Wednesday, September 16, 1953 THE BATTALION Page 3 P 0 S H O ]{y BOB BORISKIE Sports Editor When the Aggies take the field Saturday night in Lexington for the season opener with the Uni versity of Kentucky, the starting eleven will look something like this: Don Ellis at quarterback, Connie Magouirk at left halfback, Joe Boring at right halfback, and Don Kachtik at fullback. Ends will be Bennie Sinclair on the righ ternfinal and either Eric Miller or Bill Schroeder at left end, while Lawrence Winkler will play left tackle and Durwood Scott will be at right. Right guard will be Marvin Tate and Sidney Theriot will be left guard. Ered Broussard gets the call at center. That is the probable line-up, but there are many players who are putting up a tremendous battle for a starting position. Only a shade of difference separates the starter from his understudies in some Strongly contesting for Boring’s Si." ire Billy Huddleston and El- wood Kettler.. Ellis has three sophomores eyeing the quarter back spot, but he rates the call be cause o f experience. Charles Ritchey, Ronald Robbins and Dave Smith are the man-under reserves. Kachtik amply demonstrated last fall that he is going to play a lot of fullback this year, but there were many spectators in the stands li T R S FRI. NITE PREY.—11 P.M.

Magouirk is being hard pressed at left halfback by Tommy Strait, a fish end last season who shows lots of ability as a back. Strait is also a very good punter. The reserve strength at guard is particularly encouraging, with Theriot having Louis Capt and Bob Gosney as reliefs, while Tate can take a breather as capable Ray Barrett takes over at right guard. At center, Broussard has Cooper Robbins and Ivan Greenhaw eager to step in if he should falter. The tackle and end positions are causing the most concern. Dur wood Scott and Winkler are ex perienced tackles, but are backed by only one experienced replace ment—Norb Ohlendorf, a convert ed end who lettered on defense last year. Among the untried but hefty sophomores are Foster “Tooter” Teague, Jim Cavitt, and A1 Zuckero. Miller has Paul Kcnnon and Robbins working to take his end job, wdiile Sinclair has the same problems with Schroeder and Rich ard Vick. Extra point and kick-off duties will fall to Kettler, Vick, Miller or Don Watson, another good-look ing halfback prospect. However, more information about the vai'ious players will be available after they have at least one game behind them. BEST guard be the 1953. m i f mmm.

Yankees Rate Edge Over Bums in Series Taleitlet I Big Fish Team Has All-Staters, Spirit One Platoon Grid Play Big Problem Facing Aggie Team Work with the Aggie football team has centered around chang ing the players from specialists to all-around players. This job, said Ray George, head coach, speaking to the College Sta tion Kiwanis club yesterday, is coming along well. The boys are adjusting well from two platoon to one platoon football, he said. George plans to have on . the field a squad of not more than 38 players.. He says he doesn’t want anyone on the bench who may not see action in the game. George seemed well impressed with his younger players and es pecially this year’s freshmen pros pects. “If determination and a will to win make up a good team, we will have a successful season,” he said. The number of persons living on farms and employed in non-farm jobs has increased in the past twenty years. In 1930 in the Uni ted States about one out of seven employed persons living on farms had non-farm jobs. In 1940 the figure had increased to one in five and in 1949, one out of three. By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer The record-breaking New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers will meet in the world series start ing two weeks from today with the Yanks slightly favored to make it five straight two ways— five over the Dodgers in five meet ings, five in a row over the Na tional League. Cagey Casey Stengel, who re wrote the record book by manag ing the Yankees to five consecu tive pennants, says he thinks he has a good chance of continued success in the fall classic. “This is a real good club with real good players,” Casey said as he relaxed after Monday’s flag clinching 8-5 victory over Cleve land. ■ “They tell me somebody has made us the favorite in the series and that’s mighty nice of them. The way we’ve been playing, if we can keep it