Lineman of the Week
Barton Ranked Among Best
By HAROLD GANN
^ Dorbandt J. Barton, A&M’s
giant, 205 pound defensive end,
is now ranked among the top line
men of the Southwest Conference,
because of his standout perfor
mance against Nevada in the Ag
gies’ opener last Saturday.
And because of Barton’s top-
notch play in the Aggies’ victory
last week, he has been named by
The Battalion Sports Staff, “Line
man of the Week.”

Maneuvering at the left end post
while the Wolfpack had the ball,
the West Texas senior played the
best game of his career while
jamming up every play attempted
around his end, stopping a try
for extra point, and setting up two
pass interceptions that turned
into Cadet touchdowns.
Hindered by weak ankles until
the final three games of the ’49
season, Barton failed to receive
pre-season billings as a prospec
tive all-conference gridder.
“He’s A Fine Boy”
“He’s a fine boy”, commented
Coach Dog Dawson. “He’s gonna
be one of the best in the confer
ence, if he keeps improving. “The
Nevada team didn’t run a single
play around his end all night.
“Barton is good on turning the
plays to the inside which is one
of the main requirements of a de
fensive end,” Dawson concluded.
The Nevada game, in which he
combined with other stellar defen
sive men to hold the Nevada of
fensive to a minus three yards,
highlights a lengthy period of
sports participation for the quiet,
modest Cadet Major from Fort
Stockton.
Outstanding Athlete
Active in high school sports,
Dorbandt lettered four years in
football, basketball, and track.
In 1947, his last high school
year, Dorbandt was elected to the
all-district football and basketball
teams and starred as a defensive
line backer and end in the annual
All-Star High School game played
in El Paso.
Then weighing 180 pounds, he

played tailback on the football
team while leading the team in
scoring.
Wants to Be. Broker
Dorbandt is a shade shy of six-
foot-three, and will reach his 22nd
birthday November 3, a day before
the Arkansas game.
Majoring in Agriculture Econo
mics, his greatest ambition is to
be a livestock broker. Working
with horses is his hobby.
Called “Lead Foot” by Aggie
teammates, the senior letterman
has a habit of driving fast, wheth
er it be in an automobile or at an
opposing line.
Bates Backs Him Up
He and Bob Bates, the burly 210-
pound linebacker, are closely asso
ciated, both on and off the grid
iron.
Besides working together as
linebacker and end on the left
side, the two are roommates in
Hart Hall. “One of the reasons
we call him “Leadfoot” is because
he’s hard to throw off his feet,”
remarked Bob.
Next time you see the Aggies
play, you may get some idea of
how Dorbandt Barton uses “bot
tom-heavy” feet, closely resemb
ling a stubborn bowling pin.
Frank Graves
Graves will be a potential start
er against the Cadets in San An
tonio. Last week against TU,
Graves intercepted a Ben Tomp
kins thrown aerial which he re
turned to the Texas 11, setting
up the Raiders second counter.

Lippman Leads Rushers
In First Week Of Play
By RALPH GORMAN
A&M’s Glenn Lippman is the
player who heads the list of the
ten leading ball carriers in the
Southwest Conference compiled
from last Saturday’s play. Vic
timized a year ago when publicity
forced each team to concentrate
their efforts on him, he is appar
ently now well seasoned with a
year’s experience behind him.
In Saturday’s game with Nev
ada, Lippman lugged the pigskin
10 times for a total of 138 yards,
never once being dropped for a
loss. Proudly possessing an aver
age of 13.8 yards per carry, he is
well ahead of SMU’s Kyle Rote,
who shows an average of 10.8
yards per carry.
Billy Tidwell and Bob Smith are
two more members of the Cadet
eleven who rank in the top ten.
Tidwell, whose 69 yard touchdown
sprint ranked second only to the
80 yards galloped by Lippman, car
ried six times for a total of 109
yards and an average 18.2 yards
per carry.

