Possible Record Crowd, 20,000

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.

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.

In 1948 12,000 turned out at Col
lege Station, and one year later
in Austin, 16,000 were on hand
for the growing contest.
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.

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

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.

Squadron 5 In Finals
Squadron 5 will meet Squadron
13 in the finals of the Freshmen
Tennis bracket Friday afternoon
at 5 p.m.
The fliers won the right to meet
their fellow airmen by topping
Battery 7 yesterday afternoon 2-1.
The artillerymen won the first
set, 8-7 but the airmen took the
remaining two sets by scores of
8-1 and 8-3 to advance into the
finals.

Cross Country
All Athletic officers are urged
to have their cross-country en

Friday of this week. This is es
sential in order for the intramural
Office to prepare a starting list
for the event.

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.
