June Davis
Texas
June In November—One of the outstanding performers in the Uni
versity of Texas’ famed football defense is June Davis, co-captain
and senior linebacker from Denton. For a second straight year he
is calling signals for the defense and has been termed “the most
underrated player in the Southwest.” Born in the month of June,
Youngest and oldest—Texas’ youngest and oldest football players
this season are Walter Bond, left, and Don Cunningham. Bond,
a sophomore end from Corsicana was born Jan. 12, 1933, while
Cunningham, a senior linebacker star from Graham, was born
Dec. 10, 1928. They will be in action Thursday against the Aggies
in College Station.
Jack Little Dick Frey

Here are two of the Aggie’s outstanding line- row afternoon against the favored Texas Long-
men. Jack Little and Dick Frey, who are ex- horns. Kick-off time is slated for 2 p. m. and a
pected to see lots of action on Kyle Field tomor- near capacity crowd of 41000 will be on hand.
Texas’ Coach Ed Price Says
He’s No Kyle Field Stranger
When Edwin Price visits Kyle
Field today, he will be here in a
new role but not as a stranger.
In fact, the 22nd head football
professor of the University of Tex
as is an authority on the traditions
and folkways of Aggieland.
J He has spent many of his hours
since 1929 pondering upon the ath
letic habits of Aggies, and trying
,to devise a means of outdoing them

and basketball court.

Nor does Price need any instruc
tions as to the “Spirit of Aggie
land.” He was one of a band of
favored Longhorns who were
trounced, 6-7, in 1931 by Frenchy
Domingue and his inspired play
mates.
There is no doubt that the mem
ory of that afternoon will be lurk
ing in the Kyle Field shadows to
day, although Price has had several
more pleasant visits since as an
assistant coach.
15 Years On Campus
Price spent 15 years around the
University campus working for the
other fellow. In fact it was three
other fellows. They were Jack
Ghevigny, Dana Bible, and Blair
Cherry.
At last, late in 1950, the big
break came. Cherry decided to

Ed Price
Head Coach
trade in his ulcers for oil wells,
and the head coaching job was wide
open.
For a quiet man, Price has made
an amazing number of friends ov
er the state. These friends might
have questioned Price’s judgment
in wanting the job, but they were
for him. Price was elected virtual
ly by popular demand—at least by
popular acquiescence.
Price has long been a coach of
coaches. Not physically equiped
as a player to overpower the op
position, ho has always had to use
his head and resort to tactics.
This habit ' persisted, happily,
when ho turned to coaching. He
became a genuine student of three
major sports.
There must have been times
when Price wondered if it was
worthwhile. He was placed at a
minor position, freshman coach,
and it wasn’t until some time after
he returned fro ma three-year Na
vy hitch, most of it spent on a
carrier in the Pacific, that the
long-awaited opportunity beckoned.
This was in 1947, Cherry, tak
ing over the top reins from Bible,
picked Price as his No. 1 lieu
tenant and line coach. From
there the Price story moved swift
ly-
Now, at 42, he is a head coach,
with a background of experience
seldom equalled.
As Head Coach
As head coach, Price has gone
about, his work exactly as his ;
backers knew he would. He has
planned everything carefully, has
conducted good organization, and
has demanded thoroughness and
details in carrying out ideas on the
gridiron.
His first sign of his through
ness and good planning was his
selection of assistants. Cherry
left him J. T. King, Eck Curtis,
Bully Gilstrap, and Buddy Jung-
michel.
To round out the staff, Price
wanted two Texas Exes. He wound
up getting Bill Dubose and G. C.
(Ox) Emerson. (Dubose came to
him from Aggieland.)
Having selected helpers in whom
he had confidence, Price delegated
responsibilities to each. This was
no idle gesture.
One of his beliefs is that no one
man can run a team in modem
football. He puts each day’s pro
gram on a blackboard, and these
schedules and assignments are rig-

Irvin Explains
Distribution Of
Football Ducats
Procedure for the allotment
of football tickets to home
games was discussed by Bar-
low Irvin, athletic director at
A&M, Monday night at a
meeting of the Brazos County
A&M Club.
One-half of the seats in Kyle
Field are distributed to schools
A&M plays, Barlow explained. He
pointed out many times the school
did not sell a)l the alloted tickets
and returned them only a few
days before the game.
Barlow, stressed that 10 percent
of the seats in Kyle Field, which
seats 40,000, go to such groups a?
the Texas Legislature, the press,
and the athletic office.
Distribution of tickets to such
groups as the Aggie-exes, T-card
holders, and faculty members is as
fair and equitable as can be devis
ed, Barlow asserted. He said he
was open to suggestions for im
provement at any time. The sec
tions for these groups are deter
mined in a drawing.
