Flashy Running, Weak Defense
Highlight Aggie Scrimmage
By BOB SELLECK
Battalion Sports Staff
Sparkling long runs, two of them
for 100 yards, were reeled off by
flashy A&M backs Saturday in
their last heavy scrimmage before
they tangle with the UCLA Bruins
this Friday night.
Glenn Lippman and Billy Tid
well, key speedsters in the Aggie
offense each returned kickoffs the
full 100 yards for scores. Yale
Lary scored on a 70-yard punt re
turn, and Augie Saxe returned an
other kick for 60-yards.
All was not a bed of roses for
the Aggies as Coach Ray George’s
pleasure was dimmed some by the
spotty defensive performances
against single wing plays.
Use T Offense
Coach George spent time with
several different backfield combin
ations running plays from the T
offense A&M will use against the
single wing attack used by the
Bruins.

UCLA Bruins Show Strength
In Preparation For Aggies
Coach Red Sanders had split the
niore than 00 UCLA football candi
dates into two camps as the Bruins
went into their second full week of
fall practice, with 50 being named
to the varsity squad.
With the big season opener
against highly-rated A&M in the
Los Angeles Coliseum on tap for
this Friday night, the Bruins are
undergoing the full practice treat
ment, including tough scrimmages.
There’s little doubt the Aggies
will give the Bruins their hottest
opening game test in history. A&M
is ranked right near the top na
tionally, . being listed at the No.
6 spot in the recent Associated
Press pre-season poll. The Bruins
were placed No. 28 on the AP list
ings.
Always Finish High
This low ranking shouldn’t faze
Bruin fans, however, as Couch

higher than they were picked in
the pre-season selections.
The 1951 Bruins will be led by
their last year’s All-American
tackle Don Moomaw. Moomaw
gained nationwide acclaim and hon
ors last year as a sophomore line
backer. Dynamic Don was used
only qn defense but Coach Sanders
also plans to use him at offense
tackle during the 1951 campaign.
The UCLA first-stringer showed
lots of scoring power by over
whelming the junior varsity by the
fabulous count of 82-0 last week
end, tallying touchdowns by long
drives and runs along with passes
in a full scale scrimmage.
Narleski—Sharp
Teddy Narleski, shifty first-
string tailback, looked mighty
sharp as he grabbed the pigskin
on a kickoff and sped 100 yards
to a TD. Paul Cameron, a sopho
more whiz, and Joe Sabol, veteran
wingback, also turned in sparkling
kickoff and punt returns 'of'91 dltd
75 yards, respectively.
A couple of power-runnjng full
backs—Bill Stits and John (Gappy)
Smith—also showed to advantage
in the weekend scrimmage. They
shone brightly while UCLA’s vet
eran fullback, Luther Keyes, was
sitting it out because of a knee
injury.
Hal Mitchell, high-spirited sen
ior tackle from Lawndale, Calif
ornia, has been elected Bruin foot
ball captain. This 210-lb. two y6ar
letterman is slated to play both on
offense and defense and is a
strong All-Coast candidate.
O’Garro In Spotlight
A new Bruin has really caught
the eye of the coaches is Peter
O’Garro, the 6 ft., 3 in. Riverside
JC transfer who weighs 190
pounds. He catches passes with re
markable ease and figures to give
Herb Lane, a talented letterman at
left end, a real battle for starting
honors.
Coach Sanders has named only
three outstanding fi’eshman grid-
ders to the varsity roster, which
included 22 lettermen. They are

ARTHRITIS
UnniM Claim 11$ lltip Broken!
Dear Friend:
Do you have Arthritis? Have you a relative or friend that
is suffering from this painful, distressing ailment?
I came upon a simple remedy, that ended my long search
and battle to rid myself of Arthritis. I had teeth pulled, ton
sils out, serum shots, electric fever treatments, special built
shoes, hot baths, pills and salves. The Arthritis withstood
them all and examination in several of the best known clinics
could detect nothing. Finally I discovered Sulgly-Mindl. Today
after seven months I am more free of pain and soreness than
at any time in twenty years. Can work ten hours a day, with
nothing more than tired feet. Legs, hips, back, neck and arms
are practically free of pain and soreness. This has cost me less
than six dollars.
This is all I did, and all you will have to do to try Sulgly-
Minol. Just rub it on the soles of. both feet before going to
bed. A bottle will last about a month and will be enough to
tell whether it will help. If it helps, keep it up for a month,
and after that just as you feel. If my feet feel sore from too
much activity, I rub some on for a night or two. In my opin
ion, the benefits of Sulphur are more sure and complete on
the soles of the ?eet_ The results obtained have been acclaim
ed by many as a Godsend.

