Hogs Drop Ags, 12-7,
For Conference Win
The aroused Aggies did their
best to spoil the Arkansas Razor-
backs’ homecoming Saturday in
Fayetteville, but the Hogs rallied
in the final period to overcome a
Cadet lead and win, 12-7.
A&M had entered the game a 15
point plus underdog, but they re
fused to roll over and play dead be
fore 30,000 fans and a television
audience and almost pulled their
second major upset of the year.
The loss left the Ags deep in the
conference cellar with a 0-3 South
west Conference record. Arkansas’
win k4pt their hopes of a cham
pionship alive although they have
suffered one defeat at the hands
of the league-leading Texas Long
horns.
A&M staved off the Porkers the
first half with brilliant defensive
play. All told the Farmers recov
ered three Razorback fumbles and
intercepted two passes.
The Aggies made one serious
threat in the first half when they
moved to Arkansas’ 13-yard line,
but the Hogs held for three downs
and forced A&M to try for the
field goal. Randy Sim’s boot was
wide and the first threat of the
game was ended. The march cov
ered 50 yards, originating when
A&M’s Wayne Labar recovei'ed an
Arkansas fumble on the 37.
A&M scored the first time they
got their hands on the ball in the
second half, taking Arkansas’ kick-

off and marching downfield with a
backfield composed of three soph
omores and a senior.
Veteran tailback Charley Mil-
steamed, his knee swathed in ban
dages, directed the attack with a
backfield composed of Sophs Eddie
Van Dyke, S. J. Halpin and Jim
Murphy.
Murphy returned the opening
kickoff 24 yards to A&M’s 38. Mil-
stead connected on a pass to End
Russell Hill, another sophomore,
that covered 20 yards before the
Hogs could bring him down. Hal
pin, playing a tremendous game
from the fullback slot, worked his
way through the line for 15, and
an 11-yard pass from Milstead to
End Jack Estes put the Aggies in
scoring position on the Razorback
three. Halpin smashed through
right guard for the touchdown and
Sim’s try for extra point was good,
putting the Aggies ahead, 7-0.
Arkansas took the kickoff and
roared right back to score, capped
by Jim Mooty’s scoring dash from
A&M’s one. Freddy Akers missed
the extra point try and the Farm
ers led by one point.
The Razorbacks came back in
the final quarter to score the win
ning touchdown, with Mooty again
toting the ball over for the score
from the 6.
A&M hopes to scoi’e their first
Southwest Conference victory of
the year next Saturday when they
meet the SMU Mustangs on Kyle
Field in an afternoon game.
CHS Halts Bobcats, 20 -12;
Homecoming Contest Friday
By RUSSELL BROWN
CHS Correspondent
The good ole Homecoming spirit
is in the air across the way on the
campus of A&M Consolidated as
the Maroon and White sharpen
their claws for their Friday night
battle with the Humble Wildcats
on Tiger Field, site of the 1959
Tiger Homecoming.
Humble, resting third in the dis
trict 21-AA standings behind the
Bellville Brahmas and the Bengals,
ii\vade the home of the Tigers
with a 5-3 season record, and a
count of 1-1 in district with a win
over cellar dwelling Navasota (0-3)
and a loss to Bellville (2-0). The
’Cats sport probably the fastest
back in the conference in the per
son of scatback Johnny Parker, a
junior speedster that runs a mighty
fast halfback posL
Friday night found a Dads’
Night crowd about wild 'with
anxiety and fingernail biting. The
Bengals held a detei’mined bunch
>f Cypress-Fairbanks Bobcats just
inches from the goal stripe with
time running out to preserve a cru-
rial 20-12 victory over the slightly
favored ’Cats.
The Tigers struck first when the
Bqngals set up shop in the 17-yard
line where Jim Wright rambled 1(5
yards on a trap to the Tiger 33.
From there left half Brenner Say-
ers, behind good blocking, cut over
right tackle and outl egged every
body G7 yards wih 2:02 remaining.
Points failed leaving the count at
6-0.
Breaks on both sides kept clubs
from tallying in the second period,
but the Tigers chalked the score-
board again with 7:17 left in the
third period when quarterback
Condy Pugh plunged the final two
yards capping a 33-yard drive that
took 10 plays and 3 first downs.
The key play came when fullback
Wright worked the trap for 13
yards and a first down on the 18
after being faced with a fourth,
down situation. Dee Smith ran
the extra points for a 14-0 edge.
The Bobcats, known for their of
fensive prowess, roared back with
a 53-yard drive that covered nine
plays and three first downs with
halfback David Derrick capping the

