THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, October 21, I960 Officials Denounced By UT Professor By The Associated Press AUSTIN—H. J. Ettlinger, for mer University of Texas athletic director and now a UT mathemat ics professor, Thursday denounced the field officials at the Texas- Arkansas game as “incompetents.” College Football Reaches Halfway Mark on Saturday By JOHN CHANDLER Associated Press Sports Writer College football reaches the half way mark in the 1960 season on Saturday, with only seven of the nation’s top 10 major teams still undefeated or untied. The battle for national honors is far from over, and uneasy is the position of this week’s No. 1 club, the Hawkeyes of Iowa. Iowa, co-leader in the Big Ten with Minnesota, entertains tough Purdue, the No. 10 team in this week’s Associated Press poll. Pur due has a 2-1-1 record, after rack ing up Ohio State last week 24-21. Iowa became No. 1 this week, by a hair over Mississippi, which had taken Tulane 26-13. Missis sippi tackles rugged Arkansas in a night game at Little Rock. The other five unbeatens in the top ten—in order—have these pairings: Syracuse at West Vir ginia, Navy at Pennsylvania, Mis souri at home with Iowa State, Minnesota at Michigan, and Bay lor, at home against Texas A&M. Washington, No. 8, meets Ore gon State in the Far West’s big game at Portland, while No. 9 Ohio State and Wisconsin tangle in State’s homecoming fracas at Columbus. Saturday’s national TV game brings together Notre Dame at Northwestern, each with 1-3 rec ords. Both teams opened the sea son with victories. But that’s all on the credit ledger. In an open letter to all South west Conference officials and to many newspapers, Ettlinger—who has officiated in 1,500 high school and college games wrote: “To teach a player to tackle the ball instead of the ball carrier is poor football and not a viola tion of the rules. To teach players to use their knees on a ball-car rier after he is on the ground and the ball is dead is a flagrant viola tion of the rules and should be severely dealt with by competent officials. “This was not done last Satur day afternoon. Texas had four players, Ray Poage, James Saxton, Drew Morris and Johnny Tread well ‘laid out” by unsportsmanlike and illegal use of knees and feet on backs and heads by Arkansas. “Furthermore, the close guard ing of a receiver of a forward pass by two men is not a violation of the rules but good football. This was ruled as interference by one of the group of incompenent officials last Saturday.” Ettlinger said he flatly opposes faculty control over the games. Abb Curtis, supervisor of South west Conference officials, said he saw no undue roughness in the Texas-Arkansas game Saturday. Commenting on charges from Ettlinger, Curtis said: “Anyone in the stands has the right to his opinion but a person in the stands is in a very poor position to call the play and that’s why we put five unbiased officials on the field close to the action. “I saw the game and from my position was not aware of any un due roughness. I thought that the overall job of the officials was efficient.” Wm Texas Hoping Rice Won’t Repeat 1958 Performance m V '■ : illUll wH ' / Mi '>>1 i*i i' Pf? :1 i More of This The Aggies will be hoping to see more This shot was taken as Wayne Freiling (71) scenes like this tomorrow as they tie-up drives TCU’S R.

Flock of Perfect Records In Danger for Schoolboys By The Associated Press The favorites aren’t expected to get the ax by any means but a flock of undefeated, untied teams wil be in danger as the Texas schoolboy football campaign hits its highest note of the season this weekend. Baytown, the No. 1 team of Class AAAA, plays South Hous ton; Carrollton, the top-rated out fit of Class AAA, takes on Bowie; Olney, the ranking kingpin of Class AA, plays Burkburnett, and Stinnett, the heralded power of Class A, engages Sunray. All four are among the state’s 50 undefeated, untied teams. Borger of Class AAAA’s slender 10 plays Lubbock in an important district conference game and Bry an risks its unsullied record against the charge of tough Waco in a Dist. 13 game of note. By The Associated Press Instead of “Remember the Alamo” it is “Remember Houston 1958” as the University of Texas prepares for the big Southwest Conference game with Rice at Houston Saturday. The Longhorns got clobbered at Houston in 1958 about as badly as the Texans at the Alamo in 1936. Rice blasted an undefeated, untied Texas team 34-7 and the Longhorns haven’t fully recov ered from it yet. And knowing that spirit and inspiration alone won’t get the job done, the Longhorns Wednes day also worked on pass defense. The Owls have been sensational in the air and Texas couldn’t handle the Arkansas passing game so something has to be done. Meanwhile, they are getting ready to put the SRO signs out at Rice Stadium. Over 65,000 tickets already have been sold and the stadium seats only 70,000. Bleachers are to be added. Rice didn’t have a single injury and was ready for anything. In fact, the Owls could be posting a sign of their own like "Remember Austin 1959.” Texas walloped the Owls 28-6 then, you know. Texas will probably be without the seivices of fullback Ray Poage, who has a hip injury, but everybody else ought to be in shape. Baylor, the last undefeated, un tied team left in the conference, has a tough one coming up, too. The Golden Bears face A&M at Waco, on Homecoming Day. This has gotten to be a jinx occasion— Baylor hasn’t won a homecoming game since 1954. The Aggie, who haven’t lost a conference game yet—and they haven’t won one either—reportedly had trouble solving Baylor’s of fense Wednesday. The freshmen used it to advantage against the varsity. A&M also fretted be cause halfback Babe Craig couldn’t even work out and likely won’t be