DICK RUBIN ’59 A&M MENS SHOP 103 Main North Gate “Aggie Owned” m FORT WORTH, UP)—Coach Abe Martin of Texas Christian said Monday there will be no protest over the many close calls by offi cials in the TCU-Texas A&M foot ball game Saturday although mo tion pictures of the game report edly indicated TCU scored one touchdown that it did not get credit for. Texas A&M won the game 7-6. “It doesn’t do any good to scream,” Martin said. “Sometimes you lose all the dose ones. Other times you may get them.” The pictures reportedly showed there were some seven plays close enough to cause arguments among witnesses of the game. The film, though much clearer than had been anticipated because the game was played in a rainstorm, did not permit definite judgment on some debatable plays. The film showed, according to observers, that TCU was off-side on Jim Swink’s three-yard burst for a touchdown in the first per iod, but that he was across the goal line from two yards out on EYES EXAMINED GLASSES PRESCRIBED DR.

On the next play, though, the ball is hidden, but observers said it appeared Swink’s upper body was across the goal line. On both tries, officials ruled Swink short of the goal line. The film also showed, they said, that O’Day Williams of TCU was in the end zone when he caught the TCU touchdown pass. There was some debate over whether he stepped out or was falling out at the time he caught the ball.

Dieter lifer Outstanding Fish Swimmers Open *56 Action By JOE DAN BOYD Assistant Sports Editor A&M’s Freshman splashers, featuring- dolphin extraor dinary Dieter Ufer start official ’56 action Monday Oct. 29 at P. L. Downs Natatorium. “It looks like the Aggies might have an outstanding Fish swimming team this year,” de clared Coach Art Adamson. “Ufer is probably the best freshman breast stroker in the state,” according to Adamson who expresses high hopes for the young Aggie splasher. Freestyler Nicholas Kuich, coming from Houston’s Lamar High, is another of Adamson’s promising proteges. Other members of the team are David Woodard, free style and backstroke; Mike Briggs, backstroke; Don Draper, freestyle; Robert Kenrick, freestyle and breast stroke; John Dollard, breast stroke; and Claro Hernandez, free style. Dollard hails from California and attracted quite a bit of attention winning the 66%-yard breast stroke in Freshman intramurals. Hei-nandez gained i-ecognition by copping the 100-yard intramural freestyle event. “Kenrick is probably the most versatile man on the team,” ac- cox-ding to Coach Adamson. “We are having a px-etty hard time de ciding just which is his best event,” Adamson volunteered. Billy Johnson and Coni’ad Floyd head the diving choi'es for A&M’s fish, but competition is likely to be keen for these posi tions as the season px-ogi'esses. Johnson is fi*om San Jacinto and Floyd comes to Aggieland from Venezuela. Adamson expressed pleasui’e at the fine showing made in this year’s intramural action. “An other good point about our team is the tremendous intex-est of all members,” the swimming mentor stated. “A great percentage of our Swimmers are boys from var ious dormitories who have ex pressed a desix-e to try out for the team,” Adamson concluded. Five key men were lost by grad uation from last year’s champion ship varsity team. They were Dick Weike, Gale Klipple, Gene Bed ford, George Parr, and Wynne Snoots. Weike was fii’st in the 200-yard bi'east stroke last year and Klipple was second. Varsity action is scheduled to get undex-way after Thanksgiving, but xxxost of the defending SWC Champs are already coming in in dividually and loosening up before the official deadline. Adamson urges anyone interested in joining the Aggie splashers to report to P. L. Downs Natatoriuxxx axxd start getting in shape. Savage Scores Pair For Sqd.
