Beat Tech QB Club Meets Thursday in Assembly Hall The first meeting of The Battalion Quarterback Club will be held in the Assembly Hall Thursday night after yell practice. Beginning its third big year on the campus, the Quarterback Club is sponsored by those merchants of College Station and Bryan who firmly believe in the objective of the club. The objectives of the club are outlned: • to create in the public an ex pressive and active interest in the “Fightin’ Texas Aggie” football team. • to get the public out to the Aggies games once that interest and support have been instilled. • to put the Aggies on the map —to make them nationally known. ® to stimulate football interest throughout the entire Southwest C.opfer,en.ee. . Club attendance dropped off in 1948, but interest and participation was aroused last year when Sid Wise, former Battalion advertising manager, took the club under his wing for a successful season. T'reless efforts on the part of Wise brought such speakers as “The Old Scotchman,” Gordon Mc Clendon, and Bill Rives, Sports Editor of the Dallas Morning News. Wise was rewarded for the long hours spent by increased member ship nunibering over 2,000. Nine Quarterback Club meet ings are open to the general public as well as students and faculty. Readers are reminded to look for the Quarterback Club advertise ment in Wednesday’s Batt for in formation concerning the annual club contest. lippman Named ‘Back of Week’ oris Staff Gallopin’ Glenn Lippman, 168-pound left halfback from El Campo, has been named “Back of the Week” by the Battalion Sports Staff by virtue of his sparkling running’ performance against Nevada. Lippman turned in the longest run of the game, and 80 yard jaunt from scrimmage. Early in the third quarter a 93 yard kickoff return by Lippman was nullified when it was ruled he had stepped out on his own 44. All in all, Lippman carried the ball 10 times for a total of 138 yards or a 13.8 average. In those 10 carries he was never once drop ped for a loss. Saturday’s performance put Lippman at the head of the top ten ground gainers in the confer ence. His closest contender is Kyle Rote, of SMU, with 10.8 yards per carry. Last year the El Campo “Flash” led the nation in kickoff returns through the early season games. He was an All-District and an All- American standout in high school and led the SWC freshmen elevens in ground gaining during his Fish year at A&M. Lippman, who was billed as po tential All-American upon entering A&M in ’48, was hampered all last year by bad publicity and in adequate blocking. This season the Gallopin’ Glenn can go places, namely downfield,^. with a fast, hard-charging line ahead of him. • Dallas, Sept. 26 — (A > ) — Glenn Lippman of A&M, who romped to 138 yards against Nevada, is the leading ball-carrier in the South west Conference through the first week of play. Lippman made his yardage on 10 carries. He gained eight yards more than Kyle Rote, the mighty Southern Methodist halfback, who became the total offense leader by completing seven passes for 120 yards against Georgia Tech. Rote has a total of 250 yards. Through Lippman’s great day, A&M rolled up 463 yards rushing to lead the conference in offense while Southern Methodist was sec ond with 435. Ben Tompkins of Texas led the passers with eight completions in 11 attempts for 148 yards against Texas Tech. Rote was second in passing. Louie Schaufele of Arkansas topped the punters with an average of - 42 5 0«- against Oklahoma A&M but kicked only once. The best average was by Jim Hickey of Texas Christian against Kansas. Hickey punted Six times for an average of 39.8. Bill Richards, whose 63-yard punt run-back set up the first Southern Methodist touchdown in its 33-13 victory over Georgia Tech, leads in kick returns with 69 yards for an average of 34.5. Lippman is second with an average of 24.5. Ben White of Southern Methodist caught seven passes for 105 yards to take the lead in pass-receiving. Gib Dawson of Texas is second with three for 69. 1 Arkansas lost to Oklahoma A&M but still had the best defensive rec ord in the conference. Arkansas gave up only 159 yards. Team Spirit High A&M’s football squad went through the regular Monday workout yesterday, limbering up and running plays, in driz zling rain but with high spirits. Both the coaches and the players seem to he in the best of mental condition. After Head Coach Harry Stiteler and Dick Todd had drilled the backfield on pass defense for the greater portion of the afternoon, the team then worked out on its own. Good news on the physical side included the return of End Walter Hill, Guard Carl Hill, Clinton Gwin, David Duncan and Bob Smith. Bob Bates, who suffered a bruised ankle in the Nevada-A&M game, and John Christensen are the only two Cadets who did not participate fully in prac tice yesterday. Coach Stiteler said that Delmar Sikes, who completed two of six passes for 42 yards in the past game and directed the Aggies to six of their seven touchdowns, is at the pre sent time, A&M’s top quarterback, and unless something happens between now and Saturday, Sikes will start before a hometown crowd in San Antonio against Texas Tech. The other three quarterbacks, Dick Gardemal, Darrow^ Hooper, and Ray Graves, were also sharpening up their passes, and all will be ready for action Saturday. J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test Glenn Lippman Notre Dame Still Leads College Big Boys Enter Football Picture Saturday New York, Sept. 25—(A 5 )—Col lege football’s big boys—Notre Dame, Michigan, Army, Oklahoma and Southern California—get into action this weekend. Notre Dame, stripped of many of last year’s stars, still is the people’s choice to keep adding to its string of unbeaten games and last week was picked as the coun try’s best by 125 sports editors in a pre-season poll by the Associated Press. The Indiana Irish take on North Carolina, winner by 13 to 7 over North Carolina State Saturday. Army, bangs into Colgate. Coach Earl Blaik’s son, Bob, will do the Field Masterminding for the Ca dets, who also have a winning streak going. Oklahoma Plus Heath Oklahoma, with fullback Leon Heath as the only starter left from its two-time Sugar Bowl champions, is host to Boston College. Boston was held to a 7 to 7 deadlock by Wake Forest Friday night. Michigan takes on Michigan State, youngest member of the big ten and the surprise winner by a 38 to 13 score over Oregon State. The margin of the Spartan’s tri umph was the surprise. Southern California, suspected of having the most material on the West Coast, is host to Iowa Fri day night. It will be the first game for Iowa and Michigan as it will be for all other members of the big ten, all of whom participate in non-conference tilts. SMU Meets Ohio State Intersectional contests will be the order as Kyle Rote and his Southern Methodist playmates, who whacked Georgia Tech by a 33 to 13, meet the remodeled Rose Bowl champion team at Ohio State. Clemson and Missouri are booked at Columbia. Purdue opens its home schedule against Texas, where the Long horns will be eager to add the boilermakers to the list of victims. Duke is host to the Pittsburgh Panthers. Howie Odell’s Washington team, a pre-season mystery on the West (See BIG BOYS, Page 4) Russell Still Moaning After King-Sized Win Dallas, Sept. 26—(A 5 )—Coach H. N. (Rusty) Russell of Southern Methodist thinks it a good idea to wait until Saturday before getting excited over his football team. The Methodists, who impressed the southwest and other areas with a 33-13 victory last week over Georgia Tech, fly to Columbus, O., to play Ohio State in the second game of the season. Russell says he isn’t hopeful at all of taking care of the Rose Bowl champions. Seeing a lot of things the crowd of 54,000 apparently overlooked, Russell declared “My boys made a jillion mistakes” in the conquest of Georgia Tech.
