THE BATTALION

[Ags Pitted Against
‘Okie 5 Powerhouse
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Nlws Editor
Ray George’s Aggies will com
bine their best passing and running
attacks Saturday night against the
highly rated Sooners of Oklahoma
University.
The Cadets are expected to greet
the Sooners with the smoothest
showing they have yet displayed
this year. Bob Smith is working
out the bruises he received in the
Cadet’s game Saturday with Tex
as Tech but will be back in his
fullback spot against the Sooners.
Smith will pace the attack with
Billy Tidwell, who has been ab
sent from workouts the past week
as a result of head injuries re
ceived in the Cadets’ opening game
against UCLA.
The leading ground gainer of the
SWC will also be present to add
speed and smoothness to the Ma
roon and White attack. It is Glenn
Lippman, who pounded out 156
yards in 18 tries against Tech.
Lippman—1951 Star
Pre-season predictions offered
Lippman as the 1951 Aggie star.
The statement was based on 'the
idea all defenses would be set up
against All-American Smith, and
Lippman would take the advantage.
Starters for the Cadets will be
the same as in the Tech game ex
cept for Tidwell’s returning to
right halfback. Charlie McDonald
replaced Tidwell in the Tech game
and the two are expected to al
ternate throughout the OU tilt.
Rounding out the backfield will
be Dick Gardemal at quarterback.
Gardemal has called the Aggie
plays for three years and holds the
confidence of fellow team members
and A&M fans.
Charlie Hodge takes on added
chores since the effective Aggie
passing attack was revealed
against UCLA. He has shown his
deceptiveness and receiving ability
in both the previous games and
seems to be the favorite target

A&M Over
Oklahoma
New York, Oct. 4 —(dP)— How
can you concentrate on football
when all you hear is World Series?
But here are the gilt-edge win
ners of this weekend’s big games.
Texas A&M over Oklahoma: Ok
lahoma supposedly has some wor
ries about its line. And which team
has a better battering ram than
Bob Smith of Texas A&M?
Texas over North Carolina: Both
teams come into this inter-sectional
contest with good marks. Texas
has beaten the more rugged foes
and should win here.
Arkansas over TCU.
Rice over LSU.
Tulane over Baylor.
SMU over Missouri.
Ohio State over Michigan State:
the big game of the week, possibly
the big game of the season. Both
teams have hordes of talent and
both have plenty of incentives—
Ohio State the Rose Bowl and
Michigan State the smacking of
another big ten team. The home
field and Vic Janowicz give Ohio
State a thin edge.
for passers Gardemal and Ray
Graves.
At the left end spot may be
Walter Hill, who also will see ac
tion for the first time since the
UCLA tilt. Hill fills in as both of
fensive and defensive end, and will
add power to both squads.
Sam Moses will put his powerful
220 pound frame into action on the
offensive lineup at left tackle. Mos
es also plays first team on the de
fensive lineup, and consistently
stops plays even before they de
velop.
Little—60 Minute Man
Jack Little, another double duty
tackle will face a tough opponent
when he throws his weight into
the Sooner’s co-captain and All-
American Jim Weatherall. Little
hits the scales at 220 while Weath-
crall weighs in at 230, but despite
the extra weight welded by the
Sooner, it looks like a deadlock
at right tackle.
At left guard slot will be Elo
Nohavitza, 5’ 10” and tipping the
scales at 195. Nohavitza has shown
aggressiveness through the year in
both workouts and games. He is
substituted on the defensive team
by Marshall Rush, who rates with
the best in his defensive consis
tency.
Rush is also the man in the right
guard offensive lineup. He weighs
in at 195 and stands 5’ 10”.
Meyer—Also Double Duty
Center Hugh Meyer is also a
double duty player. He is co-capt-
ain with Smith and has been point
ed out by many for All-American
honors.
Meyer also has the tough job as
linebacker, and has handled it in the
past two games with a good dis
play of quick thinking and action.
The Cadets are expected to work
out under the lights tomorrow
night, to sharpen their ball handl
ing for the night game.
Both of the previous tilts were
played at night. This should be
a point in the Cadets’ favor, since
the Sooners have only played one
game. This was against William
and Mary, and was played in the
afternoon. The Oklahoma club was
victor of this performance by a
safe margin of 49-7.

