Walemon Price has been offered
the head coaching job at his old
home town of Newcastle, but
hasn’t decided whether to take it
or not. He has asked for a little
time to think the offer over.
Bill Conatser visited on the Bay
lor campus the other day. He is
quoted, by the Bayor newspaper
as saying, “We lost some linemen
who will be hard to replace, but
we should have another fair coun
try ball club. We aren’t predict
ing another title, but we will be
gunning for it.”
Reports from Austin say that
Jack Crain is getting larger. If
he keeps on he will be large enough
to feel when you get him in your
hands. Wonder if he is another
Ernie Lain in the making?

Spring Training Lineups
And Teams Are Announced
Next week the Aggie spring
gridders will get down to work aft
er spending the first week in whip
ping themselves back in shape.
Wednesday afternoon the teams
will play their first intra-squad
game and Coach Norton says that
everyone is welcome to come out
and watch.
Despite the fact that veterans
are back in nearly all the positions,.
Coach Norton insisted at the be
ginning of workouts that “all jobs
are still open.”
Much of the competition is ex
pected at one tackle and one end.
due to the loss of Joe Boyd and
Herb Smith. Right now it seems
that Chip Routt has the inside
track for Boyd’s tackle berth. Chip
was Joe’s understudy for the past
two seasons.
James Sterling moved over to
Herb Smith’s old post and Jack
Kimbrough has moved into Ster
ling’s position. When basketball
season is over Bill Buchanan and
“Big Dog” Dawson may have
something to say about those wing
jobs.
Following is the way the teams
stack up:
GREEN BAY PACKERS
Ends, Sterling, Jack Kimbrough;
tackles, Pannell, Routt, Irwin;
guards, M. Robnett, Henke, Thomp-
out at work now and three others
will join the ranks when basketball
season is over. Derace Moser is
another who is not out, but is
on the ailing list. He is at home
now, but will be back tomorrow
and will start working out for
track in a few days. An operation
can’t keep a good man down long.
The spring training bunch is
split up into four teams, baring
the names of pro elevens. The
first team is called the Green Bay
Packers, the second the New York
Giants, the third the Washington
Redskins, and the fourth the
Chicago Bears.
The Green Bay team has Ster
ling and Jack Kimbrough at ends
Pannell and Routt at tackles
Marshall Robnett and Henke at
guards, Vaughn at center, Kim
brough, Thomason, Conatser and
Pugh in the backfield.

The Texas Aggies lost a furious
37-25 ball-game here last night
before a capacity roaring crowd.
A. & M. opened the scoring with
Woody Varner, Aggie captain and
held this lead for only twenty sec
onds when Briggs of Arkansas
knotted the count and then Freid-
berger with another bucket started
the lanky Arkansas boys on their
way.
The score at half time was 18
to 13 in favor of Arkansas. Dur
ing the second half A. & M. played
inspired ball to the yells of the
cadet corps. During the last ten
minutes A. & M. tried to take the
ball from Arkansas with little suc
cess.
Tommy Tinker, Aggie ace, played
inspired basketball for the A. &
M. team.
Highpoint man for the evening
was Gammill of Arkansas with a
total on nine points, John Freid-
berger of Arkansas was next with
eight points. Henderson and Daw
son of A. & M., tied for third
place during the game and first
place for the Aggies scoring 7
points each.
A. & M. meets the Arkansas
boys again tonight at 7:30.
