Aggies Reveal New
Spread Formations
By BOB SELLECK
Battalion Sports News Editor
Last Saturday night on Kyle Field for the first time in
two years, the Aggies unfolded something different from
their “orthodox” T.
It was in the Baylor game two years ago that the Aggie
grid eleven last used a spread formation of any sort in their
attack.
The Aggies switched from their straight T to various
positions of the single wing, double wing, and spread. This
also included slight spread in the T.
First different move came when the Aggie right half
back, Billy Tidwell shifted behind the end. Later in the game
a full spread formation was used.
However, the first time quarterback Ray Graves ran
with the ball instead of tossing the expected aerial.
Although the new formations were not completely ef
fective this could have well been a sign of things to come. It
has also added deceptiveness to the Cadets already strong
rushing and passing attack.
Orchids to Defense
“Orchids of the Week” go to the platoon” days. He was named the
boys that made up the Cadet de- top Aggie Lineman of the Week
Lineman of the Week
fensive line. They started fighting
as soon as the kick-off started and
never stopped until the gun sound
ed the end of the game.
The results found the highly-
by the Battalion.
The “miracle man” of the Ca
dets is Little Glenn Lippman.
Glenn has carried the ball 41 times
for an astonishing 254 yards which
rated Oklahoma Sooners battered, is almost 50 yards more than his
bruised, and winless.
As usual the combined efforts
of all these boys enabled a few of
them to stand out just a little bit
more than the rest.
Special consideration must be' re
served for Hugh Meyer, co-captain,
and the Aggie’s workhorse. Hugh
played almbst the entire game
which is unusual in these “two-
closest contender as the leading
ball carrier in the SWC^
Lippman also has compiled a 6.2
yard average per try. Only once
has he failed to gain and that
was just a three yard setback.
Last year as a junior Lippman
took the whole season to get 563
yards. This puts him way ahead of
his 1950 schedule.
Tidwell Returns to Action
Another bright spot was the re
turn to action of Billy Tidwell,
who wrecked the “Big Red” line
for 55 yards and supplied the fans
With some real thrills by his eva
sive running.

was watching Bob Smith. It wasn’t
his running that caught our eye
although it was definitely credit
able, but it was his explosive down
field blocking.
Smith threw several key vicious
blocks that helped the other Ag
gie backs break into the Okla
homa secondary.
Saturday night the Aggies were
the masters and really showed class
in beating a good OU team. The
game with Trinity can not be taken
too lightly and the following week
is their conference opener with
TCU.

Hugh Meyer
“Gar” has been named lineman of he week by the Battalion on
both the offensive and defensive teams for his outstanding play
against the powerful Oklahoma University eleven Saturday night.
Credited with tackle after tackle, he was a constant threat to throw
the tricky Sooner backfield for a loss.
Iron Man’ Meyer,
Sixty Minute Man
Co-Captain Hugh Meyer, mem
ber of the Aggiefootball eleven, is
one of the few iron men left in
modern football.
Meyer has been the sixty min
ute backbone of the Cadet line this
season.
A rugged defensive ace, Meyer
doubles as pivot man on offense.
Not satisfied with just centering
'thd'balh'to-the quarterback, Meyer
can’ always be found clearing the
path for the backs with brilliant
down field blocking.
“Gar” as Meyer prefers to be
called, played one of his great
est games against Oklahoma.
He was active in “no-man’s
land and a large number of the
Sooners carried to sidelines were
victims of encounters with Mey
er. Gar served key blocks on
offense to help spring Aggie
backs past the line.
Meyer played only on offense
last year in regular season com
petition. Similar to co-captain
Smith, he was considered too val
uable to be used on defense. '

Based on AP Reports
Texas A&M leads the SWC in
total yards with 1085 in three
games, an average of 366.5 yards.
Arkansas is second with 1080 for
an average of 366.
Conference statistics released