Ernie Stockert, superlative pass-

Bruin casualty of last week. He

Trinity Fells
Mighty f TS
Easily, 19 - 7
Trinity’s Tigers have given
proof in their first game of
the season that they will not
offer A&M a “breather” on
Oct."TS'in' San Antonio. Last
year’s Border Conference Champ
ions, West Texas State, fell easy
prey to Trinity’s powerful single
wing attack, 19-7, in the initial
game of the season for each school
last Saturday.
Dalton Klaus, a 195-pound tail
back, led the attack for his Tiger-
mates. Klaus ripped off touchdown
runs of 58 and 56 yards in the
second period. Andy Kalmanir add
er an insurance touchdown in the
third period when he grabbed a
Buffalo punt and scampered 56
yards for the third tally.
West Texas State, a powerful
aggregation, which last year led
the nation in rushing with an aver
age gain of 465.3 yards per game,
was held to a single touchdown
by the alert Tiger defense.
Coach W. N. James Tigers face
three more opponents before they
meet the Aggies in a night game
at San Antonio, October 13.

Meyer One Reason
For Aggies Rating
One big reason why the Aggies
are rated as one of the top teams
is found in center William Hugh
Meyer, known to his teammates
as “Gar.”
Meyer got a football uniform as
an Aggie Fish, not because the
coaches thought he was a good
prospect, but because he was the
first one on the squad to report
out. This fall as a senior Meyer
is tabbed as the Aggies’ best in
the line by A&M mentors.
This 6-1, 208-pound offensive-
defensive star, elected to co-captain
the 1951 football team along with
Fullback Bob Smith, has gained
his. football savvy from many yeai’s
experience, having played the game
sincte he was in the third grade.
Born Sept. 8, 1928 in Gainesville,
the only child of John H. Meyer, a
service owner, Hugh started his
football career as a tackle, then
changed to fullback. In junior high,
he> played both the line and back-
field positions. His first year in
junior high saw him start as a
tackle, but the next year he was
relegated to a substitute tackle. He
weighed abput 130 pounds.
Hugh didn’t restrict himself to

just football as he lettered as a
basketball guard two years. The
final spring he was in school he
tossed the discus far enough to
take first place in the district
meet.
No College Scholarship
He didn’t get a single offer to
play college football so he calmly
choose A&M because of it’s excel
lent petroleum engineering depart
ment. He has maintained an aver
age of better than a B since he
enrolled ih 1947.
Meyer was rated last of the
many centers who were trying to
make the Aggie Fish team in the
early stages, of the season. Coach
Charles DeWare, Jr. tried Meyer
out one afternoon, and the Gaines
ville bby showed up well enough to
start the third game and the rest
of the games that season. He split
time with Bob Bates for enough
itiinutes to letter as an offensive
and defensive center.
In the fall of 1948, Hugh was
relegated to the B team. Bob
Smith, Charles McDonald, Delm'er
Sikes and Dick Gardemal were a
few of the men who were on the
outstanding B team, Meyer deve
loped a ruptured knee cartilage in
spring drills, And the knee was
operated on in the spring of 1950.
Today this knee is stronger than
the other one.
Raring To Go
By the time football started in
1949, Meyer was raring to go. He
was used as a defensive guard for
the first part of the season and in
the final quarter of the LSU game
was shifted to offensive center.
For the past 19 games Meyer hhs
been the starting offensive center.
He and Glenn Lippman were
named outstanding lineman arid
back respectively for their play in
the Rice and' Texas games by the
Aggie coaches.
Meyer played exclusively on of
fensive during 1950 through the
first ten games. It was in the post-
seasop classic against Georgia in
the Presidcritia,! Cup bowl ganie
that Meyer again blossomed as a
defensive star. Jimmy Flowers, the
regular linebacker, was unable to
play because of a burned hand, arid
Meyer was sent in as his replace
ment. He played 55 out of the 60
minutes that day.
Meyer, who received the coveted
Bert Pfaff award as outstanding
blocker on the 1950 team, sincerely
believes A&M will have the best
year since 1944 when they won
seven games and lost three.
supplied the single wing offense
used by UCLA for the Aggie de
fenders. When George started run
ning the Brain offensive plays
against the defenders, Augie Saxe
and Yale Lary grabbed punts and
scored their long rans.
Ray Graves was quarterback for
the number one defensive unit but
Glenn Lippman called the plays.
This experiirient is being tried to
take the pressure off the quarter
backs. Billy Tidwell and Bob Smith
rounded out the first backfield
combination.
Connie Magourik relieved Smith
after the first two or three plays
when Smith was forced to retire
from the rest of the scrimmage
with an injured hand.
Smith To Lead
Again, as it was last year,
Bruisin’ Bob Smith will be leading
the Aggies into what is expected
to be their best year since 1941.
Although great things are ex
pected of the “Maskel Marvel,”
A&M will not limit itself to just

