7 1 HERE’S WHAT YOU DO—Elwood Kettler (center), head coach for the air force, tells back Charlie Ritchie (left 7 how he wants the next play run. The air force meets the army in the third annual 12th Man Bowl game Thursday afternoon. Tickets are 50 cents and can be bought from unit athletic officers, at the student activities office in Good win hall, or at Kyle field before the game. Bowl Squads Put On Pads Army and air force teams ran through their first .scrim mages in pads yesterday. Only two workout periods remain before the teams meet Thursday in the 12th Man Bowl. The defensive units dominated most of the play, as the offensive teams had trouble getting- their plays to work. “We didn’t get to work out very long, today,” said Bennie Sinclair, coach of the army squad, “and possibly for that reason we didn’t seem to get the timing on our blocking down just right.” Army line coaches Lawrence Winkler and Lloyd Hale agreed that their charges were looking “very good.” They singled out linemen Roy Millen, Wendell Baker, Paul Beck man, William Abraham, and Bobby Goble. “I think our team looked sur prisingly good for the first day in pads,” said air force coach Elwood Kettler,” and they were improving toward the last of the scrim mage.” Both teams plan a longer and harder scrimmage for today.
