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.

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.

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!

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. For
full details, ask at any Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch.
