The Aggies, fresh from victories over Nevada and Texas Tech, will be trying to stop the Sooner’s victory string at 22.

On how well these soph- Heath, omores develop may well hang the key to future Sooner victories. Aggie Line Shines Leon Heath Is Back Line crashing Leon Heath, a fullback, is the only starter back from last year’s offensive team. He will no doubt see considerable service from his berth on Wilkin son’s -sp]it T formation. Oklahoma led the nation 'in rushing and defense against rhsh- ing last year on the strength of their powerful line play. Whether or not Wilkinson can rebuild that line, what with the loss of All- American Tackle Wade Walker and others' to match his running power is the question that as yet remains unanswered. All told, Oklahoma lost 10 men from last year’s starting team in cluding his star quarterback Dar rell Royal. Royal was the nucelus of the Sooner’s kicking attack. Will Miss Walker No doubt Sooner backs will miss having Walker clear the way for them in the line but they may find some consolation at the guard post where 210-pound Clair Mayes has taken over. Letterman Bert Clark, 198, may shade Norman McNabb, 195-pound co-captain for the other terminal. Four lettermen are vieing for tackle positions. The leading two thus far have been Art James, 205 and Dean Smith, 210. At the end positions will be Frankie Ander son, a second stringer last year, but top contender for the right flanking spot this year. The left end position has turned into a five way race with Troy Keller, a bril liant pass-snaring speedster lead ing the way. Close behind him are Jack Lockett and Ed Lisak. The Aggies with the same back- field as last year, but a vastly im proved line will provide the test for the Oklahoma forward wall. Stalwarts such as Andy Hillhouse, jimmy Flowers, Max Griener, Bob Bates, Sam Moses, Carl Molberg, Alvin Langford, Dorbandt Barton and Marshall Rush, plus-others, just as capable will attempt to clear the way for hard charging backs. Leading the attack to Oklahoma will be quarterback Delmer Sikes. Sikes after spending three years as a squadman has finally come into his own. His passing thus far has accounted for four of the Ag gies’ 12 touchdowns. Bolstering the Aggie running game will be Bruisin’ Bob Smith who currently leads the conference in scoring with 36 points. Smith boasts an aver age of five yards per carry. Boast Leading Bail Carriers The Conference’s leading ball carriers, Billy Tidwell, 11.4 yards per carry, and Glenn Lippman, with a 10.6 average, will operate for A&M from the right and left halfback spots respectively. Lipp man also holds down the number two spot in punt returns with a neat 28 yard average. Should the Aggies be forced to kick they may rely on the toe of Yale Lary. Lary has a 36.6 punt ing average thus far. He holds down the number four spot in con ference punting. But in all, the balance of this week’s outcome seems to lie with the line. If it can continue to open holes for the shifty Aggie backs and close them agains the Okla homans the Aggies may make headlines across the nation. —Beat Oklahoma— MAKE HIM PROMISE . . . to bring you HERE after a hard day in the kitchen!
