COLLEGE STATION, Tex., Nov.
25 (A*)—Three Southwest Confer
ence teams battle right down to
the season closing for a chance to
romp on the Cotton Bowl turf Jan.
1. But the also-rans may be in
postseason extravaganzas, too.
The loser of the Thanksgiving
Day game between Texas A&M and
the University of Texas will not
be in the Cotton Bowl. That is
all the game will decide.
The winner must stand by help
lessly for two days to see whether
Baylor can knock off Rice next
Saturday in Houston.
If Rice loises, the winner of the
Thanksgiving Day classic will he
in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
If Rice wins, then it is Cotton

Bowl host.
If A&M and Rice both win, they
will end the season with a loss each
in SWC play. But Rice beat A&M
7-G in regular season play and
automatically would be host in the
Cotton Bowl.
Texas has a losis and a tie in
conference play. So it must beat
A&M and Baylor must take Rice
for the Longhorns to become the
SWC selection.
Either of the losers will be a
natural for the Sugar Bowl, with
A&M the likely choice should it
tie with Rice for the conference
title.
Meanwhile the Cotton Bowl
sponsors will have scouts spread
around the country trying to pick
an opponent for the host team.
Be,st bet is Navy, should the
Middies get past Army Saturday
in Philadelphia.
Bowl President Bob Cullum
stressed that he has no formal
commitment from Navy. But if
the Middies win, everyone expects
an immediate announcement that
they will meet the SWC winner.
But Cotton Bowl sponsors also
are keeping Mississippi, Mississ
ippi State, Clemson, North Caro
lina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt on
its list of prospects.

Mike Dowdle
Recalls Shorthorn victory over
Fish Jast year. A great tough
runner at (5-3 and 315 pounds.
He’s very fast and blocks well.
Especially likes to play defense.
Just one of the talented sopho
mores Texas plans on beating the
Aggies with on Thursday.
Maurice Doke
The Longhorns’ outstanding end
both offensively and defensively.
Fast, agile and exceedingly
tough. Also anxious to play
against Ags—was on winning -
Shorthorn team last year. Big
factor in Oklahoma g a m e.
Weighs H)5 and is 6-1.
Max Alvis
Once again, Alvis will come to
win. He also has not felt an Ag
gie defeat. One of the most
talented sophomores in the na
tion at 5-11, 195. A great blocker,
great tackier, tough runner and
fine pass receiver. Is very con
fident Aggies due for 2nd loss.
Doh Wilson
Big senior end from Houston,
Don is widely known as best
lineman Longhorns have. A great
competitor. “He will lay every
thing he has on the line for a
full 60 minutes.” Wants to beat
Aggies more than anything else.
Tall at 6-3; wide at 195.

Dick Rubin, ’59
By GARY ROLLINS
Like royalty, Walter Fondren ar
rived “late” in 1955. He was billed
as a potential All-American from
the moment he swore allegiance to
the Orange & White, but not until
Turkey Day of that fateful year
did he live up to his press clippings.
Before a national television
audience and a partisan Aggie
crowd, the young sophomore
quarterback and an unruly herd of
hardened longhorn seniors silenced
the Aggie big guns by an unheard-
of 21-6 score. This wa,s the same
dismal Texas Longhorn team that
was rated a three-touchdown
underdog at game time.
The Cadets, young and foolish,
were completely overpowered by
Texas desire; aided in part by the
passing, running and kicking of
Fondren—Mr. Football of Texas
University.
Since that bleak November day,
Kyle Field has not felt the sting
of defeat.
The seniors wearing Orange
have long since gone, but Fondren
remainis to write the last chapter
in his book entitled “Me Against
the Aggies.”
He’s a multi-threat ball player.
If you removed ’ Fondi’en from the
Longhorn lineup, you’d have a
hardy bunch of sophomores without
a leader. Fondren is their general.
In his high school days, he led
Lamar of Houston to the state
championship in football. He could
have attended any college in the
nation, but chose TU.
This season, the star-istudded
signal-caller from Houston has led
at one time or another, in almost
every statistical department.
Going into this game, he’s the
fifth leading passer in the confer- *
ence, completing 33 of . 48 attempts
for 428 yards. He has thrown five
touchdown tosses, a feat equaled
only by SMU’s Don Meredith.
Every time he places his talqnted
hands on the football, he averages
4.6 yards gained — which places
him in eighth in total offense.
Punting—he excels in that, too.
He has placed his toe in 33 kicks
for a 40.3 average.
You’ll find him second in punt
returns, averaging 11.9 yards per
runback. And as if that weren’t
bad enough, he is the third highest *
place kicker in the league, push
ing through 11 of 14 conversions.
The same old story is true. “If , c
you want to beat Texas, you have
to beat Fondren.” You see, he’s
Texas!

“Home, Sweet Home”
Kyle Field brings back pleasant
memories to 165-pound Long
horn quarterback Walt Fondren.
It was he who passed, kicked
and ran the Aggies’ chances at
SWC championship right out of
the stadium in 1955.
