J3 S< pa at re\ Fo 1 —- S Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 26, 1965 FROM THE ine5 By Larry R. Jerden Contrary to rumors some may have heard, the Aggies will play out the rest of their schedule! The A&M gridders, like their TU counterparts, are in a two- game losing streak. When the Aggies do something, they do it well, and Saturday’s loss was the best they’ve done at playing fold-up since the Florida fiacso of 1962 when they went down 42-6. It was their worst SWC defeat since TCU ran away with a 39-6 win in 1959. But all was not lost for the followers of the Maroon and White! Phil Scoggin continued his fine punting, averaging 46.3 for 11 punts, including four in a row over 50 yards. And the Aggie Band has yet to lose a halftime. The season must go on and the Aggies are now preparing to tour the “Land of Opportunity,” the state ruled by Orville E. Faubus, Frank Broyles and King Football. Things looked good for a while: there was a rumor that Harry Jones, the Hogs top ground gain er, wouldn’t be able to start again st the Cadets. Probably fear. Latest word is he will play. Oh well, you can’t have everything! Some team’s replacements are al most as good as their first string ers, anyway. football, A&M has fielded some good teams. The 1939-40 crews were two of the best, and they set the record for the longest win ning streak in the conference. It stands to this day. After 25 years. A quarter of a century. No one has ever won more than 19 games in a row in our con ference. Arkansas won num ber 18 Saturday night . . . and guess who will have to defend A&M’s record! Well, there's the challenge, folks. Make Something Happen. Going into Saturday’s game the Aggies boasted the top pass de fense in the SWC. That went out with the Baylor Bombers pro-type attack, but for those still inter ested in statistics Harry Led better is still number two in pass ing, and Dude McLean is third in receiving. For the faithful the Texas A&M Club of Arkansas will have a hospitality suite in the Hotel Lafayette at Sixth and Louisiana in Little Rock. It’ll be open Fri day evening after 6 and Satur day from 9-5. Little Rock is a great town, take it from this ex-Porker fan, and the Arkan sas people are friendly as can be . . . especailly to their victims. The Aggies have a way of play ing well against good teams, so maybe that was the trouble Sat urday. If this be the case, the Farmers should look great Sat urday night. The Aggies beat the Sips when they were number one, even with what’s his-name- coach ing, and besides, there is more at stake than just a ball game Saturday. There is one of the few Aggie records still in the books! The unfortunate incident in Kyle Field Saturday was the swan song for John West, Sports Editor of the Bryan Daily Eagle. He’s been with the Bird for five years and is now moving to A&M University Information. In the long history of SWC Leave it to John to find some winning Aggies. His first re lease at his new job tells of Billy Martindale, ’61, and Bobby Nic hols, ’59, coming in second and third in the Sahara Invitational Golf Tournament. Martindale picked up $12,000 and Nichols took home $7,500. J. Gordon Gay To Again Don Apron For Senior-Gridders’ Steak Fry J.

HONEYCUTT MILITARY SECTION EDITOR Bill Altman ’65 College Master Representative Fidelity Union Life 846-8228 honors the football players Tues day. For the past 15 years, Gay, who is the campus YMCA general secretary, has developed a “knack” for frying steaks. Aver aging approximately seventy- eight steak fries a year, the volun teer “chef” says he feeds more than 5,000 Aggies and their guests during this period. He has cook ed for as many as 400 persons at one time. Gay adds that he sometimes cooks at 28 steak fries in 20 days. Even the weather doesn’t great ly affect the steak fries. Tie re calls often frying a steak with one hand and holding an umbrel la with the other trying to keep the rain from ruining the meat and fire. Gay says that because the cookout area at Hensel Park is sandy, he can begin cooking the steaks 30 minutes after it has rained. It seems, though, that the weather is the least of his worries. Once, he recalls, after he had built the fires in the ovens, he returned to find some children had put the fires out. MinkcArt Supply 'PLatu/te. p/ta«MAt- 929 S* Co!

