THE BATTALION
Page 3
Frogs 10th In Nation,
Ags Drop to 12th Place
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Writer
TCU took the lead in the
Southwest Conference foot
ball race today — that is if
you use the Associated Press’
national rankings as a guide.
The Aggies, who humbled the
Horned Toads earlier this season,
19-16, were dropped one knotch to
12th place while TCU broke into
the 10th spot, 147 votes ahead of
A&M,.
Despite the sports writer’s grac
ious gesture toward the Froggies,
A&M still leads the Conference
“officially” with two wins, no
losses and a tie. . Texas and TCU
are tied for second place with 2-1
won-lost records.
Right now the Aggie players and
coaches aren’t as worried about
national rankings as they are with
the mammoth SMU Mustangs,
who they face Saturday night.
“I don’t know how much they
outweight us, but it’s a whole
lot,” said Coach Paul Bryant,
yesterday after practice,” Ya’
know, it takes a pretty cou
rageous little fellow to line-up
against all those big fellas.”
The SMU forward wall, anchor
ed by such heavies as 256 pound
Tiny Goss and 240 pound Eric Kne-
bel, will out weight Bryant’s
“Light Brigade” by almost 23
pounds per man.
Dennis Goehring, A&M’s start
ing right guard, will have the job
of moving either Goss or Knebel
Saturday. Dennis weighed in just
shy of 183 pounds after practice
yesterday.
The Cadets and Ponies have no
common foe this season, but an in
dication of the strength of the two
LOYD HALE has been one of the most consistent per
formers in the Aggies’ light forward wall this season.
Weighing in at only 188 pounds, Loyd has pushed heavier
opponents, like TCU’s Hugh Pitts, all over the field.

squads can be seen in SWC sta
tistics. SMU ranks just ahead of
A&M in both offense and defense,
having gained 309.8 yards on the
attack and given up only 211 yards
on defense. A&M has an average
of 302.3 yards per game on of
fense, and 214 on defense.
Coach Bryant seemed pleased
with the Aggie practice yesterday.
The Aggies had a short scrimmage
under game conditions, and worked
on defense against SMU plays.
The slashing running of full
back George Gillar, and the pass
ing of Grant, Wright, Watson and
Crow were the high points of the
afternoon.
“Gillar’s looking far better
than anyone on offense, and
stands a good chance of start
ing Saturday,” Bryant remark
ed, “Conrad will probably
start somewhere too, maybe at
right halfback.”
In six straigfit games now, the
Aggies haven’t had a punt re
turned against them. They have
kicked 30 times and allowed 28
yards in returns, all in the UCLA
game, for an average of only 0.9
yards per-runback.

Open Workouts
With Scrimmage
A&M’s 1955-56 basketball
team opened workouts yester
day as head coach Ken Loeff-
ler put both squads through
a 45-minute scrimmage.
Loeffler divided the 39 candi
dates into four teams and worked
them at the same time on passing
and ball handling. He sent the var
sity in early and watched the 22
freshmen hopefuls. He will cut both
squads to 12 men.
“George Mehaffey, Fritzie Con
nelly and Roger Harvey seem to be
a little further advanced,” said
Loeffler, “and may become the
core of the team.” He added that
shooting and speed will get first
priority on the selection of the
starting lineup.
Varsity candidates and experi
ence: John Fortenberry—Sr. 2L;
Bill Brophy—Jr. 1L; Roger Har
vey— Jr. 1L; George Mehaffey—
Jr. 1L; Ted Harrod—Jr. 1L; Don
Bilbrey—Jr. 1L; John Henry—Jr.

BOBBY JOE CONRAD will “start somewhere” for the
Aggies Saturday according to Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant.
The versatile Clifton sophomore has been used at three
positions so far this season, quarterback, end and halfback.
Bryant had another such versatile player at Kentucky—
He was Steve Meilinger, an all-American.

Squadron 16 Tops
A-QMC In Football
By JOE DAN BOYD
Intramural Sports Writer
Dick Clements ran and passed a hustling Squadron 16
football team to its second victory in freshmen intramurals
Monday.
Dominating the entire game, but scoring only once, the
Sqd. 16 Fish refused to allow a single penetration in their 6-0
triumph over A-QMC.
Bobby McMillan and Denny Up-
ham were the key figures in the
Quartermaster defense, while Ray
Hart looked good on offense. Mc
Millan was also a standout at quar
terback, executing some fine pass
ing plays.
A Clement pass snagged by Pete
Gould set up the Sqd. 16 scoring
drive which ended with Paul Mar
tin taking another Clement toss
over for the tally. The conversion
try was no good.
Duncan Watwood and Paul Mar
tin guarded the Sqd. 16 line with
complete authority. Both showed
versatility, standing out on both
offense and defense.
In another football thriller B-
Composite’s Eugene Simms capital
ized on a Sqd. 19 bobble. The
Sqd. 19 quarterback juggled the
pigskin on a bad pass from center,
and in his effort to hold onto the
ball, Simms came in, took the ball
and was over for a touchdown to
tie the game. Sqd. 19 won on
penetrations.
Sqd. 18 downed A-Composite by
two penetrations; Sqd. 7 blanked
A-Chemical 12-0; and A-Signal
walloped Sqd. 15 15-0.
