hope for an impressive showing
by the Ags Saturday in East Lan
sing against the Spartans of
Michigan State University.
Also on the program were Tom
Chandler, coach of the Southwest
Conference Champion Aggie base-
ballers last spring and the foot
ball team members.
Myers told the student body that
it was a long way to Michigan
He added, however, that he was
going back to the vicinity of his
previous locale and was seeking
a good performance there.
“It’s a good distance up there,”
he stated, “but they’re Yankees
and we’re Southerners.”
“And you know what Southern
ers think of Yankees,” he added.
“We’re not going up there just
for the trip,’’ he proclaimed. “We
plan to play some football.”
Chandler told the assembly he
had never seen a coaching staff
and team members work as dili
gently as the Aggies had this fall.
Myers introduced Charley Mil-
stead, captain and tailback-quar
terback in the Farmers multiple
offense, and Gale Oliver, alternate
captain and tackle from Refugio.
Milstead introduced the backs and
ends to the student body and Oli
ver handled the ceremonies for the
linemen.
Following the introduction, the
pair expressed appreciation to the
gathering for the help of the
Twelfth Man and the support giv
en the team.
“We’re going to try and avoid
another disappointment as exper
ienced last week in Dallas,” said
Milstead. “We plan to go up to
Michigan and play some football
for a change.”
“We’d like to thank the Twelfth
Man for the support given last
week,” he continued.
Oliver, following Milstead, also
told the student body that the
team appreciated the support of
the students.
“I’m not much at making
speeches,” he stated, “but it sure
feels good to know the Aggie Band
is in the stands along with the
students.”
“If you do your part, we’ll try
to do ours and not have any dis
appointments as last weekend.”
“We know that registration and
all was going on, but those that
made the trip sure helped,” he
added.
“It’s too bad that students can’t
make the trip to Michigan this
weekend,” he concluded.
The Aggies leave tomorrow by
air for the game and return Sun
day. It is State’s season opener,
tabbed “High School Day” at the
vast arena in East Lansing where
high school bands throughout the
Midwest will participate in the
half time performance.

In A&M Registration
Texas Tech Plan
Approved at CSC
By DAVID STOKER
Battalion Managing Editor
Registration and Kyle Field seating headed the discus
sion last night at the semester’s first meeting of the Civilian
Student Council in the Social Room of the Memorial Student
Center.
A plan for more effective and time saving registration
was brought up at the meeting by Charles Graham, presi
dent of the council. He pointed out the various faults of the
present method of registration at A&M. called on Representa
tive Jim Hall to explain the method currently used at Texas
Tech.
Hall, a graduate of Texas Tech and a student of vet
erinary medicine at A&M, explained the method called “pre
registration ” "♦
Under this system registra
tion or “pre-registration” at
A&M would be conducted the
week before finals with fresh
men and transfer students regis
tering at the regular time.
In case students happen to fail
certain courses after having regis
tered during the week before fin
als, those necessary changes could
be made with the freshmen and
transfer students. Fees would be
paid last, Hall said.
Hall said the system has worked
most effectively at Tech and ex
plained that Tech enrolls a lot
more students than does A&M.
A majority of the councilmen
were in favor of such a system at
registration after discussing the
various problems experienced at
registration here last week.
Robert R. Murray Jr., Civilian
Student Council sponsor, told the
councilmen that they would have
to have an academic person from
the college to help them get such
a' plan of registration passed.
“Without an academic person to
back us up,” Murray said, “we are
wasting our time.”
Hall said that he had talked with
Dr. Edgar D. McMurry of the De
partment of Veterinary Physiology
and Pharmacology and said Mc
Murry seemed to be in favor of
the “pre-registi’ation” plan.
Graham then appointed a Regis
tration Committee consisting of
Hall, chairman; Jim Beal, Russell
Niesing and Jim Grouch. He also
placed McMurry on the committee.
The need of ushers was the big
gest problem concerning the seat
ing plan. Ushers are needed at
the home football games to keep
the civilian students from sitting-
in the seats reserved for the Corps,
Graham said.
Murray pointed out that “if no
ushers are present, our boys get
the seats reserved for the Corps
while the Corps is marching in to

Tuesday Hearing
Set for Chest Drive
A public hearing by the College
Station United Chest Committee
will be held Tuesday at 7:30 in the
A&M Consolidated High School
Cafeteria, J. B. “Dick” Hervey,
general chairman, said today.
