Small Kentucky Squad
Faces Cadets In Opener
The Texas Aggies start their
1953 football season Sept. 19 when
they smash into the University of
Kentucky Wildcats at Lexington,
Ky.
Hard hit by graduations, Ken
tucky’s team is ranked as one of
the most iriexperienced ever field
ed by Head Coach Paul Bryant.
The Wildcats have the smallest
number of varsity candidates—59
—since the beginning of two pla
toon football.
Lose Lettermen
Fifteen lettermen will be miss
ing from the two platoon lineup
that compiled a 5-4-2 record in
1952 on the basis of a late season
come back. Among those lost were
all four starting tackles, the num
ber one starting guard, starting
center on offense and regular of
fensive fullback who was the
team’s leading ground gainer.
Absent also will be Bob Bassitt,
the freshman who kicked the field
goal that beat A&M last year.
Kentucky has 30 returning let
termen but only five or six of these
have seen the equivalent of as
much as five games total expe
rience.
Jim Proffitt and Steve Meilin-
ger, an All-American candidate,
are the team’s only members with
t\vo-way playing experience.
The top prospect at every other
position will be handicapped by
lack of familiarity with one phase
of play at his post under the new
limited substitution rules.
Better Offensively
Bryant anticipates, however,
that the team may prove to be
Porkers Ca ugh t
In Yearns Hotspot
Predictions place Arkansas in a
tough spot this year with Head
Coach Bowden Wyatt and his staff
facing the slow job of rebuilding a
football team.
It is Wyatt’s first year with the
Porkers, and he has put the foot
ball picture at Arkansas through
revamping and overhauling during
spring practice and pre-season
workouts this year.
“Spring training was profitable
but far short for the job demand
ed,” was the way Wyatt explained
his progress during those initial
drills. He spent the spring seeing
“which men really wanted to play
football, and not where they could
play.”
Looking at the problems which
face the new coach in the only out-
of-state school in the SWC, it is
hard to see just how Arkansas can
produce a winning team.
Face Troubles
The hogs are faced with: (1)
a change in offensive systems from
the split-T to the single wing for
mation; (2) the loss of most of the
experienced backs and a fair num
ber of the experienced linemen
from 1952; and (3) a lack of time
to bridge the gap between a two-
wins, eight-losses season and suc
cess.
While the Razorbacks are not
completely void of outstanding
players, as Wyatt pointed out af
ter spring drills, “there just are
not enough top-flight boys to win
in this league.”
Wyatt puts a lot of emphasis on
training and spirit. The peek of
condition and a genuine desire to
play the game hard and without a
let-up are essential to him.
He says, “With the boys in the
peak of condition, we can expect
60 minutes of consistent football,
harder blocking and tackling, bet
ter speed—in general, the best that
earh man can produce.”
Material Is Shy
While the material is admittedly
shy, the ex-Neyland protege is
quick to say he’ll be satisfied in
1953 if he gets those essential re
quirements.
After four seasons under the T-
formation (three under Otis Doug
las and one under John Barnhill),
the Porkei-s will resort back to the
single wing, the only school in the
conference planning to use that
system in 1953.
SMU and TCU have changed to
the T for the coming season.
Wyatt is expected to use sopho
mores liberally in the backfield in
an effort to find the best person
nel for the “new” positions.
Only five men are back who let
tered as backs last year and two of
them never played a moment of
offensive football.
Two Were Quarterbacks
Two of the remaining three were
quarterbacks who alternated play
ing time. It is probably safe to
say that the starting lineup at mid
season will not even vaguely re
semble that of the first ball game.
In the line, only the guards seem
ample enough to warrant enthus
iasm, and three of the regulars
from 1952 are gone. The tackle sit
uation is heavily-veiled with “ifs”
that primarily are concerned with
a number of green sophomores
moving up.
Only a good showing by them
would relieve a position left shal
low by the loss of four veterans.
The guard spot appeared only a
bit stronger with three experienced
hands missing.
Center, Ends Doubtful
Both at end and center Arkansas
must be rated as doubtful. Wyatt
proved at Wyoming (where he once
had the nation’s top pass receiver)
that he likes to pass if at all pos
sible.
Whether a combination can be
found in the Ozarks or not this
year remains to be proven. There
were not losses at end position
from 1952, but last year’s passing
attack provided little information
on which to base a prediction.
The way Bob Cheyne, sports pub
licity director for the Razorbacks,
puts it, the Ai’kansas staff assumes
the team “will develope into a fair
blocking unit by mid-season, and
will attempt to offset an erratic
offense with a more stubborn de
fense.”

