\TU Lournty), Wednesday, Septan her 24, IMS PAGE 8 v PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKLEY The broken-now crew from A4M lost a football game iSaturday night but that one defeat may earn them more I victories than if they had defeated the Red Raiders by 40 |points. The Cadet eleven, recruited for their ability In the split- |T attack by Bear Bryant, were unsure of themselves and the (single wing before the game started. They made their mistakes and it cost them the game, (but don't look for those miscees to come cropping ap again (when the Fanners face the University of Houston Cougars (this Saturday. The Aggies believe in the single wing now and know I what it can do They know what THEY can do qow and the Ispirit is on the up around Kyle Field. The change over from the split-T is complete, as is the (switch from a running team to a passing one. All it needs now is the polish and conditioning that can cuvne only in (practice and actual game experience. The lack of practice was s handicap to the Afgies before (the Tech game. Seven days of rain had almost completely eliminated any hard contact work for the aquadmen, and on the sloppy turf of the practice field it was next t+ impossible | to work on plays. Myers sent his charges through one of the hardest I workouts of the fall Monday, and the team looked good. They had spirit, determination and charged through the drills with | the hustle they bad been lacking. Things are looking up for the Aggies. Here's hoping it’s high. « « « The University of Houston Cougars could be one of the toughest teams the Ags fare this season. In the words of Coach Jim Myers, the Cougars “have tremendous speed in the backfield and a good, big line." The Cadets have Uttle speed in the backfield and a small inexperienced line. * -a a Starting this week in individual statistics of 8WC foot ball teams and their players will be published oa the sports page for your edification.

Game time it 8 p.m. in * Rice Stadium. There were some bright spots and some dismal ones in the 14-15 ups4t by Tech last week. The passing, quirk kicking and defense were on the bright side but these were offset by the mistakes and a weak ground attack. Coach Jim Myers and the Aggie single wing faces it second test against a Cougar team that is bieuMMl with speedy barks and a big. fast line. Compare these fac tors with A A M s light line and sputtering running game and the odds are against the Cadets snap ping their four-game inning streak that began in this same Rice Sta dium last November. The Aggie ground game was larking last week. Only three first downs were registered rushing and the top item on the work agenda this week has been to get more punch out of the running. There were no complaints about the passing of Tailbacks Charley Milstead and £d Dudley. They clicked for 12 of 26 attempts—one for a touchdown—and several were dropped by the receivers. Mil- ttead was high with 35 yards fol lowed by Fullback Gordon Le- Boeuf with 21. FH Luther Hall and Dudley had 10 each and the wing- backs did not scratch. Jon Few carruMi once for no yards and Pqwell Berry did not carry. Myers plans to continue working Berry, Snyder sophomore, at both wing- back and tailback. Although he started the Tech game at wing- back, the poeition was new to him. Jackie Hawthorne, blocking back from Nederland, suffered a die- located shoulder against Tech and will be out for the season. He was the No. 2 BB behind Dick Gay and looked good until his injury. To fill out behind Gay, Myers has moved Bill t authorn of l)e! Rio to the No. 2 spot and transferred Bob Muenter of Cuero from tail back to B. Milstead and End John Tracey also were injured la the game and missed workouts the first two days of practice this week. Milstead received a bruised shoulder wtule Tracey re-injurad a bad ankle. The Aggie line played much bet ter than expected last week end the two top hands were Tracey and Tackle Ken Beck, all-America can. didate. for in THE FINEST SPORT SHIRTS SLACKS JACKETS SUITS A&M MEN'S SHOP DICK RUBIN, *5» 103 N.
