if Bernie Moore has a good seas

Let Davis In
NEW YORK, Sept. 24—(AP)—
After seeing how the Yankees and
the Dodgers backed into the pen
nants, it seems they ought to play
the World Series on Ray Dumont’s
plan for running the bases back
wards. .. When the Army football
team staged a secret practice last
Friday, a guy in civilian clothes
kept trying to get into the stadium
and the MP’s kept tossing him out.
The guy finally got a message
through to publicitpr Joe Cahill,
who came down and told the
guardians of the portals that is
was okay for Glenn Davis to see
what was going on. . . Penn State,
which Cold-shouldered a proposal
to play Notre Dame in a charity
football game this week, will be
back on the Penn schedule next
season after a long lapse.

Coach Charlie DeWare states
that there may be several changes
in the lineup before game time
however as there are some posi
tions not definitely settled yet.
Jn the crucial quarterback slot
Is Blayton Taylor, a 190 pound
Freshman from Hondo, Texas, and
on his shoulders will rest the re
sponsibility of running the team.
Doyle Moore from Austin and Dor
bant Barton who hails from Fort
Stockton are the speedsters, and
Gene Salmon of Del Rio will be
called upon to furnish the power.
The line positions will be filled
by a very capable looking crew.
At the ends are two men from
Waco, Cedric Copeland and Paul
Muri'ay. Dick Obregon from Thom-
id on the other side of the line
right guard is another Pasade-
t man, Mickey Spencer. The
vot man is Bob Bates who is from
verside High School of Fort
orth.
The Freshman team began prac
tice on the 15th of Sept, 'witn 11
ends, 10 tackles, 13 guards, 9 cen
ters, and 32 backs. This group has
been divided into two groups of
about 35 men each with one squad
under Coach DeWare and Line
Coach Wayne Cure and the other
squad under the direction of As
sistant Coaches Tom Pickett and
Jelly Steymann. The coaches will
select the Fish squad from these
two groups by the 1st of October.
An interesting sidelight on the
game Friday is that the North
Texas coach, Klepto Holmes is an
ex-Aggie and was an all confer
ence guard on the Aggie team of
1927. Football fans will remember
the strong NTAC team that came
to Kyle Field in 1943 loaded with
service talent and gunning for the
Aggies. The “Kiddie Korps” of
that year held the North Texas
Aggies to a 0-0 tie in a rugged
battle that see-sawed up and down
the field the entire period.

for the only run of the game—the
sixth of the final playoff series.
Epps had doubled into the crowd

Black and Blue No More
Marty Broussard Patches Up,
Puts Together Aggie Athletes
The most important man in pre
paring a football team for a game
is the coach, but after a trip
through DeWare Field House one
is prone to disagree with this old
adage. Marty Broussard, recently
acquired Aggie trainer, is the rea
son for this contradiction. From
7:30 in the morning until at late
at 8:30 at night Marty may be
found in the training room in De-
Ware Field House going about his
chores of taping football players’
limbs, applying medicine to cuts
and bruises, rubbing out the kinks
and the sore spots, and any other
kind of doctoring that may be
needed.
Broussard came to Aggieland for
the first time op September 1 of
this year and he immediately
pitched in and started to work
taking care of football players
and he hasn’t had a dull moment
since. Broussard was head trainer
at the University of Florida during
the 1946 season and before that
he was at his alma mater, Louis
iana State. Broussai’d graduated
from L. S. U. in 1942 with a B.
S. in Physical Education and im
mediately took over the head
trainers job for the Tigers.

