ies Look Ready for Best Game
Keyed-Up Players
Ready for Upset
Apparently pepped up for their top effort of the season,
A&M’s thin but determined Cadets leave tonight for Satur
day’s game with a potentially great Baylor team.
After his varsity worked out in shoulder pads and sweat
pants yesterday, Coach Paul Bryant announced that 33 or
34 players would make the trip by bus tonight after supper.
The team is due to leave at 7 p.m. and will stay at the Roose
velt hotel.
Saturday’s game features A&M’s pass defense, best in
the nation, against the aerial thrusts of Baylor quarterback
Billy Hooper, leading passer in the Southwest conference.
, The duel between Hooper and Aggie man-under Elwood Ket-
tier also should keep the Bay- ]ast yearj 2 f. 20 in 1952 _ and tied
lor homecoming crowd on
i edge.
A crowd of about 37,000 is
expected for the 2 p.m. kick
off, to watch A & M try for its
first victory over Baylor since
1947. Baylor has won the last
two games by one point—14-13
BILL SCHROEDER-Coach
Paul Bryant says Schroe-
der plays ‘all - out every
minute.’ The 200 pound
starting tackle has been one
of the Aggies’ most consis
tent players.

21-21 in 1951.
Yesterday’s light drill concen
trated on brushing up offensive
plays, defensive patterns and
kicking. The Aggies appeared in
their best spirits of the week as
they romped through the drill. A
15 minute session,is scheduled for
this afternoon.
Bryant announced this probable
starting lineup: Left end, Jack
Pardee or Billy McGowan; left
tackle, Bill Schroeder; left guard,
Ray Barrett; center, Lloyd Hale;
right guard, Norb Ohlendorf;
right tackle, Larry Winkler; right
end, Bennie Sinclair;
Quarterback, Elwood Kettler;
halfbacks, Don Watson and Joe
Schdro; fullback, Don Kachtik.
Seven players on probable
starting eleven are seniors, and
this will be their last chance to
beat Baylor, another reason why
the Aggies figure to be playing
their best. The seniors are Mc
Gowan, Barrett, Ohlendorf, Wink
ler, Sinclair, Schero and Kachtik.
Five other seniors, halfback
Charlie Hall, end Paul Kennon,
guards Marvin Tate and Sid Ther
iot and center Richard Yick also
will be getting their last crack at
the Bears. Since the seniors
should be eager for a chance to
upend Baylor, Bryant may play
them as much as possible Satur
day.
Bryant indicated he feels Bay
lor is the best team A&M has
faced this year. He said, “We re
alize Baylor has hit the stride
predicted for them and is now one
of the top teams in the country.
We’re confident our boys will give
their best Saturday afternoon.”
Bill Schroeder, starting tackle,
received some praise from Bryant.
Noting that Schroeder hasn’t got
ten much publicity this year, Bry
ant said, “He has played all-out
every minute he’s been in a game.
Bill has been one of our most con
sistent players.”
The Aggies will be in top phys
ical condition, according to Bry
ant. Quarterback Ronald Robbins
returned to practice this week af
ter being out with an injury.
Trainer Charles (Smokey) Har
per was absent from the practice,
however. He was injured Wednes
day when a freshman player ran
into him during a scrimmage.

At approximately 5 p.m. Saturday two Southwest con
ference football teams are going to be out of the race for a
New Year’s Day Cotton bowl berth.
The two conference games of the weekend are Baylor -
A&M and Rice - Texas. All four have lost their SWC opener
and will be out of contention for the title if they lose Satur
day.
This week’s picks are:
A&M 20, Baylor 14.
Rice 21, Texas 13.
SMU 27, Kansas 6.
Mississippi 14, Arkansas 10.
TCU 19, Penn State 14.
The Cadets last week caught playing four quarters like they
TCU off balance in the fourth played in the last half against
quarter with a modified spread and TCU. To us, it looks like the Ca
may use it quite a bit Saturday, dets will be tired of “nice, close”
A&M’s biggest problems are stop- games and spoil Baylor’s * home
ping Billy Hooper’s passing and coming Saturday.
Rice Has More Desire
At the start of the season, it was
thought the Rice-Texas game
would go a long way toward de
ciding the conference champ.' Now
it’s a game between, at the mo
ment, two also-rans, but a near
capacity crowd is expected at
Houston.
The pick is Rice because the
Owls have had more desire, and
because Dicky Moegle isn’t likely
to have two bad games in a row.
Still, like somebody said, Texas
is bound to UPSET somebody this
year.
Kansas lost to Oklahoma 65-0
last week, so the Mustangs appear
in for a “breather.” Duane Nutt
threw three touchdown passes
against Rice, and if he’s on, SMU
should win handily.
The Arkansas game counts as
a Southeast conference game for
Ole Miss, and both the Rebs and
Hogs are unbeaten. It should be
one of the great games of the day,

but Johnny Vaught’s boys appear
a little better.
Penn State has beaten Illinois,
Syi’acuse and Virginia and lost to
West Virginia, but this is a home
game for TCU and the Frog op
position has been slightly better.

Soccer Team
Plays Allen
The freshman-laden Aggie
soccer team seeks its third
straight victory of the season
when it meets Allen Academy
today in Bryan.
Game time is 4:45 p.m.
Champion' of their league for
the last three years, the Cadets
now have an overall record of 21

Only two men are gone from last
year’s team.
“It’s the biggest team we’ve
ever had,” said Juan Letts, team
captain from Lima, Peru, “and
with the good freshmen we have
we should go a long way.”
A&M opened the season with a
3-1 win over University of Hous
ton two weeks ago and blanked
Ellington air force, base here last
Sunday, 5-0.

will be against Bryan air force

Besides playing before a large
homecoming crowd, the Tigers
must win to retain a chance for a
share of the district 25-A title.
Consolidated dropped its district
opener last week to Katy by a 20-7
margin while Sealy defeated Cy-
press-Fairbanks 14-6. The Sealy
win has most veteran observers in
the area pointing at them as the
team to beat for the district crown.
With a season mark of four
wins and two losses, Sealy faces
the Tigers in the favorite’s role by
a touchdown margin. The losses
came at the hands of class AA
teams Columbus and West Colum
bia, both undefeated until last
week.
