Aggies Work Hard on Offense, Defense;
Bryant Names Five Starters for Tech
By JERRY WIZIG
Battalion Sports. Editor
Short on numbers but long on
spirit, A&M’s football squad di
vided time between offense and de
fense Wednesday, and at the end of
the day, Head Coach Paul Bryant
announced five of his starters for
the opener with Texas Tech.
Bryant said that co-captain Ben
nie Sinclair will start at right end,
Larry Winkler and co-captain Nor-
bert Ohlendorf at tackles, Elwood
Kettler at quarterback and Don
Kachtick at fullback.
After the Red and Blue teams
ran plays and worked on defense
against the White team, Bryant
said, “I think we have a wonder
ful bunch of kids. I believe that
they’}! really get a lot of mileage
for what they have.”
On the Reds were Sinclair and
Donald Robbins at ends, Winkler
and Ohlendorf at tackles, Marvin
Tate and Ray Barrett at guards,
Richard Vick at center, Kettler at
quarterback, Don Watson and Joe
Schero at halfbacks and Don Kach-
tik at fullback.
Scott, Henderson Shift
The Blues had Charlie Scott and
Gene Henderson alternating at
quarter, Billy Huddleston and Jack
Pardee at halfbacks and Bob Eas
ley at fullback.
Under the sharp eyes of Bryant
and his eight-man coaching staff,
the thin squad was kept on the
move throughout the hour and a
half session.
After loosening up exercises, the
Blue team went on defense against
plays run by the Whites, then the
Red eleven tried its hand on de
fense.
When their defensive drill was
over, the Reds and Blues unreeled
their offensive tricks, with Kettler
and Scott shouting out signals in
loud, sharp tones.
Watson, Schero Shine
Henderson, a transfer from San
Angelo Junior college, got off
some nice punts when the two
teams went to work on punt re
turns. Watson and Schero flashed
some nice form for the Reds on
runbacks.
Henderson is the quickest and
longest hooter on the squad, but
must improve on his passing and
Raiders ‘Loaded’ for Ags
Kirkpatrick, Walker Head
Talented Tech Gridsters
r Quarterback Jack Kirkpatrick
and Tackle Jerry Walker head a
“loaded” Texas Tech football
team that Saturday night will be
out to revenge their only loss of
last season.
Generally rated as the team to
beat in the Border conference.
Tech, also is ranked high in pre
season national polls. The Red
Raiders lost several fine players
from last year’s squad, including
Halfback Bobby Cavazos, a sec
ond team all-America, but Walk
er and Kirkpatrick reflect the
ability of the returnees.
Walker was all-Border confer
ence in 1953 as a sophomore, and
returns better and bigger than
ever. The starting right tackle,
he is 6 feet, 3, and weighs 227.
His explosive blocking last year
had a lot to do with breaking
Cavazos loose on his long runs.
In his freshman year, Walker
made Tech’s starting lineup on
both offense and defense (those
were the two - platoon days).
After the opener last season
against the Aggies, he was nom
inated for lineman of the week.
He also made all-America honor
able mention on the AP and UP
squads.
Kirkpatrick MVP
Kirkpatrick, also a junior, was
voted the Border conference’s
most valuable player last year,
in addition to making the all
conference team and all-America
honorable mention.
He took over the starting man-
under job in Tech’s third game.
From then through the smashing
Gator Bowl win over Auburn,
he engineered an. offense, that
scored more points than any oth
er in the nation.
Kirkpatrick was second na-<
tionally in kicking points after
touchdown, with 24 of 33. He
averaged nearly 5 yards on 70
carries and completed 22 of 46
passes for 343 yards. Twice

Kirkpatrick returned kickoffs for
100 yards and averaged 51 yards
on 5 of them. He also ran back
14 punts for 144 yards.
But Walker and Kirkpatrick
aren’t the only good players on
Coach DeWitt Weaver’s team.
