Deserves Talking About
When somebody comes around
to do the final accounting on the
Southwest conference, tell him
about the Aggie line.
Although the Aggies have but a
1-4-2 record after seven games
this fall they’ve scared some of ’em
and tied a couple more and the
Fightin’ Fourteen up front have
kept the Cadets in the game until
the last second ticks off the clock.
The Aggie line has something
old, something new, something
borrowed and occasionally some
thing black and blue and the 14
members of the first two lines have
been blocking and tackling some
thing ferocious.
The old are the five seniors on
the team—Carter Franklin of Ke
rens, Capt. Roy Northrup of Ama
rillo, Bob Phillips of Corpus Chris-
ti, Ralph Smith of Phillips and
Wayne Labar of Harlingen.
The new are the five sophoprores
—Jim Phillips of Freeport, Jim
Harper of Borger, Jerry Hopkins
of Mart, Bobby Huntington' of
Plainview and Ben Krenek of El
Campo.
The borrowed is Joe “Buddy”
Filers of Hallettsville, the latest
©f a long line of 12th Men to come
©ut of the Aggie Cadet Corps and
make the starting team.
And the black and blue are all
14 of them after 60 minutes of the
bruising football played this fall
when two conference games were

Class A horseshoes was the most
popular short yesterday in intra

Sq. 8 bumped M Band, 2-1; Sq. 7
won over E-2 by forfeit; Sq. 3
edged H-2, 2-1; Sq. 14 beat D-2,
2-1; F-2 pitched past G-l, 2-1; and
Sq. 3 beat H-2, by the very popu

