Double Trouble In Store From This Pair
Edd Hargett, a 20-year-old jun
ior, has played in only 12 varsity
football games for the Texas Ag
gies but he already is the “pass-
ingest passer” in A&M history.
Last year as a sophomore Har
gett virtually rewrote the Aggie
passing record book. Now after
two games as a junior he has
added another and is so close to
three others that it is only a mat
ter of a game or so before he
holds them all.
Hargett now has thrown 324
passes for the Aggies. The old
mark was 321 by Charlie Mil-
stead in 1957-58-59. Hargett has
completed 161. Milstead has the
career record of 164 but that may
fall this week against LSU. Har
gett has passed for 1,968 yards.
Milstead’s record of 2,072 is only
104 yards better and that, too,
may fall in Baton Rouge. Har
gett has passed for 12 touch
downs. The A&M career mark is
13, by Dick Gardemal in 1949-50-
51 and it should go like the oth
ers real soon.
Milstead’s 24 interceptions is
another record and Hargett hopes
he doesn’t break that one but he’s
had 21 swiped and he’ll have to
be careful else he’ll add that to
his list, too.
Last year Hargett set nearly
all the passing records for a sin
gle game or a season as he hit on
132 of 265 attempts for 1,532
yards and 10 touchdowns.
His two touchdown tosses this
year both have gone to Bob Long,
for 29 yards against SMU and
60 yards against Purdue. Oddly,
Long has caught only four, two
in each game. So, when Hargett
aims at Long, he is aiming to
score.
Hargett, who took on a bride
this past summer, played basket
ball, baseball and ran track in
addition to playing quarterback
at Linden-Kildare High in East
Texas. He hurt a knee in the
seventh game of his senior year
and had two operations, thus
missing his freshman year of
competition at A&M.
He has a strong right arm and
really whistles the football to
ward his targets. The receivers,
however, contend that Hargett
throws a soft pass, one with the
nose up and easy to catch. He
has been equally effective on ei
ther short or long throws.
Hargett is a quiet, likable
young man and a quick-thinking
leader on the field of battle.
He considered only one other
school during the time he was be
ing recruited. That was Arkan
sas. But, when he met A&M
Coach Gene Stallings he was sold
on A&M. And, he has never re
gretted the decision.
“On target with Hargett” is
the passing slogan around A&M.
The Aggies, hopeful of breaking
into the win column this week,
will be pulling for Edd to break
some records against the LSU
Tigers Saturday night in Baton
Rouge.
★★★
Back when Paul Bryant was
bringing Texas A&M to national
football fame, there was a big
tackle on the club named Charlie
Krueger who played well enough
to win All-America honors two
years running (1956 and 1957).
A Rip VanWinkle type, coming
out of a sleep of 10 years, would
swear that Ole Charlie still is
playing tackle for the Aggies.
He’d almost be correct. One of
A&M’s prime tackles is a Krue
ger. He’s Rolf, a younger broth
er of Charlie’s but not a “little”
brother. Rolf, now a junior,
stands 6-4 and weighs 227. You
just don’t associate the word “lit
tle” with those dimensions.
Rolf played his high school
■football at Bryan, a city that
connects with College Station and
he has had to face that “big

Persons interested in partici
pating in the Aggie bowling
league and qualifying for the In-
trecollegiate Match team should
meet at the bowling center Oct.
2.
All leagues will be worked on
a handicap basis and there will
be three players to a team. There
will be as many teams formed
as posible, depending on interest
shown.
To qualify for the Intercolleg
iate Match team, last year’s av
erage will be used by returning
students. New students will roll
10 games before Oct. 2 to estab-

average last year may bowl in
the 10-game roll-off. There will
be a special price of $2.50 for
the 10 games.
A&M’s match team will bowl
other colleges and universities
in the Intercollegiate Traveling

It didn’t seem to have much
effect on him last season. He
was perhaps the best sophomore
defensive tackle in the Southwest.
This year he has moved to offen

Purdue, a few injuries among the

quarter. He hasn’t lost any of
Rolf was very responsible for
A&M’s 7-6 victory over Rice last
year. It was late in the game and
Rice had just scored to pull up
to within one point, at 7-6. QB
Robert Hailey dropped back to

As he turned, the big, hulking

Charlie was the quiet type and
Rolf is no loud mouth by any

has played in 12 varsity games

He’s quick for his size and he’s
strong and tough.
The way he’s improving it will
be difficult for the All-America
selectors to ignore him.
