Halfback Ronnie Bull chipped in with sparkling runs until he was in jured in the second quarter and carried off the field on a stretch er. Fish Take Lead The Fish scored the first time they had the hall, moving 57 yards after taking the opening kickoff Twice McFarland made 2d yard pitches, hitting end Jim Willis first and then winghark Gary Finch for the touchdown. Van Dyke's con version attempt was wide When the Cubs first got their hands on the ball they looked as if they might tear the Fish up with a ground game, as they mov ed the hall well before a penalty stopped their drive They punted, only to have the Fish bog down and punt hack. Than the Cuba put together a 51-yard driva to tha AAM 15, but McFarland intercepted a pass on the 2 to atop the threat. The score remained 6 0 throughout the half as the teama battled back and forth.

Today, in the United States, oil and natural gas provide about 75% of the country’s energy requirements; and large quantities of oil, avail able for production beyond immediate need, arc necessary to the national security. An obvious example is the gasoline that powers our automobiles; another is the diesel fuel burned by post-war railway engines. But do not overlook electric power plants, the airplane, whether jet or propeller driven, factory power plants, farm mechanization, and the revolution since World War II in home heating devices. Oil provides the energy that move* the trucks, airplanes, ships and tanks of our Armed Forces. But petroleum as a source of energy is only part of the story. In the past two decades, the petrochemicals have supplied the country with a vigorous new industry: already most of our rubber is made from petrochcmicab ... the ubiquitous plastics derive from petroleum prod ucts ... paraxylene, a petrochemical, is the raw material for one of the most useful of the new fabrics. In this area, wonder* never cease; the petrochemical* contribute more each year to the efficiency, comfort, and convenience of modern living.

Auburn Eleven Unscored On Bv Ground Attack By REX THOMAS Al BURN, Ala. — If pass plays were illegal. Auburn would ' Have an unscored-on record for 13 i football games in a row No one has crossed the goal line I in a ground play against the na- I lion’s No. 2 team since Alabama fullback Jim Loften did it in the closing game of the 1956 season. I F.ach of the five touchdowns mark«d up against the Tiger de fense since then has come on an aerial play, even though one was an 83-yard run hack of an inter cepted Auburn pass. Auburn dropped out of first place in the Associated Press poll this week in favor of an Army squad which trounced Notre Dame last Saturday* 14-2. The Tigers, Who beat Kentucky 8-0, were rank ed second in the balloting. II was in the fourth quarter of the Auburn-Alabama game at Bir mingham in 1956 that l-often ran eight yards for the last score tbs touchdown-stingy Tigers have giv en up through the line. Auburn came out on top in the game 34-7. Ken Beck running Aga face ck charges into a group of squadmen breaking up a ; play in yesterday’s short practice session. The e TCU here Saturday. s PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKLEY S Good grief, Charley Brown, and did you notice how this hack of a sports editor pulled a rabbit out of the hat and successfully predicted the winners of last week’s SWC games without fail? This week the upset nod goes to the Aggies who have a mighty tough row to hoe with the TCU Homed Frogs. It won’t be the Froggies’ day, though, and the Cadets will tri umph, 14-13. Crossing my fingers the Sunday scoreboard should read like this: ^ Baylor 12, Texas Tech 7 SMU 21, Rice 10 Texas 19, Arkansas 0 This game ought to be on TV. AAM is probably the most improved team in the conference while the Christians run hot and cold -but mostly hot. The Ags want thia game, so maybe TCU will be the polite guest and give it to them. Tech is on the downhill trail while Baylor is riding an elevator going up. The Raiders might have done it at the start of the season but pever now. Zorro loses his horse. If brother Meredith plays, HRC will hawa a field day, although I can’t imagine the Owls letting ifl^bAdly have some thing for nothing. This could be a tight game. Texas may be down after defeating Oklahoma but no body could sink so low as to let Arkansas beat them this season. Hope I don’t regret those words. Hullabaloo and all that. Back an Aggie and win a ball game. Spirit and confidence will go a long way towards winning Saturday so why don’t you go out and help the Ca dets win their SWC opener. Hey Aggies!
