to stop “any Negroes from moving
in.”
There was no trouble as the St.

ly changed the day before to keep
the Floods out.
Seven white neighbors led by
Mrs. Joseph Cone told the Floods
they were happy to have a base
ball star and his family in the
neighborhood. Some had telephoned
the Floods earlier offering help
and baby sitting services.
The Floods, after taking posses
sion of their home, chatted with
neighbors but didn’t stay the night.
The gas and electricity hadn’t been
turned on and their furniture still
was en route.
“We’ll be in in a couple of days,’
Flood said.
As for George Finn, Robert Con

he’s in Nevada.”
Condon did not elaborate There
had been vague reports that Finn
was in the neighborhood. He lives
on the San Francisco peninsula, 50
miles away across San Francisco
Bay.
Flood’s suit asserted Finn and
another man, armed with shotguns,
parked his car across the home
driveway and stood guard.

An Example Of Baylor’s Sticky Pass Defense?
Aggie end John Brotherton is shown catch- the ball on the Bear 11-yard line. Defensive
ing a nine-yard pass from Eddie McKaughan pressure is being applied by Bobby Maples
against Baylor Saturday. The play came (88) and Jerry Ives (55). Looking on are
with 2:14 left in the fourth quarter and put Robert Christian (25) and James Rust (88).
Quarterback Charles LaGrange
came off the redshirt list because
of necessity last Saturday in the
Baylor game. On the play before
Jim Stabler scored A&M’s first
touchdown, Aggie quarterback
Eddie McKaughan was shaken up
when hit by Jerry Ives and Bob
by Maples . . . So, the next time
A&M got possession LaGrange
was sent into quarterback, for the
first time this year . . .
The Aggies held Baylor to 98
yards on the ground with two of
their defensive starters out of ac
tion. Guard Ronney Moore was
kept out of all action so that a
hurt knee would heal in time for
the Arkansas game. Tackle Ray
Gene Hinze, who was nursing an
infected hand, saw limited duty
very late in the game . . . Both
are expected to be at full strength
for the Arkansas game this week.

FROM THE

ineA
By LAN I PRESS WOOD
Aggie Coach Hank Foldberg was in a pensive mood at
his weekly press conference Tuesday as he discussed A&M’s
fast-approaching ball game with Arkansas.
“There’s no question about it, Arkansas has a fine foot
ball team,” said the Cadet taskmaster. “They’ll serve as a
real test for us. They are a particularly outstanding defensive
club.”
Someone asked him about individual Razorback stars
and quarterback Fred Marshall’s name was the immediate
reply.
“Marshall is the key to their offense and will probably
be the key to the game Saturday. Their offense is designed to
keep rival defense off balance. They have excellent line quick
ness and real good backfield speed.
“This Lindsey is really something in their backfield and
Jerry Lamb is in Elkins’ class as a receiver.”
Conversation then turned to the Baylor game and Fold
berg responded with a rueful smile.
“Take away Laurence’s interception and then look at the
score. It seems like one screwball play has come up in nearly
every game.
“The Baylor game has to rank with the LSU one as our
two best overall performances.
“Our linebackers played well, I thought. So did Ermis,
West and Caffey on defense. Pyburn and Kirchmer were
opening up some good holes at times.
“That fourth quarter drive after we got behind was the
first time that’s happened since I’ve been at A&M. It was
very heatening to see them move the ball like that with so
little time left.
“Our sophomores are more experienced now and are begin
ning to play like juniors. We have faith in their ability and
think that they are beginning to come.”
The ruggedly built mentor then turned to a window and
prophesied that “some heavy stuff is probably on the way.
We’ll practice outdoors today though, regardless of the weath
er. This is our heavy day in preparation for Saturday.
Everyone was silent for a moment, as the thought of a
practice field scene high in the Ozarks came to mind.

Baylor’s Elkins Has Praise
For Maroon Pass Defense
By AL WARD
SWC Information Director
(Ed.’s note: The following is
an interview of Baylor flanker
Lawrence Elkins conducted by
the Southwest Conference Infor
mation Director.)
Q. How does Terry Southall rate
with Don Trull as a thrower?
A. I think real well. It’s just
experience mostly. Last year at
this time Trull had about three
more years experience.
Q. Do they throw basically the
same type pass ?
A. I think Don’s passes came to
me softer. They might have looked
like hard passes from the stands,
but he floated them in with the
nose up.
Q. Well, Coach Purvis drills all
his passers on throwing a nose-up
pass. Doesn’t Southall throw one?
A. The nose is up, all right, but
not as much as Trull’s. It’ll come
in time. You see, Terry’s a strong
er boy than Trull was. He can
bench press 290 pounds, which is
about twice as much as I can. He
puts a lot of RPMs on the ball.
Q. Everybody agreed that one
thing that made Trull great was he
had such a quick throwing action.
Southall’s not as quick, is he?
A. You mean releasing the ball?
Yes sir, I think he is. He can whip
his arm like a snake with almost
no windup. I know you watch our
films and Terry’s arm’s just a blur.
Q. How about the rapport, the
understanding, they always talk
about between a passer and a re
ceiver. Like you and Trull had.
You couldn’t have this with South-
all ?
A. No sir, we haven’t worked
together long enough. But we’re
getting it. 'Course, Trull had an
uncanny way of reading where I
was going when I had to break a
pattern.
Q. You say Southall is ’getting’
this. In what way?
A. Well, it’s my fault some. I’m
seeing so much double coverage
that I have to break a pattern to
get open. Earlier this year, I prob
ably caused a couple of intercep
tions because we didn’t understand
each other. But against A&M last
week, I only caught three balls on
regular patterns. The other four,
I broke the pattern, he hit me.
Q. Has he done this with the
pressure on?
A. Yes sir, against A&M. I was
supposed to run an inside pattern
and they had it covered, so I broke
it and went outside. I just gambled
Terry’d pick it up and he hit me
for about 15 yards to the one. That
set up our winning touchdown.
Q. If Trull were playing this
year, would you have caught more
than 25?
A. I wonder. I’m seeing so much
double coverage this year and the
defensive backs are a lot better. I
don’t know if it’s platoon ball or
not, but you'd be surprised how
improved they are. Mike Pitman
of A&M, now. He tackled well and
he can stick with you. I guess oth
er teams worked harder on pass
defense or something.
Q. A&M doubled you long and
short all during the game. Did this
leave you any area?
A. About all I could do was run
a slant-in over the middle in front
of the first man or go deep and
try to outrun ’em both.
