TCU Grid Practice
Starts February 11
Fort Worth, Jan. 29—If all goes
well in the current midterm exams,
29 of the 39 lettermen for TCU’s
championship team of 1951 will
report for spring football training
on Feb. 11.
. With the 33 men wdio earned
freshman numerals plus several
“ineligibles,” Coach L. R. (Dutch)
Meyer is expecting a squad of
around 70 for the 18-day grind.
Of the 10 Frog seniors lost by
graduation, seven were regulars.
Gone from the offensive unit will
^be Norman Hughes at left tackle,
Co-Capt. Alton Taylor at right
guard and Johnny Medanich at
right half.
Lost from the defensive unit will
'be Keith Flowers, co-captain and
A11-America linebacker; Doug Con
away at left tackle; Herbert Zim
merman at right guard and Bobby
McFarland at right half. Other
vets graduating are End Wilson
George, Center Tommy Moorman
and End Roy Pitcock.
Strong Nucleus
The Christians will have a
strong nucleus for 1952. Returning
for the offensive team are three
top quarterbacks: Gilbert Bartosh,
Danny Ray McKown and Malvin
Fowler. The Frogs’ top fullbacks,
•Bobby Jack Floyd and Bill Doty,
are also due to return.
At the halfbacks, the Christians
will have such veterans as John
, Harville, Glen Jones, Jack Ray and
iDanny Hallmark.
Along the offensive line, Ends
Teddy Vaught and Bobby Blair re-
* turn as seniors, Marshall Harris is
back at right tackle, 240-pound
'Carlton McCormack at center and
Jack Ramsay at right guard. In
addition, such reserve lettermen as
Mickey Teems and Hubert Parrett I three of them in the game at once
at guards, Bobby McEachern at 1 next fall.
center, and Tom Evans at tackle
are back.
For the defensive unit, Ends
Wayne Martin and Charles Rogers
return for senior years; Morgan
Williams, Hal Lambert, Bill Buck,
R. C. Harris, Bill Mattern are back
in the center of the line. And the
three secondary defensemen who
played most of the Cotton Bowl are
fit for duty again. They are Sammy
Morrow and Ronald Fraley at half
backs, Marshall (Boogie) Robin
son at safety.
Short On Linebackers
Meyer’s big job is to find a top
flight linebacker and offensive
linemen to replace Hughes and
Taylor. He plans to give Freshman
Center Dale. Brakebill a long trial
at the backer-up position, he has
several promising linemen up from
the Wog team, notably huge Billy
Poe Stephenson and Claude Roach
of Fort Worth.
In a way, the veteran Frog skip
per has an “.unusual” situation at
tailback—the key position on his
spread formation. He has “too
many” good players at the spot.
Besides Bartosh, who will be a
senior, he has Fowler and McKown
as juniors. Ray was recently pre
sented an award as the Confer
ence’s “most valuable” back—the
first time it was ever won by .a
sophomore.
To go with these vets, Meyer has
Danny Powell, a fine prospect of
last year who missed the season
with a knee injury, and Ronald
Clihkscale, star of the Wog team
who rates as the fastest Frog since
Cy Leland.
Right now, he plans to teach
most of these lads the signals
from most of the backfield spots.
In that way, he could have two or

A&M suffered more this year
from grgaduation than any South
west Conference football team.
Nine of the offensive starters
completed their eligibility, and six
of the defensive stalwarts are
gone. Nineteen lettermen in all
finished their football.
The Aggies, minus Jewell Mc
Dowell, the lad who dealt Baylor
so much misery earlier in the sea
son, invade Waco Saturday night
for the second game of the year
against the Bears.
McDowell, who was graduated
last month, racked up 23 points in
his final college game against the
Bruins, as A&M won the tilt 47-
36.
The 8 p. m. meeting of these
two clubs will furnish fans the
opportunity to see a battle for
second place scoring leadership be
tween the Cadets’ big center, 6-8
Walter Davis, and Baylors’ hook
shot artist, forward-center Ralph
Johnson.
When Baylor was trimmed by
the Aggies in College Station last
month, Johnson fouled out of the
game early in the third quarter,
and Davis followed soon after with
Davis winning the duel between the
two with 11 points. Johnson collect
ed 10.
Last year’s contest in Waco went
into overtime as forward John De-
Witt dropped a field goal with
three seconds remaining to knot
the count at 46-all. LeRoy Miksch
sank a field goal with 30 seconds
remaining in the overtime period
to give the Cadets a one-point
lead that paved the way to a 55-
53 victory.
Miksch will be in the starting
lineup Saturday night at a for
ward position. Other starters pro
bably will be Don Binford at the
other forward post with Davis at
center, and Don Heft, and Ray
mond Waker at guards.
For the second year in a row, A Infantry has
won the Intramural upperclassmen tennis crown.
Included on the team are: front row, Dick Jenni-
son, Ellsworth Ginger, Ted Coughran, Harold
Hudspeth. On the back row are: Ed Moses, Aron
Cohen, and Tuffy Chandler.
Aggie Nine Schedules Games;
Meet 14 Non-Conference Foes
Texas A&M defeated the arch
rivals, University of Texas cagers,
four out of six basketball games
in 1951. One of the victories was
in conference play, two in the
conference playoffs and one in the
SW Basketball Tournament, Dal
las.
All three major athletic coaches
at A&M came out victor in their
series'with the University of Tex
as, during their “freshman” year
at Aggieland. Coach Beau Bell’s
baseball team bested Texas two
out of three, Coach John Floyd’s
cagers split the conference slate
and then defeated the Longhorns
two of three in a playoff, and
grid coach. Ray George defeated
the powerful Longhorns 22-21 last
Thanksgiving.
Here is the first chance for everybody to get a
good look at the upperclassmen Corps Chapmions
in besketball. B Athletics beat out A Infantry
in the finals for the title. Members of the team
are Malcolm Douglas, Gene Letsos, Ed Sandlin,
David Silman, Ted Mohle, and Jerry Lastelick.
Walter Davis, all SWC center on
the Aggie basketball team, is the
No. 1 contender in the high jump
again this season. An All America
track performer last year, Davis
leaped 6-9 at the Texas Relays.
Pat Hubert, A&M’s all America
pitcher last year, has completed
his college eligibility but is con
tinuing work at A&M toward a
degree in veterinary medicine. Hu
bert, who won 10 and lost two for
the Aggies and pitched a 7-inn
ing no-hitter, was later named
“Sandlotter of the Year.”
Harrow Hooper, Aggie star and
football end, and Charles Hodge,
other starting end, became parents
of boys on the same day, Jan. 25.
Their end coach, Hank Foldberg,
also became the father of a son,
but about three weeks earlier.

