Cougars W illBe 4 Awf ullyT ouglT
With a five man injury list hurt
ing their chances against the Uni
versity of Houston, A&M’s foot
ball team began priming its of
fensive guns Wednesday in a long
offensive scrimmage.
“We’re anticipating a big, active
team with a lot of power,” said
Coach Ray George, referring to the
Cougars. “It’s going to be awfully,
awfully tough. I don’t see how we
can be favored.”
On the injury list are ends Eric
■ Miller and Don Robbins, backs Bil-
I ly Pete Huddleston and Charley
I Hall, and center Cooper Robbins.
Miller is classed as “a doubtful
• starter” by George. “I don’t know
I if Huddleston will play or not,” he
I added.
Don Robbins will be out of ac-
| tion indefinitely with a broken arm
I and his brother Cooper will be out
I of the Houston game with an in-
| jured leg. Huddleston and Hall
also have leg injuries.
Johnny Salyer worked out at
end Tuesday and is expected to
take up some of the slack there.
\ He was described as a very fine de
fensive player and a speedy offen
sive threat by George. Earl Con
nell, sophomore center, was also
moved to end.
Junior college transfer Gary
I Wofford, Bob McCarley and Ivan
Greenhaw will back up Fred
Broussard at center. Cooper Rob
bins is expected back in uniform
for the Georgia U. game.
Wofford returned to practice this
week after a shoulder injury suf
fered before the Kentucky game.
A&M’s defense will face a rug
ged task Saturday night. Said
George, “We have to stop Carr up
the middle, Clatterbuck’s passing
and Bailes and Meeks wide.”
If the Cougars field their ex
pected lineup, they will pull down
a 14 pound per man advantage in
the line. Right tackle Buddy Gil-
lioz and left guard Ed Willey are
the heavyweights at 235 and 240,
respectively.
The rest of the line reads left
end Marvin Durrenburger, 195, left
tackle Bob Chuoke, 205, center Ed
Willhelm, 210, right guard Wayne
Shoemaker, 210 and right end
George Hynes, 190.
This gives an average of 212
pounds per man, compared to 198
in A&M’s line.
Houston’s backfield will pro-
ably be Bobby Clatterbuck at
quarterback, Tom Bailes and Billy
Poison at halfs and Paul Carr at
fullback.
Xhe “sleeper” of this combina
tion could be Bailes, despite the
headlines praising Carr and Clat
terbuck.
A 200-pound converted fullback,
Bailes is a power runner and a
good pass receiver. He gained 339
yards on the ground last year, had
a 5.1 yard per carry average and
caught six passes for 58 yards.
Poison, the other halfback, was
ninth in the nation in punt returns,
playing both offense and defense
in 1952. He returned 22 punts for
260 yards, including two for 53
yards against Arkansas.
Speedy S. M. Meeks was an All-
Missouri Valley conference selec
tion at offense, and was Houston’s
leading ground gainer. His small
size 5-9, 150 lbs. will probably keep
him out of the starting lineup.
A member of the sprint relay
team that won the Drake Relays,
Meeks gained 336 yards on the
ground and 112 in the air on five
pass receptions last year.
Bobby Clattei'buck will begin his
third year at the helm of Houston’s
split-T attack. With a 6-3, 195
frame he has the size and endur
ance to play both ways, plus the
savvy so essential to a good play
caller.
Although he wears glasses off
the field, Clatterbuck does not need
them to spot open pass receivers.
This is shown emphatically by his
736 yards gained through the air
last season.
Backing up Clatterbuck are Les
Burton, a senior and Newton
Shows, a junior letterman. Burton
is a fine passer. Shows sparkles at
ball handling and is at his best
under pressure.
Carr, twice all-conference line
backer and mentioned prominently
for ’53 All-American honors, is the
big man of the backfield. Playing
only part-time on offense, he tack
ed up 143 yards on the group in
27 carries during the ’52 season,
“The Rock” is considered the best
kickoff specialist the Cougars have
ever had.
In Chuoke and Gillioz the Coug
ars have a pair of tackles second to
none in this part of the nation.
Chuoke, 6-1, 205 lbs. was an all-
MVC offensive guard last season.
His agility and speed should make
him outstanding at tackle, despite
his relative lightness.
Two Year Starter
Gillioz, 6-2, 235 lbs. has started
at defensive tackle for the last two
seasons and was also all-confer
ence in ’52. He handles himself well
considering his size and was a four
year basketball letterman in high
school.
Both probable starters at guard
are sophomores. Shoemaker letter
ed on the varsity ^s a freshman in
1952 and has unlimited possiblili-
ties. Willey was outstanding on the
freshman team and is another of
the big, fast linemen that U of H
seems to have in abundance.
Although losing 17 lettermen,
Houston has 21 returning, eight of
them halfbacks. In a break down,
they look like this: two quarter
backs, one center, two fullbacks,
three ends, two tackles and two
guards.
Two lettermen, Carr and full
back Jack Patterson, played of
fense and defense last year. Nine
earned letters on offense and 10
on defense.
Melvin Free Rejoins Team;
Tigers Ready for Rattlers
Melvin Free, A&M Consolidat
ed’s starting right tackle, will de
finitely play Friday night against
Navasota.
Free suffered an appendicitis at
tack Monday night and was a
doubtful starter.
Charles Johnson, a defensive
guard, will replace left tackle Pete
Hickman. Hickman broke his hand
Friday night against Madisonville.
The Tigers staged a light de
fensive scrimmage Wednesday,
after concentrating on offense
Tuesday.
The starting lineup will be
ends-Bobby Carter and Bobby Jack-
son; tackle - Free and Johnson;
guards - George Sousares and Jim
Bond; center - Pinky Cooner;
backs - Fred Anderson, Wade, Wil
lie Arnold and David Bonnen.
More Than 200 Sign
For Dance Classes
More than 200 students have en
rolled in MSC dance classes.
Registration closes Tuesday. One
class already is filled.
Fees this year are $3.50 a stu
dent. Twelve lessons are being
offered this year.
BUDDY GILLIOZ—A 6 feet, 2,
235 pound senior two year let
terman, Gillioz is a Cougar co
captain. He has been a starter
since the first game of his soph
omore year and was All-MVC in
’52.
A&M’s Cullen Rogers’ 99-yai'd
touchdown run after intercepting
an Arkansas pass in 1942 is the
SWC’s all-time record. Three Ag
gies, Bill Conatser, Verne Sikes
and Derace Moser, haye made re
turns of 90 yards or over.
