Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, September 17, 1964 BATTALION Rainfall Moves Aggies Inside For Workouts A steady rain Wednesday after noon forced the Aggie grid team indoors where they continued prep- erations for their season opener against LSU Saturday. “I was satisfied with the work out,” commented Head Coach Hank Foldberg. “We just had them re viewing the things we’ve been working on all fall. It was a polishing session.” “One thing in our favor is a lack of serious injuries. We’re doing real fine from that stand point.” The Cadet mentor had his charges running through their play retinue and defensing against formations likely to be used by the Bengals Saturday night. The squad suited up in their regular football uniforms but sub stituted tennis shoes for their standard footwear. The hardwood floor of G. Rollie White Coliseum was the scene of the workout. Reports of rainy weather throughout the South have caused some concern on campus about the playing conditions for Saturday’s contest. Foldberg expressed confidence that the turf in Tiger Stadium would be protected by a tarpaulin covering. WELCOME AGGIES! Barbering at “its best” just a short drive to . . .

Dan’s Not Scared Of ‘Ragin 9 Cajuns 9 Dan Mcllhany, a senior with two varsity letters, will be starting his first collegiate football game as a quarterback Saturday night when he mans the A&M offensive throttle. It won’t be his first experience as a collegiate quarterback, just his first starting assignment at that spot. Some contend that Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is no place for such baptism but Mcllhany isn’t worried about it. “I remember when I was a TAYLOR TIRE CENTER 1105 W. 25th TA 2-4661 Melvin Taylor, Owner 50% DISCOUNT! 750 - 14, 4 Ply—Reg Price $28.95 Discount $14.48 Same discount on all first-line tires.

LSU isn’t invincible and we’re going down there to play them the best game we can.” At six-feet, 190-pounds, Mcll hany has the size to play quarter back. He is quick, both with his hands and feet and a field general who has the entire Aggie squad solidly behind him. Last season he finished as a de fensive halfback and was one of the best in the SWC. At the out set this year he’ll specialize on offense. Mcllhany is best remembered for his 103-yard touchdown run on a kickoff return which beat Texas Tech, 7-3, when he was a sopho more. Aggie Coach Hank Foldberg is confident that Mcllhany can get the job done as his quarterback this season. “His experience as a defensive halfback gives him a working knowledge of what to ex pect from the defenses he’ll face.” The right fit In the right fabric! in Heavyweight CORDUROY The long, lean look of WHITE LEVI’S looks even better, accented in the vertical, ribbing of handsome, heavyweight, carefree corduroy.
