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

■Lonnie Martin the big 220

at one tackle post while Lyman

at the other tackle slot.
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.
