V. ■»««»». ■t .A. i4m*4ii ■>. ■ The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas H JIMMY WRIGHT Jimmy is a senior signal-caller from deep, deep in the heart of : A T exas. Edinburg claims this blond-haired hard-throwing quar terback as its very own. Wright, 6-0 and 175, is one of the leading passers on the squad. Personally engineered the downfall of the Rice Owls in 1955 as a sopho more. CARLOS ESQUIVEL Carlos, a running mate of Jim my Wright in his high school days in Edinburg is one of the best safety men the Cadets pos sess. He’s followed Crow and Os borne in the left half slot, but always performs creditably when the chips are down and he is needed. He averages 11.6 yards per punt return.

JOHN GILBERT The biggest question at the start of the season was center, but John Gilbert, senior center from the hills of Russellville, Ark. filled the bill for Bryant. He’s not too big; only 6-1 and 200 pounds, but learned the intrica cies of being a linebacker very well. Has lots of spirit. DARRELL BROWN Darrell, or “Brownie” as he is called, returned to play for the Aggies this year after a one- year battle with the books.

One of the original “Junction Babies.” Wednesday, November 27, 1957 PAGE 5 Turkey Day Winner On Kyle Field May Be ’58 Colton Bowl Performer the Associated press You might say tomorrow’s football game between Texas and Texas A&M has that holiday flavor. What happens in College Station on Thanksgiving Day 1957 is going to have a lot to do with who plays in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day 1958. The Aggie-Longhorn clash heads a list of eight major traditional games scheduled from New England to the Rocky | Mountains, and is one of two on which bowl bids hinge. The Texas-Texas A&M game will be televised by NBC in the South, Southwest and Midwest, and a portion of it, probably the last half, in the East. Eastern viewers first will see the traditional Brown-Colgate game from Provi- 4- dence, R. I. The Far West TV game is Wyoming at Denver. Other Turkey Day games are Cornell at Penn, Richmond at William and Mary, Miami (Ohio) at Cincinnati and Utah State at Utah. Houston Cougars List Three Aggies Auburn, the No. 1 team in the nation, placed four players on an all-opponents football team selec ted by the University of Houston Cougars. The first team also included three players from Texas A&M. Oklahoma State, Miami, Missis sippi and Baylor had one each. John Crow, Texas A&M half back, was the only unanimous choice. Jimmy Phillips, Auburn end, missed unanimous selection by one vote. Others on the first team includ ed Jim Wood, Oklahoma State, end; Charles Krueger, Texas A&M, and Charles Diamond, Miami, tackles; Jackie Simpson, Missis sippi, and Clyde Letbetter, Baylor guards; Jackie Burkett, Auburn, center; Roddy Osborne, Texas A&M, quarterback; Bobby Hoppe, Auburn, halfback, and Billy At kins, Auburn, fullback. Aggies Loosen 11|> McClelland Has Flu Texas A&M held a loosening workout for less than an hour yes terday. The squad worked in sweat clothes. A shorter practice of the same variety is planned today on the eve of the Aggies’ big football game with Texas. Reserve end Don McClelland was out with the flu. Other players were Reported in good condition. A few weeks ago it looked ; if the Texas-Texas A&M game would be just for the record, but when Rice upset the Aggies two Saturdays ago, the conference race was thrown into the usual South west turmoil. If Texas should beat A&M it might win the conference cham pionship and pick up an auto matic ticket to the Cotton Bowl. If A&M wins it can either tie for or win the loop title. In any event, the winner of the game can figure on going to the Sugar Bowl, even if it doesn’t win the Southwest crown. All this hedging is the result of a game scheduled Saturday at Houston. Rice plays Baylor in that one, and a victory would give Rice the Southwest championship if A&M loses to Texas. If A&M wins, Rice could tie for the title. Win or tie for the crown, Rice gets the Cotton berth because it defeated the Aggies 7-6 during the regular season. If Texas beais A&M, and then Rice loses, Texds picks up all the marbles in the Southwest, and the Sugar Bo\Vl boys will have to take one of the losers or look elsewhere.
