HONOLULU POPULATION UP HONOLULU (/P)L-This city’s population has topped the 400,000 mark, the Bureau of Health Sta tistics reports. The bureau’s latest estimate of Honolulu population was 400,557, up 6.6 percent from last year. The territory’s population, exclu sive of the sizeable military com munity, was estimated at 530,309. DYERS-FUR STORAGE HATTERS € mm Phone TA 2-1585 Bryan, Texas By GARY ROLLINS Battalion Sports Editor Coach Frank Broyles’ Y.’ i.; Tigers are strong ad\ • : e-. of their state motto — “Shov-M' What was believed to be an aver age Missouri team turned out to be a fierce bunch of bengals last week in their season opener against Arizona. An unknown fullback by the name of Hank Kuhlman ripped off three touchdowns in the first half and the Tigers took it from there, taming Arizona’s Wildcats by an unheard of 35-13 score. The game was supposed to be a close contest, but it didn’t live up to expectations as that. Football fever, a disease that began in Texas moved up to Okla homa and has now crossed the state into Missouri. The fans there ac tually believe their Tigers will be the team to upset Oklahoma. To take a look at what Broyles has to offer, his squad will run the Georgia Tech version of the “belly series.” The Missouri men tor is in his first year at Missouri, and has an excellent staff of assist ant coaches—including Jerry Clai borne, former Texas Aggie defens ive coach. Claiborne, who has played foot ball and coached for Coach Paul Bryant in previous years is Broyles’ Head Defensive Coach, so it will be a predetermined fact that the Aggies will be well-scouted defensively. The returning Tigers are both lean and fast—gust the way Frank Broyles likes them. Evidently, they will be a strong passing team, as they completed six of 12 aerials attempted last week. Doing their throwing was 25-year-old service returnee Ken Clemensen. Last year, he was the number three man-under, playing behind two fine quarterbacks. Backing him up are Phil Snowden and Don Mason, a B-teamer in 1956. In the scouting reports prepared by Aggie coaches, the Cadets were told that “Missouri is a good, sound club. Their first and sec ond units are about equal. They are in fine physical condition and like to play tough football. Their offensive and defensive games have improved over last week.” Returning to action will be Charlie James, considered to be their best back. To recap, Mis souri romped over Arizona without the services of their top back. Adding depth to the backfield are fullbacks Joe Wynn and Glen St. Pierre, who will fill in when the 186-pound Kuhlmann isn’t in the game. Incidentally, Mr. Kuhl man set a school scoring record with his three first-half touch downs against Arizona. The likely starters in the line will be George Boucher and Don Hopkins, ends; Mervin Johnson am.: Norris Kelley, tackles; Charley Rash and Don Chadwick, guards; and Tom Sawney, center. Sawney has received rave no tices from scouting reports as be ing one of the top linemen. The other lineman mentioned was Charley Rash, the Tiger left guard. Last year’s freshman squad has furnished the varsity with some promising talent, also. Darle Ne- spory, 205-pound guard and Roger McCoy, the “best all-around fresh man back” last fall will probably have their turn at the Aggies, too. That “turn at the Aggies” is just what Missouri is waiting for. Since we’ve been the closest thing to Oklahoma in national ratings, the second best thing they could do would be to hand the Aggies a good beating.. The Tigers are young, mean and very fast. They like to hit people —just like the Aggies^—and are probably as fired-up for this game as the Cadets’ two previous oppo nents, Maryland and Texas Tech. Missouri will be at full-strength for this game! Harriers Try UofH The Texas Aggies Cross Coun try team will hold their first var sity meet this Friday afternoon when they run; against the power ful University of Houston. The Cadets have suffered many personnel losses since last sea son, and will only be able to enter two experienced squadmen in the race. The remainder of the Aggie harrier squad will be sophomores. Coach Ray Putnam expressed his doubt of an upset over the highly-touted Cougars, who have a veritable “United Nations” of cross country talent. The U of H team comes from far and wide— as far as Poland. The two squadmen are Don Car ver and Jack Heald. Aiding them will be Richard Hickman, Win- ford Mauldin, Sanford Collins, John Blake and Dulock, all soph omores. FORT SLANT SWC HIGHLIGHTS s The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Wednesday, October 2, 1957 PAGE 3 The Texas Aggies once again reign as number one team in the Southwest Conference. However - , their throne is shared with four other teams, and after two weeks of football, every SWC school is still undefeated. Southern Methodist and Texas Christian have both sustained tie games, or I should say the other team “got by” with a tie. Charlie Milstead, soph signal- caller for the Cadets is tied with Gerald Nesbitt for high-scoring honors. Both have tallied 20 points. Milstead is also the fourth leading ball carrier in the con ference with 108 yards in 22 car ries. The Aggie varsity holds sec ond place in average-gain rushing with a 243 yard mark. They Ure second to Rice’s 251, but the Owls have only participated in one con test. Total offense finds the Cadets tied with Baylor for third place. Both squads, nationally-ranked, have averaged 298 yards per con test. Conference play will officially open this week with Arkansas and Texas Christion locking horns in Tattle Rock. The Razorbacks haven’t been told they’re not Cotton Bowl material, so they continue to play like they have an appointment Somebody has to lose. Soccer Team In Cotton Bowl YOU CANT CO WRONG WITH LOU!
