Ags Last National
Football Champions

The last Southwest Conference
team to win the national cham
pionship—Texas A&M of 19;i9—
held a reunion the other day.
The word “last” in this instance
might well mean just what it says
—there may never be another
Southwest Conference team take
the natioftal crown.
It isn’t because there haven’t
been teams worthy of it—there
have been many. That’s the rea
son no team has won it lately and
perhaps never will. The compe
tition inside the Southwest Con
ference is so even that it prevents
a member team from making the
season undefeated and untied. If
they don’t lose intersectionally
they do it inside the conference.
Texas last year is a good exam
ple. The Longhorns won against
all outsiders, including high-rank
ing Oklahoma, but took three iick-

The reason Southwest Confer
ence teams ai’e so evenly matched
is because they get their material
from the same source—Texas
Schoolboy football. They’re usu
ally about even in recruiting.

When Kaufman beat Wills Point
94-0 in the Texas schoolboy foot
ball race there were hurried looks
at the records to see if that wasn’t
the highest score ever run up.
It was the highest score in some
time but it is far from a record.
Back in the twenties scores of over
100 points were common. Especial
ly with the Waco teams of that
era. Waco scored more than a 100
points a half-dozen times, once
running up 140 points.
But it has been a long time since
th,ere were such one-sided games.
The reason is obvious: in those
days thei’e were few expert coach
es. Those that were produced
teams that thoroughly outclassed
the opposition. Too, in those days
all the high schools were in the
same class and a school with a
2,000 enrollment might.be playing
one with 350. •
Triumphant Cadets
Head for Oklahoma
Following a win over top-rated
SMU lust week in Fort Worth, the
Aggie cross country runners left
for Stillwater, Okla., yesterday to
take on Oklahoma State Univer
sity.
Last week Coach Charley Thom
as’ Cadets took home the team
trophy after winning SMU, Texas,
TCU and Baylor. They were led
by Malcolm Hardee and Freddie
Dulock.
The Aggies are undefeated ex
cept for an opening loss to the
University of Houston when they
were beaten 19-36. The Fish are
undefeated for the year and are
paced by Johnny Faulkner and
Ronald Dingle.
Sagging Cadets Tackle
Tough Baylor Saturday
THE BATTALION

A battle of desperation looms
Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field
with the Baylor Bears and the
Texas Aggies clashing in a game
’abeled “the battle of the cellar
dwellers.”
Both A&M and the Bruins were
pre-season picks to finish deep in
the second division, and things
have not changed a whit since then.
The Bears are 2-2 for the season
and 0-1 in Southwest Conference
olay while the Aggies are just a
notch better, season wise, with a
3-2 mark, 0-1 in conference play.
Baylor goes into the contest six
points favorite over the Ags, who
have found the position of under
dog to be their fate this season.
TCU was sgven points better than
the Ags last week, and wound up
on the long end of a 39-6 score.
The Farmers’ chances of winning
any more SWC tilts were dealt
a severe blow Monday by the with
drawal of Jon Few and Jesse Mc
Guire, the Cadets’ first and second
string left halfbacks. Coach Jim
Myers shifted his backfield to fill
the gap and can only hope that
things will turn out for the best.
The Bears come to Aggieland
with nothing short of pure revenge
on their minds for the licking they
took last year in Waco. The
Bruins led the Aggies 27-13 going
into the final quarter, but the
Farmers rallied to win going away,
33-27.
If the Bears win this game and
then go on to move out of the con
ference cellar it will be their first
time, to do so since 1956 when they
finished third in the SWC race.
The Aggies have not dwelt in the
cellar since 1954, although they
finished in a two-way tie for fifth
last year with the Arkansas Razor-
backs.
Baylor will move into the con
test with virtually no injuries on
their first two starting units, al
though End Albert Witcher was
sidelined briefly' this week.
The Bears are especially strong
at end this year with two sets of
the outside men that are labeled as
“the best in the conference.”
Witcher is the dean of ends for
Baylor, and has been nicknamed
the “Alligator” by his teammates
“because he eats those end sweeps
alive.”

Baylor is also blessed with two
of the fastest halfbacks in the
conference in the persons of Ron
nie Bull and Tommy Minter, both
athletes capable of running the 100
in under 10 seconds.
The contest will have two “bulls
butting heads together, Ronnie of
Bailor and Gordon LeBoeuf of
A&M. LeBoeuf in French means
“the bull.” Bull of Baylor is the
top rusher for the Bears while Le
Boeuf has taken over that depart
ment for the Aggies with the de
parture of Few and McGuire.
