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.

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

hibition game forming part oC the
activities of the opening week of

The Aggies, now in their second
week of practice, are rapidly im
proving, according to Captain Nick
Hopkins, despite several cases of
the flu. Strong competition is ex
pected from the Comets, as they
and the Aggies were chosen from
all the teams in Texas to provide
the best game possible.
The game, which begins at 2:00

time-outs or rest periods with the
exception of a break between the

halves. Substitution will be very
limited, as the Aggies are only
being permitted to carry five sub
stitute players other than the
eleven-man starting squad.
Forming the heart of this year’s
forward line are returning letter-
men Roberto Ildarraz, from Bue
nos Aires, Argentina; Jaime Que-
sada of Madrid, Spain; and Car
los Salinas, front La Paz, Bolivia.
Returning as halfbacks are Hector

goalie spot,
Bobby Joe Conrad
Bobby Joe, 185-poimd senior from Clifton was a pain in
Texas Tech’s side last Saturday as the Cadets cruised to
their second straight win this season. Bobby is a two-
year letterman and one of the most versatile men on the
squad.
