‘That second half was as good
as any I’ve ever seen by an Aggie
team,” were the words of Charles
E. (Smokey) Harper who came to
A&M in 1954.
Probably all the Aggie fans that
were scattered in small heap of
16,000 crowd fully agreed with
Smokey and too there was prob
ably several more people who wish
ed they had been there to fill one
of those 26,000 empty seats.
The game was about as close
as possible and plenty rough.
Time after time the officials had
to signal for the “chain gang” to
come in and measure for the first
down. It was the press box esti
mate that sideline measurements
had to be called for between 10
and 12 times.
In evidence that there was plenty
of hard blocking and tackling pre
sent, a host of players were helped
from the field during the course
of the afternoon.
The only serious injury the Ca
dets received was Jerry Jenkins
who was an up-and-coming junior
linebacker. Jenkins will be out
the remainder of the season with
a torn knee ligament.
There was definitely a big
Team’s Best Blocking Back,
Right Halfback Bob Caskey
When Bob Caskey, A&M’s start
ing right halfback, was an all-
state fullback for Gonzales, he
carried the ball so much he found
little time for blocking.
Now he’s a junior for the Aggies
and as the team’s best blocking
back he finds little time for ball
carrying.
A&M Coach Jim Myers finds no
fauld with Caskey, a hazel-eyed,
six-foot, 185-pounder who was hurt
as a sophomore last fall and didn’t
log enough time to letter.
‘Bob’s the best blocking back on
the team and is always giving 100-
percent in a game or practice,’
Myers says. All of the A&M
coaches think highly of Caskey.
They say he’s easy to coach be
cause he likes to his people and is
always going all out.
Caskey, who played wingback
on the single wing as a fresh
man in 1958, piled up the yardage
and touchdowns four years for
Gonzales and was a hard-running
all-stater.
“I just had a good coach (Allen
Winters) and credit him with all
my high school success,” Caskey
reveals. “He always jumped on me
about my blocking and I guess it
just came to me this year after the
coaches kept after me.”
He’s no speed-merchant and he’s
no break-away threat, but Bob is
the steady, hard-working type of
player a coach likes. He’s tough
on defense, too.

“Serving Texas Aggies”
A&M fought TCU to a 14-14 tie
last week and with the Frogs
hitting passes all over the field
trying to go ahead, Caskey made
a big save by grabbing off a TCU
pass in the Aggie end zone to
stall off one threat.
He’s a physical education major
at A&M and wants to coach and
teach after graduation.
Four Teams

HS Grid Slots
By The Associated Press
DALLAS—Baytown, Carrollton,
Olney and Stinnett this week re
tained their No. 1 rankings in the
Dalas News’ copyrighted school
boy football poll.
Baytown and Wichita Falls held
the top two positions in Class
AAAA, although Abilene tumbled
from third to eighth and San An
tonio Jefferson disappeared alto
gether.
Waco captured the No. 7 berth
by virtue of its 13-7 upset of Abi
lene and Freeport replaced Jef
ferson with a 13-0 verdict over
Texas City.
AAA Holds Fast
There were no newcomers in
Class AAA but Jacksonville re
placed Phillips in the runnerup
slot behind Carrolton. Phillips, de
spite a 14-0 win over Lamesa,
fell to fourth and Brownwood
stepped up to third.
Hooks crashed the top ten of
Class AA for the first time as
Columbus, beaten 30-7 by Bellville,
dropped out. Denver City moved
in ahead of Bellville in the No. 3
spot, however, as it crushed hap
less Slaton 90-6. Olney held its
summit position with an 18-7 trim
ming of Seymour.
Sonora Comes In
The only newcomer in Class A
was Sonora, which tripped Ozona
last week for its seventh straight
place after White Deer, a 29-0
loser to top-ranked Stinnett slip
ped out of the select group.

