The line is always bai aneed. The tailback will run the team guard candidates have little or no experience. The outlook is brighter at tail back and center. Charley Milstead •nd Ed Dudley are having a ter- ific struggle at tailback and both are improving daily. Loth are ex cellent punters, while Milrtead is jt slightly better passer and Dud ley holds an edge in the running department. Rale Oliver, Refugio junior who lettered last aaason, and soph Roy Northrop of Amarillo are holding down the center position, backed up by Paul Piper of Brownw>»od Defensive positions are new to every player except the three cap tains — end John Tracey, tackle Ken Beck and blocking back Dick Gay. These three are the only sure starters. At the other positions there is strong rivalry for the starting berths, all very pieadng to the roaches. If the competition contin ues as spirted during the first week of practice, the Aggies will develop the two teams Myers needs for his team substitution pians "We will sub?-titute by teams,” the Aggie mentor revealed, "chief ly because the important timing is attained by p!a>er* uorKing to gether” Luther Hall and Gordon Le- Boeuf are fighting for the No 1 fullback berth with Hall showing up well on defense Tie Smith Aggies Aerial Threat Charley Milstead cocks back his throwing arm during Fall workouts.
