Quarterback Problem

DRIVE IN
DINING ROOM
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Only the absence of a prov
en quarterback kept SMU
from unanimously winning
the favorite’s role in pre-sea-
son SWC polls, and a quick
glance at the statistics shows that’s
no problem now.
Lanky John Roach, who already
is a cinch for all-confei'ence honors
with some sports writers, is men
tioned almost everywhere in the
conference’s records.
ROACH LEADS the leagne in
punting with an average of 40.7
yards on 16 kicks, is second in total
offense with 801 yards, second in
passing with 574 yards on 38 com
pletions in 98 throws, and third in
punt returns. His 82-yard return
of a punt against Rice for a touch
down helped stun the Owls, 20-0.
“He’s great, there’s no doubt
about it,” said Assistant Coach
Jerry Claiborne, who scouted the
Mustangs, “I’d say he’s. the best
quarterback we’ll face this year.”
Second place finishers last year,
the Ponies were the only conference
team to defeat the champion Ar-

"kansas Razorbacks. An exti’a-point
kick in the 13-13 tie with Texas
last year would have put them in
the Cotton Bowl. The Mustangs
have 20 out of 28 lettermen return
ing—including all but one starter
in the center of the line.
Halfbacks Don Mcllhenny and
John Marshall aiid fullback Hal
O’Brien are acknowledged as the
“best running trio in the loop on
one team.”
UP FRONT the Mustangs are
magnificent and monstrous. They
will outweigh the Aggies almost
23 pounds per man in the line.
Don Goss, 256, Eric Knebel, 240,
and Foi-rest Gregg, 225, form the
center of the Pony line. Cadet
guard Dennis Goehring will have
the task of Hying to move Goss
and Knebel Saturday night. Den
nis weighed in at 183 pounds this
week.
“Let’s see, there’s about 73
pounds difference in me and Goss,”
mused Goehring, “Boy! that’s a
lotta difference.”
Bruising Jack Pardee is A&M’s
leading gainer at present with 352
yards gained on 63 carries for an
average of 5.7 yards per carry.
John Crow, back in form again, is
second with 261 yards picked up in
44 trips. Pardee and Crow rank
fourth and 10th respectively among
SWC ball carriers.
Bill Dendy has the best average
gain with 7.9 yards. He has ripped
off 184 yards in 26 jaunts. Quar
terback Jimmy Wright is the best
Cadet passer so far with 210 yai’ds
and three touchdowns gained on
16 completions. End Bobby Marks
is No. 1 in receiving with seven
catches for 94 yards.
PARDEE LEADS in scoring
with 24 points. Loyd Taylor is
second with 16. Ed Dudley tops
the Aggies’ punters with a healthy
45.8 average on four kicks, and
Grow leads in punt returns with
49 yards on four returns.

Dennis Is Menace
To Bigger Foes
By BARRY HART
Battalion Sports Writer
Dennis Goehring has a strong claim on the title of
“watchcharm guard.” Weighing in at 183 pounds the Aggies’
starting right guard is the lightest man in the Southwest
Conference at that position.
Named Lineman of the Week by the Dallas Morning
News for his terrific play against Baylor, Goehring more than
makes up for his lack of size with his aggressive style of
action and tremendous desire.
The San Marcos Junior was “the top performer in a
great Aggie line” said News Sports Editor Bill Rives. A&M’s
fast-charging line received Baylor coach George Sauer’s
credit for downing the heavier Bears.
Goehidng’s aggressive play caus-
“THIS, FELLAS, IS A BALL” says Aggie basketball coach
Ken Loeffler to two of A&M’s top returning lettermen,
George Mehaffey (left) and Roger Harvey. The Cadets
started basketball drills Monday.

ed two Baylor fumbles, and coach
Paul (Bear) Bryant said, “All our
linemen played well, but Dennis
was outstanding. It was his best
game of the year.”
After reviewing the game
movies, Bryant had more praise for
the smallest of his “Seven
Dwarfs”: “Goehring was the star
of the game. His tackle jarred
the ball from quarterback Bobby
Jones’ hands on the second play of
the game.’ We recovered the ball
on the 17-yard line and two plays
later scored—behind a block by
Dennis. He was the star of the
game.”
Clark Nealon, Sports Editor of
the Houston Post, has, placed
Goehring on his list of candidates
for all-Southwest Conference hon
ors along with Texas’ Herb Gray
and big Don Goss of SMU. Dennis
has also been mentioned for the
Houston Post’s outstanding line
man award, as well as the potential
all-American list.
A letterman in 1954 as a sopho
more, Goehring played under Mar
vin Tate and participated in 470
plays. His speed and desire earned
him the starting right guard posi
tion over another junior letterman,'
Dee Powell, and along with his
running mate, Jim Stanley, and
center Loyd Hale, Dennis is large
ly responsible for the chunks of
running room Jack Pardee has
found through the Aggie middle.
A four-year letterman in foot
ball at San Marcos High School,
Goehring was all-district in his
junior and senior years, but A&M
was the only school to offer him a
scholarship.
