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-

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-

ty. Ford’s catch came early in the
second half of the thrill-packed
game, and was from the busy arm
of Bruno Y’barra.
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.
Squadron 16 dropped a close one
to A-Transportation, 18-13; A-
Field blanked Squad. 18, 7-0; B-
Engineers trounced Sqd. 15, 18-0,
and Sqd. 19 won a 6-6 tie on pene
trations.

so convenient,
so comfortable.
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,”

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.
Other Aggie stalwarts Avere Loyd
Hale, Jack Powell, Charlie Krue
ger, Dee Powell and Dennis Goehr-
ing. Goehring recovered two Mus
tang fumbles, and of huge Tiny
Goss he said — “Goss? 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.
Crow’s touchdown came after the

I’LL TAKE IT says Aggie halfback John Crow as he
snatches Jimmy Wright’s pass out of the hands of an
SMU defender and starts on his great 21-yard touchdown
jaunt in the second quarter. Crow ran right over SMU’s
Don Mcllhenny and two other defenders in getting the
Aggies’ first score. A&M went on to crush the Ponies,
13-2.
