Second string center Larry Broadus, a converted guard who is challenging Roy Northrup for a starting role, is hampered by a shoulder injury as is Jesse Mc Guire, the Aggie left halfback. Randy Sims, hero of A&M’s vic- toy over Michigan State with his winning field goal, reinjured his ankle that kept him off the prac tice field most of last week. Pet© Angermiller, moved up to the starting fullback position af ter his excellent showing against MSU, missed suiting out Monday and Tuesday with a bruised knee, injured in the State tilt. Head Coach Jim Myers develop ed a worried frown as yesterday’s sessions progressed, shaking his head as athlete after athlete left the playing field for Trainer Smokey Harper’s training table. The extent of the injuries suffered is not known as of yet, but they are serious enough to worry My ers. “They’d better be ready to go against Mississippi Southern or we’re in trouble,” he stated. Myers and his staff were still enthusiastic over the showing of some of the athletes in the Mich igan State contest. He singled out Guards Wayne Labar and Buddy Payne, Center Roy Northrup, and Backs Charles Milstead, Robert Sanders and Jon Few for individ ual praise. “These boys looked real good on Film,” he said with admiration.

Few, now running at full speed after missing most of. the fall drills with a leg injury, has taken over the starting left halfback slot from Jesse McGuire, now rel egated to the second unit. The major shift in the starting eleven came when Myers dropped Gordon LeBoeuf back to the third string fullback slot, and moved the injured Angermiller up to the second string. Angermiller was one of the most improved players during spring drills last year. LeBoeuf, hindered by bruised ribs, and Angermiller with his in jured knee leaves Myers with two of his three fullbacks on the injur ed list. The other fililbacl/ is sophomore Bob Caskey. ' Emphasis was placed on offen sive and defensive drills yester day, with the Aggies also devot ing time to that bugaboo of foot ball, fumbling. All phases of the kicking game were also worked on. Myers plans to kick more this year, and hopes to do it with the same degree of success the Farm ers exhibited against the Spar tans. Besides keeping State off balance with quick kicks the Ca dets won the game with a field goal off the talented toe of Sims. “We couldn’t go after the field goal last year,” said Myers, “be cause we were always too far be hind for it to do any good.” This year things could be different. Myers plans to begin tapering off today in order to give his in jured players a chance to recuper ate and prevent others from be coming injured. Second string Center Larry Broaddus, along with a host of his teammates, pose a serious threat to the Aggie future with their injuries. Broaddus has an injured shoulder hurt in the Michigan State contest.
