READ BATTALION CLASSIFIEDS
Princeton
Yale Meet
96th Time
NEW YORK LP) — It is 96
years ago since Princeton and
Rutgers invented what now is
known as American football.
The rivalry was intense then
and will be again Saturday when
these ancient foes meet. That's
about the only thing that remains
the same, everything else has
changed including the probable
winner.
Rutgers won that . first game
but this time Princeton is the
pick, perhaps by the same mar
gin as the Tigers’ 10-7 triumph
of a year ago. There’s added
interest this season because twin
brothers are the rival captains.
Paul Savidge is a guard and the
Princeton leader, Pete Savidge,
is a center and the Rutgers
captain.
Another pick for the coming
weekend:
Purdue over Notre Dame: The
Big Ten Boilermakers have
burst previous Notre Dame bub
bles and will do it again.

Lamkin Aspires
To Coaching Post
Six years ago, when he was a
freshman at Early High on the
outskirts of Brownwood, Tex.,
Ken Lamkin made two major
decisions.
He decided he wanted to be
come a coach and he fell in love
with Texas A&M.
It’ll be a couple of years or
more before he’ll begin a coach
ing career but it shouldn’t be
long before Aggie football fans
take Lamkin to their collective
hearts.
Lamkin is a square-jawed,
alert-eyed, crew-cut blond who
carries about 190 pounds on a
six-foot frame. And, he’s due
to be a starting defensive tackle
for the Aggies Saturday night
against Georgia Tech.
Ken decided he wanted to be
come a coach because “the hap
piest people seemed to be those
who worked with other people
like teachers and coaches. Foot
ball was my whole life so I

decided to become a coach.’’
An older brother had attended
A&M and two cousins had been
graduated from A&M but it was
the school itself that sold Ken.
“I visited the campus and saw
the Aggies play two football
games when I was a high school
freshman and I just fell in love
with Aggieland.”
Lamkin was a dandy high
school player who performed at
tackle, center, halfback, full
back and linebacker and when
he’d completed his eligibility at
Early High, a number of college
recruiters were waiting in the
wings to woo him.
“I visited Texas and Texas
Tech, in addition to A&M, but
the final choice was not a hard
one to make.”
Lamkin, who weighed about
190 in high school, too, tries to
play down his reputation as a
schoolboy standout. “I was 30
pounds heavier than anyone on
our team and bigger than most
of the opponents and I could run
over a lot of people. There
were some I couldn’t though.”
Did he ever consider trying
the backfield in college? “Oh,
no! I knew I was too slow.”
Ken was a center-linebacker
on the 1963 A&M freshman team
that had a 4-1 record and he was
a reserve linebacker for the var
sity last year. Last spring he
won a first-team offensive tac
kle post but this fall he was
moved to the defensive tackle
slot.
A 190-pound tackle isn’t large
by college standards. “We don’t
have a lot of size anywhere on
our team this year,” Ken ex
plains, “but quickness is more
important anyway and we’re gon
na be quicker this year.”
A junior this season, Ken will
have to wait a while before join
ing the “happy” lodge of coaches.
Until then he’ll concentrate on
being a quick, hard-nosed defen
sive tackle for the Aggies.

AP Lineman Pick
(JP) — Ernest Maggiore was
better than perfect against Tex
as A&M Saturday. As a result
the defensive end for Louisiana
State was named the Lineman of
the Week by The Associated
Press today.
The senior 22-year-old veteran
from Norco, La., helped the Ti
gers, seventh ranked in this
week’s Associated Press college
football poll, to a 10-0 victory by
blocking a Texas A&M punt and
falling on the ball in the end
zone for a touchdown.
Charlie McClendon, LSU
coach, praised Maggiore after
the game.
