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.

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.

sophomore there and I was scared
to death. But now I realize that
those fans (sometimes referred to
as ‘ragin’ Cajuns’) can’t get down
on the field and play. 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.”

DALLAS—Fifteen sports writ
ers and sports announcers, after
completing a 2,000-mile trip to
training camps of all eight South
west Conference teams, have selec
ted Texas to repeat as 1964 foot
ball champion.
The tour-ending poll is back
grounded by approximately 300
man-hours of interviews with the
coaches and top players at the
schools. Of the 15 persons parti
cipating in the poll, eight picked
Texas to win and two picked the
Longhorns to tie for the title.
Joe Heiling, Austin Statesman:
1-Texas (“Never bet against the
champion. Texas has the talent
to win it again—not the national
title, but good enough to win the
SWC”); 2-Baylor; 3-Rice; 4-Arkan-
sas; 5-Texas Tech; 6-A&M; 7-
SMU; 8-TCU.
Jim Browder, Ft. Worth Press:
1- Baylor (“Probably will come up
with best quarterback and thus a
winning offense. Tie for first with
Rice and Texas is strong possibi
lity”); 2-Rice; 3-Texas; 4-Arkan-
sas; 5-TCU; 6-Texas Tech; 7-
SMU; 8-A&M.
Blackie Sherrod, Dallas Times-

Texas Tech; 6-SMU; 7-A&M; 8-
TCU.
Frank Boggs, Dallas Times-

siders its problems, the drouth may
be at an end”) ; 2-Baylor; 3-Arkan-
sas; 4- Texas Tech; 5-Rice; 6-
SMU; 7-A&M; 8-TCU.
Sam Payne, Amarillo Globe-
News: 1-Texas (“Far be it from
me to be different; Texas has
tradition. Rice looks best on paper
but seldom does well when picked.
I have a hunch it may be Baylor
but it’s a major risk to pick a
team that hasn’t won since 1924”);
2-Baylor; 3-Rice; 4-Arkansas; 5-
Texas Tech; 6-SMU; 7-A&M; 8-
TCU.

terback, with other qualities of
major contenders about equal”);
2-Texas; 3-Baylor; 4-A&M; 5-
Arkansas; 6-Texas Tech; 7-TCU;
8-SMU.
Burle Pettit, Lubbock Avalanche-

has fewer critical question marks
than other contenders”); 2-Ark-
ansas; 3-Baylor; 4-Rice; 5-Texas
Tech; 6-A&M; 7-SMU; 8-TCU.
Sam Blair, Dallas Morning News:

may not be quite as abundant as
last year, but there’s still that
tremendous pride and coaching.
CBS may try to buy this team
next”); 2-Rice; 3-Texas Tech; 4-
Baylor; 5-Arkansas; 6-A&M; 7-
SMU; 8-TCU.

Bill Mercer, KRLD-TV Dallas
1-Texas (“Texas impressed me
its obvious filling of the grai
uated holes and its winning desk
Texas Tech may surprise with H
size and fine backfield. I see Tf>
as A&M as the sleeper”); 2-Bayif;
