Turkey Day Win
For Aggies Would
V Be Double-Sweet
By FRANK SCOTT
Battalion Staff Writer
Marshall Rush
Guard
Marshall Rush, with his rugged play against the Owls, was one
of the outstanding Aggie players in the Rice game. Only a junior
Rush will be back next year to anchor the Aggie line.
A victory for the Aggies in their Turkey-Day battle with Texas
would be double sweet. First, it would end a Longhorn victory streak
that extends back to 1940 when they smashed A&M’s Rose Bowl hopes
7-0. Second, it would mark the Aggies’ initial conference victory and
perhaps keep them from finishing in the SWC cellar.
Texas will probably be the Aggies’ toughest opponent of the
season. Boasting one of the nation’s finest defensive units, the Long
horns have a well-balanced attack with their improved passing game.
The Steers have won seven and lost two games this season for their
new r coach, Ed Price.
Dan Page directs the Longhorn split-T attack. Last week against
TCU, Page passed for 175 yards and two touchdowns. The Aggies
have been effective in stopping the Split-T attacks of two opponents—
Oklahoma and Texas Tech—but failed to fathom Arkansas’ Lamar Mc-
Han’s split-T assault.
Gil Dawson, halfback, and Dick Ochoa, fullback, will bear watch
ing by the Cadets in the Thanksgiving clash. Ochoa has amassed 482
yards in 99 carries for an average of 4.9 yards per carry this season.
Dawson, who leads in conference scoring with 62 points, is currently
competing with Glenn Lippman for SWC ground-gaining honors.
Don Barton, rounds out the Steer offensive backfield. Barton who
^ runs the 100-yard dash in 9:8, had a field day against the Horned
Frogs, scoring two touchdowns.
Tom Stolhandske, a big Swede from Baytown where he played
fullback, is the leading offensive wingman for the Steers. A terrific
downfield blocker, Stolhandske has caught two touchdown passes
this season. i
Paul Williams, who broke up Kentucky’s Babe Parelli’s passing-
attack, and Don Menasco are the Longhorns’ defensive standouts and
no two finer defensive artists can be found in the country. Menasco,
who is a strong candidate for “all” honors, intercepted two passes
against the Horned Frogs to raise his season total to four.
When you add June Davis and Bobby Dillon to this twosome,
you can see why the Texas defense is so strong. Dillon, who plays
the safety slot for the Longhorns, won the Baylor game last year
with a punt return that gave Texas its seven point margin over the
Bears, June Davis is a terrific linebacker and, as a co-captain, “quar
terbacks” the Texas defense.
Harley Sewell, guard, is the team’s nearest approach to a 60-
minute man. Guided by a sixth sense for the pigskin, Sewell is in on-
nearly every play. Sewell has more than filled Bud McFadin’s All-
American shoes at the guard slot.
Among the other Texas linesmen are Walter Bond, Don Cunning
ham, and J. T. Seaholm. Bond is the youngest player on the squad
and Cunningham is the oldest.
Texas usually brings up a five man front to stop enemy attacks,
with three linebackers to form the secondary and three men back
deep to make a pass defense cloak. The three line backers play in
close) to the line so they can be brought up to form an eight man
front if the situation requires it.
“Next year Old Army” has been the A&M cry since 1940. Members
of the present Longhorn eleven have never tasted defeat at the hands
of the Cadets. It will be the last appearance for such A&M stars as
Bob Smith, Billy Tidwell, Hugh Meyer, Glenn Lippman, Charlie Hodge,
Sam Moses, Dick Gardemal, Elo Nohavitza, and Yale Lary. It will be
their last chance to crush Texas. Can they do it ?
Yale Lary
Left Halfback and Safety
Lary compiled a punting average of 42.5 in the Rice game. In the
second period, Lary punted 70 yards into a stiff 20-mile-per-hour
wind to push the Rice eleven back to theif own five yard line.