A&M Freshman Football Team
Opens Season Against Blinn

A&M Freshman Coach James
Elolmes displays his 1951 football
team for the first time when the
Fish meet Blinn Junior College
Buccaneers on Kyle Field to
night at 7:30.
As to the chances of his fresh

chosen to remain silent. He is
just hoping that they play better
than they have done in their
practice sessions.
The Fish are loaded with some
of the best players out of districts
all over Texas. They have shown
lots of hustle and spirit and lack

tually playing.

Although Coach Holmes will be

Nickname Is ‘Klepto’
Fish Coach James Holmes
Returns To A&M Campus
By GUS BECKER
Battalion Sports Writer
James Holmes, freshman football
coach, tells an interesting story
about the acquiring of his nickname
—“Klepto.”
But the stoi-y told by his friends
is even more interesting.
It seems that while Holmes was
playing baseball for Arlington
State Junior College in 1922, the
team went to Terrell, Texas, and
played an asylum’s baseball team.
After the game, a fat negro woman
ran up to him and said,” There’s
my Klepto, where have you been,
Klepto?”
Naturally, the name stuck, but

Holmes version of the incident runs
something like this.
The negro woman did say that
but to another player, who with
Holme’s brother* went back to Ar
lington and spread the story in con
nection with the present “Klepto.”
In Holmes’ 15 years of coaching,
he has produced five junior col
lege champions. This, plus the fact
that he has also coached great
teams in high school, made Holmes
an ideal choice for a coach who
could “get along with incoming
freshman football players.”
Holmes returned to A&M last
spring to replace Perron Shoe
maker as freshman coach. Shoe
maker returned to Georgia where
he was to serve as end coach.
It had been a lapse of 18 years
since Holmes had been at A&M.
He graduated from here in 1928,
returning the following year to
coach under Matty Bell.
He left A&M in 1933 to coach the
Cuero High School team. In 1934,
Holmes was head mentor of Alamo
Eleights High School of San An
tonio.
Back to his first alma mater,
Arlington State College, in 1935,
“Klepto” guided the Arlington
State squad to a championship.
He also coached championship
Arlington State teams in 1936,
1942 and 1943.
His teams were second in the
old Texas Junior College Confer
ence in 1940 and 1941. Coach
Holmes was head coach at Arling
ton for 15 years and athletic
director for the last 11.
Holmes entered Arlington in
1920 after playing four years of
football there. “Klepto” came to

Austin, Tex., Oct. 4—(A 5 )—Of

University of Texas workout to

Most of today's work stressed
ground plays, with left halfbacks
Gib Dawson and Jimmy Pace, shif

A team of ineligibles and reser

the freshman team. For the 1926
season he was switched to half
back. That year the Maroon and
White gridiron team won five

the direction of D. X. Bible.
He gained All-Southwest Con

the 1927 team which went unde

he has been coaching.
Brooks Drop
Flag to Giants
Climaxing their sensational
uphill surge that overcame a
131/2 game Brooklyn lead of
Aug. 11 and sent them into a
1 playoff, the Giants snatched
their 16th flag out of the embers
of defeat, downing the Dodgers,
5-4, in the bottom of the ninth
with a three-run homer.
With hope all but gone after
a three-run Brooklyn rally in the
eighth, Bobby Thompson hammered
a line drive into the lower left
field seats on the second pitch
of relief pitcher Ralph Branca.
As a result the Giants go into
the World Series with the New
York Yankees today at Yankee
Stadium.
Trailing 4-1 going into the ninth,
the Giants closed the gap to 4-2
on singles by A1 Dark and Don
Mueller and Whitey Lockman’s
double off the left field wall.
Lockman’s smash knocked out big
Don Newcombe, who had a four-
hitter going into the ninth.
On Branca’s second pitch, Thom
son broke up the ball game and the
pennant race with one swing of
his bat.
Not since the 1914 Boston Brave
miracle men surged from last to
first in a superb finish has a club
rallied like Leo Durocher’s Giants
to win a pennant. And this tops
them all, for the Giants were hope
lessly beat, 13% games behind as
late as Aug. 11.
From that time on they won 39
of their last 47 to snatch the flag
from the fingers of the desparate
Brooks.
