Oh, somewhere in this favored
land the sun is shining bright;
the band is playing somewhere,
and somewhere hearts are light,
and somewhere men are laughing
and little children cheer, but
there is no joy in Aggieland,
we’ll just wait ’til next year.

mates. An unidentified Aggie
and Lloyd Hale (50), A&M cen
ter, take out the Longhorn’s
Herb Gray, who proved such a
nemisis for Aggie up-the-middle
power. Others for A&M are
Jack Powell (77) and Bobby
Marks (88). Coming up from
his defensive halfback post is
Texas’ Delano Womack.

Battalion Sports Editor
Coach Eddie Price of Texas milk
ed a stunning 21-6 victory out of
his contented Orange Cows on Pil
grim’s Thanksgiving to knock A&M
out of its first championship in
15 years.
The defeat, first since A&M’s
opening 0-21 loss to UCLA, handed
the TCU Horned Frogs the South
west Conference title along with
the Cotton Bowl bid.
“They just flat whipped us and
whipped us good,” summed up
Coach Paul Bryant, after the game.
T mean real good. Wc were for
tunate to score at all.”
The Aggies finished the season
with an impressive 7-2-1 record
despite the last game effort by the
Longhorns, and wound up second
in SWC standings with four wins,
one loss and a tie. It marks the
end of A&M’s finest season in 12
years.
Pardee finished sixth among
SWC ball carriers with 452 yards
collected on 83 tries. He had a 5.4
yai'ds-per-carry average. John
Crow was 13th in rushing with 332
yards on GG carries, and Loyd Tay
lor 15th with 307 yards. Taylor
was third in place kicking with 13
out of 15.
Quarterback Jimmy Wright
wound up seventh in passing with
368 yards, six touchdowns and 15.3
yards gained every time he con
nected. Roddy Osborne and Ed
Dudley finished fourth and fifth
respectively in loop punting, while
senior halfback Gene Henderson
was seventh.
Coach Bryant had predicted the
Thanksgiving bout with the Steers
to be A&M’s toughest of the sea
son. It was.
“Whether we get beat 60 points
in this game, though, these boys
will still be No. 1 in my book,”
Bryant said on the last day of
practice before the game. For a
team who wasn’t supposed to win
more than one or two games, this
season, and end up in the confer
ence cellar, who could blame him.
A&M was held completely in
check by the hard charging Long
horn line, and managed to gain
only 97 yards all day, lowest of
fensive production of the season.
Texas ground out 295 yards rush
ing and 96 passing to total up 391
yards for its afternoon efforts.
A&M could get only three first
downs, and those came in the sec
ond quarter on its lone TD drive.
Three Fencers
Place In Meet
An A&M fencer placed in
the top three winners in each
weapon here last Saturday
and Sunday in the Men’s In
vitational Fencing Meet.
Carl Hill of A&M took third
place in the open foil and second
in the open epee, while Bill Fink
garnered third place honors in the
open sabre.
Medaled cigarette lighters were
awarded to the top three men in
each weapon.
In the open foil Gene Allen,
Hardin Simmons, was first; second,
Jack Baird, Houston Fencing Club;
third, Hill of A&M. In the open
eppee Fred Sklar of Rice was first,
Hill of A&M, second, and John
Curry, Houston, third.
Bill Brown, Houston Fencin
Club was first in the open sabre;
Curry, Houston, second and Fink,
A&M, third.
The Cadets twice stopped Texas
drives inside their own 10-yard line
in the first half, then jumped to a
quick 6-0 lead three minutes before
halftime. A&M went 80 yards in
only seven plays climaxed by
Wright’s 1-yard smash into the end
zone.
Wright’s passes covered 57 yards
of the distance to the Texas goal
as he passed to Crow for 13, Dud
ley for 10 and Crow for 34 more
to the Longhorn 1-yard stripe.
Only 1:45 remained after A&M
kicked off following its touchdown,
but Texas was not to be denied.
End Menan Schriewef grabbed the
Aggie kick on his 40 and returned
nine yards. Joe Clements came in
and promptly fired a pass to half
back Ed Hawkins for 28-yards and
a first down on the Aggie 18.
Clements found Schriewer, the
SWC’s leading pass snatcher, in the
end zone and hit him for the score.
Johnny Elam kicked the extra point
to put Texas in front 7-6.
Texas wound things up with a
flourish in the fourth quarter.
Wright fumbled on the Aggie 46
to begin the final period of play,
and Texas recovered. Charley
Brewer, Walter Fondren and Haw
kins set up a first down on the
A&M 13. Hawkins blasted for six
and Fondren rambled over left
tackle for the score with 10:40 left
in the game. Fondi’en kicked the
extra point to make it 14-6.
Center Johnny Tatum intercepted
Wright’s pass a few minutes later
to set the Longhorns up in business
again on the Aggie 35. Hawkins
circled end for 30 yards. Fondren
picked up two, Womack added one
and Hawkins bounced through the
right side of the line for the score
with 8:17 remaining. Fondren’s
extra point kick was good again.
The longest run of the day,
John Crow’s 37-yard dash in the
first period, won’t go into the rec
ord books because of a penalty on
the play.
Sqd. 8 Grabs
League Title,
Stays Unbeaten
Squadron 8 retained its unbeaten
status in freshman football by
downing B-Infantry 14-0 and cap
turing its league title.
Squadron 17 took its league
crown last week also, and has on
ly one loss to mar its record so far
this year.
Squadron 9 downed C-Infantry
13-0 in another freshman football
game.
Speed and accuracy were enough
to .give A-Transportation a 17-14
edge over A-Quartermaster and
put them in fine shape to take their
basketball crown. The Transpor
tation team is undefeated so far.
Fred Galley and John Ochter-
beck led the A-TC offense with
Don Weber, Bud Fichte and Don
Hollister close behind. Paul Beck
man and Robert Stephenson spark
ed the A-QMC attack.
