By MICHAEL REYNOLDS Battalion Campus Editor What makes a football rivalry? What are the magic ingredients that set it off from just another game? The contests between Rice Uni- verstiy and the Texas Aggies reach the golden number 50 this Saturday, and this annual contest must be considered a rivalry. But what makes it so ? When one of the teams has been winning and comes into the game self-assured, there is an upset in the making. When lean grid years cross the campuses on the Brazos and Main Street in Houston there is but pride to be salvaged. The intellectual Owls hate to lose to the plowboys from A&M. The Aggies hate to lose to people who look down their noses at them. In short, feelings get hurt. Two years ago, the Aggies, resting in the bottom of the Southwest Conference cellar, looked like themselves when Rice ran the opening kickoff back 98 yards for a touchdown. However, that was the only score for the Owls that day and the Aggies finished strong to win, 13-6. Ten years ago, the Aggies came roaring into Rice Stadium wav ing their credentials as a confer ence power. Little Rice, which only posted a 2-7-1 record for the season, soon had the Aggies in the hole, 12-0. It took a 58 yard run by Loyd Taylor and an onside kick covered by Gene Stallings to enable the Aggies to come from behind in RE! r * [0 & INC. Lve. ... OR OFF THE FIELD The key word to Rice-A&M football has been Shenanigans. At top, Lloyd left. Above, Rice students try their best to look innocent when the long Taylor sets sail on the 58 yard run that began the world’s greatest come- arm of the law grabs them during 1963 misunderstanding, back in 1955. A&M won 20-12 after being down 12-0 with four minutes the last four minutes to win 20-12. The very next year, 1957, the Aggies showed up for the game with an impressive record and a ranking as the nation’s number one team. The only chance of losing that year appeared to be in the banking department, since it was rumored that Alabama would hire away Paul (Bear) Bryant after the season. But King Hill and the boys in blue left Old Sarge sitting in the middle of the field wondering how he could lost 7-6, yet lose he did. The student bodies of both schools have never failed to get in on the act, either. It all boils down to the fact that this is not a game to miss and hasn’t been for 50 years.
