Captained by Burns McKinney the

ber and most likely candidates for
starting positions on next season's
team will go against thu "Blues" led
by It. T. Boutwcll made up largely
of reserves and sophomore matcrinl.
One Sad Note
There is only one sad note con-
nected with this nfternoon's fray
the final gun will not ring down the
curtain on this season's spring prac-
tice. Forced to miss the past week
on tho training field because of ill-
ness Coach Frank Kimbrough is not
satisfied to call a halt on workouts
today.
Today's activities will cnnble tho
Dutchman and assistant conch Wen-
dell Harrison to pick out the out-
standing weaknesses and flaws in
their machine. Strict attention will
be paid to these discoveries the first
three afternoons of next week then
the Cowboys will definitely turn in
their uniforms nfter another intra-
squad game next Thursday afternoon.
"The reason 1 nin having so many
squad matches this spring" Kim-
brough said "is to give our great
number of inexperienced plnyers n
little taste of shellfire so that they
will know better what it is all about
next fall."
Tho Cowboy mentor declined to
make any definite statement concern-
ing prospects for next fall. He is
losing 14 lettcrmen however whose
places will be plenty hnrd to fill be-
foic another season.
"Spring training hasn't been as
good as I'd hoped" he added. "Our
fundamentals are pretty fair but tim-
ing and teamwork cannot be rntcd so
highly.
The entire squad with tho excep-
tion of Luther Rnley back who is ail-
ing with the mumps will be ready for
action this nfternoon. Eighteen of
the 44 will be sophomores next fall
and hnve never been through the var-
sity mill before.
Thumbnails
Here the thumbnail sketches of the
new fnecs the opinions of your re-
porter inside authorities and just
spectators the green timber first
because they are the least familiar:
R. E. Campbell center 180 pounds
from Matador. Is pretty good on de-
fense but could stand plenty of work
on offense; freshman.
Wade East right guard weighs
185 and hails from Oklahoma City.
Will have to show a lot of improve-
ment if he expects to make the trav-
eling sqund next fall; first year man.
Hickman Baker right guard 178
pound frosh from Hnwley. Has nat-
ural ability loves the game. Can
stand plenty improvement but may
develop into good man with exper-
ience. Drake Cathey left guard 100
pounds from San Angelo. His fun-
damentals uro good just a little light
but may fit in good next yenr.
Lanier Gilbert 193 pound freshman
tncklo from Spur. Has plenty weight.
Possibilities to become good player
extra good. His ono fault now Is
playing too high in tho lino and run-
ning tho same.
Travis Green left tackle 100-
pound frosh from Snyder is a good
defensive man. Offense needs im-
provement. David Reeves 100-pound tncklo
from Stamford. Will not be eligible
for freshman or varsity either next
fall. One of tho best tackles on the
lot and will demand plenty of re-
spect when his timo comes. Will
probably see action today.
Jim Anderson 109 pound end Per
ry ton; has bad knee now. Needs
more speed but possesses possibili
ties of a good man; frosh.
J. E. Parker 100 left end from
Ozonn. Will bo a freshman next year.
Is a natural football player big and
nggressive. May develop into ono of
best Cowboy ends; first year man.
Robert Cowan 180 pound blocking
back Pecos. Is n little light just
pretty good and not aggressive
enough to make the grade.
Sam Oatmnn 1C0 pound back from
Pnducnh. Has natural nbility but a
little too over anxious nt present for
best cnpnblc performance. Will mako
a fine runner; frcshmnn.
John Maag 170 pound back Wich-
ita Falls. Tackling is good but
doesn't know assignments. Possibil-
ities arc doubtful and hasn't advanced
as he should have.
Clyde Turner 100 pound center.1
Freshman from Swectwoter. Is best
defensive center on sqund. Little in-
consistent on passing at times but
has great possibilities.
Randall Bridges 188 pound frosh
guard Dallas. Is only fair a little
slow nnd needs more experience.
Edgar Bingham 210 pound tackle.
First year mon from Graham. Just
a big ensy going boy. Willing but
needs to make up mind to play foot-
ball. Scth Good 105 pound tackle Clyde.
Needs to be consistent in his hustling.
Good possibilities but n lot to learn.
Joe Pee 188 pound end frosh Abi-
lene. Has improved lots sinco Inst
season. Is n good hustler and always
trying hard. May go places.
Larry Cunninghnm 181 pound back
from McLean. Has bruised stomach
muscle today and may not sec action.
Possibilities fair.
Kirk McKinnon 172 pound back
from Lamcsa. Should mako a good
runner and ballcarrier is fastest man
on team but needs to learn to fol-
low interference and take advantage
of block. Playing experience may be
all that's necessary.
