Coach McQuillen’s Cagers Face Giant Hog
Team in Fayetteville Friday and Saturday
Far up in the Ozark Mountains
go the Aggie cagers this week end
for dangerous play.
The two games will hex the only
two with the Razorbacks this sea
son. To see the Hogs play, we’ll
have to go to Houston next semes
ter when they tangle with the Rice
Owls. This game will probably be
for the definite league lead.
School Grid Game To Be Played Sunday Will
Be First Under Revised N.C.A.A. Rules
The charity football game to be
played on Kyle Field Sunday be
tween Coach Virgil Jones’ Maroons
and Coach Charlie DeWare’s Whites
will be! the world premier of the
revised football rules.
Deception and speed along with
the- old saying of “anything can
happen” will be the general gist
of the fray.
Plays will be run from punt for
mation, double wing and possibly
the “T” formation will slip in every
now and then.
From a quick glance at each
squad—the maroons are heavy and
will tend to use power for their
main offensive—the whites are a
bit lighter and will use fast break-

is always a pleasure to taste.
Refreshing, because it leaves
a delightful after-sense of re

Golden Gloves Boxing
Tournament Dropped
Due to circumstances beyond the
control of the College Station
committee, the Golden Gloves
tournament will not be held here
as previously announced.
All men who plan to enter the
National AAU tournament will

with the “Temple Daily Tele

held there on January 30, 31, and
February 1.
Coach Hub McQuillen and his
Aggie charges were still trying to
forget the nightmare they had in
Houston at the hands of the Rice
Owls and Frank Carswell as they
prepared for their two-game ser
ies with the tree-top Arkansas
Razorbacks.
The Aggies could well muddle
up the Conference race if they
take the Razorbacks in one or two
games. However, the boys from
the Ozarks will be staunch favor
ites to take their second series in
a row. They tumbled the Texas
Longhorns from the undefeated
ranks last week by taking both
games of a two game series.
Big guns for the Arkansas attack
this season have been Johnny Ad
ams and Howard “Red” Hickey, a
couple of lanky lads who have ac
counted for over half of the Razor-
back scores this season. In the Tex
as game, both accounted for a total
of 35 out of 44 points.
The squad of 12 players and
Coach McQuillen left here early
Wednesday afternoon and spent the
night in Dallas. They will leave
there early Thursday morning and
arrive in Arkansas during the
afternoon with a workout sched
uled after their arrival.
Those making the trip included
Capt. Bill Dawson, Bill Hendei’-
son, Charlie Stevenson, Ray Jar-
rett, Fred Nabors, Harold Duncan,
Jamie Wilson, Ray Klutz, R. B.
Bayer, Paul Pennington, R. C.
Adams, and Jimmy Crouch.

first in a series of articles on
students whose names are flash
ed on the sports page.)
One of the many reasons the
Texas Aggies were in the top
bracket of the nation for the past
two years may be found in two
words—“Charlie Henke.” Charlie,
who is from Kerrville, began his
football career in high school. At
Kerrville, he won three letters in
football, making all-district and be-
I ing nominated for All-State in
j 1936. Henke then came to A. & M.
j to begin his higher education, to
wit: Animal Husbandry. Charley
has been a rancher all his life and
likes all things concerned with cat
tle.
Back to his football career,
Henke lettered at tackle, play
ing as a reserve in 1938. He was
moved over to guard last year
where he was first string to win
his second letter. Teaming with
Robnett, he gave the Aggies the
best brace of guards in the confer
ence this past season. ‘*Mush-
mouth”, as he is known by his
team mates, is very much over
worked and sorely underrated. He
is the man in the center of that
powerful line who piles up the of
fensive blockers making it possible
for Robnett, Vaughn and others to
smear the opposing ball carriers
for losses. Charlie is large, weigh
ing 207 pounds, and topping the
big hole in the forward wall.
Henke was a starter in every
game, all 21 of them, and strange
to say, got knocked unconscious
in the very last one—the only time
he has ever been knocked out
^/enAe
while playing for the Aggies.
About his private life—Charlie
is a First Lieutenant in the R.O.
T.C. unit, being second in command
of “M” Company Infantry. He
likes the ranching business but will
choose a military career if offer
ed to him. According to the pres
ent world affairs, Charlie will
probably be with Uncle Sam.
By his own admission, he likes
all women and enjoys a good time.
“Mushmouth” is a bit partial to
brunettes though. Having the un
official title of “Cassanova” of
the football team, Henke really
gets around—ask any of his bud
dies, they’ll tell you.
Charlie is typically dressed in
the rig of a cowboy most of the
time you see him, (Tactical offi
cers please ignore) typifying his
love for all connected with ranch
ing. At present he is anxiously
waiting to get the boots and cow
boy hat promised all the football
team as favors of the Cotton
Bowl classic. Incidentally, he is
proudly showing off his new watch
—another favor the Cotton Bowl
officials.
Henke, whose genial smile has
won him many friends, is one of the
many well liked men on the cam
pus. His athletic hero is Joe Boyd,
All-America Aggie tackle last year,
who played next to him in the
line. Speaking of football hon
ors, Charlie made All-Conference
and honorable mention on Collier’s
All-American. He does not intend
to play professional football unless
he gets a very lucrative offer. His
attitude, typifying most all foot
ball players is that he is out for
an education, and not sports.
Good luck, Charlie.
Maroons Threat Whites
With Possible Rocking T
First Game Played
Under Revised Rules
By Dub Oxford
It’s going to be brawn against
speed on Kyle Field Sunday af
ternoon at 2:30—Coach Virgil Jones
Maroons fighting against Charley
DeWare’s Whites. Having com
pleted two hard scrimmages, both
teams are showing up very good
considering their experience.
The Maroons and Whites have
now been narrowed down to
playing size and are hard at work
studying plays in which to out
wit the other. More time could be
used for workouts as' the boys
playing are taking time out from
their studies to practice.
There will be lots of slam-bang
action in the game, and you might
see plays that would not happen in
two years of Conference play. “In
fact, you might see anything,” as
White Coach Charley DeWare puts
it.
The outstanding feature of the
game will be the use of the new
rules entirely. This game will
be the world premier of the new
rules, and the crowd will have an
inside look on how Conference
play will be run next year.
Coach “Dough” Rollins made*
the following statement, “I think
the outstanding feature of the
game is that it will be played un
der the new rules.”
To enable the fans to follow these
new rules, here is the main gist of
Artillery and came out on top by
a narrow one point margin. Final
score 2-1.
•them.
A man may be substituted as
many times as the coaches desire
to, and can talk to the players in
the huddle as soon as he gets in the
game.
On the fourth down, if a for
ward pass is thrown over the goal
line and is incomplete the oppos
ing team receives the ball where it
was put in play.
The ball may be handed forward
behind the line of scrimmage.
Possibly the most important rule
is the one concerning unlimited
substitutions.
