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.
COUGAR COVERS GROUND—Don Flynn, Houston quar
terback, outruns Aggie Jim Langston (65) and an unidenti
fied Maroon in last Saturday’s 14-14 tie.

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.”

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.

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
