Football is a funny game that
breeds drugstore quarterbacks, sec
ond guessers and people who think
the world turns only for a Satur
day afternoon where two athletic
teams meet in a head-on collision.
Women have developed definite
views on how the sport should be
played, and in their own feminine
way have found the perfect way
to describe a football contest. My
wife says, ‘It’s great when you win
and lousy when you lose.” What
could be simpler.
It’s not so simple if you’re out
there on the field trying to be
great, and things can be really
difficult when everything you do
turns out to be lousy.
* Trying to pick the winner of a
game the day before it’s played
also has trials and tribulations.
When you pick them all you’re
“good”. Make a couple of miscues’
and you’re “lousy”. Fortunately
the Southwest Conference cham
pionship is not picked by writers
who try to guess winners days
ahead of the game.
Here’s my picks for this Satur
day’s contest, but who can pick
a winner in the turbulent SWC.
A&M-ARKANSAS — It’s home
coming for the Razorbacks up in
the hills of Arkansas, and they
want to make their queen happy
With a victory. The Hogs should
be on the rebound from their loss
to Mississippi and are 19 point
favorites to shellac the Ags. The'
Razorbacks, going away.
TEXAS-SMU — All the experts
are picking this to be the top con
test of the day for the Southwest
Conference, and they’re not going
to be disappointed. Texas is un
defeated but the Mustangs have a
healthy Meredith. The Longhorns
by two touchdowns.
BAYLOR-TCU — The Horned
Frogs are on the comeback trail,
while the Bears try to maintain
that peak they reached against the
Aggies last week. That 01’ Baylor
line isn’t going to do much good
against the “Spiked” Horned Frogs.
TCU by 16 points.
RICE-CLEMSON—Rice has yet
to win a game this year, but look
at some of the teams they have
played . . . and managed to tie two
of them. But Clemson’s record
shows they are the better team,
so it’s Clemson by six points.
TEXAS TECH-TULANE — A
tight contest but the Red Raiders
are a team that- refuses to bow
down to anyone without a fight.
We have to go along with Tech,
but it’s going to be close, by three
points.
Looking at our neighbors in
Louisiana we just can’t help stick
ing our noses into other peoples
business and predicting the out
come of the LSU-Mississippi foot
ball game. Everybody says that
the Tigers are the team to beat.
I disagree and pick Mississippi by
a touchdown.
The Arkansas - A&M game will
be televised in Bryan by the local
TV station, so those Aggies not
having the loot to travel to the
Hills can watch the game on the
big 21” screen. The Farmers could
surprise.
Ags Tackle Comeback Trail Saturday
Against Second Place Arkansas Hogs
The battle scared Texas Aggies,
their ranks ripped by two successive
Southwest Conference foes, at
tempt to hit the comeback trail
at the expense of the riled Razor-
backs in the Hogs own back yard
at Fayetteville Saturday.
As the Cadets prepare to make
their 11th. trip to a Porker home
coming, a look at the past meet
ings of the two teams are in order.
A&M owns the most one-sided vic
tory over Arkansas at its Home
coming (34-0 in 1945) and the
most shutouts over the Razorbacks
for a homecoming game (three in
a row from 1939 to 1945). Indeed,
Arkansas has not defeated the Ag
gies at home since 1951, and has
won only two games at Razorback
stadium since 1937.
It’s a repeat situation for Ark
ansas from the setting two years
ago. The Razorbacks are 2-1 in
conference play and desperately
need a win to stay in the thick of
the Southwest Conference fight.
The last time the Hogs were in
this position the Farmei’S downed
them, and the Hogs nose dived to
to cellar while A&M went on to
a bowl bid.
“There’s no question about it,”
said Arkansas Coach Frank
Broyles. “We’re at the turning
point of our season. This is our
most important game of the year.
A&M is aware of this situation
and can be expected to play desper
ate football.”
The Aggies have no choice but
to play desperate football. With
Charley Milstead on the bench the
.Cadets are rated a rather forlorn
chance of victory. Milstead will not
start the game for A&M, but in
dications are now that the Tyler
senior will see some action against
the Razorbacks.
Powell Berry, a junior letterman
from Snyder, will take over the
quarterbacking choi'es in his first
starting assignment of his career.
Farmer Bowling Team First
In Texas Collegiate League
The A&M Intercollegiate Bowl
ing team opened their kegler sea
son with a bang, grabbing first
place in the Texas Intercollegiate
Traveling league with a 9-3 mark.
