The Aggies haven’t beaten LSU since 1956 and took a 21-0 drubbing from the Tigers last season. A CAPACITY crowd of 67,500 is expected to turn out to see what the youngest team in years at Louisiana State has to offer. Texas Tech opens the season Saturday night at Lubbock against Washington State, aiming at stopping that ace passer, Dave Mathieson, who has Coach J. T. King scared just thinking about him. Tech also will be turning loose what may be the greatest potential sophomore star in league history in Donny Anderson. Anderson has gotten most of the publicity as the confer’ence moved into its 49th season. He does everything except sell the pea nuts—or that’s what they expect of him on the basis of a sensa tional freshman showing. A CROWD of 30,000 will look over a Tech team already relegated to last place in the conference. The Techs won only one game all last season. Arkansas meets Oklahoma State at Little Rock Saturday night with 41,000 due to be in the stands. The Razorbacks are conference favorites and loaded with exper ienced men. They claim, however, that it isn’t on offense where the stars are abundant. Oklahoma State, not a veteran outfit by any means, will have more pi-oven backs. LAST YEAR the league won three of the four games, the only loss being A&M’s defeat by Louisi ana State. Texas Christian upset Kansas 6-3, Texas smashed Tulane and Arkansas trimmed Oklahoma State. Texas Tech and Washington State are playing for the first time. Saturday night’s Texas Chris- tian-Kansas game should answer the big question the first erapk out of the box—has TCU got the quarterback needed to get its ex perience-deep squad moving? The Frogs have only one man with experience at the post and that experience came two years ago.

Boston Wants Braves Back, Sends Invitation To McHale BOSTON CP) — Boston Mayor John F. Collins extended an invi tation to the Milwaukee Braves’ baseball team Thursday night to return to its original home. The invitation was offered in a letter from the mayor to Braves President John McHale in Mil waukee. The Braves have been gone from Boston for 10 years. Rumors have been common lately that the Braves might move from the Wis consin city. ( McHale has admitted offers from several cities have been made and added that neither these of fers nor a decision to remain in Milwaukee has yet been consid ered by the club’s board of di rectors. Mayor Collins said in his letter to McHale: “The Braves belong in Boston, where the club was founded as a pioneer in big league baseball, long before the turn of the cen tury. “I am confident that suitable arrangements can be worked out for park facilities.” By JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor “The time has come, the wal rus said, to talk of many things, “Of marching bands and yel ling crowds and footballs.” Or something like that. At any rate, the moment of truth will come Saturday night for the 1963 Aggie football team when they open the season against the Louisiana State Tigers. A sellout crowd of 67,500 wdll be on hand in Baton Rouge for the 8 p.m. kickoff in this 27th meet ing between the two schools. The Bengals hold a 13-11-2 edge in the series having taken the last three games. LSU won last year’s tilt 21-0. * This year’s contest promises to be low-scoring wdth both teams featuring hefty line and question able offense. THE CADETS, always tough on defense, will average 227 on the line while the Cajuns check in at 217. A&M will sacrifice a little in the backfield with a 181 average to LSU’s 194. Aggie Coach Hank Foldberg hopes to have solved his quarter back dilemma with Jim Linnstaedt- er calling signals. The senior from Brenham was all-American in high school but spent the last two sea sons as a halfback. Linnstaedter has performed well in practice and will be a dangerous threat passing or running. His showing against LSU will be a good in dication of the Cadets’ future. LSU’s offensive problems stem from the new substitution rule that wiped out the Tigers’ three platoon system. Due to their previous specialization, only one returning backfield man has any experience “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars” 1422 Texts Ave. TA 2-4517 on offense. The Bengals’ chances against the Aggies depend on how well their defensive backs have learned to carry the ball. TIGER COACH Charlie * Mc Clendon also had the misfortune of having his No. 1 quarterback, Dwight Robinson, break a wrist in pre-season practice. Consequent ly, LSU will have to depend on a sophomore, Pat Screen, to guide the team. A&M’s starting lineup has four juniors and seven seniors. LSU will open with' six seniors, three juniors and two sophomores, both in The backfield. LSU has been given a nine-point edge over the Cadets by the odds- makers, but veteran observers feel the game will be much closer. Many think it could go either way. THIS SERIES has produced many one-sided scores. A&M won the opener back in 1899, 52-0. In 1914 the Cadets won 63-9, and in 1922 A&M won 47-0, LSU’s widest margin came in 1949 when the Tigers won 34-0. Close games have been the rule in recent years. A&M’s last win was a 9-6 verdict in 1956. LSU won 14-13 in 1948 and 6-0 in 1921. The Farmers won 11-5 in 1907 and 7-0 in 1944. Ties were played in 1913, 7-7 and 1920, 0-0.
