Under Strongest
Single Team Spot
If a poll was taken to name the
top three quarterbacks in the
Southwest Conference, they might
all be Texas Aggies.
Quarterback is the strongest po
sition on the squad this year with
three capable field generals in
brisk competition for a starting
nod.
At the beginning of last year’s
fall practice Coach Bryant announ
ced the search had begun for an
able man-under.
Roddy Osborne, a fullback trans
fer, filled the position so capably
he was elected unanimously to the
all-conference team. Whenever he
had possession of the football he
was a constant threat.
Roddy is probably the quickest
man in the conference and is a
tremendous runner. The opposi
tion had to stop Roddy from run
ning- with the ball before they
could concentrate on stopping-
other Aggie mail-carriers.
Although his passing was not
the best, the Aggie-type of attafek
was not suited for passing. When
the Aggies passed, it came as a
surprise and sometimes netted a
touchdown.
Osborne is a senior two-year
letterman from Gainesville. As a
freshman and sophomore, he al
ternated between halfback and
fullback and should Wright or
Milstead dislodge him from his

starting role* he may be shifted
to a" deep back position.
Roddy is a running quarterback,
second in rushing to John Crow.
He performs the option as well as
anyone in the nation.
Jimmy Wright is the senior
passing ace from Edinburg that
“ran” for the first time last
spring. In 1956, he shared the
signal-calling chore with Osborne
and connected in eight of twelve
passing attempt^ for a .667 per
centage.
As a sophomore his record was
a little more impressive. He heav
ed six touchdown passes, including
one that busted up the 1955 Rice
game. But last spring, he show
ed such remarkable improvement
that many believed he could take
over the driver’s seat from Os
borne. Jimmy has lettered twice.
To further muddy the situation,
much to Bryant’s delight, the ris
ing star of last year’s freshman
squad wants Osborne’s job.
Charlie Milstead of Tyler was
the outstanding prep high school
back in Texas before coming to
A&M. Even though he missed ac
tion in some of the frosh games, he
was still chosen as the quarterback
on the all-conference freshman
team.
Milstead is an all-purpose play
er. He can do anything - . In spring
training he kicked field goals, pass
ed and ran for touchdowns and put
-a gleam in Coach Bryant’s eye.
In spring drills, Aggie fans' were
given a preview of what would be
this fall. Osborne, Wright and
Milstead ran a neck-and-neck race.
All performed so capably that no
body knew who was first-i-anked.
All three players have announ
ced their intention to start in the
Maryland game and Osborne is
temporarily Bryant choice because
of his past performance.
The man-under situation re
sembles the leadership problem in
the Soviet Union. One day you’re
a first-string prime minister and
the next day you’re the third-
string- “salt miner.”
