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 To Open Campaign
Against TCU Wogs Tonight
By GARY SHERER
Battalion Sports Writer
The Aggie Fish, with perhaps
the best crop of talent in recent
years, open the 1966 campaign
against the TCU Wogs at 7:30
p.m. tonight in Fort Worth.
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.
