THE BATTALION
Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 23, 1963
FROM THE
Sidelined
By JIM BUTLER
Pat Dial, business manager for the Athletic Department,
reported Monday that ticket sales for the Baylor game
Saturday afternoon are going about normal and the crowd
is expected to be somewhere around 25,000.
We can’t help but feel that these 25,000 are going to
get their money’s worth and another several thousand will
be missing a good chance to see one of the better football
games of the 1963 season.
Baylor has a 3-1 record and are undefeated in Southwest
Conference play having beaten Arkansas and Texas Tech.
The Baptists have perhaps the finest passer in college foot
ball and in SWC history—Don Trull.
Trull led the nation in pass completions last season
with 125 and set a SWC record. Thus far this season he
has thrown 114 times and hit on 70 for 893 yards.
Besides having a chance to see Trull in action, Bryan-
College Station area fans will get to see a much-improved
Aggie football squad against tough competition.
Trull was at the helm last year when A&M beat the
Bears 6-3 in Waco.
If only the anticipated 25,000 fans see the game, A&M
will have the lowest two-game attendance total in the con
ference—a distinction it doesn’t deserve.

Excerpts from A&M-TCU press box play-by-play:
“G. Thomas punt blocked and Ward picks up ball at
about 20 and goes in for touchdown. Ward carried it in.
Ward also blocked it. Ward is a hero.”
"Meeks, takes bad pitch from Keller, loses 16. Fumble,
stumble.”
"Hargett goes at left end, tight-ropes sideline for gain
of 31. Cool run by Hargett.”
"Crutcher bops gut. Gains 1.”
Spirit Up As Ford
Preps For Baylor
William J. (Budgie) Ford, who
shot to the front as an Aggie ball
carrier two weeks ago, was stop
ped cold by TCU, but it hasn’t
dampened his spirit nor his optim
ism.
“Our line did a good job again
st TCU,” says Budgie, a clear
eyed, intelligent youngster who
gives credit where it belongs. “Of
course, I think we’ve had good de
fensive play for the last two years
and from the looks of things now,
our offense is coming fast.”
Budgie, a 6-foot, 178-pound jun
ior, started his football under the
direction of his dad, Bill Ford,
who was high school coach at
Taylor. He was all-state two
years, all-America his senior year
and named the outstanding back
in the coaches all-star game. He
also won state honors in track.
The added weight didn’t slow
him against Houston two weeks
ago when he gained 97 yards.
“My blockers did the job,” he says.
“The line opened holes and full
back Jerry Rogers and halfback
Tommy Meeks cleared my path a
lot.”
Budgie isn’t included in the
A&M brochure this year. He
switched from pre-med to busi
ness as a major, came up with
some grade-point deficiencies and
had to go to summer school. He
came through with flying colors,
making an A and a B. “I still
want to go to medical school some
day,” he says. “But, I’m not in
terested in pro football at all.”
Ford, who is engaged in a hot
battle with Travis Reagan for the
No. 1 left half position, is the
Aggies second-leading rusher this
year with 104 yards on 24 runs,
a 4.3-yard average.

Blaik Predicts
System Change
To Two Platoon
NEW YORK — Col. Earl (Red)
Blaik, long-time Army coach, pre
dicts that colleges will return to
two-platoon football in 1964.
Writing in the current issue of
Look Magazine, Blaik declared:
rt When the rules committee of the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation) meets at Fort Lauder
dale, Fla., next January, they will
likely legislate for free substi
tution. This will open the way to
two platoons and the caliber and
tempo of play that the college
game deserves.”
Blaik noted that in the period
between 1949 and 1952 when col
leges played separate units for of
fense and defense, this two-pla-
toon football “proved to be the
most effective, most exciting and
safest football in the history of
the college game.”
Blaik characterized the present
substitution rule as “merely an
other in a series of complex, in
effectual, tedious compromises.”
In his Look article, Blaik based
his prediction about the return
of the free-substitution rule to
college football on three develop
ments:
1. A growing conviction a-
mong the members of the rules
committee that continued oppos
ition to the free-substitution
rule in the face of the strong
wishes of 75 percent of the
coaches would intensify discon
tent and antagonism, and almost
certainly hurt the game.
2. The request of the Ivy
League for a free-substitution
rule . . . The about-face of the
Ivy League will influence fa
culty people everywhere.
3. Increasing realization a-
mong coaches that they prob
ably can help their chances of
gaining free substitution with
the approval of professors by
also proposing safe-guards for
current ceilings on player re
cruitment. One of the principal,
and invalid, arguments of the
anti-platoon group is that the
two-platoon game requires more
players, more recruiting, more
coaches and inflated budgets.

These six men were members of a team that developed
an x-ray system so advanced that, even with exposure
to x-radiation reduced by 80%, images come out much
sharper on the diagnostician's viewing screen. By bring
ing to the task the unique talents, experience, and
educational background of each member, this team of
experts has made it possible for radiologists and phy
sicians to do a better job of medical diagnosis.
Of these six men from General Electric's X-Ray
Department, Milwaukee, four have degrees, in engi
neering, one majored in physics and math, and the
sixth in economics. Not one was trained primarily in
medical science—although, of course, their Depart
ment works closely with the medical profession. Nor
did any of them anticipate, when in college, that their
major subjects would be put to use in providing
improved tools for diagnostic medicine. But they did
recognize —as their record shows —that better-than-
average performance could qualify them for challeng
ing jobs with a forward-looking company like General

The more than 36,000 college graduates at General
Electric comprise one of the largest and most varied
pools of talent in the nation. But the Company's future
is, in many ways, wrapped up in people still in school
and college. As projects increase in size and com
plexity, so will the need for able young people. People
who demonstrate, through their college record, the
best use of their educational opportunities, who know
the meaning of excellence, who understand the dif
ferences between specialization and narrowness,
breadth and shallowness. Such people, working to
gether, will make up the teams of the future, and be
the architects of what we call progress.
There are hundreds of such teams at General Elec
tric today. Their make-up varies, and almost every field
of specialization, technical and non-technical, is rep
resented somewhere in the Company. The projects
are just as varied: nose cones for missiles, desaliniza-
