Wednesday, October 26, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 Unbeaten Fish,Housio n Kittens Tangle Here Tomorrow Night “THE FOUR FRESHMEN”—This Fish backfield foursome has no connection with the popular singing group of that name, but they do a fine job of dancing through oppon- ehts defenses. Left to right, they are halfback Luther Hall, fullback John Tracey, half back Joe Pascuzzi and quarterback Jackie Hathorn. All of them started against the Baylor Cubs Oct. 13, and are expected to deal the U of H Frosh plenty of misery to morrow night. By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Writer Undefeated, and currently leading the Southwest Con ference freshmen race, A&M’s powerful Fish meet their only non-conference foe, the Uni versity of Houston Kittens, tomor row night on Kyle Field. Game time is 7:30, With victories over TCU, 27-6, and Baylor, 7-6, the Fish will be out to push ahead in their series with Houston. In 1952 the Kittens took a 26-21 decision and A&M plowed to a muddy 31-6 win last year. The teams didn’t play in 1953. LED BY THE terrific all-around play of halfback Joe Pascuzzi and a hard-nosed, fast-charging line, riasicj ie DRIVE IN DINING ROOM 90c LUNCH Served from 11 until 2 PLATE LUNCHES Soup or Juice — 2 Vegetables Meat — Coffee or Tea — Dessert Triangle Banquet Room OPEN FOR ALL LUNCHEONS, DINNERS, RECEPTIONS, WEDDINGS AND BANQUETS — By Reservation Only — Squadron 16 Clips White Band 24-12 Squadron 16’s freshmen came from behind to c 1 i White Band in an intramural football headliner Monday, 24- 12. Brilliant passing and running by Dick Clements spelled the diffei’- ence, as Squadron 16 dominated the first half of play. It was a 50-yard run by Clem ents, on a pass or run option play, that netted the airmen their first touchdown. Clement’s lon^ run, boosted by superb blocking from Pete Gould and Doyle Stewart, came shortly after Paul Martin had put the Squadron 16 Fish ahead 2-0 on a safety. GOULD’S extra-point try was no good, but Roy Truesdale scored another safety for the airmen a few minutes later, and Squadron 16 led 10-0. White Band struck back after re ceiving the ensuing kick-off. James Johnson threaded a beautiful 25 yard pass to Charles Smith, who snared the aerial and dashed the additional 45 yards to pay dirt. B ARMOR outplayed Squadron 22 by four penetrations yesterday; A Armor blanked Squadron 21, 20- 0; Squadron 24 edged A Engineers with two penetrations; Squadron 23 won over C Armor by two pene trations and D Infantry drubbed Squadron 20, 13-0. the Aggie first-year men pounded the Wogs, and manhandled the sup- posedly-unbeatable Cubs. Pascuzzi, stout 185-pound speed ster, currently leads the Fish in rushing, pass receiving and scor ing. He has gained 129 yards in 16 carries for one touchdown, and has caught two passes for 26 yards and another score. Four out of five perfect extra point kicks gives him 16 points so far this season. Joe is also second in punting with a 35-yard average on four boots. IN TYPICAL Bear Bryant style, the Fish forward wall is well equipped with speed, desire and enough meanness to handle any situation. Four of the muscle men can add all-state honors to their names, while two others wear watches of the north-south Texas High School All-Star game. Left end Don Usry was one of the most sought after schoolboy stars in the nation and was se lected on the all-state, all-Southern and all-American teams while play ing at Cleburne. Nederland’s A. A. Crews made all-state in Louisiana as a high school sophomore and again in Texas as a senior tackle. Tommy Howard, 206-pound guard, brings all-state recognition from Ball High of Galveston and his running mate Carl Luna received the same honor while at Garland. PHILLIPS’ BIG end Don Smith, 6-2, 195, played for the north all stars as did right tackle J. E. Driskell, of Lufkin. Tremendous John Tracey, the squad’s second biggest man at 6-3 and 216 pounds, was switched from end to fullback before the Baylor game and turned in an inspiring performance with 62 yards in 15 carries. Houston’s Kittens lost their only game to Delmar Junior College by a 39-6 score. CONGRATULATIONS!
