Line--'*CaPs Threat By ED HOLDER Snorts Editor The University of Kentucky will try to chop off the three game winning streak of the Maroon and White tomor row night on Kyle Field. Coach Ray George’s Aggies are heavy underdogs in their first home game of the 1952 season, as they play a team rated last year as one of the nation’s best. Babe Parelli, two year All-American quarterback of the Wildcats, is missing from the visitors line up, and this will hurt them considerably. A running, passing quick-thinking quarterback, Parelli was lost through graduation, and has left Coach Paul Bryant searching for a man big enough to fill the vacant spot. Only six seniors are on the Kentucky squad. The re mainder of the team is composed of 15 juniors, 29 sopho mores, and 9 freshmen. From the Aggies comes, we will-4 have to play a baa’d ball game if we want to win.” Coach Dalton Faircloth, assist ant backfield coach, answered this when asked “Who’s going to win?” “They have a very aggressive ball club. In fact it’s one of the hardest hustling teams I’ve even seen,” Faircloth said. “When I scouted them, I noticed that their strongest point seemed to be a very good defensive line,” he added. Graves At Quarterback Trying to crack that tough line will be Ray Graves at quarter back for the Cadets, Raymond Haas at right halfback, and Don Ellis at left halfback. Connie Magourik and Don Kach- tik will share the fullback chores. Both these men are hard runners, and are good at bucking the cen ter of the line. At ends for the Maroon and White will be big Darrow Hooper and Eric Miller, Hooper is the conversionist deluxe who has a perfect record so far this year. He is also the man who broke the ice against the University of Houston by snagging a pass in the end zone from Ellis. Miller a Threat Miller is constantly a threat to the defensive backfield of any team. His aggressive pass catching has opened up many breaks for A&M. Durwood Scott and Bobby Dixon will start at tackles. Both have im proved greatly over last year, and have given the offensive line some weight and power so badly need ed. The “Twin Terrors” Sidney The riot and Marvin Tate will get the nod for the guard slots. These two sophomores have turned in good performances against the U of H and Oklahoma A&M. They were outweighed in both the games by at least 15 pounds per man. Nation’s No. 1 Band Ray Anthony Kicks-Off Town Hall Series Monday By JERRY BENNETT Battalion News Editor Town Hall will hold it first program Monday night with Ray Anthony and his orchestra as the starring performers. Anthony, his trumpet, and or chestra will present a concert of pops and dance tunes which have placed the group in their top posi tion in the music world. Vocalists Tommy Mercer, Marcie Miller, The Skyliners and the Anthony Choir will be along to add lyrics to the Anthony instrumentals. Voted “The Nations Number One Band” by the National Disk Jock eys Poll, Anthony’s orchestra and singers are famous for their re cordings in addition to their many personal appearances in night clubs and hotels throughout the country. Two changes Anthony and other band leaders made in styles of dance music are responsible for his rise to fame. Until recently or chestrations were taking a back seat to vocals resulting in the de cline of good straight dance music. Anthony along with Billy May and others have taken steps to put or chestrations back in their top pos ition and use vocalists only for variety. Bop Rhythm In addition to an abundance of vocalists, good dance music was also disappearing in favor of “bop” rhythm.- Anthony’s style of music is completely “bop-less,” the prin cipal theme of the songs being em phasized. Town Hall patrons will probab ly hear Anthony lead his 17 piece organization in such numbers as “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue,” “Your Driving Me Crazy”, “Young Man With a Horn”, “Ten derly”, and “Stardust.” His own compositions which include An thony’s Boogie”, “Mr. Anthony’s Blues” and “All Anthony and No Cleopatra” will also probably be heard on the program. A&M Delegates Attend SWC - Meet Monday A five-man committee will represent A&M at the South west Conference Sportsman ship meeting at TCU Monday. Representing A&M will be John (Dukey) Childs, senior yell leader; Frank Manitzas and Joel Austin, Battalion co-editors; Gene Steed representing the Student Senate; apd Hapri Baker, journal ism major from Memphis, Tenn. The A&M delegation will ask for the appointment of Baker as executive secretary. The person holding this office is responsible for keeping all records of the com mittee, sending notices of meetings to members and carrying on busi ness for the president and the or ganization between meetings. The Aggie delegates will also present four other recommenda tions to be considered: 1) More publicity about sportsmanship and the rewards it brings to the stu dent body and school. 2) The possibility of establishing s u b- committees for sportsmanship on each campus to aid the regular committee members in their over all work. 3) Limiting the length of prayers before football games, and 4) Encouraging more stress on sportsmanship for intersectional games. At its meeting Monday the com mittee will discuss sportsmanship problems concerning the various Tank Painters Remain Unknown Col. Davis, Commandant, stat ed that he had nothing further to report at the present time con cerning the prankish daubing of three medium tanks with blue and gold paint sometime Monday night. Damage to the tanks, still on a railroad siding and still the re sponsibility of the railroad com pany, will amount to an estimated $1,500, when cleaning and re painting costs are considered.