up, I can’t see why we shouldn’t be considered as having a great chance. “But I don’t think those fellows the Dodgers will be scared of the Yankees. They’ve been in the series before.” Casey said the Yanks will have to get good pitching to win, but he implied that he was not awed by Brooklyn’s tremendous hitting. He allowed'bow his club could hit home runs ’in Yankee stadium ^nd they probably could hit them in smaller Ebbets Field, too. Stengel admitted he was glad the tension of the pennant race was over, “It makes it easy for myself and the wives of the players,” he said. Except for the players and a few diehard fans there really wasn’t much tension in the Ameri can League flag chase this season. The Yankees held first place all but nine days. They were ahead by as much as 11 ^ games in late June and were never out of the lead after May 11. The Dodgers didn’t start quite so early in the National League but they grabbed first place for keeps on June 28 and nailed down their flag 48 hours before the Yankees. Both clubs clinched with 12 games left to play. Brooklyn play ed 142 games to win its flag, the Yankees played 140. Charlie Dressen, who set a Brooklyn record by winning two successive pennants, has assigned himself to scout the Yankees this week. What the Dodger scouts saw in Monday’s Yankee game was noth ing to give them a feeling of security, with the exception of pitcher Whitey Ford’s poor show ing. The Indians got five runs off Ford in the first three innings on five hits, four walks and a hit bat ter. But against the relief ef forts of Tom Gorman, Bob Ku- zava and Johnny Sain the Indians got a hit arid run total of zero. Meanwhile, the Yankees solved Early Wynn with a vengeance in the fourth inning, scoring four runs, and then caught up and sealed the decision against Bill Wight in the sixth and seventh. Yogi Berra broke the tie in the seventh with a two run homer. Billy Martin drove in four of the Yankees’ runs with two doubles and a single. Brooklyn continued to suffer from a pennant winning letdown, losing its second in a row to the red hot Chicago Cubs who ran their winning streak to 10. Johnny Klippstein gave the Dodgers only three hits in the 3-1 victory. He stopped Duke Snider’s hitting streak at 27 games. Butler Bowls 275 Sets New Record Marvin H. Butler, A&M econo mics professor, bowled nine straight strikes, a spare and a six for a total 275 to set a new MSC bowling record. Butler, sponsor of the A&M Bowling Club since it was formed at the MSC fell only 14 pins short of the series record of 673. Only a regular bowler since 1949, Butler’s game average is 170 to 180. The old MSC bowling record of 268 was established in 1950 by Ted Gulette and was tied last year by Bernie Hoefelmeyef. One of the most promising and talented Fish football teams of re cent years began practicing Mon day for a five game schedule. Several All-State and three members of AAA champ Brecken- ridge were among the 107 players that reported to Coach Willie Zapalac. Prospects are very good, and team spirit is tops, said Zapalac. This just possibly might be where A&M’s long drouth of top flight gridsters ends. Players named to many Texas All-State teams last year are End John Ray, 185, Corpus Christi; Tackle Bobby Lockett, 210, Breck- enridge; Guard Benny Bloomer, 205, Belton; and Back Bobby Keith, 180, Breckerifidge; James Martin, 215, Houston, Guard. Quarterback Charles Scott, 160, Alexandria, La., and All - State Halfback Billy Grandberry, 185, Beeville, are expected to handle most of the punting chores. Helping Zapalac are Walter Hill, working with the ends; Bobby Dixon, assisting with the tackles; and Lt. Jim Cashion and Bill Bal lard, aiding with the backs. The Fish’s first three games will be played on Kyle Field, with the last two unreeled on the road. The game of Oct. 8 with the Bay lor Cubs highlights the home schedule. The Cubs boast Temple’s Dandy Doyle Traylor, acclaimed by many as the best high school passer ever produced in Texas. He was selected on the All-American High School team at quarterback. Zapalac thinks the following boys will be outstanding: Ends-Ray; Stalling, 180, Paris; Russell Moake, 210, Deer Park; Tackles-Lockett; Wade Drines, 215, Terrell; Houston Green, 205, Breckenridge; James, Murray, 205, Aransas Pass; Guards-Lloyd Hale, 200, Iraan; Bill Dodd. 195, Atlanta; Bloomer; Jack Kuchler, 210, New Orleans, La.; Martin.
