The win enabled A fthcl] In end the season with a 612 won* lest record with the nsai ihni third By BILL POTTS Four intersdctional games head he Aggie football schedule this eason and they all look like rough mes. Harry Stiteler had dropped he old practice of his predecessor, lomer Norton, in playing a weak team at the beginning of the sea son, and has lined up a far-away ame with Villanova in Philadel- jhia to begin the season. Next in line conus Texas Tech at San Antonio,' Oklahoma at Norman, and LSU at Baton Rouge. These last three are old intersectiohal rivals of A&M and as always will give^the Aggies a run for the ball game. The game with the Wildcats of Villanova will have the Aggie squad traveling farther than they have since before the last war. Both teams will be in thq dark as to exactly what the other has, so anything can happen. Villanova ha* produced some good teams in the past few- years and can be expected to field an other this fall. The Wildcats will have a big i line with capable men to fill every position except center. John Sadusky and Lou Ferry will probably fill the tackle slots and George Pavalko and Tod Or- • RECORDS • RADIOS School & Office Supplies ALL YOUR NEEDS HASWELL’S ■ X- 2-H8S OYERS-FUR ffiis ' ■ ij?. - HATTERS an : ■ . ... ft.,' I' 1 "' » f-- soki will hold down the guard po sitions. Ed Be n an a*, Joe Sheehan ami Dap Brown have the experience necessary to make good ends. Villanova Coach Jordan Olivar will have an ample supply of backfield men also. Many soph omores are included and. will back up such regulars as Bill Doherty. Andy Garden, Joe Rog ers and Bob Polidor. Doherty will probably handle the signal calling assignment. The Aggies will have a tough assignment to fulfill in defeating this team. Villanova has the home team advantage while A&M will have a long ride'beHind them when they come ori the field. Right pow, this game looks like a toss-up. Couch Dell Morgan and his Red Raiders will be gunning for A&M so ns to avenge their humiliating defeat of last year. • Tech was hit below the belt by graduation last Spring (es pecially in the line positions) and will have to dig hard and lone to’come up with talent that will compare with last-year’s. Fighting for key positions In tho line will be Bobby Williams, Doug McSwnno, Dan PuVsel, and Walter Edriiigton. j Morgan will have Ernest Haw kins and BUI Lymitii for the pass ing chores Whiltt.

'the line will be a solid forward wall with stellar players such as Homer Paine and Wade Walker at the tackle positions, Buddy Bur ris and Stan West at the guard slots, and Pete TiUmafl at center. Available to fill the end positions ard Ken Tipps, Ed Lisak, Frank Anderson, and Reece McGee. The Sooners losses by gradua tion did not dim their chances to reiptiat as leaders of the Big Seven and they will probably be even better than last year. A&M will have a rough time getting oyer the hurdle on this one. I V -fr . t LSU is in about the same shoes is A&M this year; they also have * new head coach, for- liar. All-American end Gaynell Tinsley. •| »i j Beniie Moore, Tiger coach'last year, has assumed the title of commissioner of Southeastern Con ference football.

In the backfield, ^Charley Peavy will handle the quarterbacking afid passing and Al Heroman, one of the conference’s best ground gain ers, will fill the right half berth. TrjHng for the left half slot will be Dale Gray, Joe LeSagc and Ken K<mz. The fullbacks chores will!» be handled either by Rip Collins, All- Southeastern hack, or big Zollit* Toth, the man with the strength of a horse. .j 1 •" , I Where material is concerned, LSU has a derided advantage over A&M, but it must also be remembered that both schools have new coaches. W'hen this i» taken into conaideratio^, its any* bedys bail game. A&M hns picked a mighty potent group of teams to play this sea son before settling down to the regular Conference play. Any one of these teams might show up to be better or worse than the Aggies when the season starts, although Texas Tech Is expected to give little trouble. The rest are just a finishing no lower place. v i Arthur Wiley hurlci ball fori Mitchell ns he fifth Wirt of the seusoir ftijinst two defeats.
