than ever before and picking a team
from the wealth of material on hand
will be a difficult job. The letter-
men will have a hard time holding
the places they earned last year
with such men as Christian, Magrill,
Abbey, Overton and Dawson, fight
ing for a place in the line and
Wolfe, Dansby, Clark, and Phillips
looking for a place in the backfield.
Coaches Bell, Reid and Holmes, all
new men, say that the field is wide
open and past records count for
nothing.
Competition Keen in Backfield.
In the backfield five lettermen will
return, Bible, Mills, Conover, Dor
sey, and Zarafonetis. At present Dor
sey is out with a broken thumb and
Zarry has just arrived. He is in
good shape and ready to bear down
with the others who have had one
weeks training on him. Coach Bell
has two real problems: he needs a
capable field general and a strong
line. Bible, Dorsey, Conover and
Dansby have been calling signals
lately and probably he will find his
man in this quartet. Bible and Dor
sey ran the team for the most part
last year; Captain Mills is getting
a shot at the position and may get
the job. For the other backfield
berths, Bell has Phillips, Woodman,
and Sessions from last year’s squad
and Clark, Davis, McFadden, Rees,
Sebesta, Snyder, and Wolfe from the
freshman and intramural teams.
with Alsabrook and Tracy and a
wealth of other material to choose
from. Besides these two veterans are
Varnell and Ewell. Both showed up
well in spring training and are ex
pected to make the two lettermen
hump for their jobs. Varnell was
a back on the ’27 and ’28 squads
and Ewell was a letterman at tackle.
O’Dowd, star intramural wing, is
showing up very well.
With Ewell on end, the Aggies
have no lettermen available at the
tackle positions, but Coach Bell is
expecting the husky sophomores to
come through. Dawson, 229-pound,
six-foot four tackle, Overton, Broiles,
Mouldq'n, Fischer, Mortellra, and
Thompson are all ready to step into
the position and a merry battle is
being waged.
The Aggies are better fortified at
the guard position with two letter-
men back and a wealth of material
that is nearly as good as the tackle
hopefuls. The two veterans back
are Van Zandt and Richter. The
others on which much depends on
how they come through are Jack
Christian, former All-State man,
Golasinski, Hedrich, Moore, Magrill,
Laboa, and Gusman.
In Joe Brown the Aggies have a
possible All-Conference selection, and
little is feared in this quarter with
such reserve strength as Abbey and
Anderson. Christian may also see
service at this position. Brown work