available for the Baylor game. Baylor, though, is in top shape. Southern Methodist, which has yet to win a game, had reason to worry about the one coming up— Texas Tech at Lubbock Saturday. The Methodists couldn’t do much against Tech passing although showing up very well at halting the Red Raider running game. The freshmen fprnished the op position. Texas Tech was ready with half back Dan Gurley, who has been hampered by an ankle injury, ap parently in top shape. He did well enough in practice that Coach Dewitt Weaver singled him out for praise. Arkansas tackles mighty Missis sippi and Coach Frank Broyles JIMMY COPELAND & “The Westerners” at SHILOH CLUB TONIGHT Yankees Get Honk To Take Stengel’s Manager Duties All along the line in the four classes, the teams with high hopes could take the tumble because practically evry game counts in the championship races now and the chips are on the line. Katy, the Class AA power with the longest winning streak, might find LaGrange tough to handle. Katy has taken 26 straight. Llano, one of the 14 unbeaten, untied teams of Class AA, meets Brady, the defending state cham pion, in a rugged test. Carthage, one of the select few of Class AAAA, runs into Nacog doches, in a crucial conference struggle. Carthage, Nacogdoches and Jacksonville are tied for the lead in Dist. 7. By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK—Ralph Houk, a former third string catcher with only minor league managerial ex perience, Thursday was named pi lot of the New York Yankees to succeed Casey Stengel. Houk, a former Army major, said he would be his own boss and would brook no front office interference. “I am no ‘yes man,’ ” the new manager said. “I intend to run the club on the field and make all the decisions. I will decide which men will play and which won’t.” This was in obvious reference to Stengel’s charge that the Yank ee front office had indicated it intended to have a say in the managerial operations of the team on the field in the future. Houk signed for a reported $35,- 000 a year, less than half the $85,- 000 paid Stengel, and the contract —at his own request—was limited to a single year. “If I don’t do the job next year, 1 don’t want to manage the follow ing year,” the 41-year-old one-time Army ranger told a press confer ence. Announcement of Houk’s ele vation from that of coach of the Yankees, a post he held for three years at $15,000 a year, to the most celebrated managerial spot in the majors came as no great surprise. He had been eyed by the Yank ee brass since Stengel signed a two-year contract at the start of the 1959 season with indication it would be his last. Dan Topping, co-owner of the Yankees, announced the new field boss in the presence of General Manager George Weiss, Assistant General Manager Roy Harney and Houk himself. Stengel, who by his own de scription was fired last Tuesday because of his age, 70, was not present. Topping made no mention of other administrative changes in the Yankee organization, which are reported imminent. BATTALION CLASSIFIED INTRAMURALS said openly that he fears Jake Gibbs, the ace Rebel passer. TCU must be expecting trouble aplenty from Pittsburgh at Port Worth Saturday. Coach Abe Mar tin is shaking up his lineup until even the coaches are going to have trouble recognizing it. The latest moves were to bring senior left end Milton Ham back to the start ing team and move sophomore Richard Holden up. Bryan Hosts Waco Tonight On Kyle Field The Bryan Broncos will play Waco tonight at 7:30 on Kyle Field in one of the top 4-A high school grid contest slated this weekend. The game was originally sche duled for Bronco Stadium, but since Kyle Field had been cover ed during the rain this week and an overflow crowd is anticipated, plans were made Thursday for the change. Waco will go into the game with a 4-1 record and rated seventh in 4-A while Bryan is undefeated in six starts. ‘ Things in intramurals moved along pretty good yesterday as re sults of various sports were re corded for the first time in around a week. In Class B football, F-l and Sq. 7 tied 0-0, but F-l won the contest on penetrations; A-l out-classed L-2, 14-6; and E-l won over Sq. 6, 14-8.

The contract was six no-trump. Some say declarer should have played the Fiskill Convention, squeezing West while end-playing East. Others, however, say a straight dummy reversal and a trump coup would bring home the contract. What would you do with a hand like this? No Trump DEAR NO TRUMP: In our club, successful play would require slapping the Jack, whistling at the Queen and quickly saying “Sir Hinkum Dinkum Fuzzy Duster" when the one-eyed King is played. Dear Dr. Frood: How can a nice girl tell whether a boy is sincere—or just a wolf—when he asks for a kiss? Nice Girl DEAR NICE: Ask to see his teeth. Dear Dr. Frood: Everybody laughed when I brought my mother to the Homecoming Dance. What’s so funny about that? Freshman DEAR FRESHMAN: She’s probably a very funny woman. Dear Dr. Frood: Like every normal college man, smoke Luckies. The other day I met this character who smoked something else. I want to know how a guy can be stupid as that and still get into college. Luchy Fan DEAR LUCKY: Obviously your college is very easy to get into. Dear Dr. Frood: I am 20 years old and I am about to marry a very nice, well-to-do man. He is 92 years old. Do you think the gap in our ages will affect our happiness? Fiancee DEAR FIANCEE: Not for long. “IF YOU DON’T SMOKE LUCKIES,” SAYS FROOD, “YOU OUGHT TO HAVE YOUR HEAD EXAMINED!” And Frood ought to know. His head has been examined seventy-three times. (And phrenologists are still wondering where he got the good sense to smoke Luckies.) CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change! Product of iJ/ui, dnwu&am is our middle name ©4. T.C&.J
