recruiting jobs in A & M’s
athletic history and those
that braved the heavy rain
that fell off and on weren’t
disappointed.
Coach Paul Bryant used 64 play
ers to Houston’s 32, and Aggie
supporters will be saying “wait
’til next year” with excellent rea
son after last night’s display of
power and speed.
Five different players scored the
five A&M touchdowns — fullback
Ken Hall on a 62 yard burst over
right tackle, halfback Donald
Grant on a 1-yard center smash,
halfback John Crowe on a beauti
ful 60 yard return of an intercep
ted pass, halfback Ed Dudley on a
23 yard end run and end Dean
Meeks, who recovered a blocked
punt in the Houston end zone.
Dudley Leading Rusher
Dudley was the game’s leading
rusher, with 72 yards in 12 tries.
Hall traveled 62 yards in 3 carries,
and Crowe went 53 in 4. The Fish
ripped through Kitten defense for
230 yards on the ground and in
tercepted 5 of the 12 passes Hous
ton threw. Houston got 83 yards
on the ground and 41 yards on two
completed passes.
First downs were 10 to 8 in fa
vor of the Fish.
Dudley and center Bobby Holder,
who both played outstanding
games, must have made assistant
coach Tom Trpps feel good. Tipps
coached them last year at Pampa.
A&M’s starting backfield of
Jimmy Wright at quarterback,
Crowe and Dudley at halfbacks and
Ijall at fullback must have brought
smiles to the faces of Bryant and
his assistants. The starting line
of ends Bobby Marks and Roger
Hobson, tackles Jim Stanley and
A. L. Simmons, guards Norman
Noble and Paul Lillard, and cen
ter Gary Martin can take their
share of credit, too.
Master At Split-T
Wright looked like a master of
tjhe split-T running attack last
qight. His ballhandling and dun
ning on optional plays were beau
tiful, and his timing and execu
tion on the straight ahead slants
qt the tackles by Crowe, Hall and
Dudley looked perfect.
Last but not least for the Fish
was guard Howell Trimble of
Hanceville, Ala., who has only one
hand. He played a linebacker on
defense and right guard on offense.
Bobby Conrad, second team quar
terback, showed fine prowess on
keepers and was a great punter.
Hall’s opening touchdown came
