ARTHUR RANK' ORGANIZATION PRESENTATION | RELEASED THRU f UNITED ARTISTS Reputed to contain the “finest quartet of backs in TCU history,” the Wog’s split-T will feature Quarterback Jacky Sledge of New London. Sledge was most valuable player in the high school all-state game and crafty field general of the state 2-A semi-finalists last year. Statistics promise a great exhibition of ball-handling by Sledge and A&M’s fabulous Charles Milstead, Texas out standing schoolboy grid man in 19.75., Both quarterbacks are deadly passers and hard-running ball-handlers. A&M’s bruising left halfback, Gordon LeBoeuf who averaged 5.8 yards per try against Houston’s Kittens will be challenged at that position by Wog Left Half Marvin Lasater. Lasater is a smooth-run ning San Angelo back tagged as the best all-round player to come out of West Texas high schools in ten years. COL. JOHN F.

TECH GAME — of the Southwest a threat to break Aggies Battle Cougars Best Before 60,000 in Houston By BARRY MART Baltalion Sports Editor A&M faces its toughest pre- Southwest Conference test Satur day night as they move against the University of Houston Cougars be fore an expected Homecoming crowd of 60,000 in Rice Stadium. “We think Houston will be our crucial game and it will take a good team to beat them,” obsei-ved Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant. “This will be a good measuring stick as far as we are concerned. It will help decide how we stand in the conference later on.” The Cougars boost their great est contingent in the 10-year gridiron history of the school. Houston is 1-1 on the season, beating Mississippi State, 18-7, in their opener and losing to seven I h - ranking Mississippi, 14-0, last week. Ole Miss scored twice in the first 10 minutes 1 , but the Cougars played them on an even keel for the remainder of the game. Bryant compares UH to LSU, whom the Aggies barely beat, 9-6, two weeks ago. “Houston, has more speed, more offense and more finesse than LSU,” said the head man, “And there is little difference in their first two teams.” Assistant Coach Jerry Claiborae, who scouted Houston against Miss issippi, says the Cougar line has good explosive power, speed and pursuit and are big and strong. “The cougar halfbacks have blinding speed and two of their good fullbacks—Mulholland and Johnson—are fast, too,” added Claiborne. “Their other fullback. Caraway, is as good a linebacker as there is in college football and he has tremendous power. Don Flynn and Sammy Blount run and throw real well from the quarterback position.” A&M owns a one-game edge in the short four-year history of the series. The Aggies took the 1952 game, 21-13, and the teams tied 14-14 in 53. Houston won their only contest in the finish-disputed ’54 game, 10-1, and A&M went back on top, 21-3, a year ago, The Cadets were on the LTH one with less than 10 seconds to play in 1954, but the clock ran out while some extra- curricular activity took place be- , CATERING FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS Leave the Details to me; LUNCHEONS BANQUETS WEDDING PARTIES Let Us Do the Work—You Be A Guest At Your Own Party Maggie Parker Dining Hall W. 26th & Bryan TA 2-5069 tween the two forward walls and an excited warrior flipped the ball into the air.

College Station (Brazos County), Texan Thursday, October 11, 1956 PAGE 3 Cadet Cross Country Team In Houston Meet Saturday Inexperience and ineligibility has cramped the style of A&M’s once-great track camp as they pre pare for a long distance meet in Houston Saturday. “The damage shows up most in cross - country right now,” said Coach Ray Putnam. “We have what is probably our weakest cross-country team in 15 years,” Putnam added, “And the only Treason we’i’e competing in the Houston meet with Texas Uni versity and the Cougars is to give them someone to beat.’ Ed Blake was cited as the Aggie’s best hope in Saturday’s event at Houston with Jack Heald receiving second-place praise. Other members of the thinly-cald team are Ronald Kirkpatrick, Charles Flanagan, Bass Redd, Edward Weeren, and Robert McKnight. Coach Putnam indicated quite a bit of individual effort within the ranks of cross-country hopefuls, but a lack of enough stamina and drive needed for such a tough slate of Conference contestants as the 1956 crop.
