CORNMOE-YVONNE DeCJRlO TECHNICOLOR 1 By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor The poise of a freshmen-laden team that nearly won the game on the last play — lack of scoring punch inside the 30-yard lines and absence of a potent passing game— those are the major good and bad points shown in Saturday night’s 7-7 tie between the veteran Ma roon and the inexperienced White elevens. Yesterday, after studying the game movies, the Aggie coaching staff was impressed with the way the freshmen came from behind in the final minutes. The staff liked the way both elevens moved the ball but thought both teams were ON THE MOVE — White halfback Ed Dudley is on his way for a 12 yard gain in Saturday night’s intra squad game after taking a pitchout from quarterback Bobby Conrad. John Crow has taken out center Herb Wolf and tackle Bobby Lockett (74) with a beauti ful block. Guard Dennis Goehring (52) is chasing Dudley. starting slow after the snap, neith er lines showed explosive speed and downfield blocking was poor. These players received praise for their showings — guard Dennis Goehring, a junior next fall; Don Fatson, a senior; White fullback Rodney Osborne, another ’54 fresh man; and Ed Dudley, whose block ing was cited "&S outstanding. , Both teams squandered several scoring chances. Bobby Conrad, who alternated with Jimmy Wright at quarter back most of the game, scored for the Whites on a keeper with 35 seconds left, and halfback Ed Dud ley kicked the extra point to tie the score. Conrad had guided a 10-play, 65- yard march for the “Bottlh Babies” after Elwood Kcttler, engaged in a brisk battle With the two sophs-to- be to keep his starting man-under spot, had scored for the “Li’l Ole Men” with three minutes left from a foot out. Kcttler, leading yardage-gainer in the Southwest conference last fall, led the Maroons, who had 10 of the 12 returning lettermeft, 72 yards in 12 plays. Kcttler passed 18 yards to end FRI.
