A Pigskin Preview of Aggie Coaching Staff for ’51
By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
A&M will have one of the larg
est football coaching staffs in the
conference for the coming year—
not necessarily in numbers but in
size.
Head Coach Ray George and
newly appointed Line Coach Paul
McMurtry both tip the scales at
about 260 pounds. Henry Fold
berg, also newly appointed as end
coach will tip the scales at about
, 235 and the rest of the staff, Gil
Steinke, backfield coach; James
(Klepto) Holmes, freshman coach;
Dalton Faircloth, assistant back-
field coach; and Trainer Bill Day-
. ton will all weigh close to the 200
mark.
Besides the aggregate weight of
the septet, the combined ages of
!he group is approximately 250
years with the average about 33
or so making them one of the
youngest, if not the youngest
staffs in the coaching profession
at a major school.
Looks Big As Battleship
George looks ..more like the
“Mighty Mo” going through the
Panama Canal than he does a
Southwest Conference grid coach.
Standing six feet tall and tipping
the scales at 263 after a handball
match, George still possesses the
hard muscles and yard-wide shoul
ders he had as a| star tackle with
u the Southern California Trojans.
George is a believer in demon
stration rather than just telling
the boys how he wants it done.
He never hesitates to get down
with a shoulder into one of his
* boys to show the proper way to
feint and block.
Born in St. Louis
The massive giant was born in
Bt. Louis, Mo. but attended Loyola
(Calif.) High School where he let
tered four years as a football
tackle, three years as a weight
man on the track team and three
years as a baseball catcher.
He lettered three years as a
tackle at the University of South
ern California where he made all-
Pacific Coast in 1938 and received
honorable mention for all-America.
This was the year the Trojans de
feated national champions Notre
Dame 13-0 and Duke 7-3 in the
Rose Bowl.
George played pro football one
year before joining the USC coach
ing staff as a line coach. During
the five years George was line
j^^oach, USC won the Pacific Coast
I^Btitie' twice and ranked high three
^^times. He was chief assistant to
». head coach Jeff Cravath the last
two years at Southern Cal.
Foldberg—All-American
Foldberg, an ex-Aggie of the
class of 1945, received all-America
honors in 1945 and 1946 while
performing end duties for the Ca
dets at the U. S. Military Acad
emy at West Point, N. Y. He
played basketball and lacrosse,
gaining all-America honors in la
crosse in 1947.
A resident of Dallas, Foldberg
played pro football with the Brook
lyn Dodgers in 1948 and the Chi
cago Hornets in 1949. Pie was
end coach for the University of
Miami during spring practice in
1948 and Baylor during the spring
drills of 1949. He went to Purdue
for the remainder of the spring
drills in 1949 and was given full
time status in January, 1950.
The other giant of the coaching
staff, McMurtry, was graduated
from Southern Cal in February,
1951 after lettering as guard for
the Trojans three years. The 31-
year-old Navy veteran was team
captain last season and blocked the
punt which gave the Trojans a 9-6
victory over Notre Dame. He was
named all-Pacifie Coast last year.
Native Texan
A native of Rio Hondo, Paul
entered the Navy and was on duty
eight years. As a physical educa
tion major, he entered Long Beach
(Calif.) Junior College and entered
USC the following year.
“All of we coaches at Southern
Cal said we’d hire Paul as a line
coach if we ever become head coach
somewhere,” Head Coach George
said. “Well, I’m the first one to
get the head job and I’m getting
Paul.”
Both McMurtry and Foldberg are
frequenters of Joe Fagan’s con
tribution to A&M entertainment—
the A&M Golf Course. When ques
tioned about their scores recently,
they were very discreet about di
vulging their totals but rather said
“we’re improving a little bit at a
time.”
Steinke—Little All-American
Steinke, who has been on the
coaching staff since January 1950,
is a former little all - America
backfield ace. He played his col
lege football at Texas A&I at
Kingsville and graduated to the
pro ranks where he performed for
the Philadelphia Eagles for three
years. He led the National League
in punt returns in 1946.
Later he was backfield coach at
Trinity University in San Antonio
and freshman coach at Oklahoma
A&M in the Fall of 1949.
Faircloth earned nine letters
while in high school in Bolton High,
Alexandria, La. After graduating
with letters in football, basketball
and track in 1929, he entered col
lege in Louisiana College, Pineville.
Three I^rosh Letters
He earned three freshman nu
merals in football, baseball and
track. When he advanced to var
sity standing he won 12 letters in
four sports—football, track, bas
ketball and baseball. Pie was
named to the all-Louisiana Inter
collegiate Athletic Association
teams for both fodtball and basket
ball in 1931.
In 1933 and 1934, Faircloth
coached the freshman teams at
Louisiana College and guided them
to freshman titles both years. This
was a beginning of 13 years coach
ing.
He mentored the New Albany,
Miss. High School to a Northeast
Mississippi Class A title in 1941
prior to entering the service in
1942 for 52 months duty. He was
placed on inactive duty in 1946 as
a captain. While in the service,
he served as a Physical Training
instructor for the Army Air Forces.
Returned to Gridiron
After he was mustered,out, he re
turned to coaching—this time at
DeQuincy, La. High School from
1946-50 where he led the team to
the semi-finals in 1948 and to the
State Class A finals in 1949. For

and 1936. He also played one year
of pro basketball in 1938.
During the 1950 footbdll season,
Faircloth acted as B team coach

