Low-Scorine Affair
Defense was the order of the day
Tuesday as the Aggie football
squad continued preparations for
the Saturday night game on Kyle
Bobby Clatterbuck
Field with the University of Hous
ton Cougars.
The game promises to be a low-
scoring affair, since the Cougars
are stressing defense in their work
outs this week.
Last season, A&M was one of the
two teams able to score more than
one touchdown against the Cougars,
and most of that Missouri Valley
conference championship team is
back.
Paul (Rock) Carr, two-time All-
MVC linebacker, heads the fine
backfield which Coach Clyde Lee
will send out in its season open
er. Carr averaged 5.3 yards per
carry last year as part-time full
back and is expected to be equally
as effective in Iron Man football
this season.
# Man-under duties for Houston
will be handled by Bobby Clatter-
buck, senior veteran at the post.
Clatterbuck is very deceptive in his
ballhandling, and passes well when
the ground game slows down. He
will be directing the UH split-T at
tack for the third year.
Tommy Bailes will get the call
for one halfback position, while
the other will go to Billy Poison.
Two Tiger Starters
Will' Miss Rattler Tilt
A&M Consolidated’s hopes of
continuing its unbeaten string
against Navasota received a jolt
Tuesday when it was learned that
both starting offensive tackles may
miss the game.
The Tigers meet unbeaten Class
A.A Navasota Friday night in
Navasota.

Bailes, a fine pass receiver, tips
the scales at 200 pounds and is a
hard-running halfback. Poison, at
175, is lighter but faster.
Buddy Gillioz, 235 pound tackle,
is being boomed for All-America
honors. He moves with amazing
speed, considering his size.
Companion to Gillioz at the other
tackle position will probably be
Bob Chuoke, 205, all - conference
team member.
At ends will be Marvin Durren-
burger, 195 pounds, and George
Hynes, 190 pounds. However, they
both are defensive products of the
two-platoon system, and must
prove themselves offensively.
Proof of the Houston emphasis
on defense would appear to come
with the big, bruising guards. Ed
Willey, 240 pounds, is the lead
ing candidate for left guard, and
Wayne Shoemaker, 210 pounds,
amply fills the other guard slot.
The center post will be manned
by Ed Willhelm, 210 pound junior
who adds more weight to the hefty
tackle-to-tackle array.

One Platoon Play Poses No
Problem to Backs—Fair cloth
By Jerry Wizig
If the Kentucky game was any
indication, the Aggie backfield,
1953 edition, should not have any
trouble playing one platoon foot
ball. This comes from the man who
should know, Dalton Faircloth,
backfield coach.
‘T was very well pleased with
the showing the backfield made
Saturday night,” said Faircloth.
“The backs showed more in the
game than in practice. They must
have been saving something for
the game.”

A&M Soccer Team
Meets Thursday
The A&M soccer team will meet
at 7 p. m. Thursday to welcome
players and anyone interested in
playing on the team. The meeting
will be held on the second floor of
the YMCA.
The Aggies are the Texas In
ternational Soccer league champ
ions. They were runners-up to Busy
Bee of San Antonio for the state
title.
Bosque county club meeting,
room 307, Goodwin hall. Important,
election of officers.
Knights of Columbus meeting,
basement of St. Mary’s chapel. In
stallation of officei’S, refreshments.
Chib de las Americas meeting,
Cabinet room. YMCA. Election of
officers. Plans for future meetings.
Everybody interested is cordially
invited to attend.
Faircloth installed the T-forma-
tion, unbalanced line offense that
the Aggies are using this season
and coached defense during the
past three seasons.
The object of the unbalanced line
is to draw the other team into
overshifting its defensive line to
meet it, explained Faircloth. This
sets up the defense for A&M’s
weak side line plays.
“We will be primarily a running
team, using our passing to keep
the defense from bunching up,”
said Faircloth. He added that the
Cadets will use the air without
hesitation when the occasion arises,
assuring fans of a well-balanced
offensive showing.
Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa
and Washington State are among
other major college football teams
that use the same type offense.
Asked about A&M’s chances
against the University of Houston,
Faircloth said, “We stand a pretty
good chance if the ball bounces
right.”
The Cougar defense, tenth in the
nation last season, is reported to be
weaker this year. The split-T of
fense used by Houston is a more
wide open style than that employed
by Kentucky, according to Fair
cloth. It depends more on passing
and wide running plays.
Faircloth was a highly success
ful high school coach at DeQuincey,
La., home of Don Ellis and Fred
Broussard. He was selected coach
of the year in Louisiana in 1949,
the year before he came to A&M.
Comparing high school football
in Louisiana and Texas, Faircloth
said the grade of play is about
equal. There are only three athletic
classes there, instead of the five in
Texas. Eligibility rules are the
same, he said.
Faircloth earned 12 letters in
football, basketball, baseball and
track at Louisiana College.
