A&M Consolidated Tackles Caldwell Friday Night
By BOB JONES
A&M Consolidated’s Tigers
have been mending their ways as
well as their injuries this past
week after receiving a 28-7
pasting from Beaumont’s Forest
Park.
Head Coach Edsel Jones’ Ben-
gals will be shy of four starters
in this week’s contest with Cald
well. The Tigers will host the
Hornets on Bryan’s Bronco Field
this Friday. Consolidated’s new
bleachers are not completely in- his problem resulted from a foot-
stalled.
Fullback Paul Becker and back
Fred Davis are both doubtful
starters. They are sidelined with
recurring knee injuries. Duke
Miller, 10-AAA all-district end
in 1964, is suffering from two
bum shoulders and has added a
bad thumb to his miseries this
week in practice. Willie Edmonds
has been in the hospital, but it
is not determined whether or not
ball injury.
Sophomore David Terrell will
be back in the lineup at full speed
this week. The fleet back saw
limited action in last Friday’s
game at split end.
The Tiger mentor plans sev
eral moves to fill the vacancies
caused by injuries. Jimbo Robi
son will start at the man-under
spot with Paul Fagan moving
from tailback to fullback to re
place Becker. Steve Boring will
fill the gap in Fagan’s position
and Terry Logan will play run
ning back.
The Tigers spent one full prac
tice working on defense this week,
a weak spot in their opening
game. Jones said that for the
condition of the team, the play
ers were doing the best he could
expect of them. He went on to
say that Caldwell will be able
to give his Tigers a good ball
game with all of the injured
starters he will have to sideline.
DALLAS — Talent and appar
ently an ability to keep the faith
have established the University
of Texas as the favorite to win
the Southwest Conference Foot
ball championship. At least that is
the composite opinion of 19 sports
writers and sportscasters who
have completed the annual 2,000-
mile tour of all eight Conference
training camps.
Texas, Arkansas and Baylor
were selected to finish 1-2-3, with
each of them receiving champion
ship consideration. Texas receiv
ed 13 votes for first place, one
ballot to share the title with
Arkansas and no placing below
runner-up. Arkansas was the
championship choice of four and
co-champion by one, while Bay
lor received the only other nomi
nation for the pennant. None oth
er was picked higher than third.
In order, behind those three,
the consensus selection named
Texas Tech, SMU, Rice, TCU and
A&M.
Texas was the only choice of
the past four season to emerge
with the championship that had
been accorded. This was in the
1962 season, when the experts’ 1-
2-3 selection conformed, and Tex
as has the distinction of only
once finishing lower than pre
dicted.
Arkansas disappointed only in
1963, when picked to win, while
Baylor has fallen below expecta
tions only once. Baylor won the
show position by a thin margin
over Tech this year, while Rice
got the nod over TCU for sixth
place by an even thinner edge.
The writers acknowledged that
Arkansas might have been the
choice a week earlier. Uncertain
ty at quarterback during the past
week probably cost the Razor-
backs a nomination to repeat as
champions.
Here is the consensus (first
place votes in parentheses:

of the best and fewer problems at
critical positions); 2-Arkansas;
3-Baylor; 4-SMU; 5-Tech; 6-
TCU; 7-8 tie between A&M and
Rice.

VERN LUNDQUIST, Austin
KTBC-TV: 1-Texas; 2-Arkansas;

Tech; 4-Baylor; 5-SMU; 6-Rice;

best defender); 2-Arkansas (lots
of horses but will lose the big
game); 3-Tech (lacks only win
ning tradition); 4-SMU (Mac

Baylor (too young, too thin); 6-
TCU; 7-A&M; 8-Rice.