Agencies desiring to be included
in this year’s United Chest budget
are requested to be present for a
presentation of their requests, Her
vey stated.
“Because an agency was includ
ed last year does not mean the
same agency will be included auto
matically this year,” Hervey point
ed out.
“The Chest Committee will hear
all applications Tuesday night and
at a subsequent meeting work out
the budget for the 1959 drive,” he
said. It is expected that each
agency will have a representative
or commmittee present for the
hearing.
The College Station United Chest
drive for funds will be conducted
Nov. 1-15, with E. L. Angell chair
ing the college drive; H. E. Bur
gess in charge of the city cam
paign; and Irwin Lloyd will handle
agencies.
Hervey thanked the College Sta
tion Chamber of Commerce for de
ferring its membership drive until
after the United Chest effort.
“This spirit of cooperation is
greatly appreciated by the Chest.”
Hervey said.
Last year 14 agencies partipi-
paiied in the chest with a budget
of $13,727. The di’ive went over
the goal. «.
“Through the College Station
United Chest we have an oppor
tunity to contribute only once a
year to worthy causes. Through
united and unselfish service we
each have a part in making Col
lege Station a better community,”
Hervey said.
Ags Underdogs Against State
i
By BOB WEEKLEY
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggies, their hopes of a
winning season dimmed by an up
start Texas Tech eleven last Sat
urday, donned their traveling
clothes this morning and boarded
, the plane for East Lansing and
their date with the Michigan State
Spartans.
This time the Aggies will be
* back in their old, familiar role of
underdog with slim chance of pull
ing an upset over the rugged State
eleven. Experts are picking the
Spartans a solid two touchdown
favorite over the Aggies and the
odds should rise before Saturday
rolls around.
Michigan State will be opening
^ their bid to move back into foot
ball prominence and plan to do it
at the lightweight Aggies expense.
The Spartans posted a dismal
t 3-5-1 record in a hectic season
last year that saw Head Coach
Duffy Daugherty receive the dub
ious honor of being hanged in ef
figy.
Some light has shined into the
Farmers’ camp this week with the
return of the perennially injured
Jon Few, the highly touted junior
who has not yet been well enough
to strut his stuff. Flicking the
switch on the bright light is the
slowly improving Randy Sims, in
jured in the Texas Tech contest.
Sims is listed as “doubtful” for the
game.
Two promotions have resulted in
the Aggie camp this past week.
Sophomore Jesse McGuire raced
into a starting halfback position,
thanks to his brilliant showing
against the Red Raiders, and Bob
Phillips replaced Jack Estes at end.
McGuire, as flashy a back as the
Southwest Conference has seen in
years, will face his trial by fire
this weekend as he attempts to
prove to the Cadet coaching staff
that his 149 yards gained rushing
last week was no mere fluke.
Against the Michigan State line
he could well be facing a final ex
amination.
Weight will be the problem the
Farmers will have to overcome if
they expect to win the contest. The
Spartans’ heavy beef up front av
erages out at 210 pounds per man
and their smallest player, an end
by the innocent sounding name of
Brandstatter, is as large as the
Aggies’ biggest player, 207 pounds.
Daugherty’s razzle dazzle of
fense has baffled the Aggies in
practice this past week, and his
team holds promise of doing the
same come game time. The Spar
tans will play platoon-type ball
this year and have two first string
units. . . .one to specialize on of
fense and the other on defense.
The Michigan State coach has
enough athletes left over from the
first two units to form a third
string, somewhat on the order of
LSU’s Chinese Bandits. Anything
the first two units can’t take care
of they guarantee to solve.
The Aggies starting lineup is
expected to have juniors Ralph
Smith and Bob Phillips at end;
seniors Bill Darwin and Gale Oliver
at tackle; senior Allen Goehring
and junior Carter Franklin or Bud-
dy Payne at guaid; center Roy j||
Northrup; Capt. Charles Milstead Iff
at quarterback; senior Gordon Le-
Boeuf at fullback; and Robert
Sanders and Jesse McGuire at right ||
and left halfbacks.
Michigan’s probable offensive 1 :
eleven: ends, Fred Arbanas and r :
Art Brandstatter; tackles, Ed Mc-
Lucas and Palmer Pyle; guards,
Mickey Walker and Capt. Don
Wright, and center, John Wilks;
quarterback, Dean Look; left half
back, Herb Adderley; right half
back, Gary Ballman and fullback
Blanche Martin.
