Texas A&M to post on their record.
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.
They don’t have the lettermen, but

the ones they do have are well-
conditioned, well-coached . football
players.
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.

The Houston Cougars, who play
their entire season Saturday night,
will bring one of the fastest back-
fields and perhaps the best two
teams in the Southwest into College
Station to meet the nation’s third
ranked team, Texas A&M.
“We couldn’t beat Baylor for
thinking about whipping the
Aggies,” was the complaint of
the majority of the Cougars after
their 14-6 loss a week ago.
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.”

two more scores which broke the

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Bill Tyer discusses features of a training program for operators with Miss Edith Sanders.
“There’s always something different”
“In my job, there’s always something
different coming along—a new problem,
a new challenge. 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.
Bill graduated from Texas Christian Uni
versity in 1953 with a B.S. in Commerce.
He went right to work with Southwestern
Bell in Fort Worth.
How did he make his choice? Here’s
what he says: “From what I’d seen it was
an interesting business with tremendous
room for expansion. And a big fealm s
with me was the opportunity to choo e
my location. 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. My re
sponsibilities include instruction of PBX
operators, employee and public relations,
and scheduling operators to handle calls
to and from 185,000 telephones.
“No—there’s no chance for boredom!’^
Bill Tyer Is typical of the many young men who are

esting careers exist in the Bell Telephone Companies,
