f^uesclay, November 9, 1954 THE BATTALION Page 3 Bryant Calls Off Rough Work For‘10orll Guys’After 6-3 Loss ‘They’ve Been Keeping Us From Getting Murdered’ By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor Head Coach Paul Bryant announced a hard-earned re ward yesterday for the “10 or 11 guys that have been keep ing us from getting murdered every Saturday.” Bryant said there would be little or no contact work for them in practice for the rest of the season. He explained, “They’re tattered and torn, and I’m cer tainly not going to wear them out in practice.” These are the players Bryant singled out and his comments about their play: End Gene Stallings and Bennie Sinclair—Stallings, said Bryant, has played well all year. Sinclair got off to a slow start but has come along very well, he added. Tackle Larry Winkler ‘He was terrific Saturday.” Tackles Bill Schroeder and Dee Powell — “They played very well. Like Winkler, they started slow too, but have really played fine games.” Quarterback Elwood Kettler, fullback Don Kachtik and half back Joe Schero. Guard Ray Barrett—“Ray play ed very fine Saturday and has been doing a fine job.” Bryant an nounced that Barrett and soph Dennis Goehring, who has been injured part of the season, “are our guards.” He also praised Goehring for his play against SMU. Centers Lloyd Hale and Herb Wolf have played very fine on of fense, said Bryant. Tackle Dar rell Brown “played very well when he relieved Winkler.” Fullback Richard Vick, former third-string center, “has given us Borne offensive pickup in the last few games,” Bryant said. Vick has carried the ball 19 times, against Arkansas and SMU, and has gained 118 yards, a 6.7 aver age. Bryant also gave second-string quarterback Charlie Scott a verbal pat on the back and said, “I think if I’d played Scott more, it might have helped him and Kettler more.” Then Bryant said, “We’ve got a few more we can work with, and Rely On Us for erior Service Sup When you put clothes in our hands, you know they’ll be returned clean, well pressed and in top form. Our reputation rests on your satisfaction. OVERS* FUR STORAGE HATTERS TTVOriCan. some more I don’t know how to coach.” After the 6-3 loss to the Mus tangs Saturday, their seventh of the season and the foui’th confer ence loss, the Cadets worked out in sweat suits as they drilled for the Rice game here Saturday af ternoon. Saturday the Ags almost ruined the Mustang homecoming before 44,000 in the Cotton Bowl. SMU didn’t get a first down until the second period, ran only eight plays in the first quarter as A&M’s 4-2-3-2 defense baffled them. Quarterback Elwood Kettler continues as the SWC total of fense leader. He ran for 16 yards and completed 7 of 11 passes for 88 yards to run his season total offense mark to 760 yards. Ket tler intercepted a pass in the end zone, stole the ball from Mustang Blake Tucker on the Aggie 5 and recovered a Pony fumble. The Aggies took the opening kickoff and drove 59 yards to the SMU 8. Kettler kicked a field goal on fourth down from the 14 with 10.04 left in the first quar ter. In the final minutes of the per iod, Scott guided the Aggies from the Pony 48 to the 29, where Ket tler took over at the start of the second quarter. On fourth and 8 from the 22, he passed to Schero to the 14. , Pardee got 4 on two tries, Schero got 5, then Kettler rolled to the left on an option and lost a yard when his knee touched the ground before his bad pitch- out was picked off by Frank Eidom. From the 6, SMU drove to the Ag 1. On fourth down Duane Nutt tried to sneak - over right tackle on an option play, but Vick and Stallings caught him for no gain. Six plays later guard Jimmy Smith recovered Kachtik’s fumble on the Aggie 29. Nutt passed to end Ray Berry to the 16 with 43 seconds left in the half. After an incomplete pass to Eidom on the goal line, which was ruled a trap, Kettler intercepted a toss in the end zone.

Tigers Down 'Tomha 11 21-7 To Tie for Second Place By MAURICE OLIAN A&M Consolidated pulled into a four-way tie for second place by downing Tomball 21-7 last Friday night, but the victory cost them the services of star quarterback J. B. Carroll. The 124-pound Carroll had spark ed the Tiger offense by playing every minute of every game this year before he was injured. CHS meets Waller Friday night in the season final and will be try ing for part of second place. CHS Waller, Katy, and Cypress-Fair- banks are currently tied for second place in District 25-A standings, each having 2 wins and 2 losses. Sealy leads the district with 4 wins and no losses. Tiger Coach Jim Bevans is work ing Travis Englebrecht, Norman Floeck, and Larry Leighton at the man-under position this week. The Tigers amassed 284 yards rushing and passing against Tom ball last week. The Cougars made 231 yards against Consolidated de fenses. Englebrecht paced the Consoli dated attack with a net gain of 112 yards in 12 carries and scored one touchdown. Bobby Joe Wade made 77 yards in 15 tries, and Tommy Barker gained 47 yards in 12. The entire Tiger offensive line turned in a fine performance, and Manuel Garcia, Floeck, Jack Mc- Neely, and Bobby Johnson were outstanding on defense. Consolidated jumped to an early lead late in the opening quarter when Englebrecht sprinted 64 yards to pay dirt, aided by a key block thrown by Carroll. Carroll kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0 Tomball drove to the Tiger 2- yard line midway in the second •quarter, but the Consolidated de fense stiffened and held the Coug ars at that point. The Cougars didn’t threaten again until the dy ing minutes of the game* The Tigers added two insurance TD’s in the second half with runs by Wade and Billy Mixon. Wade climaxed a 91-yard march with a 21-yard jaunt for Consolidated’s second score. Mixon intercepted a Tomball lateral on the Cougar 15 and raced over. Carroll kicked the extra points after both tallies to close out Consolidated’s scoring. A TRIBUTE TRUE — IN|S BEAUTY RAISE ... A MONUMENT SPEAKS ITS LASTING PRAISE J. H. LROY MONUMENT CO. 1201 N.
