Last year, their season was a booming success, because they tied the Cadets 14-14 and blemished the Aggies’ undefeated record. It seems that whenever the Cougars make contact with A&M, they like to play “A&M-type” football— rough, hard-contact football. The Cougar hacks are fast, or better yet, faster than the Aggies.

So far this year, the Cougars have a more-than-impressive re cord, boasting a victory over Miami Uuniversity, 7-0; a moral victory in their loss to Baylor, 14-6—the Cougars had the “flu” that week, and played without some of their regulars; and a victory over scrappy Cincinnati, 7-0. Many people will point to the Miami win over Baylor last week as a measuring stick of Cougar performance, but it might be added that when U of H was at their strongest, they defeated what some call the strongest Voffensive unit in the nation, Miami’s Hurricanes. Aggie Coach O. A. “Bum” Phil lips has warned and re-warned the varsity, who seek their fourth triumph of the season, that the Cougars actually hate “Aggie Red.” Their personnel, especially in the backfield, is comparable to any in the Southwest Conference. Hal Lewis, 195-pound, 6-foot Cougar right halfback has turned the 100 yard dash in 9.7, and has person ally accounted for the larger per centage of the U of H rushing total. Those who saw the Fish play the Kittens last year, will no doubt remember Claude King, the scor ing sensation from Vicksburg, Miss, who dashed for all three touch downs against the Aggie freshmen. In fact, he scored all of the fresh men touchdowns for U of H last year. The “Big Red” line is not as impressive as last year, but they like beating the Aggies—something that has been bred into the Hous ton Cougars.

But the Aggies still practiced Tuesday on all phases except kick off and it was the first day to work in pads against Houston’s offense and defense, though there were enough players in sweat suits to make you think it was only a light workout. Injuries and illnesses still plague the Aggies and hamper practice conditions severely. “We had a fair workout today and the first team did fairly well out there” said Coach Paul Bryant yesterday. “Just like it’s been going the past two weeks,” was his reply to a question of how seriously the illnesses affect practice sessions. “We have some coming from the hospital, some going and some still sick. The' player misses the workout and hurts the workout and hurts himself.” Loyd Taylor is still very weak and has a colorless complexion. He will be allowed to start running plays today. John Gilbert is still out with the flu. Only the first string looked good in the practice session with a composite of the fourth and freshmen teams making it an embarrassing afternoon on oc casion for the second and third squads. The guard slots are still the big gest headache for the Aggies with their play against Missouri not being heartening. Joe Munson of Angleton and Bill Godwin of Orangefield have been playing pretty well and according to Coach Bryant are “the best of any of the guards.” Tailor Made FRESHMAN GREENS $23.00 ZURIK’S North Gate BROWNING AUTOMATIC .22 RIFLE $69.50 STUDENT CO-OP STORE North Gate Claude King 175 pound sophomore halfback from Vicksburg, Miss., will lead the Cougar’s running offense against the Aggies Saturday.

When 1 got out of col lege I wanted to make sure I didn't settle down to a job of boredom. There’s never been a chance of that at Bell.” That’s Charles W. (Bill) Tyer talking.

I wanted to work in the Fort Worth area.. “I came In under the Staff Assistant Program for college graduates. I spent several weeks in each of the company’s five departments. Then I went back for six months of intensive training in our Traffic Department. “After training, I was promoted. One of my first jobs was setting up and super vising a customer service improvement program. “In January, 1956, I >vas again pro moted. My present job is assistant to the District Traffic Superintendent.
