Thursday, November 25, 1954 THE BATTALION Page 3 Odds Don’t Mean a Thing When Aggies Play Longhorns On paper, the Aggips lead the University of Texas in almost eve ry department of play, the Steers have won three games to A&M’s one, but it won’t mean a thing when these 61-year-old rivals meet in Austin’s Memorial stadium at 2 p.m. Thursday. The Steers are favored by seven points, but odds and just about eve rything else go out the window when these two teams take the field on Thanksgiving Day. For the 16th time, the Cadets will try to best Texas in Memorial stadium. They haven’t succeeded siijce the field was opened in 1924. Despite their poor records (3-5-1 for Texas, 1-8-0 for A&M), 55- 60*000 are expected for the game. Ex'es from all parts of the counti’y have made it a habit to always return for the next renewal of the rivalry, one of the oldest in the country. The two state schools started playing in 1894. The Aggies were due to leave for Austin at 7 p.m. Wednesday after a 20-minute workout and spend the night at the Commodore Perry hotel. Tuesday they work ed out for 35 minutes on Kyle field.

Returning were fullback Billy Quinn, quarterback Charley Brew er, halfback Delano Womack, tackles Herb Gray, a preseason all- America, Buck Lansford and Lang ford Sneed, Guard Kirby Miller, center Johnny Tatum, and ends Howard Moon and Menan Schriew- er. Steer supporters looked for out standing play also from sopho mores like guard Ben Woodson and end Morton Moriarty. Texas lost its two big intersec tional games to Notre Dame and Oklahoma, then seemed to fold completely in conference play until coach Ed Price dismissed nine players from the athletes dorm for breaking training. The Longhorns then came back to tie SMU, 13-13, los^ a close 13-7 decision to Baylor and beat TCU 35-34. A&M, with a former halfback playing quarterback, a fullback and a guard alternating at center, an other fullback at an end, an end at one tackle, and a tackle at one guard, absorbed a 41-9 lacing from Texas Tech in the season opener, then wasn’t beaten by more than two touchdowns the rest of the year. The Aggies downed Georgia in their third game of the season for the only victory. Inability to cash in on scoring chances had much to do with their dropping the other seven games, three ^of the losses being by a total of 11 points. A&M has given up 199 yards per game on the ground to 214 for the Steers, 53 yards passing to 83 for Texas. Aggie opponents have aver aged 252 yards per game rushing and pasing. Texas foes have gain ed 298 yards per game. Probable starters are: A&M—Ends, Bennie Sinclair and Gene Stallings; tackles, Larry Win kler and Dee Powell; guards, Ray Barrett and Dennis Goehring; cen ter, Herb Wolf; quarterback, El- wood Kettler; halfbacks, Don Kachtik and Joe Schero; fullback, Jack Pardee. Texas—Ends, Moon and Schiew- er; tackles, Lansford and Bob Flinn; guards, Miller and Gray; center, Tatum; quarterback. Blow er; halfbacks, Chester Simcik and Joe Youngblood; fullback, Quinn. Buck Lansford s PORT H O R T By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor S This will be the last weekend of a frustrating- (for grid “experts”) Southwest conference football season, but two of the teams still have a lot to play for, even though the SWC representative in the Cotton Bowl New Year’s day was de cided last week. The Baylor-Rice game at Waco should produce one of the best contests in the nation, since the winner appears in line for a Sugar Bowl bid (especially the Bears, if they win). This week’s picks (Tuesday, A&M was picked to down Texas 20-17) : Baylor 28, Rice 20. TCU 20, SMU 19. Arkansas 21, Houston 7. Soph halfback Delbert Shofner must have looked like the best thing since sliced bread to Baylor partisans against SMU. His 87 yard run with an intercepted pass turn ed the tide for the Bears and start ed visions of sugar plums dancing in the heads of Baylorites. Baylor’s leading' runner with 454 yards, Shofner has made the Green and Gold forget L. G. Du pre and Allen Jones. With Billy Hooper, now the conference total offense leader, throwing and direc ting George Sauer’s offense, the Bears appear a solid choice over the Owls. Rice wasn’t a bit impressive last week, but this may have been due to the fact that two players were disciplined by Jess Neely for breaking training rules. Dicky Moegle ends his college career Saturday and already has made four