THE BATTALION
Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, November 18, 1960
Wednesday may be voted by some people as darkest day
in A&M’s 1960 football season as old Man Hex put his mark
on Sam Byer.
It was learned, after a trip to a Houston specialist, that
Byer would definitely be sidelined for the Thanksgiving
game with Texas University.
Byer injured his leg in the Arkansas game as Dean
Garrett tied into him with a bone-crushing tackle. At first
Byer was believed only to have a charley horse, but after
failing to respond to treatment for over three weeks, the
specialist found that the trouble was a calcium deposit.
However, the picture may not be as black as it has been
painted by some panicked people.
Although the Aggies weren’t winners over the Rice Owls
last weekend, they did something that no other team has
managed to do all year. They scored two touchdowns against
Rice.
And those two TDs were scored without Byer.
This does not mean that Byer is not an outstanding
football player and doesn’t deserve all the acclaim that has
been bestowed upon him this year, but it means that the Ag
gies are a team. No one man can play a ball game alone.
One of the biggest things that has to be taken into con
sideration when Byer’s accomplishments are reviewed—the
Aggie line that has lately become known as the “Fightin
Fourteen.”
More than once during the year when Byer was being
interviewed after a game, his first comment was “With a
line like ours blocking in front of you, those big holes can’t
be missed.”
In the backfield Byer has had a “shadow” in the person
of Lee Roy Caffey who has sparkled on both offense and
defense. Instead of singleing out the best fullback, most op
posing coaches agree that A&M had the best “one-two” full
back punch in the conference.
Last Saturday the Aggie passing game was brighter
than it had been all season because of the efforts turned in
by six passers and five receivers.
The backs couldn’t have thrown or run without the line
blocking, and the blocking would have been in vain without
the backs.
So—when people start talking about how the loss of one
player will be disasterous, they should remember that a team
makes a man, not one man makes a team.

CHS: Giant Killers!
By RUSSELL BROWN
A&M Consolidated’s Tigers will
portray the role of giant killer as
the battle of David and Goliath
is restaged on Kyle Field at 7:30
p.m. Saturday night in a Region
V bi-district fracas.
The Taylor Ducks, 10-0 record
holders with 437 points and a No.
1 ration in Class AA ranks, are
cast in the part of Goliath, while
the local Tigers, winners of Dis
trict 19-AA by a flip of the coin
and a 4-6 season count, must take
the role of David.
Coach Bill Ford’s Ducks have
looked impressive in racking up
their unbeaten string as the Tay
lor mentor has two all-state candi
dates in his backfield. His son
Budgie is the club’s signal caller
from fullback, runs the ball 70
per cent of the tirhe, runs the 100
in less than 10 seconds, and was
an all-stater last year as a junior
with 2,200 total yards on the
ground. The other scatback on
the eleven that has nine boys that
run a 10.5 or less hundred is the
left half Jan Mohel, a 175-pound
speedster. Mohel has racked up a
9.9 rushing average, 0.2 yards per
carry better than Ford, is a step
behind Ford in the dash, and does
most of the remaining ball-toting
for the Ducks.
Coach Ed Logan’s Tigers must
rely on their defensive unit to
cop an upset victory. A big ques
tion mark is the personage of 205-
pound left defensive tackle Alex
Quisenberry looms in the Tiger
camp. “Big Red” has a swollen
knee as the result of a leg injury
in the Cameron tilt last week.
Quisenberry has missed all work
outs this week and is a very doubt
ful starter in the Saturday tilt.
If Quisenberry is sidelined, left of
fensive tackle John Litzler and
offensive guard Mike Bloom will
be pressed into double service for
the Bengals.
Coach Logan’s ball-controlling
club will have to contain the
Ducks, an eleven that can score
from any spot on the field in one
play with their fantastic speed.
Ends Bob Adams and Larry Ran
dolph, and corner men George Out
law and Cyril Burke will have the
job of keeping Ford and Co. in
side.
Condy Pugh and Russell Welch
will handle the offensive quarter
back chores, hoping to use their
time-consuming s t r a i g h t-ahead
split-T brand of football to a good
advantage. The offense has
rolled up over 1,000 yards total
offense during the last four tilts
while taking the 19-AA title.

Three 1 Vital SWC
Games Scheduled
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Three games vital in the South
west Conference race are sched
uled in this the semi-final week
of the football campaign.
The big one is at Lubbock, where
Arkansas, that tight-fisted Ozark
horde, tries to put the clincher on
a Cotton Bowl shot by knocking
down reeling Texas Tech.
It could be for the championship
of Rice’s fears become realities
and TCU whips the Owls. Then
an Arkansas victory would give
the Razorbacks the title undis
puted.
Arkansas is closing the season
and will have a 6-1 record if it
whips Tech. The Razorbacks are
8-point favorites to do it.
Rice, with a 4-1 record and two
games to play, is a touchdown
choice over TCU at Houston.
But TCU takes the conference’s
best pass defense to the home of
the Owls and the Frogs are pretty
bitter about the whole thing. They
lost to Arkansas by a touchdown,
to Texas by one point and were
tied by A&M—which makes it
seems mighty close not to gain
a little glory. They’ll be trying
to take their mad on Rice.
Baylor, still hopeful that Ar-
I Intramurals
The “typical Aggie weather”
had an effect on intarmural sports
yesterday as only horseshoes were
run off.
In Class C horseshoes, Milner
Hall took Walton Hall, 3-0 by for
feit; Hart Hall edged Mitchell
Hall, 2-1; and Law Hall won over
Puryear Hall, 3-0 by forfeit.
H-2 beat their “brothers,” H-l,
2-1; and G-2 slipped past Sq. 14,
2-1.
kansas will stumble, plays lowly
SMU at Dallas. The Bears will be
out of it unless Arkansas does
take a trimming.
Baylor is a 13-point favorite
over SMU and that seems conser
vative. SMU lost to Arkansas
26-3 and Arkansas lost 28-14 to
Baylor.
It is possible for the race to
wind up in a four-way tie for the
championship but Texas Tech
would have to co-operate in mak
ing it so.