The League is a new organiza
tion and one of the first of its kind.
It is the first major step taken to
organize college bowling.
Members of the new league are
A&M, Southern Methodist, Arling
ton State College, University of
Texas, University of Houston and
San Antonio College. Rice and
North Texas State have also ex
pressed interest in the league.
Under rules of the league the
6-member group will roll 9-game
competitive blo’cks once a month
at each school’s home lanes.
The Farmers have two men as
league officials. Don Jones serves
as president of the organization
and Larry Dantzler as secretary-
treasurer. SMU’a Don Sharp is
vice president.
Arlington State and SMU are
tied for second place in the stand
ings with 7-5 marks. Houston and
Texas share the fourth place slot
with SVi-GYs totals and San An
tonio is in the cellar with a 5-7
mark.
Last year the Aggies were
among the top teams in five south
ern states, and were winners of
the Intercollegiate Tourney, the
only college tournament in the
Southwest. All told A&M won 12
straight matches last year.
The Aggies boast one of the top
bowlers in the state in the person
of Bob Tomlinson. The A&M fresh
man bowled a 297 point game on
the Aggie alleys, then came back
to top that mark with a perfect 300
game.
Next League action is scheduled
for November 14, with Arlington
State serving as the host school.
"ALL IS NOT GOLD"
Seems like everybody had a crack at this piece
of homely philosophy, but the originator seems
to be Geoffrey Chaucer, in "The House of
Fame", Book I:
"Hyt is not all gold that glareth”
"COUNT 10..."
Was there any limit to the talents of Thomas
Jefferson? Statesman, scientist, architect—he also
authored this admonition:
"When angry, count ten before you speak;
if very angry, a hundred."

Jockey T-Shirts
BRAND
The most respected, creative name in underwear is Jockey
brand. It stands to reason, then, that Jockey brand T-shirts
are unmatched for quality as well as styling. You can
choose from standard crew neck T-shirt, "taper-tee" shirt,
sleeveless l-shirt, and V-neck T-shirt models. Every man
needs a drawer full of T-shirts—and the label to look for
is Jockey brand. Let it guide you to the world's finest
underwear. JR,

Berry has seen considerable action
both as a signal caller and as a
left half, running at that position
last week against Baylor before
Milstead was injured.
Berry is a good runner and a
fair passer, and will probably do
somq of the team’s kicking in the
contest. Fullback Gordon LeBoeuf
has also punted several times for
the Ags.
Robert Sanders and Randy Sims
are probable starters for the half
back positions. Sims is one of the
top receivers on the team. LeBoeuf
will run from the fullback slot. The
French “Bull” is the Aggies top
threat on the ground.
Coach Jim Myers has faced the
injury problem again this week
and seen three of his first string
linemen sidelined with various
ailments. Both of the starting
McGuire Leaves
A&M Permanently
Jesse McGuire, one of two Aggie
footballers who quit the A&M
squad last week, has resigned from
school and returned to his home in
West Texas.
The star athlete had been en
couraged to remain in school by
Coach Jim Myers, but in a story
written by The Associated Press
McGuire stated that being forced
to return to the Corps of Cadets
had disturbed his studies to such
an extent that he could no longer
remain in school.
ends, Ralph Smith and Russell Hill,
have spent most of the week in
sweat togs, but both of them could
be ready by game time.
Tackle Bill Godwin is a doubt
ful starter this week with an in
jured leg, but Alien Goehring has
been shifted from guard to tackle
to fill the gap. Sophomore Wayne
Freiling has retained his starting
role as a guard.
Myers has had his backs toting
footballs with them every where
they’ve gone this week in an at
tempt to stop the fumbling that has
been so disastrious to the Ags in
two straight games. The Farmers
have fumbled 12 times in the past
two contests.
Jim Mooty is the big spark for
the Razorback backfield, carrying
the ball 63 times for a gain of 342
yards, second in the conference be
hind TCU’s Jack Spikes. Lance
Alworth, a sophomore halfback, is
a big threat in the Porkers back-
'field with 70 yards on 32 carries.
James Monroe, the starting
quarterback for the Razorbacks, is
an accurate passer, completing 14
of 18 for 122 yards. Alworth is
the kicker, punting 22 times for a
36.1 average.
Arkansas is ranked second in
the confei*ence, with only a one
point defeat by Texas to mar their
SWC record. The Aggies have suf
fered two defeats at the hands of
conferenece foes while winning
none, to reside in the league’s cel
lar.