change over the Cadets since last
week’s battle with the Houston
Cougars. It was the consensus of
some of the team that they had
found the much needed confidence
that had been lacking earlier in
the year.
Babe Craig, who scored the Ca
det’s second touchdown; ran for
the tying two points; and booted
a 75-yard quick kick, modestly ad
mitted that he “just got lucky”.
Craig also added, “We’ve got it
now—confidence.”
Bobby Phillips, senior end who
was a defensive thorn in the
Horned Fi'og’s side many time dur
ing the afternoon from his defen
sive end slot, heartily agreed that
confidence was the big factor that
accounted for A&M’s fine showing.
However, the Cadets changed
their regular routine of practice
as they prepared for TCU during
the previous week. Coach Jim My
ers worked the team in sweat uni
forms on Monday, Thursday and
Friday. This was somewhat of a
contrast to the preparation for
Houston as they “went hard” the
first four days of the week
For their pre-game warmup the
Cadets came out of the dressing
room just minutes before the game
instead of following the usual pro
cedure of drills. Coach Myers said
that this was the first time that
they had done that since they up- |jg0|^
set Rice, 28-21, in 1958.
And some insurance of Myers’
confidence in his “new” policy,
A&M worked in sweats yesterday.
Bengals Pound
Caldwell, 16-0
By RUSSEL BROWN
Battalion Sports Writer
The A&M Consolidated Tigers
broke out of their long scoring
and win drought Friday night as
the full-strength Bengals pounded
out a 16-0 win over the Caldwell
Hornets.
The contest was the District 19-
AA opener for both clubs, as the
two elevens brought identical 1-5
records into the contest. The fracas
was all Consolidated, though fum
bles cost the Maroon and White
a literal slaughter’. Coach Ed Lo
gan’s club rolled inside the Cald
well thirty four times during the
contest, racked up 277 yards total
offense, and held the home-town
Hornets to a minus seven rushing
yardage.
The Tigers took the opening
kickoff and began a sustained
drive from their own 27 to the
Caldwell 21 before the first of sev
en fumbles halted the Tigers. Af
ter the Hornets met rock-ribbed
opposition in the line, the Bengals
took over on the Caldwell 46 only
to fumble away the pigskin again
on the 35.
The Hornets fell on another
Tiger fumble as the second period
got under way as. Bill Harper
fell on fullback Frank Hagler’s
bobble on the Tiger 15. Ramming
fullback L. J. Horak was spilled
for a four-yard loss and three
passes fell incomplete for the hosts
as the Bengals took over on the
19. Later in the period the Maroon last Friday.
and White moved to the Hornet
27 and the 41 before drives fizzled
as the two clubs remained in a
scoreless deadlock for the first
two periods.
Finally able to find the handle
on the pighide, the Tiger ball
carriers marched to their two
touchdowns in the final 24 minutes
of play. A Harold Atterwhite punt
set the Tigers on the Caldwell 40
early in the third quarter. With
Condy Pugh running from quar
terback, brothers Ozzie and Cyril
Burke and the halves, and Hagler
ramming from fullback the Ben
gals marched the forty yards in
nine plays with Pugh sneaking
the final yard with 6:11 to play in
the period. Cyril Burke set the
Bengals further in front with the
two-point conversion on a blast off
tackle to give the Maroon and
White an 8-0 lead.
The Hornets switched from the
T formation to a spread offense,
picking up 24 yards on the first
two tries, but the Bengals quickly
readjusted and held at midfield.
After an exchange of punts, the
Tigers took over on their 30
and cranked up a 14-play, 61-yard
march that ate up most of the
fourth quarter. Cyril Burke ram
med the final two yards with
brother Ozzie converting the extra
points for the final 16-0 count.
Friday the Tigers meet the
Hearne Eagles, who were trounc
ed by the Rockdale Tigers 31-6

PROJECT
ECHO
y On August 12th, I960, JPLscientists at Goldstone,
California, radioed the world’s first transcontinental microwave message
to be relayed by a passive, artificial earth satellite. This satellite was the,
100 ft. plastic balloon Echo I orbiting around the Earth at an altitude of 1,000 miles,
A pre-recorded statement by President Eisenhower was received 2,300 miles away
by scientists of the Bell Telephone Laboratories at Holmdei, New Jersey,
as clearly as any telephone call, in a fraction of a second.
Later In the course of the Echo experiment, the scientists at Goldstone and Holmdei
conducted 2-way voice communication off the balloon satellite,
Goldstone transmitting at 2,390 megacycles and Holmdei at 960 megacycles*
This successful experiment opens up vast new fields of developmeni;
for worldwide communication and is typical of many
pioneering achievements of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
