Power-Laden Frogs Try Aggies Saturday By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor The TCU Horned Frogs, possibly the finest team in Southwest Con ference history, bring their fourth- ranked powerhouse into Kyle Field Saturday against the only team to beat them in regular season play last year, A&M. Undefeated, untied and unwor ried TCU has swept past three op ponents without being pressed. The Frogs opened with a 32-0 win over Kansas, crushed Arkansas, 41-0, and went through the motions against Alabama, winning 23 - 6.

Rollie Not Ready Basketball Back On Sports Scene By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor As unbelievable as it may seem, basketball is back on the sports scene. With football still in the first half of its season, Ken Loeffler and his 1956-57 version of the Aggie hardwooders moved into white Coliseum Monday to begin Fall training. In typical A&M fashion, the playing area was not prepared for the 13 varsity and 40 freshmen candidates. Only five of the six baskets had been lowered Tuesday and the fresh men were clustered around two backboards in an effort to get in some shooting practice. Loeffler begins his second season at A&M after coming here from LaSalle where he developed one of the nation’s finest teams and the greatest collegiate player of all time, Tom Gola. In six seasons at LaSalle, Loeffler won 145 and lost 30, winning two national titles. Last year the Aggies won as many as they had in the pre vious two seasons. Loeffler and assistant Lee Fra sier plan to cut the freshmen to 12 players as soon as possible. “We’re going to find out who’s got two left feet and three right KEN LOEFFLER hands quick, and get rid of them,” said the oft-quoted coach. Only two Fish are on scholar ships—Dave Carson, 6-6 New Or leans products, and Wayne Law rence, 6-8 from Pawcatuck,- Conn.— but Bill Edge, six-footer from Houston Milby, Paul Madura, 6-4, Tulia, Tex., and Greenville’s Jim Anderson, 6-1, “may turn out to be basketball players after all,” says Loeffler. The varsity divided into two teams Tuesday and worked on ball handling in Lbeffler’s “give and go” offense with Stu Heller, Jack Schwake, Ken Hutto, George Me- haffey and Neal Swisher on the white team and Fritzie Connally, Erwin Turner, Ted Harrod, Jim McNichol and Tom Kolle on the green unit. Hutto sank a pair of free throws during the scrimmage and Loeffler turned to the first-year aspirants and impressed upon them the im portance of accuracy from the foul line. Hutto was 26th in the na tion' last year. “Hutto would rather play ball then eat,” commented Loeffler. “Our trouble is that we’ve got too many that would rather eat than play.” (Pol Adv.

Continental The Purple and White own one of the nation’s top offenses, having moved for an average 443.7 yards- per-game. On the defensive their opponents have been allowed 235 yards, with a measly 28.7 through the air. The starting lineup shows a total of 18 letters and their mas sive line weighs in at 213 pounds per man. With All-American Jim Swink, who rushed for 1283 yards in 1955, being used as the decoy his run ning mate, Ken Wineburg, has gained 354 yards so far for a 10.4 average and seven touchdowns to lead the SWC in both departments. Charlie Curtis, TCU’s fine quarterback, owns a terrific pass ing record, with 20 completions in 33 attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The Frogs’ Buddy Dike, who beat out 1955 regular Vernon Hallbeck for the fullback post, stands eighth in the conference in ball carrying with 202 yards in 29 trips—for a seven yard average.

The Fish have dropped two tilts, a 20-7 decision to Hous ton’s Kittens and a 26-14 smarting at the hands of TCU’s Wogs. The Fish, pressed by the absence of a single win, worked out this week with a minimum of injuries. AF Wins Four ’Mural Grid It looked like Air Force field day Tuesday on the intramural class B football picture. In the four games played the Air Force teams came out victor in all. Buddy Pennyworth ran the pag- skin for two touchdowns and pass ed for another six points to lead his team, Squadron 14, to a lop sided victory over B Infantry 25 to 0. Clayton Ford set up Squadron 13’s only score by running for 20 yards. The touchdown came on the next play with a pass from Keith Butler to Glen Williams. Ford then scoi’ed the extra point on a run around end. The final on that one—Squad. 13 over A Inf. 7 to 0. Squad. 26 blasted a good White Band team by a score of 28 to 7. In the only other game played Sqdn. 15 beat C Infantry 13 to 7.
