Cashion, the team’s star passer, is an old Texas A & M follower, having been born on the Aggie campus. Hurricane Coach Eddie Dunn will start Gus Dielens in place of Chick Angelus. Angelus has a broken thumb on his passing hand. Bob Harrell will replace Bob Wylie at quarterback. Wylie’s ailing knee has not responded to treatment. Other backfield starters will be Glenn Barrington at fullback and Gene Hancock at right half.
