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.

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.
