U clans Preping
To Stop A&M’s
Running Plans
Aggie Football Co-Captains
“Defense against A&M’s power
ful running attack,” was the plan
receiving its final touches yester
day in Los Angeles, as UCLA Foot
ball Coach Red Sanders put the
Bruins through a tough workout.
Last year, the Uclans held their
opponents to 1313 yards on the
ground while gaining 1681. A&M
allowed its eleven opponents to
travel 1928 yards but covered 2986
yards.
Comparing ^ statistical records
between the ‘two teams, A&M
seems to have a power advantage
over the Bruins.
In passing, the Cadets completed
74 qf 152 attempted areials, with
only 11 going to the enemy. UCLA
completed 86 of 159 but their op
ponents garnered 19 of the Cali
fornians’ passes.

A 40.6 punting average for the
Bruins is slightly higher than
A&M’s 39.0, but the Cadets’ punt-
return average, No. 1 in the na
tion for the 1950 season, is 23.3
to 8.27 for UCLA.
For total points, the Cadets
scored 344 to UCLA’s 196, and ran
up 169 first downs to 119 for Coach
Sanders eleven.
The 1950 Aggie eleven won six
games and dropped four in regular
season play while the Bruins won
from six opponents and lost to
three of them.
A&M opened the 1950 season
routing Nevada 48-18 and the next
week stomped Texas Tech 34-13.
The following week, the Cadets al
most pulled the upset of the year,
losing in the waning seconds to a
strong Oklahoma team. The fol
lowing week they walked over Vir
ginia Military Institute 52-0.
Score Six TD’s
Against TCU in their conference
opener, A&M scored six TD’s and
a like number of extra points for
a 42-23 victory although the
Horned Frogs led, going into the
final quarter.
The week following the TCU bat
tle, the Baylor Bears showed their
power, upsetting the Aggies 27-
20 as Bob Smith was lost early in
the game because of a broken nose.
The Cadets found their winning
ways against Arkansas as they
rambled to a 42-13 triumph and the
following Saturday, in one of the
most thrilling games ever played
in the Southwest, upended SMU
25-20 as Smith went on a rampage,
scoring two touchdowns and rolling
to 297 yards in 29 carries.
Lost To Rice
The jubiliant Aggies returned
to Kyle Field and in a game that
was supposed to be won by the
Aggies by some two TD’s, they
instead lost by a 13-21 count to
the Rice Owls.
Next in line was the battle with
arch-rival Texas. The Aggies, in
a battle of lines, were sunk, 17-0
as Byron Townsend and Ben Tomp
kins joined forces for two touch
downs and extra points and a field
goal.
In a post-season contest against
the Georgia Bulldogs in the Presi
dential Cup Bowl Game, Washing
ton, D. C., the Aggies steam-rolled
Wally Butts’ crew 40-20 as Smith
again went on a rampage. He total
ed 306 yards in 24 offensive plays
that December day.
Won Two Easily
The Bruins opened the season
last Fall by downing Oregon 28-0
and whitewashed the team from
Washington State, 42-0. The Wash
ington Huskies squeeked out a 21-
20 win from the Uclans the next
week and Illinois tripped them 14-
6 the week after that.
Against Stanford, the Bruins hit
the win column as they bowled
over the Indians 21-7. The follow
ing week the Uclans traveled to

Aggie Harriers To Open
Season Against Oklahoma
“Our team will be as good
and probably better than last
year’s,” Col. “Andy” Ander
son said concerning the chan
ces of this year’s Aggie cross-
countify team.
The Aggie harriers open their
1951 season with a two-mile race
against Oklahoma University just
before the A&M-OU football game
Saturday night, October 6.
Coach Anderson has only one
two year-letterman, John Garmany,
and a one-year letterman, Charles
Hudgins, returning this Fall.
Charles Gabriel is a track letter-
man. Supplementing the squad will
be Emil Omo, Cliff Schaefer, Al
ton Terry, Ed Wildsen, James
Blaine, and Dale DeRouen.
Last year’s harriers finished sec
ond to Arkansas’ in the SWC com
petition. In the years ’47-’49, the
Aggies were on the top of the
conference.

By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Writer
Big Jack Little, who was not
considered as a good college foot
ball prospect, is now the brightest
spot in the tackle position on the
1951 Aggie grid machine.
Far from representing his name,
Little supports 220 pounds of erid
dynamite on a not so little o-^/z
frame.
Since his first appearance at
A&M, he has developed into one
of the outstanding lineman in the
Southwest Conference.
A pro scout labeled him as the
most promising tackle prospect in
the Conference after looking over
some game pictures from last
year.
Little began his football car
eer when he playeed tailback
on his junior high team in Cor
pus Christi. However, he ran into
difficulty making the starting
roster, and for a good reason,
since his brother, Gene, occupied
the spot.
Gaining weight in his second
year at junior high, Little decided
he would put this extra poundage
to work and started working at
tackle.
When he entered high school, he
was already a husky lad, weigh
ing in at 180 and standing 6-3, but
his brother was still holding the
spotlight in front of him.
However, after Gene graduated,
Jack had no trouble stepping into
starting position, playing both of
fensive guard and defensive tackle.
At the insistence of some of
the Aggie exes in Corpus, Lit
tle began to look the colleges
over. He finally chose A&M be
cause of some of his buddies.
When Little arrived at A&M,
he was told he might as well pack
up and take the next train back to
Corpus, because there was an all-
state tackle at that time on the
freshman team who was a demon.
When the dust settled, Little
was found to be the demon while
the all-state tackle wound up on
the' second team.
Jack was named to the second
team, all-SWC last. winter as a
defensive tackle, and from the im
provement he has shown so far
this- year, he will be a chief candi
date for the first team on both
offense and defense.
As a Freshman, Jack also let
tered on the track squad at the
discus and the shot put. He
failed to letter this year on the
track squad by a very narrow
margin of one point.
Little Mil be one of the Aggies
who will wear the new plastic
face guards. He says he lost a
tooth last Fall but he doesn’t in
tend to do so again.
Jack married his high school
sweetheart, Nancy Bronson, Aug
ust 4, 1950. He is a Physical Edu
cation major with a strong C aver
age, and plans to graduate in June
of 1953 when he intends to play
professional football. •
After this he says he would like
very much to enter the coaching
profession.

Layfayette, Ind. Sept. 19—(TP)—
Purdue University disclosed today
it has given head football Coach

assuring Holcomb a 13-year ten
ure.
Dr. Hovde said Holcomb’s ori
ginal five-year contract was ex

was a personal matter between the
