The starting lineup will field a
team headed by Breckenridge
speedster, Harry Ledbetter who
called the shots for the AAA pow
er while in high school. Ledbet
ter stands 6-1 and weighs 195.
Known as a good signal caller,
Ledbetter was a valuable asset to
Breckenridge.
Surrounding Ledbetter in the
backfield will be Ronnie Lindsey
at the right halfback post, Lloyd
Curington at left half and Joe
Weiss at the fullback slot.

FROM THE
Sideii
irteA
By JIM BUTLER
The fans in Columbus, Ohio, call their city the “Football
Capital of the World.” And well they might.
There were 81,241 people on the east bank of the
Olentangy River to see Ohio State open its season against
A&M Saturday. This is a good-sized group in anybody’s
book but there it is just average. The average can’t go
much higher though since the stadium only seats 82,000.
Last year, Illinois visited Ohio State stadium in a
driving rain . . . before 80,000 fans. Two years ago, Indiana
played the Buckeyes in Columbus with the temperature near
freezing and a heavy snow falling—54,000 saw the game.
So Columbus’ claim to fame is hard to dispute.
But an interesting comparison can be made between
the type of fans at Ohio State and the fans in the South
west. One big difference was the attire. Many of the co-eds
who turned out to see the Aggies wore shorts, slacks and
pedal-pushers while the men wore sweaters, shorts and other
extremely casual accoutrements. Students at SWC schools
wouldn’t be caught dead in this kind of dress for a football
game.
The dress was just one indication of the completely
different attitude the fans at Ohio State had toward football.
The huge crowds give evidence of their interest. But
it is a more reserved partisanship. The tremendous crowd
wasn’t nearly as loud as the 14,000 fewer fans who watched
the Cadets play Louisiana State two weeks ago. There was
considerably less activity in Columbus the night before the
game than in Baton Rouge.
Another difference that impressed many of the Aggies
and faculty members who made the trip was the Ohio State
sportsmanship.
The team worked out Friday afternoon in the stadium
while the OSU band was practicing in a nearby field. When
the team left the stadium to go back to the hotel, the band
gave a loud yell—not “Aggies go home,” or “Beat the Hell
out of A&M,”—just a great, big “Hello.” And the band
played the Aggie War Hymn several times during the game.
It can be argued that the A&M-OSU game was not a
traditional battle and the Aggies were distant strangers and
thus explain away the actions of the Ohio fans. But ques
tions put to several members of the OSU staff revealed that
the situation was not much different when the Buckeyes
were playing Northwestern, Iowa or any other Big 10 school.
This writer is not arguing one way or another. In
fact this writer rather prefers the hullabaloo surrounding
Texas football.
But there is a difference.

LINDSEY, a 6-1, 200 pounder
was an offensive spark-plug at
Hallettsville. Currington played
his high school football at Ste
phen F. Austin in Houston. He
will go into the game weighing
160, the lightest back on the squad.
Big Joe Weiss, the 6-4, 210 pound
er from Pflugerville will anchor
down the fullback slot. Pfugerville
is the Class B power which has
romped over so many opponents.
No doubt, hefty Joe had something
to do with those encounters. Weiss
was a quarterback in high school
but converted to the fullback posi
tion this year. The backfield will
average out to 191 per man.
CHARACTERISTIC of all Aggie
football teams, this 1963 Fish
aggregation has a big, beefy line.
Manning the end positions are
John Poss on the left side of the
line and James Wallace on the
right side. Poss is from Browns
ville and is 6-4, weighing 195. Wal
lace is a 6-4, 190 pounder from
Texas City. Holding down the
tackling chores will be Harvey
Ermis, 6-4, 220 at left tackle while
the right tackle post will go to
either John Liptak or Lindy End
sley. It probably won’t matter
much to TCU who starts being
that Liptak is a 6-5, 230 pounder
and Endsley is 6-6 and weighs 250.
MIKE SMITH and Tommy Kir
chner will be the starting left and
right guards respectively. Smith
is from Daingerfield and weighs
195. His guarding partner, Kirch
ner tips the scales at 222 to go
with his 6-2 frame. Ken Lamkin
from Early, Texas will be the
center.
