Coach John Floyd plans to start
Roy Martin at center and James
Addison at one of the forward po
sitions. The other forward will be
either John Mcllhenny or Howai’d
Homeyer. John Fortenberry will
hold down one guard post while
the other is a toss-up between Joe
Hardgrove and Pat McCrory.
Fortenberry and McCrory were
on the ailing list for Wednesday’s
practice session. Fortenberry suf
fered a forehead gash requiring
stitches in the Tuesday game when
Gib Ford’s active elbow caught
him over the left eye.
McCrory was slightly ill Wed
nesday and did not work out, but
Floyd expects both Fortenberry and
McCrory to be ready for the TCU
encounter.
In the grueling 49-46 loss to
Texas, Addison also suffered a cut
over his left eye, but did not miss
any workouts.
Floyd was visiby pleased with
the battle which nearly resulted in
an upset Aggie victory.
“The boys just played their
hearts out. They were tired out
at the end, but they never slowed
down. I was never moi’e proud of
a bunch of boys in my life,” Floyd
said.
After Friday’s game with TCU,
the Aggies will put down the bas
ketball and pick up their books for
a week-long bout with final exami
nations, followed by a week off be
tween semesters.
They resume their conference

After Texas Game
Fans Owe Cagers
Big Pat on Back
By JERRY WIZIG
Associate Sports Editor
A&M sports fans today owe a big pat on the back to 10
basketball players and one basketball coach, even though the
Aggies lost to Texas 49-46 Tuesday night.
Amid wild speculation of “Who will Floyd play now?’’
and “Wonder how bad Texas will beat them?”, the Cadets
took the court before the largest home crowd of the season
and played the heavily-favored Steers off their feet.
Sure, Texas had an off night (they made only 15 of 54
field goals—but a tight Ag defense had much to do with the
poor field goal record and 19 of 37 free shots. But think of
fhe pressure the Aggies and Coach John Floyd were under.
Playing without two starters who quit the team and
blamed the coach in their resignations don’t exactly give
a squad a solid state of mind, especially when reports have
it that all or most of the team was on the verge of quitting
several weeks ago.
So, about 2,500 fans turned out, many of them undoubt
edly curious about how bad the Cadets were going to be sub
merged under a top-heavy score, and got the thrill of the
season.
Two Started for First Time
Starting Pat McCrory and Howard Homeyer, two play
ers who never opened a varsity game before, the Cadets led
most of the contest, mainly becaiise of a driving close-guard
ing and hustling game that at times had the Steers looking
rather bewildered.
It wasn’t until the last four minutes of play that the
Steers got over the hill, after drawing into a 40-40 tie with
4:46 to play. Then Gib Ford dropped in a free throw and
Billy Powell sank a layup after stealing a Cadet pass and
counted four straight free throws.
Addison Fouls Out
Forward James Addison, 6-6, fouled out in the third
quarter with 7:28 to play, after putting on a fine perform
ance under both baskets. He took off 6 rebounds, second
highest for the night.
Center Roy Martin, 6-8!/:>, had to play most of the fourth
quarter with four fouls, so the Aggies obviously were ser
iously hurt on the backboards. Martin had 7 rebounds, tops
for the game. Longhorn Bob Waggener also took off 7.
Kennedy, Mcllhenny Played Well
Two other sophomores, 5-9 Ernest Kennedy and 6-3
John Mcllhenny played some fine ball for the Cadets. Ken-
a ■ ffg-27 lead th-e f hird
quarter on a play that should stand as one of the most freak
ish of the season. A rebound bounced off of a Texas player,
and Kennedy pushed it into the basket from about 15 feet
out.
Mclibemiy played a good defensive game and garnered
5 rebounds.
The amazing McCrory.who comes from Leroy Miksch’s
home town of Waelder, dunked in 12 points to lead the Aggie
scoring arid made good on 5 of 9 field goal shots. He literally
was all over the floor on defense and poured in three straight
jump shots early in the fourth quarter to give A&M a 38-37
lead with 7:23 left.
Fortenberry Shaken Up Twice
John Fortenberry, twice shaken up by flying stray bits
of anatomy belonging to Texas players, made two tree throws
for a 40-38 Aggie lead, their last of the game. Just belore
this, Texas’ John Schmid had dropped in a free shot to tie
the score at 38-all. . .
The lead changed hands 13 times during the game and
the score was tied 10 times.
The result's of this afternoon’s meeting of the athletic
council at which the basketball program was to be discussed,
were not known as this was written. Whatever the results,
if .any are announced, let’s hope the council gives some serious
thought to the Texas game.

