Seek Third Straight Tomorrow
Cadets after
Over Cougars
BY BOB WEEKLEY
Battalion Sports Editor
The barnstorming Aggies, home
on Kyle Field after three straight
games on foreign soil, try to keep
a two game winning streak alive
Saturday night against the stub
born Houston Cougars.
Houston will be seeking its first
win on Aggie soil, a 14-14 tie being
the closest UH has come to win
ning on the Aggie’s home turf.
They won by a lopsided 39-7 score
last year at Houston, one of the
worst defeats the Farmers have
suffered since 1954 when Texas
Tech walloped the Cadets 41-9.
The Cougars have had their
*
woes this year while A&M has had
their ups and downs, a 20-14 loss
to Tech and wins over Michigan
State and Mississippi Southern.
Powerful Mississippi downed the
Cougars by a 16-0 score in then-
season opener, then Alabama slip
ped past them by a meager 3-0
margin. Their first victory of the
season came over Cincinnati last
week when the Cougars scored
two touchdowns in the final half
and kicked one extra point to win,
13-12.
This eighth meeting will be a
battle of sophomore dominated
squad versus that of battle tried
veterans. The Cougai’s will have
only six lettermen in the starting-
eleven with 15 sophomores figur
ing to see extensive service against
the Aggies.
A&M has ten lettermen on their
stai-ting eleven, with junior Bob
Phillips starting his first season
at right and the Farmers have an
all-letterman backfield starring
Charley Milstead, the Southwest
Conference’s total offense leader.
The Cougars will counter with
Claude King, the senior speedster
from Vicksburg, Mississippi. The
University of Houston’s fullbacks,
Pete Burks and Charlie Rieves,
have yet to be thrown for a loss
this season.
A&M will enter the Cougar con
test at full strength, with no
starter expected to be out of
the game with injuries. Mil-
stead threw a scare into the Ca
det coaching staff earlier this
week when he received a shoulder
injury, but it proved to be only
slight.
Milstead will quarterback the
Aggies with Jon Few running at
left half and Robert Sanders at
right. Gordon LeBouef is expect
ed to get the starting fullback
nod.
Vetei’an Don McDonald is due
to open at quarterback for Hous
ton with Lonnie Holland directing
the second unit. The remainder of
the starting backfield will have
King at left half, Jim Kuehne at
fullback and leading ground gain
er Burks at right half.
Holland threw the touchdown
pass against Cincinnati in the
final quarter to win the game. The
pass was to Erroll “The Peril”
Lindsey, who made three clutch
receptions that day.
Game time is 8 p.m.
