Picking Aggies to Nudge Out Washington
State, 7-0, Today; Also Taking SMU and TU
The Texas Aggies end their regular season this afternoon
at Tacoma, Washington in a battle with the tough Washing
ton State Cougars. Coach Homer Norton’s gridsters are re
ported to be in top shape for the fray and are due to put up
a better exhibition than they did last week.
In other season ending games, the Texas Longhorns play
host to Coach Tex Oliver’s colorful Oregon eleven and S. M. U.
takes on the ever-improving Rice Institute Owls at Dallas.
Now as to our picks;
A. & M.-WASHINGTON STATE
. . . This one will be the toughest
tilt of the day. The Cougars are
now conceded by most Coast sports
writers to be the best team on
the Coast, and many regard to
day’s game as the “Little Rose
Bowl.” They have a heavy line,
a good running attack, and just
about the best passing attack in
the Pacific Conference. However,
their main weakness is pass de
fense, and unless it is revised, the
Aggies will complete many passes.
So- it’s the best team on the Coast
versus the champion of the South
west! We’ll take the Southwest
and the Aggies by a 7-0 count!
TEXAS-OREGON U. . . . The
Texas Longhorns are fresh from
their 23-0 triumph over the Texas
Aggies, and should be in the same
frame of mind for the Coast team.
This will be the last game for the
senior Bible eleven and they should
put up a grand performance be
fore the home folks. It’s TU by a
20-7 score.
RICE-S.M.U. . . . Here’s another
battle that has to be put in the
“tough” class. The Mustangs
have been somewhat of a disap
pointment in this season’s play,
having already lost four games,
and nothing would please them
more than to end their season
with a victory. Playing before a
home crowd, with Howard Maley,
sensational sophomore flinger, in
top shape, this corner gives S. M.
U. a 17-14 edge. Don’t underrate
the Owls either! They are plenty
tough and have been improving
with each game. However, we just
can’t get over, the fact that they
still have a weak pass defense.

Sibley and Ruby
Named on Frogs
All-Opponent Team
Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 5.—
Jack Wilson, star of the 1941
Baylor Bears, is the best football
player that T. C. U. faced all sea
son.
That is the opinion of those best
qualified to know, the Horned Frog
players themselves.
Eight of the 10 teams that the
Frogs played are represented on
the players’ all-opponent choice. In
cluded are two each from Baylor,
Rice and Texas A. & M.; and one
each from Fordham, Tulsa, S. M.
U., Indiana, and Texas.
With the exception of one man,
every Frog cast his vote for C.
H. Greene, Tulsa, and Martin Ruby,
A. & M., for the tackle posts.
Two Aggie players tied in the
naming of a captain for the elev
en—Bill Sibley, center, and Ruby.
The all-opponent team as named
by the T. C. U. players:
Ends—Jack Russell, Baylor;
Jim Lansing, Fordham.
Tackles—Martin Ruby, A. &
M.; C. G. Greene, Tulsa.
Guards—Art Goforth, Rice;
Ted Ramsey, S. M. U.
Center—Bill Sibley, A. & M.
Backs—Jack Wilson, Baylor;
Bill Hillenbrand, Indiana;
Pete Layden, Texas; Bob
Brumley, Rice.

