Possible Record Crowd, 20,000 Thursday, November 22, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 5 Ag Fish End Final Workouts In Preparation For Revenge By BOB SELLECK Battalion Sports Editor Revenge will be in the minds of the Aggie Fish when they tangle with the Texas Longhorns in the biggest freshman football game t in the nation of 1951. Last year the Austin lads hur ried the young Cadets with a 46- 6 triumph. This year’s battle is not expected to be quite as de cisive either way. The year before, the Aggie freshmen turned back the TU elev en, 13-0, for the first time in Mem orial Stadium since the start of the series. 20,000 People Expected A crowd of between 15,000 and 20,000 is virtually assured for the contest. Not many schools are playing freshman ball this year, and this contest will bring out the largest crowd of the year in the country for a freshman game. Kachtik Selph Most of the major conferences this year permit freshmen to play on the varsity squads. Ever since the Brazos Valley Shrine Club of Bryan and the Ben Hur Temple of Austin took over the sponsorship of the A&M-Texas freshman game back in 1947, this football classic has been the big freshman game of the season, from both excitement and an at tendance standpoint. Rained First Game In the first game of the series fans braved rain and bad weather to accumulate a crowd of 6,000. The spectators have continued to increase each year.

This clash will be the biggest freshman game of the nation. The only other major league playing fish ball is the eastern Ivy League. They have been drawing crowds from 50 to 1,000 throughout the year, the Associated Press has reported. Sinclair Marquette Saturday’s game will be the fifth annual game. As in other contests, proceeds from the game, above bare expenses, will be used to operate the Shrine’s crippled chil dren’s clinic at Brackenridge Hos pital. Tfye Aggie Fish squad has one of the finest backfield combinations among the Fish team in the con ference. All are seemingly capable of filling varsity shoes next fall. Ed Kachtik leads all his team mates in rushing with 183 yards in 16 carries. This 175-pound lad, who stands just a shade under six feet, has also scored four touch downs. Holding down another halfback position is little James Self, a 150- pound Wichita Falls youngster that showed real sparks of, greatness against the Rice Owlets. Self has toted the ball 20 times for 171 yards to place a close second behind teammate Kachtik. He has two touchdowns to his credit. Two more exceptionally fast backs are Virgil Patton and Ger ald Sandusky, but they are un usually big. Both boys shake the scales for 200 pounds and Patton tops the six foot mark by two inches while Sandusky has one inch to spare. Patton has carried the ball 30 times for 154 yards. He has scored two touchdowns and kicked five times for a 33.2 average. Sandusky has gained 116 yards on 29 carries and is one of the fastest backs on the Fish eleven. He has also booted 12 kicks for an average of 39.2 yard average. Bernie Sinclair has already been labeled as one of the most promis ing ends in Fish football this year. Sinclair has caught six pass es 172 yards and one TD. The biggest man on the team, Leo Marquette holds up the Cadet Fish forward wall. He weighs 225 H Sandusky Patton pounds and is a hard man to move out of his center position. The Cadets have a capable Fish football team and rate a better than even chance of clipping the Shorthorns this Saturday. In the game will be the boys that will be seeing Varsity action wear ing the Maroon and White in the Southwest Conference. The battle could well develop into a preview of the 1952 edition of the Cadets. A Ord Whips B FA 18-6 In Football Tilt Ralph Gay and Harold Spring- field provided the spark neces sary for A Ordnance to top B FA, 18-6. The score was tied 6-6 with only 10 plays remaining in the contest when the artillerymen kicked off to the Ordnance. Springfield re ceived the kick and raced to the artillery 20 before he was stopr ped. The winners moved to a TD from there. Gay provided the final score with a sizzling return of a- kick to the losers’ five yard line. Again the Ordnance moved to the six point er. E Seniors Win E Seniors stopped the football forces of E FA on the gridiron yes terday afternoon by scoring a 7-0 win over the Artillerymen. The seniors led in the penetration de partment also, 4-2. C Composite edged the battling squad from D FA, 7-6. The teams were so closely matched that the only difference in their play was the extra-point that separated them. The artillerymen had one more forty-yard penetration than the winners. I) Vets Stampede D Vets displayed a powerful of- 7UUI imms TODAY & FRIDAY LING! HOWARD HAWKS' production from another wond fense and a strong defense to over power C FA, 20-0. The artillery men of C Battery were never able to advance the ball inside the Vet 40.

This is es sential in order for the intramural Office to prepare a starting list for the event. Cadet Linebacker V :' Vsv ' * ifllllllf Salyer Named Top Defensive Aggie Johnny Salyer Linebacker Johnny Sayler has been nominat ed as Defensive Aggie of the Week by The Battalion for his outstand ing play in the Rice game last Saturday in Houston. Salyer who made eight clean tackles and was in on seven as sists, was a standout in the eratic defense provided by the Maroon and White eleven. Playing the middle linebacker of the cadet defensive pattern, the fast sophomore was almost al ways in the way of the Owl ball carriers, sometimes stopping them before they could get past the line of scrimmage. Salyer is a bright prospect for next year’s squad which will be minus the services of the regular- secondary men, Jim Fowler . and Hugh Meyer. In the SMU game, Salyer was in the game only a short time but this was long enough to show Coach George that he was ready to go. 1 Fowler was also used sparing ly in the Rice game, which gave Salyer the chance to show that he was a capable linebacker. Last year, Salyer was the num ber one quarterback on the Fresh man team and is listed as a full back on the football programs. If . Salyer plays in the lineback er slot on Turkey Day, he will be competing with one of the best linebackers in the nation, Don Menasco of the Steers. Although he weighs only 167 pounds, Salyer seems to be able to keep the opposition from block ing him out of plays, an asset showed up well against the Owls in last Saturday’s contest. He was seemingly overlooked by the TU coaching staff as he play ed high school ball for the Austin High School Maroons of Austin, the stronghold of the Steers. Salyer has developed rapidly this season and will probably have a starting berth on the ’52 edition of the Cadet football team next fall.
