A MAR.D ROUUEP. f Roach Solves SMU’s Quarterback Problem ricmgie 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- 90c LUNCH Served from 11 until 2 PLATE LUNCHES Soup or Juice — 2 Vegetables Meat — Coffee or Tea — Dessert Triangle Banquet Room OPEN FOR ALL LUNCHEONS, DINNERS, RECEPTIONS, WEDDINGS AND BANQUETS — By Reservation Only — "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. SWC’s Lightest Guard TAILOR MADE GREENS $23.## — THREE DAY DELIVERY — Perfect Fit Guaranteed HORNAK’S UNIFORM TAILORS North Gate 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.

Main 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.
