Loupot's 25th Year Serving Texas Aggies North Gate After winning two outright Southwest Conference Champion ships in 1964, the Fightin’ Texas Aggies are Cotton Bowl bound to make it three by not paying any attention to the polls and experts. A decision will not be reached until opening night in Baton Rouge, as to the new spirit of Aggieland recently exposed in Tex as Football. Top figure in the key slot for the cadets will be the Aggieland legend, Dan Mcllhany. Mcllhany, 6-0, 190, returned a kick-off in 1961 for 103 yards with 19 sec onds left to play after Texas Tech had broken a score-less game with a field goal. Budgie Ford, 6-10, 186, is top candidate for the fullback position after leading the cadets in 1963, rushing with 134 yards on 62 car ries as halfback. The spring switch to fullback will give the Aggies more breakaway threat. Ronnie Lindsey and Tommy Meeks will be handling the ball from the halfback spot. Lindsey, 6-0, 202, has the speed to go all the way from left halfback and Meeks, 6-0, 175, provides good blocking at right. Along with the ends, Mcllhany will find good receivers among the halfbacks. Although the line is lacking in size compared to the 1963 team, the cadets will have more mobility. The Aggies pride themselves on the hard-nose defense tactics and that crunching tackling which was evident in the spring. Offense was stressed during spring practice and the cadets are expected to display more fire Aggies ’63 Schedule Date Opponent Place these seniors to leave A&M with Sept 19 LSU Baton Rouge a winning team.

The final spring game exhibited crisp block ing, quick, determined running, improved passing and a sound kicking game. Heading the line will be tackles Ray Gene Hinze and Bobby Evans. Hinze, at 6-1, 22-, is considered by the Aggie coaches to be as good as anyone in the conference. Evans is 6-3 at 220. Guards Ronney Moore and Yan cey Bounds will also be key mem bers of the tough Aggie line. Moore, 6-1, 218, is rated with Hinze, at 6-1, 221, is considered by Aggies. Bounds, at 6-0, weighs 215. Joe Wellborn will begin the sea son in the center position and will be defensive linebacker. He is 6-1, 209. End position will be filled by John Brotherton, 6-2, 212, and Bil ly Uzzell, 6-3, 191, building the Ag gies in experience at end over last season. For the second straight season, the Aggie eleven will open with four tough opponents that would shake some teams for the rest of the year. Depth for the cadets will be drawn from the 1963 fresh man team that posted a 4-1 sea son, losing only to a tough TCU team. The farmers will suffer from the loss of Jim Keller in the kick ing department but Jim Willen- borg will lead the way for the cadets as his high punts will give the Aggies more time for coverage. The 15 seniors will be what is left of a top fish recruiting cam paign three years ago. If each player develops to full potentiality, the cadets will field a team Aggie land will remember.