Weaver has another good man-
under in Jerry Johnson, a co
captain. Halfback Rick Spinks,
Fullback- Jimmy Sides and End
Claud Harland are three other
players who will bear watching.
Spinks ran for five touchdowns
and a 6.2 yard average in ’53.
Harland caught four passes for
62 yards.
Tech lost 16 lettermen from
the ’53'champs, including seven
first-stringers, but the Raiders
will field a pretty good team
against the Aggies.
ballhandling. Kettler and Scott
looked good at times in handing off
and pitching out, but they also have
quite a way to go on their passing.
At the end of the workout, one
thing was apparent—there will be
no “Saturday” players on the Ag
gie squad. Bryant has made it
clear that if the gridsters don’t
hustle in practice, they will sit out
the Saturdays on the bench.
Problem at End
With Bill Schroeder and Paul
Kennon out of the Tech game, the
Ags also have a serious manpower
problem now at end. Bryant is
left with four, Sinclair, Robbins,
soph Eugene Stallings and Billy
McGowan, a letterman in 1952.
However, Stallings also will miss
today’s workout. He left for Paris
last night to attend the funeral of
his grandmother and won’t return
until tonight or Friday.
Halfback Charles Hall also will
miss the Tech game because of a
shoulder separation.
Kyle Field appeared in fine shape
for Saturday night’s game. A crowd
of about 25,000 is expected for the
8 p.m. kickoff. Tickets were re
ported plentiful Wednesday, al
though several thousand Red Raid
er supporters will make the trip.

Tigers Scrimmage
Hard on Defense
A sharp defensive scrimmage fea
tured A & M Consolidated high
school’s practice session Wednes
day as the Tigers continued work
for Friday’s home game with Mad-
isonville.
Coach Jim Bevans has been drill
ing his squad long and hard in
fundamentals this week, after the
tight 25-19 win over Bremond last
week. The Tiger defense showed
a lot of room for improvement in
that game and Bevans used only
17 players.
Little J. B. Carroll probably will
again get the starting job at quar
terback in Consolidated’s T-forma-
tion offense. Against Bremond,
the scrappy youngster showed
flashes of fine ability, and his
passes to End Jerry Oden played
an important part in the Tiger vic
tory.
Madisonville will attack from a
single wing offense, sparked by
Backs Billy Tinsley, and Billy
Brock. Ronald Stanley is a good
end for the Mustangs, who lost to
Teague,' 20-0, last week.
Last year, Consolidated’s district
champs romped to a 59-0 win.
Ten of the probable Tiger of
fensive starters earned letters last
year, including Right Tackle
George Litton, an all-district pqr-
former. This is the way Consoli
dated will probably look Friday
night, offensively:
Left end, Dick Hickman; left
tackle, Henry Phillips; left guard,
Manuel Garcia; center, Norman
Floeck; right guard, Jack Mcl^eely;
right tackle, Litton; right end, Jer
ry Oden; quarterback, J. B. Car-
roll; right half, Travis Engle-
brecht; left half, Tommy Barker;
fullback, Bobby Joe Wade.
Wade is the only returning star
ter of last season’s race-horse
baekfield. Phillips is the only play
er on the list who didn’t lettcf in
1953.
Les Bingaman, Detroit itphs
guard, now weighs 349 pounds. He
weighed 245 pounds when he was

I WAS AWARDED A RIBBON
AND PROMPTLY PUT IT IN MY TYPEWRITER
First of all—how come?
How do I come to be writing a column for Philip Morris in your
campus newspaper?
I’ll tell ypu how come:
It all began on a summer night. The air was warm, the sky was
full of stars, and I sat in a cane-bottomed chair on my verandah,
peaceful and serene, smoking a cigarette, humming the largo from
Death and T vans figuration, and worming my dog.
Into this idyllic scene came a stranger — a tall, clean limbed
stranger, crinkly-eyed and crooked-grinned, loose and lank. “How
do you do,” he said. “My name is Loose Lank and I am with the
Philip Morris people.”
