THE DOPE: The Mustangs are young and inexperienced for the most part, but they should age rapidly through the first four games, if they live. Coach Woody Woodard had the best defense and the worst offense in the conference in 1955, but his offense will be more exciting and his defense more porous this year. Although only two starters are back, the second-string backfield, which played a good deal, has returned as a unit. Halfbacks Lon Slaughter and Charlie Jackson and Fullback Ray Masters are all strong, slashing runners. If Quarterback Charlie Arnold, the major question mark, should falter, Larry Click, a freshman star of last year, may take over.
