Super Sub!
It’s been said that the atomic submarine
“Nautilus” stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the “Nautilus” for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn’t hear about it
from ms) it’s a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.
Rugged lot, those submariners. Great
drink, Coke! N SIGN OF GOOD TASTE

Northrup Important As
Defensive Quarterback
The Texas Aggie grid of
fense has its quarterback and lead
er in Charley Milstead, one of the
best, but there’s another quarter
back on the A&M team this year
who plays a very important role.
He’s Roy Northrup, senior cen
ter-linebacker and defensive quar
terback from Amarillo. When the
Aggies have the ball it’s Milstead,
brilliant Tyler senior, who does the
thinking.
But when the other team takes
over, it’s the blond, 6-0, 195-pound
er who calls the defensive signals
before each play.
As A&M’s best defensive center,
Roy is forced to play more than
his share but he doesn’t mind.
Coach Jim Myers terms Northrup
“a great competitor” and the team
mates say the Aggie business ad-
ministi’ation major “makes few
friends on Saturdays.”
Sparks Defense
Roy’s fine linebacking and lead
ership has been a major factor in
the Cadets’ improved defense this
season. A year ago the A&M line
and defense was as leaky as an
old sieve. This year the Ags have
been tougher on defense, especially
against the running game. The
Aggies have allowed but five
touchdowns on the ground in the
six games played to date. Most
of the damage against the Aggies
has come from the airwaves. Myers
bemoans the fact the Aggies have
intercepted only five passes this
season. But one of these steals
was by Northrup—in the 28-6 vic
tory over Houston.
In Baylor’s 13-0 shutout win over
A&M last week, it was the clutch
passing of QB Bobby Ply that hurt
the Cadets. But Northrup’s de
partment contained the Bear run
ning game in fine fashion.
Top hands in Northrup’s interior
line have been Guards Buddy Payne
of Houston, Carter Franklin of
Kerens, Allen Goehring of San
Marcos and Wayne Freiling of San
Antonio; Tackles Gale Oliver of
Refugio, Wayland Simmons of San
Antonio and Bill Godwin of
Orangefield and Ends Richard
Love of Lampasas, Bob Phillips of
Corpus Christi and Ralph Smith
of Phillips.
Great Competitor

after ’em” and never misses a prac-

tice. Last week he was hospital
ized with the flu but left the hos
pital in time for workout. He’s
had plenty of aches and pains but
is seldom listed on Trainer Smoky
Harper’s “team of injuries.”
“Roy gives you a 110-percent
effort every day,” Myers revealed.
“If every player did that you would
have no worries.”
Roy shared the center position
with Oliver last year, each start
ing five games. But the former
Amarillo Sandy star has taken over
the top spot this season since Oli
ver, alternate captain, switched to
tackle. Northrup’s big plays de
fensively helped upset Maryland,
14-10 last year in the nation’s Cap
itol.
Light for Position
Roy is light for a major college
center, but he’s average on the
Aggie line. At 194 pounds per
man end to end, A&M possibly has
the lightest forward wall in the
country.
Northrup is married but lives in
Henderson Hall, A&M’s athletic
dormitory since his wife, Dena, at
tends the University of Texas.
Roy was a high school back his
first two years at AHS but was
moved to center his senior year
and has been at the position since.
Northrup was born in Higgins,
Texas, 22 years ago, moved to Can
adian at the age of five and when
he was 13 the family moved to Am
arillo.
He was an entomology major his
first two years at A&M but
changed to business this fall.
Milstead Doubtful;
Goehring to Tackle
Cold weather sent the Aggies to
their closets in search of coats and
long red flannels, but it will take
more than heavy clothes to dis
courage the chill Coach Jim Myers
feels with the injury of his star
quarterback Charley Milstead.
“Milstead looks like he will def
initely not play against Arkansas
Saturday,” said the Aggie mentor,
“but it depends on how his knee
injury improves.” The Aggie tail-

back has not worked out in pads
so far this week and is not expect
ed to do so.
But all is not black for the Ag
gies, because there is a good chance
that Milstead might be able to play
in some of the remaining games.
The A&M senior suffered a knee
injury against Baylor last Satur
day that was diagnosed as a torn
ligament on the same knee that
he had injured several times in the
past two seasons.
Other serious injuries hampering
the Farmers are first string Tackle
Bill Godwin’s bruised knee, End
Ralph Smith’s injured shoulder and
End Russell Hill’s sprained ankle.
Fullback Bob Caskey and End
Richard Love are also on the in
jured list.
“This is the worst condition we
have been in all year,” said Myers.
Allen Goehring, a senior from
San Marcos, has been permanent
ly transferred from a guard posi
tion to a tackle slot to replace the
injured Godwin. Goehring worked
at that position last week and saw
action as a tackle against Baylor.
