Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, October 27, 1960 FROM THE vrn-Hi Sidelines By Joe Callicoafte When Saturday rolls around, it will be another big foot ball weekend on the A&M campus. All the Aggies will be out in Kyle Field yelling their lungs out and generally creating a favorable impression with their “Aggie Spirit”. But, is this spirit genuine? The Cadets in khaki will be at the ball game in mass. Some will be there to yell the team on to victory, but others will be there because they have no choice. The matter of choice was well represented in Waco last weekend when the Aggies battled the Baylor Bears. The Ag gies that attended stood tall, but their ranks were thin. Last week some A&M students constructed a petition that in short stated “We’re behind the Aggie football team”. As the petition was circulated around the campus, over 4500 people signed it before it was presented to the team and coaching staff, but strangely only a little over 600 student tickets were sold to the Baylor game. However, a few more Aggies showed up at the ball game, but the number was far from 4500. The administration did their part for the Baylor game and required no Corps drill Saturday morning so everyone would have plenty of time to reach Waco before the football game. Where was everyone ? They went home, to Austin, Dal las, San Antonio and all over the state except Waco. The little town of Marlin put Aggie spirit in the shade Friday afternoon as the football team passed through. They stopped the busses, motioned the coaches, captains and: their. own Sam Byer out and held a full scale parade through tfie street s v 1 This is the kind of backing that any team is proud to have. ■ So, if any more petitions are ;+A immovSSftor +Vi?i+ afr+inna Umonh miipTi Irmrlov than uemeiftber that factions Pittsburgh Picked To Upset Syracuse By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK—Don’t go hocking the family jewels but the best bet of the week—in our clouded foot ball crystal ball—is Pittsburgh to upset national champion Syracuse. Pitt is a slumbering giant which must awaken one of these days with a violent start. Syracuse, lacking the cohesion and desire of 1959, is ripe for plucking and Pitt should do it, 20-14. Last week’s score 41-13 for .758. Other specialties: Navy 28 Notre Dame 14: Fight- Irish lose their fifth in a row. Georgia Tech 15 Duke 13: Duke will be down a bit for an always tough Tech.

Statistics released today by the NCAA Service Bureau show that Dick Fitzsimmons of Denver and Fred Cox of Pittsburgh are so close in the race for the punting lead that it’s virtually impossible to separate them. In field goal kicking, Georgia Tech’s Tommy Wells, the season- long leader, now has two strong challengers—Edy Dyas of Auburn and Durward Pennington of Geor gia. The NCAA figures credit Fitz simmons with an average of 43.23 yards on the minimum of 13 punts and Cox with 43.19 yards on 21 kicks. Jim Bakken of Wisconsin is third with 42.9—one of seven players averaging better than 42 yards. Wells has kicked a record- equalling number .of. seven Held goals and Dyas and Pennington six, .and five, respectively, , , LE LT LG C RG RT RE QB LH RH FB Intramurals Forfeits had a big part in de ciding games yesterday, as four contests were won this way.

Game time is at 7:30 p. m. Coach Travis (Shorty) Hughes’ Fish have a 1-1 record after losing the opener to TCU Wogs, 12-0, and whipping the Baylor Cubs in the rain, 17-6. Kittens Winless The University of Houston Kit tens have lost their first three games to Victoria JC, Wharton JC and the University of Mexico. Two Aggie Fish are expected to see limited action, if any, in the game tonight. George Hargett, who put on a great show against the Cubs by scoring 11 points, is nurs ing a bad shoulder and may see some action on offensive. Mac Compton, the 190-pound center from Henderson, has an injured ankle and is definitely out. All of the other Fish are in top shape. Two Changes Two changes have been made in the Fish starting lineup since the Cubs game.

Rogers has regained his starting berth that he occupied in the Wog game, and Travis Reagan has moved up to take over at left halfback for the injured George Hargett. The fish have been working with the varsity most of the last touple of weeks, but are expected to be ready for the contest with the Kit tens. Fish Ready Coach Hughes said, The Fish Ex-Aggies Obvious Probation Cause By The Associated Press DALLAS—The football players Kansas University was penalized for recruiting illegally Wednesday obviously were Texans. The NCAA did not divulge their names but four who went from Southwest Conference schools to Kansas a year ago fitted the de scription of those cited in the NCAA penalty. Two Year Probation The NCAA, meeting at San Francisco, put Kansas on two ye^r- probation- for illegally recruiting three transfer football players and for giving one basketball player —Wilt Chamberlain—an automo bile Three KU Athletes-Aggies The athletes leaving Southwest Conference.,jB^aP^Js in 1959 after playing freshman football were Rodger McFarland of Fort Worth, Mickey Walker of Port Arthur and James Street of Nederland, who left A&M, and Bert Coan of Pasadena, who departed from Texas Christian, They had to lay out a year at Kansas under the transfer rule. Names Officially Withheld Which three were involved in the recruiting penalty was not disclosed. Coan and McFarland are on the Kansas varsity team this year. Walker and Street did not stay at Kansas. Athletic director Dutch Meyer of Texas Christian protested over the loss of Coan and said he would ask the NCAA for an investiga tion. Meyer said at the time of his protest that Kansas had not con tacted TCU regarding the trans fer of Coan and he charged that someone outside of the school had gotten the Pasadena trackman- gridder to go to Kansas. yimm are in a good frame of mind and I believe they will really be ready for Houston. The Kittens are a big team and they have had two weeks to prepare for this contest. They 11 be ready too.” Last year the Fish defeated the Kittens, 20-6, for their only win of the season. AGGIES!