two opponents to an average of
180.5 yards per game. This is 15.5
yards better than second place
Southern Methodist.
The Bears,' speared by the incom
parable Larry Isbell, also have
made 713 yards offensively to rate
third in total yards as well as in
the average. Baylor’s average is
316.
Glenn Lippman of Texas A&M
leads that department with 254
yards on 21 carries.
Yale Lary of Texas A&M leads
in punt returns, running nine kicks
back 170 yards. Bill Howton of
Rice leads in pass receiving, hav
ing caught eight for 160 yards.
Bill Jurney of Arkansas is second
with eight for 152.
was unable to play in the post-sea
son Presidential Cup game because
of a burned hand, Meyer was
called upon to play the entire
game. He hit his stride in this
class and has held the center post
since that time.
Since the platoon system has
hit football, 60-minute performers
have become almost extinct. Even
water-boys are awarded letters.
The only specialty Meyer has
is playing an hour of solid foot
ball in each game which would
do justice to Spartan.
Offensive backs are a meat
that he pulverizes with relish.
Hugh is rarely “carried-out” by
blocking assignments.
Possessing that rare combination
of brains as well as guts, Meyer
specializes in stopping enemy plays
before they get underway.
Off the field “Gar” is quiet and
studious. He must be studious to
maintain an “A” average in petrol
eum engineering. This personable
lad hails from Gainesville, Texas
Hugh tips the scales at'203 and
stands 6-1. He is playing his last
year for the Maroon & White, as
he will be graduated June, 1952.
Hugh received the Lipscomb-
Colson award in 1950 as the
“best blocker” on the Aggie
team.
, Receiving only secondary men
tion as all-SWC center last year,
Meyer is a good prospect for not
only All-conference honors this
fall, but has often been mentioned
as an All-American candidate.
A&M Ranked
Fourth In
AP Polling
New York, Oct. 9—GP)—Texas
A&M climbed from tenth to fourth
place today in national football
ratings. Texas U remained sixth
and Baylor was 12th.
Michigan State still holds as the
No. 1 slot by a small margin.
The Associated Press’ second
weekly nation wide poll gave Coach
Biggie Munn’s Spartans from East
Lansing a 10-point edge on Cali
fornia’s Golden Bears, with Ten-
nesee's Vols not far back in third
place.
Michigan State was ranked first
by 42 of the 112 writers in the
poll and received 971 points on the
basis of 10 points for first, nine
for second and so on.
California was No. 1 on 36 bal
lots and received strong support
for other high positions to roll up
961 points. Tennessee, the pre-sea-
son No. 1 eleven, received 821 tal
lies, with 180 of them coming from
18 first-place selections.
The top three teams were in the
same order in the first poll last
week but Michigan State held a
much larger lead while Tennessee
pressed the Bears for runner-up
honors.
The voters apparently thought
more of California’s 55-14 conquest
of Minnesota than Michigan State’s
come-from-behind 24-20 triumph of
Ohio State and Tennessee’s 26-0
white wash of Duke.
Oklahoma’s 14-7 setback by Tex
as Aggies was disastrous to the
Sooners. Last year’s No. 1 team
dropped from the lofty fourth slot
of last week to 11th with only 102
votes.
Notre Dame, 40-6 victor over De
troit, remained at No. 5.

votes in parenthesis:

Beat Trinity
Sooners Win One
Injuries Bench Tidwell
For At Least 2 Weeks
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports News Editor
Billy Tidwell, star halfback of
the Aggies, received a foot injury
in the Saturday night game with
the Sooners.
He is not expected to be back in
action for at least two weeks, ,b\ft
will probably see duty ill tlie TCU
game Oct. 20.
Tidwell’s services in the Trinity
game this weekend will be greatly
missed. Charlie McDonald is the
most probable to fill in the vacated
right halfback spot.
Other than Tidwell, injuries oh
the team amounted to only slight
bruises and scratches. McDonald
was shaken up slightly but is re
ported to be in good shape for the
Trinity clash Saturday night in
Alamo Stadium.
The Aggies will enter the Tiger
game as favorites. However, out
side predictions have warned that
With Cross-Country
Oklahoma University salvaged
one victory over the Aggies last
weekend. In a whirlwind finish
Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field,
"The "Sooner two-milers beat the
Cadet runners 27-28.
First for the Big Red, was speed
ster Jim Wilkerson, with a time
of 9:48.1. A&M’s Jim Blaine was
right on Wilkerson’s heels with a
9:49.
Charles Hudgins and John Gar-
many took the next two places for
the Aggies.
Ken Cooper, George Gilmbur,
Bruce Drummond and Derrald
Smith finished fifth, sixth, sev
enth and eighth in that order for
OU.
The Aggies picked up three
points when Charles Gabriel and
Dale DeRouen came in ninth and
tenth.
Next Saturday afternoon, the
A&M harriers run another two-
mile event on Kyle Field, this time
a triangular meet with Oklahoma
A&M and TU.

the Gulf Coast Conference school
may present quite a package of
trouble for the Cadets.
Meyer of Trinity
Francis Meyer of the Tigers
poses as a definite threat to click
on any play, and promises to keep
the forward wall of the Farmers
on their toes throughout the tilt.
He is one of the top ground
gainers for Trinity as well as the
Gulf Coast Conference. He also
calls signals for the Tigers on dif
ferent occasions.
Regular Aggie Starters
Leading the Aggie attack against
the Tigers will be the regular
starting backfield with the excep
tion of Tidwell.
Dick Gardemal and Ray Graves
are slated to do the quarterback
ing while Glenn Lippman and Bob
Smith will occupy their regular
spots at left halfback and full
back.
In the line will be Hugh Meyer
at Center, the Cadet stalwart who
makes it a habit of stopping op
ponent plays before they fully
develop.
Tackles will be Sam Moses and
Jack Little, both who presented a
brick wall to almost every Sooner
play in Saturday’s game.
Ends are Charlie Hodge and
Walter Hill who have made it a
habit to be under many of Graves
passes in the last three games.
Finishing out the offensive line
up are Elo Nohavitza and W. T.
Rush. The center of the line is a
spot which showed great improve
ment in the Oklahoma University
game and which promises to be one
of the stronger positions on the
squad.

"I should

Fresh out of Bivalve, N. J., he arrived on the campus all
bug-eyed and his big mouth hanging open. He was
immediately sucked into a “shell game'” and found
himself making all the quick-trick cigarette tests.
But his native instinct told him that such an
important item as cigarette mildness couldn’t
be tossed off lightly. Millions of smokers
everywhere have discovered, too, that there’s but
one true test of mildness.
