Steinke Named
Backfield Coach
Gilbert Steinke, defensive
backfield coach at T e x a s
A&M last season, has been
promoted to backfield coach
succeeding Dick Todd, who
resigned to take a similar job with
the pro Washington Redskins.
A&M’s coaching staff is now
complete except for a freshman
coach. Head coach Harry Stiteler
said a successor to. Coach Perron
Shoemaker, who has gone to the
University of Georgia as end coach,
may be on hand when the Aggies
begin Spring training Feb. 12.
Steinke, a little All-American
halfback at Texas A&I, played pro
football with the Philadelphia
Eagles. He was backfield coach at
Trinity University one year before
coaching the Oklahoma A&M
freshmen in 1949. Steinke divided
his time last year between the
varsity and freshman teams and
scouting for the Aggies.
Speaking of Todd’s resignation,
Stiteler said, “we surely hate to
see Dick drop out of collegiate foot
ball, but we’ve known for some
time he has considered quitting 1
coaching 1 entirely so he can de
vote all his time to ranching 1 and
farming. With his job with the
Redskins, he will now be free in
the Spring for his ranch work.”

by the Intramural Football Champ
ions, A QMC, as they battled to
the top this season.
The secret of the Supplymcn’s
success this year may be credited
to many things. Chiefly their vic
tories can be charged to a great
team spirit and an overwhelming
desire to win.
Although the, Suppliers had one
of the best break-away runners in
the league in the person of Bud
Yeager, not once during the entire
season did the QMC depend entire
ly upon, the talents of one man.
Each man in the backfield—Char
ley Bruchmiller, Frank Trahan,
and June Clark—took turns regu
larly in battering the opposing
forward wall.
June Clark, who called the plays
for the Supplymen, was one of
the best ball handlers in the busi
ness and perhaps the smartest sig
nal caller seen all season. Not
once did it seem that Clark was
hard-pressed by any situation his
team faced and always he seemed
to call the right play to meet the
challenge.
Not to be overlooked is the firey
and spirited line that led the fast
charging backs. It is a well-known
fact that the backs gain the glory
and credit for a team’s victories
while the linemen take the hard-
knocks and bruises to open holes
and gain no recognition.
Jess Fletcher w r as the fire-
horse guard that opened the holes
for the offensive backs and plug
ged the gaps for the defensive line.
Fletcher was by no means the
QMC’s only lineman but he seemed
to spearhead the offensive and de
fensive lines and add the necessary
incentive for the big, bruising line
man to carry on the battle.
The ability to come from behind
and pull games out of the fire
was a characteristic of the QMC
company all year.
In the early season games the
Supplymen seemed to have little
trouble in defeating their oppon-
In the first four conference bas
ketball games, the Texas Aggies
have held their opponents to a 44.8-
point average. By comparison the
powerful Oklahoma A&M team’s
average for the season is 44.2.

ents with ease, but as the season
progressed the games got tougher
until the QMC attained the finals
and their ability to come from
behind was tested by the strongest
A Infantry.
In the finals the QMC gridders
took the lead 6-0 early in the con
test. Toppcrwine’s conversion at
tempt was no good as the pighide
hit the crossbar and bounded under
the goal posts.
The infantrymen scored next and
oddly enough their conversion at
tempt also hit the crossbar but it
went over and the Infantry com
pany was ahead, 7-6.
With three plays remaining in
the contest the QMC drove 40 yards
culminating the drive with a 30
yard touchdown pass to win the
game,. 12-7.
The QMC gridders consider this
game the toughest they played all
year and also a major triumph
in more ways than winning the
championship.

Ags ‘Frozen’ Out of Cage Lead;
TCLI Gets Bitter Revenge, 30-27
By FRED B. WALKER
Associate Sports Editor
Coach Buster Brannon’s Horned
Frogs experienced sweet revenge
last night as they fi-oze an eager
Cadet five into submission and out
of the SWC cage lead, 30 to 27,
before 4600 howling fans in Will
Roger Coliseum.
Somewhere between boos and
misguided cries of “We’ll beat you
at your own game,” TCU gi'abbed a
bite three-point lead and managed
to hold it until the end of the
game, but the excitement and ri
valry of that second half all but
turned the Coliseum into a mad
house.
The first period was a “still”
compared to the last 20 minutes.
A&M snagged the initial tip-off
and tallied four points—two liber
ties by Raymond Walker and a
field goal by John DeWitt—while
the Toads wei’e missing eight tries.
But field goals by forwai’d Ted
Reynolds tied things up in short
order.
Free throws and field goals were
traded by both quintets and the
game slowed down beyond the ap-
pi'eciation of the Frog rooters. But
only for the moment as TCU push
ed the speed of play and left the
court at half-time with a five-point
lead after Fromme and center
George McLeod tallied three points
apiece on field goals and fi’ee
tosses. Jewell McDowell and Bud
dy Davis were the only Aggies able
to score in the closing minutes as
they di’opped in a free thi*ow
each.
Within a minute and twenty-one
seconds after the start of the sec
ond period, the Aggies had over
come their five-point deficit and
gone into the lead by a lone tally.

ball down only to lose it to an

only one.
