poll.
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.

FROM THE
'Sidelined
By Larry R. 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.

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.
