Wednesday, March 14, 1956 THE BATTALION Page 3 Baseball Game Postponed Until Thursday or Friday Weather more suited for duck hunting than baseball has forced postponement of A&M’s non-con- ( ference game with Texas Luther an, Scheduled for Kyle Field at 3 p.m. today. The teams will square off to morrow, if possible, with the game moved back to Friday if the ele ments remain the same. Saturday the Aggies will journey to Seguin for the second of the home-and- home series. A&M downed the Lutherans, 6-3, last year in Se guin. “This weather is hurting us,” said Coach Beau Bell. “We need the hitting practice badly. The boys are coming around slowly and need a lot of improvement.” Undefeated in three games so far this season, the Aggies meet Texas Lutheran twice and the Uni versity of Houston once before hosting SMU in the conference opener on March 24.

Knox A&M Quarterback Job Paced by Ex-Fullback By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor A&M’s distorted quarterback picture was focused sharp ly yesterday when Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant named Roddy Osborne, an ex-fullback, as his number one field general “until someone beats him out.” “Osborne, as of t.oday, is our quarterback,” said Coach Bryant yesterday after again reviewing the films of Sat urday’s game-condition scrim-+ mage. "His defense is so much better than the rest of the quarterbacks that it’s no contest in that department.” ONE OF SEVEN players who changed positions at the start of spring drills, tjie 175-pound Gaines ville junior (next year) led the Ca dets in punting and runs with pass interceptions last fall. He missed Saturday night’s scrimmage be cause of a bruised back. “None of our quarterbacks have been outstanding up to now,” Bry ant stressed. “I think Jackie Hathorn has improved more than any of them.” With only three more practice sessions left, Coach Bryant was forced to postpone yesterday’s scrimmage because of bad w-eather. He indicated that he would have no scrimmage today and as of yester day had made no definite plans for the remainder of the week. “VERY FEW BOYS were im pressive in Saturday’s scrimmage,” Bryant said. “We thought Lloyd Hale, Dennis Goehring, Bobby Keith, Gene Stallings, Bobby Marks (most of the time), Jack Pardee, Richard Gay (part of the time) and Dee Powell looked good.
