in Booneville, Ky., in 1888,
be able to keep his own research
interest alive and also be able to
bring fr - esb facts and problems
back with him to the class room.”-
Besides having a major role in
the forming of the agricultural ec
onomics department, Gabber was
asked by the late Gov. Buford Jes
ter to help with his tax study pro
gram. This program was designed
to get better cooperation between
state and local units.
“We worked on such problems
as farm property tax, the asses
sing and collecting of taxes and
other things.”
About this same time Gabber
was asked to be a member of the
, , „ .. T . National Planning Association.
gia( uaU ! l om 16 ni • “Oh that,” Gabber said laughingly,
o ennessee in . o v l i as everybody received such
' m « eneral “sncultuve. honors everyday, “it doesn't take
up much time—just meets annual
ly.”
Actually Gabber is a member of
the Committee of the South which
works out plans that will receive
problems affecting industry and
agriculture in the south.
In 1949 Gabber was asked to be
!
hen served as assistant pro-
at Wisconsin university un-
1, when he received his MS
(cultural economics,
he early part of 1922 Gab-
"ae to Texas to work for the
- ^Offltural Extension service as
>f the division of farm and
economics.

'al economics department was
hrate, division in those days
»’e spent most of our time in
kh,” recalled Gabber. “But
a delegate to the United Nations
—“Oh yes, 1949 it was—I didn’t
do anything, just went as repre
sentative of the Agricultural Ex
periment station, and division of
land economics.”
Despite his busy life Gabber has
found the time to instill in his
three sons such a desire to suc
ceed that their accomplishments
alone would make his life a suc
cess story.
Jim is an M.D. (chest surgeon
in St. Louis), Lester is a D.V.M.
(practicing in Mexico), and Bruce
is working on his Ph.D at Wiscon
sin university.
“Bruce is doing pharmaceutical
research—trying to find a drug
that will help fight cancer,” Gab
ber said proudly.
Since retiring as head of the
agricultural economics department
in 1953, Gabber has been on lim
ited duty-—but still does enough
work to keep the average person
busy.
But on Friday and Saturday it’s
a sure bet that if he’s not at his
home at 207 Lee St., he’ll be 'out
at his farm on Turkey Creek -—
“Messing around with my cows.”
arations for what appears to be
the toughest undertaking attempt
ed by the Longhorns since they
first went in for this rugged rec
reation 61 years ago, according to
their sports publicity department.
Ed Price’s defending Southwest
Conference co-champions will open
their schedule Sept. 18th against
LSU, less than three weks after
the opening day of practice. Two-
a-day drills are set for the first
ten days of training, with after
noon sessions only billed for the
wek prior to the LSU game.
Twelve lettermen from last
year’s team will be missing from
the scene, but Price will have 22
award winners for his rebuilding
nucleus. Approximately 45 other
candidates will report for train
ing, two-thirds of whom will be
varsity squadmen for the first
time.
One of the major problems fac
ing the Longhorns will be finding
replacements at end for Carlton
Massey, an all-American perform
er, and Gilmer Spring, who was
named to numerous all-conference
teams. Other spots to fill include
right guard, right halfback, and
fallback. (
Phil Branch was a two-year all
conference performer at right
guard, while Dougal Cameron was
the team’s leading ball carrier
from the fullback position. Both
concluded their eligibility, while
Ed Kelley, the rugged right half
back, sits out this season because
of scholastic deficiency.
Lettermen are expected to take
over as replacements at most of
the spots, with Guard Ben Wood-
son the sophomore most likely to
battle his way into the starting
lineup. Ends Mepan Schriewer
and Don Jones, both lettermen,
will be challenged by promising
sophs like Morton Moriarty and
Mike Trant.
Billy Quinn, a soph sensation in
’52, and George Robinson, a two
some that shared right halfback
ing with Kelley last year, are ex
pected to be leading candidates at
fullback and right halfback, re
spectively. Quinn missed half of
last season because of injury.
Last year regulars who will
start at the head of their class
again include Tackles Jim Lans-
ford and Herb Gray, Guard Kirby
Miller, Center Johnny Tatum,
Quarterback Charley Brewer, and
Left Halfback Delano Womeck.
Brewer was the team’s No. 1 pass
er last year, while Womack was
the top scorer and runner-up in
rushing.
The probable lineup includes
three seniors (Lansford, Miller,
Quinn), seven juniors, (Schriewer,
Jones, Gray, Tatum, Brewer, Wom
ack, Robinson), and one soph,
(Woodson).
Texas Tech
Texas Tech’s Red Raiders re
port for football workouts Sept. 1
with 22 lettermen from the team
that vaulted into the national
sports picture last season.
