THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 6, 1945 THE BATTALION Page 3 Bill James and Marty Karow Round Out Coaching Staff; Moncrief and Dickey Report The past week was crowded with football news at the camp of the Texas Aggies and most of it was registered on the good side of the ledger. Both the coaching staff and the squad .were rounded out and there is feverish activity on Kyle Field in preparation for the first game, with Elling ton Field here two weeks and two days hence. Bill James, head line coach, re ported in Saturday after spending the summer at his boy’s camp and ranch near Hunt. Lt. Marty Karow, head backfield coach and head baseball coach from 1938 until he entered the Navy shortly after Pearl Harbor, wired from the Naval Air Station at Monterrey, Calif., that his dis charge procedure was getting un derway and he will be at College Station next Monday. Monte Moncrief, star right tackle the past two seasons, re turned Tuesday from Chicago where for the second season he was on the all-star squad in its game with the champions of the professional ranks. Moncrief says his right leg, broken in a motor cycle crash last January, has heal ed sufficiently that he can play a lot of football this fall. After reporting for a couple of days, Leonard Dickey went home for a visit but came back Tues day and is hard at work getting in shape for the season’s grind. Dickey was a star tackle on the Aggie Fish team of 1940, lettered at tackle on the veteran champion ship team of 1941, then went into the Army from which he has re cently been discharged. R. Holloway Hughes has been added to the athletic department as assistant to the athletic direc- EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING Holick’s Boot Shop tor. He will work with athletes in maintaining their athletic eligibil ity, and will be contact man for the department with clubs of for mer A. & M. students over the state. Hughes was recent dis charged from the Air Corps as a captain after four and a half years service. He is an A. & M. graduate of 1937 and was graduate assistant in genetics before entering the Army. He is a son of W. L. Hughes who recently relinquished the headship of the Department of Education under the College’s mod ified service plan. The last two football players the Aggies were expecting also re ported Tuesday. These were Dan Foldberg, brother of Hank Fold- berg, now at West Point, who played end and tackle for the Ag gie Fish in 1941 and on the varsity the next year, and Jim Kirkland, both ends last year on Dallas’ Sunset high school. Coach Norton has picked his first four teams on the basis of performance to date, but cautions everyone who sees his list that these line-ups will shift from day to day. The first team has two Fresh men, eight lettermen from 1944, and one letterman, Dickey, from 1941. Yeargain and Higgins are on the ends; Dickey and Moncrief at tackles; Darnell and Gray, guards, and Ellis at center. In the backfield, Tom Daniel is signal caller, Goode at left half, Butch- ofsky, right half, and Smith, full back. Goode and Smith are the new comers in this line-up. Other left ends across the board are Geer, White, and Looney; left tackles, Winkler, Payne, Gill- liam and McDonough; left guards, McKenna, Guy Daniel and Schmidt; centers, Yoeman, Knight and Guly; right guards, W. Hart, Abra ham and Pate; right tackles, Buck, Millican, Denton and Broyles; right Oy traditionally the dawning of a new autumn season, the time for the harvesting of the good things of our earth.

League B Football Tie Will Be Played Off; Winner to Meet Third Company Intramural football staggered into its final phases this week, as team captains conferred with the Physical Education department to plan a playoff to solve the three- way tie in League B.