“Enchanted,” I said. “Take off your homburg and sit down.” I
clapped my hands. “Charles!” I called. “Another chair for Mr. Lank.”
Obediently my dog trotted away and returned directly with a
fan-back chair of Malayan rattan. He is the smartest dog in our block".
“I’m sorry I don’t have a Morris chair,” I said to Mr. Lank. “That
would be rather more appropriate — you being with Philip Morris
and all.”
Well, sir, we had many a laugh and cheer over my little witticism.
When we had finished laughing and cheering, we wiped our eyes and
Mr. Lank pulled out a fresh package of Philip Morris. He yauked
the tape and the pack sprang open with a fetching little snap.
“Did you hear that fetching little snap?” asked Mr. Lank.
“Yes,” I said, for I did.
“Cigarette?” he said.
“Thank you,” I said.
We puffed contentedly for three or four hours. Then Mr. Lank
said, “I suppose you’re wondering why I’m here.”
“Well,” I replied, my old eyes twinkling, “I’ll wager you didn’t
come to read my meter.” . P
You.can imagine how we howled at that one!
“That’s a doozy!” cried Mr. Lank, giggling wildly. “I must re
member to tell it to Alice when I get home.”
“Your wife?” I said.
“My father,” he said.
“Oh,” I said.
“Well,” he said, “let’s get down to business . . . How would vou like
to write a campus column for Philip Morris?”
“For money?” I said.
“Yes,” he said.
“My hand, sir,” I said and clasped his. Warmly he returned the
pressure, and soft smiles played on our lips, and our eyes were bright
with the hint of tears, and we were silent, not trusting ourselve=
to speak.
“Cigarette?” he said at length.
I nodded.
We lit up and puffed contentedly for eight or ten hours. "I under
stand you’ve made quite a study of college students,” said Mr. Lank.
“Yes,” I said, blushing modestly. “I have been collecting rnem fot,
years. I have over four thousand students in my basement right now.*T
“In mint condition?” he said incredulously.
“Students don’t come in mint condition,” I explained. “They go to
great expense to acquire the ‘heat-up look.’ ”
“How interesting,” he said. “Tell me something more about them—’’l
their feeding habits, for example.” ^
“They are omnivores of prodigious appetite,” I said. “It is wise
not to leave food about when they are present. Their favorite food
is a dish called the Varsity Gasser — one scoop raspberry ice, one
scoop raw hamburger, leechee nuts and maple syrup.”
“Fascinating,” said Mr. Lank. “And what are students interested
in chiefly?”
“Each other,” I replied. “Boy students are interested in girl
students, and girl students are interested in boy students.”
This seems to me an admirable arrangement,” said Mr. Lank.
“But is it true even in these parlous days of worldwide tension and
dreadful armaments?”
“It is always; true,” I said. “It isn’t that college students don’t
know what’s going on in the world. They know all too well. They’re
perfectly aware of the number of lumps waiting for them . . . But
meanwhile the limbs are springy and the juices run strong and
time is fleeting.”
“What will you write about in your column?” asked Mr. Lank. j
“About boys and girls,” I said. “About fraternities and sororities!
and dormitories and boarding houses and dances and sleighrides*
and hayrides and cutting classes and going to classes and cramming
for exams and campus politics and the profits of bookstores and con
vertibles and BMOCs and BWOCs and professors who write new £
texts every year and the world’s slowest humans — the page boys
at the library.”
“And will you say a pleasant word about Philip Morris from time
to time?” asked Mr. Lank.
“Sir,” I replied, “I can think of no other kind of word to say about
Philip Morris.”
W e shook hands again then, and smiled bravely. Then he was gone
— a tall silhouette moving erectly into the setting sun. “Farewell,
good tobacconist!” I cried after him. “Aloha, aloha!”
And turned with a will to my typewriter. ©Max shuiman. 1954
