THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 5, 1960 One Item Skipped: A&M Kicking Game You’ve heard much this fall about A&M’s sophomores, full backs and defense but there’s one item you may have overlooked about Coach Jim Myers’ Cadets. That’s the kicking game. Punts, kickoffs and extra points. The kicking has been real good after three games. There was much speculation after Charley Milstead finished his college playing last fall, about the Aggie kicking game. Who’s gonna replace Milstead, one of A&M’s all-time great kickers, passers and overall field generals? So far Babe Craig, junior trans fer from Knoxville, Tenn., has been doing the punting. And a good job, too. He carries a 39.4 average good for third place in the Southwest conference, in spite of getting off a 20-yarder after a bad pass from center against LSU. Mike Clark, a Longview sopho more who is listed as an Aggie end but who does nothing but kickoff, has been getting the ball deep ev ery time, usually into the end zone. NCAA Turns Down Offer To Telecast TU-OU Grid Game By The Associated Press DALLAS—The NCAA Tuesday turned down an offer by KRLD- TV in Dallas to telecast the Texas- Oklahoma football game. The sta tion offered to telecast the game as a public service without com mercials. The game, an annual affair in the Cotton Bowl here, has been sold out for months. Walter Byers, NCAA executive secretary, refused the offer be cause, he said, “this is disciplinary action for matters unrelated to this particular telecast.” Oklahoma was placed on proba tion Jan. 6 for allegedly being in volved in a fund for recruiting ath letes. Then there’s the matter of extra points. A&M has scored four touchdowns this fall and has boot ed four out of four placements. Randy Sims, Houston senior, kicked both extra points against i Texas Tech and with Handy Ran-1 dy sidelined last Saturday with an injury, QB Daryle Keeling, Tyler junior, booted two perfect place ments in A&M’s 14-0 win. Here’s a run-down on A&M’s kicking against Trinity: Craig, a halfback-quarterback, punted four times to the four, five, 10 and 23-yard lines for an aver age of 41 yards per kick. Clark kicked off three times—to the end zone, the two and the 7- yard line. And Keeling hit two for two on PATs. Who said the foot has gone out | of football? San Antonio Scamperer Eddie Van Dyke from San Antonio’s Edison High School was right “in his own back yard” Saturday night as he picked up 50 yards against the Trinity Tigers. Coach Jim Myers lauded his performance as “top notch. ‘Slick-Headed’ Freshmen Pop Cork on 1960 Season Tonight By LARRY SMITH Assistant Sports Editor The “slick-headed” Aggie Fish kick off their football season to night in Fort Worth against TCU’s Wogs in the first college game for both teams. The Fish will be seeking revenge from last year when the Wogs edged the Fish in a thriller, 14-13. Coach Travis (Shorty) Hughes said, “Since this is the first game for us, and the Wogs, you just can’t tell how the contest will come out.” The hard-hitting Fish have “held up good against the varsity the last couple of weeks and their at titude has been great,” Hughes added. Backs Shine During the past week, quarter back Jim Linnstaedter, high school All-Stater from Brenham, has shown up well from the man un der position. Other backs that have looked good include Travis Rea gan, 166-pound speed merchant from Wichita Falls; Phil Peter, 196-pound right halfback from Houston (Austin); and Jerry Rog ers, a 210-pound bruising fullback from Corpus Christi (Ray). Two second team backs have also been inspiring in practice. They are Ed die Hall, quarterback from Dickin son, and George Hargett, halfback from Linden. Coach Hughes has located sev- FISH LINEUP LE Kenneth Bode LT James Craig LG Terry McLeod C Ray Kubala RG Mike Swan RT Johnny Kolacek RE Larry Crutsinger QB Jim Linnstaedter LH Travis Reagan i RH Phil Peter FB Jerry Rogers eral rugged linemen in his crop of football players. They include guard Terry McLeod, 195-pounder from Jasper; center Ray Kubala, 6-4, 230-pounder from West; guard Mike Swan, a 206-pounder from Athens; end Larry Crutsing er, 6-1, 185-pounder from Brown- wocrd; and end Kenneth Bode, who played in 58 high school football games for Brady High. Coach Hughes, his four student assistants — Buddy Payne, Robert Sanders, Gale Oliver and Joe Mun son, along with forty-one football players left this morning at 7:30 for Fort Worth and will return about 12 tomorrow. The next game for the Fish will be with the Baylor Cubs in Waco on Oct. 13. VISIT US AT THE TRIANGLE WE ARE NOW SERVING LUNCH From 11:00 A. M. PRICES START AT 75? Aggies Alley By LARRY DANTZLER The A&M Bowling Committee will organize its leagues for the coming year next Monday night at 7:30 in the Memorial Student Center. Due to the increase in membership, the Committee plans to have four leagues this”season, two occurring on Monday at 7 and 9, with the others on Tuesday and Thursday at 7. We urge anyone interested in bowling to attend this meeting and join one of the Com mittee leagues. This week-end marks the begin ning of match play for the Aggie team. They will act as host to the unique Texas Intercollegiate Bowl ing Conference which was organ ized last year through the efforts of the Bowling Committee. This is the only intercollegiate bowling league which is sanctioned by the American Bowling Congress. This year the conference is expecting to consist of SMU, San Antonio Col lege, North Texas State, Arlington State, Baylor, Texas University, Stephen F. Austin, and A&M. Bowling will start at 9:00 a.m. Saturday and will continue throughout the day until about 6. During the past years, the Ag gie Match team has proved to be one of the best collegiate teams in the nation. For the past two years the Aggies have won the A&M In tercollegiate Tournament held here each year, as well as the Region IX Championship of the Associa tion of College Unions Tourney. The year before the organization of the Conference they were un defeated in match competition. Last year, in the Conference, the team swept the league by winning nine of the 11 awards given. Cer tainly this team needs your sup port Saturday in the start of the new season. We’ll be looking for you.
