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-

fensive man, too, plus several oth
er hopefuls.
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

and Donald Robbins, William
