CHS Records First Victory; Edge Madisonville, 16-14 By RUSSELL BROWN Battalion Sports Writer Two long touchdown marches and a spirited goal line stand by the A&M Consolidated Tigers counteracted almost 300 yards of total offense by the Madisonville Mustangs as the Bengals finally nailed down their initial win of the 1960 season, 16-14. Dropped 16-14 by St. Anthony’s of Beaumont when their final ex tra point try failed -last week, and tun out of the park by the Nava- jota Rattlers 16-0 in their season opener, the District 19-AA favor ites’ offense began to jell for two 'touchdowns, and a victory. Madisonville used the long scor ing march to their advantage be hind the running and passing of all-district performer Charles Grizzle and the charging of Bob Ellisor. The Mustangs, victorious in their opening tilt against 19-AA Caldwell 25-0 but downed by the tough Huntsville Hornets 19-0 last week, ground out 225 yards on the turf and went to the air for 70 more. But, Grizzle’s attempt for the two-point conversion after the 'Jved and Blue’s first TD meant the difference. Tigers Take Lead The Bengals wasted no time in pleasing the partisan crowd on Tiger Field, treking 63 yards in 10 plays for a quick 8-0 lead. With Condy Pugh directing the attack, Cyril Burke, John Pedigo, and Jim McAfee ground three first downs from the Tiger 37 to the Mustang 29. Pedigo rammed for eight quick yards before grabbing a Pugh aerial for the remaining 21 yards. Pugh rolled out for the two extra points, giving the locals an 8-0 margin. Madisonville began to move, but a series of penalties set the vis itors back to the Tiger 41 where Grizzle punted deep to the Tiger 10. The Tigers seemed goalward bound again but Burke’s fumble on the Mustang 23 ended the threat. Grizzle took over and began to move the highly-rated Mustangs with quick precision. Seven plays took the ball from the ‘Stang 23 to the Tiger 12, with Grizzle rack ing up 52 of the yards in three tries. Ellisor and Grizzle moved the pigskin to the one where full back Joe Taylor hit paydirt with 3:30 remaining before the half. Grizzle’s extra points try was foiled by the alert Tiger defense and the Tigers held on to their slim 8-6 margin. Madisonville took the second half kickoff and marched steadily again toward Tigerland. Grizzle and Ellisor carried most of the mail as the Mustangs moved from their own 33 to the Tiger eight in 11 plays. There the leaky Tiger defense took a foothold and held Taylor, Ellisor, quarterback Bill Hopkins and 1 Grizzle to six yards, taking over on the two. Fumble Stops Threat The Tigers moved the ball out to the 28 before punting, with the visitors taking over on their 28. Sparked by a 29-yard pass play from Grizzle to Ellisor and a 16 JOHN J. HALL, M.

But, Grizzle hobbled a pitch-out on the 15 and Pugh pounced on the ball to stave off the threat. Two plays later the Tigers played give-back as the Mustangs fell on a loose pighide on the Tiger 19. Ellisor rammed for four and Grizzle carried it over in two tries, the last a 12 yard scampef. Grizzle made it 14-8 by fumbling the extra points try into the end zone where a couple of his linemen retrieved it. The Bengals came back with a Pugh to Larry Randolph comple tion for 20 yards playing a key role, the Tigers moved to the Mad isonville eight. Burke rammed the ball within six inches of the promised land and McAfee took it over to knot the count at 14-14. Pugh ran the option play to the left and plunged for the game winning two points. Coach Pleased Coach Ed Logan was pleased with his offense, but stressed the fact that the defense needs a good deal of work. He singled out the efforts of Pugh, who ran both quarterback and fullback and Russell Welch, who piloted the club a good part of the night; Burke, whose extra yards came at oppor tune times; annd tackle Alex Qui- senberry for fine jobs. Pugh was the Tigers’ leading of fense man, rounding up 61 yards in nine cracks while Burke had 54 in 12 tries. Grizzle stole the whole show however, blasting for 134 yards inn 18 tries while Ellisor had 54 yards in 12 attempts. Grizzle also completed four of seven passes for 70 yards, hitting Ellisor three times for 64 yards. The Tigers journey out of town for two weeks in succession be ginning next Friday against the Giddings Buffs of District 20-AA before meeting the co-favorite of 22-AA, Crockett, the following week. The Bengals complete their non-district slate against the Huntsville eleven on October 7 on Tiger Field. Defense Tigers After battling to a stalemate for almost three quarters, the LSU Tigers capitalized on a couple of Cadet bobbles to bring down a 9-0 win in Baton Rouge Satur day night. The Tigers’ first tally came after Babe Craig was rushed badly and only managed a 24-yard punt. Seven plays later the Tigers had rambled to the Aggie one where Wendell Harris crossed the double stripe with 56 seconds left in the third quarter.

Port Arthur, 21-0 victim of Baytown last week, plunged from the top down to sixth as Baytown moved from second to first in Class AAAA. Sweetwater, the No. 1 team of Class AAA, lost to Abilene 20-6 and dropped into second place as Kilgore, 34-0 victor over Texar kana, took over the top spot. Obey was idle last week but retained the No. 1 spot in Class AA. Stinnett, which walloped Dalhart 41-12, stayed on top in Class A.

