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.

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: BOB DuBOIS
Bob DuBois (B.S.E.E., B.S.B.A., 1957), Senior Engineer,
Transmissions Group for Southwestern Bell in Topeka,
Kansas, is part troubleshooter and part prophet.
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.
