Aggies Face Gibbs,
Rest Of Frogs Too
By VAN CONNER
Battalion Sports Editor
Coach Hank Foldberg’s Aggie
footballers face Sonny Gibbs on
Kyle Field Saturday—oh yes, and
the rest of the TCU Horned Frogs,
too.
The intersectional ramblings of
the A&M grid squad ended last
week when they returned from a
rather unhappy encounter with
the Florida Gators in the Sunshine
State. Beginning with Gibbs—I
mean TCU—the Ags start a six-
game series against SWC oppon
ents.
They enter earnest conference
competition with a T—0-0 slate in
the SWC, by virtue of their clos
ing-seconds 7-3 win over Texas
Tech two weeks ago. TCU left
Fort Worth with a 1-1-0 confer
ence record, having lost to the for
midable Arkansas Razorbacks, 42-
14, and having beaten the hapless
Tech club, 35-13.
IN ADDITION to fighting to
keep alive in the SWC chase, the
Ags will be out for revenge against
Gibbs and the Frogs. Last year,
playing in protective pads for a
dislocated shoulder and broken
ribs, the 6-7, 230-pound field gen
eral completed seven of nine pass
es, including a scoring 44-yarder,
to figure in TCU’s 15-14 upset over
the Cadets in Fort Worth.
Foldberg, although he certainly
is not ignoring Abe Martin’s
prized quarterback, has pointed
toward the Horned Frog squad as
» whole:
“This is a little different type
ball club than we have met, with
good passing and running. You
can not devote too much time to
stopping Sonny Gibbs’ passing be
cause of their strong running
game.”
“We hope to have a balance on
defense to take care of both situ
ations,” he adds. “We have high
respect for the entire TCU team.”
With four tough games and a
number of experience-yielding mis
takes under their belts, the Aggies
will go into this game better pre
pared than they have been so far.
The overall physical condition of
the squad is prime.
JERRY ROGERS, the tough lit
tle fullback who started against
LSU and Houston and received
a leg injury at Houston that has
benched him since, will be ready
Saturday. Quarterback Jim Kel
ler, who missed the Tech clash
because of an injury and wasn’t
up to par last week, should be back
in good shape.
Fans will get some change Sat
urday in that the Frogs do not
formally rwe the popular three-unit
system. The Ags will go with
their Old Sarge, Gig em and Light
ning units, trying to wear down
Gibbs and what Martin thinks is
his best eleven. It can’t be con
sidered a real test of either sys
tem, since the Horned Frogs will
probably be substituting almost
as much as the Ags, and with
units.
Keller and Gibbs are the two
tallest quarterbacks in the SWC,
with the Aggie field general meas
uring 6-4. Both teams will bring
an assortment of men who figure
in conference stats into the con
test.
A&M and TCU are ranked third
and fourth, respectively, in the
per game defense. The Frogs are
third in per game offense and the
Ags rank eighth.
All-A m e r i c a candidates will
grace Kyle Field Saturday as
A&M’s Jerry Hopkins and Gibbs
of TCU work against each other.
GIBBS IS SECOND in confer
ence passing with 32 of 66 for 403
and two intercepted. He is third
in total offense. Keller ranks
fifth in the passing column with
18 for 31 for 182 yards. He is
seventh in total offense.
Frog fullback Tommy Crutcher,
who has 178 yards on 40 tries, is
fifth in SWC ball-carrying. TCU
ends Ben Nix and Tom Magoffin
are fourth and fifth, respectively,
in league pass receiving.
The ball game will be broadcast
over the Humble network by Yes
Box and Dave Smith at 1:45 p.m.
Saturday.
Baylor Cubs, Penalties Top
Aggie Fish 10-7 In Waco
Leads Frog Attack
Giant quarterback Sonny Gibbs will lead the TCU Homed
Frogs’ offensive efforts against the Aggies on Kyle Field
Saturday. Gibbs hit 10 of 19 passes for 145 yards and two
touchdowns last week in TCU’s 35-13 rout of the Tech Red
Raiders. He also scored two six-pointers afoot. A pre
season All-America pick, he looks as if he is making a run
for the same honors on November ballots.
