and began sending his players to
the dressing room.
Yesterday Bryant said two or
three Aggies suffered the usual
bumps and bruises, then added, “I
won’t say anybody is out for the
TCU game, although two or three
might like to say they’re hurt bad
inough to miss it.”
Asked about the Aggie players
}n the bench standing throughout
the last half, Bryant said, “I didn’t
notice anything about it—two or
three others asked me about that.
We didn’t ask them to stand, and
I think it’s a good sign they did—
we played better in the second
half.” “I’m proud they did it—
glad my kids were so interested,”
he also said.
Bryant, asked about A&M’s best
players, immediately said, “Ket-
tler—the same player who has
pleased us the most in every other
game.” He said fullback Don
Kachtik showed “pretty good” and
jointed out he played on 39 offen-
:>ive and 54 defensive plays.
Guard Sid Theriot played a “fine
game,” said Bryant and he also
praised tackles Norb Ohlendorf,
Larry Winkler and Bill Schroeder,
r ' ends Gene Stallings and Jack
Pardee, quarterbacks Charlie Scott
and Gene Henderson and halfback
Joe Schero.
After the varsity worked out for
about one and a half hours in
sweat suits, Bryant said he had
made several position changes but
didn’t want them disclosed. The
Aggies worked on defending TCU
plays.
Guard Marvin Tate, who was
hurt on the opening kickoff Sat
urday but came back in, and Kach
tik didn’t practice.
The freshmen had a long work
out yesterday as they readied for
Thursday night’s game in Waco
with the Baylor Cubs.
Saturday night Kettler ran 16
times for 113 yards and completed
two of seven passes for 35 yards,
in the clutch. His total offense
mark now is 380 yards gained on
88 plays. He has gained 207 yards
on 60 carries and has completed
11 of 28 passes for 173 yards.
Houston could return only two of
the four A&M punts, and got just
nine yards on those. A&M still
leads the conference in pass' de
fense, giving up 12 completions in
31 tries for 82 yards, a 20.5 aver
age per game. Houston completed
five of nine for 21 yards.
Each team used only 29 players.
The scoring went like this :
Houston used 21 of the 37
plays in the second quarter with a
73 yard drive which netted six of
their 15 first downs. Led by quar
terback Jimmy Dickey, who drove
the Ags crazy with his expert op
tion plays, Houston marched to the
8 and had fourth down. Then
Dickey rolled out to the right and
passed to the left to end Ronnie
Emberg for the score. Guard Verle
Cray kicked the extra point.
Three plays after the kickoff,
Scott got loose at right end, out
ran all but two Cougars and had
a blocker with him. The blocker
; got one and made the other hesi
tate, but Scott fell on the Cougar
24 as he tried to cut.
Richard Vick then missed a field
goal’ with the line of scrimmage
the 17.
The Cadets took the second half
kickoff and went 62 yards to tie
the game. Kettler passed 33
yards to Sinclair to the 2, then
sneaked over between center Lloyd
Hale and Guard Ray Barrett for
the score. He also kicked the ex
tra point, his first of the year.
In the fourth period, Houston
drove their 34 to the Aggie 11,
stalled, and Cray booted the win
ning field goal on fourth down
from an angle.
Football Talk
Main Topic
At ’39 Reunion
Football talk flowed freely
at the Shamrock hotel when
over 500 people honored the
1939 national champion Aggie
football team Saturday.
Homer Norton, coach of the un
beaten squad, said, “I can still see
them as if it were yesterday,” and
present coach Paul Bryant said,
“I saw them play Tulane in the
Sugar Bowl, and it was one of the
greatest teams I’ve ever witness
ed.”
The ’39 team, which included
two all-Americas, went unbeaten
through a 10-game schedule and
defeated Tulane 14-13 in the Sugar
Bowl. It gave up only 10 points in
the regular season.
Tackle Jim Boyd, now a Baptist
minister, and fullback John Kim
brough were the all-Americas.
Boyd and Cotton Price, who played
quarterback, were team co-cap
tains.
Another co-captain, end Herbie
Smith, was killed in World War II
along with two other team mem
bers, Dorace Moser and Cotton
Williams. The luncheon guests
stood for a moment of silence in
tribute to the three players and
Harry Faulkner, an assistant
coach, now deceased.
Speakers included- Norton, Bry
ant, Boyd, Price, President David
H. Morgan, Gen. A. D. Bruce, pres
ident of the University of Hous
ton and a former A&M student,
Houston coach Clyde Lee, who
played under Norton at Centenary,
Charlie DeWare, the luncheon’s
general chairman and a freshman
coach at A&M in 1939, Marty Ka-
row, backfield coach, Bill James,
line coach, Manning Smith, assis
tant backfield coach, and Lil Dim-
mitt, trainer.

