Southall-Led Bears
Picked For SWC Title
Picking the Southwest Conference champion this year
could be a precarious assignment. But after much delibera
tion and many visits with Madame Rose and her crystal
ball, this is the way the race should look at season's end:
1) BAYLOR—For a team to be a winner It must have a super
quarterback. The Bears Will also have a tough defensive unit which
could be the best in the curcuit. They have a tough schedule, but
their biggest assignment will be meeting Arkansas at Fayetteville.
This Baylor team will bring the Baptists their first SWC title in 40
years.
2) ARKANSAS—This team will also have an outstanding
quarterback in Jon Brittenum and probably the finest breakaway
threat in the conference in Harry Jones, but the Hogs will have to
overcome two major factors—no team has won the SWC champion
ship three years in a row and the jinx will ax them, too. They also
have too many personnel shifts in the defensive team which will
cause Frank Broyles many more headaches.
3) TCU—Great overall speed and a fine defense will carry
this team but untested sophomores will not be able to carry the
offensive unit. Another thing that will hurt this Frog team will be
their schedule. They open with Nebraska Saturday and follow with
Ohio State and Arkansas.
4) TEXAS A&M—Lack of depth will hurt the Aggies, but they
should be better than last year. This team returns 13 starters from
the squad that knocked off Georgia Tech last year. A lot of new
comers will have to fill key roles in both the offensive and defensive
platoons, and because of this, the Aggies could drop lower in the
standings.
5) TEXAS—A new offensive formation will slow the Long
horns down at the start of the campaign. Texas will have too many
youngsters at key position and because they have not been tested
under fire they seem to be a year away.
6) SMU—The Mustangs will have as talented a team as any
body in the conference. They have great speed, maturity and ability,
but costly mistakes in the past have hurt the Ponies, and they will
have to overcome this before they can move up in the standings.
7) TEXAS TECH—This will have to be a rebuilding year for
the Red Raiders. There are too many big shoes to fill and the Raiders
do not have a proven quarterback.
8) RICE—The Owls fall in the same category as Texas Tech.
They play a mighty tough schedule and are too undermanned for
such a program. Jess Neely picked a wrong year to retire.
Odds and Ends
In these parts, Murice Moorman, the 6-5, 250-pound tackle, is
the most heralded Kentuckian since Daniel Boone . . . They won’t give
green stamps but the Aggies could come up with an S&H backfield
in Bill Sallee, Dan Schneider, Wendell Housley and Edd Hargett . . .
The center of A&M’s offensive line should be able to figure things
out. Center Jim Singleton and guard Don Koehn plan to be archi
tects while the other guard, Gary Kovar, will become an engineer . . .
Quarterback Edd Hargett explains where he lives this way: “I tell
people I live in Linden but actually I get my mall at Marietta. I
don’t really live in Marietta, though. I live out in the country, about
five miles from Marietta and 11 from Linden . . . Incidentally, the
last football game Hargett played in was against Atlanta (Texas)
when he was a senior in high school. He injured a knee in that one.
His next action likely will come in Atlanta (Georgia, that is) . . . Of
course, in the Aggie huddle, the quarterback is boss and gets no
back-talk, but Harry Ledbetter could cope with it anyway. He plans
to become a lawyer . . . Ledbetter was recently asked when he
started playing football and replied; “During spring training when
I was in the third grade” . . . Aggie coach Gene Stallings was talk
ing recently about the outcome of a game between a superior team
and a inferior unit, and he said: “I thing the score should be a
whole bunch to not too many.”
FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT GEORGIA TECH:
Center Jim Breland, who is an outstanding blocker, is rated by the
Tech staff as one of best offensive centers in Tech history ....
Tailback Lenny Snow gained 597 yards rushing as a sophomore last
year despite injuries that kept him out of two games and slowed
him in others .... Quarterback Kim King set eight new Tech
passing and running records last year .... Junior Claude Shook
might start for the Yellow Jackets at a linebacker post if regular
W. J. Blane is not in top shape for the game .... Bobby Dodd, who
is beginning his 22nd year at Georgia Tech, has compiled a record
of 156 wins, 62 losses and eight ties .... Craig Baynham is Tech’s
top pass receiver. Last season he had 30 receptions for 368 yards
and seven touchdowns.