NBC Honors
Aggies Hubert
Pat Hubert, A&M’s All-
America pitcher, was named
“Sandlotter of the Year” by
the National Baseball Con
gress Saturday.
Winning one game during the
national tournament which gave
his team, the Plymouth Oilers, the
national semi-pro baseball title,
Hubert was also named to the
Congress’ All-America team for
the second consecutive year.
Majoring in veterinary medicine,
Hubert completed his conference
eligibility last year. He won 13
Southwest Conference games for
the Aggies and suffered but two
losses t hroughout the year.
He has been named all-confer
ence for the past two years, and
was also voted the most valuable
player on the team.
Beat UCLA
Tom Casagrande, the former
Fordham giant who pitched two
no-hitters for Wilmington, Del.;
also beat the Phillies in an exhibi
tion game. He allowed four hits.
a rtinnirig game. They have been
stressing a passing attack for the
past two weeks in two-a-day work
outs on Kyle Field.
It looks like it will be Dick
Gardemal as the number one quar
terback with Ray Graves right be
hind him. Behind these two boys
will be Delmar Sikes and Roy Dol
lar, a transfer who might be the
trip lad for the Aggiesi in the lat
ter. stages of the season.
At the halfback posts Billy Tid-
yell and Glenn Lippman will be
the starter, with Smith at the full
back slot.
Starting Lineman Unknown
George hasn’t fully decided who
Will be the starting linesmen but
Aggie fans can look for something
like this: Dai-row Hooper and
Charles Hodge on the ends; Sam
Moses and Jack Little at the tackle
slots; Elo Nohavitza and W. T.
Rush as starting guards and Co
captain Hugh Meyer at center.
The defensive lineup looks the
same as last year’s in the backfield
with Yale Lary in the safety role,
Charles McDonald and Augie Saxe
at defensive halfback positions and
Meyer and James Fowleri backing
up the line.
Coach George may use four
tackles in the defensive line with
Little, Dick Frey, Moses and Bobby
Dixon carrying the brant of the
load. The two ends will be chosen
from Walter Hill, Bert Hoegl,
Charlie Saxe, Clinton Gwin and
Hodge.
George’s Debut
This will be the debut of Coach
George as a head coach in the
Southwest Conference, and it is
quite appropriate that he should
start the season in his old stomp
ing grounds, California, where he
served as player and later coach
at the University of Califorriia.
Humble Oil will sponsor the
broadcast of the A&M-UCLA tilt
with Charlie Jordan and Eddie
Barker at the mike. The game will
be broadcast from Los Angeles
Coliseum, Los Angeles, California.
Broadcast time will be 9:20 p. m.
(CST) on stations KPRC, Houston;
WFAA-WBAP, Dallas- Ft. Worth;
