Pokes To Battle
Oklahoma Aggies
Today marks the opening of the
football season for the 1953 ver-
sion of the Cowboys and the ini-
tial start should be quite a bat-
tle. The opposition for the after-
noon battle to be broadcast over
-local station KWKC at 1:30 is
one of the top teams in the coun-
try Oklahoma A&M.
The Aggies have been ranked
as high as 14th in the national
grid picture by Paul Williamson
while failing to place in the top
30 in Colliers and with the Asso-
ciated Press.
Little is known about the team
and its personnel with the excep-
tion of staements that the Aggies
are "much improved." The pub-
licity on the Oklahoma Cowpokes
call the team the most experienc-
ed since the days of Bob Fene-
more and the Sugar Bowl team
of 1945 with 20 lettermen return-
ing and a squad of 50 including
last year's freshmen who were
undefeated in five games.
Probable starters for Coach J.
B. Whitworth's crew will be Don
Babers and Bob LaRue ends;
Bill Howerton and Leland Ken-
dall tackles; Bud Godsoe and
John Payne guards; Ben Davis
center; Bill Breddle Don Bussey
Dorsey Gibson and Bob Green
backs.

End D. C. Andrews Is
Ail-American Candidate
Hardin-Simmons may come up
with its first Ail-American since
the days of Bulldog Turner.
D. C. Adrews senior end from
Sweetwater who was named to
both the offensive and defensive
AH-Border Conference teams last
year is rated as one of the finest
ends in the country.
Andrews has already been pick-
ed for five all-southwest teams
in the pre-season balloting re-
ported in national magazines. Be-
sides the annual football roundup
publications Colliers and Satur
day Evening Post have mentioned
Andrews as a top prospect.
The shift to one-platoon foot-
ball fits D. C. to a "T" since he
played all but four minutes of
the entire season last year.
He caught 36 passes for 497
yards and nine touchdowns last
year and was outstanding as a
blocker and defensive player.
Andrews ranked 19th in the na-
tion last year as a pass receiver.
This season heavier and more
experienced Andrews should be
at his peak. The Cowboy schedule
is one of the toughest in history
with Rice Tulsa and Oklahoma
A&M ranked among the best
teams in the nation in the pre-
season polls.
This gives D. C. a chance to
