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

at Saturday’s squad game who
were impressed by Bob Easley’s
power drives for long yardage. The
big Baylor transfer will be heard
from on some of the coming Satur
days.
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.

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.

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.
Centers - Barton Griffith, 200,
Humble; Dick Munday, 180, Bryan;
Backs-D Bradford, 180, Houston;
Scott; Keith; Grandberry; James
Burkhart, 185, Hamlin; Bennett
Ragsdale, 160, Junction; Don Car
penter, 200, Grand Prairie; and
Jack Pardee, 205, Christoval.

Oct. 8 Baylor Cubs Here
Oct 15 TCU Wogs ‘ Here