brych, Magnolia beat Consolidated

a try.
Tommy Barker was the leading

Not satisfied with a 13-7 lead
at half time, Magnolia scored four
more times in the final half.
Magnolia scored first when Ol
brych broke through the middle of
the Tiger line and ran 52 yards
for a touchdown. The try for the
extra point was low, and Mag
nolia had a 6-0 margin with four
minutes left in the first quarter.
Just 50 seconds later, Olbrych
bounded back into the end zone,
on a 25-yard sprint. Bobby Parker
made the point try, and the score
stood at 13-0.
This drive started with Bobby
Seal’s recovery on a Consolidated
fumble on the Tiger 43.
CHS got their lone score with
55 seconds left in the half, when
J. B. Carroll’s 11-yard pass con
nected with Travis Engelbrecht in
the end zone. Carroll booted the
extra point.
A 57-yard run by Barker put the
Tigers in position for the score.
M]agnolia picked up two more
touchdowns in the final minutes
of the third quarter.
Olbrych, again, romped 32 yards
to cap a 79-yard drive to Consoli
dated’s goal four minutes before
the end of the quarter. Parker
converted.
A pass from Gerald Applegate
to Buddy Dial covered 60 yards
for the next Bulldog score. A
fumbled snap-back halted the ex
tra poiqt try.
With one minute, 23 seconds left
to play Olbrych ended his scoring
for the night with a six yard drive
for a touchdown.
The Tiger line reached for the
conversion try, blocking it.

you driv/e -for -the sheer zest of it
you owe yoursel-f
-this hour!
If your hands rejoice in the pre
cise balance of a fine gun or the
sweet response of a racing sloop
. . . then you owe yourself an hour with
the Chevrolet Corvette.
You’ll find it is, quite literally, like no
other car in the world—a heart-lifting blend
of the true sports car with all that is best
in American engineering.
There is the velvet smoothness of a
Powerglide automatic transmission (but
with the classic floor selector-lever).
The trouble-free durability of a Chev
rolet “Blue-Flame” engine (but with three
side draft carburetors to unleash its flash
ing 150 horsepower).
The ruggedness of an X-braced box
girder frame (but with the astonishing im
pact resistance of a glass-fiber-and-plastic
body).
Luxurious seating for driver and passen
ger in deep foam rubber (but cradled in
the traditional security of bucket seats).
Generous luggage room, the panoramic
sweep of a deeply curved windshield, the
flair of tomorrow’s styling (but within the
polo-pony compactness of a real road car).
The Corvette blends all this and more.
For it is a driver’s car ... a low-slung
torpedo with a center of gravity only 18
inches above the concrete . . . with outrig
ger rear springs that make it hold to the
road like a stripe of paint . . . with a 16 to
Make a date 4o drive the
1 steering ratio that puts needle-threading
accuracy at your finger tips.
Frankly, the Corvette is a “limited edi
tion,” made only in small numbers. It is
intended only for the man or woman to
whom driving is not just transportation but
an exhilarating adventure, a sparkling chal
lenge to skill and judgment. If you are one
of these, then you owe yourself an hour
with a Chevrolet Corvette.
Call us now and let us set up a demon
stration run . . . for in a short 60 minutes
you can discover that motoring has a
whole new dimension of delight.
150-h.p. overhead-valve engine with three side draft carburetors • Four-leaf outrigger springs
