It is the batters that bring across
the runs, but every team has to
have a good pitching staff to win.
The fact that the Aggies are in
third place and pushing close be
hind the leaders, is proof enough
of the Cadet pitching staff. Three
of the group are Toby Newton 2-1,
Don Hullum 2-2 and Percy San
derson 1-0.
Coach Beau Bell has not said

Aggie Aides
By BOB WEEKLEY
Bone-weary and bruised after a rugged two-hour practice
session yesterday, A&M’s spring gridders rumbled off Kyle
Field with the news of a holiday today from Coach Jim
Myers.
After Thursday’s session Myers said: “At this stage
of the game the squad has worked as hard as any I’ve seen.”
The personable young coach continued: “I told the boys not
to think of football tomorrow. We’re throwing so much at
them so fast there’s lots of confusion. The rest will do us
good.”
Myers singled out two boys up from the red team for
special praise: “Charles Martell and George Gray are fine
boys. Martell will make a good
linebacker and blocking back
and Gray showed up well de
fensively as a guard.” Mar
tell was a halfback on the ’57
freshman team and Gray a tackle
on the same squad.
The broken-nose era of football
at Aggieland is off to a good start,
but, according to Myers, the Cadets
are still rough in many places. Pass
defense is the problem the Farm
er’s staff is working on now.
Pass defense was stressed
throughout most of the day for
the backfield. Coach Willie Zapalac
had the backs woi’king on “one on
one, one on two and team defense”
agaist the pass.
Several changes were made posi
tion-wise among the ball carriers
during the period. Robert Sanders,
junior letterman from Seadrift,
was again moved to blocking back,
and Ronnie Fontenot, sophomore
squadman, was shifted back to the
wingback position.
Myers was pleased with the
passing ability displayed yesterday
by Ed Dudley and Charles Mil-
stead. Milstead, still working out
only in a sweat suit, threw for
45 minutes today. Dudley, working
with the white team, hit his re
ceivers consistently during the
workout.
In a pre-workout punting drill,
freshman Star Jon Few was get
ting off booming kicks of 40 yards
or more.
The line was put through its de
fensive paces in a scrimmage ses
sion near the end of practice. Mm - -
ray Trimble, Ken Beck, John
Tracey, Joe Munson and Don Smith
were singled out for their aggres
sive line play.
Nine more days ’till the end of
spring training and the Squad
Game.

at the University of Tennessee and
an assistant at Texas Tech the
past five years.
Sherrod, 30, is a native of Knox
ville, Tenn., and is a member of
the all-time, all-Tennessee grid
team.
His final season at Tennessee
was 1950 and he was named out
standing lineman in the Volun
teers’ victory over Texas in the
1951 Cotton Bowl game.
Following graduation in 1951,
Sherrod entered the Air Force and
played service ball at Carswell Air
Force Base in Fort Worth in 1951
and 1952. He joined the Tech
staff in 1953 where he has served
until coming to A&M in 1958. He
will work with the ends at Aggie
land.

CHEVY TAMES
THE TOUGHEST
TRANSCONTINENTAL
HIGHWAY!
Atlantic to Pacific and back, across
the towering Andes, in 41 hours..
Grade Retarder gave extra braking on corkscrew descents:
With hood sealed shut by the Automobile Club of Argentina^
a ’58 Chevrolet station wagon hustled from Buenos Aires to
Valparaiso, Chile, and back over the highest transcontinental
road in the world! Twice it rocketed two miles high in the
sky—and not one drop of oil or water was added, nor was
the mighty Turbo-Thrust V8 ever shut off! Here was an
all-out test of Chevy’s new engine, of the Turboglide trans
mission, Jumbo-Drum brakes, Full Coil suspension and Ball-
Race steering—triumphant proof of all the advances that
have made Chevrolet great in ’58!
