Versatile Bruins Pose
Lofty Hurdle for Aggies
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
On their last two October
migrations to Kyle Field the
surly Bears dashed A&M’s
promising title hopes — and
•fierce rumblings from the
Waco den indicate that Baylor ex
pects to do it again Saturday.
Chances of seeing the A&M-
Baylor clash on television appear
dim today, as an estimated 7,800
tickets are still available. The
game cannot be televised unless
it is a sellout.

I A&M’s great 1951 team, a pre
season choice for the Southwest
Conference championship, could do
no better than tie the Golden
Bruins, 21-21, and finally finished
up with a mediocre season record.
The Cadets caught a glint of the
crown in 1953, but Baylor’s rowdy
crew stunned the then unbeaten
Aggies 14-13.
“Don’t expect us to look as good
against Baylor .as we did last Sat
urday,” says Assistant Coach Pat
James, “The Bears have a more
versatile and more balanced ball
club than TCU, and are a lot bet
ter than most people give them
credit.
COACH GEORGE Sauer has
stressed defense this fall, as op
posed to his offensive-minded doc
trine of the past two frustrating
years, and Baylor’s excellent show
ing last Saturday goes a long way
in proving his point.
After unbeaten Washington had
gone ahead 7-0, just 3:56 deep in
the second quarter, Baylor from
then on held the Huskies to a mi
nus 5 yards on the ground. In the
last two-thirds of the contest the
Bears picked up 178 yards rushing
and 61 passing.
THE GREEN and Gold have 17
returning lettermen off last year’s
team that dumped the Aggies 20-7,
and a surplus of sophomores from
last season’s Cub team that wal
loped the Fish 38-14.
Coach Paul Bryant sent his hard-
nosed gridders through defensive
drills against Baylor plays yester
day, and brushed up offensive plays
with Donnie Grant, Jimmy Wright
and Don Watson alternating at the
I man-under position.
Among several standouts in this
week’s practice sessions so far have
been Billy Huddleston, Gene Hen
derson, Bill Dendy, Ken Hall, Lloyd
Hale, Dennis Goehring and Murry
Trimble.
UNLESS JOHN Crows’ injured
leg takes an unexpected turn for
the better, the sophomore star
will miss Saturday’s game.

Trimble Causes
Foes to Tremble
BY BARRY HART
Battalion Sports Writer
Every so often you run across a person who’s tremend
ous heart and fighting spirit offsets a physical handicap that
would defeat the less-courageous.
Such a person plays left guard for the Aggie football
team—184-pound Murry Trimble, who doesn’t let the loss
of an arm hinder his bruising play.
“Whatever he lacks below his elbow he makes up in
heart,” says Line Coach Jerry Claiborne.
Called “Stub” by his teammates, Trimble came here on
the recommendation of Hank Crisp, athletic director of the
University of Alabama, and Aggie assistant coach, Elmer
Smith. Crisp, himself a one-armed athlete, was Coach Bear
Bryant’s line • coach at Ala
bama.
Murry, who lost his left arm
below the elbow at the age of
five when some firecrackers
he was playing with turned out to
be dynamite caps, played tailback
in the Notre Dame Box formation
for two years at Hanceville, Ala
bama High School.
He was chosen for the Alabama
all-star game in 1954, but switched
to the line because his team was
running the split-T. Coach Smith,
there for the coaching school, saw
him “nearly kill two or three boys”
in scrimmage and notified Bryant.
Bryant told him to “use your own
judgment” and A&M had a one-
armed guard.
Trimble, weighing in at only 165
pounds, was just another name of
the 100-odd reporting when train
ing opened for the A&M freshmen
in September, 1954. People said
“Yeah, he’s fast and has a lot of
guts, but . . .,” and sat back to
