CMS Tigers Dump Giddings
In Final Non - District Game
Milstead, and Company, better
known as the Texas A&M football
team, returns home Saturday night
for a date with the Houston Cou
gars after three games on the
road.
The Aggies take a 2-1 record
into this 8th game against Hous
ton and it’s been the fine play of
Capt. Charley Milstead, senior
quarterback from Tyler, that’s giv
en the Cadets consecutive wins over
Michigan State and Mississippi
Southern.
Milstead has been getting help
from different Aggies each week.
Should the entire Company jell at
the same time the club everyone
picked near the bottom of the
Southwest conference in the pre
season polls may fool someone.
It was Cautious Charley in the
Michigan State game with the Ag
gie field general utilizing the quick
kick and a rugged defense to up
set the Big Tenners, 9-7. It was
Chuckin’ Charley last week at Mo-
bils when the Aggies had to fight
for every yard and then didn’t get
many on the ground. Milstead hit
seven of eight passes for 97 yards
against Southern, six of them com
ing in the second half when A&M
came from behind to scojre the
game-winning points.
Mississippi Southern drew first
blood against the Aggies, taking
the opening kickoff and rambling
36 yards before the Cadets could
gang up and stop the Southerners.
They moved to the Farmer 30
where they were held for three
downs and faced a fourth and 15
situation.
Mississippi decided to gamble
and won with a 25 yard pass play
that went to the Cadet 15. The
Aggies held once more and Hugh
Mclnnis kicked the field goal from
22 yards out.
A&M scored in the fourth pe
riod, moving 67 yards for the
touchdown. Jesse McGuire opened
the action for the Cadets, tossing
a 23 yard pass into the arms of
End Russell Smith.
Milstead then took over the pass
ing chore and hit Hill and Jon Few
on two completions in a row to
move the ball to the Southern
eight.
Milstead scored from two yards
out and Randy Sims kicked the
field goal to put the Aggies ahead
to stay.
A&M lost everything but the
scoreboard against Southern and
Coach Jim Myers figures the Ag
gies will have to “be at our best”
Impressive Fish
Prepare for Wogs
Fish footballers knocked heads
Friday afternoon during a full
scale Maroon-White scrimmage
tilt that left the Whites on top
by a score of 18 to 14.
Coach Tom Chandler said that
he thought that this year’s crop
>f freshmen showed a lot of
spirit and enthusiasm as well as
being one of the heaviest teams
in the past few years.
Chandler recognized several play-
ei’s as doing outstanding jobs at
their px'esent positions. He. named
Ronnie Brice and Tommy Janik as
doing fine jobs at quartex-back.
Chandler rated fullbacks Lee Roy
Caffey Michael Roquemore, Sam
Byer and Dallas Kuhn as good
men. Halfbacks Ronnie Ledbetter,
William Lager, Jon Mason and
Eddie Dolezal were performing
their duties well.
In the scrimmage Friday George
Hogan and 277 pound Bill Miller
were outstanding at the tackle
^pots. Miller injured his knee dur
ing practice and his appearance in
the opener Thursday night is
doubtful. Right now the guard
positions are being fought over
by James Philips, Jim Harper,
Stuart Beebe and 225 pound Mike
Gieb who was injured last week
but is expected to be x’eady for
the TCU Wog clash.
Chandler said he thought his
main problem with the fish team
is an old one that faces all fresh
men coaches. He said, “It’s just
bal'd to change a boy right out
of high school to a college foot
ball playei’. In high, school many
of the boys ran different forma
tions and also in high school the
boys aren’t “mean” enough.”
Chandler mentioned that his de
fensive end positions were weaker
than the rest of the line-up. He
said that the defensive end posi
tion is a hard one to play because
of the angles the offence has to
block on. “With a little more
practice and a couple of games,
I think we can build up the ends
to do an effective job,” said
Chandler.

