Battalion Sports Staff
Dorm 16 still shares a portion of
the first pla,ce laurels by virtue of
downing Dorm 15 yesterday after
noon 5-4.
Dorm 15 drew first blood in the
game as Bruce Miller came across
in the first to score. Miller got on
base with a fielder’s choice and
then came on in when Cody Milli-
can got a solid single.
First tally for 16 came in their
portion of the second when they
managed to get a man over the
plate. Alex Pergues went to first
after getting a bingle. Pergues
scored when Bill Groff hit a fly
into deep right. He touched the
base and then streaked on in to
pay dirt after Carrol McCoy had
snagged Groff’s fly.
The third inning saw 16 scor-
3 ing again. Will Hovel made the
tally after Millican, 15 short
hobbled a ball that was hit by
Bob Nance. Hovel scored for the
men from 16 again in the fifth.
* Miller, 15 pitcher, threw a big
fat one over the plate and Hovel
^^got a piece of it big enough to
stretch into a home run.
Dorm 15 made a mark in the
score book again iif the sixth.
Bruce Pruett, Dorm 16 pitcher,
got credit for two RWPs as Lynn
Hiller and Irwin Engle were forced
on home as he walked three men
in a row.
Two more runs were gained by
Dorm 16 in their portion of the
seventh. Hovel got on base when
Carey Deckard, 15 third, mishandl
ed the ball. The hit of the game
was Jerry Chapman’s little single.
After Hovel crossed the plate,
Chapman came home to score what
proved to be the winning run.
Dorm 15 just couldn’t seem to
get a rally started in their por
tion of the seventh. They man
aged to get three men on base
y. with walks and Miller even came
in to score but again it was too
little too late.
Final standings after the dust
cleared was Dorm 16 six hits, five
■ runs and two errdrs while Dorm 15
got two hits, four runs and three
irrors.
Pruett got credit for the win

with C Co. by a -split decision as

THE BATTALION
On the Gridiron
TCU Will Depend
On Bartosh For
Offensive Punch

By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
Anderson
In a column in yesterday’s Battalion, we discussed the
possibilities of the Aggie gridiron forces for the coming sea
son. In today’s article, we would like to present prospects of
1 TCU, furnished by Amos Melton of the TCU
1 publicity department.
Leo R. “Dutch” Meyer, TCU’s head
coach will start the season with 63 players,
| barring late losses via draft or last minute
| withdrawals. There are five quarterbacks,
1 eight fullbacks, 11 halfbacks, five centers,
11 guards, 12 tackles and 11 ends on the ros-
| ter. The team will not be a “big” one—the
line will average about 200 pounds and the
backfield around 180.
Twenty one experienced men who have
earned 29 letters will comprise the bulk of
the team. Four of last year’s key posts were manned by
sophomores on the offensive team who will return with a
year’s added experience. Those positions are quarterbacks,
fullbacks, one end and a center. This fact should give the
club more poise. One non-veteran is slated to crash the start
ing offensive team. He is Jack Ramsay at left guard. Ramsay
was a squadman last season.
The Frogs definitely will operate as offensive and de
fensive units this Fall. The defensive men will know only
enough offensive signals to fill in on attack if badly needed.
Two formations are planned for this Fall. They are the “Meyer
Spread” and a modified double-wing. Last Fall’s trial at a T-Wing will
be abandoned for the time being." The Spread, which gained much
popularity in the Southwest last season, is run from a balanced line
with guards and tackles in normal position or split slightly out as the
defense demands. The ends are split out several yards from the
tackles. The halfbacks are stationed in the split between tackle and
end a yard back. The fullback takes position in line with the
halfback (to either the right or left) and the tailback is in normal
position.
In the double-wing, the position of the fullback may be varied.
From both formations, the Frogs can get their pass receivers out
quickly and into many patterns. The passing game will be stressed al
though the club will also be able to run fairly well.
Bartosh Will Again Lead the TCU Team
Gilbert Bartosh, the “Granger
Ghost” will lead the Frogs in
their quest for the SWC title. He
will lead both the ground and air
attacks. The veteran Dan Wilde
(pronounced will’ dee) will back
him up with Danny Powell, up
from the freshman squad, as the
number three man. Bartosh com
pleted 77 of 150 tries last Fall
and ranks among the top threats
to set new offensive yardage marks
combining his rushing ability with
the passing.
Bartosh will have top flight re
ceivers in veterans Wilson George
and Teddy Vaught at ends; Bob
by Jack Floyd, John Harville, Mal-
vin Fowler, Glen Jones and John
ny Medanich (med’ uh nik), backs.
The ground game looks pretty
good with Bartosh, Floyd and a
few others carrying the mail. Bar
tosh and Floyd carried the brunt
of the plunging last season and it
appears they will do so again this
Fall. Floyd is a 200-pounder from
Paris who will be remembered for
his hurdling ability, per the A&M-
TCU game last Fall on Kyle Field.
Bobby McFarland and; Wilde will
be back to handle the punt chores.
Homer Ludiker, kickoff and field
goal specialist for three yeays,
will not be back. He’s due to be
replaced by Keith Flowers, a sen
ior and Bill Sitton, a big soph full
back from Fort Worth.
Meyer is hoping for a better
defense than last year. The
1950 aggregation was rather por
ous, allowing ten opponetntsi 2,793
yards. He is planning extensive
work with his defenses, trying sev
eral different maneuvers to cut
down the damage.
Defensive line positions seem to
be well-manned although the loss
of the Moorman twins will hurt
noticeably at the terminal posts.
Letterman Charley Rogers and
Wayne Martin may get the job
done. They are juniors. Doug
Conaway is back at left tackle and
a young soph, R. C. Harris of Ver
non, is. slated to hold down the
right side slot. Herbert Zimmer
man, a standout senior, will be at
one guard with Bill Buck, a letter-
man junior, at the other,
Defensive Backfield Mostly Sophomores
The defensive backfield will
more than likely be an all-sopho-
more group with Senior Flowers
serving as defensive signal-caller
and linebacker.
“If” is the big word around
Horned Frog land this seeason. It’s
all based on knee operations since
last Fall. The big “if” is Bar
tosh. “If” the “one-legged” man
can produce on two like he did the
latter stages of the 1950 season,
he will undoubtedly he a standout.
Consolidated Plays
Six Home Games
A&M Consolidated High School
Tigers will play six home football
games this year out of ten games
scheduled. The Tigers had a fairly
unsuccessful season last year as
they won three, lost Eve and tied
one.
Four of the six conference games
will be played- here which will
give the Consolidated squad an
advantage.

