The two sophomore-studded clubs have claimed the scoreboard only once in 13 outings between them this fall. The lone triumph was SMU’s 14-0 decision over Ar lington State. The game will highlight the Aggie Corps Trip to Big D. The Cadets will parade in downtown Dallas Saturday morning. The Aggie Band will be on hand to perform at halftime. This contest marks the third meeting of rival coaches Hank Foldberg and Hayden Fry. They split the first two games, with field goals being the decisive fac tor in each. Last year’s encounter saw the Ags score the first time they had possession of the ball and hold the lead for 59 minutes. The Ponies pulled the game out of the fire in the last 36 seconds on a 17-yard field goal by Dan Richey. Field goals are unlikely to play such a large role in this tilt, how ever. SMU has yet to boot one this season while the Cadets have only been successful a single time, in the Baylor clash. SMU’s misfortunes started be fore the season even began.

Miami was placed on probation for one year and barred from par- cipation in the NCAA basketball lurnament and other Major tour- ments cooperating with the CAA. Navy received a one-year pro bation with no additional penalties. The NCAA found that a represent ative outside the Naval Academy had paid for the transportation of four players from the Norfolk, Va., area to the 1964 Cotton Bowl game at Dallas. The individual reported ly had asked a Navy assistant coach if the trip was permissible and the assistant, after checking with higher academy sources, had incorrectly given the go-ahead. Western State was reprimanded and censured because it gave a wrestler a grant of tuition and fees after he already had a job. The combination of income gave the athlete more than was considered normal educational expenses at the school. The NCAA restored full rights and privileges to Dayton Univer sity which has completed two years on probation for a basketball re cruiting violation. Ponies with a probation rap for recruiting violations. The chain of ill fortune con tinued. Ace flanker John Roder ick, SWC sprint king, was de clared scholastically ineligible. Starting quarterback Mac White slipped a disc and hasn’t suited up for a game this year. Two other performers tabbed for start ing duty, tackle Buddy Miller and tailback Larry Jernigan, have al so disappeared from the picture. The Pony bright spots this fall have been their stingy defense and superior punting. The Dal- lasites rank close behind Texas and Arkansas in total defense. They have allowed fewer first downs than anyone in the league. The two leading punters in the circuit both wear SMU red. Vet eran Danny Thomas leads with a 40.6 average. Newcomer Corky Terry is less than half a yard behind. SMU’s inability to move the ball consistently has plagued them all season. They have only tallied six points in their three conference games to date. They appeared to find a possi ble spark against the Texas Long horns last Saturday. They gar nered more first downs than the Steers and Thomas completed 13 of 22 passes from his quarterback spot. Seven sophs log time on the Pony offensive unit. Three are in the backfield with Thomas. On defense, two other sopho mores have been drawing raves. Nose guard John LaGrone is a likely choice for SWC rookie- lineman-of-the-year honors. Line backer Billy Bob Stewart has also provided yeoman service. Foldberg calls the Ponies, “a good team, despite their record. They have been in a lot of close ones like we have. They are a sound defensive club and have real fine speed. It’s hard to pre pare a crew for them because they use such a variety of forma tions.” On the other side of the ledger, Fry says, “Ever since I’ve been at SMU, A&M has hit us as hard as any team we’ve played.” The Cadets will try to rebound from a 17-0 setback inflicted on them last week by the high-flying Arkansas Razorbacks. Foldberg will likely start the same gridmen he did against the Hogs. The playing status of quarterback Dan Mcllhany and end John Brotherton is indefinite. Eddie McKaughan will be the starting signal-caller and will team with six other sophomores on offense. One of the six is swift Lloyd Curington, who carried the ball 18 times against Arkansas. The Aggies will be playing be fore another Homecoming crowd Saturday. Around 35,000 are ex pected for the 2 p.m. kickoff.
