PARSLEY GREEN TOP HOPES Bear Spring Drills to Center On Hunt for Tackle Help By DAVE CAMPBELL ON SECOND THOUGHT By DAVE CAMPBELL Tribune Herald Sports Editor Only the stout of heartthose free of all superstitions need apply for the right tackle job at Baylor University almost afraid to assign anybody there admitted coach George Sauer Saturday as he contemplated the future and sadly reviewed the past vears ago we had Robert Knowles and Clyde Letbetter at right tackle Knowles missed the last half of the season with a wrenched knee and Letbetter was called into military service year we had Bill Green and Dave Lunceford Green twisted a knee after the Washington game and had to have an operation and Lunceford busted out leaves us back where we account points up the run of bad luck Baylor has been having at the vital tackle posi tions since the return to one pla toon football In addition to the troubles mentioned above left tackle James Ray Smith in 1953 missed the Houston game because of injuries and last season missed three contests because of ailments With normal luck Baylor would have Lunceford Green and Let better back for 1955 warfare Each would be a senior presumably at the peak of effectiveness Instead only Green is on the scene and he still must test a knee repaired by a December operation Centers May Be It may be that converted cen ters will ultimately provide the answer to the tackle problems Sauer already has announced Bill Glass top pivot man in the late stages of the 1S54 campaign will switch to tackle for at least the spring session If Waco High product Lee Har rington develops as expected at center big and talented Iarry Cowart may also g' to tackle Cowart a San Antonio product excellent as a Cub last fall Harrington is rated highly be cause of his offensive talents and his tremendous desire Harrington we have had a chance in the Rice says frosh coach Bob Barfield In 1947 Texas University faced a similar problem at tackle and used' a similar approach Dick Harris for two years all conference at cen ter moved over to tackle and Tackle Solution maintained his all star ranking there In 1918 he moved back to the pivot spot and won all confer ence and AU Amcrica recognition Center Jim Taylor and guard Dan Miller disciplined before the Gator Bowl contest for training violations will participate in the spring drills Taylor figures to be the starting center next fall provided Glass stays at tackle NIilljr is recog nized as a ranking candidate for the starting right guard position Miller and Taylor will remain on probation until the end of the pres ent school year Sauer recently wanted us grid dors that training rule violations of any kind in the future will mean instant dismissal from 1he squad and forfeiture of athletic scholar ship No explanations need be of fered Weldon Holley Weldon Holley will provide in surance for the Bears at all three of the deep positions in the back field next season An accomplished defensive man good pass receiver and runner he will learn the assignments tor both right and left halfback and full back With Holley looming as the fifth man in the backfield plugging the dikes where needed the 1955

JoeyAllen are considered top contributions from the 195 4 Cub eleven Peters was a fullback in 1954 A swift powerful runner he only defensive improvement to be come a standout Allen is smaller trickier just as fast He too must improve on defense Pelton's forte is defense' He could become the best guard on Insurance Man the team Of all the newcomers he may have the best chance of winning a starling berth in 1955 Anderson'' best end in the frosh circuit is being touted as another Stan Williams Only Henry Grcm minger stands between Anderson and a starting role now but that of course is stiff competition Doyle Traylor eliminated from 1954 competition even before the season began declares his injured shoulder has completely mended Next to lackle Sauer considers the quarterback position as Bay top headache Traylor still must prove he is physically equipped for the tough wear and tear of the conference grind Robby Jones soph sensation of lat it Sep tember must learn to throw the short pass must improve his ball handling and foot work and must polish' his defensive skills before he can expect regular use All the other quarterback candidates arc sophs to be untested and inexperi enced Tribune Herald Sports Editor One football sage once declared that a team is onlv as strong as its tackles and the observation is one that points up all too clearly the major problem facing head

letterman on hand He is junior to be Bill Parsley Bill Green a regular for half of the 1954 season returns for his final year next fall and could be come a standout However he suf fered a knee injury just before the A and game and has since undergone surgery Thus he be comes a question mark until all out scrimmages test the soundness of his repaired knee Sauer eager to get sessions un derway moved Saturday to get his staff begins work with only one giant from Corpus Christi will re turn to the No 1 pivot post Nine More Hopes In addition Io Parsley Green and Glass Sauer will have at least nine other candidates to look over One is squadman Jim Miller The other eight all sophs in athletic eligibility include Charley Brad shaw Robert Prigmore red Brit ton Jim Pate Gus Hicks Charley reconstruction work in motion He announced that first string center Bill Glass will be moved to tackle for the start of spring drills If Glass can make the switch without pause 'he will re tain that
