Page 4 TIIE BATTALION Tliursday, February 19,1953 For 1953 Maroon and White To Go Single Wing By E!) HOLDER Battalion Managing Editor The Aggie football team should and probably will run a singlewing formation during 1953. With all the talent and power available to Coach Ray George, partial, if not complete, abandonment of the T formation looks like the best way to produce a winning team for the coming season. The loss of several powerful linemen will hinder the Cadets from every angle ex cept the guard and center posts. But the ad dition of top notch backs and the improve ment of last year’s veterans poured into the and stirred around by Coach George would make a potent drug for any high-riding Frog, Mustangs, or Longhorn. Three hard hitting and fast running fullbacks will be out for spring training soon. Connie Magourik, Don Kachtik, and Bob (Bull) Easley will be aiming at the power-slot. Eas ley is the transfer from Baylor who laid out last year. He has never run on Kyle Field, but sportswriters who have seen him play predict a sensation. With all this powerful talent loose in he Maroon and White backfield this season, the speedy T would fail to utilize the potential of such a combination. As for halfbacks, the Aggies are prepared to boast some of the best in the business. Don Ellis, who may be moved permanently to quarterback, ran circles around opponents’ defenses from both the halfback and man under slots. Charles Hall was a little less experienced in 1952, but he always managed to come out on top with a good yard average for any game.

Juan Coronado has been devel oping rapidly and should get a try at the game, and Howard Zuch could even get into the backfield uct. The quarterback will be picked from two experienced men. One is Ellis, the other Joel Smith, who didn’t play last year and has three more years of eligibility. Still another man who has shown promise is Ed Hennig. The versatile sophomore can swing his weight at end as well as quarter back. All these veterans with the power, ability, experience, and de sire deluxe, could make a single wing formation click like nothing we’ve had here at A&M in a long, long, long, time. Soccer Team Gels Set A group of athletes here on the campus who rarely receives recog nition is the A&M soccer team. CIRCLE 4-1250 TONIGHT & FRIDAY Children Under 12 FREE When Accompanied by an Adult They play their next game here on the main drill field Sunday af ternoon. The soccer league of which they are a part is new. In fact it was just formed this year. But already the Cadet soccer players are mak ing a reputation lor themselves. At the' last game they played here on the campus two weeks ago, a crowd of about 300 watched them beat the University of Texas. Soccer in the southwest is com paratively new, and it will take some time for it to reach the heights of popularity it .commands (Sec SCCOER, Page 5) By BOB BORISKIE Sports News Editor The Aggie track squad opens its 1953 season in a triangular meet with Texas and University of Houston on March 7 at Kyle Field. “’Well have a good team this year,” Coach Andy Anderson said, “And if we can keep everybody eligible and in good shape, we’ll be in there battling for another track ti^le.” .Anderson said that track, by the very nature of the sport, is a once-a-week event, and since out standing relays occur almost every Saturday during the season, it is impossible to schedule more than two meets at home each season. The Ag all-around strength dur ing the past few seasons has pro- gressed to the point where it is almost impossible to schedule dual meets. This brings about more tri angular meets, with a home ap pearance every third year, Ander son said. For this reason, he feels that j all students desiring to see Hooper j put the shot make every effoil to ' attend the first meet since Hoop- t er will be participating in’ the ; Drake Relays during the Ags’ only ? other home appearance of the | [ season. 100 Turn Out Over 100 candidates are vying for places on the team left va- ■ cant by the departure of John De- Witt, Bob Mays, and Buddy Shaef- [. fer from the quarter milers; the loss of high jumpers Don Graves and SWC champ Buddy Davis; hurdlers Billy Bless and Paul Leming; and half milers John Gar- many and James Terry. Verlon Westmoreland, promising two mil- er, and Garland Coalson, outstand- 1\TRAM URAL HIGHLIGHTS ing Fish high jumper, were lost to military service. The broad jump area this year will find the Aggies well repre sented by Bobby Ragsdale, who has leaped over 24 feet, and Bill Stalter, both seniors. Hardest hit by graduation was the high jump event. Contesting leapers will be Marvin Swink, junior squadman; Bob Harben, soph, and Taylor, senior. Leading a strong pole vaulting group will be Glen Spradlin and Malcolm Marks, both of whom have leaped 13 ft. 7 inches, which is four inches short of the SWC record. Others are James Earl, junior, and Conrad Cummings and Tom Kelly, sophs. The shot put circle will show Darrow Hooper, SWC champ and Olympic runner-up, leading the Webb and Loustannau Advance In Mat Bouts 7H£ SQto OF ft m \ A hatward TODAY thru SATURDAY —Feature Starts— 1:52 - 3:54 - 5:56 - 7:58 - 10:00 By JERRY WIZIG Sports Staff Writer Two defending champs, Conrad Webb, A Ord., and Paul Lous- taunau, Bizzell, advanced to the second round in intramural wrest ing yesterday in two of the best bouts of the day.

(See INTRAMURAL, I’agc 5) Aggie entries consisting of Dan Pratt, senior, Bob Gross, soph who has shown tremendous improve ment, and Lawrence Tucker, an other soph who is coming along fine. Pete Mayeaux, second in the SWC meet last year, leads the field of javelin hopefuls Tom Dol- lahite, Jimmy Smith, George Knip- ple, and Roy Dollar, new man who shows promise. Anderson hopes to have two or three boys place in the conference meet since the javelin field is wide open this year. Top high hurdle candidates are Glen Blake, junior; Tom Dollahite, junior; Harrie Smith and Harley Hartung, sophs. All ran at least one race of 15 seconds flat last year, with Blake’s best time of 14.6. Ragsdale is Outstanding Heading the -low hurdles will be Bobby Ragsdale, senior, a really outstanding prospect; Mayeaux and James Baker. All high hurd lers will also try for low hurdle spots.

Baker may be used if needed. Sprinting chores will be handled by Stalter, Ragsdale, MayeauxJ Hartung and Baker, with Stalter and Baker also on call for the 220 yard dash. Need New Ttalent Anderson suggests anyone inter- j ested in track should be at the . Kyle Field cinder track each Sat urday between 3 and 4 in the af- ; ternoon to watch the time trials. : He feels that there are still good track prospects in the stu- ^ dent body, and encourages anyone i interested in trying out to do so | without further delay. The Aggie soccer team will play the University of Houston Sunday afternoon on the main drill field ! at 2 p. m. Last Sunday in Houston, the Ca- ; dets beat the Cougar soccer club by forfeit. U of H failed to have ! the field marked off sufficiently and no referees had been arranged for. However, both teams were on j the field and ready to play, so a practice game was played. Team captain Guillermo Carden as kicked two goals and the Cou- ; gars made one during the first 1 half to put A&M in the lead. The Cadets scored two more and Hous-; ton put another point between the posts to end the game 4 to 2. The Cougars will be looking for a chance to even the score when they meet Sunday, but Cardenas said, “I think we can beat them again, especially since we will be playing on our home field.” IF YOU ARE HAVING LAUNDRY TROUBLES, TRY . . .
