Tuesday, August 21, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 On the Gridiron Itice No Pushover; Trinity Will Be Better Than in ’50 By ANDY ANDERSON Battalion Sports Editor (Editors Note:—Since this is to be the second from last issue of The Battalion, we are forced to cram two 1951 football outlooks into this column. We finally received information from both Rice and Trinity but as yet, have to hear from Baylor, Oklahoma and Arkansas, in the final article tomorrow, we will deal with The Uni versity of Texas.) Sports Director at the Institute, Bill Whitmore has compiled a rather complete brochure and it is from this i information we are basing our article. Football at Rice Institute in Houston is on the upgrade after a rather dismal season in 1950 when they lost four games in Con ference play to wind up in fifth place, tied with SMU. From the standpoint of experience, Rice is almost completely without as they have only 16 lettermen returning and only eight of them are seniors. The Owls will have to depend on youth to furnish the bulk of the team and count on 60 percent of the team being composed of sophomores. - --- The team will be built around these ^|ht seniors and with an exceptional freshman team last year, most of which showed great promise in Spring drills, Neely could come up with a first class team that might finish higher than the sixth or seventh spot for which most of the sports writers have them pegged. Losses from the 1950 team were not as great in numbers as from the 1949 team but proven manpower lost might well be disastrous. Gone are men like Vernon Glass, Sonny Wyatt and George Giauser ^ the starting offensive backfield; Lee Stonestreet, Ike Neumann, Giroksi, Bob Winship and Frank Allen—all linemen regulars. Owls To Use Standard T-Formation Anderson from Paul As in the past, the Owls will employ the standard T with man- in-motion and pitch-out plays be ing of top choice by the quarter backs. More than likely, the type of play will be framed around the small, fast, elusive backs who have * speed to burn. This will enable them to get loose for long runs rather than try to blast through the line. , Soph fullback “Kosse” Johnson is the only real line-smashing type around. The offensive backs gen- rrally are quite a bit faster and quicker than the ’50 crew, but lack the know-how of that veteran j, r roup. Billy Burkhalter is the only bona fide backfield offensive regular returning and in Spring training he switched to a new post of full back part of the time in an experi ment. The replacement for Glass at the quarterback post is rated a tossup with the battle among four men with possibly Leroy Fenste- maker having: the edge, based on performance in Spring workouts. The defensive line looks pretty good as the numbers and size in- * dicate. They will be both larger and greater in number than in 1950. Although inexperienced men are in line for the jobs on the de fense, line coach Joe Davis, with his new assistant Dell Morgan who was head coach at Texas Tech last year, will more than likely come up with a powerful wall, cap able of stopping most ground at tacks. The defensive backfield is caus ing most worries in the Rice camp and it is here that most of the time will be probably be devoted. Three or four men played a little on defense last year but showed little promise at knocking down enemy aerials due to lack of height. Backfield coach “Pappy” Grigg has his work cut out for this Fall in teaching defense. In the kicking department it looks like Johnson, the sophomore, will likely win out over Billy Burk halter, Don Drake and Buddy Grantham. Fenstemaker may get the conversion job although in Spring drills he was inconsistent, missing four straight one week and then converting five out of five the next week. Left-footed Sammy Burk might win the job in the Fall. Soph Brooks Ziegler is in line for the kickoff duties. He booms them out a long way though not very accurate.

