THE BATTALI
Hank Says U of H Wanted Win, Then Scrambles Lineu
By TEX ROGERS
Sports Editor
Coach Hank Foldberg said
Tuesday the reasons for the 10-0
loss to Houston were individual
breakdowns in the offense and
a team that wanted to win more
than the Aggies. Then he an
nounced a scramble in his lineup
for A&M’s SWC opener with Tex
as Tech Saturday.
“We had a lot of breakdowns
individually, especially on of
fense,” the Aggie mentor said.
“But a lot of that can be contri
buted to youthfulness. I think
a lot of the boys were looking
ahead to Texas Tech, but that’s
no excuse. Houston just want
ed to win more than we did.”
The coach then said he wasn’t
discouraged over the loss and
that he expects the Maroon td
rebound against the Red Raiders.
“The boys’ attitude is in good
shape,” he told his weekly news
conference. “We have some good,
competitive athletes on the team
and they’re not going to take
anything lying down.”
The most prominent changes in
the Aggie lineup, after two foot
ball games, as announced by
Foldberg were:
1. Sophomore Dan Westerfield
to right offensive halfback ahead
of Tommy Meeks.
2. Ed Breding, sophomore from
Jacksboro, ahead of James Dren-
nen at defensive left end.
3. Ray Gene Hinze from defen
sive left tackle to offensive right
tackle, with the possibility of the
220-pound senior playing both
ways.
4. Offensive left tackle Melvin
Simmons to defensive left tackle.
5. Defensive right guard Don
Koehn ahead of sophomore Har
vey Ermis.
6. Sophomore defensive right
halfback Mike Phillips to offen
sive right halfback.
7. Defensive end John Poss to
offensive left end.
8. Defensive left guard Tom
Krichmer to offensive left guard.
The Aggie mentor also said
that defensive tackle Bobby
Evens will not be in play Satur
day night because of an injured
ankle.
Sophomore Lindy Endsley will
start in place of Evens.

The Cardinals and Reds each
have four games remaining while
the Phillies, two behind the leaders
in the loss column, have only three

After Wednesday night’s series
finale against the Phils, St. Louis

Randy Writes Thanks
For Support In Trials
Editor’s Note: Randy Matson, 19-year-old Aggie shot-
putter, is now in Tokyo, Japan preparing for the 1964
Olympic Games next month. Randy’s ticket to the Games
was a second-place effort at the Olympic Trials in Los
Angeles, Sept. 12. Before and after the Trials, the young
star was besieged with telegrams and letters from Aggies
all over the nation, giving him support and congratulations.
In appreciation of this, Randy wrote the following letter to
John Lindsey of Houston, president of the Association of
Former Students of Texas A&M:
Dear Mr. Lindsey,
I really appreciate your and all Aggie support this last
year. It has helped me reach a goal in athletics that I have
dreamed of for a long time.
I must have received 40 telegrams and letters from ex
students the week of the Olympic Trials. It is really a good
feeling to know people are thinking about you and are pulling
for you.
Since I will never have enough time to thank each person
individually, I would appreciate it if you could thank the A&M
Clubs for me. I know for sure that no athlete had more sup
port than I did in the Trials. I hope I can represent Texas
A&M well in the Olympics. Thank you again.
Yours truly,
Randy Matson

Jim Willenborg, A&M’s veteran
defensive safety, will be on hand
for the Raiders after missing the
Houston encounter with foot
trouble. Whether he handles the
punting chores depends on the
condition of his foot.
Foldberg recalled the previ
ous week’s action and noted
A&M’s play on defense.
“Defensively, we don’t have too
much to get upset over,” he
said. “But offensively, we could
n’t control the ball.
From the defensive platoon the
coach singled out linebacker Joe
Wellborn, halfbacks Mike Devine
and Mike Pittman, and end Ed
Breding.
Hank also seemed more than
pleased with the team’s passing,
“even though we missed so many
against Houston.”

FootbaU Cycle Terminated
As Uzzell Returns To End
A T.

Coliseu
BY LANI PRESSWOOD
Assistant Sports Editor
Senior letterman Billy Uzzell has
now completed the gridiron cycle.
The 191-pounder was originally
an All-District end at Eagle Lake
High School. He enrolled at Wich
ita University and was shifted to
quarterback. He transferred to Ag-
gieland as a quarterback but lined
up most of last season at halfback.
During spring drills he was
moved back to split end and has
held down the starting berth at
that spot ever since.
“I definitely like split end the
best,” says Uzzell succinctly.
The mathematics major has ad
justed so well to the move that he
has emerged as the leading Aggie
pass receiver of the young season.
He has snagged five aerials thus
far with an average gain of 10
yards a reception. •
Uzzell had a major role in the 81-
yard Ag touchdown drive against
LSU this season. He pulled down
two passes on the TD march, both
good for key first downs.
The Bengals also felt Uzzell’s
presence last year. In that contest,
Uzzell hit Travis Reagan with a
halfback pass which gave the Ca
dets their only score of the game.
This season the passing chores
have been turned over to two-year
letterman Dan Mcllhany.
“Mcllhany is the best quarter
back A&M has had since I’ve been
here,” relates Uzzell. “That in
cludes running, passing, and every
thing else a quarterback has to
do.”
Like most Aggies, Uzzell would
like to forget about last Friday
night’s encounter with the Univer
sity of Houston.
“I think that one will go down
as our off game of the whole year.
We’ve got that bad one out of our
system now.”
What about the Texas Tech clash
Saturday?
“This is a real big game for all
of us and we want it real had.
We’ve got a good football team
and we still have confidence in our
selves. This afternoon we had our
best workout since spring train
ing.”
The likeable Aggie wingman is
not Eagle Lake’s only claim to
fame. The town is known as “The
Goose Hunting Capital of i
World.” Some 120,000 geese i|
nually flock into the area.
A once-popular song starts j
“My Heart Goes Where the 1
Goose Goes.”
