Aggie Football Schedule Holds No Easy GameA rugged intersectional schedule
in addition to the always rough Southwest Conference play greets the Aggies this year on the gridiron beginning with their opening game Saturday with the Red Raiders of Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
A brief summary of Aggie opponents shows:
Texas TechTech’s inexperience will prob
ably be offset by a new, wide-open offense under the leadership of DeWitt Weaver, who, like Jim Myers, is a graduate of the University of Tennessee.
After losing 15 of last season’s lettermen who compiled a 3-7 record, including a 15-14 win over the Aggies, Tech will have only 7 seniors on its 44-man squad.
Top returnee is junior center E. J. Holub. Other standouts should be end Bob Witucki, halfback Ronnie Rice and tackle Jerry Self- ridge. Sophomores expected to give the Ags trouble are back Bake Turner, tackle Larry Mullins and guard John Hanst.
Only other Tech wins last year
were over Arizona and Wekt Texas State College.
Michigan StateA journey to East Lansing,
Mich., to meet the Michigan State University Spartans Sept. 26 will be the next obstacle facing the Ags after Tech.
After one of the most disastrous seasons in Spartan history Duffy Daugherty expects to start the long climb back this fall.
Lack of experience in proven players may keep MSU at the middle of the Big- Ten pack. Excellent team speed, good backfield depth and a heavy sprinkling of sophomores sums up the Spartans.
Mississippi SouthernOct. 3 the Ags will be on the
road again. On that date they will take on Mississippi Southern College’s Southerners at Mobile, Ala.
The Southerners were 1958 national small college champions, but lost three quarterbacks, 14 of 27 lettermen and Little All-American End Bob Yencho.
With a 9-0 record last year, the Southerners will still be formid-
For All Students
Intramiirals Part of Ag
Form i Life
Intramurals, which are a big part of campus activity at A&M, are set up on a competitive basis between Air Force squadrons, Army outfits and civilian teams Under three classes.
The three are Class A for Corps Upperclassmen, Class B for Corps freshmen and Class C for civilian teams. This is all under the direction of Barney Welsh, former A&M football star, and his staff of student intramural managers.
“The main outcome of this pim- gram is students being able to let off steam,” said Welch.
The managers referee, umpire and control all intramural sport:-. They do most of the actual field work and are awarded a sweater at the end of each year. They see that all rules are obeyed, all games are run without mishap and compute each outfit’s scores.
Rule books are passed out to each outfit.
The outfits and dorms appoint their own intramural officer who is usually a senior. It is the job of the officer to appoint the teams and see that they get practice and know which days they play. The officer has assistants to help in this work.
All during the school year there are all forms of sports. There are the 15 regular intramural sports. Also there are the open sports which outfits may receive extra points for winning.
Each outfit is required to enter
at least 10 of the regular sports. At the end of the year points are compiled and awards are given to the winners of each class.
The sports that can be entered are swimming, wrestling, golf, horseshoes, handball, softball, bowling, rifle, tennis, track, crosscountry, football, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, open tennis, open golf, open handball and open badminton.
able opponents.University of Houston
The Ags will play their first home game Oct. 3 against archrival University of Houston’s Cougars.
Overall balance and speed are the assets of the 1959 Cougars whose 1958 version swamped the Cadets, 39-7.
Claude King, who owns a 6.1 yard per carry average for two varsity seasons, will be back for his senior year to try and help fill gaps caused by the loss of 10 lettermen.
Texas Christian University A trip to Fort Worth to meet
the SWC defending champion TCU Horned Frogs will open the the Southwest Conference race for Myers’ charges.
Losing only seven lettermen from their Cotton Bowl club, the Frogs promise to be just tough as they were last year when they defeated A&M, 24-8.
All-America Tackle Don Floyd and all-SWC backs Jack Spikes and Marvin Lasater will lead the Frogs.
Baylor,Revenge-hungry Baylor’s Bears, still smarting from last year’s surprise loss to the Cadets, will invade Kyle Field Oct. 24.
A new coach and a new prostyle offense, similar to the one used by the National Football League Champion Baltimore Colts, will be the assets of the Baylor team.
The Bear defense is expected to be much weaker than their wide- open offense.
University of Arkansas Myers’ squad will travel Oct. 31
to the Ozarks to take on the possible darkhorse in the SWC race, the University of Arkansas Razor- backs.
Fast backs and top linemen will aid Coach Frank Broyle’s try to continue the four-game winning
streak he started at the conclusion of last season.
The streak began when the Hogs dropped A&M, 21-8, after losing their first six games.
Southern Methodist UniversityHeralded Quarterback Don Mer
edith will lead SMU’s Mustangs into Kyle Field Nov. 7 to meet the Cadets.
Tabbed as pre-season favorites, the Mustangs have an abundance
of fine backs - and big, fast < linemen.
SMU posted a 6-4 record win last year including the 33-0 win over A&M.
Rice InstituteNear repeaters for the SWC
crown in 1958, the Owls will greet the invading Aggies with a top- notch line from tackle to tackle and an improved backfield.
Jess Neely will begin his 20th

season with the Owls and will be seeking to improve over his 5-5 record last year.
University of Texas The last time the Longhorns
visited Kyle Field, it was to knock the Ags out of a Cotton Bowl trip and this Thanksgiving will find the roles somewhat reversed.
One of the favored teams for
the SWC crown, the Ags might have a chance to keep the Steers out of the Bowl by winning the big one.
Terrific backfield speed in such men as Mike Gotten, James Saxton and Rene Ramirez will give Darrell Royal’s third attempt at a SWC-winning team at Texas a big boost. r
