The Cadets cashed in on the breaks early when Mike Davis par tially blocked a punt on TCU’s 29-yard line.

On the first play of the second quarter, Ronnie Brice handed off to Ledbetter and threw a key block m Swimming Badges Awarded Today Swimming badges for the boys and girls in this summer’s College Station Recreation Council’s swim ming program will be awarded to morrow to all those who have not yet received them.

After receiving the kick-off the Wogs quick-kicked on first down for 68 yards. The Fish tried some of the Wog tactics and quick-kicked the ball back to the TCU 46. The Wogs fumbled and Stuart Beebe recov ered for the Aggies on the 47-yard line. The Fish couldn’t get going and had to punt. On second down the Wogs’ quick- kick was partially block by the Fish, but the play was crossed out by offsetting penalties. Third down brought Gray Mills passing to Pat Fraley for 49-yards and a first down, a few plays later Don- ny Smith connected with Kirby Richter in a 15-yard pass play that covered the distance to pay dirt. Jimmy McAteer converted to make the score 7-6 in favor of the Wogs. Eddie Doezal returned the TCU kick-off to his own 33 but the Fish were forced to punt again. Bud Priddy returned the punt for 19-yards and TCU started a drive that was halted when the. gun went off to end the first half. The first part of the third quar ter was nip and tuck for both teams until the Fish finally got to the Wog 24 and Huggins tried an unsuccessful field goal. A TCU fumble was recovered by Huggins that sent the Cadets marching toward the goal. Dolezal climaxed the drive by barreling Farmers Sponsor High School Meet Seventy-five high school runners representing 12 Texas high schools have entered the invitational cross country meet at A&M this after noon.

Late in the third quarter, the Fish posed another scoring threat when Andy Slupski interecepted a Wog pass and returned it to the TCU 19, with only minutes re maining in the period. Soon after the fourth quarter started the Aggies tried the all important field goal that could have won the game. The first try went through the up-rights, but had to be called back because of a penalty. The second attempt failed. The next time the Fish got the ball, they drew 35-yards in penal ties that forced them to punt to the Wogs. The Wogs took the punt and gound out 65-yards for a touch down by Jack Terrell, McAteer con verted and the score was 14-13. The only other scoring threat by either team came when a Fish field goal attempt from the 26-yard line fell short. Leading ground gainer for the Fish was Sam Byer who had 47 yards in 14 carries. Jon Mason boasted the best average with 5.1 yards per carry. Fish Recover Fumble Two unidentified fish pounce on a loose ball to help out as well as Rox Covert (89), during last .night’s game with the TCU Bud Priddy (23) and Kenneth Roberts (65) Wogs. Willie Lager (25) is on his way in of the Wogs. Ags Favored Over Cougars; Longhorns Get Sooner Nod By BOB WEEKLEY Battalion Sports Editor White is black and black is white when it comes to picking who is going to come out on top in South west Confei’ence football, but the favored teams have to win some time, so here are the predictions for Saturday’s contests. A&M-University of Houston— The Cougars had to come from be hind to beat Cincinnati last week, but the Aggies surge is stronger, so it’s A&M by six. Arkansas-Baylor — The Razor- backs’ 3-0 victory over TCU last week moved them into a top con tender’s spot. Baylor is picked to finish last so its Arkansas by 14. TCU-Texas Tech—The Red Raid ers are undefeated this year while TCU has lost two, but look at the two teams they lost to. We have to take TCU by 18 points in this one. SMU-Missouri — Meredith and team finally start to click this week, but the Tigers could prove to he a rather reluctant kicking post. The Mustangs by 10. Texas-Oklahoma—Anything goes in this game and usually does. Don’t let the Sooners’ loss to Northwestern mean anything, they came back strong against Colo rado. It’s Texas by two, but we really don’t mean it. Rice-Florida—It’s the undefeated against the all-victorious in this intersectional battle. Some of Florida’s victims include Mississip pi State, Virginia and Tulane, while Rice was losing to the mighty LSU Bengals and the equally tough Duke Blue Devils. We have to stick with Florida on this one, but it’ll be close by one touchdown. Texas Christian is the team most likely to win while the Aggies and Texas are likely candidates for an upset. In either case it won’t be a bad one. Houston outweighs the Farmers by 10 to 15 pounds per man, but the Cadets should be used to giv ing away weight by now after Michigan State and Mississippi Southern. Houston has a weak pass defense so that could be the Aggies’ saving grace. Nobody knows how the Texas- Oklahoma game could turn out in that tradition studded battle. Best bet is to toss a coin and then take the team that loses. Mu m s For The Game, BRAZOS VALLEY NURSERY Kent Potts ’59 TA 2-3727 Joel Potts ’61 1800 So.
