The undefeated Spartans sup planted the Razorbacks by the narrowest of margins — seven points, less than the total of one first-place vote. Arkansas, 55-20 winner over North Texas State, even out- scored Michigan State in first- place votes, 23 to 19, but fell off in the second and third positions. Ten points are given for a first-place nomination, nine for second and on down the line. Michigan State drew 473 points from the panel of 51 sports writ ers and broadcasters while Ar kansas, which went to the top last week for the first time in history, collected 466. Nebraska, like the Spartans and Razorbacks unbeaten and un tied in six games, held to its No. 3 place with 424 points, in cluding nine first-place votes. Notre Dame, on the basis of its impressive 28-7 rout of Southern California on national television, surged from seventh to fourth, followed by Louisiana State, No. 5; Purdue, No. 6; Florida, No. 7; Southern Cali fornia, No. 8; Texas, No. 9, and Alabama, No. 10. Alabama, the defending na tional champion, replaced Geor gia, which lost to Kentucky 28- -0. All other teams in the Top Ten are returnees, although shaken up in position.

Jerden The Aggies’ football reputa tion took a slight dip Tuesday when the AP and UPI polls were released. While its a great honor and challenge to play the number one team, there seems to be a little less glamour associated with playing the number 2 (AP) or number 3 (UPI) squad. Anyway, the Razorbacks are no longer number one. But this is not half the injustice as that skinny cow in the number nine spot. That the T-sips should even be in the top ten is ridicul ous! First the Hogs knocked them out of number one, then un ranked Rice sapped whatever air was left in the TU balloon of glory the very next week! Why should Alabama, 4-1-1, be ranked behind a team that’s lost two in a row? And Slippery Rock is still undefeated! What’s done is done, and there is little time to weep over the shellacking the Aggies received from Baylor. The contest in Little Rock should be enough di version for any team trying to forget the past. And there will be a contest! Not just a going- through - the - motion - because - we - have - to sort of game. No Sir! The Aggies intend to give those overstuffed pigs something to think about. As Gene Stallings has pointed out, our folks are little and slow. And as revealed in his weekly press conference Tuesday, the whole squad is mighty banged up. So they’ll be a little bit slower. But morale is high, the team is eager, and it looks like rebound time is here. They’re isn’t much you can say when your team has been down and about to play a power like Arkansas. But what could be said, Stallings said it. “I think we can contain them, and we can move the ball against them,” he declared. Now, if one team on the field can contain the other’s offense, and can consistently move the ball, then sooner or later that movement is going to cross the opponent’s goal line. And the containment should prohibit the rival from crossing your’s. So, we should win. Stallings didn’t elaborate on how he intended to stop the Hogs offense, or what new prin ciples were to be applied to move against their offense, but he did say, “We’ve got plans.” When asked about injuries, Stallings asked if his feelings would count. He went on to say that Jack Pyburn is out for the season, but that Dan Wester- field might be hack, starting on defense. Stallings has used the spy- in-the-sky TV outfit for the last two games, and admits there must be some advantage to the equip ment. “Yes, TV’s got its advantages, I just don’t know what they are yet,” quipped the Aggie mentor. Sipping on a Coke, he explained, “When that ball is snapped, I just gotta watch the field. I can’t watch that TV.” Just for the record the Aggies haven’t outscored the. Hogs since 1957, the year before Frank Broy les took over. That year the Ags took a squeaker 7-6 in Fayette ville to spoil the Arkansas home coming. Norton, Bell, Malian, Davis, Hooper Ejected To Athletic Hall Of Fame The coach of the 1939 National Champions football team; a half back star of the 1910-14 era; a great fullback and 1920 Olympic team member; and two other two- sport Aggie “greats” comprise the five Aggie immortals of the past who will be inducted into the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame at the annual banquet here the eve of the Thanksgiving Day game with the University of Texas. Homer Hill Norton, late of College Station, is the coach; Ty ree L. Bell, Dallas, is the half back; the late Jack Mahan, Gates- ville, is the fullback-Olympian; Walt “Buddy” Davis, Nederland, Olympic high jump record break er and basketball center; and Dar- row Hooper, Dallas, Olympic shot putter and football kicking spe cialist, are the men selected by Aggie lettermen to be so honored. Norton served as head coach and athletic director from 1934 through 1947 to establish a ten ure record. In his time the Ag gies won the Number 1 title in 1939 and took the Southwest Conference crown in 1939 tied with SMU in 1940 and won it again in 1941. In 1939-40 they set a record of 19 consecutive vic tories which still stands although