Rice
Jess Neely, dean of the South
west Conference coaches, opens
his 26th campaign at Rice with
only 15 lettermen back and a dis
mal outlook for 1965.
Rice’s fortunes lie in the hands
of such proven performers as
center Craig Christopher, Chuck
Latourette and Gene Walker, and
will probably feature a challeng
ing defense.
Offensive power is lacking for
the Owls until they can find a
quarterback, but Jess Neely has
finished in the second division
only six times in 25 years.
The Owls will not only bid for
the SWC title, they will also be
after an unofficial championship
of Louisiana. They meet Louisi
ana Tech Saturday and LSU the
following week.

TCU
TCU is probably one of the
league’s biggest puzzles. The
Frogs could be better, they could
be worse.
Lack of backfield speed points
to a poor season; good defense
and SWC’s top end Sonny Camp
bell point to a good season. Ex
perts pick them anywhere from
fourth to eighth.
But Abe Martin seemed opti
mistic when he greeted 75 can
didates for opening drills, in
cluding 19 lettermen, so he at
least is thinking in terms of im
proving last year’s 4-6 slate.
For this improvement to occur,
however, the Horned Toads must
find some good sophomores to
replace 19 departed lettermen and
provide the much-needed depth
that this year’s substitution rule
will necessitate.

SMU
Hard-luck SMU just hopes to
keep healthy this year. If they do,
they could make trouble.
Plagued by injuries all last
season, the Ponies complied a 1-9
record under Hayden Fry and
were SWC cellar-dwellers.
Thirty-one lettermen reported
on opening day as the Mustangs
opened their drive to rebuild
football fortunes. Unlike most
SWC schools this year, SMU has
proven quarterbacks — two of
them — to pave the way for a
winning season.
Mac White and Donnie Oefin-
ger provide quality quarterback
ing and speed merchant John
Roderick returns this year with
satisfactory grades, after spend
ing last season with his head in
books insead of games.
Sophomore Jim Hagle could
add even more talent to the
backfield as the Ponies swing in
to action Saturday against Mi
ami.

Texas Tech
J. T. King’s recovery program
at Texas Tech produced a bowl
participant as a reward for his
fourth season at the helm, losing
to Georgia in the Sun Bowl 7-0
for a 6-4-1 overall season record.
Tech has the best back in the
SWC in all-America Donny An
derson, and King hopes to keep
the foes from concentrating their
defenses toward Anderson —
which is unlikely.
Tech plans to use a split end
in a modified I formation in an
attempt to spread the defense.
Twenty-seven of 43 lettermen
return, including 12 starters.
Three - fourths of the Raiders’
conference-leading backfield re
turn, with quarterback Tom Wil
son and Johnny Agan.
With a powerful offense and
seven home games, Tech could
prove to be a definite power.
They open the season Sept. 18
against Kansas.

Baylor
John Bridgers has achieved the
third best record in the South
west Conference during his six-
season stay at Baylor, and his
team appears third best again
this year.
The Bears had 19 lettermen
and 10 returning starters among
85 candidates reported reporting
opening day.
Passing will again be empha
sized featuring Terry Southall,
junior wonderboy, and several ex
ceptional receivers despite loss
of Lawrence Elkins from last
year’s club.
Running, a weakness in the
Baylor attack in recent seasons,
could be improved through great
er size and depth.
Baylor gets off to a fast start,
meeting Auburn Saturday, fol
lowed by Washington, Florida
and Arkansas in that order.
If the Bruins get by those four
unscratched, watch out!
1965 BAYLOR SCHEDULE

Texas
Darrell Royal begins his ninth
year at the University of Texas
with the nation’s second best
won-lost-tied record (69-15-3) for
an eight-season span.
Sixteen lettermen and 10 start
ers are among 84 Longhorns try
ing out for the team expected to
wage a two-way battle with Ark
ansas for the Southwest Confer
ence crown.
Texas likely will use more two-
way players than its rivals, with
all-America Tom Nobis and end
Pete Lammons heading a list of
double - duty performers. Only
Nobis of five 1964 TU all-stars
returns, but seven of the 10 who
logged most playing time from
tackle to tackle will be back.
The ’Horns will run basically
from a winged-T with line bal
anced and “flip-flopping” along
with halfbacks.
Texas opens the season against
Tulane in New Orleans Friday.

Arkansas
It wasn’t ever quite official,
but Arkansas fans will quickly
tell you who the 1964 National
Champion was.
Rolling to an 11-0 record in
cluding a Cotton Bowl victory,
the Razorbacks took the SWC
title by the thinnest of margins-
a 14-13 win over Texas.
Twenty-seven lettermen re
member that Austin triumph, and
they will be out to repeat the
performance in their own back
yard Oct. 16.
Tackle Glen Ray Hines anil
wingback Jim Lindsey are the
primary figures in the Hogs'
drive for a second straight cham
pionship. Hines is backed up by
some able tackles and backfield
strength is added by tailback
Bobby Burnett.
Quarterback is the big question
mark, but Arkansas coach Frank
Broyles is working on the prob
lem and figures to have the situ
ation in hand by Saturday’s open
er with Oklahoma State.

Statement of Purpose for the Campus
Ministry at Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University is concerned with the total develop
ment of its students. The encouragement of spiritual growth
is highly important in this program of total development for
those who come here seeking an education.
There are many faiths represented among the students,
faculty and staff member who comprise the University commu
nity. Our campus ministry is called upon to stimulate spiritual
growth among the members of the University community as
they search for more meaningful direction in their lives, accord
ing to their particular faiths. This task is accomplished
through various types of worship, programming, and personal
counseling, which we know as the campus ministry.
In a spirit of close harmony, the campus ministry assists
the University in its educational program by helping members
of the various faiths represented to become more sensitive to
their responsibilities in the economic, political and social world.
In so doing, the campus ministry performs the vital duty of
demonstrating the close relationship between religious faith
and worthy citizenship.
A program such as this requires continuous communica
tion between the various faiths represented and the University.
Effective communication assures each student the opportunity
to hold fast to his faith while studying here, thus laying
groundwork for continued spiritual growth in the years to
follow.
