Keller said Tech running back James Mosley, who ran for better than 150 yards and scored four touchdowns, was the best freshman running back he had ever seen with the exception of Jim Bertelson of Texas, who now is a junior on the Longhorns unbeaten team. “I was very much pleased with our play,” Coach Shelby Metcalf said regarding his team’s play in a freshman-varsity scrimmage Friday. “Steve (Niles) and Chuck (Smith) did a great job on the boards,” he said of the varsity’s 80-59 win over the freshmen, who were paced by the work of 6-7 Johnny Mayo of Taft.