date open. New rulings in speed-

Intramural Heroics and Hysterics
H Replacement Center is still
playing basketball, and if you don’t
believe me, ask their opponents.
They haven’t been beaten yet, and
their closest score was 17-7. Con
tinuing with the Replacement Cen
ters,, I RC is winning all their foot
ball games.
The perfect way to lose a game
by a small score instead of a large
score is to call the referee a few
choice names. I’ll explain.
A player was put out of the
game for hacking and on his way
out gave the “ref” a piece of his
mind. As the score of his team was
0 to the other team’s 13, the ref
eree by some calculation ruled that
the final score of the game was 1-
0. Moral: Just “cuss out” the ref
eree if you don’t want to lose by
an enormous score.
Dub Sibley, Aggie varsity cen
ter, had better watch out. Paul
Wolf, 119 pound center for C CW
S, played a whale of a game yes
terday. . . .Bernie Murray, who
weighs in at 135 soaking wet also
held down the guard slot very well.
. . . Plans are being made for an
open handball tournament.
Henderson, Jarrett Prominent Cogs of Cage
Team; Open Season Against Sam Houston Mon
The Texas Aggie basketball
team will open its season Mon
day night in DeWare Field House
against the Sam Houston Teachers.
The abilities of the Cadet cagers
are definitely unknown and there
will be a lot of new boys out for
the team this year, in addition to
having a new coach in Marty
Karow.
Henderson to be Missed
Captain Jitterbug Henderson will
QZ/enderson
be missing from the squad until aft
er the January 1 Cotton Bowl
game since he is a stellar end on
the Aggie football squad. Leonard
“Slats” Holder and Pete Slaugh
ter, who are first year candidates,
will also be kept back by the pig
skin sport. Henderson is likely
to be the key man of the Aggie
offense. He has ranked in the top
four high scorers for the past two
years and is an outstanding play
er.
Raymond Jarrett, junior college
transfer last year and letterman,
will be a mainstay in the lineup.
He has been in charge of the
team while Coach Karow has been
tied up with football. A squad-
man of last year, Raymond Klutz,
has been showing much promise.
Other lettermen back from last
year are Ralston Bayer, Fred
Nabors, and Charlie Stevenson.
Sure Starters
Henderson, Jarrett, and Klutz
are almost sure starters but there
will be a battle for the other two
places between Nabors, Under
wood, Bayers, Stevenson, Huffman,
Mike Cokinos, Pennington, Muller,
and a number of first year men.
Holder and Slaughter will fit in
somewhere along the line but un
til they get in some practice noth
ing can be decided about them.
As Henderson will be on his
way back from Tacoma, Washing
ton, when the season opens Mon
day night, he will miss this game
but will be on hand for games of
December 12-16-17-18-19 against
North Texas Teachers here, Phil
lips 66 and Texas Tech at Houston,
Louisiana State at Baton Rouge,
and Centenary at Shreveport on
those respective dates.
New Coach
Marty Karow replaces Hub Me
Quillan, cage coach since 1935,
who left A. & M. to coach at Texas
Christian. Even though this is
Karow’s first year in basketball
coaching, he is not new at the bus
iness, having handled the Univer
sity of Texas team and assisted
at the United States Naval Acad
emy.
When asked about the prospects
for a winner, Coach Karow answer
ed, “About all I can tell you is
that we are going to play 24 games
and hope to win our share, but be
yond that, anyone’s guess is as
good as mine. After I get in more
time with the team I may know
more about it, but right now—
you guess.”

Moser, Sewell Aerial Duel
Expected to Highlight Tilt
Weldon Maples in Place of Les Richardson
Only Change in Lineup; All in Top Shape
Those Fighting Texas Aggies will close their regular
grid schedule today when they meet the Washington State
College Cougars in the high school stadium in Tacoma,
Washington, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Coast time (4:00 p.m.
Central Standard time). This will be the Cadets last game
before the New Year’s Day classic in the Cotton Bowl at
Dallas against the Crimson Tide.
Many football observers believe that this intersectional
battle will develop into an aerial’
duel between Derace Moser ancf
Leo Daniels of the Aggies and Billy
Sewell and Jay Stoves of Washing
ton State. Sewell is the kingpin of
the WSC attack. The dope books
show that last season Sewell bet
tered Davy O’Brien’s great 1937
record in all but one department.
Stoves, a 200-pound junior, car
ries on for Sewell whenever the lat
ter is off the field and does a good
job, too. The No. 1 quarterback is
Bob Kennedy, a fast triple-threat-
er who can handle any job in the
backfield. The remainder of the
backfield is made up by Felix Flet
cher and Billy Holmes, right half-
backs, Fred Small, Kennedy’s un
derstudy at quarter; and Frank
Londos and Earl Brenneis at full
back.
The Cougar’s first string line is
Nick Susoeff and Dale Gentry,
ends; Joe Beckman and Jim Woody,
tackles; Bill Ward and Stan Doep- |
ke, guards. At the pivot post will
be Bill Remington who usually
plays the full game.
The -Aggies will be up to full
strength as very few players suf-

prime condition and Tom Pickett
will be back in the game in better
shape than he has been in several
weeks. The starting lineup will be
the same as it has been all year.
The only likely change will see
Weldon Maples playing in place
of injured Les Richardson. So, it’ll
be Derace Moser at the tailback,
Marshall Spivey at wingback and
calling signals, Willie Zapalac at
the blocking back post and Jake
Webster at fullback.
In the line it will be sterling and