Another Aggie threat came when Randy Sims took a Tiger punt off the toe of Jerry Stoval and ran it back 66 yards to the Tiger 18, but again the LSU pass defense tightened and another interception bogged the chance to score. , Harris put three more points on the scoreboard for the Tigers as he booted a 32-yard field goal, facing a fourth and seven situa tion. Tight First Half Action during the first half came from “40 to 40” as the Ti gers had 63 yards to the Cadets’ 66. Also the first downs were about as close. The Tiger defense was sharper in the second half and held A&M to only two first downs. Fans got quite an aeriel exhibi tion during the game; however, it wasn’t the traditional pass from the quarterbacks, but instead the action came off the toes of the Ags’ Craig and Bengal Jerry Sto val. Craig averaged 38.1 for the night on nine punts and Stoval kicked 11 times for 40.9. Al though Craig’s average was marred by one 24-yarder, he man aged two for 51 yards each. , Mistakes Cost Coach Jim Myers was all but dissatisfied with his Cadet charges and remarked, “We have a good young team and I’m proud of the way our boys played, but we made too many mistakes.” All the Aggies were in good shape physically yesterday as they went through a two-hour workout preparing for the opening home game with Texas Tech Saturday. Between the grunts and groans of the busy Cadets were the fa miliar sayings of “Get a Raider,” or “Let’s get Tech.” Saturday will officially open conference play for the Ags and Red Raiders and will also mark Tech’s debut into the Southwest Conference.

Welch also reminded all sopho more intramural managers dur ing last year who want to be jun ior managers to contact him at the intramural office. Any sophomore who is inter ested in becoming a manager should come by the intramural of fice, Welch added. In tomorrow’s meeting Welch will map plans for the coming year, explain the changes in the intramural program and answer any questions that might arise. ‘Bull” Tagged Top Rookie One of the prize rookies on the Aggie grid squad this fall is James “Bull” Phillips, 205-pound guard from Freeport. ■ Phillips is one of several soph prospects on whom Coach Jim Tech Leads Conference Stats After Opening Week of Action By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas Tech took over most sta tistical leads in the first week of play in Southwest Conference football but one question was pretty well answered f(jr Coach Frank Broyles of Arkansas. Broyles said he would have to pass more this season since he didn’t have the running necessary to win. He expressed some doubt that he would get it though. Well, he apparently can set aside his fears—George McKinney, the Arkansas quarterback, leads the league in passing, yardage considered. He also tops in total offense because of his 155 yards throwing the ball against Okla homa State. He had 26 rushing for a total of 181. Dickie Poison of Texas Tech took the lead in ball-carrying when he roamed for 109 yards against West Texas State. It was 42 yards better than runner-up Collidge Hunt of Texas Tech, who had 67 yards. Ray Poage of Tex as was third with 66. Glen Amerson of Tech leads the passers with eight completions in 13 attempts for 103 yards, his average of .615 being tops among those who have thrown enough passes to be included in the stand ings. McKinney completed eight of 18. Amerson also is second in total offense with 153 yards. Poison is a double-leader. The Tech back caught six passes for 75 yards against West Texas State to become No. 1 in receiving. Lance Alworth of Arkansas was second with three catches for 87 yards. Bake Turner of Texas Tech leads in punting with a 43.0 aver age. James Saxton of Texas is second with 40.0. Texas Tech is the team leader in offense with 467 yards, with Arkansas second at 283. Defen sively it’s Arkansas, which al lowed only 120 yards. Myers is counting to help the Ca dets in their important Southwest Conference opener with Texas Tech here on Kyle Field at 7:30 p.m; Saturday night. The rugged interior lineman was one of the bright spots in A&M’s fine defensive showing against the powerful LSU Tigers at Baton Rouge Saturday night. Although LSU took the measure of the Aggies, 9-0, before 64,000 fans Saturday night, Phillips and a host of Cadets gave the Tigers all they could ask for. Next Test Saturday Phillips gets another stern test this week from the Raiders and it’s these tough inaugurals that make or break sophomores. Myers has said since spring training that the success of his Aggies “depends on how fast they mature under fire.” An all-district prepster at Free port, Phillips says he prefers de fense to offense just “because it’s more fun.” Myers calls Phillips one of his most improved players and the rookie moved during spring train ing from far down the list to second team left guard behind Carter Franklin, Kerens senior. Assistant Coach Elmer Smith sees a lot of raw, natural ability in Phillips. Quickness is Asset “His greatest asset is his quick ness,” Smith says. “He ’has a long way to go in developing his finer techniques but he’s a pros pect and could be a fine guard,” Smith added. A shot putter on the Aggie track squad, Phillips feels the 1960 Aggie grid team is a club “with great potential and with a few breaks we could finish higher than we’ve been picked.” TYPEWRITERS Rental Service■ - Sales Terms DISTRIBUTORS FOR: Royal and Victor Calculators & Adding Machines CATES TYPEWRITER CO. 909 S. Main TA 2-6000 Only Ten Texas College Football Teams Undefeated Here the football season has scarcely started and only 10 Texas colleges are undefeated and untied. Three of these just haven’t begun the campaign yet. Howard Payne leads the way with . two victories while Texas Tech, Sam Houston State, Sul Ross, Austin College, Texas Lu theran and Abilene Christian have each won the only game played. Baylor, Rice and North Texas State open the season this week and that will mean that all 27 of the Texas colleges will have seen action. The alarming thing about the showing of the Texas colleges thus I far is the fact that they have lost 12 out of 17 games played against teams from other states.
