f > Wayne Cure, Aggie Guard, Has Plenty Of Potentialities to Become Football Star I was glancing over the new football dope book put out by the A. & M. Publicity Department and one name above all seemed to im press me more than anything else. It was in the “Squadmen” section of the book that I happened to run across Wayne Cure’s name. Cure? Let’s see,” you’re probab ly saying to yourself,” “where have I heard that name before.” Oh! Yeah, now I remember, he played some football for the Tex as Aggies last year.” Yep, that’s right fans. Wayne Cure is the boy who was sub guard last year, but a boy who showed so many potentialities that coaches are expecting plenty from him this fall. Here’s what the dope book has to say about the 205-lb gridster: :Here is a boy that has the possibil ities of being a fine guard if he turns on the heat. He is rough and tough enough to give the starters plenty to worry about if he makes up his mind to go after it.” Notice the few “ifs” inserted in the statement. Those ard the hur dles Wayne will have to overcome if he becomes the star he should be. Last fall and spring, time and again, fans and railbirds alike, would remark what possibilities Cure really had. And, at times, during spring training, he would accomodate the fans with a glit tering performance, but then fall Crosby-Square Barracks Browns Honestly those famed- for-fit Crosby Squares make an Infantryman feel like he’s in the air corps.

CLOCKIERS College and Bryan off and get a bit far behind. I’ll say this for Wayne. He is rough, tough as they and has plen ty of stamina. If he would only apply himself to the job of play ing football, there is no doubt in my mind or any of the coaches’ mind that there would be a great football star. Cure has all the makings of a great guard-—he is big, fast and sure-footed, and should he ever de cide that he has possibilities of 'becoming that great guard, then watch his fire. He is sure to see plenty of service this fall, but should he put his mind up to it, don’t be surprised to see the name “Cure” in the starting lineup come September 26! Sports Squibs From Here Arid There; Green Makes Good Showing at NatT Meet . . . the Aggies are known for their football all over the coun try, but it’s been a long time since swimming at A. & M. hit a nation-wide streak. . . However it seems that it has since diminutive Danny Green, Cadet freshman, took off third-place honors in the mile and the 880-yard events in recent National swimming meet held at New London, Connecticut. Danny’s showing in the latter event was especially remarkable since the two winners, Bill Smith and Leo Nakama, broke the world’s record in annexing the honors. . . In the mile, Danny was swimming second for 26 of the 28 lengths be fore he was finally edged out. . . Not bad at all for a college fresh man. . .
