B Armor Downs
A-AAA In ’Murals
By JOE DAN BOYD
Intramural Sports Writer
A 60-yard punt return by
Dale Lovelace gave A-AAA’s
freshmen a 6-0 edge over B
Armor in yesterday’s Intra
mural highlight.
The long run came unexpectedly
deep in the second half of a game
played chiefly in the air. Lovelace
took John Gist’s fourth down kick
and ran over the goal untouched
behind the sharp blocking of Gary
Hipps and Grady Barr.
Superb defensive play by both
teams lent color to a scoreless first
half which ended with B Armor ho
vering over A-AAA’s one-yard line.
The effectiveness of John Lyons’
passing attack waned as they near-
id the goal and the Artillerymen
refused to allow a score by the
ground route.
B-Armor confused and harrassed
their opponents with a spread for
mation which set up most of their
scoring threats early in the game.
Leland Lantz was the choice targ-et
for Lyons’ passing strategy as the
Cavalry fought to even the score in
the game’s final moments. The
aerial route failing, halfback Allan
Smith proved B-Armor’s most po
tent threat with a series of end

Final score was 6-0, as Gaymon
Thompson’s attempt to run the er-
tra point failed.
Other football scores showed D-
Tnfantry over C-FA 6-0; B-AAA
beat C-Armor 14-7; A-Armour over
D-FA; and A-Engineers edged C-
AAA 8-6.
In upperclassmen tennis A-Ord-
nance displayed more of the force
which carried it to the runner-up
position in last year’s competition
by downing A-Infantry 2-1. It was
the booming service of S. H. Brand
that spelled the difference, with
fine play from all three doubles
teafns.
Victories were also scored by Sq.
4 over Sq. 15; B-Armor over Sq.
21; Sq. 16 over B-Infantry and
A-Quartermaster took one from
Sq. 17. /
Don Mayo and Allen Offield were
leading scorers as B-AAA trounced
C-Armor 28-17 in upperclassmen
basketball.
Other basketball results are A-
AAA 22, B-Armor 13; D-Infantry
over B-FA 20-7; C-FA past E-In
fantry 29-13; and D-FA beat A-
Armor 27-13.

After electrifying the ex
perts with its brazen display
of power against . top-seated
TCU, A&M was shoved up to
12th place in the nation by the
Associated Press writers this week
just behind Notre Dame.
The Aggies’ conspicuous climb
from the 19th spot puts them in
the enviable, but historically un
stable, pei'ch at the top of the
Southwest Conference football
heap. TCU dropped from its sev
enth place ranking of last week to
18th in this week’s poll. Baylor
is the only other SWC team to en
ter the top 20, squeezing in just
ahead of the Froggies with a rank
ing of 16th.
“Only way I’m interested in rank
now is how we’re gona’ finish Sat
urday—ahead or behind Baylor,”
commented Coach Paul Bryant yes
terday, when asked what he
thought about the Aggies’ national
standing.
Along with the news of A&M’s
rise to the nation’s limelight, comes
a gloomy note. John Crow, the
Cadet’s leading ground gainer, will
probably .miss the Baylor game be
cause of a bruised knee he received
in the early minutes of the Texas
Christian game.
Charles “ S m o k e y ” Harper,
A&M’s trainer, says the 195-pound
line crumbier has about a 50-50
chance of playing Saturday.
“You can’t tell about these kind
of injuries,” Harper said, “Some
times they heal pretty fast, then
again, sometimes they take a long
time. He wants to play though,
awfully bad, and that has a lot to
do with it.”
Although Crow didn’t carry the
ball a single time last Saturday he
still holds down the fifth position
among SWC ball carriers this week
with 217 yards gained, and a 6.2
average per try.
A&M is second in the conference
now in both team offense and de
fense. The Cadets boast an aver
age of 311.8 yards per game on
the attack, and a still improving
defense of 209 yards given up to
opponents.
The Aggies have not been at full

at the Veterans Administration
Center in Temple will be guests of
A&M and the Athletic Department,
at the football game at College
Station Saturday between the Bay
lor Bears and the Aggies. The
group will have special seats on
the cinder path on the 50-yard line.
They will be met by P. L. Downs
Jr., official greeter for the college
and will have lunch and an evening
meal at the Duncan dining hall.
Soft drinks will be served to the
heroes during the game. This will
mark the tenth annual game that
veterans will have attended at
A&M.
“This is one way we have of
paying tribute to those men who
have given so much that we may
continue to enjoy the blessings of
a free nation,” “Pinky” said.
There are 1,200 patients at the
Center.
strength for any game this year,
and besides Crow, three others are
nursing injuries this week. Roger
Hobson and Dean Meeks, both ends,
have been out since the start of the
ason. Big Bob Clendennen, stal
wart 225-pound tackle from Waco,
has been hampered with a leg in
jury and may see only limited serv
ice against the Bears.
A&M hasn’t beaten Baylor in
eight long years, and Saturday the
Cadets won’t find this Golden Bear
team any easier than its predeces
sors.
• Currently locked in a three-way
tie with SMU, the Aggies and
Bears will be fighting for the first
real lead in the young Southwest
Conference title chase. Both teams
have identical 4-1 season records,
and 1-0 won-lost marks in confer
ence action.
Both teams have run into double
tough opponents this season, with
Baylor tackling mighty Maryland,
Arkansas and Washington, and the
Ags fighting off UCLA, LSU and
TCU.
“Had it not been for some costly
fumbles, and a blocked punt, the
Maryland game could have been
easily won by the Bears,” said As
sistant Coach Pat James, who has
scouted Baylor this season.
“They’re a better balanced ball
club than TCU, and for that reason
they’re going to be a lot tougher
than the Frogs,” James continued.
Baylor will possibly use Doyle
Traylor, the much publicized pass
ing quarterback, in the game.
Traylor missed the first part of
the season because of a broken leg,
and was forced to sit out last year’s
schedule with a shoulder injury.
Even if the Bears don’t use Tray-
