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.
In addition to the intrasquad
football game tomorrow night, four
other athletic contests are on tap
for High School day sports fans.
The Aggie swimming team will
take on the freshmen and ineligi-
bles in an intrasquad meet at 2
p.m. in P. L. Downs jr. natatorium.
Outstanding swimmers on the
freshman and ineligible squad in
clude Jose Merino, South American
100 meter freestyle champ; Jerry
Mount, freestyle and backstroke
and Dudley Godfrey, diver. All
three are freshmen.
Tetsuo Okamoto, transfer stu
dent from Bi-azil, placed third in
the 1952 Olympic games in Helsin
ki and is expected to pick up some
firsts in Saturday’s competition.
Chuck Price, with Mount, is co
captain of the undefeated fish
squad which has racked up six
wins in dual meets.
For the varsity. Captain Don
Horne heads a team which is con
sidered an even bet for the South-
west conference swimming title
which will be decided hei - e next
week. Team members who have
looked good while the Aggies were
winning five out of six dual meets
include Dick Weick, Norman Ufer,
Dick Hunkier, John Speich, Bruce
Martin and Home.
The University of Houston base
ball team invades the Kyle field
diamond for a 2 p.m. encounter
