Soccer Squad Wins
In Unsung Hero Role
Aggies’ Ball!
Jaime Quesada, Aggie forward from Spain is
preparing to block a kick in the game last
Sunday with the Houston Spurs which found
A&M on the heavy end of a 13-0 score. The
soccer team has now advanced to the state
semifinals, and will meet the champion of
the San Antonio and Dallas Soccer Associa
tions in the near future. •
Captained by Nick Hopkins, the
Ag’gie soccer team ended its regu
lar season with a 13-0 win over the
Houston Spurs last week. This
was the final game for the Houston
Association and placed the A&M
team in first place.
Four teams made .up the Houston
conference this year, the Aggies,
the Houston Spurs, the Blue Stars,
and Houston United. Each team
played six games during the sea
son.
The Aggies and the Blue Stars
were tied at the end of league play
with five wins and one loss under
the usual scoring method of two
points for the winner, none for the
loser, and, in case of a tie, one for
each team, and the Association de
cided to determine the winner by
goal average—dividing the points
made against the team into the
points made by the team. By this
method, the Aggies were determin
ed the winners.
The Aggies finished the regular
season with an overall game rec-
oi’d of 10 wins and one loss, and a

league in the
next round of the state-wide elim
inations.
The Houston playoff was a long
and bitterly fought struggle, with
the champion still unknown until
the final whistle of the second
game Sunday.
The Aggies and the Stars had
each beaten the ottaer once—and
neither had lost any other game.
If both teams won Sunday, the
decision was to be made by goal
average — the total points made
against a team divided into the
points made by the team.
Before game time Sunday, the
Stars were leading A&M by a large
margin, and the Aggies went into
the game with but one aim—to
make goals, which they did with a
vengeance. Carlos Salinas pushed
through four, Jaime Quesada and
Gustavo Gamero accounted for
three each, Victor Artecona scored
two, and Hector Villarreal added
another for the grand total of
thirteen.
This gave A&M a slight edge,
but the outcome rested on the sec
ond game. For the Blue Stars to
pull ahead, the important thing
was for them to keep United from
scoring.
When United replied to the Stars - ’
first goal with one of their own,
the Aggies on the sidelines went
wild with glee, and when United
added still another, it began to
look like an upset.
But the filue Stars pulled them
selves together and put through
four fast goals in the last half to
win the game. United’s two points,
however, had ruined their goal av
erage, and the Aggies walked away
with the Association Champion
ship.
conference record of 5-1. They will
meet the winners of the San An
tonio Association in the first round
of the state semi-finals within the
next two weeks.
High scorers for the Aggie team
were Jaime Quesada with 12 points
and Carlos Salinas with nine. Que
sada is from Spain and Salinas is
from Bolivia.
Captain Hopkins said that the
power on the Aggie team was its
teamwork and passing the ball, and
not in the rough play. Ernesto Al
varez, regular goalie for the team,
is considered by many people as
one of the best in the state. He
works out with an El Salvador
team during the summer. Quesada
and Salinas are the best ball han
dlers, which accounts for their high
scoring record.
A soccer team consists of eleven
players, five offensive men, five
defensive, and one goalie. They
can use anything BUT their arms
in striking the ball, the head being
a very important part in scoring.
The field is 100 to 120 yards long
and from 50 to 100 yards wide. The
rules, field size, and method are
the same the world over.
A goal is made when the ball is
inside the 8x24 foot goal. There
are no set plays as in football, and
the ball, about the size of a volld^-
ball, is constantly in motion during
the 45-minute halves. Only five
substitutions are allowed and no
time-outs are called to slow down
the fui’ious pace of the game.
Other players making up the
starting eleven are Gustavo Game
ro from Honduras, Victor Arte
cona from Paraguay, Hector Vil
larreal from Mexico, Ernesto Al
varez from El Salvador, Hector
Marciucq from Panama, Alfonso
Aldape and Jose Buentello from
Mexico, and Miguel Irias from Ni
caragua.
Plans are now being drawn for
a new “T” Association Club House,
it was disclosed by A. L. Simmons,
President of the club and comman
der of Co. “B” Athletics.
It has been felt in some circles
that Texas A&M has been in need
of such a building for some time
and was far behind other schools
in the Southwest Conference who
have had such facilities for some
time.
The tentative plans have been
presented to a few of the top ad
ministrators of the college and
were received enthusiastically.
As it now stands, the building
will be placed either on the prop
erty of the college or a selected
location in the immediate vicinity
of Bryan or College Station.
The proposed club house will be
for the exclusive use of both past
and present “T” men. It will
serve as a recreation center and
meeting place for the present
members and as a place for reun
ions of returning lettermen.
If the present plans remain as
they are, the building will contain
approximately one thousand square
feet of floor space. This will al
low enough room for a large
lounge area plus a recreational
area. This area will contain a pool
table and a ping ponk table.

The initial building will be fi
nanced by the treasury of the
present “T” Association and not
from college funds. Much of the
labor will be donated by the pres
ent members.
In other association action, the
members voted to enforce the col
lege regulation concerning the
•wearing of “foreign or high school
award lettei's” on students’ jack
ets or sweaters.
It is a violation of the college
regulations to wear such numer
als, and only college awards from
Texas A&M are authorized. The
athletes will be backed up in their
efforts by the Office of Student
Affairs.
New members to the “T” Asso
ciation will undergo formal initia
tion ceremonies next Monday
night, March 10.
