Eikenberg Makes Rice TooHot For Aggies To HandleBAIXENTINE’S TOE GIVES FARMERS EARLY LEAD BUT RICE COMES BACK

A strong Rice eleven turned the Aggies back 27-10 af­ter trailing 10-0 in the first part, of the second period. The Aggies wasted no time in drawing the first blood, as John Ballentine kicked his 20 yard field goal wdth only four min­utes of the first period gone. The play was set up when Stanley Hollmig kicked out of bounds on the Rice 44, and then Keeney only got a 33 yard punt for the feathered flock. Baty then connected with one of his passes to Howell on the Rice 23, Welch picked up 4 at cen- + ter, and then Ballentine put in oneof his very short appearances. Score 3-0.

The second Farmer score came in the opening seconds of the sec­ond period after the Aggies had recovered a Rice fumble on the 46 yard line. Baty again took to the air, and his aim was true, as he completed four out of six to place the ball within inches of the Rice goal line from which Ed Dusek carried it and John Ballentine kick­ed his 12 straight point after touch­down to bring the score to 10-0 favor the Farmers.

The Owls bounced right back af­ter the Aggie score and scored their first touchdown with only 6 minutes of the second period gone. The Rice score was set up by three successive losses by Babe Hall­mark and a fifteen yard holding penalty put the ball on the Far­mer five with it fourth down and forty to go for a first. Stanley Hollmig then came into the game to give one of his kicking demon­strations, and he got the kick off, but it was against the wind and it only traveled to the 39 yard line, and Eikenberg and Anderson uni­ted on a pass with Anderson re­ceiving over the goal line for the score on the first play of the series of downs. The second Rice score was almost as fast as the first with Eikenberg this time toss­ing to Keeney for the talley. The score came right after the kick­off when an Aggie fumbled on the Aggie 17. Rice then drew a fif­teen yard holding penalty, but Ei-

The Aggie “B” team hit their stride Friday night in Houston to avenge themselves of the 13-6 de­feat given them earlier in the sea­son by the Rice Blue Bolts by han­ding the Owlets a 20 to 0 shellack­ing.

Coach Charlie DeWare’s squadplayed the brand of football that is only done in theory with every man clicking on nearly every play. Big Bill Andrews established him­self as one of the outstanding line­men along with O. L. Pollock, Gar­rett Gnly, Cush Denton and Nor­man'Brown. End Ed Sturken also did commemendable work on both offensive and defensive.

Earl Beesley sparked the back- field from quarterback position and Jim Boswell made high man in ball carrying with a net gain of 49 yards in eight trys. Bobby Dew, Charlie Boyles and Bill Powers fol­lowed in that order.

The Ags started their offensive from the kick-off when Rice fum­bled on their own 20 and Bill An­drews recovered for the Cadets. Here the Bees made their first threat but lost the ball on the 12. Rice kicked to the Aggie 42 where Boswell received and ran back to Rice 40. Two passes from Beesley to Boswell netted 12 yds. and then Boswell netted 12 yards and then Dew ran the ball up to the Rice 3 yard line in four trys. A hand- off from Beesley to Boswell was good for one yard and Dew car­ried around right end for the in­itial TD. Mabes’s kick was good making the score 7-0 in favor of the Aggies in the opening min­utes of the game.

In the second quarter the Owl­ets were repeatedly set back to their own goal line by the power­ful drives of Bill Powers, 170 pound halfback from Bryan. Gar­rett Guly set up the next Aggie TD when he intercepted a pass on the Rice 22 and went over for score number two of the game. Mabe again kicked the extra point giving the Ags a 14 point Jead.

Rice halfback Braden 1) r o k e loose once but was stopped just short of a first down by center John Knight. On their next try they went over for a first, their only one of the game. The end of the first half found the score 14-0 with the Blue Bolts never getting past their own 39 yard line.

At the beginning of the second alf the Bees were again threat- ning the Rice goal when a fumble

the 10 was recovered by Hart, hard tackle by Andrews set the

'all back to the 4 but the Owlets ooted out to the 50. The Ags

again started their drive and Beesley and Frey picked up a first down. A pass from Beesley to Pollock then hit pay dirt from the 22 yard line. Mabe’s kick was wide and the Bees surged ahead six points.

The fourth quarter was un­eventful except for a hard tackle by Schmidt that set Reinengei back 8 yards to the Rice 20. Don took a quick qick on the 49 and eluded three tacklers for a six yard gain.

In the last half the Owlets got only up to their own 41 yard line md presented no scoreing threats The Bees carried the ball 75 times

INTRAMURALS By

Cliff Ackerman

Now that the Upperclassmen have started playing flag football maybe we should review the game a little.

The first thing to remember is that in flag football the play is for the flag, not the man., Some of the most common faults

is charging by the ball carrier, blocking, tackling or holding the ball carrier by the defensive play­er.

Charging in flag football is generally the same as in basket­ball. The ball carrier may not run over a defensive player, but must make an attempt to get or go around him. Any deliberate at­tempt of the ball carrier to charge is classed as unnecessary rough­ness. The defensive player must play the flag. Tackling, blocking the ball carrier out of bounds, or deliberately running into the ball carrier to knock him down is class­ed as unnecessary roughness. It should be remembered that in flag football the play is for the flag, not the man.

These are difficult fouls to call in close line play and the Intra­mural Managers are calling the plays as they see them and to the best of their ability.BASKETBALL

On the Intramural sports cal­endar for this fall semester the basketball leagues have been the hardest fought and the leaders haven’t had it easy. There are still five undefeated teams; “A” Coast, “E” Field, Dorm No. 16, Puryear, and “A” Infantry.

The Aggies lost their second conference game of the season Sat­urday when they bowed to the Rice Owls by the score of 27-10, but it was in no way humiliating to be bested by the aggregation that Rice fielded Saturday afternoon. The Owls bounced back after a more or less fluke loss of the pre­ceding week to the “co-champions” from Arkansas to hand the Aggies one of their hardest losses of the season. The great Rice eleven bounded back after the Farmers had taken and early ten point lead to score four touchdowns more than any other Aggie opponent to date.

The Aggies played one of their best games of the season but there was just too much Rice on the menu. One of the bigger head­aches of the day for the Farmers was the Rice Quarterback, as he tossed the passes for three of the four Rice tallies. Keeney alsogave the Farmers trouble, and Weldon Humble, the Rice guard was always getting in the way of the Aggie ball carriers.

For the Aggies it was all Baty, and it looked like his passes were going to give the Aggies another SWC victory. Baty tossed for the setup of John Ballentine’s field goal, and - then later set up the lone Aggie touchdown with his tal­ented arm, but the Farmers could not hold this lead against the pow­erful Owl aggregation.

The conference came out of its scramble this week as Arkansas

cinched at least a tie for the crown when the Razorbacks would up their conference schedule by turn­ing back the Mustangs. Texas was eliminated; it the biggest up­set of the week when Dutch Mey­er’s Frogs turned back the big shots from TU 14-0. This left the conference in only a two way tie, and it is likely that Arkansas will be the home team in the Cotton Bowl game New Year’s day as they handed Rice an upset defeat last week-end. This leaves only the Owls and the Razorbacks in the running for the crown, and Rice still has two more conference games and the Razorbacks are through for the ’46 season.

The Thanksgiving game at Aus­tin will have no bearing on the conference standing, but if you don’t believe that the interest is still high try to purchase a ticket for this game. They are still scarce as hen’s teeth, apd higher than a cat’s back.