drive with a 28-yard rollout around
left end after he and fullback Carl
Glass chalked up the most distance
of the drive. Pugh batted away
quarterback Ken Clark’s extra
points pass with 3:25 to play in
the third period.
After a kickoff went out of
bounds, the ‘Cats fell on Irvin
Todd’s fumble of the ensuing kick
off and set up housekeeping on the
Bengals’ 39. Again Derrick took
it in from two yards out with 12
seconds to go on the ninth play of
the drive. Clark’s extra points run
failed, leaving the count at 14-12.
Midway in the fourth stanza
Pugh punted deep to Ken Kroger
where end Bob Adams hit him -with
a bone-crushing tackle on the Bob
cat three. Four plays later Pugh
swiped a Clark toss and returned
it 33 yards into the end zone. A
personal foul ruined the extra
points try setting the scene for the
Tigers with a 20-12 lead.
Cy-Fair took the kickoff with
five minutes to go and marched
steadily goalward setting up a
first and ten on the Tiger 28 with
54 seconds to go. A roughing pen
alty set the ball on the 13 with 23
seconds and Kreger bulled to the
three with about 15 seconds to go.
From there Clark attempted a
quarterback sneak but fell short
of the promised land as the entire
Tiger line rose to the occasion.
Glass led the rushers with 117
yards in 16 carries while Wright
and Sayers hit for 75 yards in 13
carries and 88 yards in ten at
tempts to lead the Tigers. The
Bobcats outdid the Tigers in every
department, gaining 139 more
yards than the hosts, but the score-
board told the final story.
Friday night’s heroes as listed
by a jubilant Coach Ed Logan were
Pugh, guard Mike Bloom, tackle
Vic Clark, center Joel Mills,
“Tough Tiger” against Navasota,
and halfback John Pedigo. Mills
fell on two fumbles of the ’Cats
and Pedigo was on the bottom of
the stack on a third.

Ledbetter, Dalhart halfback, has

AND DICK MASLOWSKI
They’re transmission engineers with Michigan
Bell Telephone Company in Detroit. Burnell
graduated from Western Michigan in 1951
with a B.S. in Physics, spent four years in
the Navy, then joined the telephone company.
His present work is with carrier systems, as
they relate to Direct Distance Dialing facilities.
Dick got his B.S.E.E. degree from Michigan
in 1956 and came straight to Michigan Bell.
He is currently engineering and administering
a program to utilize new, transistorized re
peater (amplifier) equipment.
Both men are well qualified to answer a
question you might well be asking yourself:
“What’s in telephone company engineering
for me?”
SAYS DICK:
“There’s an interesting day’s work for you
every day. You really have to use your engi
neering training and you’re always working
with new developments. Every time Bell Lab
oratories designs a new and more efficient
piece of equipment, you are challenged to in
corporate it in our system effectively and
economically. For example, I have been work
ing on projects utilizing a newly developed
voice frequency amplifier. It’s a plug-in type
—transistorized—and consumes only two
watts, so it has lots of advantages. But I have
to figure out where and how it can be used in
our sprawling network to provide new and
improved service. Technological developments
like this really put spice in the job.”
SAYS BURNELL:
“Training helps, too—and you get the best.
Through an interdepartmental training pro
gram, you learn how company-wide operations
dovetail. You also get a broad background by
rotation of assignments. I’m now working
with carrier systems, but previously worked on
repeater (amplifier) projects as Dick is doing
now. Most important, I think you always learn
‘practical engineering.’ You constantly search
for the solution that will be most economical
in the long run.”
There’s more, of course—but you can get
the whole story from the Bell interviewer.
He’ll be visiting your campus before long. Be
sure to sit down and talk with him.
