Frosh Football Drills
Open With 68 Athletes
More beef than Kyle Field has
seen in several years thundered
onto the wet gridiron today as
Freshman Coach Tom Chandler
greeted' 68 aspiring candidates to
the Maroon and White football
fold.
Weight, or rather the lack of
it, has been the hole in the Aggie
balloon during the past a<id pres
ent season, but this crop of fresh
men bids fair to buoy up the sag
ging Cadet line.
Seventeen tackles weighed in
at an average of 213 pounds and
14 guards hit the scales at a
grand 203 average. Even the ends
don’t come skinny in this league.
Eight of them reported in with
an average weight of 194.
Highland Park’s Bill Miller was
the heftiest man on the squad
weighing a sold 280 pounds and
standing 6-4 Tackle George
Hogan rated runnerup honors in
the weight division with a total
weight of 225 pounds.
Hogan was the top school boy
catch of the year, winning All-
State honors and captaining one of
the All-Star teams and Oil Bowl
squads.
Athletic Director Jim Myers
and his staff of recruiters did an
excellent job in recruiting this past
spring, capturing at least one All-
State boy ip each position and
more than his fair share of high
school All-American boys.
The Aggie Fish will open the
season October 81 when they face
the TCU Wogs at College Station.
They will play a total of five
games, four of them scheduled for
Kyle Field.

Jesse McGuire, the twinkle-toed
speedster from Plainview, was just
another player in pads on Kyle
Field prior to his debut in the
Texas Tech game last Saturday,
but his energetic showing in that
contest brought him out of the
shadows and into the limelight.
McGuire came to the Aggies last
season billed as one of the top
football prospects in the United
States, but a head injury early
in the season put him on the bench
and the now departed Roger Mc
Farland became the Cadets fair
haired boy.
Spring training failed to bring
out the best in the prospective
sophomore, and when drills opened
this fall he was suiting out as a
third string halfback behind Jon
Few and Eddie Van Dyke.
Now McGuire wears the maroon
jersey of the first team in prac
tice and has served notice to Few
.that he intends to hold onto the
starting position.
The Plainview athlete is not
really a 60 minute man in football,
but could best serve as a spot
player with the ability to break the
game wide open at any moment.
But, his speed will make him use
ful on defense this year since most
SWC teams feature fast backs.
Agaisnt Tech McGuire racked up
149 rushing in 15 carries, one of
them a 64 yard jaunt for the Ag
gies second touchdown. His feat
in that ballgame placed him as the
No. 1 ball carrier in the SWC in
games played that week and also
the total offense leader ahead of
TCU’s Jack Spikes and A&M’s own
Charlie Milstead.
McGuire has the build of a fast
halfback, somewhat on the order
of Lloyd Taylor, but not as stubby.
The Aggie is a trim 175 and stands
5-11.
As a freshman McGuire was
runnerup to McFarland in total of
fense and proved himself a cap
able passer and punter.
But even with all these good
points McGuire is not yet a “prov
en player” ' as trainer Smokey
Harper would say. East Lansing,
Milligan should prove to be a good
testing ground.
★ ★ ★
With football season just moving
into full swing it seems a little bit
out of place to say a few words
about basketball, but since the
first game is only 67 days away
we might take a chance and go
ahead and say it.
According to the official NCAA
Basketball Guide, hot off the press,
the Aggie five is picked to do bat
tle with the SMU Mustangs for
the SWC championship. Arkan-
