THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES SALUTE CARL HORN How many more people will need telephone service in Illinois by 1970? How many more tele phone buildings should be built, how much more equipment ordered? Helping to find the right answers (because the wrong ones could be very ex pensive) is the job of Carl Horn, a telephone com pany economist who graduated from college just last year. His studies and estimates help management make important forecasting decisions. Decisions that will bring advanced communications to the nation. Carl Horn of Illinois Bell Telephone Company, and other young men like him in Bell Telephone Companies, help make your telephone and com munications service the finest in the world. ) BELL TELEPHONE COIYIPANIES THE BATTALION Thursday, October 19, 19G1 College Station, Texas Page5 FROM THE ines By Larry Smith Ags Due For Stiff Fight Against TCU This Saturday on Amon Carter Field in Fort Worth, the Aggies will have their most trying battle of the football season. After a tie and a defeat, the Cadets have come out triumphant in their last two outings. In fact, in the last two games they have scored 220 more points than they did the entire 1960 season. Thus, A&M has a winning streak for the first time since 1959 when they won three in succession. The victories were a 9-7 win over Michigan State, a 7-3 decision over Mississippi State and a 28-6 crush ing of Houston. At this stage of the season in 1959, the Aggies were riding high on the arm of the great Charley Milstead and sports writers over the state were picking the Ags as the team to beat. A&M hadn’t been the pre-season favorite, but they were rolling and were getting tougher. Their next game was against the TCU Horned Frogs and the Cadets were favored by a couple of touchdowns. The spirit was high at Aggieland for the first time since 1957. But then the tragedy hit! The Horned Frogs racked and humili ated the Aggies as they thrashed them, 39-6. This marked the worse defeat an A&M team had ever suffered from a TCU squad. After the game, the Ags seemed lost and their secret of the scoring punch was gone. They didn’t win another game that season, even though they battled everyone right down to the final seconds. Once again the Aggies are riding high, but this time they won’t be surprised by the intelligent antics of Coach Abe Martin, or the fact that Texas Tech smashed the Frogs last week, 10-0. Junior guard Jim Harper is the only Aggie who will miss the game due to an injury and the spirit this week has been raised by the re turn of halfback George Hargatt to action. Coach Jim Myers said that his team isn’t being deceived by Texas Tech’s upset victory over TCU. “We know that Abe Martin has a very outstanding football team— one that is young but big and tough,” Myers added. TCU has several men who may qualify for All-SWC honors—Son ny Gibbs, the giant passing quar terback; Ray Pinion, the 227- pound guard who was All-SWC last fall; and Bobby Plummer, the 220-pound tackle who is being boomed for All-America honors. The Horned Frogs will be tough, but they compare with the Aggies of ’59. They will give a good bat tle, but look for a good old-fash ioned, hard-fought Aggie victory. | “Sports Car Center” : Dealers for : I Renault-Peugeot : & : British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service i ;“We Service All Foreign Cars”| 11416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517; ■ B ■ ■ Q ■ ■ MJi M B M MJ B 1 ■ E M W December 5 Date For Cooper-Foiley Heavyweight Tilt LONDON (AP)—Henry Cooper, British heavyweight champion, agreed Wednesday to meet Zoxa Folley of Phoenix, Ariz., in a grudge contest here Dec. 5 — a fight that could decide a 1962- challenger for a world heavy weight Floyd Patterson. Cooper, variously rated one or two in the list of challengers, out pointed Folley in London in a con troversial 10-rounder, Oct. 14, 1958. Folley now is rated the No. 6 heavyweight in the world and still is dangerous.
