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. Left to
right are June and Joan Ball, 18-year-old drum majorettes
of the Mount Pleasant high school band. Daughters of
Dy. and Mrs. J. E. Ball, they not only look alike, but their
“length and stride is exactly the same,” according to Band
Director Max Murphy.

— A LEGEND —
One night in ancient times, three
horsemen were riding acx-oss an
open desert. 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. }
