For Aggie Coach
The Texas A&M athletic council
hopes to have a new head coach at
the end of this week.
The council will interview four
prospective candidates for the posi
tion recently vacated by Ray
George, on Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week (Jan. 27-28).
Dean W. L. Penberthy, chairman
of the council, in a press conference
following the Jan. 23 meeting, stat
ed that the council hopes to name
a head coach from the interviews
this week but if an agreement is
not reached with any of the four,
then a new list will be studied.
The council has scheduled inter
views with Johnny Vaught of Mis
sissippi, J. V. Sikes of Kansas,
Dick Todd, SMU assistant last fall
and Mike Michalske, the current
Aggie line coach.
Vaught is the head coach at Ole
Miss where, since 1947, he has en
joyed successful seasons in guiding
the Rebels to their only Southeast
ern conference championship.
Sikes resigned following the
1953 season at Kansas. A former
Aggie star (1926-28) Sikes was
head coach at Kansas from 1948
to 1953.
Todd, also a former A&M star
(1936-38), is a former player and
head coac;h of the Washington Red
skins professional team and was a
part-time assistant at SMU last
fall. He currently lives on a ranch
at Crowell. He was an assistant
coach at A&M in 1949.
Michalske, a former head coach
at Iowa State of the Big Seven,
1941-45, has been line coach at
A&M one season, coming here from
Baylor. An All-American guard
at Penn State in 1927, Michalske
was an all-pro guard at Green Bay
during his tenure there from 1929
to 1937.
The council also announced at the
press conference Jan. 23 that
spring practice would have to be
postponed at least until Feb. 15.
It has been originally set for
Feb. 1.
It was also pointed out by council
members that the new coach will
be given a free reign in the naming
of his assistants. Two of George’s
assistants—Backfield Coaches Dal
ton Faircloth and Gil Steinke—re
signed following the past season.
Faircloth will become head coach
at Greenville high school March 1
while Steinke is the new athletic
director and head coach at Texas
A&I, his alma mater.
