BLACK’S PHARMACY EAST GATE — and — • RIDGECREST PHARMACY 3511 HWY. 6 Intrasquad Game Climaxes Day By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor Part, but not all, of the curtain goes up tomorrow night on Paul (Bear) Bryant’s second football team at A&M when the Maroons and Whites tangle at 7:30 on Kyle field. The game is only the ninth day of spring practice for the Aggies, who started Feb. 22. The Maroons, dubbed the “Li’l Ole Men” by the coaching staff, will have 1954 starter Elwood Kettler at quarterback, the fellow who “can’t pass” but still led the Southwest con ference in total offense last year. Sophs Bobby Conrad and Jimmy Wright, whom Bryant says have more natural ability than Kettler, will c*tll plays for the Whites, along with freshman Luther Hall, a February ♦enrollee. The Maroons, coached by Students Get Sport Variety AT A&M A&M students don’t have to be an all-American to take an active part in athletics here. , While the major sports get most of the spotlight, AggieS can take part in intramurals, fencing, wrestling, boxing, soccer, rifle, pis tol, handball, softball, bowling, gymnastics and others. 1 About 95 per cent of Aggies participate in the intramural pro gram, one of the largest in the world. The program offers flag football, softball, track, ci’oss- country, swimming, handball, vol leyball, golf, tennis, basketball, wrestling 1 , ping pong,, bowling and other sports. The A&M fencing team is de fending Southwest confei’ence champion. The A&M soccer team won the International Soccer league last year, and the varsity rifle team took the 1954-55 SWC title, defeating Rice, TCU, Baylor, SMU and Texas. Five Aggie boxers won regional Golden Gloves titles at Waco in January and three competed in the state tourney. The handballers have beaten Rice and SMU and lost to Texas this year. A&M wrestlers won a fourth and two fifth places at the Pan-American games tryout in San Antonio against some of the best wrestlers in the country. Pitcher Bob Purey of the Pitts burgh Pirates had a perfect field ing average in 1954. He handled 56 chances without an error to lead the National League hurlers in fielding. Jim Owens, Willie Zapalac, Tom Tipps, Jerry Claiborne and Larry Winkler, will have 10 of A&M’s 12 returning letter- men. The Whites, guided by Phil Cutchin, Elmer Smith, Pat James and Bennie Sinclair, will have the more talented players of the ’54 Fish team. Bryant will watch from the press box. Starting lineups are: Maroons — Ends, Bobby Drake Keith, who lettered as a halfback last season, and letterman Gene Stallings; tackles, letterman Dar rell Brown and squadman Bobby Lockett; guards, Dee Powell, a ’54 letterman at tackle, and ‘T’-winner Dennis Goehring; Center, letterman Herb Wolf; quarterback, Kettler; halfbacks, letterman Don Watson and squad- man Gene Henderson; fullback, let terman Jack Pardee. Whites—Ends, Dean Meeks and Bobby Marks; tackles, Charles Krueger and Jack Powell; guards, Jim Stanley and Paul Lillard; cen ter, Lloyd Hale; Quarterback, Conrad; halfbacks, John Crow and Ed Dudley; full back, Roddy Osborne. Hale and Powell are the only letter-winners, the rest will be playing their first varsity year. Biggest problems facing the Ag gie coaching staff are filling holes left in the line by departing letter- men and developing a potent pass ing attack to go with the ground game. The answers will have to come from the 63 players, predom inantly sophomores who will suit up tomorrow night. Tickets for tomorrow’s sports events, sponsored by the ‘T’ as sociation, sell for $1 and ,are good for admission to all. They are on sale at the booth in the Memorial Student Center, at the student activities office in Good win hall and by any member of the ‘T’ association.