Coach DeWitt also expects two
lettermen from previous seasons,
seven junior college transfers, 15
freshman letter winners, and three
squadmen. Separate freshman
workouts will be conducted, but
some first year men—eligible un
der Border conference rules—will
also woi’k with the varsity.
Only four starters—Tackle Jer
ry Walker, Center Dwayne West,
Quarterback Jack Kirkpatrick, and
Fullback Jim Sides—return from
the 1953 national scoring cham
pions who won the Border con
ference and took a 35-13 win over
Auburn in the Gator bowl. Tech
compiled a 10-1 regular season
mark, losing only to Texas A&M.
The Raiders open against the Ag
gies at College Station Sept. 18.
Among the 16 lettermen lost
were three all-Border conference
players—Halfback Bobby Cavazos,
Tackle Jimmy Williams, and Guard
Don Gray. Returning all-confer
ence players are Walker, Kirkpat
rick, and Sides.
Texas Christian University
With more question marks than
exclamation points, Coach Abe
Martin will call his second TCU
football team together Wednesday
morning, Sept. 1.
Martin indicated the team would
do a lot of rough work early. A
first scrimmage will be held on
Sept. 4. Workouts will be held
9-11 a.m. dnd fr«.m 4-6 p.m. daily.
T here will also be noon and night
skull sessions as needed.
A late check indicates that 54
candidates will answer the opening
call. One end prospect. Soph
Keith Miles, has joined the army.
There have been rumors of other
losses too, but none of these in
volve keymen.
The TCU squad will be one of
the youngest in years. Thirteen
boys are listed as seniors but only
six of them will be using their
final year of eligibility. There are
13 juniors and a bumper crop of
28 sophomores from last year’s
freshman team that won three,
tied one,, and lost one.
As work begins, two positions
are especially troublesome. They
are at right guard, where huge
Claude Roach, the senior co-cap
tain, was lost in June via ineligi
bility, and on the ends. Co-Cap
tain Johnny Crouch and Letterman
Bryan Engram return at the
wings, but behind them is a scar
city of both manpower and exper
ience. •
In all, the Frogs have only 12
lettermen and one, big Bill Mat-
tern eanied his award as a de
fens; ve specialist at guard on the
1951 championship team. He’s
Icon in the army since. If he can
get in shape, Mattern may relieve
some of the pressure at right
guard.
University of Arkansas
Forty-five Arkansas Razorbacks
will report to Coach Bowden Wy
att Wednesday morning for the
first of 34 fall practice sessions
that will lead them to their open
er Sept. 25 with the Tulsa Hurri
canes.
Facing an ambitious ten-week
itinerary that will carry them well
over 5,000 miles, the 1954 squad
will be composed of 25 sophomores,
14 jursiors, and drily a haTf-dozeri
seniors. Only 11 lettermen will be
on hand for Wyatt’s second Ar
kansas team, five of them hold
overs from the starting lineup
that closed against Tulsa last No
vember.
Wyatt has announced that his
training pace will b<f fast from the
beginning.—a carryover from his
stepped-up schedule last March.
As he has stated many times
over the summer, the Porker head
coach plans to make wide use of
his newcomers in the 1954 season.
At several positions he has no oth
er choice. Thera are no lettermen
returning at end, center, or tail
back.
The center slot was alternated
throughout the 1953 season with
no one player considered a stnad-
out. Charlie Ramsey wound up as
the starter at the season’s end, but
there was a clean sweep of the
position before the spring.
At tailback and end, the two-
man wrecking crew of Lamar Mc-
Han and Floyd Sagely are gone,
and gaping holes are all that re
main. A sophomore is assured of
McHan’s old position with a quar
tet of them on hand; while a
sprinkling of five juniors and
three sophs—none of them letter-
men—will try to patch up the two
end posts.
The practice schedule calls for
two-a-day workouts from Sept. 1
through Sept. 15, and one-a-day
from then on.
Baylor University
Wednesday morning Baylor Un
iversity starts getting ready for
its 53rd football campaign.
Coach George Sauer and his
assistants have made plans to
work with a squad of some 62
players. Two-a-day drills are on
the agenda as the Bears plunge
right into intense preparations for
their season opener against the
University of Houston Sept. 18.
Guards Wayne Culvahouse and
Clarence Dierking, soph End
George Stinson, and Guard Henry
Rutherford were among the early
arrivals. A dozen or so other can
didates reported in Sunday, with
the remainder of the squad ar
riving Monday.
Tuesday there was a squad meet
ing, a physical examination of the
players, then issuing of practice
equipment. The Bruin coaches