High School for one year and then
returned to A&M as line coach un
der the then head coach Matty
Bell, now director of athletics for
SMU.
He left A&M to take a coach
ing position at Cuero High School
in 1933 and in 1934 moved to Ala
mo Heights in San Antonio. After
these coaching positions, Hojmes
moved to Arlington where he field
ed championship teams in 1935,
1936, 1938 and 1943. His teams
finished second in the old Texas
Junior College conference in 1940
and 1941.
The man who keeps the players
(and sometimes the coaches) in
shape is one Bill Dayton. He was
named as A&M’s trairter on Au
gust 1, 1949. He is known for
his remarkable record of keeping
Aggie athletes “ready to play.”
Rated Tops In Field
Outsiders who have followed his
work over the years rate Dayton
one of the top trainers in the
country and Aggie athletes and
coaches second the motion.
Bill was trainer for Tuiane Uni
versity at New Orleans for two
years before coming to A&M. Ear
lier he was trainer at the Univer
sity of Miami from 1938-42 and
again in 1945-46 and part of 1947.
Born in New York City in 1914,
Dayton was at Georgia Pre-Flight
in Athens, Ga. as part of training
for the Navy for three years. He
graduated from high school in .1933
and graduated from the Swedish
Institute of Physiotherapy in 1937.
As further training in his life’s
work, Dayton furthered his educa
tion upon graduation from the
Eastern School of Physiotherapy in
1938.

Title Defenders Open
Season This Afternoon
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Bizzell Beat’s, defending non
military softball champions, will
start their defense of the title this
afternoon when they meet Dorm 15
in the opening game of the second
six weeks tourney.
The Bears copped the title when
they downed Milner in a two out
of three game series. Milner drop
ped the first game in the series
but bounced back to take the sec
ond. Bizzell then stormed back
when the blue chips were on the
table and took the title in the
final game.
Milner and Bizzell will be slight
favorites in the league but it can
go any of a number of ways as the
league was relatively tight during
the last six weeks. There will be
almost twice as many games play
ed in this six weeks. To work all
the games scheduled into the time
available, six Fridays and one
Saturday games had to be sched
uled. All the teams in the league
will have one game on Friday and
Indians, Giants Tangle
With Tigers, Pirates
The second half of the College
Station Softball League will be
gin today, rather than yesterday,
as reported in yesterday’s Battal
ion.
There will be two games in the
four-team league, reorganized ear
ly this week from the former six-
team lodp, with the Indians squar
ing off against the Tigers and the
Giants meeting the Pirates.
Hank Mills, manager of the In
dians will probably start Barney
Welch against Newt Williamson,
one of the co-managers of the
Tigers who are ably guided by both
Williamson and John Rogers.
In the Giant-Pirate fracas, Bill
Hensel has named Sarg. White to
face Homer Adams of the Pirates,
directed by K. A. Manning.
The four teams will play each
Wednesday and Friday on the two
diamonds used in the first-half,
College Hills and College Park.

Fish Start Monday
Freshman softball will not start
until July 23 but once the tourney
gets under way, all four teams will
play every day until the tourna
ment is over. At the end of the
softball league, the freshman will
start their volleyball league. Fresh
man ball will be especially inter
esting to watch as it is not deter
minable as yet whether they lost
enough players at the end of this
last semester to hurt their teams.
Non-military volleyball will get
underway next Monday with Vet
Village defending their volleyball
championship against Bizzell. The
civy clad lads will play only one
game a day in their volleyball
league.
Texas Questionable
Biggest question being discussed
this semester among the teams is
what type of ball club will Texas
field. The Texas lads were some
thing of a disappointment last se
mester as they just couldn’t seem
to get rolling in softball. They man
aged to get through the season
without winning a game. All of
their athletic glory came on the
volleyball court as they were bare
ly nosed out of the championship
by Vet Village.
Texas will give a preview of
their second semester team Thurs
day when they meet Milner.
Lou Brissie, new pitching ac-
quistion of the Cleveland Indians,
has never pitched less than 200
innings in any one of his three
full years in the majors.
Now you can join in a nation-wide movement
to stop this kind of waste—a movement that’s already
saving us billions in tax dollars annually.
# When a certain farmer wrote for infor
mation on fertilizer, he received 5 different
and conflicting replies from 5 different
agencies.
The bipartisan Hoover Commission un
covered many such examples of confusion
and waste. It found that the government
was borrowing money from itself and pay
ing interest on it... that two agencies had
run $250,000 surveys for a natural re
sources project at sites two miles apart and
come up with estimates that varied by $75
million!
Today, 50% of the Hoover Report recom
mendations have been enacted into law.
The result? Federal costs have been reduced
by billions of dollars and federal machin
ery has been streamlined and strengthened
to face any crisis.
But there’s still more to he done. The rest
of the Report recommendations are now
before Congress. If passed, they can save
us additional billions of dollars each year
and make our government still stronger.
Here’s what you can do. Send todaj? for
the FREE booklet, "Will We Be Ready?”
This booklet gives the rousing story be
hind the Hoover Report—the startling
facts it disclosed—the wonderful progress
it has made. With it you’ll be well prepared
to work for better government—to help
finish a job on which our National Security
may well depend.
The Hoover Commission and The Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report
•)
The Hoover Commission was created
unanimously by Congress in 1947 on
i bipartisan basis—6 Democrats, 6
Republicans. The Citizens Committee is
a bipartisan, nonprofit group to en
courage enactment of Hoover Report
recommendations for greater efficiency
