On Ag-UH Game
By JERRY WIZIG
Battalion Sports Editor
“Who tossed the ball into the end zone?” is still the $64
question today after the oh-so-close 10-7 loss to University of
Houston Saturday night.
After the 42,000 fans who filed into Rice stadium caught
their breath, they started arguing about what really happened
in that last minute. Today you can get any version you want,
depending on which team you support.
Aggie coaches said Monday their movies of the game
don’t show the controversial ball-tossing episode. Head
Coach Paul Bryant, with a no-matter-what-happened-we-still-
lost attitude, flatly refused to discuss the incident. . He is
primarily concerned with getting his team “up” for their
•'Southwest conference lid-lift-
the state’s principal crop, and in
grain sorghum, the top grain crop
Also included in the displays are
mechanization methods and strain
improvements in crops, develop
ment of better livestock breeds,
progfeny testing in beef, brush con
trol developments and techniques,
and poultry improvement prac
tices.
Monk Vance of A&M’s Agricul
tural Information office is now in
Dallas with the exhibit.
The Memorial Student Center
Council last night voted to adopt
the proposed changes in the con
stitution which were made neces
sary by the new organization of
the college.
Changes involved were mostly
concerned with changing of the
wording in articles which referred
to the MSC Board, which has been
replaced by the MSC Council, now
directly responsible to the academic
council.
In the brief meeting, Jules
Vieaux reported the film society
took in some $50 more than the
council budget provided and that
the surplus would be used in book
ing additional films.
Wayne Stark, MSC director and
council secretary, said that about
60 tickets had been sold for the
Great Issues series but he hoped
for an eventual total sale of 300
non-student tickets.
The recommendation by Doug
Krueger that the bridge committee
be continued as a committee of the
games group was questioned by
Walker Elected
Club President
Bruce Walker was elected presi
dent of the Hill County club at a
meeting recently in Milner hall.
Other officers are Charles Cy-
pert, vice-president; Charles Ed
wards, secretary; Thomas Shot-
well, treasurer, and Warren Grant,
reporter.
Arts and Sciences
Meets Tuesday
The regular fall meeting of the
School of Arts and Sciences will be
Tuesday, Oct. 19, at 4 p.m. in the
Biological Sciences building.
A faculty panel will discuss the
liberal arts in the college curricu
lum, building the School of Arts
and Sciences as a degree-granting
school and improving coordination
among the departments.
The panel will be composed of
T. W. Leland, Dr. F. E. Jensen,
Dr. C. C. Doak, and Dr. A. F.
Chalk. Dr. Stewart Morgan will
be chairman.
The program was prepared by
the advisory committee, with D. D.
Burchard as chairman.
Parker. He said the committee was
so disorganized last year the coun
cil, after three attempts, was un
able to get a chairman of the com
mittee named. Parker suggested
that concrete plans be submitted
before the committee asks for
council backing.
Parker also announced that the
Region Nine meeting of Student
Unions would be held in Lubbock
on Dec. 3, 4 and 5,.and he hoped
sufficient council and directorate
members planned to attend to give
A<&M good representation at the
conference. The regional meeting,
which includes schools from Okla
homa, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Texas, is an annual
affair in which problems of stu
dent unions are discussed.
The formation of an electronic
committee was recommended by
Parker as a special committee of
the hobby group. Duties of the
new committee would be to handle
fund raising drives to install or
repair record players, television
sets and other related equipment.
It would also make suggestions on
operational procedures of the
equipment and would call attention
of staff to needed repairs.

er with TCU Saturday after
noon at Kyle field.
A&M quarterback Elwood
Kettler, now the SWC leader
in total offense, said Monday it
was a Cougar lineman who threw
the ball into the end zone. Kettler
was backed by a reliable source
who said he was on the 5-yard line
on the sideline and saw the Cougar
toss the football into the air.
Another version Monday had a
Houston player doing the heave-ho,
but termed it accidental, saying
the player thought Kettler’s dive
from the one yard line had run out
the, clock. However, if the Cougar
tossed the ball intentionally, the
clock should have been stopped.
NCAA rules say, “The referee
may order the game clock started
or STOPPED whenever, in his opin
ion, either team is trying to con
serve or CONSUME playing time
by tactics OBVIOUSLY unfair.”
Monday afternoon a sports edi
tor called and said he had seen the
University of Houston game mov
ies and that they showed an A&M
player throwing the ball away.
• That last quarterback sneak of
Kettlei’’s also aroused a lot of pro
test from Aggie fans, who contend
that Kettler jammed his way over
the goal, then was pushed back by
the Houston line. Kettler himself
said he couldn’t tell whether he
was over or not. “There was an
awful big stack of players there,”
he said.
. After it was retrieved, the ball
was put down about six inches from
the goal with about seven seconds
to play. Just as the gun sounded,
Kettler got the ball and was tack
led by a Houston player. Bryant
rushed into the middle of a crowd
of Aggie and Houston players and
fans who poured on to the field
