THE BATTALION
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 27, 1945
Aggies Crush Bombers; Prepare For Tech Red Raiders
Alamo Field, San Antonio
To Be Scene of Night Game
Cadets In Top Condition for Clash;
Schlinkman to Star in Raider Attack
By Harold Borofsky
The Aggies journey this week to San Antonio for a night
game in Alamo Stadium with the Red Raiders of Texas
Tech. The Raiders have nine veterans and two freshmen on
their first eleven, and these boys sounded a warning note to
Conference teams when they handed Southwestern a 7-0
licking last week. Southwestern had previously tied Berg
strom Field, the team that gave T. U. such a battle last
week, by a score of 6-6.
Heading the Raider attack will
be Walter Schlinkman, veteran
back who received All-America
mention last year and who is in
fine shape for this season. Schlink
man is a smart quarterback, a hard
runner, and a fine passer and
thinks nothing at all of playing the
full sixty minutes. Both freshmen
on the Raider eleven are at the end
slots; R. V. Moyers, six-foot 190-
pound Lubbock star, arid Frank

Coach Dell Morgan has shifted
two of his 1944 veterans to new
posts. Jack Dillon, who lettered at
end, will be calling signals and
will be chief ball handler. Floyd
Lawhorn, rough 1944 center, will
open at guard. Other lettermen in
the starting lineup are Otis Tur
ner, center, Joe Snodgrass, tackle,
Cecil Norris and Arthur Shahan,
backs. Tech, though boasting a
powerful first-string, has a light
and inexperienced squad. Thirty-
eight of the 57 remaining after
reduction of aspirants are fresh
men, eleven have one year’s expe
rience, seven are juniors, and
Schlinkman is the only senior.
Meanwhile Head Coach Homer
Norton has been giving his charges
a tough workout all week, with
morning drills being held on Kyle
Field and night drills taking place
under the ai'cs of Broncho Stadium
in Bryan. The 54-0 'score racked
up by the Cadets against the El
lington Bombers last week looks
HIGGINS TRIES EXTRA POINT—Norton Higgins (86) Aggie end, tries the extra point after
touchdown in last Saturday’s game with Ellington Field. Lillard Hart (48) is holding, while Merle Bott-

good, but nine Kimbles recoverd
by the Bombers was a storm sig
nal to Norton, who remembers only
too well the part the fumbles
played in the mediocre showing of
a really powerful Aggie eleven last
fall. Had Ellington Field possessed
a team capable of taking advan
tage of the situation the outcome
of the game last week might have
been an entirely different story.
Texas Tech has such a team.

to the ball they displayed a flashy
attack and more than capable line

Working out twice daily this
week, the Aggies appear to be
ready to take the Texas Tech Red
Raiders to the cleaners this week

in the mornings on Kyle Field, and
at nights under the lights at the
Bryan high school stadium, all
seem to be in excellent shape. Par

Last week the Red Raiders got
by Southwestern University over
in Lubbock by a 7 to 0 count. The
Raiders really played themselves
a ball game, and showed much
speed and class in the win. Out
standing for the Raiders is Walter
Schlinkman, who is the Tech tri
ple threat man. Last year, Walter
was given honorable mention on
many All-American teams. With
him in the line-up, the game will
be a good one, and all who attend
will see a football game worth
travelling to see.
The man who picks a football
winner and keeps his mouth shut
about it is indeed a wise man, but
the fellow who predicts them and
has his predictions published is
something just a shade short of a
sucker. But every now and then,
someone has to stick out his neck,
and here goes this writer’s. This
is how it should look in next Sun
day’s papers:
TEXAS AGGIES-19, TEXAS
TECH-6. The Aggies have the
material and the will to win. Give
them two touchdowns at least.
TEXAS U>i25, SOUTHWEST-

beef in the line for the lightweight
Pirates.
OKLAHOMA A. & M.-20, ARK-

pany should have pork chops all
afternoon.
L.S.U.-21, RICE-6. Only one good

Cadets Run Wild, Defeat
Ellington Bombers 54-0
6,000 See Lopsided Game; Goode and
Smith Star for Ags; Fumbles Mar Plays
By Eddie Brandt
Last Saturday on*Kyle Field, the 1945 Texas Aggies
showed that they have the stuff to make a ball club. Led
by Bob Goode and Preston Smith, the Aggies romped over
the Ellington Field Bombers 54 to 0. Though the game was
of the warm-up caliber, the Aggies showed form in com
pleting 5 out of 9 passes thrown, and netting 310 yards gain
ed from scrimmage. On the defense, five of Ellington’s nine
passes were intercepted, and the Aggies held the Bombers
to no first downs. The chief fault seen in the team was the
fumbles that were made. A. & M. fumbled 10 times, and lost
the ball 9 of them. Only because of defensive strength did
the Aggies hold the Bombers scoreless.
Ellington Field won the opening
toss, and chose to receive in the
South end of the field. On second
down the Bombers kicked, only
to have the attempt blocked by
Monte Moncrief. Then on the third,
they successfully kicked to the
Aggie 20, where Preston Smith
took the bait. Smith started around
his own left side, handed the ball
off to Bob Goode, who reversed
the field and went all the way down
the right sideline to score after 2
minutes and 30 seconds of the
game. On the try for the extra
point, Higgins missed. The next
Aggie score came early in the sec
ond quarter when Smith went 17
yards around end practically un
touched. This time Higgins’ kick
was good.
The best run of the afternoon
was the 44-yard touchdown gallop
made by Smith in the third quar
ter just one minute and 50 seconds
after Ellington had kicked off. On
the kickoff, Smith took the ball
on his own 5 and returned to the
42-yard line. After Smith had pick
ed up 8 through center and Goode
had crashed left tackle for 6,
Smith took the ball on the Elling
ton 44, scooted through his hole
in the center of the line, cut sharp
ly to his right, and ran all the way
behind beautiful down-field block
ing by Moncrief and Dickey. Again
Higgins’ kick was good.
Ellington’s longest gain of the
