records in the nation, Coach Norton
has indicated only one probable
change. Les Richardson, regular
guard, suffered a bad ankle in
scrimmage, and is expected to be
replaced by Weldon Maples in the
starting lineup. The only other
possible change may be at tackle
where Leonard Dickey, brilliant
sophomore tackle may start in the
place of Euel Wesson. The rest of
the lineup will include Henderson
and Sterling at ends, Roy Bucek
at the other guard post, Martin
Ruby at tackle, and Dub Sibley at
center. Along with Moser in the
backfield will be Marshall Spivey
at the wingback spot, Willie Zap-
alac at blocking back, and Jake
Webster at fullback.
Meanwhile, the Texas Long
horns, already hopelessly out of
the conference race, will attempt
to regain the prestige which they
lost to T. C. U. and Baylor. Picked
by 99 experts out of 100 to finish
no lower than first, the Steers
went into this unforgettable Nov
ember month with six consecutive
victories by overwhelming scores,
but alas and alack, the Bears of
Baylor and the Horned Frogs of
T. C. U. pulled the almost unbe
lievable by tieing and trouncing
the heretofore invincible Steers.
Such is the case of the valiant
Steer who went into this eleventh
month of the year with the word
“Rose Bowl” spread all over his
forehead.
Casting all wins and losses aside,
Coach Dana X. Bible and his grid-
sters, too, have been laboring over
time to be in top shape for today’s
fray. A win by the Steers would
surely regain all their lost pres
tige and it is certain that the Long
horns will throw everything they
have into the battle with the Ag
gies.
Layden and Crain
Leading the Steer attack will be
Pete Layden, phenomenal triple-
threater, and Jack Crain, swivel
hipped halfback and ace field gen
eral. Layden is clearly remembered
by Aggie patrons for his great
work in stopping the powerful and
oiled Cadet machine last year. It
was his pass to Noble Doss on the
1 foot line which finally culminated
in the winning touchdown. He is
reported to be in top shape after
being out at least half of the sea
son with a chipped elbow and bad
ankle.
The other half of the Texas
touchdown twins is Crain, leading
scorer and only second to the Ag
gies’ own Jake Webster in extra
point kicking. Crain is primarly
known for his quick breakaways
which have gone anywhere from
55-80 yards. In ’39 and ’40 the
Aggies stopped the “Nocona Nug
get” cold, but it is a decided ques
tion this year. He suffered a slight
ankle injury in the T. C. U. game
and may not be in top shape.
Should he not start, however, Spec
Sanders will be inserted in his
slot. Noble Doss and Vernon Mar
tin are the other backs in the quar
tet.
-SENIOR PLAYERS-
(Continued from Page 1)
nate luck of playing behind All-
Conference End Jim Sterling. This
fact has kept Harold from getting
in as much time as his ability earns
him but he did earn a letter in
1940. Cowley is strong on defense
and has a reputation of rushing
into the opposing backfield to mud
dle up the passer. He lettered in
football, basketball and track at
Freer High School. At A. & M.
he won freshman numerals in foot
ball and track and since then has
devoted all of his time to foot-
ball.
Derace Moser, of Stephenville,
Texas, is one of two 1940 starters
left over but was shifted from
wingback to tailback where he
has been the main passer and punt
er for the Aggies. Moser is lead
ing the conference as a passer
and is high up in the list of
ground gainers. His punting aver
age is also among the best. In
short, Mose is Aggieland’s triple
threat man. He won freshman
numerals in football, basketball,
and track and has won two letters
in football and one in track in
varsity play.
Martin Ruby, of Waco, Texas, is
one of the starting Aggie tackles
this year, after having understudied
Chip Routt for two years. He
played enough to earn two varsity
letters. Ruby is as outstanding
tackle in the conference and is one
reason why A. & M. has the best
tackle play in the Southwest.
Earl “Bama” Smith, of Frisco
City, Alabama, is one of the two
out-of-state boys on the squad. He
is renowned for his execution of
the hideout play. In the 1941 Cot
ton Bowl game against Fordham he
took a long pass and ran 62 yards
for a touchdown. His most famed
hideout took place two years ago
today against the Longhorns when
he took a pass and set up the
first touchdown of the day against
the Steers. Bama has earned one
football letter and two track let
ters.
Marshall Spivey of Lufkin, Tex
as, is the first string wingback and
signal caller of the 1941 Aggies.
Playing behind Bill Conatser and
Moser for two years, he did not see
much service but is one of the stars
of this year’s team. Spivey is a bril
liant field general and has shown
his skill in this season’s Cadet vic
tories. He won a freshman football
numeral and has two varsity letters
in football and one in track.
James Sterling of Panhandle,
Texas, is the other remaining start'
er of the 1940 team and is the only
All-Southwest Conference man left
on the squad. Jim has also re-

ceived considerable All-American
mention. He is the youngest man
among the seniors and played on
the 1939 National Champion Aggie
team when he was only 17 years
of age. Sterling, the best among
the Aggie ends, is fast, a good pass
receiver, and an excellent pass de
fense man. He has earned letters
twice in football at A. & M.
Euel “Poppa” Wesson of Temple,
Texas, is the other starting tackle
on the Aggie squad and spent two
years understudying All-Confer
ence Ernie Pannell. Poppa is one
of the largest men on the squad
and has won two varsity foot
ball letters besides his freshman
numeral.
Zolas Motley of Abilene, Texas,
is another Aggie who was stym
ied by the excellent guards A. & M.
had when he entered school. With
Marshall Robnett and Charles
Henke playing almost 60 minutes of
every game it was difficult for
anyone else to get any lettering
time. He earned a freshman num
eral and has turned in much bril
liant play this year.
Maurice “Cotton” Williams of
Marlin, Texas, has been a squad-

getting in more playing time this
year. There are four lettermen ends
ahead of him but he has broken

transferred to A. & M. from Texas
Military College and hence was in
eligible for a freshman numeral.
These ten men were thought to
be the only seniors to be lost to the
Aggies but in a late check-up yes-
terady it was discovered that an
other player had been overlook
ed through some oversight.
Lester Richardson of Houston,
Texas, is another of the long list
of Aggies who were held back
by stellar players just ahead of
them. He is a scrappy guard and
can play a good game. Les play
