The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas
PAGE 4 Thursday, September 13, 1956
Goehring, Hale, Stanley
Bolster Strong Middle
Besides fullback the middle of
A&M’s aggressive line is the least
of Coach Paul Bryant’s worries.
With three lettermen guards and
the starting center back for 1956
it’ll be rough for Aggie opponents
in the teeth of that forward wall.
Returning to right guard is San
Marcos’ Dennfs Goehring, a un
animous all - conference choice in
1955 and already picked by SPORT
magazine as second - team all-
American for this season. Goehring,
although light at 186, is probably
the hardest fighter in the con
ference and loves contact.
“Dennis was our best lineman
last year,” smiles Coach Bryant.
“He likes to hit people and
really has made a football play
er out of himself in the last
two years, but we’ve got to
have some help for him—he
can’t play all the time.”
Battling for Goehring’s runner-
up spot are two sophs, Jim Lang
ston, a holdout from Texas City
who played Fish ball in ’54, and
last year’s all-first year choice,
Tommy Howard from the neighbor
ing city of Galveston.
Langston is a stocky, 5-8, 185,
blockbuster while Bryant considers
Howard “. . . a good prospect, quick
and strong.”
Center is solidly held by Lloyd
Hale and Dee Powell. Hale, co
captain and regular in 1955 will
probably share the playing time
with the fiery Powell, who has let-
DEE POWELL—Aggressive tackle-guard-center for A&M
will share the center playing time with Lloyd Hale in 1956.

tered in 1954 at tackle and last
season at guard.
“Center is our best position in
the line,” affirms Bryant. “Hale
is a fine football player. He was
one of those September surprises
in 1955. He’s awfully quick on
offense and a smart ball player.
Powell is certainly not a second-
stringer. We know he’s one of
our best players. Both are better
offensively than defensively.
They’ll both get with you.”
Dick Goff is currently the third-
string ball snapper. Goff started
for last season’s Fish team and may
play some this year.
Down the line are letterman John
Gilbert and Allen Goehring, Dennis’
younger brother, of whom Bryant
says: “Allen is further along now
that Dennis was at the same period
in his development.”
On the other side, Jim Stanley
and Murry Trimble, both junior
lettermen, hold down the left guard
spot.
Stanley, often described as the
meanest man on the squad, came
to A&M from Lynch, Ky., while
the one-armed Trimble is also one
of the “foreign” group, from
Hanceville, Ala.
“Stanley can be a lot better
if he wants to,” said Coach
Bryant, “And I’ll be disappointed
if he doesn’t. As to Trimble, he
played very well in 1955 and
made sc^ x big plays.”
Behind 'Stanley and Trimble are
a pair of sophomore, Harold Price
and Carl Luna.
DENNIS (The Menace) GOEHRING—Coach Bryant’s all-
SWC right guard will be clawing away at Aggie opposition
again this year and should be right in the bidding for all-
American honors.
