THE BATTALION

Ag Frosh-Baylor
Battle Thursday
UP Back of Week
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports News Editor
The Cadet footballers represent
ing the class of ’55 1 will play their
second game of the year Thurs
day night against the Baylor Cubs.
Kyle Field will be the, scene of
what promises to be one of the
toughest tilts of the season for the
freshman club.
In last week’s victory over Blinn
Junior College, the freshmen un
veiled one of the greatest poten
tial teams ever to set foot on
Kyle Field.
Self of Wichita Falls
James Self of Wichita Falls
showed speed and deception in
last week’s clash when he con
tinually hit the line for any num
ber of yards and ran circles around
the secondary defense when he
broke into the open. Another tal
ent he showed was his uncanny
blocking power so unusual for a
light-weight 150 pounder.
People sat up and took notice
of Self’s instant speed, when in
the first minutes of the second
half he sprinted around end and
met three Blinn tacklers.
As the would-be-tacklers lunged
for Self, they found themselves
alone and the all-state halfback
crossing the goal 50 yards away.
“Self is another Glenn Lippman,”
was the general comment after the
shifty left halfback showed his
heels to the Blinn eleven time after
time.
Patton—Powerhouse
Another freshman showing great
power was Virgil Patton. He pow-
erhoused his way again and again
through the center, off tackle, and
over guard to pick up yard after
yard for the freshmen.
Patton reminded many of the on
lookers of “another Bob Smith” as
they watched him show his power
by running through lineman and
dodging the secondary.
Fullbacks were plentiful and
each one making an appearance
showed promise. Ed Kachtik was
another of these power men who
ran in and out alternating with
Patton.
Smith and Hennig
Joel Smith and Ed Henning were
two more ever hustling backs who
showed dual talents in passing and
running.
Ken Langford of Houston seems
to be the punt returning expert for
the fish eleven, as he also showed
he could deceive tacklers with his
broken field running.
In the line is Marvin Tate, a,
guard from Abilene, who contin
ually set the Blinn backfield for
a loss and stopped plays long be
fore they developed.
This group of freshmen, along
with the others who make up the
class of ’55 fish team, are going
to make it rough for any club they
play to bring home a victory.
However, the two toughest teams
on their schedule seem to be the
Baylor Cubs and the Rice Owlets.
The Cubs will be met here tomor
row night and the Owlets will
play host to the Aggie Fish in
Houston on Nov. 9.

A&M Holds Big Edge Over
Trinity In Past Battles
When the Aggies line up against
the Trnity Tigers Saturday night
at 8 p. m., it will be the 17th time
the two teams have met on the
gridiron.
The first meeting between A&M
and Trinity occurred back in 1902,
with the game ending in a 0-0
deadlock. Since this time, the Ag
gies have come back to win 13 of
the 16 games played with Trinity.
The highest score that the Ca
dets have ever been able to- mus
ter against the San Antonio boys
was a 62-0 count back in 1915.
The only win ever registered by
the Tigers was an 18-0 triumph in
1903, a year in which the teams
played twice. The Aggies had won

