12th Man On Senior Team-Bob Phillips
The Aggies go into their 9th
game of the season Saturday
against Rice with 12 seniors. But
when the ' 1960 season opened it
was thought the Cadets had but
11 third-year men.
The near-junior is Bob Phillips,
starting right end from Tuloso-
Midway High School in Corpus
Christi.
Bob was listed as a junior back
in September because it appeared
he was a hold-out in his sophomore
year of 1958. But he called atten
tion to the fact that he made two
brief appearances that year so an
other senior was added to the Ag
gie roster.
Minnesota Rated
No. 1 in Nation
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Coach Murray Warmath’s Min
nesota Gophers, last in the West
ern Conference a year ago, are
the new golden boys of college
football with a No. 1 ranking in
the weekly Associated Press poll
after their 27-10 conquest of Iowa.
By knocking off previously un
beaten Iowa, Minnesota rolled to
its seventh straight victory and
earned 40 first-place ballots from
the 48-man panel of sports writ
ers and sportscasters. Four went
to Missouri and one each for Ohio
State, Mississippi and Washington.
One vote was missing.
Missouri also drew solid support
to rank No. 2 in the nation with
eight straight victories and a firm
hold on the Big Eight lead after
its 16-6 triumph over Colorado.
Ohio State jumped from fifth to
third off a 36-7 romp over In
diana. The Buckeyes have a “big
game” Saturday against Iowa.
Missisippi, tied once but unbeaten
in eight starts, advanced from
sixth to fourth by whipping Chat
tanooga 45-0. Ole Miss next meets
Tennessee, which was dropped out
of the top 10 by its 14-7 defeat
at the hands of Georgia Tech.
Five of last week’s top 10 were
beaten Saturday. Three of the
losers—Tennessee, Syracuse and
Rice—fell out of the top listing.
They were replaced by Duke, Ar
kansas and Auburn.
Iowa’s defeat dropped the Hawk-
eyes all the way from No. 1 to
No. 5.
Washington edged up one place
to No. 6 off its 34-0 victory over
Southern California that practic
ally clinched a place in the Rose
Bowl.
Duke’s 19-10 upset of previous
ly unbeaten Navy put the Blue
Devils in the No. 7 spot and
dropped Navy to No. 8. Arkansas’
3-0 squeaker over Rice on Mickey
Cissell’s field goal with 25 seconds
to go moved the Hogs into the
Southwest Conference lead and the
No. 9 spot in the poll. Auburn
took over the 10th position in its
27-12 victory over Mississippi
State.

“I was powder-burned twice
that year—went in just before the
gun went off,” Phillips laughingly'
recalls.
Bob has been a regular the past
two years and his services would
be welcomed again next year but
now he’ll wind up his career in
the next two games along with 11
other Cadets.
Phillips—no relation to Jim
Phillips, sophomore guard from
Freeport—has been one of the
main cogs in A&M’s tough de
fensive line and as such he prefers
defense to offense.

“I guess the offensive end gets
more publicity for pass receiving,”
the handsome, crew-cut brunette
stated, “but I like to play de
fense.”
As one of the Fightin’ Fourteen
—the Aggies’ top two lines—Bob
figured in the goal-line stand
against SMU last week when the
Mustangs were stopped four times
inside the A&M three-yard line.
A 16-letter athlete at Tuloso-
Midway, Bob was an All-District
halfback, a basketball center, base
ball catcher and figured in the
shot put, discus, high jump and
mile relay in track. He lettered
four years in each of the four
sports but concentrated on foot
ball at A&M.
As a frosh in 1957 Sob played
fullback and end. He was a block
ing back on the singlewing as a
sophomore and has stayed at end
the past two years.
He thinks his best games this
fall were against Texas Tech and
Arkansas and “maybe Baylor.”
Against Baylor, Bob played
against a familiar figure—Ronnie
Bull of Baylor and forpierly of
Bishop High near Corpus.
“Our team had a 9-1 record my
senior year,” Bob recalls. “The
only loss was to Bishop when we
tried to stop Bull,” he added.
A business major at A&M, Bob
wants to go into industrial sales
manship following graduation.

