Fortunately, for A&M, he was five yards or so into the endzone before he tossed the football . . . It wasn’t a good weekend for the Aggies at all.

Hous ton will be playing its first road game and its first game of the year outside .. . and it will be the final game of the A&M-Hous- ton seines which started back in 1952 . .. Plane Trip Began Woes Of Weekend Aggie troubles on the Texas Tech trip began long before Sat urday night's heartbreaker with the Red Raiders. The team left at 12:45 p.m. Friday from Easterwood Field, ready for an uneventful, 100- minute trip to Lubbock. But the chartered, four-engine Constellation had been airborne less than five minutes when the left outboard (number one) en gine developed propeller trouble and had to be feathered. Rasmussen, Lacky Win Tournament Richard Rasmussen amassed a 10-game handicap total of 2094 to win the upperclassmen divi sion of the annual school-wide bowling tournament while Glenn Lacky rolled a scratch 1780 to take freshmen division honors. Following Rasmussen in the upperclassmen division were Paul Nazid, 2081; Bob Howard, 2047, and Bob Spivey, 2020. Taking second in the freshmen competi tion was James Murphey, 1750, followed by Jim Howell, 1740, and Carl Mitchell, 1723. Single high game for the up perclassmen was a 235 rolled by Ray Raesner. Charles Suderman and John Greiner tied for top game in the fish division with 237’s. The captain came over the ra dio and advised the passengers there was no danger and that the plane could make the trip to Lub bock safely. However, the plane had only reached an altitude of about 4,- 000 feet and the remaining three sound engines would have to be strained to attain higher altitude, so the captain kept the ship at that low altitude. Consequently the plane lurched to and fro the entire trip, con tributing heavily to many upset stomachs. Aggie assistant Coach Lloyd Taylor was the first to become airsick and received some heavy ribbing from other coaches. The plane made it safely to Lubbock but had to be returned to Ardmore, Okla. to be fitted with a new engine, causing a two hour delay on the return trip ear ly Sunday morning. Chuck Taylor, an all America football guard for Stanford in 1942, now is the university’s athletic director. The first ace ever shot in the annual Palo Alto hole-in-one tournament came 18 years ago when a shot by Del Boccignone struck a backstop 30 feet be yond the pin and rebounded into the hole.
