Thursday, November 17, 1955 THE BATTALION Why do more college men and women smoke Viceroys than any other filter cigarette? Because only Viceroy gives you 20,000 filter traps * in every filter tip, made from a pure natural substance — cellulose—found in delicious fruits and other edibles! 1. 2, 3 4, Yes, only Viceroy has this filter composed of 20,000 tiny filter traps. You cannot obtain the same filtering action in any other cigarette. 1 The Viceroy filter wasn’t just whipped up and rushed to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for fil tered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research more than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter. Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild. Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn’t know, without looking, that it even had a filter tip . . . and Viceroys cost only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters! That’s why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than any other filter cigarette . . . that’s why VICEROY is the largest- selling filter cigarette in the world! _ 2©,©03 Tiny Filter Traps rrr plus that Real Tobacco Taste Ag Offense Fish Page S Prep Explodes; are for Texas By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor Just to prove last Satur day’s dramatic scoring spree was no fluke the Aggies scored 20 touchdowns in 22 minutes of scrimmaging yes terday. “It was the most satisfactory scrimmage I’ve had since I’ve been coaching,” said Paul Bryant, A&M’s head mentor. Quarterbacks Don Watson, Don nie Grant and Jimmy Wright di rected the assault on a weak second string Fish defense. All of the Cadet backs looked good during the short head-knocking session. Bry ant plans to have at least two more days of scrimmage this week. JACK PARDEE is still A&M’s top ball-carrier, and his 438 yards gained on 78 trips are good enough to rank him fourth among South west Conference runners. Texas’ great Walter Fondren holds down the third position, just 41 yards above Pardee. Sophomore halfback John Crow appears to have lost his battle with Fondren of Texas for a berth on the all-conference eleven. Crow managed only 29 yards on eight tries against Rice last Saturday to fall further behind Fondren in the rushing department. Crow needs 165 yards to catch up with the Texas star. END EUGENE Stallings, who played his best game of the year against Rice, was one of the top nominees for Lineman of the Week in the nation this week. Stallings intercepted two passes against Rice Satm-day, and now leads the SWC in pass interceptions with fom\ The Aggies boast the second best ground attack in the league, having gained 232.6 yards per game. TCU is tops with 297 on the ground. A&M has the best defense against passes among conference schools, and it should meet the acid test Thanksgiving Day. Texas has one of the nation’s finest aerial attacks and leads the loop with 120.3 yards per game. A&M’s FISH, who can clinch the first-year championship of the SWC Saturday by downing Texas’ Shorthorns, ran through a rugged scrimmage session yesterday. The first team ran offensive plays while the second unit tried to stop the varsity’s murderous attack. Joe Pascuzzi, the leading ball carrier on the freshman squad, will definitely start Saturday. Pascuzzi ran only once in the Rice game last Friday night, but still holds a 1- yard lead over Luther Hall. He boasts a 6.2 yards per-try average. HALL PLAYED his finest game ‘SWC’s Finest Lineman’ Foes Wilt When Gray Sees Red Austin, Texas — The Southwest Conference’s finest lineman, Texas’ terrific Herb Gray, appears des tined to follow in the All-Ameri can steps of his illustrious Bay- town predecessors—Tom Stoldand- ske of Texas and Rice’s Kosse Johnson. Gray has been a menace for three seasons, but currently is at the ton of his game as he bids for All- American recognition. A pre-sea son choice as a junior, Herb missed out because' of a mid-year slump. He was one of those missing a frame as Coach Ed Price took stern disciplinary measures. Gray won the admiration of Southwest observers with his spir ited comeback in the final two games as Texas scored victories over TCU And A&M. He was pick ed on the all-opponent teams se lected by Oklahoma and Notre Dame, the nation's number three and four teams. Saddled with unique as well as vital chores this season, Gray has been consistently outstanding". He was switched from tackle to guard to better exploit his blocking skill and moves to end in Texas’ five- man line on defense where his speed and strength is needed to harass rival quai'terbacks. Herb’s new defensive role gives him fewer chances for the spectac ulars he revealed in previously, yet he still comes up with the big play, as his alertness in recent games will attest. Against Rice, Gray recovered Vir gil Mutschink’s fumble on the Owl 24 to set up Texas’ second touch down in what proved to be the turning point as the Longhorns buried Rice, 32-14. Texas was two touchdowns be hind in the SMU game when Herb grabbed a Pony fumble on the SMU 24 late in the second quar ter. The Longhoims scored on the next play, and three minutes later Gray pounced on another loose ball on the Mustang 28. Texas needed but five plays to score again and took a one-point lead that ulti mately meant victory. Regarding his multiple choi’es. Gray perfers defense because “I iust like to go after that ball car rier.” Line Coach J. T. King credits “competitive spirit and fine reac tion” with making Herb a great defensive ball player. “His quick ness of mind and foot enables him to get away from blockers and (See GRAY, Page 4) against the Rice Slimes, picking up 75 yards to run his season total to 179. John Tracey is third in rushing on the Fish team with 102 yards. Ronnie Melling has the best yards per-try average. Mel ling has gained 90 yards in 12 smashes for a 7.5 average. The Fish rate a slight favoi-ite in the season finale for both teams. The Shorthorns, although winless thus far, have moved along fast since their opening loss to the Bay lor Cubs, 7-48. They lost to Rice 13-20, SMU 0-13 and tied TCU’s Wogs 7-7. A&M’s freshmen defeated the Wogs 27-6, the Baylor Cubs 7-6 and the Houston freshmen 7-6 before being tied 19-19 by Rice.