all-America teams. He leads the conference in rushing with 779 yards and is fifth in to tal offense, although he hasn’t gained a yard through the air. TCU has won four, lost five, yet the Frog§ have the third best of fense in the confei*ence and lead their opponents in both rushing and passing yardage. Coach Abe Martin, shut out last week for just the second time in 11 years as a head coach, has only six graduating seniors on his squad. You can look for the Frogs to be a real contender next sea- Fish Return to Rooks; Crow Tops in Rushing It’s back to the books for the Aggie freshmen gridders who fin ished the 1954 season against the Texas Shorthorns last Saturday. The Fish defeated Texas, 20-7, to take the unofficial Southwest conference frosh championship. The win gave them a 4-1 record for the year. Texas finished with a 2-3 mark. Before the Fish defeated Hous ton frosh, TCU, and Rice, while losing to Baylor’s Cubs, 14-28. The 20-20 tie played last week by Rice and Baylor freshmen gave the Ag gies the chance to win the SWC title. They each finished with 3-1-1 records. John Crow retained his rushing leadership on the Fish with 344 yards in 41 carries for an 8.3 aver age. Kenneth Hall is second with 206 yards and an 8-yard average. Ed Dudley is third with 164 yards, while Lloyd Taylor finished in fourth place with 147 yards. Jim Wright, was tops in passing with eight completions of 24 at tempts and 171 yards. Donnie Grant, who played well against Texas, had a 4-4 passing record for 69 yards. Bobby Joe Conrad who has alternated at quarterback this season with Wright, missed the final game due to an injury, as did end Fred Maples. feoecer Team Meets Texas In Austin The Aggie soccer team will try to keep its unbeaten string going against University of Texas at Austin Thursday. A&M goes into the content with the distinction of having nev er lost a game with the Austin team. The Aggies hold a 4-0 edge over Texas in two years of con ference play. The Cadets have a record of 3 wins, no losses and one tie this year. They opened with a 3-1 win over the University of Hous ton, and have downed Ellington air force base 5-0 and 4-2. The only blot on their record is a 2-2 tie with Chance Vought aircraft of Dallas. Jacintho lacovone, a freshman from Brazil, leads Aggie scorers with three goals. Victor Artecona and Jose Merion each h'ave two goals. Fencers To Go To Houston Meet The Aggie fencing team will compete in an American Fencing League of America meet in Hous- to Dec. 4. Two Cadets, Bill Swann and Don Burton, went to the finals of epee and saber, respectively, in the Dal las invitational meet last week end. Swann finisheed sixth and Burton fourth. Swann also went to the semi finals in foil. ^215 DYERS*- FUR .storage hatters Students . . . Use Our Convenient Pick Up Stations At Taylor’s Variety Store — North Gate SMU has been one of those good-then-not-so-good teams that gives supporters fits. The Ponies have the best offense in the con ference, but also the worst pass defense. TCU, however, is main ly a running team, having thrown only 111 passes in nine games. The Frogs are our choice be cause their sophomoi’es (Swink, Crowsey, Cooper, Curtis, etc.) fig ure to have more desire than SMU’s seniors, who likely will be looking forward to the Notre Dame game Dec. 4. Everything seemed to go wrong last week for Arkansas, possibly because they had one ear perked for the result of the Baylor-SMU game. The Hogs stand to lose a lot more national prestige if they drop this one to Houston. The Cougars, badly crippled by sick ness in the Texas Tech slaUg'htei’, will try to make up for it before a homecoming crowd. COLLEGE SMOKERS PREFER Luckies — and by a wide margin—according to the largest and latest coast-to-coast college survey. Once again, the No. 1 reason; Luckies taste better. They taste better because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better. “It's Toasted”— the famous Lucky Strike process — tones up Luckies’ light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better. The pleasure you’ll get from Luckies’ better taste is vividly depicted in the Droodle above, titled: Modern artist enjoying Lucky while glancing in mirror. See the ecstatic smile? Well, you, too, can be happy. Just go Lucky! taste fuefcies... LUCKIES TASTE BETTER CIGARETTES FISH COMMITTING SUICIDE BY ATTACHING SELF TO BALLOON jerry Gray University of California STUDENTS!
