Friday, February 20, 1953 THE BATTALION Page Aggie Spring Football Opens Monday With 23 Lettermen Spi'ing football opens at A&M Monday for a thi'ee-week session just at basketball fades away and the spring sports get undenvay. Over 100 candidates will report to Coach Ray George but only v>> some 50 of them will get full attention of the coaches. Workouts will begin at 5 p. m. Monday through Friday with intra-squad * Maroon and White games slated each Saturday—Feb. 28, March 7 and 14. Southwest conference schools have 30 days to get their allowed 18 spring drills in. With the end of platoon substi tution Coach George will experi ment with a new offense—the un balanced T shifting at times into single wing. Similar To MS Under the new system—similar to the Michigan State offense but with variations—the quarterback shifts into the single wing tail back, the right half moving to blocking back. The wingback does not move in case of a shift. Nobody knows whether or not the Aggies will stick with their new offensive weapon next fall but at least the boys will get a crack at it in the next few weeks. Don Ellis, nifty halfback of last fall’s Aggie team, will op erate the new offense and he’ll be a natural at it for it was this system which he ran for Dequin- *cey, La., high school when Aggie assistant coach Dalton Faircloth was his prep tutor. Ellis No. 1 Ellis will be the No. 1 quarter back and will be backed by Ed Hennig, 6-3 196-pound holdover sophomore; Ronald Robbins, up Jrom the frosh, Joe Boring, all conference defensive back who must prove his worth as an of- TODAY ONLY ths new Screen Sensation TflUV ClttTK IAN SIM FEIN with WALLACE FORD • CONNIE GILCHRIST OirtcM W 10SEPH PEVNEV ■ Scmglay kr BtRNMD CflRDBN Preiijced by IE0NARD COUSIEIN • A Universal-International Pietnre -Double Fealure- SATURDAY JAMES DANIEUE MICHAEl MASON - DARRIEUX - RENNIE —ALSO- “One Foot In Heaven” with Frederic March P R E V U E SATURDAY 10:30 P.M.

Henning will man the half slot while Billy Pete Huddleston, frosh star from Iraan, looks like the top righthalf candidate. Fullbacks are aplenty with lettermen Con nie Magourik, Don Kachtic and John Salyer and Bob Easley, un tried former Reagon sensation from Houston high by way of Baylor. The new substitution rule af fects several of the 1952 letter- men. A&M lost 12 of the 35 letter- men by graduation and will surely lose at least a few more due to the end of specialization. Doubtfid Lettermen Boys on the doubtful list are such former defensive only boys as Backs Hub Scott, Joe Schero, Bor ing and Salyer and Linemen Bob McCarley, Howard Zuch and Coop er Robbins. All will be given a chance but must prove their worth as offensive men, too. In addition to several fx-osh prospects George is happy over the return of Fred Broussard, 6-3, 215-pound tackle from Kaplan, La., who did not play last fall because of scholastic difficulties. He’s in good graces now with the academic people and should be a starting tackle. One lettermen back, Pete May- eaux, will work with the track squad this spring and miss the football wo'rk but he’ll be back next fall. Another grid hopeful, Quarterback Dave Smith, held out last year with Hennig, will miss the spring session due to a brok en cheek bone. George will switch a few Aggie lettermen around to try to plug gaps left by graduation. In such cases are tackle, where Lettermen Lawrence Winkler will move from a guai'd and end where Linebacker Billy McGowan will work. The following probable thi’ee- deeps are by no means indicative of standing up next fall or even through spi'ing drills: ENDSj#Eric Miller, Norbert Oh- lendorf Wid Billy McGowan, let termen; Paul Kennon, Bennie Sin clair and Richard Vick, squadmen; and Donald Robbins, William Schi'beder, RobexT Mangleberger and William Strange, freshmen.