slightly better offensively this
season as line replacements show
indications of learning their new
lessons well, and if the backfield
develops as he hopes.
General team speed should be
somewhat better due to an in
creased familiarity with the Split-
T attack introduced for the first
time last fall.

Bryant believes, also may show

Plan to Visit
Russia When
Visas Granted
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 — OP)—
Four college newspaper editors
were reported to be planning to
take up the Soviet Embassy’s
promise to grant them visas for
travel in Russia.
Zander Hollander of Brooklyn,
N.Y., feature editor of the Univer
sity of Michigan Daily, said he and
three other student-editors were
making arrangements for the trip.
Vassar College
The others are Natalie Becker
of Brooklyn, editor of the Vassar
College Miscellany News; Daniel
Berger of Great Neck, N.Y., edi
tor of the Oberlin Ohio College
Review, and Mark Edmond, editor
of the University of Colorado Dai-
ly.
Two other students, promised
visas by the Soviets, have not in
dicated their intentions. They are
Arthur Brown of Mishawaka, Ind.,
editor of the University of Chicago
Maroon, and Kenneth F. Rystrom
of Mayard, Neb., editor of the daily
paper at the University of Ne
braska.
James Grant, co-editor of the
Queens College New York City
Rampart, declined the invitation,
saying his graduate work inter
fered with the trip.
American Editors
The idea of the trip, modeled aft
er a recent tour of Russia by a
group of American editors and
publishers, was initiated by the
editorial board of.the Queens Col
lege Crown, a student weekly.
Queens college is one of the mu
nicipal colleges in New York .City.
The Soviet Embassy’s reply to
a request for visas, signed by N.
Savchenko, chief of the consulate
division, assured that the visas will
be issued “immediately,” upon
presentation of passports.
Local Fan’s Dad
Named Wildcats
For Kentucky
“The Colonel,” University of
Kentucky’s wildcat mascot, may
prowl his cage on the sidelines at
the A&M-Kentucky game in Lex
ington, Sept. 19, with renewed
vigor.
It was because of a College Sta
tion sports enthusiast’s father that
the nickname “Wildcats” was giv
en to the Kentucky school.
W. H. Corbusier, Bryan Chevro
let dealer, recalls that it was his
father, P. W. Corbusier, who gave
the Kentucky Wildcats their nick
name.
Commandant Corbusier, head of
the University of Kentucky mili
tary department in 1909, originated
the nickname in a speech to a
chapel audience of students after
the team had upset Illinois, 6-2.
“They fought like wildcats,” the
elder Corbusier said then, describ
ing the Kentucky team. The tag
was popularized by word of mouth
and by the press. It has since
become synonymous with all major
Kentucky athletic teams.

Working out twice daily sincp
Sept. 1, the Tigers dropped the
morning session when school began

ForSwimmers
In ‘Lake ’
John Samuels and Charlie

Galveston and Amarillo, re
spectively, tell of the fun they
had swimming in Lake Trini
dad near Corsicana.
The two, along with other
members of the Memorial Stu
dent Center council and direc
torate, were having a great
time swimming in the lake.
Then they found out it was
a sewage disposal for Dallas
and Fort Worth.
The largest score A&M has lost
by was 48-0 by the University of
Texas in 1898. However, the Long
horns lost 68-0 to Chicago in 1904,
50-0 to Oklahoma in 1908 and 45-9
to Vanderbilt in 1906.

them may ease into a starting
