Ags Must Play Better Or Get Beat—Bryant . |T : The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Thursday, November 1, 1956 PAGE 5 By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor The lines on Coach Paul Bry ant’s face appeared a little deeper Wednesday as he slumped into a chair and lighted a cigarette after putting - his Ag-gies through a tough workout. “If we don’t play a much better game than we’ve been playing, we’ll get beat,” em phasized the Bear thinking about his coming battle with the very surprising Arkansas Razorbaeks, “Our second bunch looked a lit tle better defensively today,” spoke the head man. “Luther Hall looked a lot better and George Gil- lar looked good again.” With only two days until the invasion of the Ozark Hogs, the Cadets rehearsed their offense and defense and worked on their kick ing game. Like the crisp fall weather, the A&M gridders were hitting with the sharpness of the chill air they worked in. For the second time in as many weeks, a pair of Aggies were chosen as the back and lineman of the week by the Dallas Morning News. John Crow, who perhaps turned in his finest collegiate game against Baylor, made the backfield honors and big Char lie Krueger, rapidly proving as the SWC’s finest tackle, garnered the line post for the second straight week. The Aggies and the Hogs meet for the 30th time at 8 p.m. Satur day night on Kyle Field before a regional television audience and an estimated 25,000 fans. The Arkansas team holds a 14-12-3 edge on A&M and the 7-7 tie last year- kept Bryant’s Aggies from shar ing the title with TCU. For the first time this season A&M will hold a weight advant age over an opponent. The Hogs front line manages oidy 189 pounds from end to end while the Cadets will show a 193-pound average across the front. The Razorbacks will be seeking their- second confer-ence win against. two defeats, to TCU and Baylor. SWC STATISTICS ' 5 - 'v -A’ Js . .v-"' Jrv * I lilllllB PORT L A N T A -' !

Kenneth Mali Quits Second Time By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor Tempus Fugit! And how true it is. Seems like only a day or two ago I sat down to try my hand at another week of picking Saturday’s football games. Record: 17-8-1. The Southwest Conference has started rolling now with all but SMU putting two games behind them. Saturday’s slate calls for three league games as Arkansas moves onto Kyle Field for a regional tele vision stint at night, Baylor faces TCU in Fort Worth and SMU goes to Aristin. Rice hosts Utah in their fourth intersectional contest. Here’s my choices: A&M 27 — ARKANSAS 13 BAYLOR 20 — TCU 12 SMU 33 — TEXAS 14 RICE 21 — UTAH 13 After a slow start the Razorbacks have come back strong as is typical of them. TCU blasted the Hogs, 41-6, and Baylor beat them in the battle of the fumble, 14-7, but Arkansas ran over Texas, 32-14, and last Saturday surprised the nation with a strong 14-0 triumph over previously 10-ranked Mississippi. Next to our own Jack Pardee, George Nesbitt is probably the best fullback in the conference and currently leads in rushing-. Quar terback Don Christian has proved his worth after taking over in the absence of George Walker and is seventh in the SWC in total offense. A&M, on the other hand, has passed their two critical tests with TCU and Baylor and are riding the top of the league. The Aggies can smell that title now and it could be that there’s no stopping them. It’ll be a rough one in Fort Worth when the Bears tangle with TCU. The Horned Toads fell apart last weekend against Miami, fall ing 14-0, after getting beat by a point on Kyle Field the week before. Baylor is bigger and deeper and probably want to win more than the Purple. Whether tvs the bcst in dress shirts on the we west in sports Shuts, Both wulbi at the Kenneth Hall, junior fullback from Sug-ar Land, has quit the Texas A&M football team for the second time in two .years. Hall advised coach Paul Bryant by phone from his home in Sugar Land this morning that he had quit the team. Bryant said that Hall, who played in the Aggie - Baylor game in Waco Saturday night, failed to re port for football practice Monday night but later visited the coach in the latter’s home and said he would be back out for practice Tuesday evening. “He didn’t show up for practice M Tuesday,” Bryant said, “but came to my office Wednesday morning to discuss the possibility of re turning Wednesday evening.” “At that time,” Bryant said, “I told Ken to get the captains of the team, bring them to me and we vcould talk about it.” , Bryant said Hall did not bring" the captains around, did not report to practice Wednesday and “that’s the Idst l’vh heard from him until our phone conversation Thursday morning from Sugar Land.” Hall left school this same week year ago but returned for the spring semester and came back to the squad. Jim Swink has come alive and dropped Ken Wineburg into an al so ran post and looks more like the all-American of 1955. The Bears have the ability to keep it up in the fourth quarter, however, some thing the Toads don’t seem to do. SMU rides into Memorial Sta dium, once a black pit of frustra tion for other SWC teams that has turned into an opponents paradise of late. Charley Arnold and his speedy company should bomb the defenseless Steers right out of Austin. Walter Fondren is about all Texas has this year and the an nouncement of Ed Price’s resigna tion won’t help their morale much. The Rice Owls take on Utah on South Main in Houston and should pick up their fourth win without too much trouble. Jess Neely’s “group” is happy after beating Texas 28-7—their largest score ov er the Steers in history. The Owls are definitely in the race. $5.95 and up LOUS v.Vvi 15,000 teachers will be needed to teach the additional 350,000 boys and girls coming into Texas Public Schools within 5 years *5 .
