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.

yard jaunt by Grizzle, the Mus
tangs again moved deep into Tiger
territory. 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.
Ags Threaten

In Schoolboy Poll
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS—Baytown and Kilgore
moved into the No. 1 spot in the
upper divisions of Texas school
boy football, the copyrighted Dal
las News poll of state sports
writers showed Monday.
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.

a Powell Berry pass on the 13-
yard line to halt the drive.
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.

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.”

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.
