Cadets Start Workouts
For Texas After Loss
A&M’s varsity starts drilling to
day for the Thanksgiving Day
battle in Austin with the Univer
sity of Texas after a day off Mon
day following the 29-19 loss to
Rice.
The game with the Longhorns
nine days from today will be the
61st meeting between the two
schools, one of the oldest rivalries
in the country. A&M has never
beaten Texas at Memorial Sta
dium.
Head Coach Paul Bryant said to
day’s^ practice would be a normal
“Monday” workout for the Cadets,
meaning a light session. The Fish
practiced as usual yesterday, pre
paring for the eighth annual bene
fit Shrine game here Saturday with
the Texas Shorthorns.
Bryant said, “I thought we play
ed a pretty good game. We were
beaten on our kicking game, our
strongest point before Saturday.
We sure played a fine first half,
with the exception of a couple of
mistakes. I was disappointed in
our play in the second half after
Rice scored their safety.”
The closed-circuit television set
the Aggies used on their bench as
an experiment “was very helpful,
particularly in certain areas when
we wanted to find out what their
defense was doing,” Bryant said.
A camera on the top deck of the
press box flashed a bird’s-eye view
to quarterbacks not in action and
to the Aggie coa«|hes.
It was the first time Bryant had
used it.
Asked what he thought of the
34-21 defeat the Fish pinned on
the Owlets Thursday night, Bryant
said, “I certainly was pleased with
their effort and poise, and particu
larly with the score—I was pleased
with the score first. They’ve show
ed quite a bit of improvement since
the Baylor game.”
•
In Saturday’s game, the Aggies
lead 14-2 in first downs and gained
195 yards to Rice’s 84 in the first
half, yet had only a 13-13 tie.
After the Aggies had made a
first down, Dicky Moegle intercept
ed Elwood Kettler’s pass and ran
it 12 yards to the Ag 46. On the
next play, quarterback Atchley
Proctor rolled out to the right and
passed to end Lamoine Holland,
who tipped the ball into the hands
of Morris Stone on the 15. Don
Kachtik missed a desperate dive
at the 3 and Btone scored. Jack
Throckmorton converted with 4:10
gone.
A&M took the kickoff and
ground 70 yards in 14 plays. Kach
tik gained 42 of them, 23 on a
Rice Game ‘Same Old Story’
Neely Says Ags
Are Fine Team 9
By The Battalion Sports Staff
A&M had just lost another foot
ball game, and Head Coach Paul
Bryant sat in his chair and sighed,
“It was the same old story—just
a different Saturday.” On the
other side of the field, Rice coach
Jess Neely said of the Aggies,
“They’re a fine team to have had
such little success so far.”
Bryant had just finished a short
talk inside the door to his office
with John Kimbrough, 1939 and ’40
all-American, who had been hon
ored -at halftime. After “Jarrin’
John” left, Bryant said, “Rice has
a very fine football team. I think
Dicky Moegle is a great back, al
though I didn’t get to watch him
much.*’
Asked about turning points in
the game, Bryant replied, “I
thought there were several—that
blocked punt, the missed field goal,
Rice’s second touchdown.”
Joe Schero’s blocked punt was
“the first kick I’ve ever had blocked
on me,” Bryant said. “It was a
bad pass from center.” Elwood
Kettler’s missed field goal “was a
bad snapback again,” said Bryant.
Kettler ‘All Right’
He thought end Bennie Sinclair
and fullbacks Jack Pardee, Don
Kachtik and Bob Easley stood out
for the Aggies. Kettler ? “He
must have done all right since we
scored three touchdowns.”
Th(*i Bryant said, “But let’s not
talk about the Aggies. Let’s talk
about some of those Rice players
like I£enny Paul and Throckmorton
and that bunch. They won the
game.” i i
“I was very much disappointed
in our play in the fourth quarter,”
Bryant said. Then he added,!
“Coach Neely did a fine job oif
bringing his boys back after losing
to Arkansas. That’s the test of a
good coaching staff, when they can
bring their team back after a loss.”
Owls ‘Looked Tired’
In the Owl dressing room, mean
while, Neely didn’t think his team
had played its best game. “We
were not as alert as we should
have been,” he said. “We won, but
that’s about all I can say. Our
boys looked tired—no zip. They
didn’t seem to have the get-up-
and-go.”
Then Neely complimented the
Cadets, saying, “The entire Aggie
team played a fine game.”
“The breaks were about evenly
divided, I thought,” Neely added.
“The blocked punt gave up a good
break, of course.”
Moegle, held to 54 yards in 12
carries, said, “The team sure made
that one for us. I’m glad to see
that it’s over.” He pointed to
Kettler and Kachtik as the out
standing Cadets and said, “Kach
tik is as good a runner as we’ve
faced. I don’t think he’s any better
than Henry Moore of Arkansas,
but he’s certainly as good.”
Captain Kenny Paul had this to
say: “A&M had a good team all
around. I’d hesitate to single out
one playet- as the best. I know all
the Aggie exes are proud of them,
because they really went out there
to win. They had a good running
attack. Paul Bryant surely made
a good team out of them.”
slashing run off left tackle to the
13. Kettler sneaked over from
the 1, then converted.
A&M went ahead 13-7, scoring
after center Lloyd Hale covered
Moegle’s fumble on the Owl 15.
Ronald Robbins powered oyer from
the 1 behind guard Ray Barrett
after Kachtik had rammed for 14
and 2 up the middle.
Later in the quarter, tackle Jay
Riviere fell on a mixed up Aggie
handoff on the Cadet 15. From the
10, Pinky Nisbet faked a hand off
to the fullback and pitched to Hol
land in the end zone. Joe Schero
blocked Throckmorton’s conversion
kick.
Rice went ahead to stay early
in the third period. A clipping
penalty forced the Cadets back to
the 1, and Schero stepped back to
kick on third down. The snap
from center was high and wide,
and tackle Eddie Rayburn hurtled
through to block the boot out of
the end zone for a safety.
Late in the period Kettler missed
a field goal after a Cadet drive
sputtered on the 15. The snap
back to holder Don Watson was
high, and the kick was short and
very wide.
Following this, Rice marched 80
yards in 12 plays, fullback Jerry
Hall scoring from the 2. The Ag
gies took the kickoff back 66 yards
in 12 plays, Kettler scoring on
fourth down from a half yard out.
His conversion attempt was low.