to stay in the same park with
Houston this week. Last year the
Cougars, led by Claude King, ran
over A&M, 39-7. Houston went
scoreless this year for 10 quarters
before edging Cincinnati, 13-12
last Saturday.
A crowd of 30,000 is forecast for
the Houston-A&M game on Kyle
Field here Saturday night. Kick
off is at 8. A&M leads in the 8-
game series, three wins to two
with a pair of ties.
Aggie sophomores have been
showing signs of improving each
week with Russell Hill, Dallas end;
Wayland Simmons, San Antonio
tackle and Jesse McGuire, Plain-
view back, in key roles. Hill has
developed into a fine pass receiver
while Simmons has moved up to
the No. 1 defensive line after a
dismal showing last spring. Mc
Guire had a fine night offensively
against Texas Tech and is an ex-
plosive-type, break-away runner.
Sophomore Russell Hill
The pass-snagging Aggie caught two passes in the Farm
er’s touchdown drive against Mississippi Southern, one of
them bringing the Cadets down to their enemy’s eijfht.

Coach Ed Logan’s A&M Consoli
dated Tigers dumped a young and
light gx-oup of Giddings Buffaloes,
22-8, Friday night in Giddings,
mai’king the completion of the Ti-
gei's’ non-district slate.
The victory gave the Maroon and
White their second victory in five
starts, including a 0-0 tie with
Hearne while the loss set the Buffs
recoi'd at 0-3-1 in preparation for
20-AA competition.
Coach Logan was well pleased
with the Bengals showing, especi
ally in the second half when the
Tigers used ball confr'ol and out
standing defensive woi’k to stymie
the Herd. Logan singled out the
efforts of Fullback Jim Wright,
who racked up 97 yards in 19 car
ries; Condy Pugh, the Tigei’S jun
ior signal-caller; halfback Cyril
Burke, who tallied one TD on a
62 yard run and picked up 90
yairds in 12 carries; Center Joel
Mills, recipient of the “Tough
Tiger” awax-d against Hearne; and
Halfback Brenner Sayers’ second
half work.
The jittery Buffs got off on the
wi'ong foot early in the tilt, fumb
ling five times in the first quarter
and losing the ball on thi’ee occa
sions. The Bengal offensive unit
managed to capitalize on one
fumble recovery when Wright went
thi'ee yards off tackle capping an
18 yai’d drive that took six plays,
with 2:25 left in the period. Pugh
added two extra points on a plunge
to give the Tigers an 8-0 lead, one

The Tigers played giveaway
eax-ly in the second period when a
60 yard quick kick off the toe of
Pugh was called back by an illegal
procedure ruling. Two plays later
on a kicking situation, Pugh
fumbled the snap and the Bisons
took possession on the Bengal sev
en. Soph quarterback R. J. Nitsche
took the ball over in two plays go
ing the final two yards off tackle
with 10:35 remaining before the
half. Nitsche passed to halfback
Roy Schulz for the two extra tal
lies.
In the second half the Bengals
perked up and looked the best both
offensively and defensively that
they have this year.
Schultz punted to the Tiger 36
and the Tigers began a 15 play,
64 yard march that ended with
3:55 to play in the period. With
Pugh running the team and Burke,
Sayers and Wright running in the
backfield the Tigers racked up five
first downs before tallying. Wright
x-ambled for 37 yai'ds in six tries
and Sayers 22 in four to lead the
charge before Pugh went the final
foot on a quarterback sneak. Pugh
passed to Sayers for the extra
points.
Deep in the fourth stanza with
Russell Welch, sophomore quartei’-
back, calling the plays, Bui’ke
romped 62 yards for the final TD
with 1:05 remaining in the con
test. Wright’s try for the extra
points failed.

Robert E. Allen got his B.A. degree
from Wabash College in June, 1957,
and went to work with Indiana Bell
Telephone Company at Indianapolis.
“It looked like a growing company
where I could grow, too,” he says.
It was. Today he is an Assistant
Traffic Supervisor there. He’s in charge
of six other supervisory people and
about 100 telephone operators.
Boh attributes his rapid progress to
two main factors: the thorough train
ing he received and the steady growth
of the telephone business.
“I was trained to be a telephone man
ager, not just a traffic specialist,” he
points out. “I’ve also had practical, on-
the-job experience in the plant, com
mercial and engineering phases of the
business. So I’m equipped to handle
new responsibilities all the time. And
in this fast-growing communications
field, that means I have more chances
to keep moving ahead.”
