Ranger scoring record when he
made 27 goals and 50 assists for
77 points. Only Gordie Howe, Ted

Aggies Workout Inside;
^Coiiies To Flay’
The Aggies, preparing for the
SMU Mustangs, ran through a
light workout yesterday in White
Coliseum after rain again forced
them inside.
“If we could just get SMU up
in the gym I believe we could score
on them,” suggested Coach Paul
Bryant at the end of the work
out. “I know we can beat them
up there but I hope we do as well
on the field.”
“After the workout in the gym
we went outside and ran a little,”
said Bryant. “The boys found out
they weren’t in such good shape.”
At The
Student Co-Op
The Mustangs will bring a team
with more speed than Texas and a
backfield foursome that is perhaps
faster than Arkansas. They
possess the kind of speed that may
give the Aggies trouble.
“The boys (SMU) played a good
game against Texas, and they’re
looking forward to meeting the
Aggies,” commented SMU line
coach Sharkey Price earlier this
week. “We know the Aggies come
to play and that’s what we intend
to do, COME TO PLAY.”
Coach Bill Meek is the head
coach of the Mustangs and A&M
fans need no reminding of his up
setting capabilities. Meek coached
the Houston Cougars to a 14-14 tie
last year in Houston.
The tie is the only mar on an
Aggie record that hasn’t been
otherwise blemished in 17 conse
cutive outings.
The Aggies are in good shape
for the game with only Darrell
Brown a questionable starter. Loyd
Taylor is due to start at right
half' but Bobby Conrad will be
ready to play.
Brown will run on his leg today
and if it responds properly he
will be allowed to play against
SMU.

“I’m in a business
dreamed of
three years ago”
“In a company that develops new ideas by
the thousands,” says 30-year-old William K.
Cordier, manager of General Electric’s Man-
Made Diamond pilot plant, “a young man’s
career progress need not be limited by his
particular field. In my five years with Gen
eral Electric, I’ve gained valuable experience
in several different fields, and each assign
ment has helped me to move ahead. Right
now, I have an exciting job. I run the world’s
first diamond-making plant — a business no
body dreamed of three years ago.”
Kubek, Sanford
Major League
Rookies of Year
BY JACK HAND
NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (AP) —
Tony Kubek, the New York Yan
kees valuable jack-of-all-trades,
and Jack Sanford, a 19-games win
ning pitcher and strikeout ace of
the Philadelphia Phillies, are the
1957 major league Rookies of the
Year.
A 24-man committee of the
Baseball Writers Assn., composed
of three from each league city,
did the voting. The results were
announced today.
Kubek won by a 23-0 landslide.
The other ballot named Frank
Malzone, Boston Red Sox third
baseman, who previously had been
declared ineligible because he had
103 at-bats in a 1956 trial.
Sanford had more competition,
but the Phils’ 28-year-old right
hander won impressively. He got
17 votes. His closest rival was a
teammate, first baseman Eddie
Bouchee, who received four votes.
Dick Drott, the Chicago Cubs’
speedy righthander, had two votes
and Bob Hazle, Milwaukee out
fielder, had one.
It was a foregone conclusion
that Kubek, who was 22 last
month, would be the American
League winner, after the writers
ruled Malzone ineligible. Manager
Casey Stangel played the 6-3, 190-
pound Milwaukee hid all around
the horn. Voted the most likely to
succeed at the Yankee camp in
spring training although he wasn’t
even on the big league roster,
Kubek finished ninth among the
league batters with a .297 aver
age.
TEXAS GOES FOR POSSESSION
AUSTIN, Tex. (APP)—A pass-
minded team a year ago, Texas has
switched to a ball possession game
under Coach Darrell Rooyal’s Split
T attack. Chief ball carrying
threats include quarterback Walt
Fondren and Bobby Lackey, a
sophomore.
Diamond Making a Reality
The job Bill Cordier holds is an important
one, created because General Electric has
the scientific and technical resources needed
to seek out new knowledge and swiftly trans
late it into products that people want and
need. In 1955, the company announced a
major scientific breakthrough — the produc
tion of real diamonds in the laboratory. To
day, little more than two years later. General
Electric is making and selling quantities of
these diamonds for civilian and defense use.
Achieving Three-Way Progress
General Electric’s ability to take on and
solve big problems — in research and dev el
©pment as well as every phase of production.
— is constantly creating challenging ne^ op
portunities for the 29,000 college grade :
at the company. As we see it, bj' providing i.
healthy climate for a young man s self-de cb
opment in whatever area he may chop c,
vre encourage not only his own progres', bu
that of the company and the nation as well.

The Thundering Herd
Left half Lon Slaughter and fullback Ray Masters spear
head a speedy and potent Mustang backfield which has
averaged 20 points per game in Southwest Conference ac
tion this year. Slaughter is 6-0, 180 pounds and Masters
is 6-0, 195 pounds. Both are seniors and fine pass receiv
ers. Masters excels on defense.
Conditions Favorable
For Major Upsets
Take an ambitious,
young football coach,
personable
a squad of
pretty good players and a burning-
desire to knock somebody off the
top and you have a pretty good
formula for creating an upset. It
has worked more than once this
season and it could work again
Saturday.
Coaches who come quickly to
mind include Missouri’s Frank
Broyles, Washington’s Jim Owens,
Mississippi State’s Wade Walker,
and California’s Pete Elliott.
Missouri and Broyles run up
against the so far unbeatable com
bination of Oklahoma and Bud
Wilkinson in the game which likely
will determine the Big Eight
championship and one of the
Orange Bowl contestants.
This is the one which really
seems to have Wilkinson worried.
The Sooners, lacking the over
whelming offensive punch of the
last two seasons, had to work hard
against Colorado and Kansas State
to gain their 45th and 46th con
secutive victories. Missouri, after
a shaky start in Broyles’ first sea
son as coach, has come along to

win four straight. Against two
common opponents, Iowa State and
Colorado, the Tigers have done
about as well as the Sooners.
Washington’s only victory so far
knocked defending champion Ore
gon State out of contention in the
Pacific Coast Conference. Now it
faces the current leader and pros
pective Rose Bowl team, Oregon.
Meanwhile Elliott’s equally unsuc
cessful California team faces Ore
gon State.
Walker’s second Mississippi
State team, now third in the South
eastern Conference with a 3-1
record, encounters unbeaten Au
burn. So far it has been almost
impossible to score on Auburn, so
a victory would bring tremendous
prestige and likely a bowl bid.
Add to this unlikely list of up
sets the chance that Southern
Methodist, under a new but ex
perienced coach, Bill Meek, can
knock off the nation’s top-ranked
college team, Texas A&M, and
you have the intriguing possibility
of having the leaders of five major
conferences beaten. The odds
against such a happening are in
calculable.
Duke, Atlantic Coast pacesetter,
goes outside its league to meet
Navy in the most important game
along the Eastern seaboard. VMI
and West Virginia, both unbeaten
in Southern Conference competi
tion, play Lehigh and Pittsburgh,
respectively. Air-minded Utah of
the Skyline Conference ventures
east to tackle powerful Army, and
Houston of the Missouri Valley
plays Mississippi Southern. If they
should lose it won’t affect confer
ence standings.
Ohio State, the Big Ten leader,
is in a risky spot against a Purdue
team that surprised Michigan
State and Illinois^ but the chances
are the Boilermakers are through
upsetting for the season. The
same goes for Louisiana State, op
ponent of Mississippi’s Southeast
ern Conference hopefuls.
Notre Dame, loser to Navy in
one of last week’s main upsets,
appears likely to come out on the
short end again against Michigan
State.
