Spencer Ranks as Sta
In Maroon Offensive
; By DEAN REED ' '
- One : of the stalwarts of this
year’s Aggie line is tackle Mickey
Spencer; +
Mickey, who hails from Pasa
dena, has been the starting left
tackle on offense this season. The
husky 21-year-old junior insists he
ha^ trouble keeping his weight
down to a trim 205 pounds, but
seems to do it by working out con
sistently throughout the year.
The position of tackle was new
in college play to Mickey, but not
so in high school. During his first
two years in A&M he' played guard.
_ While in Pasadena ; High School,
however, he played both tackle and
guard, shifting from one to the
^ other depending on which team
possessed the ball. . f j
Named All-State
Starting football at an early age,
Mickey became captain of the Pasa
dena Junior High team and went
on to become the only sophomore
starting on the high school varsity,
' He advanced through his next two
years in high school to become co-
f captain of the team and an all*
state selection for the 1946 season.
One of the highlights of his high
^ school career was his final season.
That year Pasadena had justJ>een
elevated to Class AA football and
was placed in what is known ds
one of the roughest districts in
v , -Texas. The district, then 14-AA,
hud such strong teams as Port
Arthur, Baytown, Galveston,
Orange, Beaumont, and 'j South
Park ns contenders. ;
Although ft was their initial
year, the Pasadena tcam-r-lod by
Mickey—tore its way through-all
opponents to capture the clistrict
erown and advance to the bi-dis
trict game. There, however, it
lost to Lamar of Houston, reputed
to be one of the state’s strongest
teams that year. ' A&M’s star full-
bark, Bob Smith, was the power
runner on the victorious Lamar
(eleven. ‘ A
' Tale I nfolded
Another highlight of that final
R'-
on him, Mickey received another El
honor, thin time a local one. The
citizens of his hometown metropo
lis, led by the mayor and other of
ficials, proclaimed a n official
“Mickey Spencer” day.
The band played,i the stands
were crowded, and Mickey, as
usual, was blushing. To this day,
there hangs in the halls of Pasa
dena High a “Mickey Spencer
Plaque,” presented each year to the
outstanding male graduate. The
gctual plaque remains on exhibi
tion at the school, however. '■

r From El Paso, he journeyed to
Wichita Falls to participate in the
Oil Bowl game b tween the Texas-
Oklahoma all-stai s. Here again he
played with and against many of
today’s Southwes; Conference play
ers.
Several of to lay’s Aggies, in
cluding Charlie Loyalty, Carl Mol-
berg, and Dorbar dt Barton, played
in either or both; »f the latter frays.
Majoring in m< chanical engineer
ing, Mickey has managed to main
tain a good grde point average
and expects to giaduate in June ’51.
He didn’t play quite enough last
season to letter, but was valuable
as a squadman. This year, how
ever, Mickey is a dead cinch to
get that jheket f nd join the T As

Bruisin’ Bob Smith held firmly
to his number one spot among the
Southwest Conference ball carriers,
but two Rice backs continue to
present a threat to his rushing
leadership.
Bruisin’ Bog currently has gained
671 yards on 133 carries with
Wyatt runner-up with 536 on 100
tries and Lantrip third with a
record of 517 yards on 108 at

Two Passers Ranked
Don Nichols holds ninth place
among league tossers with 268
yards to his credit He has com
pleted 24 of 49 throws, so he prac
tically boasts of an even .500#
completion average.
Right behind the senior quarter
back is tetammarte Dick Gardemal.
The soph; hurler was forced from
Saturday’s tilt when jarred up
by the Ricemen, but still shows
262 yards gained via the air lanes.
The Port Arthur mart-under his
connected on 25 of 50 areials for
a .500% fecord on completions.
Paul Campbell of Texas tops
the loop in yardage with 1233 on
81 completions in 165 tosses. The
Steer pitcher has only a single
game left, however, And his two
closest competitors, each of whom
has two more games, could easily
surpass him in the next two weeks.
TCU’s Berry is second with 1133
yard* on 83 connection* in 174 tries
and Baylor’s Burk is third with
1078 on 90 completions from 153
tosses.
\ I^gry Improves Mark
Punting specialist Yale Lary
averaged! 41.6 on half a dozen boots
against Rice to improve his average
for the season. The Fort Worth
punter has averaged 37.9 yards
per kick for 69 tries.
Lary’s average places him fifth!
in the loop, ahead of the punters
from four of the other SWC j
schools. His number jof kicks far j
exceeds the number tried by any
of the other conference kickers. ]
Leading the punters is Mustang
Kyle Rote with 43.4-yard average
on 15 punts. His teammate, Doak
Walker, is runner-up with a 41.3
average on 19 boots. 5 |
Smith Fifth .Scorer
The Aggies’ Smith also is rank

his 42 points hold fifth place be
hind Randall Clay, Texas, with 64;
Doak Walker with 62; Froggie

A&M co-captain Wray Whit- ’

24 catches. First place is held by .

Bailey of TCU (444 on 31 comple-;

Ison of Baylor (372 on 34 catches). |
No Cadet punt returner has hand
