The Fish play pound tackle, and on the right Bill Miller, here Thursday night, a 280-pound gridder. Lost in the middle is a the 160-pound TCU Wogs Injuries Appear in Ag Camp; Milstead Injures Shoulder Injuries cropped up in the Ag gie camp yesterday where they hurt the most . . . quarterback and left halfback positions. Charley Milstead, the Farmers star tailback and the present Southwest Conference total of fense leader, was led from the practice field with his face grim aced with pain from an injured shoulder. The extent of his injury is not known as of yet, although he was X-rayed early this morn ing. Before the day was finished Coach Jim Myers was not left with a left halfback on the field, all had gone in to the training table. Starring halfback Jon Few re injured his old ankle sprain while Jesse McGuire followed Milstead off the gridiron with an injured shoulder and Eddie Van Dyke a hurt back, an injury of past weeks. Robert Sanders was suffering from a sprained wrist. Myers thought it was a good practice session, but the injuries definitely had him worried. “The way everybody is hurt,” he sard, “we may not have a starting elev en Saturday.” He wfes referring to the Aggies lack of depth at every position. The Aggie coach believes the Farmer’s main trouble no longer lies in their scoring punch, or rather the lack of it. Fumbles have now begun to plague the team. Not the kind that comes from Imndoffs but the kind that occurs \fter a player is hit and falling. The kicking game pleases him the most as does the passing which he labels “fair but effective”. The defensive line has been Aggie Kegler Howls Record Breaking 297 at MSC Lanes Scores of 297 sound pretty high to most bowlers, but “fish” Bob Tomlinson of Dallas racked up the fabulous score at the Memor ial Student Center Bowling Lanes. Tomlinson’s .score is the highest iver made at the MSC and beat the old record of 287 that was set in the summer of 1958. The record score came as a re sult of a three game series that totaled 645, which is considered a very good score. Tomlinson’s high est score for a three game series is 673 that he bowled at Lakewood Lanes in Dallas. Last summer while in Dallas. Tomlinson was the captain of three bowling teams that were taking part in league play. Tomlinson said that he had never participated in league play until last summer, but had won several junior championships while in high school. He said that he usually did pretty well when he was bonding a handicap. His over all average is 181. Aggies have been plentiful in Tomlinson’s family. His grand father and father graduated from A&M. Tomlinson is a journalism ma jor in Squadron 17 and says that he’s about to get adjusted to this Aggie way of life. Since coming to A&M Tomlin son has joined the MSC Bowling Committee and will probably be representing them in the various tournaments that they will enter this year. The first tournament will be held here Oct. 24. The Bowl ing Committee chooses its team by taking the ten highest scores from a series bowling by the members. John M. Geiger, who is in charge of the MSC lanes, compared Tom linson’s average score and record score to some national scoring sta tistics and said that anyone who averages 181 is considered a class (A) bowler and anyone who breaks 200 is considered tops.

If the Sooners don’t stop them the chances are slim for anyone to put a rope around the thundering herd. Thus far the ' Longhorns have crushed three intersectional oppo nents in as many weeks and they have yet to have a score made on them. Their smallest margin of victory has been 20 points scored against luckless Nebraska in the season opener. Rated a strong No. 4 in the na tion and closing in rapidly on third ranked Georgia Tech, the team that routed SMU in their first game of the season, the Steers stand alongside Arkansas as the only unbeaten Southwest Confer ence team. The small Razorbacks jumped off into an early SWC lead by pulling a rabbit out of a hat and kicking a field goal to dump the once proud TCU Horned Frogs, 3-0. Now Arkansas has to be rated as a top contender for the confer ence crown, along with Texas, SMU and TCU. The losses suffer ed by the latter two teams might just be an incentive for them to rise up and go the rest of the season undefeated. Someone in that crowd has to lose, and it’s going to happen more than once. Arkansas is a small team with exceptional speed. They beat the Frogs to the punch every time last Saturday. TCU was a bumbling giant against them, unable to whip up a touchdown drive. Meanwhile in the lower echelons of the SWC race things are going well according to schedule. There has been the usual amount of up sets. Baylor pulled the trick against Colorado in their season opener but they quickly reverted to their normal team effort and now ap pear. to be sliding back to their expected brand of play. They did put out a fine effort against the LSU Bengals and did an exception al job in holding the score down to 22 points. Rice looked like they might have some hidden, unknown strength when they faced LSU, but quickly faded in the second half to lose the game easily. Duke polished them off with little effort last week. The Aggies might have a sur prise or two in store for the con ference leaders when tl^ey tangle later on in the season. They lost one they should have won when they tangled with Texas Tech, then bounced back and pulled the upset of the year next week when they trounced Michigan State. The Spartans showed how powerful they were the following week when they upended a favored Michigan eleven, the traditional rivals in the Big 10 conference. A&M’s showing against Missis sippi Southern last Saturday in Mobile was rather lackluster, and the players themselves were quick to admit that they were just plain lucky to pull a victory out of that one. If the previous game showings are any indication the Farmers should be up for their tilt this Saturday against the University of Houston Cougars in their first home game of the year. . They wei*e cold against Tech, hot against Michigan, cold against Mississippi and now should go back to the fine form they exhibit ed against Michigan. , It would even things up for last year.

Dashing Don has com pleted 20 of 34 for 275 yards and a .588 completion average while Milstead has hit 15 of 23 for 210 yards and a .652 completion aver age.