now threatened by Arkansas. Bell was an outstanding back in the days of Uncle Charley Moran and the only Aggie ever twice elected captain. He made All-Southern in 1912 and All- TIAA in 1912 and 1914. Mahan was a crashing full back in the D. X. Bible days 1917-20. In his three years of play only seven points were scor ed against his teams but that seven came in a 3-7 loss to Texas and cost A&M the title in 1920. He made the Olympic team as a javelin thrower and finished fifth. Davis won the 1952 Olympic gold metal with a record 6 feet, 8% inch high jump and added a world mark with a leap of 6 feet, 11% inches. In basketball he was an All-Conference center and won District 6 NCAA All-Ameri ca Honors. Hooper finished second to Perry Brien in the 1952 Olympic shot put losing by % inch. He held the SWC records in both shot and discus for three years. In foot ball he was the conversion and field goal specialist. THE BATTALION Wednesday, October 27, 1965 College Station, Texas Page 5 Read Battalion Classifieds QnC*qnts {By the author of “Rally Round the Flag, Boys!”, “Dohie GiUis” etc.) with, WaxShuJman TWELVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING Today I begin my twelfth year of writing this column in your campus newspaper. These dozen years have passed like a dozen minutes. In fact, I would not believe so much time has gone by except that I have my wife nearby as a handy reference. When I started this column, she was a mere slip of a girl—supple as a willow bough and fair as the morn. Today she is gnarled, lumpy, and given to biting the postman. Still, I count my self lucky. Most of my friends who were married at the same time have wives who chase cars all day. I myself have never had this trouble, and I attribute my good fortune to the fact that I have never struck my wife with my hand. I have always used a folded newspaper, even during the prolonged newspaper strike of 1961 in New York. During this journal less period I had the airmail edition of the Manchester Guard ian flown in daily from England. I must admit, however, that it was not entirely satisfactory. The airmail edition of the Guardian is printed on paper so light and flimsy that it makes very little impression when one smacks one’s wife. Mine, in fact, thought it was some kind of game and tore several pairs of my trousers. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, I have been writ ing this column. That is a fact, and here is another: I shave every morning with Personna Stainless Steel Blades. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna and they are inclined to brood if I omit to mention their products. Not, let me hasten to state, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna—as you will agree once you try this sharpest, smoothest-shaving, longest-lasting blade ever devised by the makers of Personna Blades—now available both in Double Edge and Injector style. Personna, always the most rewarding of blades, today offers even an extra re ward—a chance to grab yourself a fistful of $100 bills from a $100,000 bowl! The Personna Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running, and you’re all eligible to enter. Visit your friendly Personna dealer soon to pick up an entry blank (void where prohibited by law). And, by the way, while you’re at your friendly Personna dealers, why don’t you ask for a can of Burma Shave? It comes in Regular or Menthol; it soaks rings around any other lather, and it’s made by the makers of Personna. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, this column has been discussing, forthrightly and fearlessly, such burning campus questions as “Should students be allowed to attend first-hour classes in pajamas?” and “Should deans be re tired at age 25?” and “Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom?”. Today, continuing the tradition, we take up the thorniest academic problem of all: the high cost of tuition. Let me tell you how one student, Lintel Sigafoos by name, solved this problem. Lintel, while still a boy in Straitened Circumstances, Idaho, had his heart set on college, but, alas, he couldn’t afford the tuition. He applied for a Regents Scholarship but, alas, his reading speed was not very rapid—only two words an hour—and before he finished even the first page of his exam, the Regents had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Lintel then applied for an athletic scholar ship, but he had, alas, only a single athletic skill—balancing an ice cream cone on his chin—and this, alas, aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches. And then he found the answer: he would get a student loan! Of course, he would have to pay it back after gradua tion, but clever Lintel solved that, too: he kept changing his major, never accumulating enough credits to graduate until he was 65 years old. Then he repaid the loan out of his Social Security. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. # # # © 1965, Max Shulman The makers of Personna® Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave® are happy to bring you another season of Max Shut- man’s uncensored, uninhibited, and unpredictable column.
