Thursday, November II, 1954 ~~ THE BATTALION Page 5 Aggies Near Final Workouts for Rice Donning pads for the first time I this week, A&M’s first string foot ballers went through a light work out yesterday, dividing time be tween defense and offense. The second and third stringers had a stiff scrimmage session. In what probably will be their hardest workout of the week be fore Saturday’s Rice game, the Aggie startei’s first dialled on de fense against Rice’s stx-aight-T of fense. Assistant coach Don Ellis, all-SWC quai-tei’back in 1953, man ned the quarterback post for the “Owls.” After a 20-minute workout on defense, the first stringers i’e- viewed their offense and wound up the day with a vex*y shoxt dxill on exti’a points, field goals and kick offs. The reserves scximmagcd on of fensive and defensive. Head Coach Paul Bryant said aftenvards, “Some indicated by their perform ance that they want to play, pai’- ticulaxiy Bob Easley.” Easley was running at fullback on the thixd team and pounded out several long gains. j Starting guard Ray Bqrrett re turned to px-acticc after being hos pitalized Monday and Tuesday with a virus. Biyant said he was all right. Rice, after losing to Arkansas last week in a vital contest, may come here Saturday eager to take things out on the Aggies. And the Owls have been doing that for the last nine yeax-s. A&M last beat Jess Neely’s team in 1944. Biyant said yesterday, “We x'eal- ize Rice is one of the top teams in the country. They ai-e expertly coached by. a txuly great coach, and have as much offense as any team in football, as well as being a good, sound defensive team.” He called Owl halfback Dicky Moegle one of the best all-around halfbacks in the country. Moegle leads the conference in rushing with 625 yards in 93 carries for a 6.7 average and is eighth nation ally. “Our kids have been pushed ai'ound week after week, and a less courageous group would have thrown in the sponge by now,” Bryant said. “After having been beaten so long and so regularly by Rice, our boys will need all the coux-age and moxie they can muster to contest them.” At halftime Saturday, John Kim brough, all-America fullback on the 1939 and ’40 Aggie elevens, will be honored. He recently was elected to the National Football Hall of Fame. TWIN TWIRLERS—You’re not seeing double.

As they passed through a dry river bed, a voice called out of the night, “Halt!’ The riders x - eihed in their horses, and then the voice ordered, “Dis mount—pick up a handful of peb bles and remount.” When the horsemen were again in their saddles, the voice said “You have done as I have com manded. Tomoi;row at dawn yoi will be both glad and sorry.” Mystified, the three men rodt off into the night. As the sun climbed above tht horizon the next morning, the} reached into their pockets. A miracle had happened, for insteac of the pebbles, their hands were filled with diamonds,, rubies axg^ other precious stones. And then they remembered the strange omen. They were both glad and sorry—glad they had taken some, sorry they had ■'not taken more. } LIFE INSURANCE IS LIKE THAT. Eugene rush GENERAL AGENT American National Insurance Co.