A thrilling game was the story

Only one game was played in

tied and two others lost only after
a rock-em, sock-em battle.
Then there are the four juniors
who played last year and have an
other year to go. These are Way-
land Simmons and Wayne Freil-
ing, both of San Antonio, Eilers,
and Russell Hill of Dallas.
Coach Jim Myers and his aides
have a lot of good things to say
about the Aggie line but when it
comes right down to it, the Aggie
backs are the people to go to for
a word about the Fightin’ Four
teen.
Take Sam Byer for instance.
He’s the sophomore fullback from
Marlin who is the No. 2 ground-
gainer in the conference. Sam says:
“Anytime that line does a good
job of blocking like it has done the
past three weeks, anybody can
look good carrying the ball. It’s
hard to estimate the tremendous
amount of improvement our line
has made this season. Ole Miss
failed to run as much on Arkansas
as we did and they’re ranked pret
ty high in the nation. That’s quite
an accomplishment for our line.”
When that conference auditor
gets through going over the A&M
line tell him a little more about
Carter Franklin, senior guard from
Kerens who has been one of the
leaders in the Aggie up-front pa
trol.
Be well groomed
for success
That “like new” look we give
your clothes is sure to make the
right impressions whether
you’re on the job or on the
town.
CAMPUS
CLEANERS
Carter hasn’t had a bad game in
his three years at A&M and his
consistency has paid big dividends.
Myers calls Carter “a good foot
ball player who is agile and with
football know-how.”
After the bruisin’ battle with
Arkansas Saturday night Carter
had this bouquet to throw at the
Razorbacks who took a hard-
fought, 7-3 victory:
“You can say this about Arkan
sas. Those little pigs are grown
up hogs with the lard rendered
out—they give you all you ask
for.”
The 200-pound all-conference
guard candidate not* only is making
his grades on the gridiron this
fall. He’s a top student and also is
in line for the all-SWC classroom
team.
Mr. Auditor!
You couldn’t find a better guard
any place.
Tigers, 12-6
By RUSSELL BROWN
The weatherman and the Rock
dale Tigers changed the A&M Con
solidated Tigers’ District 19-AA
script on Tiger Field Friday night
at the invading Rockdale club out-
swam the local Bengals 12-6.
Playing conditions were almost
impossible as the field was cover
ed with puddles of water at play
ing time which quickly turned to
a sea of mud in the first quarter.
The tilt was played in a driving
rain with the west sidelines com
pletely under water.
Homecoming was the theme of
the night, but all plans had to be
cancelled because of the weather
conditions. The crowning of Blair
Perryman as Homecoming Queen
took place at the dance following,
with Shirley Rogers and Sue Ross
being picked as duchesses.
Rockdale began the scoring ear
ly in the second period when a
Consolidated drive bogged down.
Ronnie Laurence took Condy
Pugh’s punt on the Rockdale 25,
eluded two onrushing Tigers, and
sped 75 yards untouched for the
initial TD. Ronnie’s brother Don
nie tried the extra point from
placement, but the ball slithered
•off to the right no good.
Both clubs slipped, slid, and
fumbled the remainder of the half
as Rockdale owned the 6.0 mar
gin at halftime.
Consolidated began to move in
the third period as the Bengals
marched 83 yards in just six plays.
Fullback Frank Hagler burst off
tackle and outromped four Tigers'
to the goal, covering 54 yards in
the process.
the process. Cyril Burke’s attempt
for two failed.
Rockdale picked up the deciding
break just three minutes later as
the local Bengals began to march
again. With a fourth and ten
situation on the Rockdale 20, Pugh
faded to pass only to see Rock
dale fullback Dan Yezak on the
receiving end of the Tiger 12. Ye
zak picked up some blocking and
returned the pilfered toss 88 yards
for the touchdown. Donnie Lau
rence missed the extra point, but
the Tigers had all the insurance
they needed in the muck.
FROM THE
Sideii
ineS
By Joe Callicoatte
“Outplay the Hell Outa’ Arkansas” was the cartoon
theme in The Battalion for last weekend’s game with the
Hogs, and that’s exactly what the Cadets did in every respect
except the score.
In the first downs department the Ags had 13 compared
to Arkansas’ 10. The Cadets rolled off 198 total yards while
the Hogs had 179. Even in the passing column where the
Aggies have been weak all season, they completed three for
six while Arkansas managed only one completion.
Some of the statistics found the Aggies outpunting
Arkansas with a 37.3 average compared to a 30.1 and Arkan
sas drew 47 yards of penalties while A&M had 28.
All these statistics sound good on paper, but the thing
that counts when the final tallies are in is the score, and it
was 3-7.
These games aren’t new in the Southwest Conference
nor are they new to the Cadets when they meet Arkansas
every year. The game that was played two years ago between
the two teams was much of the same as the Cadets almost
ran the Hogs off the field, only to fall 22-8.
It was all “hardnosed” football Saturday night as the
banging of shoulder pads and headgears could be heard in the
upper decks of Kyle Field.
As it was, Saturday’s game can be labeled as another
great effort that fell short.

With the General Election only
1 week off I would like to again
solicit your vote for Commis
sioner of Precinct One. During
the several years that I have
served as your Commissioner, it
has been a fqll time job with me,
and I have conscientiously tried
to serve all of the citizens of
my precinct fairly and cour-
tesouly. Since I have been in
office our precinct has added a
total of 42 miles of Farm to
Market roads, and 22 V2 miles
of County roads have been hard
surfaced. In addition, many
more miles of county and public
roads have been maintained, as
well as the other services per
formed for the land owners. As
many of you know, part of the
Farm to Market Roads are paid
for out of my Precinct budget
and all of the other construc
tion and maintainence is com
pletely paid for out of same, but
in spite of this, I am proud of
the fact that I have never spent
more than the amount budgeted
for our precinct and have at all
times tried to get the most for
our money by careful and pru
dent business practices. In
serving on the Commissioners’
Court of this County, I have
also done my best to practice
economy and thrift in our coun
ty finances and in 1959, we had
a 5c reduction in our county
taxes. If you re-elect me, I as
sure you that this practice will
be continued.
With your help and support, I
shall continue my full time work
as your County Commissioner,
and serve you to the best of
my ability.
This includes voting
precincts 1, 2, 3, 5,13 &
16.
Sincerely,
RAYMOND A. NOLAN
