Hughes Turning Frosh
Into Hard-Nose Team
THE BATTALION j? a j| Training N
In Session Daily

Assistant Sports Editor
After going into the second
week of workouts, Coach Travis
Hughes is turning his Fish into
hard-hitting college football play
ers. Hughes said, “The team is
showing good hustle, after the
first week. They are starting to
hit a lot better and are getting
. more fire.”
Coach Hughes continued to say
that one of the biggest strong
points of the young team is at
fullback where two former high
school All-Staters, Jerry Rogers
of Corpus Christi and Bobby Evans
of Thorndale, have been shining.
Starting quarterback Jim Linn-
staedter of Brenham has been
looking good, according to Hughes.
In the punting department, Eddie
Hall of Dickinson has been getting
off some fine kicks.
At the halfback spots, Phil
Peter of Houston and George Har
gett of Linden have been improv
ing daily and are expected to be
at top form for the TCU game
Oct. 5.
Big Ray Kubala of West, at
center, seems to be the top line
man. Other linemen who have
shown up good during the past
week of workouts include end
Larry Crutsinger of Brown wood,
tackle Johnny Kolacek of George
West, and guard Terry McLeod
of Jasper.
One oddity in the first tw r o
teams is the appearance of Mike
Pizzotola of Houston at guard.
Pizzotala is the first Corps mem
ber to make good since varsity
tackle Joe Eilers came out in 1957.
Last week Eilers started at right
tackle against Texas Tech.
Coach Hughes said, “We will
not rely just on running or just
on passing, but will have a well-
balanced attack with both.”
Although this year’s Fish team
isn’t as big in number as the
teams in the past, it is still
blessed with eleven all-staters,
which could mean a lot.

Oklahoma Sooners May Start
Complaining About Texans
By HAROLD Y. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Oklahoma lost its opening game
of the season to Northwestern 19-3
and any day now you might ex
pect the Sooners to start com
plaining about the quality of the
Texas schoolboy football players.
Oklahoma depends on Texas to
(uild its team each year and when
the team doesn’t do well, it is
only natural that Texas be blamed.
Even those fellows Coach Bud
Wilkinson and cohorts have been
taking away from Southwest Con
ference schools, where they had
signed letters of intent, haven’t
materially helped the situation.
This season’s Oklahoma varsity
shows 24 Texans, which is only
14 fewer than there are Oklaho
mans. Seven of the Texans are
starters, 13 are lettermen.
Most Texas boys have been go
ing to Oklahoma presumably be
cause of its great winning tradi
tion. But the past two years have
seen Oklahoma fortunes fall. Last
year the Sooners lost three games
—45-13 to Northwestern, 19-12 to
Texas, 25-21 to Nebraska. Yet
the flow of schoolboy stars across
the Red River continues. There
just must be something besides
winning that’s attracting them.
On the Oklahoma varsity this
season are Texans Jim Byerly,
Crane, center; Jimmy Carpenter,
Abilene, quarterback; Duane Cook,
Amarillo Palo Duro, left guard;
Tom Cox, Amarillo, right tackle;
Monte Deere, Amarillo Palo Duro,
left half; Bud Dempsey, Fort
Worth Castleberry, fullback; 0. C.
Haley, Poteet, center; Dale Keadle,
Stinnett, right half; Vernon Lang,
Wichita Falls, left guard; Paul
Lea, Terrell, left half; Mike Mc
Clellan, left half, Stamford; Karl
Milstead, Athens, right guard;
Max Morris, Littlefield, right
tqckle; Bob Page, Borger, quarter
back; James Parker, Sweetwater,
fullback; Jimmy Payne, Stamford,
right guard; Ronny Payne, Breck-
enridge, left end; Jerry Pettibone,
Dallas Jesuit, left half; Bob
Scholl, Wichita Falls, center; Dale
Wallace, Fort Worth, fullback;
Bennett Watts, Breckenridge,
quarterback; Billy White, Ama
rillo, left tackle; Gary Wylie,
Whitesboro, fullback; Marshall
York, Amarillo, right tackle.
Cook, Deere, Dempsey, Haly,
Lea, Parker, Jimmy Payne and
Wylie all are sophomores.
The Aggie soccer team has be
gun its fall training under the
direction of their captain, Guiller
mo Guerra and the co-captain,
Orlando Cossani. They are prac
ticing every afternoon from 5 to
6.
The team is getting ready to
play in the Houston Soccer League
and play their opening game with
Houston United on Oct. 9 at Me
morial Park Stadium in Houston.

A & M Hasn’t Met
Trinity Since 1951
Back in 1951 the Aggies went
to a surging victory over Trinity
University by a score of 53-13,
and that was the last time the
two teams have met.
This year the Aggies have add
ed Trinity to their pre-conference
slate, as well as returning for an
other bout next year.
After the 1951 contest in which
the Aggies’ All-American Bob
Smith was at his peak, a new
coach was hired—W. A. McEl-
reath.
Since McElreath started his
coaching duties at Trinity he has
won 43 games, lost 28 and tied
one. He employs the “Trinity T”
formation, which call for unortho
dox line spacing, flankers, and is
is noted for bringing “a rabbit out
of the hat” at most anytime.
McElreath and Cadet Coach
Jim Myers have one thing in com
mon, however, since Myers played
college football at Tennessee Uni
versity and McElreath was at
Vanderbilt University.
The last time Trinity competed
against a Southwest Conference
school was in 1952 when they were
beaten 47-0.
Although Trinity hasn’t partici
pated in SWC activity for the past
few years they are certainly no
newcomer as pre-conference foes.
In Trinity’s first season of foot
ball during 1900, their first and
only game was played with the
Baylor Bears.
No games were staged for Trin
ity in 1901, but in 1902 their whole
schedule was made up from the
SWC. During that year the Ti
gers played Baylor twice, A&M
and Texas University. And so on
through the years, many of Trin-

NEW YORK—The “upset spe
cial” is highballing it toward Law
rence, Kan., this week, but look
out for those 225-pound behe
moths blocking the rails.

Arkansas 14, Texas Christian
12: TCU’s advantage of playing
at home‘not enough to offset im-7; Minnesota 18, Indiana 12, Colo
proving Razorbacks.
Army 23, California 13: Air
arm built around Dick Eckert and
Tom Blanda add to Golden Bears’
woes.
Mississippi 34, Memphis State
0: If Ole Miss is tops, as the.
polls say, who is Memphis State
to question it?
Clemson 22, Virginia Tech 8:
Grit and grits are a potent com
bination.

fornia 7: The Buckeyes are fan
cier with passes this year, but
