By BOB CLENDENNEN
The football picture at A&M is
like looking out from a mountain
top during a Spring thundershower.
Some parts of the country are
crystal clear, with the sunshine
bringing every detail to knife-
edge sharpness. But other parts of
the landscape are nearly obliterated
by squall lines and thunderheads.
The brightest spot on the team
is at quarterback, where there
are three men capable of playing
on anyone’s team. Roddy Osborne
started out in spring training
where he left off at the Teasip
massacre. Charlie Milstead has
given notice to everyone that he
intends to get few splinters from
warming the bench next fall, and
Jimmy Wright finally came
through to show everyone the kind
l” of player he can be. Wright could
always pass, and was a fair run
ner and signal-caller, but this
spring he ended up as a fine
cornerman on defense and a credit
to any squad.
It’s a good thing that the Ag
gies won’t have to meet these
men on Saturday.
It’s lucky for the Aggies
that these men will be in the
Maroon and White next fall.
The sun shines on more than the
man under. In a word, the Aggie
backfield will be “loaded’ 4 for the
coming season.
There are backs a’plenty who
can run, catch passes, throw, and
more important, block and tackle.
The fullback position is not hurt
ing. There is a rat-race between
Richard Gay and young Gordon
LeBeouf, with both men showing
that they have what it takes to
make the Bear’s team.
Still the sun shines. The
figures of All - American
Charlie Krueger and massive
Ken Beck may go into the
record books as the best
tackles in the conference. John
(Tiny) Tracey, a speed merch
ant at 215 pounds, is a be
lievable contender for almost
any position on the team.
He’s found a home at end, and
will stand alongside Krueger
on the left side. There is a
blocking combination to give
other coaches nightmares!
Now come the clouds. . . for at
guard and center there is a lack
of reserve and exceptional talent
at present. Of course it’s still a
long time ’til the first game, and
players do improve with age, ex
perience, and added desire. John
Gilbert may be the man to watch at
center. He is running the first
team at the end of Spring, and he
will be hard to dislodge for a
couple more seasons.
There is a glimmer of sunlight
bouncing off the craggy jaw of
towering Bill Webb at right guard.
At 6’ 6”, 270 pounds, he is the
largest man on the team. No,
that’s not right. Some people are
“large”, but Webb is bigger than
that. He comes to Aggieland with
six years of experience in service
football and the junior college
circuit.
Taking everything into consider
ation, It’s hard to be anything but
optimistic about the picture. Who
can tell, maybe the brisk winds of
fall will blow away all the clouds
that dim the view of next year’s
national champions!

Illini Open Spring Training
‘Potential’ Key Word
Braves Forgetting
Bums; Want Flag
BRADENTON, Fla., C/P) — Through the long winter
months, the Milwaukee Braves have been thinking about the
World Series checks that went down the drain last Septem
ber. If they were nonchalant at the time, the mood has
changed.
It would be wrong to describe the Braves as hungry
players. They are well paid and some have lucrative winter
jobs in addition. But they seem to resent the charge that
they “blew” the pennant last year. If they resent it enough,
they may get a real fast break from the starting gate.
No club has worked harder during spring training. If
this once was a country club camp, it is no longer. Every
time somebody hits a homer
For Men Only!
Are you plagued with your wife
always wearing your sport shirts ?
It’s a heck of a nuisance isn’t it!
Want to put a stop to it? Then
go by the A&M Men’s Shop at
North Gate and see the new hus
band and wife matching shirt sets.
The shirts for the ladies are styled
just like the men’s—they even but
ton to the right!
The matching shirt sets are made
of wash and wear cotton by Dan
River and come in various color and
pattern combinations.
You and your wife are certain
to like them, and they cost much
less than you’d imagine!
Go by the A&M Men’s Shop
today and buy one of these new
matching shirt sets.
If it doesn’t stop your wife from
wearing your shirts nothing will!

CHAMPAIGN, Ill., CP) _ Ray
Eliot, dean of Big Ten foo'ball
coaches, happily watched the snow
melt so he could signal the start
of spring practices yesterday and
said the target for his University
of Illinois team in 1957 will be
the first division.
“You know, instead of finishing
up spring drills this year with a
varsity-freshman game, we’re go
ing to get up an old timer’s
game,” Eliot said. “The date will
be Saturday, May 4, and invita
tions have been sent to 75 ex-
vai-sity players.
“It’ll be the 10th anniversity of
our first Rose Bowl champion and
the fifth of our second Rose Bowl
teqm and I think it’s a good idea.
“We’re going to get some of our
boys who are playing pro ball,
some recent grads and maybe a
few fellows who played in the
Rose Bowl games.”

or makes an error in a squad
game, Coach Bob Keely blows
a Boy Scout whistle that
means one lap around the field
for everybody.
“When we got down here I called
a meeting and talked over a few of
the things that happened last
year,” said Manager Fred Haney.
“I said I didn’t expect to mention
them again. This is a new year
and we’re starting from scratch.”
Last fall the mention of Brooklyn
always could be counted upon to
bring an unprintable reaction from
Haney. No more.
“I’ve got one thing on my
mind,” said Haney. “That’s win
ning the pennant. We’ve got to
beat seven clubs. I think we’re
going to win it.* 1 ’
Haney said he thought the “near
miss” of last year would help his
club. The Braves finished one
game behind the pennant-winning
Brooklyn Dodgers, Milwaukee
dropping two of the final three
games at St. Louis to surrender its
lead and the National League flag.
“Brooklyn got beat out by the
Giants in 1951 and came right back
to win. Everybody said they would
be too crushed to get off the floor,
but they did. I hope we can do the
same thing,” the manager adds.
When Haney talks about his
club, the word he used most of
ten is “potential.” In fact, he
has the players talking the same
way.
“Four of our men were way be
low their potential,” Haney said.
“If we can get them back up to
par, we’ll be all right.
“Let’s start with Del Crandall.
He hurt his left arm and couldn’t
go through with a full swing. He
wound up hitting .238. He’s not
that kind of a hitter. I expect him
to give me 30 or 40 more points.
“Danny O’Connell was leading
off for the first time. He was so
interested in getting on base that
times when the base on balls
wasn’t what we • needed, he- still
was taking those close ones. I
want 15 to 20 more points from
him.
“Eddie Mathews hit about .220
until the All-Star Game. He must
have hit about .320 after that be
cause he wound up with .272