Scoring Lippman
UP Back Of Week
By HUGH PHILLIPS
Battalion Sports Writer
Not only in the eyes of every
Aggie follower did Glenn Lippman
shine, but in the eyes of a great
many sports writers for United
Press Association in yesterday’s re
lease of its “Player of the Week,”
and the Aggie’s top ground gainer
was the boy.
“There’s a player on the A&M
varsity this year who can do a lit
tle of everything—not the least of
which is scoring touchdowns,”
voiced the United Press radio re
port.
The 5’ 8” El Campo flash left
quite an impression on the minds
of the Oklahoma Sooners, since it
was he that crossed the. pay-dirt
stripe both times in the game that
knocked the 1950 National Champ
ions from 4th to 11th in the sports
writer’s poll. - ”
. Small For >A Big .Conference
Bven though he only weighs
about 168 pounds, Glenn is all
football player and showed it Sat
urday night in the Aggie-Sooner
game with a nifty run of 25 yards
for the cadets first score through
the OU team and then rammed
his way over from the 1 yard line
for the second counter.
But not only these two times did
he show his stuff, for continuously
through the night the fans were
brought to their feet by knife jab
bing thrusts by the UP player of
the week.
Everyone was surprised last Sat
urday night to find the brown
haired flash to be starting at full
back instead of his usual half-back
spot. Yet, it was not too suprpris-
ing for last year in the Southern
Methodist battle, Glenn played de
fensive guard and did well at it.
A Good Blocker
Also Lippman is considered the
best quick-kicker on the Aggie
team, and a fine blocker who has
thrown many a, key block.
Glenn, a senior at A&M, is tak
ing a rough Mechanical Engineer
ing course and does right well with
his studies. Glenn was married
last June 6th to a home town girl
and they are at present making
their home at College Station.
Glenn used to get nervous be
fore a big game, but he’s now
found the answer to that in his
years with the Aggies.
“I learned to quit worrying about
the game until the time of the
game,’ said Glenn. Quoted the UP
radio report “Our team play Satur
day night was the best since I en
tered college, and I think that is
why we won.”
That’s a modest remark for a
ball player who faked many a
player and left him in his dust, and
leads the Southwest Conference in
ground gained with 254 yards on
41 carries for an average of 6.1.
Beat Trinity
Bill Bellamy
Speaks For
QB Meeting
“Texas A&M should have
beaten Oklahoma by 20
points”, said Bill Bellamy, San
Antonio Express and Evening
News sportswriter. “R a y
Graves looks every bit as good as
Baylor’s Isbell”, continued Bellamy,
in his address to The Battalion
Quarterback Club last night.
Bellamy believes Trinity will
‘give the Aggies a good fight for
the first half in San Antonio, Sat
urday night, but that the Cadets
will trample the Tigers in the
final half.
Films of the Texas Tech-A&M
game were viewed by the armchair
quarterbacks. A Humble film,
“Highlights of 1950 Football,” was
also shown.
Dick Frey, Varsity tackle, was
present to receive his tickets to
the Trinity-A&M game. Dick, win
ner of last week’s Quarterback
Contest, also commented on the
Tech film as it was unreeled.
Next week’s speaker will be Abb
Curtis, popular Southwestern foot
ball official. Curtis will give some
data concerning the new rules gov
erning this year’s play, as well as
some interesting anecdotes con
cerning the hectic life of a foot
ball officials.

Battalion Sports Writer
Odd as it might seem, the A&M
Rifle Team does the majority of
its firing “through the mail.”
“Postal matches” as they are
called, are regular rifle matches
with other teams, except the
teams do not stand' “shoulder to
shoulder” in competition, as one
might expect.
Each member of the Postal
Teams fires a game at his college
rifle range. Score is kept and
rules are observed as if the teams
were actually in a tournament.
A&M’s team score is compared
with those of other righ-ranking
rifle shooting colleges in the na
tion.
“We have beaten West Point art
least once,” said letterman and
Treasurer Lyle Wolfskill.
Took Two First Places
Last year, the crack A&M squad
took first place in both the Fourth
Army Intercollegiate Tourney and
the Fourteenth Air Force Tourna
ment.
The “sharpshooters” placed in
the top three of the annual William
Randollph Hearst Tourney and
fifth place was gathered by the
team in the Southwestern Invita
tional Meet at El Paso.
The Rifle Team is made up of
two divisions—the Army Branch
and the Air Force branch. The
best marksmen, proven by their
“postal scores”, are entitled to
fire on the College Team.
In the past the College Team
has consisted of ten men, hut this
year there is a possibility that fif
teen men may compose the Col
lege Team.
John Rowe—President
The officers of the Rifle team
as elected at the last meeting are
John Rowe, president; “Dusty”
Durrill, executive; Wayne Unrue,

