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

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

A&M Plays ’Kats
After 7-0 Victory
Sophomore righthander Dick Munday takes the mound
for A&M this afternoon in Huntsville for the Aggies’ second

first of the season.

Spank Fish 50-34
A&M’s varsity tankmen handed
the Fish a 50-34, spanking Satur

medley, setting a new pool record
of 2:15, the 200-yard breaststroke
