Austin High School are both given little chance of winning dis trict football championships this fall, according to the editors of “Texas Football” magazine. The scribes have tentatively named Cameron as the team to beat in Consolidated’s District 19- AA, while the Austin Maroons are favored to cop the District 13- AAAA bunting. The play of quarterback Russell Welch, halfback Cyril Burke and center Charles Roeber is expected to provide the bright points for Consolidated. Hearne, Rockdale, and Caldwell are also due to be improved and the scribes have forecast a rough year for the Tigers. In 13-AAAA, Tom Stockton, who is due to start at either fullback or quarterback, is expected to be the brightest star for new Coach Dutch Ohlendorf’s Bryan Broncos, after a strong 8-2 team last year. “NOT” TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!

College ' TA 2-1252 Only one starter and 12 letter- men will return, however, with juniors and squadmen to spell the difference as the Broncos battle the experienced Maroons and also Temple and Waco for district hon ors. The sports writers say so and A&M Coach Jim Myers does not deny it. The Texas Aggies will be an improved football team this sea son—one that rates the “dark horse” billing in the always topsy turvy Southwest Conference race. A club buoyed by a heavy re turn of veterans and a sprinkling of eager sophomores, an improved offense and the expectation of the same good defense which high lighted Aggie play in 1960 are rea sons for optimism. A&M will not be picked by many to win the SWC title. However, the Aggies could prove game spoilers on any given Sat- . urday and loom at least a fourth I or fifth place finisher in the eight- j team league. Taking into consideration the Aggies’ fine spring training which Myers describes as “the best” in his four years as athletic director j and head coach, the evaluation by i the sports writers and the fact A that experience usually lends to M better performances, the 1961 Ag- W gies should be ready to “come to ^ play.” 1 Just how well the Cadets im prove on their 1-6-3 record of last \ ' year depends on the strength of their opponents, all reportedly im proved. Two of A&M’s chief problems of 1960, quarterbacking and passing, should be lessened. “There’s no doubt that quarter back is the key position in our 1961 plans. We just did not have adequate play there last year and will have to have it this season to be improved,” Myers said. It appeared at the end of spring training that letterman Ronnie Brice of Andrews and a talented runner from Brenham, Jim Linn- staedter, w’ould battle it out for the quarterback position. However, many days of summer study of practice movies have prompted the A&M coaching staff to alter their lineups and make position changes. As of now the quarterback post belongs to Jim Keller of Terrell. At A&M on a basketball scholar ship, the 6-5 former all-state per former was impressive in the spring drills. Right behind him are John Erickson of Waco, a junior college transfer who made the JC all- American team while at Tarleton EYES ROOKIE HONOR LOS ANGELES UP) — At the rate of his first half pace, rookie outfielder Ken Hunt of the Los Angeles Angels stands a chance to break Ted Williams’ record of 31 home runs as a rookies in 1939. Hunt had 18 homers at the first All-Star game break with half of the season to go. A TALL QUARTERBACK MILWAUKEE UP) — Vince Lombardi, coach of the Western Conference champion Green Bay Packers, believes Val Keckin, rookies quarterback from Missis sippi Southern, may be a real find. He weighs 220, is 6-foot-5 and has a strong arm.

Both are sophomores and are be ing described by the coaches as “exciting runners.” Bob Caskey of Gonzales, a 1960 starter, returns to right half, backed by Bonnie Ledbetter of Dalhart and Jim Murphy of El Reno, Okla. Sam Byer, A&M’s leading rusher last year with 381 yards in 105 trips (eight games), is back for his junior year at fullback. The Marlin blaster did not lose a yard all season, and averaged 3.6 yards per carry. Behind him will be Lee Roy Caffey of Thorndale, defensive specialist at linebacker, and Jerry Rogers, sophomore from Corpus Christi. Byer missed the last two games of the 1960 campaign. Rice and Texas, with a leg injury which appears to have completely healed. Brice, Caskey, Ledbetter, Mur phy, Byer and Caffey are all let- termen. It is the first taste of collegiate football for Keller, an impressive- looking 190-pounder who rode the Aggie basketball bench as a var sity reserve last winter. The I960 A&M foes left the playing field singing praises of the Aggie line. Myers hopes for a repeat this year. Sparked by Tackles Joe Filers of Hallettsville and Wayland Sim mons of San Antonio, Guards Jim Phillips of Freeport and Wifyne Freiling of San Antonio and Cen ter Jerry Hopkins of Mart, the forward wall from tackle to tackle should prove tough. Myers thinks Filers will be one of the outstanding linemen in the SWC. “A good blocker, Joe is always in the play on defense, has fierce determination played a bad game last He should be a real star thigy^_ Myers said. Filers came oul Cadet Corps when on scholarship, and fought hijj I to a first team berth after) held out of varsity compeUtim sophomore year. The end slots are question! It appears the posts will be hat] well on offense, but there question of defense. Probable starters are Bgw | Hill of Dallas and Bobby ” “ ton of Plainview. Spelling the stark are Pat Latham o Franklin Fisher of ends, Ben Krenek of George Hogan of | tackles, Guy Dillon and Keith Huggins < guards and Ray Ku at center.
