THE BATTALION Thursday, February 1953
Three Schools
In SWC Begin
SpringTraining
By GUS BECKER
Sports News Editor
Footballs are in the air again
as three Southwest Conference
schools—Baylor, TCU and Texas—
start their spring training drills.
Baylor’s Bears were the first to
take to the practice field along
with the Horned Frogs from TCU
who started Monday afternoon.
Coach George Sauer of Baylor
got his charges right to work hold
ing an hour-long scrimmage Tues
day. Saturday, the Bears will be
divided into two teams, Greens and
Whites, for their first practice
game.
At Fort Worth the Frogs didn’t
start as quickly as the Bears, hav
ing a new coach and learning a
new offensive formation. TCU’s
new head mentor, Abe Martin will
install a straight “T” formation
for the Frogs who have been fam
ous for their spread and double
wing offense.
Starting All Over
It will almost be like starting
anew for the Christians, who will
also have to learn to play the one-
platoon system, since not a single
TCU player, played both ways in
1951 and 1952.
Copch Martin is planning on
having the Horned Frogs line up
in the “T” offense then either run
from that formation or shift to a
single-wing right.
Cotton Bowl Champion, Texas,
started their practice Wednesday
with sixteen letterman missing.
Head Coach Ed Price of the Long
horns feels that the new rule on
substitutions will have very little
effect on either the team or the
individuals.
“Normally we check nearly all
of our candidates in the spring on
both offense and defense in an
effort to determine for which they
Would be best suited. Now, of
jourse, we will be appraising them
Irom an all-around viewpoint,”
Price said.
The Aggies and the Arkansas
Itazorbacks, under the helm of a
new coach, Bowden Wyatt, will
start their spring drills later this
month. Southern Methodist, which
was scheduled to start its spring
practice this week has postponed
their drills until a coach is found
to replace H. N. “Rusty” Russell
who resigned.
Bears Help Polio
The Baylor cage squad, tied for
first place in the SWC, meets the
Aggies in DeWare Field House
Saturday night. This same Baylor
club is the team that helped the
Waco March of Dimes Drive by
scoring over 70 points against the
Houston Cougars.
Several business establishments
in Waco contributed a dollar to
the March of Dimes for every
point the Bears scored against the
Cougars.
TANK STAR—Charles Biersborn, a sophomore from Chi
cago, Ill., is one of Florida State’s fastest'freestylers. Biers
born and 14 other Seminoles face A&M at P. L. Downs
Natatorium Friday.

ing a swimming instructor’s

ming Coach Art Adamsoh at

Fight Florida State
By BOB BORISKIE
Sports News Writer
The Texas Aggie swimming
team will meet the Florida State
Seminoles in a dual meet at the
P. L. Downs Natatorium Friday
night.
This will be the second meet of
the year for the Aggie tankmen,
who came in. third with 54 points
behind SMU with 70 and Texas
with 68, in the Southwest Confer
ence Relays held in Dallas Jan. 17.
Last year the Aggie swimmer’s
were defeated by Florida State,
and Friday night will be striving
to return the favor.
Head Swimming Coach Art
Adamson is faced with the prob
lem of developing a predominantly
soph team into a strong smooth-
functioning unit.
Dickie Weick, soph breaststrok-
er, who was state high school
champ in 1951, will be heavily re
lied on this season, said Adamson.
Weick swam for the A&M Consol
idated tankers.
Another breaststroke artist
counted on for points this year is
Wayne Strickler, junior who did
n’t compete last year.
Rickey Black, junior, rounds out
the breaststroke swimmers com
peting against Florida State;
The back stroke tankmen will
be Don Crawford, senior and cap
tain of the swimming team, Wynne
Snoots, soph, and Tommy Daven
port, soph.
Sprinters competing for the Ag
gies will be John Speich, soph,
Jimmie Burns, junior, Bert Koegl,
junior, Lee Pepping, soph, and
Donald Horne, junior. Horne is
a swimmer picked up from the in
tramural swim meet and is doing
very well.
The distance swimmers will be
repi’esented by Franklin Gajewski,
soph, and John Beutelschies.
Mounting the springboard
against the Seminoles will be John
Cameron, junior, and John Mal
colm, senior who is swimming on
the squad for his first year. Bob
by Johnson, senior 2-year letter-

because of a pulled muscle.

Fortenberry Stars,
Fish Lose 50 to 63
A&M’s winless Fish squad was
stopped by Wharton Junior College
Tuesday night, 63 to '50, in a game
played at Wharton.
John Fortenberry was easily the
brightest star for the Cadets as
he hit the bucket nine times from
the court and sank 10 free throws
for a total of 28 points.
Off-setting Fortenberry’s pro
duction was Gerald Heffernan and
Charles Christenson, who made 16
and 15 points .respectiv.ely> for the
Pirates.
The Fish matched , shot for shot
with the Pirates during the first
quarter, winding up in a dead heat,
15 to 15.
Christenson and Hefferman
combined to pull the Pirates out in
front during the second quarter
with the score at halftime reading
the Fish' 23, Wharton Junior Col
lege Pirates, 29.
The third stanza saw the Ag
gies match point for point and
gain a point on the Pirates, 35 to
40.
In the final period Brethauer, a
fine Fish player from Brenham,
was lost via the personal foul
route and the Pirates scored 23
points to the Fish’s 15 ending up
the contest 63 to 50 in favor of
the hometeam.
Sq. 15 Cops
Intramural
Tennis Crown
Taking the first two sets by 6-0
and 6-3 counts, Sq. 15 copped the
Class B intramural tennis title

contest of the week, with A QMC
winning Class A football and
horseshoes. Plans for this semes
ter’s intramurals will be drawn
up today at the meeting of ath
letic officers.
Tom Davis and Don Shipe got
Sq. 15 off to a fine start, as they
blasted out a 6-0 decision over
Robert King and Brooks. Playing
well together, the duo had little
trouble in applying the whitewash.
James Sexton and Rowland
Hicks edged Sherman and Albert
Schlicter, 6-3, in the second set.
Both twosomes made some fine
shots, but Sexton and Hicks had
more polish and functioned
smoother together.
In the last set Spencer Coleman
and Adolph Burrell had little
trouble with Jim Barr and Bob
Alcock, scoring A Sig’s only win.
Coleman and Burrell annexed a
6-1 decision.
