gies against about as hard a row
as they ever faced, particularly
in some games that normally would
be lightly regarded. They catch
a tarter in their opener against
Sam Houston, with Puny Wilson
bringing to Kyle Field a team
that will be as big as the Aggies,
primed as only an old fire-horse
like Puny can prime them, and well
coached. That’s on Sept. 27 and
freshing about the acceptance by
coaches, players, student body and
followers of the Texas University
Longhorns that the Steers are go-
ing to town this year, clean up
everything in the Southwest and
then move on to the Rose Bowl.
They are top-heavy favorites, they
admit it, and they say they are
on their way. S. M. U. and other
conference teams will have plenty
to say about the final outcome,
but it must be admitted that there
looms no team with the material,
in either numbers, ability or ex-
perience, that can match Texas.
After their long, long football
drouth the Steers may be ready.
They are confident they are ready,
and they may well be. In fact,
they have the material to be as
great a team as the Aggies of the
past two years, or the S. M. U.
Rose Bowl team or the great T. C.
U. team of 1938.
ONCE OVER LIGHTLY: First
members of this year’s team to
report last week for football prac-

Sterling, Seniors, who'll have a

carrying on a three year argument
as to which lived in the larger
home town, and which city had the
prettier girls. Moser is from

Dark Horse Cadet Grid Squad at Work
With ten days of hard work wi
der its belt the 1941 Aggie football
team is rounding into the shape it
will assume when it goes to the
Railbirds can
already outline what the team will
look
Wilson’s Sam Houston Bearcats in
year’s football war.
like when it meets Puny
the opening game at Kyle Field
Sept. 27.
Homer Norton and his assistants,
Marty Karow, Bill James and
Dough Rollins have been delight-
ed with the hustle of the squad
to date and with its fine physical
condition when the fifty man group
reported. There has been no lost
time with hard work the order
from the start and “Head-knock-
ing” getting under way the third
day. Aiding the fine spirit is the
knowledge that practically every
position is wide open and its every
man for himself with the best
getting the honor of a starting
place in the line-up.
Moser the Key
Most winning football teams
have one, sometimes, two, key
men, and for the Cadets Derace
Moser, Senior tail-back, looks like
the key this year. He’s looking
better than ever before, is the best
passer on the squad and its best
kicker as well. Most encouraging
is that he has picked up an elusive
style of running that will make him
double-dangerous in an open field.
Although only Moser and Jim
Sterling were starters last year
the squad will have few sopho-
mores in its regular line-up. The
new men are inexperienced but
many of them have a year on the
squad under their belts and will
not be quite so green as outright
sophs. Twelve men failed to re-
port, the best known being Bud
Force and Tommy Carlile, backs
and Dick DeArment, guard.
No Worry At Ends
Best fortified position on the
team is at end, where end coach
Dough Rollins has All-Conference
Jim Sterling, 190, Boots Simmons,
200, Harold Cowley, 180, and Bill
Henderson, 205, all letterman, to
shoot at opponents. They will play
most of the time with sophomores
Pete Slaughter, 180, Truman Cox,
180, and squadman Maurice Wil-
liams, 190, as reserves. The Aggies
should have the best end play in
derson as an ace in the hole on of-
fense. The big four letter boy 1s
the best pass-snatcher in the Unit-
ed States and as elusive a runner
as most tail-backs.
Martin Ruby, 210, and Euel Wes-
son, 230, are currently running
first string tackles, with Ruby
slated to be one of the best in the
Conference. Right behind them are
a pair of sophomores that bring a
gleam to the eyes of Line Coach
Bill James. Leonard Dickey, 210,
and Don Luethy, 200, are as fine a
pair of young tackles as will be
seen in some time. Both are big
enough, active, and unusually ag-
gressive. Bob Tulis, 220, and Jack
Swank, 210, from last fall's ineligi-
bles, sophomore Jim Montgomery,
205, and squadman Leonard Joeris,
240, will provide replacements. The
tackle posts should be manned
about as well as any conference
team.
Pressing On Uncle Bill
Football men declare Bill James
to be the best guard coach in the
United States, but he’ll have his
work cut out in tough fashion this
fall. Right now its hard to pick the
starting guards, with that position
in the Aggie team. Les Richardson,
200, Ray Mulhollan, 190, and Roy
Bucek, 205, are lettermen but with
little experience and looking none
too strong. Felix Bucek, 195,
Charles Miller, 190, and Zolus Mot-
ley, 200, are squadmen and Weldon
Maples, 195, and Wayne Cure, 200,
are up from the ineligible team.
There is enough size but putting it
to work smoothly is giving Coach
James plenty of worry.
Bill Sibley is the center and
his 185 pounds will be called upon
for plenty of play. If he’s durable
and uninjured the important snap-
per-back post will be fairly well
handled. If he’s injured the job
will fall to Leonard Holder, 170,
senior, Arthur Mercer, 180, Clifton
Warren, 185, sophomores, or Sam
Rankin, 200, squadman. The Cadets
are skating on very thin ice at
the position unless some of the
lads develop faster than they have
yet shown.
Backs Are Brighter
The backfield presents a bright-
er picture. Running in the start-
ing positions to date have been
and center looming as the weakest!
pthe league this fall, with Bill Hen-4Derace Moser, 185, tail-back, Senior
Marshall Spivey, 175, wing-back
and signal caller, Jake Webster,
junior letterman, 190, full-back,
and Willie Zapalac, 200, sopho-
more, blocking back. There’s power
and speed in that quartet, with
Moser and Webster both good
passers and kickers Available for
special duty will be veteran Earl
“Bama” Smith, 170 pound speed-
ster, who specializes in getting
special assignments handled at
critical times.
Backing up Spivey will be Cullen
Rogers, 185, and Tom Pickett, 180,
with a year’s experience on the
ineligible team. Assistance for
Zapalac and Webster, who will in-
terchange in their positions at
times, will come from Dennis And-
ricks, 210, and Dick Sharke, 195,
junior college stars from last fall’s
ineligible team, Red Roman, 190,
Hollis Ellis, 185, and Bill Andrews,
200, sophomores.
A pair of sophomore tail-backs
have given promise of both compe-
tition and assistance to key-man
Moser. Leo Daniels, 170, nice pass-
er and kicker and the best runner
on the squad, might blossom into
a real star. He’s the nearest thing
to another Joel Hunt that has been
around in several years and even
looks and handles himself like
that great star of a decade ago.
Bob Williams, 170, is another
youngster who has looked good.
One or both might prove a real
spark-plug and they are certain
to see lots of service. Backfield
coach Marty Karow is “High” on
both boys.
That’s the skeleton but what the
finished job will look like during
the fall remains to be seen. The
possibilities are there, making the
Aggies the leading dark-horse ew-
try in the conference race. There is
ample size and fairly capable re-
serves except at center. Passing
and kicking look allright and
Spivey should do a good job of
signal calling. The schedule fs
favorable, with Texas, Baylor and
S. M. U. coming to Kyle Field.
If a sharp passing attack can
be developed, along with a run-
ning attack that can go at the,
right time, the Cadets could be the
surprise of the fall. There’s no
lack of confidence among the boys,
and there’s everything to gain.
Bring on those BearCats for the
cpening game Sept. 27.
