It was a team victory,” said Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant. Bryant’s aggressive squad took complete charge of the game in the second half, racking-up eight first downs to UH’s four, and leading in total yardage gained with 107 to 63. Houston, after going through the first two periods without a pen alty, amassed' 105-yards in the fi nal half. Sixty of these yards were for personal fouls or unnec essary roughness. Keith Stars “I don’t have to think about who was outstanding for us against Houston, I know! Bobby Drake Keith should be the line man of the week. He caught two touchdown passes, blocked a punt, and played terrific all- around ball,” said Bryant em phatically. Sunday’s meeting with the press found Cougar Coach Bill Meek, in his first season at the win-hungry Houston school, in an excuse-mak ing mood. . “Wa played every bit as well as they did, but we didn’t come close to getting the breaks the Aggies did. Given our share of breaks, the game could’ve been 21-points in our favor,” said Meek, after watch ing his team get trounced all over again in game movies. “I like to think we made the so- called “breaks”, said Bryant, “TheyTe just part of the game.” Meek Speaks After the game Meek came up with this startling disclosure, “I think we’ve got a football team.” More than 26,000 partisan fans watched the Cadets take the lead on the last play of the third quar ter on a 9-yard pass from quarter back Donnie Grant to end Keith. Sophomore right halfback Loyd Taylor kicked his fifth straight ex tra-point of the young season to give the Aggies a 7-3 margin over the Missouri Valley Conference ti tle favorites. Burly Bob Clendennen, junior tackle from Waco, had set-up the score by pouncing on a fumble by Cougar Ronnie Logan on Houston’s 23. Another fumble recovery less than one minute deep in the final period, this time by end Bobby Marks, put the Aggies’ offense in CHS Lineup Changes After Losing 7-40 By MAURICE OLIAN CHS Sports Correspondent CHS Coach Horace Schaffer promised several line-up changes for the A&M Consolidated Tigers after a 40-7 trouncing Friday night on their home turf at the hands of Smiley’s Eagles. In preparation for the strong Magnolia Bulldogs, Schaffer and line coach Larry Hayes will send their charges through rough work outs devoted mainly to defense this week. Coach Schaffer has already made several changes in the CHS lineup, and he said that it is now up to the previous regulars to win their old jobs back. The only bright spot for the Tigers in Friday night’s game, other thdn the fact that they came out of the battle with no injuries, was the showing of Alton Arnold, 135-pound freshman halfback, on both offense and defense. Starting his first game in high school, Arn old picked up 30 yards rushing in 10 jaunts, accounted for all seven of the Tigers’ points, and was in on several tackles defensively. David McNeely, 130-pound soph omore guard, Bo Linton, 155-pound junior tackle, and Bobby Johnson, DYERSi'FUR STORAGE HATTERS Students . . .

Hale Scores Taylor hit the center of the Cougar line from 2-yards out sev en plays later, but fumbled into the end zone where A&M’s alert center, Lloyd Hale, fell on the ball for six-points. Taylor’s kick was good, and the Cadets led 14-3. Tempers, like the weather, were hot Saturday night. Two of UH’s qharterbacks, Don Flynn and Sam my Blount, were marched off the field by an official for personal fouls in the second half. Unnecessary roughness was call ed on both teams on a UH punt in the fourth quarter, and set the stage for Keith’s dramatic block of a kick that led to A&M’s last TD. The Aggies took over on Hous ton’s 11, and Jimmy Wright zipped a pass to Keith straight down the middle on the first play for the touchdown. Ed Dudley converted. The bitterly-fought contest’s longest run from scrimmage won’t go into the record books. Full back Jack Pardee strung tacklers all over the • field in rambling 52 yards to the Houston 14 in the first period, but a 5-yard penalty nulli fied the play. 203-pound senior tackle also turn ed in fine performances. Smiley out-rushed Consolidated 187-66 and picked up 64 yards passing, while the Tigers gathered 63 yards through the air. The Eagles collected 11 first downs to CHS’s eight. The Eagles started the rout with two opening-quarter tallies. “Tip” Moore bulled over from the 1 to break the ice, and Gerald Bussey scampered six yards to reach pay dirt later in the period. The score mounted to 20-0 at the half as Lindsey scored on an 8-yard blast. Ben Howard con verted. Consolidated’s lone tally came early in the fourth period. Oper ating from the Smiley 33, Edgar Feldman connected with Arnold for the six-pointer. Arnold con verted to cut the deficit to 34-7.
