f T Friday, October 14, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3’ Aggie Fish Quelch Cub’s Rally To Grab 7-6 Win Before 5,000 By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Staff Outweighed but not' outplayed, A&M’s battling Fish line put on a tremendous display of power to stop the Baylor Cubs on the six- inch line in the final minutes of play and preserve a 7-6 victory be fore more than 5,000 fans on Kyle Field last night. With a first down on the Aggie four, Cub fullback Larry Hickman pounded into the stout Fish for ward wall three times to move the ball only 3 yards. On fourth down Hickman leaped straight over the middle, met a solid front of Ma roon jerseys and was stopped right on the goal line. Both teams couldn’t get started in the opening period, with fum bles and a pass interception keep ing most of the action in the Bay lor end of the field. A&M failed to take advantage of its only scoring chance, in the first half, midway in the second quarter. With third and two yards to go on S PORT II O R T s By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor Three conference games highlight the Southwesterner’s football diet this weekend, and all promise to be as tight as King Farouk’s bathing suit. Here’s this week’s picks: Washington over Baylor A&M over TCU Arkansas over Texas Rice over SMU The Aggies go into their Ft. Worth clash as 7^2 point underdogs to the undefeated TCU Frogs. Swink & Co. have been very impressive in running over Kansas, Texas Tech, Arkansas and Alabama. A&M hasn’t been scored against on the ground, the Froggie’s most potent offensive weapon so far, and have out fought every team it has played, with the possible exception of UCLA. Despite all TCU’s build-up, A&M is up for this one. We see the Aggies taking it by 7 points in a close one. Hogs Over Steers Going against the consensus of opinion again on this pick, Arkan sas should trim the Horns by 8 points at Little Rock. Arkansas still has the team that copped last year’s SWC title, and is due. At Dallas Saturday night, two of the top pre-season choices for the conference championship, SMU Mid Rice, get a chance to display their wares. SMU’s cumbersome offense has never been able to get its feet off the ground so far this season, and this game will be no different. Rice by 7 points. Bears to Lose Baylor trounced Washington’s Huskies by a top-heavy score of 34-7 last year at Waco, but the Bears will have to journey into the cold Washington territory for this one. The Huskies beat previously unbeaten Southern California last week 7-0 in Washington. Wash ington is the choice, by 6, but this contest could easily go either way.

Pascuzzi could get only one yard on two smashes at the line and Hathorn recovered his own fumble for a five-yard loss. After the Fish were penalized five yards, Hathorn attempted a field goal that just missed. The Cubs took over on their 20 and put on a sustained drive to the Fish 27, but Don Usry broke up a screen pass for an eight-yard loss to end the threat. The Aggies marched 86 yards to open the second half but another fumble ended the drive on the Cub 14. Luther Hall, standout quar terback in the opening win over TCU, played left halfback last night. Hall took the kickoff and ran it out to the 16. Tracey plung ed for four and Hall hit the middle for 10 yards and a first down. Tracey picked up nine and a Cub offside gave A&M a first on their own 44. Pascuzzi found running room right over right guard, cut left to the sideline and sprinted to the Cub 21 for 35 yards. Tracey, who had a good night running over the right tackle slot, got seven there, but Pascuzzi fumbled on the next play and Baylor recovered on their own nine. A&M was not to be denied an other time, however, and began another drive after forcing Baylor to punt. Starting on the Fish 47, Hall, Pascuzzi and Tracey moved the ball to the Cub 12-yard line on 11 plays. Tracey drove for eight to the four to set up a first and goal for the Fish. Pascuzzi smash ed to the one-foot line where Hath orn sneaked across for the touch down with 3:07 left in the period. Pascuzzi kicked the conversion for a 7-0 lead. Baylor’s score came after Hall intercepted Humphrey’s pass on the Fish 27. The Aggies couldn’t move, and Cub end Bill Dennis blocked Pascuzzi’s punt that bounc ed into the end zone. Charles Hor ton fell on it for the touchdown for Baylor. Hickman’s extra point attempt was wide to the right and the Fish still led, 7-6. Hathorn got the Aggies out of trouble, after stopping Baylor’s last TD drive, with a tremendous 67-yard punt to the Cub 41, where Humphrey’s frantic passes went for naught as the game ended.

Oil Serves You OIL PROGRESS WEEK OCTOBER 9-15 HUMBLE / Research Paces Oil’s Progress There are three reasons why America’s petroleum industry has been able to supply the ever-increasing demand for energy called for by our mechanized way of life: 1, it has fearlessly invested its capital in the hazardous search for oil and gas; 2, it has steadily expanded its facilities; and 3, it has conducted endless research to find better, more efficient ways to make the oil products America needs. Research! That’s the key to the petroleum industry’s progress. And the Humble Company assures itself a place of leadership in this field with two great research laboratories. In the Humble Research Center in Houston scientists and engineers study all phases of finding, producing, and con serving oil and gas. In the Research Laboratory at Humble’s Baytown, Texas, Refinery, highly skilled technicians seek to develop new and better petroleum products, to improve those we already have, and to develop methods for making these products more efficiently. Just as America’s progress depends on oil, so oil’s progress depends on research. HUMBLE OIL & REFINING COMPANY
