About The Texas Aggie. (College Station, Tex.) 1921-current | View Entire Issue (Oct. 1, 1932)
The two outstan” 2 inesmen of the A. and M. footricul®” ad, Char- lie Malone and George Lord, have been lost to the team, the former for the season and the latter for an un- determined period. The blow was about as severe as any team could receive in the same week. Both suf- fered knee injuries, Malone in prac- tice while going thru some easy calisthenics, Lord in the Texas Tech ~ game. Their loss will lower the Far- mer stock and just about eliminate the Aggies from any consideration as title contenders. * kk The loss of such a pair of players from any team in the conference would just about eliminate that ele- ven. Imagine Texas University los- ing Koy and Cook, T. C. U. Pruitt and Vaught, and a better idea of the football calamity befalling A. and M. can be visioned. ek kX Don’t be fooled by the narrow margin of victory scored by the Ag- gies over Texas Tech in their open- ing game at Lubbock. A wet field hampered both elevens, but the Mat- adors brought out a real football team and were a tough assignment for an opening game away from home. And the Tech team was tough in more ways than one. * kK Side-line coaches are getting their dope together for the annual Aggie contest, with the games to be pick- ed in this issue of the AGGIE. Try your luck and you may be the win- ner of the cash prizes. % *k Xk Tulane at New Orleans, October first, comes on the Farmer schedule and the Green Wave is expected to again have a powerful eleven. The Aggies, though going into the game in a crippled condition, will have 7 thelr best chance in several years “ot ‘defeating these old rivals. A dry day, after playing the past three games in the rain at New Orleans, is the plea of the Farmers. * kk The players who will likely carry the brunt of the A. and M. foot- ball attack and defense this fall are being gradually determined by the Aggie coaches. Murray and Odell “and Conoley have the inside track at left end; Jordan and Smith at left tackle; Breedlove, Maxwell, Woodland and Russi at the guard positions and Nolan and Roach at center. Cummings and Nolan at right tackle and “Bear” Wright and Rob- ert Connelley at right end complete the present list. Several other lines- men, however, are showing rapid progress and may take a pace over those listed above. x xk % In the backfield will be Captain Aston, Spencer, Hewitt, Graves, Bar- field, Domingue and “Dub” Williams, all veterans, and the youngsters, Fowler, Kimbrough, Stringfellow, and Gregory. EE ‘When the double-header was matched on the same days with Texas Tech at Lubbock and South- western at College Station Matty Bell and his coaches counted some fifty men of their football squad. Nine were pronounced ineligible and four failed to return to school this fall. That left the Aggies in poor shape to play two games on the same afternoon. Southwestern, see- ing an opportunity to humble the Aggies “B” team, refused to change the date of the game. Joel Hunt was left to handle the “B” team and was given a squad of only 13 men. He recruited a pair of eligible company players for substitutes and his make-shift eleven played the Pir- ates on even terms for a 0 to 0 tie. k kk Heavy teams will be the rule in the conference this fall with T. C. U., S. M. U. and Texas leading the list. Their teams would be big in any conference in the country, a sit- uation that has not been the rule in the Southwest Conference. Rice, A. and M. and Baylor and Arkansas should be about the same weight. = Rice will have the fastest back- field in the conference and if the Owl line can get them in the open they should go places. The Owls are using a starting backfield combina- tion of the two Driscoll brothers, Kelly Scott and Thrasher, each of the four being close to a 10 second man in the hundred yard dash. * Xx % The appointment of Dean E. J. Kyle as chairman of the athletic council brings back to that post one who served in a similar capacity thru many of the lean years of athletic activities at A. and M. and in the Southwest. J. Barry Joyce ’17, is the new member of the Council. He is head of the department of Petroleum Production Engineering at A. & M. These three faculty members, C. A. Thanheiser ’00, of Houston; E. E. * Megnitesn 20, a student elected by the senior class and Matty Bell as head of the athletic department, com- # | plete the committee. * dk Xk Freshman prospects at A. and M. are as yet unknown. S. M. U. claims does T. C. U., and the roster of their yearling squads carry the names of many noted high school and prep school stars. * x % Seventeen members of this year’s Rice eleven came from Houston highy schools. Similar numbers of home boys can be found on the squads of Baylor, S. M. U,, T. C. U. and Tex- as. With only an occasional player from Bryan the Aggies are under no small handicap in this respect when the matter of athletic mater- ial is considered. k* kk “Stumble” Jordan, 235 pound soph- omore, is the biggest man to play regularly on an A. and M. team in many years. The big boy gave a good account of himself in the Tex- as Tech opening game and looks like a good bet for the left tackle .posi- tion. His substitute at the present time is “Dynamite” Smith, another 235 1b. sophomore, from Nederland. If they continue to improve they should make a great pair of tackles. po i p— iy R. E. Harris ’23, is superintendent of schools at Lytton Springs, Texas. He sends best wishes for a success- ful school year and a winning foot- ball team. %* kk W. H. Leverett ’27, has recently moved from Dallas to Overton, Tex- as, where his mail goes to P. O. Box 74. % kk : A. B.

