.or and Texas A.&M.
The Texas Aggies won the
championship last year but were
barred from playing in any bowl
because of alleged excessive re-
cruiting. But this year they are
pure and rate a good chance of
repeating last year's performance.
Strong Backfield ,
Offensively the .Aggies are
stronger with three qualified men
filling the Vital quarterback posi-
tion. Their halfbacks are rated
tops in the Conference.
Only one problem confronts
Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant. He
must find new -nen to fill the
middle of the line where gradu-
ation removed three regulars.
Baylor, on the other hand, has
much of the same line returning
that lead the Bears to an upset
win over Tennessee last year in
the Sugar Bowl.

Texas Christian, which has
been 1-2 in the conference these
past two years, has been hard hit
by graduation. Coach Abe Martin
must rebuild from the bottom, but
a promising group of sophomores
makes TCU dangerous.
Texas has a new coach, the old
Oklahoma quarterback, Darrel
Royal, and he has installed the
hurry-up-style split T.
In addition, 'the Longhorns lost
no one of importance from last
year and another good group of
sophomores could help Texas pull
many surprises.
Powerful Passing Attack
Rice, which has finished poorly
in recent years, may be dangerous
if it can combine an efficient
running game with what should
be the most powerful passing at-
tack in the conference.
Another team whose major
problem is the line is Arkansas.
Possessing lone 3f the fastest run-
ning attacks in the Southwest,
the Razorbacks should be con-
sidered the most likely dark horse
in the conference,
Thereis a new coach at South-
ern Methodist. He is Bill Meek,
the man who steered Houston to
the Missouri Valley Championship
last year.
His main task will be to re-
build a team that lost five regu-
lars from the line..
Texas Tech, which was admit-
ted_, to the conference just last'
year, will not'compete for the
SWC title until 1960.
We have heard them say they
traveled 'round the world and '
could not get a haircut so

AWheel of Activty
The office of Earl Riskey is a busy place.
, From that room come the plans and directions that each year
fashion the most extensive intramural programs in the dountry.
During the coming school year over 10,000 male students will parti-
cipate in 36 different I-M sports at Michigan.
Looking at the picture objectively, one would have to ask -"
does Riskey manage to run this show?" The keyword - organization.
Once the I-M schedule gets underway, with the many different
sports in full swing, Riskey's highly mechanized program would put
a six-ring circus to shame.
Officially, the whole thing got underway Wednesday night, when
the intramural managers from all of the teams in the different divi-
sions met to plan the fall program. Actually, however, Riskey and
his assistant, Rod Grambeau, have put in a lot of time beforehand,
getting prospective schedules ready.
The wheels of organization began to move as soon as the meet-
ings started Wednesday night. The major project for the fall is
touch football. In each of the meetings the number of teams that will
be entered had to be determined.
In residence hall and social fraternity play there are both A and
B squads, depending on how many boys want to participate. In the
independent and professional fraternity leagues the number of en-
tries is always a question until the meetings, since there is not a di-
rect carry-over as in the other two divisions.
Once the number of teams is determined, the prospective sched-
ules designed by Riskey and Grambeau can be filled. Residence halls
play on Monday, social fraternity games on Tuesday and Wednesday,
professional fraternities on Thursday, and independents on Friday.
In each division the teams are divided in four-team leagues for
the season. Later the teams will enter a series of playoffs to decide
the division championships.
Riskey explains that the secret of his organization is the farming
out of responsibilit yto other men in the I-M department.. Aside
from himself and Grambeau, there are six teaching fellows who
handle the different divisions.
From the Hub, Many Spokes .
The six are all graduate students in physical education, and
they each accept the responsibilities of scheduling and notification
in their respective leagues.
The assistants and their assignments are as follows: Cliff Sior-
gren, faculty; Dan Wardrop, independents; Jim Clark, social frater-
nity; Lynn Doherty, professional fraternity; George Ho p er, field
supervisor in charge of officials; Howard Poppe, all camps, co-rec-
reational and international center.
The names of some of these men should ring a bell with Michi-
gan sports followers. Clark was a top ranking pitcher on Michigan's
baseball nine the past few seasons, and Doherty is one of Don Can-
ham's assistant track coaches.
The organization of the residence hall leagues, and the general
coordination of the whole program fails on Grambeau's shoulders, and
he is then directly responsible' to Riskey.
Once the program is ready to roll, there are many details that
must be looked to. For one, touch football Is a sport that demailids
officials. Student officials are used, and have proved very competent
in the past. Field supervisor Hopper has two seniors and three juniors
in line to head the band of referees for this fall.
Aside from their regular duties as referees of the games, Riskey
gives the responsibility of choosing the I-M all-star teams to the
officials. The main reason for this is that they are the only people
who observe all of the games played under the I-M system.
Guide Many Sports.. .
Touch football, being the most popular sport during the fall, will
be the first to begin. The first games on the schedule are for net
week. Riskey wants to remind all expectant participants that they'
must have filled out a health card before they will be permitted to
play. Cards can be obtained at the I-M office or from your I-M ath-
letic manager.
, The only major rules change in touch football this, fall is that
players will be permitted to wear regulation football shoes. No othet
spiked shoes will be allowed, however.
Because of the huge campus enrollment, Riskey feels that he isn't
able to reach all of the male students successfully at this early stage
in the semester. Each year there are aroun 16 teams in the indepen-
dent league. Riskey believes that there are probably many more men
on campus who would like to take part in the touch' football pro-
gram, but who don't sign up on time, or who don't have a team to
play on.
He emphasizes the fact that any men who want to play in the
independent league should come to the I-M Building and make known
the fact. They will beplaced on a team, and new teams will be added
to the present independent league. This goes for faculty members;
too. Groups from the bacteriology and chemistry departments are
already signed up.
The Co-Recreational Program will start on Friday, October 11.
This is an activity that is quickly gaining popularity on the I-M
front.
A busy man, and a busy program. a