Players Want Mike
For Head Coach
By POB BORISKIE
Battalion Sports Editor
Aggie football players have adopted a stay-in-our-own-
backyard attitude toward the naming of a head football
coach at A&M.
Mike Michalske, line coach last season, has moved up
among prospects being mentioned for the job, and that’s just
fine with the players who worked under him.
Never a head coach, Michalske’s experience comes from
staff jobs at Lafayette College and Iowa State before moving
into the professional field with the Baltimore Colts and Green
Bay Packers. From pro coaching, he moved to Baylor in 1950
and then came to A&M for the 1953 season.
Interviews with several of last
year’s starting eleven disclosed that
Michalske was the first choice of
the players in every instance.
First indication of this sentiment
among players who will work un-
Squadron 7 Wins 12-0,
Takes Football Title
Squadron 7 yesterday shut out

to win the intramural football
championship on a muddy field.
Jake Magee made both scores.
Squadron 7 scored the first time
it got the ball.
Magee took the ball around end
and stumbled all the way to the
goal line on the wet field.
A athletics threatened twice but
was stopped on the squadron 7 20
and 25 yard line.
A athletic’s Ed Hennig’s pass to
squadron 7’s 20 yard line was in
tercepted by Magee, who returned
for 10 yards and stopped a first
half threat.
Late in the second half, Hennig,
standing in his end zone, passed to
Bob Briggs who scampered to
squadron 7’s 40 yard line.
Squadron 7’s Tom Robert inter
cepted the next pass by Hennig to

The A&M athletic council met at

In the other game played, com

Handballers Lose
To Steers, 2-6
The A&M Handball club Monday
night lost, 2-6, to the University of
Texas Handball club in Austin.
A&M won one of five singles
"trmtLhck *anL'oheTof’ three dodFIeS 5
matches. Playing for the Cadets
were John Centilli, club president,
Larry Laskoskie, Johnny Johnson,
Dickie O’Connor and Phil Randol.
Phil Collins of Bryan air force
base, rated the fifth best handball
player in the nation, accompanied
the Aggies and gave an exhibition
match.
der the new head coach came when
two of them asked if he was being
considered.
Further investigation revealed
Michalske was not only a highly
capable line coach last season, but
also was very popular with the
football squad.
Michalske Logical Choice
They said Michalske would be an
excellent choice for several rea
sons. He has worked with the
players and knows their individual
abilities. He is stern but fair in
handling them.
Moreover, they discovered he
knows a great deal more football
than is required to produce good
line play.
With a good staff of assistants,
they believe Michalske could mold
offensive and defensive units thaf
would put A&M back among the
leaders.
If selected, Michalske would be
the third straight assistant coach
to take over the head coaching
chores.
Harry Stiteler was assistant to
Homer Norton when Aggie exes
purchased the remainder of Nor
ton’s contract in 1948, and Stiteler
took over after one year on the
Aggie staff.
George Takes Over
After three years at the helm,,
Stiteler suddenly was dismissed ini
the spring of 1951 and Ray George,,
line coach for one month, was’
moved to head coach.
George has resigned as head coach
to go into private business, and
A&M must find a coach on short
notice to lead the coaching stafi.
The players apparently feel Mi
chalske is the best man for the
job.
Which is exactly what A&M
needs.
