AGGIE AND SEWA-
NEE LINES ON PAR
COMING FIGHT
If Forgason Produces, the Farmers
May Have Slight Edge Over Tiger
' Guards and Center.
By JINX TUCKER
News-Tribune Sports Editor
Beginning today with the center of
the two lines, the individual strength
of the Sewanee and Texas A. and M.
football teams, which meet in annual
battle at Dallas Saturday, Oct. 11, will
be compared. The game which will be
the first outstanding contest of- the
year, the first big contest of the State
fair and the first intersectional tilt of
the season for this section, is attract
ing almost unparalleled interest and
the comparisons should prove quite
interesting to say the least.
When the Sewanee Tigers and the
Texas Aggies answer Referee Frank
Bridges’ shrill whistle signifying the
beginning of the second annual com
bat in the series of five arranged be
tween these teams in Dallas at the
Fair Park stadium, it is quite likely
that Beaton, Doc Beatty and Frog
Saunders will be found in the center
of the Tiger line. By the same token
it is quite probable that Honest John
Brazleton, Jim Forgason and Nor
man Dansby will be found in the cen
ter of the husky youngsters sporting
the maroon jersies of Aggieland. .
Of the Sewanee trio Beaton, a 20-
year-old youngster, weighing 195
pounds, measuring 5 feet, 10 inches
in height is the center. Speedy and
powerful Beaton is regarded as one
of the most promising linemen on the
Sewanee squad. He is a newcomer,
having starred on the Tiger freshman
team last fall. He will be opposed
Saturday by John Brazelton of Cor
sicana, Texas, the Aggie second-
string center of last year. In 1923
the Farmers had DuBois, Bradford,
and Eitt at the center post, all cap
able performers, but no stars. Braz
elton at that time just having grad
uated from the Fish squad, was not
used often. Bradford has finished
his athletic career at A. and M., while
both DuBois and Eitt with another
year before them, become ineligible,
leaving the burden to Brazelton.
The Corsicana product, however, is
getting away with the job in splen
did style. In fact he seems to be do
ing just a little bit better than any
pivot man Bible used last year. He
weighs well over 180 pounds and
should prove a match for Beaton.
In experience they are about equal,
and both are splendid passers. In re
serve strength at this position the
Tigers have the advantage. The Ag
gies have only Watts, a mediocre
performer at best, a product of Aus
tin high. Sewanee has Stancell and
Johnson, one weighing 170 pounds
the other 160.
Veterans at Guard Positions.
At the guard positions, both teams
have veterans. The Aggies will be
able to start two letter men in For-?
gason and Dansby. The Tigers will
be able to start two letter men in
Saunders and Beatty. The Sewanee
line was weak in comparison to the
Agie line last year. That fact which
was proven to the satisfaction of all
present cost the Tigers the ball game.
Coaches Moore and Bennett have
done much to strengthen the line this
year and as a result Frog Saunders
who last year held down the dual po
sition of fulback and punter, is this!
year the sensational right guard of
the team. He weighs 190 pounds, is
5 feet 11 inches tall, and for a big
man has worlds of speed. He should
more than match the prowess of Nor
man Dansby, a sturdy Aggie tackle
of last year, who is this season en
deavoring to fill Bull Johnson’s shoe^
at guard. Dansby weighs about 185
pounds, and is a fighter, with that
never-say-die football heart.
Beatty All-Southern Man.
Doc Beatty, who plays left guard
for the Tigers, is also a veteran, al
though only 20 years of age. He is
six feet tall, weighing 178 pounds.
He was selected by many critics
on the All-Southern team last year
and is rated as one of the greatest
defensive guards of the entire south.
P’orgason at his best, should have an
edge over this veteran due to his
poundage which is right around 200,
but Forgason as he has been in his
early games this year, may be out
played by Beatty. The Aggies have a;
splendid guard in reserve in Hardman
and there is a possibility that he will
start. Bones Irvin is also a capable
man. Both weigh about 180 pounds.
Poindexter, 24 years old, and six feet
tall is a substitute guard at Sewanee
while Toothacker, 19 years of age, 5
feet, 10 inches tall, and weighing 168
pounds is another. In reserve strength
at the guard positions, however, the
Farmers seem to have the edge.
Taking the six men, who are work
ing out at the guard and center posi
tions on each team as a whole, there
seems to be little to choose from the
dope at hand. If Forgason can re
gain his true form, then the Aggies
may have a slight advantage. If
Bible is forced to use Hardman due to
the failure of Forgason to “snap out
of it” as was the case last week, then
that advantage may be lost. A beau
tiful battle should be waged in the
center of the line between the expe-
rinced Tiger trio and the well
coached, experienced Aggie stars.
