Fish Ready for Match With Shorthorns Here Out for at least a share of the Southwest conference freshman title, the Aggie Fish meet the fast improving University of Texas Shorthorns at 2 p.m. Saturday at Kyle field. A&M is now tied with Rice and Baylor for first place, each team having lost one game. The Owlets and Cubs play each other today. The contest will be the eighth annual Shrine benefit game. Pro ceeds go to the crippled children’s clinic in Austin. Tickets are $1.50 and can be bought at the A&M athletic ticket office, Madeley’s drug store in College Station, Can ady’s pharmacy in Bryan, or from any member of the Brazos Valley Shrine club of Bryan. They also will be sold at the stadium Saturday afternoon. Stu dent season tickets will be good. Radio station WTAW will broadcast the game, starting at 2. Charles Parker will do the play-by-play, and James Johnson will handle the color. " ’ | r r ''9 - .r' ; "'' A fleet of buses is scheduled to bring Shriners and Texas football fans from Austin for the game. A crowd of about 10,000 is expected- The Fish had a 40 minute pol ishing up session yesterday. A very light 20 minute workout is set for today. Head Coach Paul Bryant an nounced yesterday that second- string quarterback Bobby Conrad and end Fred Maples will miss the game because of injuries suffei'ed in practice this week. Bryant announced this probable starting lineup for the Fish: Ends, Dean Meeks, 185, and Bobby Marks, 185; tackles, Charles Krue ger, 210, and A. L. Simmons, 206; guards, Jim Stanley, 190, and Paul Lillard, 200; center, John Gilbert, 190, or Gerald Her, 203; Quarterback, Jimmy Wright, 175, halfbacks, John Crow, 200, and Ed Dudley, 185, or Loyd Tay lor, 165; fullback, Ken Hall, 195, or Bobby Ewell, 172. The Shorthorns will probably start this eleven: Ends, Don Wil son, 190, and Wayne Wash, 190; tackles, Will Wyman, 205, and Carl Larpenter, 220; guards, Mike Wells, 195, and Wes Wyman, 205; center Louis DelHomme, 202. . Quarterback, Walter Fondren, 160;; halfbacks, Curtis Reeves, 165 and Mickey Smith, 170; fullback, Johnny Elam, 185. Yesterday the varsity first team “looked pretty good” in a 10 min ute defensive scrimmage, Bryant said, “but the ‘Texas’ freshman team pushed the second and third teams around pretty well.” Pursch Bowls 213 For High Game Martin Pursch bowled a 213 last night, the high individual game in interteam competi tion on the Aggie bowling- team. Clay McFarland scored the high individual series, a 556 on scores of 203, 155, 198. The team will start Ameri can Bowling congress league play Dec. 2. Tigers Open Basketball Nov. 26 Here With just one letterman back from last year’s district titlists, A&M Consolidated opens its baskeball season Friday, Nov. 26. The Tigers will play either Nav- asota or Caldwell in the new G. Rollie White coliseum, depending on which team wins tonight’s foot ball game between those t w o schools. The winner advances into the state grid playoffs. Guard J. B. Can-oil is the only letterman back from last year’s district 25-A champions who lost to Sweeny in the bidistrict playoff. He has been slowed by a football knee injury. Gone arc starters Bobby Jackson, David Bonnen, Ro land Beasley, Pinky Cooner and Fred Anderson. / This season the district will not be split into two zones like last year. Each team plays a roundrob- in schedule, meeting each district rival once at home and on the road. Coach Jim Bevans and assistant coach Edsel Jones have 23 pros pects, including five seniors, seven juniors, seven sophomores and four freshmen. The seniors are Carroll, Travis Engelbrecht, Jerry Oden, Winford Purdue and Don Turner. Halfback Ed Dudley To Play Saturday Against Shorthorns S P O RT o H O R T O By JERRY W1ZIG Battalion Sports Editor The next-to-last weekend of Southwest Conference play will be unfolded this weekend, with things SWC’s oisual crazy, mixed-up situation. This week’s picks are: Baylor 27, SMU 21. Rice 21, TCU 18. Arkansas 28, LSU 14. A&M Fish 19, Texas Shorthorns 12. Pony Offense Tops The Mustangs, with a healthy Frank Eidom and Duane Nutt, present what is the best offense in the conference. Even with reg ular Don Mcllhenny out last week, SMU rolled up three quick scores. The Bears, however, will have Billy Hooper’s throwing arm well- oiled, and Sweetwater’s successor to Sammy Baugh probably will be throwing them long, short and often. SMU’s defensive line looks too tough for the BU ground game, which lacks a really “big” power man. Rice, not very impressive here last week, should have its hands full with the Frogs, who have been bothered lately with injuries. Jim Swink, TCU halfback, and Rice’s Dicky Moegle offer the fans a high - powered offensive show. Swink, a soph, picked up 147 yards against Texas last week. The Froggies have only a 4-4 record, but their losses were by a total of 18 points. They bowed to unbeaten Oklahoma 21-16 in the last quarter, to Arkansas 20-13 in the fourth period, to Baylor 12-7 on a fumble snatched in the air and returned for a touchdown, and to Texas 35-34 in the last two minutes. Hogs Have First Big Injury Arkansas has its first major cas- At Kyle field, the Fish, hailed uality of the season, starting tack le Jim Roth, who suffered a knee injury last week. The Hogs, after finally playing the “bad” g a m e everybody was looking for every week, should be ready for the dan gerous Bengal Tigers. as one of the best crops of fresh man footballers the Aggies have ever had, take on the improving Shorthorns. The Fish have been the most consistent, however, and deserve to be favored by a touch down. SUCCESS STORY FOR TWO.. . and how if started Joanne Dru started her career as a model of teen-ager clothes.
