Neither on a free nor a pay-for basis. . . . Many insurance companies will insure military ground forces at stan dard rates—so will we. There has been a rather universal rule, though, that fliers have to pay considerably more for their life insurance than do the strictly mundane creatures who keep their feet on terra firma. One of the reliable life insurance compan ies which I represent has found, based on several years of ex perience with all types of military personnel, however, that it can insure pilots and student pilots at standard rates and still make a profit for its stockholders. The company does make this reservation—since military flying is recognized in insurance circles as being an extra hazard, and particularly so during the training period: If the insured pilot is killed in an aircraft accident before his age 26, then the amount payable to his bene ficiary is only one-half the face amount of the policy. If killed after age 26, the policy pays off in full. . . . All flying personnel, other than pilots, are insured at standard premium rates, with full payment in event of death at any age, any cause (excepting suicide in the first two years). . . . With flight training now for ROTC students at A&M, we know that many of them will want life insurance that will cover them throughout their flying career. They can buy the very low premium Ordinary Life, or 20 Pay Life, or other plans through my office at standard pre mium rates, and make their premium payments out of their ROTC contract checks every three months. Premiums run as low as $3.00 per month, depending on how much insui’ance the student wishes to have—and can afford. . . .

No obligation to buy. crowd, the largest in Cougar his tory, screamed their approval. A&M had moved 93 yards in four minutes to Houston’s one-yard line before Boek’s save. On the Aggies’ first play from scrimmage, the A&M 19 where Jack Pardee ran the kickoff, John Crow fumbled and Guard Rudy Spitzenberger recovered on the 20. Six plays later Houston scored as Harold Lewis ran around right end from the seven. Don Flynn kicked the point and a 7-0 lead with 11:24 on the scoreboard. A&M took Don Caraway’s kick off and moved 73 yards to the UH seven where Don Watson fumbled and Don Boudreaux recovered to end the drive. Taylor picked up 37 yards, including a 27-yard nan to the UH 39, and Pardee got 16 on the way. The .Cougars managed seven yards in three tides and were penalized to the one for illegal use' of hands. Caraway tried to kick out, but the entire Aggie line smothered his punt attempt and right end John Tracey, playing for Bobby Drake Keith who broke his jaw and will be out for the season, recovered for the Ag «touchdown. Ken Hall sliced the uprights to tie the count, 7-7. Twice in the first half the Cougars threatened seriously, but a begrudging Aggie de fense held both times. Houston moved from their own 22 to the A&M one early in the second period, but Caraway’s thrust couldn’t make it and the Ags took over. The Cougars came right back after taking Osborne’s kick on the A&M 44. With the ball on the Aggie seven, Flynn’s pass fell to the ground and the Cadet .forward wall threw him for a nine-yard loss. Osborne broke through to block Caraway’s field goal attempt and A&M took over on their own 26. Bryant’s bunch pushed out in front late in the third quarter. An exchange of punts gave the Aggies the ball on their own 43. With Osborne either keeping or passing seven of the 13 plays, A&M moved to the Houston 14. On fourth and two, Osborne made with the hidden ball trick to Pardee and kept around left end to score untouched with 1:32 left. Taylor’s kick was good. Houston returned the kickoff to their own 37 and in 11 plays had tied it up. The big gainer was a 26-yard gain on a pass from Lewis to Billy Koons who leaped and took the oval away from two Aggie defenders on the five. Koons skirted right end for the touchdown on the first play and Flynn’s point- after made it 14-14 with 11:03 re maining in the game. The Hutto linn College Station (Brazos County), Texas Tuesday, October 16, 1956 PAGE 3 Couga rs IIrush - Off Ailing CHS 46-0 By MAURICE OLIAN Consolidated Correspondent Tomball’s vicious Cougars cowed the Tigers of A&M Consolidated Friday night with a 46-0 victory over the win- starved eleven on their home court. The loss was the fifth in six non-district frays for the down-trodden Tigers, who open District 23AA competition in their homecoming game next Friday night against Navasota. CHS now has the unenviable record of four consecutive games without scoring a single point. The Cougars breezed for an unbelievable 532 yards in the one-sided fracas with 494 coming on the ground. The Tigers managed a scant 56 yards rushing, but fared better in the air, passing for 121. Tomball drew first blood with 2:11 remaining in the first quarter when Jack Metz- ler blasted four yards off right tackle capping a 30-yard drive. James Roach converted. The score rose to 14-0 early in the second quarter on a seven-play, 50 -yard march. Glenn Duke, a twisting, determined runner who picked up 117 yards in the opening half alone, went over from the 18 yard line, and Roach split the up rights. At the half, the Cougars, who have only one loss in six tilts, held a 21-0 upper hand. Turning in the outstanding scamper of the first half, Duke sailed 51 yards down the left sidelines after fighting off two Tiger defenders back of the line of scrimmage. The point after was again handled by Roach. Apparently not contented by that lead, Leonard Burte went up the middle, hitting paydirt with a 60 yard dash on the initial play from scrimmage in the third quar ter. The 28th point came on the scoreboard as Roach did his usual task. Consolidated mounted two men acing drives, one in the, second quarter that extended to the Coug ar 16 on the whip-line passing of Edgar Feldman and the receiving of Bill Hall and Alton Arnold. Another carried to the Tomball 46. Pass failures halted both. Bruner Battery & Electric Co.