Other “Ifs” are Fowler, Flowers
and Bobby Harding. Fowler was
cut down in the first three min
utes of the opening game last year.
His and Flower’s knees were given
special attention this Summer, for
a great deal depends on the out
come of the key men in the offen
sive and defensive lineuns.
In summarizing, the Frogs
should have adequate manpower
with fair experience for the start
ing team and fairly good replace
ments. The quarterbacking, pass
ing and running will be “excellent”
if Bartosh stands up. Otherwise it
will be “fail-.”’ Prospects point to a
slightly stronger squad than the
1950 outfit.

Ags Beat Gauge With
Eighth liming Marker
The Aggie Softballers pulled one
out of the fire last night as they
tallied a, ran in the bottom of the
eighth inning to score a hard-
earned 2-1 victory over Gause.
A single by Bill Campbell sent
Will Hovel scampering home with
the winning marker after two men
were out.
Gause touched Bryan Beard for
only one hit, a single that drove
in their only run in the third inn
ing. Stratta had walked to start
the frame, moved to second on a
passed ball and scored when
Brooks, Gause centerfielder, drill
ed, one into the big field.
That lone ran loomed big to
the Aggies as they failed to score
Until the fourth frame. Campbell
also figured in this scoring as he
led off with a single and moved
on around the base path on an in
field out, a fielder’s choice and a
single by Mack Howell.
The Ags threatened in the fifth
frame as Hovel tripled after two
were out but he was left stranded
as Jewell McDowell grounded out
to- end the inning.
The game rocked along all knot
ted up until the bottom of the
eighth when the Aggies decided it
was getting late enough and time
to go home.
Beard had the Gause players
baffled as he sent 15 of them down
swinging and allowed only four
men to get past first base.
The Aggies nicked Abbott for
nine hits including a double by
Leuzen that was wasted when he
tried to stretch it into a triple and
w T as thrown out at the hot comer.
McDowell rapped out two sing
les as did Campbell. Hovel also
collected a single to go with his
triple.
A1 Rollins was the only man, to
bite the air but the Cadets were
unable to score as the Gause team
played air-tight defensive ball.
Last night’s game marked the
end of the season for the Aggies,
Barney Welch, team manager, said
this moming. The season record
of 11 wins and a like number of
losses doesn’t appeal', on the sur
face, to be very successful but the
Aggies were matched against some
of the top outfits in the country.
Representatives of this is Bab
bit Realty of Houston, one of the
top ranking teams in the state;
the Madisonville All-Stars, one of
23 teams represented at the Ameri
can Softball Association meeting,
going on in Brownwood; Nedbal-
eks Service Station and several
other top teams.
Beard, the mainstay of the team
for most of the Summer, has ac
cepted an offer to hurl for the
Madisonville team at the ASA
meet.
