| - AN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct 19--Io-
days games between the Texas
~ university and Oklahoma univers-
ity and the A. 6, NJ college and Arkan-
sas university were such that it shows
al four teams to rank high in ex-
/ ce1ent football material and to fore
shadow a season in the southwest
which viii be hard fought.
While the veterans of the game
were missed yet the youngsters are
doing work which will eventually win
them laurels.
The boys are taking readily to the
changes in the rules and the coaches
I have done splendid work.
Old Coaches at Work.
Charlie Moran is the dean of Texas
coaches and he has been in harness
at A. & NJ but three years, this sea
son maxim his fourth. Glaze is at
Baylor for his third season Allerdice
is at Texas for his second year This
viii be Chester JOhnstOn's third sea-
son in the state. Aubrey Alexander
is at Poly for his second year. And
che other four coaches are all making
their debut this season.
Aside from the changes furnished
by the new code, the football season
in Texas this year viii exhibit a wide
are drawn from many different
schools. There may be similarity
in the styles developed by Texas T.
G. u and Daniel Baker, as their
pilots hail from Michigan and Wander
bIt whose methods are very similar.
There are two MissOurians, McGinnis
and Alexander, but from all indica-
tons they entertain different theories.
The A. & H. coach is the product Of
the old southern school while Glaze
comes from the east. Austin college
and Trinity both have middle western
tutors. With these influences from
many directions varying styles Of at
tack and defence will be developed.
Texas Uses Same System.
The champion LOnghOrnS OF 1911 re-
turn with the same coaching system
that succeeded last year. Dave Aller-
dice the old Michigan star halfback
is the head coach Allerdice came to
Texas in 1911 to succeed WaStmuhnd
his former teammate. He made good
from the start. AIerdice was a well
come figure in state athletics last
season. He has only recently taken
charge of the team, having undergone
an operation for appendicitis at the
time he was expected to report at the
San Saba camp.
Garlic Moran developer of two state
championship teams and of one run
nerUp, returns to head the farmers
again. Moran Is not only the dean OF
Texas pilots but the oldest in point of
service and the only athletic head in
the state who has coached other col
leglare institutions before coming 10
Texas. Moran was a member of the
famous Massilon Tigers whose insig-
MIA he wears on the farmer battle
fields. He has been uniformly sue
cessful with his teams at College Sta
tiOn where he has always been highly
regarded.
a. & NJ. & Loses De Tray.
A. & NJ lost De Tray this season, |
the former Maroon star succeeding
Nathan p Stauffer at Mississippi. To
succeed De Tray as assistant coach
however the farmers have secured
Joe Utay of Dallas, the graduate
manager, whose services are VOluu-
tary. He is not new to the game
however, as he has trained prepare
tory elevens at Dallas and sent sew
eral crack players from his school to
A. & NJ.
It is probable that 8IcNuIty. who
evere since Moran Joined the farmer
forces, has helped coach the line, viii
give the aSricUlturists the advantage
of his knowledge of line formations
again.
At Baylor the new season finds
Ralph Glaze in charge again. Glaze [
has proved his ability to choose |
players by his all-state selections for !
the past two seasons. In one case, !
his selection was the same as the
composite of all selections, and in
the other he missed it by but one man. !
Glaze AII-American Star.
Glaze is an old all-American and a !
Dartmouth star like Rix- He came TO !
Baylor in the spring of 1910. and that I
fail gave the Baptists the best team
