THE BATTALION
■>,000 EXPECTED
Cadets Seek Victory From
Off Again, On Again Owls
Another exciting football game
is expected in Rice Stadium this
Saturday as the Aggies (and the
Corps of Cadets) invade the Rice
Owls (and Houston).
The Owls, who own a 4-3 record,
were pre-season favorites for the
Southwest Conference champion
ship. After a stirring victory over
LSU, Rice lost to Georgia Tech by
24 points and since then the Owls
have been running hot and cold.
Rice’s outstanding quarterback
of last year, Billy Cox, has failed
to live up to expectation, which has
added to the disappointment.
The old master of SWC coaching,
Jess Neely, was even hanged in
effigy earlier this week. He has
been coach at the Houston for 22
years.
nS,000 Expected
A crowd of over 55,000 is expect
ed to be on hand for the battle. The
Aggies, always a favorite in Hous
ton because of the number of exes,
will be seeking their 24th victory
from this 47th game. The Rice-
A&M series started in 19t4 with
the Ags winning 23, losing 19 and
three ending in ties.
Roland Jackson, Rice’s outstand
ing fullback who has played tre
mendous football this season, is a
doubtful participant with a painful
hip bruise, according to Rice offi
cials. Jackson’s alternate, Lonnie
Caddell, has a broken nose and is
doubtful.
Other injuries on the Owl squad
include center Dan Malin, half
back Butch Blume and tackle John
Cornett. Blume and Cornett have
almost recovered from their hurts
and will probably see extensive
duty against the Aggies.
Five Doubtful
As far as injuries go, the Aggies
aren’t in very good shape. The
starting two halfbacks, Travis
Reagan and Jim Linnstaedter, have
missed most of this week’s prac
tice with a knee injury and bruised
hip, respectively.
Guard Bull Phillips and kicking
specialist Mike Clark have chest
and shoulder injuries, and are
doubtful performers this weekend.
George Hogan, who has been on
the injury list for the past two
weeks, will probably not play.
Ken Kipp, the defensive halfback
spjecialist, will see action for the
first time since the Baylor game.
Men to watch on the Rice squad
are ends Johnny Burrell and Gene
Raesz, tackle Robert Johnston,
halfback Blume and fullback Jack-
Injuries will probably play an
important part in the game as they
usually do at this time of the
season.
Since 1957, the Rice-A&M con-

Pro Football To Be
National Sport
By IRWIN FRANK
DALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Profes
sional football, with its violent
physical contact, will become the
national sport of the United States
within 10 to 20 years, Oliver
Kuechle, sports editor of the Mil
waukee Journal said Thursday.
Kuechle made the prediction at
a panel discussion on sports news
at The Associated Press Managing
Editors convention.
“Baseball is a declining sport,”
he said. “The crowds are smaller,
more people leave in the fifth and
sixth innings than ever before, the
games are too long.”
‘In 10 or 20 years pro football
will 11 regarded as our national
sport,” said Kuechle, who has
been a sports writer for 37 years.
“Football is combative, you have
physical contact. People want to
see this because we have always
struggled—the highest type of
struggle is physical combat.” Kue
chle said.
He contracted this with base
ball where he said “nine men are
scattered on a baseball field. The
pitcher throws the ball and, per
haps someone hits it.”
He predicted that the pro foot
ball season, which now starts in
the middle of September, will stai’t
in the middle of August.
“And we may well see pro games
played at night in the middle of
the week and not just on Sun
days.”
Mets’ Boss Ready
For Annual Meet

fewer than the 1960 team.
By JOE REICHLER
Assaociated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — George
Weis, president of the New York
Mets, said Thursday he expected
to be in the thick of the trading
mart when the major leagues hold
their annual meeting in Florida
next month.
“I have every reason to believe
we will do some trading as well as
buying at the meetings,” asserted
the ex-general manager of the New
York Yankees. “Several clubs have
approached us on some of our
young pitchers.”
Weiss stressed young pitching
when he made his selections of the
National League expendables dur
ing the special draft last month.
The Mets then purchased 21 play
ers for $1,800,000.
“I won’t identify any of the
clubs or the players mentioned,”
he said, “but as you know, we
can use strength at any position. I
think we’ve got room for improve
ment most any place.”
The Mets’ strength, if that’s the
right word, lies in their pitching.
“I think our young pitching will
be a powerful factor in determin
ing where we will finish in the
Intramurals
In intramural football yesterday
only one game was played in Class
A. Two were scheduled for Class
C. Six coui'ts were in use for Class
B horseshoes.
In upperclassman football Sqd.

of Walton Hall similarly edged
Milner Hall, 6-0.
Hensel Apartments won by for

National League race,” said the
66-year-old executive. “We’ve got
five pitchers, all young, who we
know have strong arms. They are
Bob Miller, Cards, Craig Ander
son, Cards, Jay Hook, Reds, Al
Jackson, Pirates and Sherman
Jones, Reds. If three of them come
through for us, say win from 10
to 15 games, we may surprise a
lot of people.”
“Then, of course, we have such
veteran pitchers as Roger Craig,
Dodgers and Billy Loes, Giants,
who should help us. We’ve also re
ceived good reports on Ray Davi-
ault, Ken MacKenzie and Bob Botz,
who specialize in relief.”
The Mets currently have 29 play
ers on their roster. Weiss said he
hopes to reach the 40 player limit
by the time the team reports to
its St. Petersburg spring training
camp in February.
“We plan to draft two players
at the minor league meetings,”
he said ‘.Then we hope, either
through trades or purchases, to add
nine more but they will have to
be worthy of major league class
ification.”
When Jack (Tex) Evans scored
a goal for Chicago against Detroit
in October it was his first goal
in 195 National Hockey League
games. He’s a 33-year-old defense-

WHAT DOES AN OLD GRAD LIKE BEST ABOUT HOMECOMING? Next to shaking
hands, he likes reminiscing. About fraternity parties, girls, sorority parties, girls,
off-campus parties, girls—-and, of course, about how great cigarettes used to
taste. Fortunately for you, Luckies still do taste great. (So great that college
students smoke more of them than any other regular cigarette.) Which shows
that the important things in college life stay the same. Parties. Girls. Luckies.
