Wednesday, October 14, 1953 THE BATTALION Page 3 Ags Sharpen Defense For First SWC Contest The Aggies scrimmaged against TCU offensive plays yesterday as they prepared for the conference opener with the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth Saturday. Injuries still plague Aggie half backs, with Joe Boring, Joe Schero and Charlie Hall sidelined with bruises. Also out with injuries are Cooper Robbins, center, and Donald Robbins, end. Coach Ray George has used sophomores freely in games with Kentucky, Houston, Georgia and Texas Tech, and is pleased with the manner in which these players have handled their positions. The present starting backfield has three sophomores and a senior, with Don Ellis, senior quarterback, handing off to sophomores Bob Easley, fullback and halfbacks El- wood Kettler and Billy Huddleston. Sophomore Fred Broussard at center, a transfer from tackle, ably fills the vacancy left by the loss of Leo Marquette from last year’s team. At the guards, Sid Theriot and Marvin Tate give the Aggies mid dle of the line strength that opens the holes for the plunging backs. Both are juniors who have taken to two-way football as though the rule change was made for them. Durwood Scott, senior, and Law rence Winkler, junior, fill the tackle positions with a great deal of authority. Their slashing de fensive play has made it extremely dangerous for the opposition to run plays designed to move over the tackle spots. The end posts have three “start ers,” with Eric Miller, senior, Bennie Sinclair, junior, and Bill Schroeder, sophomore, getting the starting call most of the time. They are all good defensive wing- men and capable pass receivers.

He proved to be one of the best de fensive linemen on the squad last year and stands a good chance to be one of the outstanding con ference guards this season. Theriot played football for his hometown high school team and was named all state guard in 1950. When he graduated, some Aggie- exes talked him into coming to A&M for a visit. “I looked the school over for. about four days and got to kind of liking it,” Theriot recalled. He has been here ever since and ex pects to secure a degree in in dustrial engineering in 1955. “Tech wasn’t nearly as bad as expected,” Theriot declared. After the first four downs it didn’t seem like they had much.” Commenting on Michigan State’s victory over TCU last week end, Sid explained, “TCU played a good ball game. With more Reserves they could have won it.” . However, his confidence in the Aggie team was evident as he add ed, “I think we stand a good chance against TCU. The' Aggies have a lot of fire and a lot of team work. After two or three more games, and when we get all the backs working, We’ll really have some thing!” When questioned concerning his biggest thrill in college football, Sid Theriot seemed rather puzzled. “I don’t know,” he said, “I get a kick out of beating them all. I really enjoy playing the game.” Fred Broussard Outstanding Center and Linebacker AMERICA’S TOP DANCE BAND!

Asked about the game’s outcome, Brous sard said, “That remains to be seen.” When asked what he thought of TCU’s showing against Michigan State last Saturday, Broussard said, “I was just as surprised as everyone else.” Broussard’s biggest football thrill came when he intercepted a Georgia pass on the Bulldog 47- yard line and ran it back to their 36 in a 14-12 Aggie victory. Fred has been one of the offen sive and defensive standouts in the hard-blocking, fast - charging Cadet line. His outstanding play against Georgia earned him SWC lineman of the week honors by the Dallas Morning News. All State An all-state high school center at DeQuincy, La., Broussard earn ed three football letters under Dalton Faircloth, present Aggie backfield coach. He played on the same team with Don Ellis. He also lettered two years each in basket ball, baseball and track. Broussard, six feet two, 215 pounds, was originally a tackle be fore being shifted to center to fill a Cadet hole at that spot. He is also a fine guard, if the need arises. ■ we stretching things a bit? May be — but when you find out how mild and sweet and refreshing the Medico pipe can be, you’ll go for Medico, too!