Royal Tells Critics
‘Layoff Longhorns’
AUSTIN (^P) —Coach Darrell
Royal lashed out at critics of this
year’s Texas team as well as him
self Wednesday.
Royal said he was sick and tired

PLASTIC COVERS ARE NOW
of people asking “What’s wrong
with the Longhorns?”
“Our players are undefeated
and yet they’re going around with
their chins on their chests because
they’re not accepted,” Royal said.
He said his 1957 team with a 2-2
record felt more accepted than
this year.
“Some people think there’s only
one team in the conference and
that is the University of Arkan
sas,” he said. “I can tell you
we’re not going out there to lose,”
speaking of Saturday night’s battle
between the two conference pow
ers at Austin.

Overwhelmed by red flags and
green and white jerseys, the A&M
Fish dropped a frustrating 10-7
decision to the Baylor Cubs Thurs
day night in Baylor Stadium.
A “Merchant’s Night” crowd of
5,000 watched the Cubs overcome
a fourth-quarter 7-3 deficit to
score the deciding touchdown with
1:31 left on the scoreboard clock.
Baylor’s final drive started on
its own 24 and 12 plays—and two
Aggie 15-yard penalties — later,
fullback* Mike Marshall skirted
right end for one yard and the
score.
Tommy Shaffner converted to
make the three-point margin.
Baylor opened a first half that
saw the ball change hands 16 times
by kicking off to Jerry Kaschtik
of the Fish who returned to the
Ag 34.
The Fish got nowhere in four
quick plays and quarterback Ira
Hillyer punted 30 yards to the
Cub 30.
BAYLOR TOOK over and with
Mike Marshalls coming out of
the woodwork as well as going
through the line, moved the ball
to the Fish 37.
(The Cubs had two Mike Mar
shalls—the quarterback from Irv
ing and the fullback from Mount
Pleasant. Both played most of the
game, confusing the announcer,
this reporter and the Aggies.)
A&M held on a 4th-and-one and
tried three more useless plays be
fore QB Glynn Lindsey kicked to
the Cub 25.
The two teams engaged in a
punting match for the remainder
of the first quarter, allowing the
crowd to chat with their friends
in the stands.
A&M controlled the second quar
ter, reaching the Baylor 24 and
39 while limiting the Cubs to no
first downs and a minus eight
yards rushing.
The first half ended with the
goal lines untouched and barely
in binocular range.
THE FANS WERE awakened
early in the second half when Fish
Lenward Caraway kicked off to
the Baylor seven and Cub half
back Max Emfinger returned 42
yards to the Baptist 49.
With the Marshalls again doing
most of the work, and with no
help fi'om the officials, the Cubs
used a dozen plays moving to the
Aggie eight-yard line. Unable to
breech the Cadet defense for a
six-pointer, the Cubs chose to go
over the line and Shaffner booted
a 15-yard field goal with 9:25 re
maining to give Baylor a 3-0 lead.
Following the kickoff, the A&M
Frosh put the ball in play on their
own 33. The Fish moved the ball
down to the Baylor 39 where the
wary eye of a man in stripes
caught the Farmers clipping and
forced them to retreat to the A&M
48.
AFTER TWO incomplete passes,
the order of the day as the Ags
completed only three out of 13,
Hillyer punted out of bounds on
the Baylor 12.
Seven plays later the Fish got
their first break of the game. Fish
guard Joe Wellborn recovered a
Cub fumble on the Baylor 34.
With Lindsey at quarterback and
Tommy Byer threading the “good
ol’ Baylor line,” the Ags covered
the 34 yards in 10 plays with Li;,i
sey going over from the one's
the go-ahead score. Bob Lee con
verted and with 12 minutes is;
in the game the Ags led 7-3,
The Cubs, unapproving of S
development, came back afters
exchange of punts and moved'!
yards in 12 plays for the gar-
ending tally.
