Aggies Remember ’54; Battle Tech in Dallas By BARKY HART Battalion Sports Editor Remembering the worst lacing that Bear Bryant has received in his two-plus years in the Southwest Conference, the Aggies open the Texas State Fair against Texas Tech at 8 p. m. Saturday in the Cotton Bowl. Two years ago Coach Dewitt Weaver ran up a 41-9 score in Bryant’s Southwest curtain raiser, a bitter pill for one of the nation’s finest coaches. Eight Aggies face 13 Red Raiders from that same 1954 game, but times have changed and so has the caliber of A&M teams. Jack Pardee, Don Watson, Bebes Stalling's Bobby Drake Keith, Dee Powell, Dennis Goehring, Lloyd Hale and Bobby Lockett were principles is the ’54 contest that saw the Aggies lose 10 fumbles to the Lubbock team. Weaver never called off the dogs, but left his first bunch in there to run up the score, something the “original BICYCLES ACCESSORIES — REPAIRS AT THE STUDENT CO-OP eight” can’t forget. Aci-oss the line will be ends Ken Vakey, Dan Law, Pat Hartsfield and Bobby Young, tackle Bob Kilcullen, guards Hal Broadfoot and Doug Campbell, center Barton Massey, quarterbacks, Don Wil liams and Buddy Hill and half backs Ronnie Herr, M. C. Northam, and Hugh Fewin. Three of Bryant’s Cadets will see little or no action in Dallas, with one out for sure. Goehring, Loyd Taylor, and Murry Trimble will see limited duty while, tackle A. L. Simmons will not make it. “I don’t know yet whether Goehring, Taylor or Trimble will play any Saturday,” said Coach Bryant. “It’s all up to the doctor, but Simmons will definitely not play.” i a KELLEY'S Coffee Shop And Corral S PORT Q L A N T O By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor It’s back to the coin-flipping and grid-guessing depart ment again with time out to add—that out of six “predic tions” last week, fate smiled and I hit ’em all. That’s nothing short of a miracle in the Southwest, and my hat still won’t fit. Tomorrow’s schedule finds TCU and Arkansas clashing in Fort Worth for the Southwest Conference curtain raiser. A&M will be right next door facing Texas Tech in Dallas while SMU journeys to Missouri. Texas entertains West Virginia in Memorial Stadium and Rice hosts LSU. Both Baylor and Houston are on the road, the Bears taking on Maryland and the Cougars will be in Mississippi against ! The fiat In! inn .... College Station (Brazos County), Texas Friday, October 5, 1956 * PAGE 3 Tigers, Buffaloes Here at 8 Tonight ’Ole Miss. Here’s the way I see it: A&M 20 — Tech 6 TCU 19—Arkansas 13 Baylor 14—Maryland 7 LSU 20—Rice 14 SMU 26—Missouri 13 Texas 21—W. Virginia 20 Mississippi 20—Houston 13 The Aggies are pretty much the worse from a bad attack of virus influenza and a bevy of injuries in the LSU game, but Tech’s Red Raiders have one of their weakest teams in many a year. A&M should put a third loss on Tech’s record Saturday night in Dallas. The Fort Worth battle should be terrific. The Horned Frogs had last week off after crush ing Kansas, 32‘-0, while Arkansas has won twice against lesser op ponents. The Hogs will probab ly be fired up, but Jim Swink and Co. are too much for them. Baylor tries an up-to-now giant in collegiate ranks, Maryland in College Park, but the easterners are without Coach Jim Tatum, who Missouri without a great deal of trouble. Walter Fondren, Vince Matthews and the Texas Longhorns face a tough West Virginia team tomor row in Austin. It’ll be another of fensive battle with Tondren’s gift ed toe the difference. The Cougars, victors over Mis sissippi State, 18-7, last week, find tougher opposition in ’Ole Miss. This could g - o either way, but it’s in Mississippi. Consolidated’s Tigers and the Giddings Buffaloes match identical records tonight at 8 p. m. on Tiger Field as Coach Horace Schaffer’s team tides to break its touchdown drouth. Both squads own 1-3 season re cords, but the Buffaloes are bet ter than their mark shows. Com parable scores find Giddings 25 points over CHS, having lost 21-0 to powerful Rockdale while the Tigers were humbled, 46-0, by Rockdale. Once again the hometown Ben- gals find themselves undermanned and outweighed, this week by a mere 18 pounds-per-man. Consol idated weighs in at 150 while Gid dings throws a 168 average at the Tigers. Bill Kavanaugh, the Bengals’ leading rusher, has been slowed by injuries this week and will not start, although he will probably play some on the defense. John Wayne Todd replaces him at full back. Offensive starters for Consoli dated find Dan Davis at left end, Mike Walton at left tackle, Gar land Andrews at left guard, Stead man Davis at center, either David McNeely or James Couch at right guard, Pete Rodriguez at right tackle, George Carroll at right end. In the backfield will be quarter back Alton Arnold, halfbacks Bill Hall and Dee Smith and fullback Todd. Handball Society Maj. Rufus K.
