Guide Posts “The first lesson of life is to burn our own smoke; that is not to inflict on outsiders our per sonal sorrows and petty morbid ness, not to keep thinking of our selves as exceptional eases.”— James Russell Lowell Station; and Irvin Lloyd, federal agencies. Each of the three- have selected their drive committees and organization is expected to be completed this week. The College Station United Chest combines fourteen drives into one effort, thus eliminating the neces sity for many separate drives, Hervey explained. The agencies participating in varying amounts in the 1959 drive are: College Station Community House; College Station Youth Fa cilities Council; the College Sta tion YMCA; the College Station Recreation Council. The Brazos Valley Crippled Chil dren’s Therapy Center; Brazos County Youth Counseling Service; Bryan-College Station Girl Scouts; Gonzales Warm Springs Founda tion. The American Red Cross; Tekas United Fund; Boy Scouts of Amer ica; College Station Charity Fund; Salvation Army; and the Brazos Coounty Hospital Fund. “Everyone of these agencies is worthy of your support,” Hervey stated. “Your Chest Committee has carefully gone over each agen cy’s budget request and believes the total budget is fair and equit able.” Hervey went on to explain that this year’s campaign slogan, “One Day’s Pay. . .the United Way,” does not mean a donor has to limit his contribution to that amount. The “one day’s pay” idea serves as a guide only in answer to the question, ‘How much shall I give,’ ” he said. Hervey concluded by saying that if any service • group, civic organ ization or club in College Station desires more information about the United Chest prior to the drive dates, Nov. 1-15, that a meeting speaker could be provided by call ing his office in the Memorial Stu dent Center. “We look forward to another successful drive,” Hervey said. Cadets Seek First Victory In SWC Play By BOB WEEK LEY Battalion Sports Editor Early this afternoon the Aggies filed aboard their plane and departed for Fort Worth and their Saturday afternoon date with the*TCU Horned Frogs, a frustrated eleven that hopes to make a Southwest Conference comeback at the ex pense of the Aggies. The Frogs must win this game to maintain their opportunity to defend their championship or at least share in it. Already the Frogs have met the quick-hitting Arkansas Razorbacks and tasted defeat by a field goal. This is the Farmer’s first venture into the conference race this season. The contest will put the two leading ball carriers in the con ference against each other, one a tried veteran and the other a sopho more. Jack Spikes, playing his last year for TCU’s purple and white, leads the conference in rushing with 273 yards on 52 carries. A&M’s Jesse McGuire is hot on his heels with 230 yards in 35 tries. But jumping Jesse is labeled a doubtful starter by Aggie Coach Jim Myers. McGuii’e came out of the University of Houston game with a injured knee and has not responded well to treatment this week. Ends Ralph Smith and Russell Hill are also on the disabled list for the Cadets, Smith has a hurt shoulder and has not worked out all week while Hill twisted his ankle in practice Wednesday. Both men might be ready in time for the game. TCU Coach Abe Martin has his problems too in the injury depart ment. He announced Wednesday afternoon that Jackie Sledge, a 6-1, 175-pounder, will start at quarterback for the Frogs Satur day in place of the ailing Larry Dawson. Sledge, who played in his first game since 1957 last week when TCU beat Texas Tech, was moved ahead of the No. 2 quarterback Donald George. The Frogs have three outstand ing players in tackle Don Floyd, fullback Jack Spikes and half back Marvin Lasater. Floyd was one of the finest junior linemen in the nation last year and was named to the Look Magazine All-American team. He also made the NBC and Gridiron Record first teams and was a second unit choice of the As sociated Press. Lasater has been a first team halfback for three years for the Frogs. Spikes was a unanimous all-Conference selection last year and made many all-American hon orable mentions. The Aggies will counter the Horned Frogs great talent with Charley Milstead and Halfback Jon Few. Milstead has drawn repeated praise this season for his outstand ing work at quarterback and his captaining of a team that has won three straight victories over inter sectional foes. Few has turned into one* of the steadiest, performers on the Aggie team, doing a great job on both offense and defense. Game time at Fort Worth is 2 p. m.
