Tuesday, November 23, 1954 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggie Seniors (Advertisement) / r Fish Get Praise from Bryant After 20-7 Win over Shorthorns The Aggie Fish, holder of the unofficial Southwest conference freshman title after a 20-7 win over Texas Shorthoras Saturday, got some praise from Head Coach Paul Bryant. Bryant said yesterday, “I was pleased jyith the way they won, coming from behind, and I was pleased with their goal-line stands.” Asked about top prospects for next year’s varsity, Bryant said, “It’s too early to tell now, but I was very much impressed with guard Jim Langston, quarterback Donald Grant, halfbacks Bill Dendy and Loyd Taylor and fullbacks Ken Hall and Roddy Osborne.” Taylor was the leading rusher for the Fish with 47 yards in 9 tries and scored once. Halfback John Crow got 34 in 4, returned three punts for 48 yards and one kickoff for 14 yards, and caught a pass for 17 yards. Saturday, the Freshmen unveiled a passing game that caught the Yearlings off balance. Quarter backs Jimmy Wright, the starter, and Grant completed 7 of 9 for 154 yards. One went for 26 yards to end Bobby Marks to set up the first Fish touchdown, another for 46 yards to end Roger Hobson led to the third score. The Yearlings scored first, going 60 yards in 9 plays after the open ing kickoff. On the seventh play, Fondren dashed for 12 at right end to the Fish 31, then two plays later went 26 off right tackle for the score. Fullback John Elam converted. Later Texas drove from its 37 to the Fish 36, but Dendy inter cepted Fondren’s pass on his 5 and returned to the 26. From there the Fish drove to the tieing score in 12 plays, Crow smashing over from the 1 early in the second quarter. Wright’s pass to Marks, who made a diving catch on the 2, covered 26 yards.

Dudley converted. The Fish also drove to the Texas 3 and 15 but couldn’t score. Hall took the second half kickoff, raced up the middle, got beautiful blocking and, sprinted 63 yards to the Texas 23. Crow got 3, Dudley 7, then Hall broke off tackle for 12 to the 1. He dove over center into the end zone on the next play, and Crow converted. The Shorthorns drove to the Fish 17 with the kickoff, but A&M dug in and took over on downs. Later, Grant passed to Dendy for 13, then faked a jump pass, faded and threw to Hobson for. 46 yards to the 5. Two plays later, Taylor went over from the 1 with 15 sec onds left in the third quarter. Texas took the kickoff and drove to the Aggie 1, then received a 5- yard backfield in motion penalty, and the Fish took over on the 7. The next time they got the ball, the Shorthorns marched to the Fish 3, got an offsides penalty and then had a fourth down pass inter cepted on the 11.