He is traveling all over the Southwest for a group of Mutual Insurance companies and gets his mail at 1411 Kirby Building, Dallas. CI Rh R. J. Morris Jr. ’32, is with the State Highway Department but is moving about so much that he is still getting his mail at his home address, 1007 S. Windomere Street, Dallas. % % 3k W.

He reports visiting the Democratic Convention and running into Char- lie Waugh ’25. Tunstall says he would like to see any A. and M. men who might be passing thru or living in Chicago. EE Del S. Beeman ’'04, manages the large Dr. Webb interests at Fort Stockton, Texas. Included in these interests are a 5,000 acre irrigation project, large ranch, feed mill, ele- vator, etc. Beeman uses an airplane to cover his wide expanse of terri- tory and is an air enthusiast. % kx Xx C. V. Ellis ’31, who took his Mas- ter’'s Degree at A. and M. last year, is at present doing Mississippi flood control work with the U. S. Gov- ernment engineers and located at Box 205, Caruthersville, Mo. % kk C. P. Dodson ’11, Texas Power and Light Company manager at De- catur, says his son, Ralph, is mak- ing things hard on him. As a fresh- man last year Ralph was a ‘“Dis- tinguished Student” and compiled one of the best records among the freshmen engineers. k kk Edmund Taylor ’20, better known as “Red,” has recently moved to the U. S. Veterans Hospital, Legion, Texas, near Kerrville. He has been to have a great freshman team, as| ill in Pennsylvania. Drop in any pay him a visit. GRID PROSPECTS GLOOMY-MALONE OUT FOR SEASON Farmer football prespects took a decided fall when it was learned during the past week that Charlie Malone, outstanding end, was lost to the team for the season. The giant, all- conference wingman twist- ed his knee in practice recently "and had been under the care of a Hous- ton specialist. He was rated as the outsanding end of the Southwest and would have been well in the running for All-American honors this fall. His loss is as great a one as the Aggie team could sustain. Another hard blow came when George Lord, fast and powerful guard, was injured in the Tech game. He suffered a sprained knee and will be out for the greater part of the season. Other injuries were suffered by Domingue, Spencer and several other players. —y itil a —— George Bock of Dallas, W. P. Pat- ton of Lockhart and Gregg Taylor of Amarillo were among the A. and M. friends and classmates attending the funeral in Sherman of Robert L. Shivel ’28. * kk J. F. Ford ’26, assistant county agent at Amarillo, attended the Far- mers Short Course on crutches. He suffered a broken ankle while help- ing some ranchmen brand calves near Amarillo. He is able to get a- bout quite well with his “sticks” however, and reports his ankle as mending nicely. * ok ok John Frank Day ’30, has recently been made overseer at the Bonham Textile Mills, Bonham, Texas. * kX Dr. Hines Clark, ’95, is practicing medicine at Crowell, Texas.

His ad- dress is 4427 Rusk Street, Dallas, and he reports being happy with the prospects of seeing old friends and some conference football games. * Tk %k Recent reports on the condition of Jack Christian ’32, who suffered the loss of a hand in an accident in Aug- ust, are to the effect that he has done wonderfully well and that he will be at work this fall with his job with the Abilene High School. He will teach Physical Education and aid in the coaching of the Abilene high school. He lost his hand at the wrist when it was severed by an ice scoring machine at the plant where he was working during the summer. Reports state that he made a won- derfully brave recovery. He would doubtless enjoy a letter from his many A. and M. friends. It is not necessary to recall that he was a star football linesman as a student. * kx David Sherrill ’31, is living at San Saba, Texas, and gets his mail at Box 44. He is with the U. S.
