- Tuesday, November 22, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 SWC’s Oldest Ags, UT Resume Ancient Rivalry A&M, the team voted most likely not to succeed, goes af ter its first Southwest Con ference championship in 15 years Thursday when it meets the University of Texas on Kyle Field. The ancient rivalry, oldest in conference history, dates back to 1894. Texas has a long’ lead with 40 wins to 16 for A&M and five ties. The Cadets have managed only one win over the Longhorns in the past 15 years. They eased past the Steers 22-21 in 1951 on Kyle Field. A&M will be favored for the first time in 14 years, but a glance at by-gone years shows that past records don’t mean anything at all when these two teams come to gether on Thanksgiving Day. “I don’t know whether we’re up or not. We’d better be though, I’ll tell you that,” said Coach Paul Bryant in answer to a question about his team’s spirit yesterday. “If we don’t win it’ll be the saddest Thanksgiving around here in a long time.” Fifteen Texas players, including such key men as Johnny Tatum, Herb Gray, Delano Womack, Men- an Schriewer, Bob Tucker, Pat Tolar, Joe Youngblood and Chester Simcik have never been beaten by an Aggie team.

LOUPOT’S up with the championship if they win over SMU next Saturday. “This Gray is the best lineman I saw last year. Of course that’s my own opinion,” said Coach Bry ant. Coach Willie Zapalac, who scout ed the Longhorns against TCU and SMU heartily agreed with Bryant. “Herb Gray is by far the best line man in the conference. Tatum is no slouch either. Fondren? He’ll break your back if you don’t watch out.” “Remember, everything is for gotten in this ball game. I know,” said Zapalac, who played on the 1941, 1942 and 1946 Aggie elev ens. Jack Pardee, A&M’s line-smash ing fullback, continues to hold down the fifth spot among SWC ball carriers this week, and first on the Aggie squad. Pardee has ground out 438 yards on 78 car ries and has a 5.6 yards per-try average. Bantam Bill Dendy is third in the conference in punt returns with a 10.3 average on eight runbacks. Loyd Taylor is fifth in scoring with 31 points and third in extra-point kicking with 13 out of 15. For 2nd Straight Year Texas Wins Cross-Country Ag Wrestlers Win Tourney A&M’s wrestlers swept the first six places in ten weights to score 56 points and win the team title at the annual Houston Invitational Wrestling Tournament last week end. Coach Jim Griffith’s squad went into the final round of tournament action with seven men still in the running for the top spot in their individual weights. Don Schoenfeld of the Aggie team was awarded second choice for the outstanding wrestler. First place winners for A&M were A1 C 1 a c h a r, Don Burchard, Don Schoenfeld, Jim Witcher, Ken Jones and John Watson. Charles Kappelman took second in his weight and Filemon Garza third.

He was tackled by an unidentified Fish footballer. The Yearlings won it, 13-0. A&M’s previously unbeaten cross country team lost the Southwest Conference championship to the University of Texas for the second straight year in Austin yesterday, being downed by the Longhorns, 32-41. Arkansas took third with 58 points and SMU placed fourth with 83. The Aggies had defeated the Texas team three times in earlier meets, but as was the case last year, the Longhoms had it when it counted. “I believe the difference was the fact that we ran on their home course,” said head track coach Frank Anderson. “We had no par ticular letdown, but they were a little more fired up and ready to go than we were.” A&M was undefeated up to the conference meet last year when Verlon Westmoreland, who hadn’t failed to place lower than second all season, became ill and fell to tenth and the Aggies lost to Texas by two points. Captain Bill Cocke, who had been beaten only once this year, placed third behind Arkansas’ Edward Morton and Texas’ Walter McNew.