Dodgers Take NL Pennant for 1947;
Series With Yanks Underway Tuesday
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Brooklyn Dodgers, only team ever to win a pennant
at midnight, awoke Tuesday as official National League
champions of 1947, and in the words of President Branch
Rickey they’ll be champions “for many years to come.”
Not many of the Brooks were
aware of the good news until to
day. Only those few who had stay
ed over at Brooklyn pitcher Hugh
Casey’s restaurant leaxmed last
night that the long grind finally
was over and that the Dodgers had
backed into the pennant.
The time was precisely 9:39 p.m.
(GST). It came about when the
Chicago Cubs, who had dropped
the opener of a day-night double
header, 4-2 to fan the Cardinals’
flickering hopes for a few more
hours, defeated the Redhirds 6-3
in the second game thus eliminat
ing them from tlxe race.
Rickey expressed pleasure over
the work of Manager Burt Shot-
ton, his coaches, and all the players
and was especially proud over the
fact that he had kept a promise
he had made to the Dodger fans
five years ago.
Shotton said that he would rest
most of his regulars for the big
series against the New York Yan
kees which gets under way next
Tuesday at the Yankee Stadium.
He refused even to guess as to
who would hurl the opener. It will
be the second world series clash
between the Yanks and Dodgers,
the Yankees having won the first
time in 1941, four games to one.
The Brooks, in fact, have yet to
win a world championship in three
attempts since 1900.
In St. Louis, Manager Eddie
Dyer had not much to say about
the Cards’ failure to retain their
world;-• championship. “Naturally
I’ll’ ivire Shotton my congratula-
tiot^V, thfe disappointed Redbird
pilqt skid, “t’d rather, hot .say any
more. It might seem like ah Alibi.?’
rying ab^ut ithe Cax-dinals .who
finally have been eliminated math
ematically. Joe Hatten was given
a five-inning outing against New
Yox-k to gain credit for his 17th
victory, 6-1. Dan Bankhead tossed
the last four innings after Hattan
went out for a pinch hitter and
most of the reserves were thrown
into action.
Tigers Slated For
Somerville Clash
Here Friday Night
Friday night, beginning at 7:30,
at Tiger Field, the A&M Consoli
dated gridders will pit their grid
iron tactics against those of Som
erville. The Tigers wjll run from
their usual T fox-mation while Som
erville will fight back from the
single wing.
Robert Eads, Tiger end, will see
action in spite of a head injury in
the Aldine clash- Less lucky is
guard Aden Magee who will be
out for another week.
Last season, Consolidated drub
bed the Somerville eleven by a
count of 27-12.
This week, as every week, a play
by play description will be broad
cast over FM.
There are no “foreigners” on
the yarsity football roster at Texas
A&M.
When Lil Dimmitt, rated among
the best traipers in the U. S., left
A&M last August, many follow
ers thought that his absence would
hamper the Aggie Athletic set-up,
but now with Broussai'd filling
Dimxnitt’s shoes so capably no one
need worry any longer about the
lack of a trainer at A&M.
Marty’s job doesn’t end with the
,patching-up of football players for
the trainers job is a year ax’ound
affair. Already a few basketball
players have started working out
and Broussard takes care of them
with just as much care as he does
the football team. Broussard will
take care of all Aggie Athletes in
both the minor and major sports.
Having been at Aggieland only
a little Jess than a month, Brous
sard has already made a name for
himself by establishing his own
set of rules for the training room.
He has put his foot down against
cussing, especially when he is ap
plying merthiolate to the player’s
fresh sti'awberry. Also, Marty has
ari'anged for cold drinks (usually
orange juice) to be served to the
players after each Saturday’s
game and after they have taken
their shower and are being inspect
ed for cuts and bruises.
When Bob Tubs, Jimmie Cash-
ion, Bobby Goff, John Ballentine,
and anyone else whose ankles need
to be expertly taped, take the
field against Texas Tech this
week-end in San Antonio, you can
rest assured that they will be sup-
poi’ted by Marty Broussard’s han
di-work.

T. U. Over Oregon
PORTLAND, ORE., Sept. 25—
(AP)—The fox’ecast came out yes
terday for dry weather at the Tex-
as-Oregon football game here Sat
urday, and the suspicion grew that
the Pacific Coast is about to be
embarrassed again.
Odds-makers were spotting Tex
as 14 to 40 points, despite Ore
gon’s avowed fervor and the fact
that this is the year Oregon had
marked for x-evenge from a 71-7
walloping inflicted in 1941.
Texas, with a host of fast backs
and 31 lettermen including gee
passer Bobby Layne, di’ubbed Tex
as Tech with ease last week, 33-
0. Meanwhile Oregon showed a
pass defense weakness and had to
come from behind in the last quar
ter to defeat little Montanna
State, 27-14.
A dry field was expected to add
to Oregon’s problem, and the fore
cast had Oregonians studying
weather charts on the possibility of
rain. The recox-d showed only 1
chance in 5 on any Sept. 27. -j
The continued fair weather gave
some visions of another 1941 be
ing, but Coach Jim Aiken of Ore
gon snorted, “TheyTl'ixaye to cut
off our legs to beat usTifee ttifft ”
