N ARE FAL FTS Flavor ary ries r IN SWC TILT THE BATTALION Friday, October 18, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 5 Ags Test Froggies By JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor There’s an old game that used to be played a lot in children’s circles called ring-around-the-rosie. A&M will be playing a modified version called ring-around-Tommy Crutch er when the Cadets meet TCU Sat urday afternoon in Ft. Worth. The bone-crushing fullback was the big man in A&M’s 20-14 loss to the Horned Frogs last year. This season he has gained 242 yards in four games to rank third in the Southwest Conference in rushing. CRUTCHER won’t monopolize A&M’s attention though as Coach Hank Foldberg points out. “TCU has a well-rounded backfield and just stopping Crutcher will not be enough.” It's hard to see how the TCU fullback is going to move very far, at least up the middle. He will be facing a 500-pound obstacle that is more imposing than the Berlin wall This quarter of a ton in the middle of the line comes from a combination of the two centers facing each other—249-pound Ray Kubala and TCU’s 255-pound Ken Henson. Kickoff time is 2 p.m. in this 59th meeting between the two clubs. A&M leads in the series 29- 23-6 but haven’t beaten the Horned Frogs since 1957. Fourteen seems to be the popu lar number of points for the Ag gies to score against TCU. They tied 14-14 in 1960, and A&M lost 15-14 in ’61 and 20-14 in ’62. FOLDBERG WILL go with the same starting lineup that tromped Houston 23-13 last week. The Ag gies are in good physical shape with only halfback Travis Reagan on the questionable list. Reagan injured his shoulder against Texas Tech but is expected to see action Saturday. TCU has lost second unit quar terback Randy Howard who will be out for the season with a rib separation.

LOUPOT'S 5,000 Aggies Can’t Be Wrong At The North Gate VI 6-6312 THE AGGIES will take a 1-3 record into the game and stand 0- 1 in conference play. TCU has won three games and lost once to Arkansas. The Horned Frogs are 1- 1 in SWC action with a 35-3 vic tory over Texas Tech. Three other conference games are on tap, all coming at night. Arkansas hosts Texas in the fea ture game of the weekend. Built up as the SW C “Game of the Year”, the Hog-Steer battle has lost some of its luster after the Razorbacks lost to Baylor and Texas whipped top-rated Oklahoma last week. Remaining SWC action finds SMU at Rice and Baylor at Texas Tech. TCU Backs Charge Cadet Line These two Horned Frog halfbacks—Jim Fauver (21) and Marvin Chipman (25)—will be looking for holes in the Aggie defense Saturday afternoon when the two teams collide in Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth at 2 p. m. Arkansas Students Protest LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (A 5 )—Sat urday night’s grudge football game between top-ranked Texas and arch-rival Arkansas has brought a harvest of pre-game trouble, including a student threat to storm the gates of sold-out War Memorial Stadium. University of Arkansas stu dents who couldn’t get tickets to the game in the 41,000-seat sta dium planned to crash their way in just before the 7:30 p.m. kick off, it was learned last week. University officials hope they have quelled the threat of trou ble by moving the 100-piece Ar kansas band out of the stands onto the field and installing 350 temporary seats for students. Special tickets were sold this week on the Fayetteville campus and the potential gatecrashers are supposedly taken care of. The student newspaper had said earli er that 3,000 students couldn’t get tickets and students demand ing tickets picketed Gov. Orval E. Faubus and legislators when they visited the university last week. The game, billed for months as the showdown battle in the South west Conference, has been sold out since last summer. Actually it won’t be the showdown it was expected to be, since Arkansas already has lost one conference game. Unless the weather is bad, be tween 41,000 and 42,000 will see the game. That would be the big gest crowd to witness an athletic event in this state. Texas goes into the game with four straight victories and the No. 1 ranking. Arkansas is 2-2 and hasn’t shown the offensive skill of past seasons under Coach Frank Broyles because of a large number of young players and a number of injuries. The teams were more or less co-favorites in the Southwest Conference race until Baylor knocked off Arkansas 14-10 last week while Texas walloped top- rated Oklahoma 28-7. Ag Fish Overpower Texas Conqueror By MARVIN SCHULTZ Battalion Ass’t. Sports Editor A second quarter blitzkrieg sparked by the explosive running of Lloyd Curington shocked the Baylor Cubs into hibernation for the winter, 27-20 as the Fish won their first game of the year. Moving the ball in a precision like manner, the Aggie Fish pow ered over the Cubs for two scores in the second frame, taking a 14-0 lead which they would never relin quish. Ironically, both touchdown drives covered 28 yards with the first one taking four plays and the second one taking five carries. Curington engineered the first march to the goal line, skirting right end for 15 yards to the Bay lor 13. Three plays later and Joe Weiss lugged the ball over for the score. John Boss then kicked the extra point giving the Fish a 7-0 lead. Less than four minutes later the Fish again had possession on the Cub 28-yard line as a result of a recovered fumble by Steve Brin. Quarterback Harry Ledbetter scored on a keeper up the middle for the score. Boss boosted the lead by kicking the point, 14-0. Baylor scored with only 22 seconds remaining before halftime when Quarterback Terry Southall went over from the one. In the second half the Fish man aged 13 points to offset the two scores by Baylor. Worst went five yards for the third touchdown and halfback Dan Westerfield galloped around right end for the final marker, putting the game out of reach for the team that beat the Texas Shorthorns. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Beugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Farts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars” 1422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 Tired of "Dope" ?

Bob’s job is to maintain the standards of excellence in voice and data transmissions in Kansas. He must predict where trouble might occur so that preventive maintenance procedures can be set up to offset the problem. As a member of the Transmission and Protection Group, he studies the design and uses of communications equipment ranging from the telephone to complex microwave units. On earlier assignments Bob was an assistant engineer in inventory and costs, equipment engineering and special projects. After being named senior engineer, he was se lected to attend a 12-week comprehensive course at the Bell System’s Data Communication Training Program, Coopers- town, New York. Bob DuBois, like many young engineers, is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.
