this Saturday in quest of victory number three, this time
at the expense of the highly rated Oklahoma Sooners.

Coach-of-the-Year, Bud Wilkin

have a good team, but says, “Oth
er teams also are going to be possibly outshine returning letter-

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.
