I HI TM| CO^WV* MV/MH 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 Bottled under authority of The Coca-Cola Company by BRYAN COCA COLA BOTTLING COMPANY 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.

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- Intramurals Aggie intramurals continue to move at a rapid pace with Sq. 1 leading in both class A and B di visions.