The Aggies’ passes didn’t hit, their tackles were only made after five yard gains, pass protection was nonexistant, and 99 yards total offense just isn’t enough to win a ball game. Especially when the opposition rolls up 476 yards, including 286 in the air by a third-string quarterback. AGGIE SURROUNDED BY BE ARS Halfback Jim Stabler heads for an unwelcomed reception as three Baylor Bears prepare to greet him after a short gain. Action took place during Baylor’s 31-0 rout of the Aggies Saturday. The deepest penetration the Aggies could muster was in the fourth quarter when they charged to the Baylor 19. The offensive weapon used in this drive was the habitual use of the red flag by officials that moved the Cadets 45 yards in five “plays.” What looked like an Aggie threat was squelched by the second most unbelievable play of the day. field a while before fumbling, the Aggies recovered, and then the ball went out of bounds, or something like that. Anyway, it was all topped off with a 15- yarder walked off in the direc tion of the Aggie goal, and that was it for the day. About the only play in Baylor’s game of catch that created any thing like excitement came in the closing minutes of the second quarter. Kenny Stockdale, the Bear pass- heaver, handed off to Richard De fee going to his left. Aggie Head Coach Gene Stallings began yelling “reverse” as hard as he could from the sidelines when he saw split end George Cheshire looping to his right. Sure enough, During all this backfieldac; Harlan Lane was casually 4 ing downfield. He suddenly t ed on the speed, met the lal the five yard line and trt; over to fashion a 17-0 Phil Scoggin was the ck thing the Aggies could » to an offense or a defense, put what pressure was pli on the Bears with 11 punts it 46.3 average, including Ion a row of 50 yards or more, haps this factor alone helped the score down to 31-0. it was a reverse. Harry Ledbetter threw the bomb, but it was intercepted. The alert Bear ran around the But simply a reverse, it wasn’t. Cheshire took only a few steps with the pigskin when he flipped it back to Stockdale who was fad ing back toward his own goal. For a team that wouldn'tl embarrased by anyone, tha! i| going to make something b;.: and produced statements like 1 Aggies Are Back” just a: weeks ago, the Cadets mall poor showing. They play Arlj sas next. That’s a lot of ( ing-back to do. Consolidated Blasted 61-27 By Hot Brenham Cubs By BOB JONES Consolidated’s improved passing A&M Consolidated’s Tigers look for their first District 10- AAA win this Friday when they host the Cypress-Fairbanks Bob cats as 7:30 p.m. on Tiger Field. Consolidated will spend this week regrouping its forces from the 61-27 walloping they received Friday from Brenham. Head Coach Edsel Jones and his troops never started moving in the Bren ham homecoming contest. Playing before a crowd of 3,- 000, Brenham chalked up 46 points in the first half while the Tigers mustered only seven points. Bren ham edged the score to 54-7 in the third quarter. The Tigers made a bid for the win in the fourth period hut found themselv es short of the necessary time. Fred Davis made his quarter- backing debut in the contest. The stocky junior commanded the Maroon and White from the tail- hack position as the Tigers tried to gain the lead employing a spread-passing shotgun offense. Davis hit half of his passes, con necting on 14 of 28 attempts. Cypress-Fairbanks will be meeting the Bengals on near equal terms Friday. Both teams lost their first two district games. The Bobcats fell to Conroe and Huntsville and the Tigers drop ped league games to Houston Furr and Brenham. Although Cypress holds the up per hand on experienced players with 15 returning lettermen from last season’s district title-holder. Chess Tournament Planned By MSC The MSC Chess Committee will hold its annual A&M Chess Championship Friday at 7:30 in rooms 2B and 2C of the Memorial Student Center. The tournament will follow the Swiss system consisting of three rounds, each with a time limit of 30 moves in 30 minutes. David Willis will be the direc tor of this years tourney. The tournament is open to all students of A&M and there will | he no entry fee charged. game poses a definite threat for the Bobcats. Men are scattered all over the field in the new Bengal offense with Davis taking the center at tailback. The score of the Bren ham contest failed to indicate the power of the new Tiger attack. The versatile Tigers now shift from their T-formation to the shotgun offense with the change of quarterbacks. Jimbo Robison, regular QB for Consolidated, di rects the Tiger running game from the T and Davis takes charge during the switch to the shotgun. After viewing the change I predict a 20-15 Tiger victory over Cy-Fair.