Farmers Third Loss
(Continued from Page 1)
the Aggies.
Although the Farmers commit
ted 24 fouls compared to only 10
by TCU, no one fouled out; how
ever, Davis and LeRoy Miksch,
both with four fouls finished the
game on the bench.
This third loss for the Aggies
dropped the Cadets into fourth
place in the conference directly
below S M U. A mathematical
chance of the Farmers winning
the title still exists.
Saturday night the Aggies travel
to Baylor to encounter the Bay
lor Bears for the second time this
year. The Cadets w r on the first
game.

backfield men as Coach Ray
George makes strong bid to re
place 10 senior backs who com
pleted their eligibility last fall.
These six will be out for the
freshman football team next year.
Coming from Houston are Jerry
Johnson and Gerald Redmon, full
backs; Kenneth Mann, an all-city
center; and Harley Hartung, Class
AA high hurdler champion last
year: Hartung, who won the state
meet in 14.4, will be eligible for
competition with the Fish team
this spring.
Dallas Helps
Dallas has one baseball player
and two football players among
the newcomers to A&M. Fred Ab-
lop, an all state performer at
Highland Park, will bolster the
Aggie Fish’s outfield, and tackle
Clifford Watson and halfback Gil
bert Petty should give George
some help on the gridiron.
Petty, a 170-pounder, from
Woodrow Wilson, was all city and
all district, and placed first and
fourth in the hurdles and 100-
yard dash, respectively last year
in city competition. Watson js

High School, Shreveport. A heavy-
set athlete of the “Glenn Lippman”
type, Miner made both touchdowns
last fall to defeat Fair Park of
Shreveport, who went to the fin
als of state competition.
Another Outfielder
Coach Beau Bell is getting an
other outfielder, Bobby Sanders
of El Paso. Sanders and Ablon
should make the current Fish base
ball- team one of the strongest
in recent years.
A&M will play 14 non-confer
ence baseball games this spring
ncluding two-and-three-game ser
ies with the University of Minne
sota and Ohio State University,
respectively.
Ohio State, led by the Aggies’
former coach Marty Karow, will
be in College Station March 20-22
while Minnesota’s Gophers follow
the Buckeyes the following week
end for a pair of games.
Last spring the Cadets split a
double-header with the Gophers
at Pat Hubert hurled a 7-inning
no-hitter to win 1-0. Minnesota
won the nightcap 2-0.
Last Year in Playoffs
In the NCAA playoffs at Omaha, j
Neb., last June, A&M, on the \
strength of outfielder Yale Lary’s
home run, knocked the Buckeyes
out of contention 3-2.
The Buckeyes will see this same
Lary plus seven other returning
lettermen when these two clubs
tangle. Other than Lary, the. Ca
dets will have returning Hank Can-
delari, team captain at third base;
Joe Ecrette, second base; Bill
Munnerlyn, first base; A1 Ogletree
and Martin Hamilton, catchers;
and Sid Goodloe and Bob Tank-
crsley, pitchers.
Shortstop Shortage
Charles Leissner, up from the
1951 freshman team, is one of the
best prospects to replace Guy Wal
lace, the Cadets all-SWC, all
Dist. 6 NCAA shortstop.
Coach Bell will be looking for
pitching replacements mainly. He
lost all-American Pat Hubert who
won 12 and lost two game last
season. Some help may come from
sophomores Melvin Work and
Louis Little. A junior College
transfer, Ernie Johnson, has the
necessary height, weight and speed
to make the difference if he de
