Newspaper Page TextTuesday, November 8, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggies Bounce liito Nation’s Top Ten Tigers Host Tomball After Losing to Sealy By MAURICE OLIAN CHS Sports Correspondent A&M Consolidated’s downtrod den Tigers, their latest loss being a 60-21 slaughter at the hands of Sealy, try to salvage something ' from a disappointing season when they host Tomball Friday night in their season finale. SCORING ALMOST at will the tremendous Sealy Tigers blasted closer to their second consecutive 25-A title by crushing outmanned Consolidated last Friday night at Sealy. It was strictly “no contest” as Sealy scored the first four times they had the ball, to the delight of a large homecoming crowd, to rack up their third straight dis trict win and their seventh in nine starts. Paced by a quartet of speedy backs, Sealy ground out 224 yards rushing, while their tight defense held Consolidated to a mere 34 yards on the ground. Sealy also completed 10 of 21 passes for 179 yards while CHS made good on four of 16 for 87. Gymnastic Club The first meeting of the A&M gymnastic club will be held tomor row in room 352 of White coliseum at 5 p.m. This will be an organi zational meeting. All returning team members and interested per sons are urged to attend, said Bud Mathews, gymnastics team coach. CHS BROKE the ice with one play, after Sealy opened the sec ond half with two quick scores. Alton Arnold took a Sealy kickoff and sprinted 91 yards to pay dirt. Bill Kavanaugh ran over the extra point to cut the score to 47-7. Coach Horace Schaffer’s crew, still scrapping gamely, but hope lessly, scored twice in the final 1:14. Feldman hit Arnold with a 32-yard pass for one, and then passed 13 yards to Manuel Garcia for another. With Safety Earn Monday Off For ‘100% Effort’ By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor Back on the championship road after clubbing SMU 13-2 Saturday, the Aggie bandwagon rolled into the nation’s No. 9 position on the Associated Press’ Poll this week. In cracking the nation’s leading 10 teams for the first time this season, the surging Aggies climbed in just behind TCU with 448 votes. TCU has 551 votes, including three first place ones. Ohio State ranks 10th with 430. “I turned them loose today,” said Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant Monday, somewhat hoarse from a cold, “that is, all the boys who played Saturday night. They were pretty well bruised up after the game, and deserved a rest after the way they tried.” The boys gave 100% ef- Squadron 7 A-Ordnance Cuffs 2-0 By JOE DAN BOYD Intramural Sports Writer A dramatic pass intercep tion by A-Ordnance backfired yesterday to hand Squadron 7 a scant 2-0 victory, and drop the Ordnance team from the undefeated ranks in freshmen in tramural football. Ironically, it was A-Ordnance’s brilliant quarterback, Davis Ford, who intercepted the stray Squad ron 7 aerial behind his own goal line, and was trapped for the safe- We Highiy Recommend To Too SPRED SATIN—100% Lafex Paint 25 Gal. 59 Qt.

Gene Bye and Bob Moore an- chared the A-Ordnance line suc cessfully, while Ford played su perbly as a defensive linebacker. Squadron 7 was held to four pene trations. The Ordnance offense was all Ford, as he passed beautifully to Tom Hendrix and Bob Moore for most of their yai'dage. When Ford ran he found Sqd. 7’s alert Don Burkett, John Leavesley, or Buster Mott waiting for him each time. Squadron 7 controlled the ball just as well, as Ybarra tossed the elusive pigskin to the likes of glue fingered Paul Adams and James Rowalt.

A&M’s undefeated cross country team continued its winning ways against SMU last Saturday, sweeping the first five places to crush the Pony team, 15-44. Again led by captain Bill Cocke, who turned in a fine time of . 14:57, the Aggies ran the three-mile dis tance for the first time this sea son and ran away from SMU. The 15 points scored by A&M repre sents the lowest possible score. “The team has made a clean sweep of all meets so far and may wind up as undefeated champions,” (See TRACK, Page 4) fort, and it was as good as we’ve looked all year,” Bryant continued. STILL PACING the South west Conference, A&M holds a 3-0- 1 mark in loop play. Fast improv ing Texas jumped ahead of idle TCU in the standings this week by edging Baylor 21-20. The Long horns are second with three wins and one loss, while TCU ranks third with two wins and a single loss. These three teams are the only ones still in the running for the SWC title. “We did a lot of things wrong,” Bryant said, “one thing, we were missing a lot of signals. We should not be doing that this late in the year. There’s really no excuse for it.” “We lacked that explosive speed in the backfield and line both. We looked very poor at times. We’ve gotta’ fire out of there to score. That’s true of the SMU game, or the ones coming up.” JACK PARDEE, who’s savage line-backing and bruising runs stood out among his team’s great efforts, gained 55 yards in six car rier to hike his season total to 408 yards. Jack is now fourth among SWC ball carriers, and sixth in to tal offense. He has picked up an average of 5.9 yards per try. The Christoval Crusher was credited with 13 unassisted tackles, and twice caused SMU backs to fumble. He dashed 42 yards in the final period for the game’s longest run, and might have scored had he been fresh.

Yeh, he’s pretty tough.” JOHN CROW made one of the most “impossible” runs of the sea son when he hauled in Jimmy Wright’s pass and flattened three Mustangs, including 256 - pound Goss, on his 21-yard jaunt into the end zone for the first Aggie TD. “I was going down when the last man hit me and pushed me over for the touchdown,” said Crow about his brilliant run.