Wichita Falls
Takes Over HS
Football Lead
By The Associated Press
DALLAS—Wichita Falls Mon
day replaced Baytown as the No.
1 team in Class AAAA in the Dal
les News’ copyrighted schoolboy
football poll.
The Coyotes, among the leaders
throughout the season, gained the
top spot when Baytown lost 7-6 to
Galena Park. The Ganders had
been top ranked since their second
game of the season.
Jacksonville retained its summit
slot in Class AAA. Olney held to
its Class AA leadership and Stin
nett again reigned as the Class
A kingpin.
Dallas Samuell, who like Wich
ita Falls, is undefeatd in eight
games, moved into the No. 2 posi
tion with Port Arthur third and
Baytown fourth. Borger, after a
brief absence, returned to the top
ten in the No. 8 spot.
Unbeaten Pharr-San Juan-Al-
amo cracked the Class AAA top
ten for the first time this season
and Port Lavaca made a return
appearance. Sweetwater and Kil
gore, both leaders during the early
part of the season, fell from the
group.
Taylor moved ahead of Denver
City in the Class AA runnerup po
sition and Olton replaced Hooks
in the group.
Class remained unchanged with
Crowell, Albany and George West
ranked, in order, behind Stinnett,
the seasonal leader.
Scoreless Tie Breaks
A&M’s School Record
Although the Aggies didn’t win
Saturday with Southern Methodist
University in Dallas, they tied for
the third time this year which
breaks a school record for ties.
Saturday’s game was one of
“if’s” and “could have’s” as the
Cadets threatened within the 20-
yard line three times during the
contest. “If” they hadn’t fumbled
two of these times the Ags “could
have” scored and brought home a
victory.
The big SMU “if” came in the
third quarter as Ray Schoenke
broke up a Lee Roy Caffey punt
and took the ball on the A&M
three-yard line.
One of the brighter spots of the
day was turned in by the Aggies
at this stage of the game as they
pushed the Ponies back to the
five-yard line before taking over
on downs. The defensive stand
was sparked by the tackling of
Brazos Officials
Hold First Meeting
Of Year in Bryan
The Brazos Valley Chapter of
the Southwest Basketball Officials
Assn, held its initial meeting of
the season last night at Lamar
Junior High School in Bryan.
Weekly meetings are held dur
ing the basketball season to dis
cuss and study the rules of the
game and the proper interpreta
tion of them. Members of the
chapter officiate both boys’ and
girl’s basketball games at schools
located throughout a 10-county
area surrounding Bryan.
President of the local chapter is
Jim O’Connell, while Jim Nevill
serves as secretary-treasurer. Joe
Daisa is SBOA district representa
tive for the Waco, Austin, Rock
dale, Temple and Bryan area.
Those interested in basketball
officiating and becoming members
of the SBOA are invited to attend
this organizational meeting, says
O’Connell. Coaches of the sport
are particularly invited to attend
the weekly meetings.

Caskey in the end zone.
Although the Ags couldn’t find
the scoring punch, their passing
game showed improvement as five
out of nine were completed. Quar
terback Daryle Keeling completed
four while halfback Jon Few con
nected with one.
Saturday’s game could have
been tagged as a consolation prize
for the Ponies since it was their
first time in seven starts this sea
son that they haven’t come out on
the bottom end of the scoring col
umn.
But it also put SMU just three
games away from their worst sea
son in history. During their sec
ond year of football in 1916, the
Ponies didn’t win any games and
tied two. The rest of the season
doesn’t look too bright for the
Ponies as they meet three of the
top four teams in the conference
with Arkansas, Baylor and Texas
Christian.
Injuries were numerous in the
Aggie camp yesterday as a result
of Saturday’s action.
Jim Murphy and Ralph Smith
missed workout with knee injuries.
Murphy was injured on the open
ing kickoff while Smith was hurt
in the closing minutes of play.
Both men are doubtful for this
weekend’s game with Rice.
Babe Craig is still on the ailing
list with a back injury that has
kept him sidelined for the past
two games and his status is still
undetermined.
Sam Byer also missed yester
day’s workout with a charley-
horse, but is expected to be fully
recovered by the Rice game.

“I ENGINEERED MICROWAVE TOWER LOCATIONS
ON MY FIRST ASSIGNMENT”
When Bill Pigott knocked on the door of
Pacific Telephone, he had two big assets. One
was an electrical engineering degree from Seattle
University. The other was a craving to jump
right into vital engineering problems.
It was not long before Bill was exploring
Washington’s rugged Cascade Range in a heli
copter to find sites for microwave relay towers
—part of a multimillion dollar telephone con
struction job. Today, it’s considerable satisfac
tion to him to see these towers spanning the
mountains, knowing that his planning helped
put them there.,
Other important assignments followed: engi
neering maritime radio systems, SAGE systems
—figuring engineering costs for Air Force Titan
missile bases.
“Our people respect a man’s engineering
training—you really get a chance to show what
you've got on the ball,” Bill says. “I was up to
my neck in tough engineering problems right
from the start.”
