Sport Shorts By RONNIE GREATHOUSE LOS ANGELES—Saturday afternoon, while eating a quiet dinner in 20th Century Fox’s spacious lunch room in Hollywood, the Aggie football team became almost as aroused as the night before against UCLA’s Bruins. What could tear 40 hungry football players away from a half-eaten meal ? The answer is simple—Sheree North ! The petite Miss North, attired in the pale blue uniform of an Air Force WAF she portrays in her new movie still in production, slipped quietly down at a table across the mural- covered room from the Cadet team. Her moments alone were short, however, as the entire team moved to her table for autographs, and a few words ♦with the “Blonde Bombshell.” Ags To Invade Texas Cities This Fall Sophomore end Bobby Marks from New Orleans was one of the last to move away from Miss North’s table. Clutching a still moist signature, Marks beamed, “Ya know, I think she fell for me.” Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth might well heed the signs of Fall and prepare their cities for the invasion of the Aggies’ yehrly corps trips. Scheduled trips to these “lucky” towns start officially with Fort Worth when the “fightin’ Texas Aggies” play TCU on October 15. The Aggies will have plenty of time to recuperate for the A&M-Rice game in Houston, November 12. Dallas won’t feel slighted as the brave Aggies will invade their town for the A&M-LSU game on Sept. 24 as an unoffi cial corps trip. Fish Baseballers To Have Meeting All freshmen interested in try ing out for the Aggie Fish baseball squad should meet at the Southsidc of DeWare Field House Wednesday at 5 p.m. according to Coach Beau Bell. Bring pencils and paper. The Aggies were taken on a tour of the studio grounds as a guest of William Bendix, who starred in the court martial scene from “The Caine Mutiny” here last March. Band Awes Crowd The Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, long hailed by Southwest confer ence fans as the finest in the land, received one of the most stirring tributes in its history during the halftime activities at the A&M- UCLA game. Most of the 65,000 fans in the mammoth Los Angeles Coliseum wei'e. on their feet applauding at one time or another during the Band’s inspired performance. The press box comments ran from “How do they do it?” to “The greatest band I’ve ever seen.” The Cincinnati Redlegs are rav ing about rookie southpaw hurler Charlie Rabe at their Columbia, S.C. farm club. In his first 197 innings he had fanned 175 batters, compiled a 2.41 earned run mark and had won 17 games.

SALES — SERVICE — RENTALS — TERMS 429 South Main Street — Bryan, Texas ——— FREE PARKING AIR CONDITIONED Aggies Work Hard On Weaknesses Coach Paul Bryant’s well condi tioned squad took on more work than usual for Monday practice sessions yesterday, concentrating on correcting the weaknesses that hurt the Aggies in the 0-21 loss to UCLA. “We worked on our weaknesses today,” said Bryant in his office after two hours of labor on the practice field. “We needed the work badly. In particular we work ed on our pass offense and defense, and the quarterback’s option play.” The Aggies came out of the Bruin game in surprisingly fine shape. Jack Pardee, starting full back from Christoval, showed up with minor lime burns from the yard-line stripes. There were no serious injuries. In fact, the Cadets didn’t even have to call time out during the game because of an injured player. “Incidentally, after studying the game movies, Dee Powell, a guard, and Tackle Jack Powell were out standing against UCLA,” said Bry ant. “Dee Powell will definitely start against LSU.” Dee, no relation to Jack, moves into the left guard position in front of sophomore Jim Stanley. Both Powells are juniors. UCLA’s Henry (Red) Sanders, Coach of the Year in 1954, praised the spirit of the sophomore-laden Aggies after the game in the spa cious dressing room that housed the victorious Bruins. Facing a barrage of questions from enthusiastic reporters, San ders said, “They’re one of the best prepared teams we’ve ever met.” “The Aggies were plenty tough,” said UCLA’s newly discovered star, Ronnie Knox, as he leaned tiredly against the tile wall beside his 1 dressing stall. “I thought the Ag- | gie linemen were awfully quick. They were pretty solid all-around.” Penalties put an early damper 1 on the Aggies’ offensive efforts against UCLA, as the Cadet eleven was set back 60 yards on rule vio lations in the first quarter. A&M’s total offense in the first quarter amounted to only 45 yards. Here is a brief summary of the important plays in the UCLA game. FIRST QUARTER—The Aggies got an early scoring chance as the Bruin left halfback, Doug Bradley, fumbled the opening kick >ff on his own 22. End Gene Stallings recov ered for the Aggies. Bobby Con rad plowed through right guard for 2 yards, but the Cadets were pen alized 15 yards for illegal use of the hands. A third down aerial by Donnie Grant was intercepted by the Bruin’s Steve Palmer on the 22 to end the threat. UCLA worked its way down to the Aggie 4 where a 15-yard pen alty set the Bruins back, and prob ably cost them a touchdown. SECOND QUARTER — Knox passed to John Hermann for 25 yards and a touchdown 2:06 deep in the second stanza. Five min utes later UCLA, driving from its own 30, and featuring a 22-yard romp by halfback Sam Brown, reached the Aggie’s 9-yard stripe in six plays. Knox passed to half- (See FOOTBALL, Page 4) Phone 2-8159 Night Phone 6-8053 BAKER TIRE COMPANY N. C.