Houston Trinity Should Be Better Than in 1950 Former Aggie Line Coach W. N. "Bill” James hopes for a much improved team over the 1950 ag gregation that won five, lost four and tied one. “There is sounder execution of fundamentals, greater depth in manpower and more experience. The line play is expected to im- ^urove and the backfield, from pre- J^Ant indication, is almost, if not ^^uite, on a par with last year’s,” Coach James says. Trinity, which has an enrollment , of about 1,100 students, is looking } for approximately 45 varsity can didates to report for training on Sept. 1. “Uncle Bill” will have, return ing and new inclusive, eight ends, six tackles, four guards, one (?) center and 11 backs of more or less experience, plus some addi tional candidates as yet unclassi fied and untried. The 1951 team as a whole is fairly well experienced. Nineteen lettermen are expected—or hoped for; five ends, four tackles, three guards and six backs, but with slight prospect of a seasoned per former at center. Tiger speed, although not speed merchants, is expected to be fm*- nished by Klaus, Timm, Meyer, Schott and Scallorn. Glenn Scallorn, a two-year let- lerman blocking back will again call the plays that make the team function with Skippy Jobson, a three-year numeral winner calling the defensive setup. The passing game appears “just fair” with Dalton Klaus probably tossing the long ones and J. R. Nail, lobbing the short ones. Klaus will handle the booting chores as well. Backfield candidates seem to be j capable enough but lack the need- • ed break-away spurt that is re quired to get the job done in a 1 hurry. The pass defense is ques tionable. A Trinity’s Tigers or the Maroon and White as some call them, are jnore experienced in the forward wall than at any other phase al though somewhat short on weight in the three middle positions. The pivot post is as yet undecided. Recently in one of the San An tonio papers, one of the sports- writers posed the question “Can Trinity upset the Aggies?” Going out on a limb at this early stage we predict the score of the con test to be 34-7, A&M in front. 1951 TRINITY SCHEDULE Date Opponent Site Sept. 15 West Texas Amarillo 22 Texas A&I San Antonio 29 Hardin-S.

Tigers Win 2; Take Second Place Tie Co-holders of second place in College Station Summer Softball League are the Tigers who yester day afternoon won two decisions from the Giants to command that position. In a game that was a continua tion of a 10-10 tie, halted last Monday by darkness after five in nings, the Tigers scored one run in the eighth inning to gain a 11- 10 decision. The second tilt, held, to five in nings by darkness also went to the Tigers by an 8-6 count. Bill Camp bell was charged with both losses while the wins went to Curtis Hol land. Final standings showed the Pi rates in front with 8-1, the Tigers and Indians deadlocked with 4-5 records and the Giants trailing in the cellar with a 2-7 won-loss rec ord. Remember Tire Rotation • No matter how skill fully you drive, the rear tires of your car will wear much more rapidly than the front ones. That’s why it’s so impor tant to rotate tires to equalize wear — make them last longer. Let us rotate your tires now! sKEEP IT RIGHT Inside and Out.

Corner of Campus PHONE 4-4792 ■ 4t'' ■y: ere’s a money-earning opportunity for you Now—a new law lets your maturing Series E Bonds go oh earning for you ten years longer! And you don’t have to do a thing! are you one of those patriotic .lX C’fdzens who began buying—• and holding—Series E Bonds back in 1941? Now your govern ment is going to reward your faith with a chance for your bonds to earn extra money—over and above what you’d expected! According to the bill passed by Congress last spring, it is now possible for your United States Series E Bonds to continue earning in terest ten years longer than was originally planned. Therefore, if you started an automatic bond saving plan, and helped your coun try at the same time, you can look forward to ten years more of effortless earning from the bonds you bought! For example, a Series E Bond which cost you $18.75 in 1941 will pay you $25 in 1951. But if you hold that bond ten extra years, until 1961, it will pay you $33.33, an average inter est of 2.9%. And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do. You need not exchange the bonds you have. You need not sign any paper, fill out any form. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping them. You may still redeem any Series E Bond at any time after you’ve owned it for sixty days. (The tables on this page show what you can get for it.) But, unless you really need the cash you’re much better off to hold your bonds; they are a paying method of saving. Bonds are safer than cash! Cash is too easily spent on nonessential things. And if you lose or accidentally destroy it, you’re out that much money. But when you have cash in Defense Bonds, you’re more apt to hold on to it. And if your bonds are lost or destroyed, the Treasury will replace them for you at no cost or loss to you. The cash you have in bond sav ings is safe and solid; and it’s steadily growing toward a sum big enough to buy something really worth while when the proper time comes—a home, a business, a retirement fund, an education for your children. So if you have bonds coming due, take advan tage of this new offer of your government- just sit back and let them go on making money. Meanwhile keep adding to your sav ings by buying more United States Defense Bonds regularly—through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. r / If you want to be paid yoilr interest as current income— y The new law also allows you to exchange your Series E Bonds, in blocks of $500 or more, for Special Series G Bonds which pay interest semiannually at the rate of 2H % per year.
