THE BATTALION
Losing Streak Snapped
As Tech Tied, 14-14
By JOE CALLICOATTE
Battalion Sports Editor
As history was in the making
for Texas Tech on Kyle Field
Saturday night as they made their
Southwest Conference debut, there
was a change in trend for the
Aggies as fah as recent contests
with Tech go.
Saturday’s 14-14 tie with the
Red Raiders was the first time
since 1957 that the Cadets weren’t
on the bottom end of the score.
Although the Saturday night
setting was typical of many week
ends on the Aggie campus, it was
by no means ideal for history-
making, football or much of any
thing as the rain poured in the
67-degree weather.
13,000 Fans
However, the 13,000 faithful
fans who viewed the A&M-Tech
clash didn’t come out on the short
end of an exciting evening.
Texas Tech refused to believe
the pre-game predictions that
they were the underdogs and the
first proof of this came as they
drove to a first quarter touchdown
resulting from an Aggie fumble
on the nine-yard line. Jere Mohon
was the man who pounced on the
Powell Berry fumble that led to
a score three plays later by. Dick
Poison from four yards out. The
extra point try was wide which
left the score 6-0.
The Aggies evened the score,
plus a one-point lead in the latter
part. of the third quarter as Sam
Byer carried five straight times
from the 15-yard line. Randy
Sims’ sure-fire foot provided the
7-6 margin.
Tech’s equalizer came later in
the third quarter as the Cadet
safety man w r as sucked out of
position on a 38-yard pass play
from Johnny Lovelace to Jay By
rum. Tech’s only choice was to
try for the two points, which they
Lee Roy’s Ready
Tech’s sophomore quarterback, Johnny and the Aggies fight to a 14-14 tie. Moving

night’s game which saw the Red Raiders fullback.
Giddings Edges Consolidated
In Hard - Fought Game, 14-8
Eight of Top Ten Schoolboy
Grid Teams Escape Defeat
By RUSSELL BROWN
Battalion Sports Writer
The Giddings Buffs rose to the
occasion and toppled the A&M
Consolidated Tigers, 14-8 Friday
night in Giddings before a crowd
of 2,000.
The win was the 20-AA Buffs’
third in four starts including their
second win against one defeat
against District 19-AA foes. The
Bengals, picked to cop the 19-AA
crown in pre-season balloting, fell
to their third loss in four outings.
The larger Tigers contained the
Buffs in their own own territory
most of the night, yielding only
130 yards rushing and 17 yards
passing to the hosts, but two
breaks and the red flag, 100 yards
worth, stymied the Maroon and
White. While the defense was
tightening, the Bengal offense
moved the pigskin for 188 yards
on the ground and 25 in the air,
out-first-downing the Buffs 12-6.
The first of the breaks came
for the Buffs in the first quarter
with only 50 seconds ticked off
on the clock. Tiger quarterback
Condy Pugh attempted a flat pass,
but James Ponfick was there to
swipe the toss and race 55 yards
behind key blocking for the initial
marker. Roy Schulz attempted
the two-point conversion but
failed, setting .the count at 6-0
early in the tilt.
The Tigers came back undaunted
with a ground attack that carried
them 25 yards in seven plays be
fore junior quarterback Russell
Welch hit junior end Larry Ran
dolph with a 25-yard pass to the
Giddings six. Welch and Pugh
then lugged it in, with Welch
diving the final half-yard for the
equalizer. Welch then ran the op
tion to the right and plunged for
the two points, giving the Bengals
an 8-6 lead.

The Tigers threatened again late
in the second period, but four
tries from the Buff 11 lost six
yards and the Buffs took over.
Playing top-notch defensive ball
and punt-and-wait tactics, both
clubs failed the counter in the
third period, but Schulz’ 30-yard
punt that rolled dead inside the
Tiger one closed out the period.
The Bengals worked the ball
out to the three where Pugh
punted to Schulz. The Buff speed
ster lugged the mail to the 19.
A fifteen-yard penalty set the ball
on the Tiger 36 where R. J.
Nitsche rambled for 29 yards to

senior fullback Eugene Goerlits
rammed the final four yards.

Eight of the top 10 teams in
j Class AA schoolboy football re
tained their unbeaten, untied rec
ords last week although the “per

Sweetwater stepped down from
Class AAA to administer the big
lick, a 14-12 victory over fifth-
ranked Stamford, which had a
19-game winning streak running.
Brady, the 1959 champion by
default, spoiled the other record
among top ten teams. The Bull
dogs, rated 10th, upset eighth-
ranked Coleman 20-6.
A couple of teams with perfect
records, Electra and Jacksboro,
lock horns this week in a Dis
trict 9 game. Perryton sends its
unbeaten mark against Class AAA
Phillips in another of the week’s
feature meetings.
Olney, rated first and appar

“It was my decision to kick
after our 2nd touchdown because
we had 14 minutes and the wind
behind our backs,” was Coach Jim
Myers’ reply after the Cadets
were knocking on the doorsteps
of the winning column with a
score resulting from a 23-yard
pass connection from Daryl Keel
ing to Sims. Sims converted for
a tie.
There were varying opinions on
Coach Myers’ decision on whether
to settle for a tie or try for the
win. Myers was told by one per
son, “I don’t know whether to
congratulate you or sympathize
with you,” and the Aggie mentor
replied, “Don’t congratulate me,
we didn’t win.”

When Wes Roberts was nearing the end of
his senior year at San Jose State College, he was
looking for a job with a wide open future. He
found it when he joined Pacific Telephone in
San Francisco,
Here’s how Wes tells it: “I remember one of
my first jobs. The boss said, ‘Wes, I want you
to work out a plan showing where we’ll need
new field operating centers to keep up with
Northern California’s growth over the next 10
years.’ I didn’t know whether I was more happy
or scared.”
Wes didn’t tell us (but his boss did) that he
handled the report like a pro. And today, as a
division supervisor, he’s holding down a key
telephone job.
Wes Roberts’ story is not unique in the Bell
Telephone Companies. The telephone business
is growing fast-and men are needed who can
grow just as fast.
Wes can tell you: “We get good training.
But no one nurses you along. We hire managers
—not errand boys. So far as I can see, there’s no
ceiling for a self-starter in this business.”
If you're a guy like Wes Roberts-if you like
to bite off more than you can chew and then chew
it—you’ll want to visit your Placement Office for
literature and additional information.
‘Our number one aim is to have in all
management jobs the most vital, intelli
gent, positive and imaginative men we
can possibly find.”
