Manning Smith Gives Aggies Stern Warning
About Tech Raiders; Callahan Is Sparkplug
Manning Smith, Aggie backfield
coach who scouted Texas Tech in
their game last week brings home
a stern warning -that all will not
be cream and honey for the. Cadets
in their clash with the Red Raiders
Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field.
“Just because Tech is a smaller
school than A.&M. is no reason at
all that they should not win foot
ball games even against bigger
schools,” Smith said. The fact of
the matter is, Tech will beat A.&M.
if the Aggies play the kind of ball
they did last week against L.S.U.”
This corner certainly is not one
to take Manning’s warning unheed
ed by any means. I remember that,
just a few days before the L.S.U.
game, Smith gave Coach Norton
and the Aggies as good a detailed
outline of the Tiger team as could
have been given. He warned the
Cadets to be on the lookout for
such backs as Alvin Dark, Sulcer
Harris and Jeff Burkett and those
three were the same lads that ran
our boys ragged.
But back to Texas Tech. Here
is a speedy, well-coached and vet
eran team, which, although light,
has enough scoring punch to beat
many teams. Hard-hitting J. R.
Callahan, a triple-threater ace and
a fullback on the team, spearheads
the Raider attack, and the way the
185-pound gridster totted the mail
against West Texas Teachers last
week, he is certain to be a definite
threat against the Aggies.
“Callahan is as good a back as
we have in the conference,” Scout
Smith commented, “and if we are
not careful he is just the kind of
boy to break loose for long gains.”
Although their line averages be
tween 185-190 pounds, Tech has
some exceptional linemen that
charge as hard as any other team.
Captain Will Allbright and Doyle
Carraway give the Raiders two
of the best guards in their league.
The former weighs 185 pounds but
makes up his lack of weight in
speed and more speed while the
latter, a 190-pound gridster is the
bulk of a sturdy Tech forward
wall.
Flushed with great material from
one end to the other and possess
ing a galaxy of speed and flashy
backfield stars, Tech will field a
team that is sure to be ready for
the Aggies. Nothing would .please
Dell Morgan more than a victory
for his team over the Cadets for
it would bring the Raiders a step
closer in their bid for a place in
the Southwest Conference.
I’ll say this. The Aggies will
win Saturday because I believe
they’ll play the ball they’re really
capable of playing, but like Mike
Smith puts it, “it won’t be all
cream and honey.” Tech is tough,
plenty tough and one wrong slip
by Coach Norton’s eleven and the
score may be much different than
anyone of us expects.

great at that slot. . .Although he
does have to learn the offensive

enough promise at blocking and
tackling that Norton is consider
ing to leave him as a fixture there.
“Don’t misunderstand me,” Norton
said, “Sturcken has great pros

would even use Leo Daniels at
tackle if it would solve our prob

spirit is still quite in existence
was demonstrated Monday morn

surprise when the cadet corps,

“It’s support like this that pro

said. . . Baylor plays the Oklahoma

Ag Blocking Shows Marked Improvement
Gridsters Full Of
Determination In
Prep for Tech Tilt
With only two days remaining
until their game with the power
ful Red Raiders of Texas Tech, the
Texas Aggie footballers are work
ing overtime in an effort to prevent
a repetition of last week’s disas
trous result. Prospects look a lit
tle brighter than they did the
early part of the week, but the
Aggies still have plenty of work
ahead of them.
The greatest amount of stress in
the practice sessions has been laid
on offensive blocking, for it was m
this department that the Aggies
were so teribly weak on last week.
Also receiving of plenty of atten
tion was the tackling, as missed
tackles were very much in evidence
in the L.S.U. contest.
Main problem of the coaching
staff, however, still remains the
tackle situation. The tackle slot is
still tlje question mark of the Ag
gie Ime, and unless this weax
spot can be plugged, the Aggies are
in for a rough time of it. The
shift of Ed Sturcken is expected to
greatly improve the situation, and
Saturday’s contest should be a
tremendous improvement over the
L.S.U. game.
Several of the Aggie players
came out of the L.S.U. game with
injuries, but all are improving, and
should be in shape by game time
Saturday. Jake Webster, Boots
Simmons, Jim Montgomery, A. J.
Mercer and Ed Ogdee have all
been nursing injuries this week,
but most of them are rounding
into shape nicely.
Another bright spot in the tack
le situation is the return of Ben
Stout to the lineup. Ben has been
out with a bad knee, but is ex
pected to be back in shape and
ready to go by Saturday.
Tuesday’s practice session was
spent in a long drill on pass and
punt blocking, with offensive pass
patterns also being heavily stress
ed. The Aggies are pitching into
their workouts with a grim de
termination, for the memory of
last week’s defeat is still fresh in
their minds, and they intend to
prove once and for all that it nev
er should have happened.

Class B sports are
Basketball, Touch

turned to the In
tramural office
Mik. Mann b y Tuesday, Oc
tober 6, in order to make an out
fit eligible to play in the particu
lar sport.
Spike White, Intramural Direct
or, has indicated that some of the
games will be scheduled at 5:15
p. m. and urges each manager to
clearly indicate the days on which
his organization will not be able
tor play at that hour. It is import
ant that recreational officers show
this on their entry cards since the
Intramural department will not be
able to grant postponements be
cause of class schedules. An extra
amount of time is being allowed
for the officers to determine the
availability of their men.
Freshmen, frogs, and others tak
ing Intramurals for P. E. credit
must be registered for P. E. 102,
section 508, in order to receive
credit for their participation. Men
who have not registered in the cor
rect manner should do so at once
through their respective deans.
Meetings on football and basket
ball rules are being held every
afternoon at 6 this week for the
men who are going to refree these
events. Intramural Departmental
managers are also invited to these,
meetings.
There will be a meeting of all
Recreational Officers at 6 p. m.,
Tuesday, October 6, in the Civil
Engineering Lecture room. All of*-
ficers are urged to attend as several
important matters will be discus
sed.
A tobbacco plant that grows to

with the Ellington Field Flyers
and the Waco Flying School these
plans are still indefinite.
Among the freshman squad are
31 men who have won all-district
honors in high school and seven of
this number have been awarded
places on an all state-team. The
strongest spot on the fish team
is the tackle position—the squad
boasts 10 tackles who tip the scales
at over 200 pounds. This fact is
heartening to Varsity Coach Ho
mer Norton whose squad lacks
m£n at that position; the fish team
of this year assuring a number
of tackles for next year’s varsity.
Probably the best-known among
the fish team are Marion Flana
gan, halfback from Sweetwater;
Gus White, star backfield man
from Lamesa; Dutch Neumann,
Kilgore Junior College star; and
Bernard Ott, lineman on last year’s
all-state Catholic team. The team
manager, Stanley “Bing” Turner,
made the all-district team in high
school. Turner prefers baseball,
however, and is concentrating on
that sport. White will be remem
bered as the young polo star from
Lamesa who already has a three-
goal rating the national standings.
An old name is brought back
to Aggieland in the person of
Milton Routt, the young brother
of Chip and Joe. The latter of the
two older brothers was all-Amer
ican guard for two years in suc
cession. Another of the family af
fairs is found in Jack Rollins,
whose father earned an Aggie foot
ball letter in 1906 and who has a
number of relatives who have made
football history at .Aggieland.
Coach Dimmitt is assisted by
Bill Buchanan, Euel “Poppa” Wes
son, and Charlie Stevenson. Buc
hanan and Wesson are two for
mer Aggie football greats; the
former is coaching end positions
while Wesson is handling linemen.
