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.

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.

''The welfare of our country is the great
object to which our cares and efforts
ought to be directed.”
George Washington
January 8, 1790
It has been the peculiar bIessing~of America' to
have had a succession of great leaders whose first
devotion was to all the people.
Without exception, they have taught us that the
security of our country begins in the home.
And, of course, it is a basic truth. The strength of
America is simply the strength of one secure home
touching that of another.
Our first duty to America is our duty to our own
homes. We can do honor to George Washington
and all our other great leaders in no better waj
than to make our homes secure.