in regard to the results of last
Saturday’s grid contests . . . No
one can sell the Aggies short on
statistics.
Tech Raiders Sparked
TU, Want Victory'
By RALPH GORMAN
Sparked by their better than ex
pected showing against Texas last
Saturday, the Rod Raiders of
Texas Tech will arrive in San An
tonio this Saturday expecting a
win over the highly spirited Ag
gies.
The Raiders exhibited a strong
defense against the Longhorn driv
ing power to stop the six touch
down favorites at a total of 28
points. Even more impressive was
the devastating effect that the
Tech offense had on a supposedly
impenetrable Longhorn forward
wall—amassing a total of 274
yards on the ground.
Coach Dell Morgan will start
Junior Arterburn in the man-under
slot when the whistle blows in
Alamo Stadium Saturday night.
Now in his senior year, the 6’ 2”
Arterburn gave proof of his prow
ess on the gridiron last week as
a fleet runner, good thinker, and
an excellent passer.
Thompson At Fullback
At fullback will be J. W. Thomp
son, three year letterman senior,
who provided much of the smash
ing force that ripped the Texas’
line for 14 first downs.
Flanking the fullback in the
left and right halfback positions
are Ike Stuver and Bobby Close.
Stuver is a senior having lettered
the past two seasons and will con
tinue to do much of the punting.
Close has the reputation of a hard
blocker and a speedster. Lettering
in both football and track', he is
a junior with another year of eli
gibility remaining.
At center and line backer is
Robert His, a 6’ 2”, 185. pound,
two year letterman. He demon
strated his line backing potential
ities last week when he charged
forth time and again to plug any

7tli Straight
Over Colonial
Lexington, Sept. 29—When
V. M. I. invades Alexandria’s
high school field tonight, it
will mark the seventh time
the Keydets have met the Col
onials of George Washington Uni
versity on the gridiron. G. W. is
the only team on the V. M. I. sche
dule which has been unable, to de
feat the Red, White and Yellow tri
color team in.past seasons. >
In'six meetings' so far, V.M.I.
has as many wins, having scored
146 points while holding the op
position from the Nation’s Capi
tal to a total of 24. This difference
is primarily due to the record prior
to 1947.
Other than V.M.I., no football
team has ever played the Colon
ials more than once without the
Washingtons getting a win. Back
in 1897, V. M. I. edged G. W. by
a 14-4 margin, but the following
year it was no contest as the Key
dets marched to* a 33-0 triumph.
Their next engagement came in
1922, whep - it was a 46-0 victory
for one of the strongest V.M.I.
teams in history.
Since the war, however, V.M.I.-
George Washington games have
been dangerously close. In ’47,
when the two schools renewed their
rivalry, it was all V.M.I. could do
to get by one a 13-7 win. The fol
lowing year it was 26-6 in a
thriller which could have gone the
other way almost as easily.

hole that might be forged in the
Tech line.
Sophomore talent in the Raider
lineup is shown at the two guard
posts.
Vernon Barron hails from
Temple with a blocking weight of
190 pounds and is matched at the
other guard position by the 190
pound Don Gray. The Tatter is
not entirely without experience,
having played one season with the
Fort Bliss eleven and shows that
he isn’t a novice to the game by
his ruggedness.
Seniors J. T. Baker and Doug
McSwane will again receive the
starting nods from Morgan at the
tackle slots. Baker, ac 6’ 2”, is one
inch taller and ten pounds lighter
than his colleague McSwane. Bak
er is a two year letterman and
spends much of his time in student
council affairs. McSwane is bid
ding for his fourth grid numeral
and was a starting offensive tackle
throughout the ’49 season.
Share End Posts
Sharing the end posts will be
Dick Cavazbs. and Elbert Johnson
at one, while Dick Jackson and
Bill Sharpley split time at the
other. Cavazos, 180 pound senior,
lettered last fall as a standout
defensive end and has been appro
priately named No. 1 defensive end
this season. Jackson also lettered
last fall and is expected to start
all season for the offense, having
developed into a good pass re
ceiver.
Johnson is a Marine veteran with
two numerals to his credit, Tower
ing three inches above six feet,
the 200 pounder is hard to get
around.
A junior letterman is the 6’ 1”
Sharpley. After getting off to a
slow start a year ago, he develop
ed into an excellent pass receiver.
The Raiders will field a back-
field aggregation, tipping the
scales at an average of 180 pounds,
which will be slightly above the
170 pounds carried by the Cadets,
it is a different story, though,
when you match the forward walls.
The 208 pound average displayed
by the Aggie line will be difficult
to handle by the 189 pound aver
age on the Raider’s side.
