AH-Conference nominees have
increased at a rapid rate after
last Saturday’s games. Although
only jthree Aggies were nominated
he Battalion, in contrast the
ing Rice-SMU fray produced
al of 17 players who were giv
en the nod by either Howard Mar
tin df The Rice Thresher or Ben
Peeler of The SMU Campus.
Maroon players named in, the
fifth week polling were halfback
Bobby Goff, center Jim Flowers,
and^ named for the TCU clash
guard Carl Molberg. Goff carried
the \ heavy load on the ground as
Ihftl. Frfiggtes managed to slow
do\&n “Rapid Robert" Smith, the
Agjgie fullback who had sparked
the local attack in previous games.
Flowers for the second Straight
wejt turned in the top defensive
performance in, the Farmjer line
and Molberg, half of the (“watch
charm” gugrd combination for the
Cadets, also looked capable in his
slot.
Owls Dominate Lists
Ben Peeler of the SMU school
paper was as impressed by the
Rice eleven as was the Must^ig
team. He named ten of the Feath
ered Flock on his weekly ballot.
Included were halfbacks Van Bal
lard and Gordon Wyatt, fullback
Bob Lantrip, quarterback Tobin
Rote, three centers, Gerald Weath-
erley, Joe Wat,son, and Lee Stone-
striBet, guards S. J. Roberts and
Cat! Schwarz, and end Pames Wfl-
liams.
From his won eleven Peeler lis
ted* Doak Walker, quarterback;
Fred Benners, quarterback; and
John Champion, halfback.
Martin of the Thresher included
PQhies Walker and Champion, but
dropped Benners in favor of guard
Jadk Hallidav, on his ballot. Owls

Plans Given By
Shriner Group
1 L : ; I L | j T
PlRns for the annuial A&M-Tex-
s freshman game are being dev-
loped at the present, according
o Q. W. Schessclnjan, head of
|he geography department. Schlefe-
lelmkn is a member of the Brazos
Valley Shrine Club which is joint
sponsor of the( classic with the
Ben Hur Temple of 1 Austin.
Schiesselman explained the gen-,
eral set-up of the program behind
the annual affair in a telephone
conversation yesterday. The! tjwo
Shriner organizations undertook
the project of sponsoring the game
in 1947, the first year that fresh
man teams competed after the war.
Proceeds from the affair are all
placed in a fund to build a crip
pled children’s hospital in Austin,
the A&M professor added- Al
though theehospital has not been
built yet, the organization of the
project is actove, he said.
Club Sponsors Clinic
i ;
At the prfesent tinftie the Brazos
Valley group sponsors a local clin
ic each spring, Schiesselman stat-
edc and those children who can
be aided medically, but need fin
ancial assistance, are cared for . by
the club. In 1949 the clinic check
ed 177 children and 11 were sent
to various hospitals, he reported.
Of these 11, 5 went to Austin
where they were treated free of
charge at facilities maintained by
the Shriners in the wing of che
present hospital, the geography
head explained. Schiesselman add
ed that the building fund derived
from the proceeds df thd A&M-
Texas tilt will be used to construct
a new hospital to replace the inad
equate facilities in the hospital
wing now used.
Last year some $8,000 was real
ized from the Shorthorn invasion
of Kyle . Field.
On the tennis courts, Dotjn 16
blanked a slow team from Mitchell
3-0 with J. A. Thompson and Jack
Dempsey outstanding in the con
tests.
The other two tennis games were
forfiets.
TCW took an easy hardcourt
win over Law, 16-18, despite the
outstanding play of big Leland Tate
who scored six of the Law points.
Sonny Pigoff of the winners| was
high point man of the match 'with
eight points. The first half was
very close, but during the third
quarter TCW iced the game with
three quick goals.
Sam Liberto led an outnamed
Dorm 15 team in a losing effort
against Dorm 14 as the 14’ers took
the decision, 24-12. Keptra and
Meadows led the victors and tied
for high point honors.
In the opening day of club
competition, the two} high scoring
games between Entomology and
Rio Grande and between Hillel and
Fish and Game were the outstand
ing matches of the day.
Rio Grande, led by tricky Jack
England, downed the Entomology
five, 23-17. England shared high
point honors with Vitek of the los
ers; with each had seven points.
Fish and Game outplayed the
Hillel club and defeated them,
19-12. Outstanding player of the
the Fish and Game team.

When the Aggie Fish tangle with
the TCU Wog* at 7:30 tonight on
Kyle Field, the clash will have
the appearance of an assault! by
a wheelchair brigade so far ns
the Fish are concerned.
As a result of the game with
the Baylor freshmen plus some
hard scrimmage this week, the
Fish team is injury ridden to an
alarming degree. A number ‘of
the key players on Coach Pugh’s
team are sidelined, and several may
see no more action the remainder
of the season.
Ray Graves again is a doubtful
player, as is Bob Dixon, tackle.
Marshall Rush, starting guard, re
ceived a head injury in the Baylor
tilt and may be out for the! re
mainder of the season. Harvey
Smith, another tackle out with a
leg injury is lost for the season.
Ken Reese, defensive standout,
will also be missing.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture is the smoothness that the
backs have been showing ih. late
practice sessions against the var
sity reserves. With some of the
bugs worked out of their attack
and some early : season wlldpess
overcome, the Fish can field a ))(>•
nt team. TvJj Tl’i!
A great deal of work has been
done to improve the Inefficient of
fensive blocking sefen laistT wi’ck;
and this alone, if corrected]'ahkmld
mean several touchdowns to j the
Fish. Some shifting has been (one
in the backfield : to ! increase Ms
overall power.
A surprise moVe, and ofte Ahati
should please the fans is theiihift
of Harrow Hooper, quarter!) ick,
to the rlghthalf slot. Hooper is
fast and is an Excellent pa ser.;
This move may give the Fish a; ter
rifle offensive advantage; with two
top-notch cadet passers in at; the
sam^ time, the defense may ; not
be able to defend against (swieps
and at the same; time caver all
the downficld men irt evept ^hat
Hooper should stop and pass.
As a rehult of the move, the
starting backfield; should read as
follows; Carl Miengdr, quarter,
Darrow Hooper, right. half, 5. lay
Haas, left half; and Walt ilijl,
full. If Hill is used to any great ex
tent dn defense, as he was in! the
Baylor game, Herb McJunkin ; ivlH
