Robinette Adds
Height, Talent
To Title Hopes
Port Arthur products have
started a cage regime under coach
Bob Rogers. First came Carroll
Broussard to completely rewrite
A&M’s individual record book and
now Bill Robinette is turning in
fine performances as a starting
forward for the Aggies’ Southwest
Conference pacesetters.
Robinette, a 6-6 junior, lettered
as a sophomore and was second
high scorer on his freshman team
with a 13.1 average.
This year Robinette’s height has
been utilized mainly on the Cadets’
forward wall, where he has played
in 11 of the 12 games. An injury
kept him out of the Mississippi
Southern contest.
Robinette has scored 55 points
and pulled down 57 rebounds. His
high point total of 12 came in the
Aggies’ important 60-53 victory
over Texas Tech in Lubbock.
Rogers will be expecting and re
ceiving more help from this tall
junior Saturday night in Dallas as
the Aggies take on the SMU
Mustangs.

Brown Fired
At Cleveland
CLEVELAND (A 1 ) _ Paul E.
Brown was removed Wednesday as
head coach and general manager of
the Cleveland Browns—positions he
has held for 17 seasons with the
professional football he founded.
ARTHUR B. MODELL, presi
dent and principal owner of the
National Football League club, re
fused to say in so many words that
Brown had been fired, but there
was no indication the veteran
coach had resigned from a con
tract which had six years to go.
Brown was not immediately
available for comment, but his
wife said- tearfully that he “knew
it was coming.” Brown was not at
his club offices.
The announcement caught fans
here by surprise, but Modell said
he had been studying the change
closely for about three weeks and
had informed Brown of it Monday.
HE SAID Brown was agreeable
to remain as a vice president of
the club and would perform other
duties to finish out the balance
of his contract at the agreed sal
ary, believed to be in excess of
$50,000 a year. Brown also will
keep his minor stockholding in the
club. i
Modell said he hoped to an
nounce ai successor to Brown in
about 10 days, and added that sev
eral candidates were under consid
eration. He would not identify the
men, but did say Weeb Ewbank,
onetime Browns’ assistant coach
fired Tuesday as coach of the
NFL Baltimore Colts, was not now
among those candidates.

Former Aggie football coach
Homer Norton and his 1939 na
tional championship team were the
features of a long article which
appeared last week in the Lauret,
Miss. Leader-Call.
Sports Editor Odell McRae of
the Leader-Call sat next to soft-
spoken Norton in the Sug*ar Bowl
press box on New Year’s Day.
“AND AS we watched this
friendly and soft-spoken man who
sat beside us train his binoculars
on the scenes below,” said McRae,
“It was our thought that he was

Will Compete
Friday Night
Seven Aggies, including South
west Conference shot put record-
holder Danny Roberts, will com
pete in the Gulf Federation indoor
track and field meet at the Coli
seum in Houston Friday night.
Roberts, a 245-pound junior from
Cleveland, put the sphere 57-1 Vz
in the SWC Meet at Waco last
spring and is undefeated in two
years of indoor competition.
He holds the state indoor shot
record of 57-3%, set at Fort Worth
last season.
Roberts was A&M’s most out
standing performer last season,
also taking second place in the
SWC discus. Coach Charles
Thomas predicts that Roberts will
be the state’s first outdoor 60-foot
shot performer.
Other Aggie entries, all in the
field events, will include Charles
Hoppe, shot put; Don Weaver,
John Collins and James Daniel,
high jump; and Gail McDaniel and
Louis Poland, pole vault.
Deaver, from Brenham, has
jumped 6-6 on several occasions
and cleared that height for third
place in last spring’s SWC Meet.
He holds the school indoor record,
6-5%, set at Fort Worth last year.
Collins, from Liberty, is the de
fending SWC freshman high jump
champion at 6-6.
perhaps doing more remembering
than looking.”
The writer told of Norton’s
coaching the Aggies through an
undefeated 1939 season and to an
invitation to the 1940 Sugar Bowl.
“Tulane’^s Green Wave, the pride
of the Southeastern Conference,
was the 1940 Sugar Bowl foe of
the Aggies. The Green Wave
glittered with stars. And, being
in their own backyard, the Greenies
were favored to stop the Aggies.
“The Aggies were loaded with
stars that year. Jarrin’ . Jawn
Kimbrough, giant fullback. Mar
shall Foch Robnett, best guard in
college football.' Jim Thomason,
power-packed blocking back. Der
ace Moser, fleet-footed halfback
and the team’s punter. Walemon
Price, quarterback and extra point
specialist, and Little Herbie Smith,
147-pound end, smallest player on
the field.”
McRAE, from his interview with
Norton, retold the story of the
14-13 victory won by the Cadets
over Tulane that set them up as
undisputed national champions.
A friend sent a clipping of the
article to Norton. He was obvi
ously pleased and flattered by it.
He said it was one of the best
accounts of the old Sugar Bowl
triumph.
Said Norton, “It really told about
how it was in New Orleans that
year, and what the 1939 team was
like.”
The former A&M mentor said
that he plans to have the clipping
framed and hung in his pancake
house. “There are so many old
Aggies who come back to Bryan,”
he pointed out, “and drop by to
see me, that I thought they’d get
the same pleasant memories from
it.”