Master Sergeant Reese, coach,
announces that the team has plan
ned three trips. Charleston, S. C.,
home of Citadel, and El Paso, host
of a sixteen-team tourney, will be
the two sites of the. plane-travel
ing Rifle Team.
The last out-of-town match will
be with the poised sharpshooters of
TSCW.
“I have many reasons to believe
that women firing from the prone
position are more relaxed than
men,” remarked Guy Shown, squad-
man.
Tessics Beat Aggies
The Tessie Team eked out a
win over Aggies last year in prone
position firing.
The suspicious part about the
Tessie win is that the Aggie Team
had already bought the trophy and
medals before the match to be
given to the winners.
“This Ag-Tessie match is con
sidered by all to be a good time
match,” commented Lyle Wolfskill.
Following the match, there is
usually a big party.
Returning lettermen of the Col
lege Team include John Rowe, Bill
Swan, Owen Hill, Lyle Wolfskill,
“Dusty” Durrill, Bruce Vanzura,
Jim Blackaller and Wayne Unrue.
Trinity Tigers Ready
For Aggie Power Team
By BOB SELLECK
Battalion Sports News Editor
Trinity Tigers, with one of their
biggest and fastest teams in his
tory, are preparing for their home
battle with the Aggies.
The Cadets, flush over their
Oklahoma victory but shaky over
their fourth-place national ranking
have not been allowed to take it
easy, and are' already going under
full blast . . .
W. N. James, better known to
the football world as “Uncle Bill”,
a veteran of 25 years coaching ex
perience in the SWC is again the
top man in the Trinity coaching
staff. He has coached there for 5
consecutive years.
James first gained fame at North
Side High School, Fort Worth,
and in 1918 to 1921 he played tack
le on the noted “Praying Colonels
of Center College, Kentucky the
“Wonder Team” of that era.
Among his teammates were Mat
ty Bell, athletic director at South
ern Methodist University, and Bo
McMillin currently head coach of
the Philadelphia Eagles, member
of the National Professional 1
League.
The Tiger head mentor will not
be a stranger to the ways of A&M.
He served as line coach for the
Cadets for 13 years before resign
ing in June 1947 in order to de
vote his time to his private busi
ness interests, which included
Camp Stewart, a large summer
camp for boys near Kerrville, Tex
as. Shortly thereafter he went to
Trinity.
James also coaches Chester
Weidman, Houston Wheeler, Hert
Turley, and Bill Mahan on his
staff to help get his Trinity Tig
ers ready for the Aggies this com
ing Saturday night.
Sixteen returning lettermen form
the basic foundation of the Trin
ity eleven. Nine of these lettermen
compose the unusually big Tiger
line.
The remaining seven give the
squad experience in each of the
backfield positions.
Returning Lettermen
Heading the list of returning
linemen is end Noel Caldeira, Mer
cedes, Texas. Caldeira is a 5’ 10”
175 pound defensive star. He is a
fast, smashing type and a nifty
pass catcher.
Tommy Majors, another end,
plays mostly defense and is famous
for his pass intercepting ability.
A 6’ 210 pound junior Horn Rio
Hondo, Texas fits the description
of Dan Manix, who last year caught
Yale Lary
19 passes for a total of 385 yards.
Manix is one of the best blockers
on the team.
Tackle Campbell Hardin, the real
“workhorse” is 5’ 11”, they call
him “Tiny”, and tips the scales at
240 pounds. For his size he is an
exceptionally quick charger and a
powerful blocker.
Two other lettermen tackles are
Johnny Knoff and Jim Thomas, a
Jefferson High School star. Hold
ing down the guard positions are
Glenn James, Howard Jobson, Wal>
ly Robinson, and Tommy Reves.
The center slot is being manned
by Ed Thomas, last year’s regular
linebacker. The loss of their of
fensive center, Don Hood, will be
felt.
Dalton Klaus is Leading Back
The backs will be sparked by
“Daring” Dalton Klaus, who is‘
really burning up the Gulf Coast
area. Dalton had one of the best
records for gains per try average
last year in the conference.
He carried the ball 121 times for
772 yards and a 5.9 average. He .
also passed for 409 yards, leading
the conference in that department.
This 6’ 195 pound tailback will
be the man for the Aggies to stop
when they take their jaunt to San
Antonio.
The alternate tailback position
will be plaved by A. T. Timm, jun
ior weighing 195. Timm is the most
elusive ball carrier on the team.
With his passing improved he
should make an ideal offense tail
back.
Fullback Francis Meyer return
ing to his same position as in 1950.
He caught 19 passes for 259 yards.
One of the hardest boys on the
team to stop will be Claude Schott,
last year’s regular wingback.
The last, but not in importance,
is their blocking back specialist,
Glen Scallorn, former Brackenridge
High School star. He is also the
signal-caller, general field man and
rated by the coaching staff as most
dependable boy on the squad.

S. A. Club Sets Dance
The San Antonio Club will again
sponsor a dance at Seven Oaks
Club, Saturday night in San An
tonio following the Trinity-A&M
game.
An annual affair, the dance will
have an admission' charge of $1.25
per person. The club has been re
served for the Aggies.
'DMUE-M TKERTRE,
“MY FORBIDDEN PAST”
Kicker Lary
Tops In SWC
Yale Lary, Aggie safety, is the
leading punt returner in the South
west Conference. He has returned
nine punts for 170 yards and has
compiled an 18.8 yard average pel
try.
An excellent job of punting un
der adverse weather conditions was
also turned in by the Cadet half
back. Lary kicked 7 times for a
39.5 average which continued to
place him among the leading punt
ers in the conference.
