Tuesday, November 20, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Fish Battle Shorthorns In Shrine Tilt Saturday By GUS BECKER Battalion Sports Writer * A&M’s Freshman football team will be out to take the “big one” Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium in Austin where they meet the Texas University Short- hfrns. This will give the Freshman teams the spotlight as the Varsity’s have a ten day rest to prepare for their Turkey Day battle on Kyle Field. The game is sponsored by the Ben Hur Shrine Temple of Aus tin and Brazos Valley Shrine Club of Bryan. This is the fifth game sponsored by the Shrines, and they expect a record crowd — around 20,000 spectators. If the game attracts this many Joel Smith QB fans it Will set a new attendance record for the Freshman game, the previous record was in the ’49 clash when 16,000 watched the game. TIT Fish Favored The Aggie Fish will be the un derdogs in the contest because of the loss of key persons and the Shorthorns impressive victory over the TCU Wogs last week 34-14. The TU Frosh gained 408 yards rushing against the Wogs which the Maroon and White Fish barely edged put earlier in the season 27 to 26. A<fcM’s Fish will enter the Satur day battle with a better season record than the Shorthorns who have been able to break even this year while the Aggie Freshmen have only one defeat on the record. Among the Aggie fish victories is a 40 to 20 trouncing of the Bay lor Cubs, a team which ran over the Texas first year men 25 to 7. The game Saturday will be the “rubber” game of the Shrine ser-' ies in which each has Won two, the Shorthorns taking the ’47 and ’50 contests while the A&M Fish took the ’48 and ’49 battles. Proceeds from the game will be used to operate the Shrine’s Crip pled Children’s Clinic at Bracken- ridge hospital in Austin, where any needy crippled child is given free medical attention. Tate Out Of Action Marvin Tate, a sterling guard for the Aggie Freshmen, has been ad vised by doctors not to play be cause of his recent attack of the mumps and will not see any action. Last year the Shorthorns rolled over the A&M Fish 46 to 6 in the largest score ever rolled up in a Fish-Yearling game. Other than Tate, the rest of the Fish squad seems to be in good shape for the tilt, barring any fur ther practice injuries. A high-powered offense which racked up over 300 yards per game in their first three games for the Maroon and White Fish was stop ped cold by the Owlets which held the Aggie Fish to 151 yards on the ground and in the air. Edward Kachtik, Rio Hondo flash, was injured in scrimmage be fore the Owlet tilt and played only one down. Kachtik is the leading scorer on the A&M Fish team. Self Shows Speed Little James Self, all-state half back from Wichita Falls, displayed his amazing speed to be the of fensive star for the Aggie Fish in the 20 to 7 loss to the Owlets. Self turned in several nice gains for 12 and 15 yards. A good prospect to replace Yale Lary, Aggie punting specialist, was discovered in the defeat, as Gerald Sandusky, right halfback from Bronte, booted the ball eight times for a 40.0 average. Sandusky also shone on defense as he made seven clean tackles with four assists while playing only a part of the defensive time. An excellent job was turned in at the linebacker spot by Billy McGowan, a Silsbee product, who was in on 19 tackles, seven of them clean. Hopes For Light Injuries Fish coach “Klepto” Holmes said this morning that he wouldn’t know his starting lineup until a day or so before the contest, but he hoped injuries Would be light and everyone would be in shape for the game. The probable starting lineup will include Henry Clark at left end, who hails from Mesquite and who caught the pass that led to the lohe Aggie Fish score in the Owlet game. At right end will be Bennie Sin clair, from Mineola, who is the Lippman Remains Top Ground Gainer Leighton Stars As CHS Wins District Jerry Lightnin’ Leighton scored 24 points against Lex ington Friday night on Tiger Field as the Consolidated Tigers won the District 24-B Championship with a 51-13 victory over the cellar dwelling Eagles.

Guard posts are yet undetermin ed as this spot has had more in juries than any other position. Possibilities are Sidney Theriot, a fine guard from Terrebonne, Lou isiana and Lawrence Winkler a 200 pounder from Temple. Henry Arnett, who was injured before the Owlet game and Ray Barrett who injured his hand in that contest have been pronounced ready to play by Aggie trainer, Bill Dayton, and will probably see quite a bit of action. Big Center In the pivot spot for the Ag gie Fish will be Leo Marquette, from New Orleans, who has show ed up well in the games played so far. In the man under position for the Maroon and White Freshmen, will possibly be Edgar Hennig, a Tyler lad, who has thrown a lot of the Aggie Fish aerials this season. Sam Howard, a New Braunfels product, and Joel Smith wall pro bably see a lot of action in the game, also. The backfield will see either Self or Kachtik at one halfback, with Sandusky at the other. Powerhouse Virgil Patton, from Oklaunion should be the starter at the fullback spot.
