Aggies Focus On Tigers After Win Over Raiders A smiling, relaxed Gene Stal lings walked into yesterday’s weekly press conference and said: “We needed one.” And one the Aggies did get. In fact, it was a convincing win over Texas Tech, 35-14. Right after his opening re mark, Stallings focused his at tention to LSU, A&M’s opponent this week. “They (LSU) are tough, big, strong and can really hit you in defense,” the Aggie boss said. “They’ve got soime good person nel and their pass defense is very good because they drop back a lot of folks.” Even though LSU graduated some players from last year’s team which beat Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, Stallings still thinks the Tigers returned excel lent players. “Anybody that beats Arkansas TEACHER WAS NEPHEW OF PUPILS GLASGOW, Ky. (AP) — Not many teachers faced the problem confronting Samuel S. Smith when he began teaching in a one- room schoolhouse at Little Poplar Grove. Among Smith’s 40 students were three of his aunts, two uncles and a sister. “None of my relatives seemed to know what to call me,” he said. “So usually they didn’t call me —they just came after me.” has got to be good,” he contin ued. Stallings said only safety George Walker and halfback Lloyd Curington would definitely be out of the LSU game with in juries. Walker is suffering from an ankle injury and Curington, who was hurt in the Georgia Tech game, has a leg injury. All other Aggie personnel will be ready for the game, even though several players are nurs ing slight injuries. “We have a couple of players that will not get much work this week because we don’t want them to aggrevate their injuries,” Stallings said. Stallings thought the Aggie de fensive unit improved over the Tulane game, but still figured more improvement was neces sary. He did single out good play from Ken Lamkin, Rolf Krueger, Grady Allen, Harvey Aschenbeck and Tuffy Fletcher. On offense, Stallings said the line blocked well and the backs looked good. Guard Gary Kovar and tackle Maurice Moorman graded well, while backs Edd Hargett, Bill Sallee and Wendell Housley also played good. The Aggie boss didn’t mention any personnel changes. When asked if there were any, he just shrugged his shoulders. This could mean that there will be some or that he will go with the same team that “Made Some thing Happen” against Texas Tech.

Fish Coach J. A. Helms is hop ing to improve on last year’s mark of one win and four losses. “We have shown steady im provement in our practice ses sions but we won’t know how much until the first game,” Helms said. “The players have a good attitude, perhaps the best I’ve seen.” So far in practice games with the varsity reserves, the Fish have looked good. Offensively, Barney Harris, quarterback, from San Antonio; Ross Brup- backer, halfback, from Lafay ette, La., and Jimmy Adams, weak end, from Houston Wal- trip, have impressed. On defense, Winston Beam, middle guard, from Odessa and tackles Lee Roberts from Alpine and James Selvidge from Tyler have shown promise. “Pre-game notices on TCU look pretty good and we expect a tough game,” Helms added. The game will open the 24- game Southwest Conference freshman football schedule. Texas Christian is hoping to continue where they left off last year.' Last year the Wogs were undefeated in five games. Two standouts for the Wogs are halfbacks Bub Deerinwater and James Vanderslice, from Wichita Falls. Wogs coach Fred Taylor has fielded a 51-man squad for this year’s freshman team. He fig ures the Aggies, Baylor and Tex as are the teams to beat but has an optimistic outlook for his team. The game will be played at Amon Carter Field with a crowd of 25,000 expected. Helms is expected to start Adams at weak end, Terry Brew ster at weak tackle, Mike Smith at weak guard, Mike Stinson at center, Rusty Stallings at strong guard, Joe Shaw at strong tackle and Ronald Rudloff at strong end. The backfield will consist of Harris at quarterback, Brupback- er, at strong back, Larry Stegent at weak back and Bruce Kemph at fullback. On defense, Robert Kirchner and Walter Mohn at ends, Rob erts and Selvidge at the tackles, Beam at middle guard, Jimmy Piper at rover, Gary Gruben and Bill Gilliam at linebacker, Mark Moseley and Brian Christen at cornerback and Danny McBride at safety.
