THE BATTALION Tuesday, October 19, 1965 College Station, Texas Page 5 FROM THE ined By Larry R. Jerden Most everyone on the Battalion is spending a few moments in reflection on this last weekend. Lest we consider it a complete loss after the football team’s low-scoring performance, we can look at the winning effort of the Aggie Soccer Team and the successful basketball practices now underway. But somehow all the women (for those who have), and booze (for those who don’t) and the parties and the lack of sleep and the high-speed driving and the joy at seeing the Sips beat and the parade and more of each . . . nothing could make this a good weekend. Our Aggies seemed to lack the “something” of earlier campaigns. No one ex pects it to happen again. Houston Post Sports Editor Mickey Herskowitz visited the A&M campus Monday to speak at the Texas Junior College Press Association Conference and gave tips about how to improve the local product. In passing a rumor was mentioned that Dar rell Royal may go to Oklahoma in a year or so. Mickey didn’t back the talk, but did say it’s been a popular subject of late. The argument in favor of the move is Royal had accomplished about all he can at the Austin institution and may make the move to his alma mater . . . and Bud just has it too good on TV to move to any coaching job. Max Mainord, of last year’s Fish basketball team, is reported to be one of the standouts of the early practice sessions. Ran dy Matson seems to be having no trouble adjusting to basket ball, North Texas cartoons to the contrary. Seems as though one large publication to the north showed a sketch of Randy put ting the sphere through to back- board instead of the basket. Hmmm. We’ll see! ■■ ' ♦ Bill Altman ’65 College Master Representative Fidelity Union Life 846-8228 PARDNER You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS Arkansas is now number one. At long last. They finally got AP sanction. Last year it was Alabama. As Frank Broyles once said, “Everyone else would have to lose two and Arkansas be undefeated before they would call us number one.” If a 17 game winning streak and a victory over the number one team didn’t put a team on top . . . just what would it take ? As is common knowledge the new car season is here. More power, both going and stopping, and better built cars from both sides of the Atlantic and Japan seem to be the rule. Sports significance is that auto-racing is now the top spectator sport in the U.S. Everything from drags to NASCAR and midgets to sports cars keep the American public in an automotive frame of mind the year round. Just ask the K.K.’s. Seating didn’t seem to be near the problem at Amon Carter as it did at Kyle Field. At least I didn’t see any seniors in the end zone . . . from either school. I can’t write my book, though, because I got to stand on the 50. It’ll be interesting to see just what happens this weekend at the home game. Both on and off the field. Baylor must have set some kind of injury record. And now the Aggies are beginning to feel the toll of the season. Nothing major yet, but a lot of aches, pains, and a minor break here and there. But they’ll be ready Saturday. Reserved seat tickets for the “ordinary” home games are now down to the 10 yard line. The steel bleachers are the site of the few remaining vacancies for the Turkey Day game. Now is the time to start plan ning for that Arkansas trip. The Hogs are hot, and they’ll be rested up after toying with North Texas State next week end. The Aggies should be high off their first SWC victory of the season, and ready to knock off the potent Razorbacks. Its an Aggie honor they must protect. The 1939-1940 Aggies set the SWC record for the long est winning streak at 19 games. Arkansas now has 17 with num ber 18 sure to come next week end. Its up to the 1965 Ags to stop them one short of a tie and keep the school the owner of that record. Let’s support ’em! NELSON SAVES Aggie sprinter Ted Nelson used his speed to full advantage by partially blocking Bruce Alford’s 23-yard field goal attempt THREE POINTS in the fourth quarter Saturday night. The little end came in untouched to make the save.

SMU, Tech Clash In “D” For Big Game By The Associated Press Coaches Hayden Fry of South ern Methodist and J. T. King of Texas Tech sure are great ad mirers of each other’s team. To hear them tell it, neither has much hope of stopping the other, which would create quite a situation. SMU and Tech clash at Dallas Saturday in the top game of Southwest Conference football. SMU is undefated in conference play, Texas Tech needs to win from SMU to stay in the race. Coach King observed Monday that Southern Methodist has more speed than any other team Tech will face this year. He also said Southern Methodist was good at coming from behind just like his own Red Raiders. King also was a little worried because ace halfback Johnny Agan has a hip injury and may not be able to play against SMU. Fry said Texas Tech had one of the finest teams in the United States and probably the most ex plosive backfield in the confer ence. He added that Donny Anderson was the most complete football player in America. But he didn’t have any injur ies to worry about. Baylor and Texas A&M clash at College Station and Texas and Rice meet at Austin in oth er conference games on the schedule Saturday. All the coaches expressed great concern but the worrying- est one was Darrell Royal, who said he had to quit thinking about last week’s 27-24 loss to Arkansas so he might put in a full quota of worry over Rice. “That team puts out a super human effort against us,” said Royal gloomily. He also men tioned the fact that Texas had trouble snapping back after its Arkansas loss last year and bare ly managed to beat Rice. “That’s partly my fault - I didn’t snap back,” said Royal. “I don’t know about the team this year, but the coaching staff is back up much, much faster.” Rice had a couple of starters out with injuries to worry Coach Jess Neely. They were offensive center Stan McDonald and de fensive tackle Neal Branscum. TALENT ’66 TV AUDITIONS tryouts for the ALL NEW TEXAS COLLEGE TALENT SHOW TO BE HELD TUESDAY OCTOBER 19th, 7 P. M.
