The A. & M. Consolidated Tigers,
with three days practice under
their belts, travel to Hearne to
hold a scrimmage with the Eagles
of that community at 7:30 tonight.
The Tigers and the Eagles are
similar in several respects. This
year, for the first time, finds each
club moving into Class AA com
petition, and both teams have a
total of seven returning lettermen
from their ’55 outfits.
After that, the similarity ab
ruptly ends. The Eagles have 23
squadmen back from last year’s
aggregation; the Tigers have nine
returning squadmen. Hearne will
field a starting line averaging
about 170-175 pounds per man; the
CHS forward wall should average
about 154 per man. Consolidated’s
starting backfield will weigh about
150 pounds per player; the host’s
opening backfield foursome should
average 160.
The Tigers, as did the Eagles,
begin their third yeai’ in the ath- | began their .practice sessions on
letic department after having
served in the experiment station
on the campus.
Monday, which was the earliest
starting date for schools of the
lower classifications (six-man and
B through Class AA). Head Coach
Horace Schaffer and his assist
ants, Line Coach Larry Hayes and
Backfield Mentor Ed Logan, plan
to continue to drill the Tigers in
the same fashion as they have the
past three days until the beginning
of school on Sept. 5 The Bengals
have been going through their
workouts every day at 7:30 in
the morning and again at 5 p.m.
Leading CHS in combat this
season will be Co-captians Garland
Andrews and Bill Hall. They were
elected by the squad earlier this
week.
Coach Schaffer will have five
letter-men, other than Andrews and
Hall, on hand. Two linemen, Stead
man Davis and David McNeely, are
included in this group, along with
a trio of backs—Alton Arnold
Edgar Feldman, and Bill Kava-

the other i-etm-ning squadmen are

Wright, and Dee Smith (the latter
four being in the backfield).
CHS fans, this season, may wit
ness the first “B” team in the his
tory of the College Station school.
Coach Schaffer said that if such
a team is foi-med, they would
probably play a four-game sched
ule during the fast-approaching
grid season.
Two key members of the
1956 CHS football team were
sidelined possibly the rest of
the season by freak injuries
this week.
Jimmy Murphey, 160 lb. senior
tackle, received a shoulder injury
during a routine line drill. The in
jury will hold him out of action for
at least six weeks and possibly the
entire season. Murphey is one of
the three largest men on the Tiger
team.
The other player sidelined this
week was Edgar- Feldman, 153 lb.
sophomore quarterback. Feldman
cracked a bone in the side of his
foot during backfield practice.
There was no bodily contact in
volved. He is expected to be out
of play ^at least four weeks.
Feldman did all of the quarter-
backing last year for the Tigers
No other team member has even
a minute’s experience at that posi
tion.
Alton Arnold, sophomore right
halfback, is expected to fill the
quarterback position tonight in the
scrimmage against the Hearne
Eagles.
ing most of the attention in early
grid workouts, the A&M Consoli

busily preparing for their season
opener on Sept. 20, when they
clash with the Huntsville Hornets.
Head Coach Edsel Jones and as
sistant, Albert Bright, have been
putting the Kittens through prac
tice sessions each day from 4:30
p.m. to about 7 p.m. They will
continue to hold similar workouts
until the beginning of school, at
which time the Kittens wil start
and end practice approximately 30
minutes earlier.
Of the 28 football candidates
who greeted Coach Jones the open
ing day of practice, Monday, only
five were returning lettermen.
Bobby Adams, Jack Armistead,
Condy Pugh, Ronnie Rea,’ and Bob
White are the only lettermen back
from the 1955 squad which cap

First Meeting
The Bi’yan-College Station ten
nis club, probably the first such
organization ever fonned locally,
held its initial meeting- Tuesday
night in the Bryan city hall with
twenty-seven members, adults and
youngsters alike, present.
At that meeting, no official
name was chosen for the group,
but three officers were elected.
Mrs. F. I. Dahlberg was elected
chairman for the organization,
Frances Muth, secretary, and Mau
rice Olian, publicity chairman.
The i-ecent tournament held on
the A&M College Concrete Courts,
In which both Bryan and College
Station youngsters competed, was
one of the beginning forces for
the starting of such a club. Then,
last week, a preliminary meeting
was held in Bryan City Hall in
which tennis enthusiasists of the
local area expressed interest in
forming a tennis organization.

Soft Heart
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (AP) —
Three bandits grabbed $74 in the
holdup of a service station and then
took $5 from an attendant—but
one of them had a heart. The stat
ion attendant told the intruding
trio that he had a big family to
support and needed the $5. Before
the bandits drove off, one of them
peeled off a $5 bill and slipped it
to the attendant.
