Aggies Not Supermen
‘Just Boys’ Says Bryant
Wednesday, November 9, 1955
THE BATTALION
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant
may have settled the argu
ment among veteran sports
writers as to whether the Ag
gies are “Cinderellas” or just
plain “supermen.”
“Neither, they’re just a little
hunch of ragged-rump boys,”
said Bryant yesterday, his drawl
somewhat hidden under a slight
case of the flu.
In the 15 years since Coach Jess
Neely appeared on the Southwest
Conference scene, the Rice Owls
haven’t gone through a season
without winning at least one con
ference game. With the return of
five injured stars to the starting
line-up, the Owls appear in their
best shape of the year, and this
could be the turning point of a
dismal season for the Houston
school.
“They should beat somebody,”
Bryant said, “and I’m just afraid
it’s going to be us. I’ll tell you,
they’ve had more tough luck from
injuries than any team I’ve ever
seen, but they tell me those boys
will be ready to go Saturday.”
The always-tough Owls were
picked by many as the conference
champions, and surely no lower
than second. Several forecasters
placed Rice in the nation’s top ten
before the season started and the
Owls began to be plagued with in
juries.
“They’ve got the personnel,”
says Assistant Coach Jim Owens,
“there’s little doubt about that.
But no one man has started eve
ry ball game, and that’s what
has been hurting them.”
Coach Bryant announced the
principle order of business this
week to consist of “learning what
we’ve supposed to been doing all
JIMMY WRIGHT threw two touchdown passes against
SMU last Saturday night, and is tied with Texas’ Joe
Clements for the most number of TD tosses in the SWC
this season with five.

year,” faster starts in the line and
backfield, and improving defensive
play in the secondary.
“With this barnyard offense of
ours I just don’t know why we
can’t get those signals right—but
we haven’t. We’ve just got to get
more explosive speed. We won’t
be able to move the ball Saturday
if we don’t.”
The Owls have two all-American
candidates in tackle Eddie Rayburn
and end Marshall Crawford, and
an all-conference nominee in guard
Jay Riviere. Crawford and Riviere
sat out three games entirely, while
Rayburn has only been able to
move at half-speed. All three are
expected to be in top condition for
Saturday’s contest.
“They have the two finest
sophomore quarterbacks in the
conference in Frank Ryan and
King Hill,” Coach Owens said,
“Rice coaches have admitted that
several times.”
Rice owns the longest winning
streak over an opposing team in
conference history, having dumped
the Aggies for the past 10 straight
years.
C-AAA Blanks
Sqd. 24, 6-0
A goal line jinx hampered
C-AAA as Squadron 24 cashed
in on a 45 yard pass to dump
the artillerymen 6-0 and re
mained undefeated in fresh
man football intramurals.
Dick Thomas hurled the long aer
ial to end Cliff Tuttle, who drove
over for the winning tally. The
conversion try was no good.
Thomas’ first half scoring heave
was the last serious threat made
by unbeaten Sqd. 24 as C-AAA
dominated the second half of play,
and twice drove aljnost to paydirt
only to be thwarted by heads-up
defensive play headed by Don Ditt-
man and Jerry Wilson.
W. A. Hunter quarterbacked the
AAA team, relying on halfbacks
Jack Allen and Donald Griffin for
co-ordinated teamwork.
Allen also led the C-AAA defense
as center Billy Eason and guard
Mickey McCoy refused to allow an
other Sqd. 24 threat.
B-AAA’s 13-0 half-time lead
over Sqd. 23 grew to a final 20-0
drubbing, as Jack Smith led his
team through a successful ground,
game.
Marvin Blundell and Max New
man led offensive play as once-
beaten Sqd. 20 handed C-FA their
third straight loss 7-6. Sqd. 17
walloped A-Ordnance 20-11 in the
day’s only Class A basketball game.

Aggie Fish Grapple Owlets
For Freshman Title Friday
By BARRY HART
Battalion Sports Writer
A&M’s undefeated Fish and
Rice’s undefeated, but once-tied,
Slimes tangle in what may be the
battle for the first-year Southwest
Conference championship Friday
night in Houston.
THIS ONE has all the qualifi
cations of a terrific show, and a
lot of folks figure to watch it. All
proceeds from the game go to a
fund supporting the Holly Hall
Home for the Aged in Houston,
and a hard-working crew of church
women have pushed an advance
sale that indicates a crowd of at
least 15,000 will be on hand. With
an expected good gate sale and
favorable weather, as many as 25,-
000 grid fans could be present.
The Aggies have wins over TCU,
Baylor and Houston, while Rice
beat Texas and Wharton Junior
College and played SMU to a 13-
13 tie.
Coach Charlie Moore’s Slimes
had a four-game winning streak
against the Fish broken in 1954 as
the first-year Aggies ran through
Rice for a 34-21 victory.
FRIDAY NIGHT’S game shapes
up as Slime speed against Fish
power, with Rice probably rating
an edge since it appears they iwill
have a little more speed than A&M^
has power.
Joe Pascuzzi, A&M’s terrific all-
the-way threat at right halfback,
leads the Fish in rushing, pass re
ceiving, scoring and punting- and is
second in punt returns. Pascuzzi
has gained 176 yards on 28 carries
for a 6.3 yard average and has tak
en two passes for 26 yeards. Two
touchdowns and five out of six ex
tra points gives him 17 points, and
