Con- * solidated fans were out to build up spirit in preparation for tonight’s encounter with the Waller Bulldogs at Tiger Field. The game will start at 8. Fumbling Ag Fish Salvage 7-6 Victory Over Kittens By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Writer Still undefeated, but lacking- the scoring punch that beat TCU and Baylor, the fumbling Aggie Fish Salvaged a listless 7-6 victory over the University of Houston Kittens Thursday night on Kyle Field. Outplayed by the faster Kittens, ^lie Fish lost the ball six times on fumbles and saw three drives dwin dle inside the Houston 25. A&M’s few bright spots included the fine play turned in by. fullback John Tracey and halfbacks Joe Pascuzzi and Luther Hall. Tracey play6d a terrific defen sive game from his linebacker posi tion and one of his two fumble re coveries set up the Fish touchdown. After fumbling on his first run from sci-immage, Tracey picked up 30 yards in the second half and smashed over for the score. v Pascuzzi was again the leading A&M ball cai’rier with 47 yards on 12 runs. His fifth exti'a point out of six attempts was the margin of Jifference. Hall, running from left halfback, gained 34 yards on 14 tries, inter cepted a Houston pass and broke up what appeai’ed to be a complet ed Kitten pass on the Aggie four in the last minute of play. A&M drove to the Houston 21 midway in the opening quarter, but Pascuzzi lost five on an attempted Halloween Dance The Aggieland Combo will play for the Halloween Dance to be held in the MSC Ballroom at 8 p.m. Monday.

Two Aggie drives fell short of paydirt in the second period, with the Fish losing the ball twice on fumbles. After Hall intercepted Joe Fatu- la’s pass, A&M drove 39 yards in 8 plays to the Houston 15 where Hall fumbled Hathorn’s pitchout and center Harold Davis recovered for the Kittens on the 23. With fourth down and 11 yards to go Davis punted 41 yards to Hall who returned it to the line of scrim mage and the first-year Aggies set up shop on the 22. Pascuzzi hit the middle for one, but an attempted Hall-to-Pascuzzi pitchout lost nine and two pass at- Students To Help Dedicate Aggieland For the first time in the history of A&M, the student body will par ticipate in* choosing the theme and dedication for the Aggieland. Beginning Monday and lasting a week, a box will be placed in the hall of the Student Center next to the Post Office entrance for students to place their ideas. In explaining the new idea, edi tor Kurt Nauck said that “since the Aggieland is the school’s book, we want to give the entire student body a chance to participate.” Nauck said the dedication should be to some cause, person or organ ization that ha^ a lot of meaning to the school. He said that the theme will be carried throughout the entire book. The Aggieland staff will be the final voice in the choice of the dedication and theme. ''.fgk.A ' ■' ' . LOOSE BALL—Scrambling- for a loose ball on the Aggie one-yard line are players from the freshmen teams of and the University of Houston. The ball was recov ered by Fish center Stanley Roper, after being fumbled by Kitten quarterback Joseph Fatula. The Kittens had driven down to the Fish goal-line in the last two minutes of ^the first half when the timely fumble occurred. A&M won 7-6, tempts fell incomplete to stifle the drive. Houston took the second half kickoff and drove to the Aggie 37 where, with fourth and 11, Fish left tackle Jerry Cramer blocked Davis’ punt and the Aggies took over on the Kitten 44. Two plays lost two yards and after Hall’s pass missed end Terry Boozer, Hathoim punted over the goal. The Kittens worked the ball out to their 35, where Cramer again blocked Davis’ punt and Don Usry covered for A&M on the Houston 12. Tracey, Hall and Hathorn worked the ball to the, three, but Pascuzzi was stopped for no gain and Houston took ovei*. On the next play Wayne Hol lister fumbled and big Tracey re covered on the six. Tracey hit right tackle twice for the touch down with 1:10 left in the third quarter and Pascuzzi’g perfect placement made the scoi’e, 7-0. Houston scored midway in the fourth period after Hathorn’s al most-blocked punt went out of bounds on the Fish 43. With a third and three on the 27, Billy Koons cut inside right end and went all the way. • STATISTICS Fish Kittens First Downs 6 8 Rushing Yardage 127 222 Passing- Yai-dage 15 12 Passes Completed 1 2 Passes Intercepted by 1 0 Punts 3 6 Punting Average 28 28 Fumbles 6 5 Fumbles Lost 6 3 Yards Penalized 45 45 CSC Advocates Civilians, Corps For Bowl Game Turkey Shoot Will Give Away 100 Turkeys One hundred turkeys will be given away at the Range and Forestry Club Turkey Shoot, Nov. 15, according to Dean Bibles, chairman of the ticket sales committee.

The main objection expressed was the fear that such a division of students for the game would split the student body into an ir reparable division of Corps and ci vilians. Against this fear was voiced the belief that A&M stu dents weren’t that “small,” thht they would enter the game in a feeling of friendly competition. Another deciding factor was that the division of the game into a conflict between Air Force and Army several years ago had not had any damaging effect on the unity of the Corps. The CSC also passed on to their Constitutional Committee a “work ing model” constitution for study. After studying the model present ed, the Council sent it on to be reported on at the next meeting by Bennie Camp, Gerald Van Hoosier and Bill Lilly. Also approved, with details to be announced later, was a motion that civilian chaplain Joe Blair be allowed two assistants. One is to be chosen from civilian students in College View and one from the ci vilian dormitories. Blair was chos en for his position at the last meet ing of the Council. The collection again tips year of magazines for veterans at McClos- key General Hospital in Temple was brought to the attention of the CSC. All present agreed that th$ project was worthwhile, but disagreement on just how the col lection was to be done brought comment from several members. Councilman Hugh Lanktree pointed out that last year, when boxes were put on the different floors and ramps of dorms, the boxes were treated as an “exchange” or a “take-what-you-haven’t got.” Al so mentioned was the accidental throwing out of two boxes of mag- (See CIVILIANS, Page 4) Deadline Nears The deadline for auditions for the Aggie Talent Show has been set Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. according to the MSC Musical Group.

Robert L. Darwall, member of the Center’s Board of Directors. Last year, for $1.50 per week, parents could leave their children at the nursery from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each week day. A trained teacher was secured and equipment donated for the first year of op eration in the Washington Chapel on Highway 6. W. A.

The planning board decided to grant the Center $1,000 of the $12,100 goal, $161 more than the amount requested, for repairs, sal- eries, upkeep, and the proposed ex pansion.
