The Battalion Collette Station (Brazos County), Texat Tuesday, November 18, 1958 PAGE 3 Vengeful Farmers Rip Owls, 28-21 By BILL HICKLIN Battalion Sports Writer Revenge is sweet, and “Army’s country cousins’” had sugar dripping from their lips for 60 minutes Saturday afternoon as they rose up to slam the favored Rice Owls, 28-21. A Rice Stadium crowd of 57,000 watched in awe as the Ags, tot ally avenging last year’s 1-point tumble to the Owls, released a flawless attack featuring Char ley Milstead. Milstead, hobbling on a knee injured in the SMU game, scored two touchdowns, passed to John Tracey for another and booted four extra points. During the 50 minutes he menaced Rice, Mil stead completed 15 of 28 passes for 165 yards and accountfed for all but 69 of the 274 total of fense yards accumulated by the Aggies. The Cadets, playing the Owls to a complete first half stand still, utilized a 70-yard drive to tie the score at 14-14 a bare five seconds before intermission. Then, shortly after the half, a crushing 55-yard blocked punt return by blocking back Gordon LeBoeuf snapped the deadlock and paved the way to victory.

But the marker came on a 12-yard, fourth-and-three pass from Milstead to Tracey. The then potent Owls came right back, driving 64 and 72 yards for a pair of tallies with thd short plunges of fullback Hart Peebles doing most of the damage. Jon Schnable tallied the first Rice score after his 14- yard pass to Buddy Dial and a 15-yard personal foul penalty against the Cadets put the *ball on the Ag 4. Peebles, who led the Rice offense with 63 yards in 22 car ries, appropriately ended the second Rice drive with a 1-yard plunge. Billy Bucek added the second of three successful con versions and Rice led, 14-7, with 4 minutes and 20 seconds left in the half. But the Ags weren’t behind for long. Milstead, defying both time and logic, began throwing on virtually every down. Sims “Up in Air” With the seconds ticking meth odically away, Milstead hit leap ing Jtandy Sims for 17 yards and again for 16 more and a first down on the Owl 2. A line plunge and off-setting pen alties devoured more valuable seconds. Then, with but five seconds remaining in the half, Milstead, riding the blocks of Tracey and Ken Beck, drove in for the score and the Ags had earned a 14-14 tie. The crowd had just begun to get settled for the second half when the Cadets regained the lead.

The Exchange Store ‘‘SERVING TEXAS AGGIES” third quarter, LeBoeuf grabbed a Rice punt partially blocked by Don Smith and, aided by a key block from Beck at the Owl 10, sped 55 yards to put the Aggies in command, 21-14. Tracey Shines Late in the third period, the Ags struck again. Starting! at the Aggie 36, Milstead tossed to Sims for 24 and to Tracey for 13. He then found the brilliant Tracey, who caught three passes for 50 yards, open at the Owl 2. The strike netted a first down and set up the winning score, which Milstead tallied oh fourth down against a desperate Owl line. Bobby Wifight, third - string Rice quarterback, began filling the air with passes in an effort to avoid the inevitable. He pitch ed to Bucek for 31 yards on the last play of the third quarter. Dial then became his principal target, as Wright hit him for 19 and 10 yards and a first down on the Cadet 2. A plunge lost a yard before Wright, again finding the elu sive Dial open, tossed to him for the score. A delay penalty forced Bucek to kick true from the 8. Sophomore Jon Few Few seems to have come into his own in Saturday’s game with the Rice Owls. The blond tailback took charge of the second unit in the final seven minutes of the game and marched his Ags to the Rice 2-yard line, running out the clock. Dulock No Giant In Size; But A Mighty Aggie Runner Freddy Dulock, Aggie cross country ace, isn’t much bigger than his home town, Axtell. But the flashy Central Texas lad is fast making a name for himself among Southwest Conference circles. Milstead Tops SWC In Passing, Offense Charley Milstead and his magic arm continued to lead the SWC in total statistics while teammate John Tracey dominates the receiv ing department. The blond bomber from Tyler has 1189 yards in total offense, 944 of them via the aerial route for a 5.1 yard per try average. Mil stead also leads the conference in passing, completing 74 out of 134 attempts for a .522 per cent com pletion average. Tracey has almost doubled his nearest competitor in receiving, both in the number of passes caught and in the yardage gained. Randy Sims is third in that de partment behind Tracey and Bay lor’s Albert Witcher with 18 re ceptions for 249 yards. Witcher is only one pass ahead of Sims. To date, Dulock has participated in six meets, finishing no lower than ninth. And that was at Houston against the major col leges of Louisiana and Texas. Last Wednesday, he carried the Ag distance men to a 37-23 vic tory over Brooke Army Medical Center. Dulock took second in the 3-mile event, traversing the dis tance in 15 minutes flat. Earlier, Dulock had captured the second place medal in meets against the University of Houston and Oklahoma University. He al- annexed fourth place honors in the Texas Invitational Meet and in a meet with Southern Methodist Un iversity. His best time thus far was the 14:57.0 he reeled off against the Sooners. Today is the big one, however, as Dulock and the 'Aggies travel to Fort Worth for the Conference meet. Dulock was 13th last year. “But I feel I can do better. . . eighth or ninth,” declared th^e op timistic speedster. He has also been hampered with a side injury. “I hope it doesn’t bother me,” he said. “It didn’t hurt against Brooke.” Dulock, a junior letterman, came to A&M from Axtell, a tiny town near Waco. He was born in Elk, however, but attended Axtell High School where he was class vice president hi&. sophomore and .sen ior years* He earned two letters in football and basketball in addi tion to a pair of numerals in track. He raced to a seventh place finish in the mile his senior year at the Texas State Track Meet with a time of 4:38.0. An accounting major, Dulock has no definite plans for the future. “I might like to become a certified public accountant,” he declared. But right now, Dulock, attend ing A&M on a part scholarship, is most concerned with the con ference meet. The cross-country has been changed from a 2-mile to a 3-mile grind. Perhaps the change will be favored for Dulock and the Ags in Fort Worth today.
