That meeting drew an eeerflow crowd that filled Bayloi 1 Stadium's 50.000 seats and spilled over into the sideline beneath the stands This Saturday night the Aggies WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU’RE DESIGNING?

The Aggie* of Coach Jim Myers hsve returned the single-wing at tack, always s fine passing form ation, to the Southwest, and they have the engineer to make the passing ge Charley Milstead. junior quar terback from Tyler, the tailback in the Aggie single-wing, is lead ing the conference in total offense, . mi i* No. 2 in the circuit and No. lf> in the nation in passing. A Saturday ago he was the man at the throttle as the Aggie* ap proached their own all-time pass- in record with 237 yards gained against dpfensively-tough TCU. For the season Milstead has com pleted 32 passes out of 54 thrown for 382 yards and a tremendous 593 percentage Baylor this fall has come up with it# new multiple-w ng at tack, an offense that sets out two “lonsome" receivers, an end and a halfback, to either side. It also is an offense made for passing and the Bears have had considerable success with it as an air weapon Humphrey is the man mainly responsible for the fact the Bears are averaging 120 aerial yards per game compared to last year’s 90, and have already hit on four scor ing passes, which is as many as the 1957 Bea rs produced for the full season. Humphrey is leading the South west Conference in passing with 46 completions out of 82 attempts for 442 yards and a nifty .561 per rentage Proof of his accuracy lies in the fact he has permitted only on* interception in five games. * His completions give Humphrey rank as the No. 3 passer in the nation going into Saturday night's game with the Aggies Texas AAM and Baylor each have a receiver among the nation** leaders The Aggie grabber is huge John Tracey, 6-5, 220-pound 4- senior end who ranks No. 13 na tionally and No. 3 in the South west with his 18 receptions for 152 yards. Baylor’s ace receiver is end Al bert Witcher, a junior, who has caught 14 for 143 yards and two touchdowns, is tied for No. 1 po sition in the conference and ranks No. 11 nationally Hickman is still around to fur nish the power portion of the Bay lor attack, but the chief fireworks Saturday are expected to be fur nished by the rivai passers. —■ ■ B— —— I ■■■■ ■■ ■ ■■II ■ Farmers Hold Easy Workout Thursday The MS( Film Hoeiety Proudly Presents COMMAND DECISION ( lark (iable Van Johnson Starring Charles Bickford Walter Pai^eon Brian Donlevy Friday, October 21 7:15 >!

Great Ishuch Rental Seri** Ticketh will be honored General Admission $1.50 Season Ticket $6.00 PORT SLANT By BOB WSEKLEY After last week s SWC games I crossed my heart and solemnly swore that never again would my talented type writer bang out the Weekley predictions. For instance I could tell you that A&M is going to down the mighty Bears, but 1 won’t. 1 could even let you gaze into my own private crystal ball and let you |ge that the score will read 20-14 in our favor. Or else the word could slip out that thd Texas-Rice game is going to be an upset. It would be nothing but unethical to let you know that Rice is going to win, 15-18. There’s no use writing me letters, either, asking me to tell you that SMF is going to go down in defeat before Georgia Tech, 14-6, or that Mississippi will rip the Arkansas Razor- backs 27-6. A&M has enough reason to i>eat the surly Bears They paint our campus, fight the Aggies at a basketball game and then have the nerve to say they’re ‘‘laying for us” after they defeated Texas Tech last week The Cadets should be up for this one and the aerial circus will triumph. Rice, the darkhorse of the conference, likes to play the I>onghorns and should have a few surprises in store for the Steers. Fresh from their upset over the Mustangs last week they should be ready to pull another one out of the fire. It goes without saying that SMC without Meredith is a team Without a leader. The Mustang’s will only be getting hm»4ed service out of him this week and that won’t be enough to stop the Rambling Weeks, It Arkansas is going to win a game this season it’s not going to be the one against Mississippi. The Hogs are too weak and their opponents too strong This one could already be put in the record Ixioks as a defeat. Like I said earlier in the column. I refuse to make any more predictions on how the final score of football games will read. The Aggies trotted through one of their lightest Thursday workouts of the season yes ter day in preperstion for the Beylor game Saturday night in Waco. The Cadets worked out in a combination of shoulder pad* and sweat trousers with the empha sis placed on ball handling and timing. There was no contact work. A AM should be in good condi tion for the game, with all the injured players back in pads and ready to play. Fullback Robert Sander* is the only Ag athlete whose condition is still doubtful. This week* practice sessions have been labeled as the “worst yet” by the Aggie coaching staff. After last Saturday’s defeat by the TCU Homed Frogs the squad has had a definite let down in spirit and enthusiasm There will be no major change in the team * lineup for the Bay lor game. Randy Sims will start in the wmgbeck role, a* will Roy Narthrup at center and Don Smith at end. Jon Few ha* been impresaive looking in his third string tail back position. The shifty sopho more is one of the fastest men on the squad and ia labeled a '‘fair” passer. Ed Dudley keads the second team while Charley Milstead is the first string tail back Few was the Fish team's top rusher last year at the left half position. This fall he ha* played almost all of the backfleld posi tions.
