In a dual meet with The Uni versity of Houston Cougars Octo ber 7th, the Texas A&M cross country varsity scored 41 points to their opponents’ 19. Only one problem there — the team with the lowest total points won. The Aggie finishers of the three mile race were: John Heff ner, 2nd; Ed Vezy, 8th; Chris Conley, 9th; James Thurmond, 10th; Mike Synard, 12th; Bob Vaughn, 14th. Howie Ryan, from the Univer sity of Houston, won the race with a time of 15:02. Texas A&M sophomore John Heffner was ranked second at 15:09. Ter ry Sweeney, a Cougar senior, brushed ahead of Heffner by less than a yard, but was disqualified because of ineligibility. Heffner described the course and the surprising finish of the Aggies very readily. “In the first place, we were not expected to finish anywhere near the top ten,” he said. “We heard the University of Houston coach, A1 Lawrence, say this was the best cross country team he had seen in his experi ence, either as a runner or a coach. Lawrence is a former Stallings Takes Look At Games By BOB JONES “I can’t say that I’m as pleased with a tie as I would have been with a win, and I won’t say it was a moral victory to tie LSU, but it’s been a long time since Texas A&M has done as well against LSU,” said Aggie Head Coach Gene Stallings after Satur day night’s 7-7 tie with Louisiana State University. But in a way Stallings was pleased. “I’m as proud as I can be of our youngsters because they got better as the game went along and they were whipping LSU in the second half.” Against Georgia Tech in the season opener and again against Tulane, the Aggies seemed to deteriorate in the second half after impressive first halves. Not so in the last two outings. The Aggies came back fired up after halftime in the Texas Tech game and built their lead to a 35-14 margin — the largest point production by an Aggie team since 1961. Saturday the Aggies knotted the score 7-7 in the first half against LSU, but fell short on statistics. In the initial half LSU led in first downs, 13-2, and in rushing 162-12. But the Maroon and White got better and the second half was a different story. Stallings’ crew racked up 13 first downs in that last half while allowing LSU only four and chalked up 82 yards rushing to 38 for the Tigers. A&M’s head mentor refused credit for the improvement while rehashing the game at Tuesday’s news conference. He praised the team for its fine showing. “They’re getting a little more confidence in themselves,” commented Stallings. “It wasn’t anything magic that the coaches did.” Senior center Jim Singleton injured his left knee in the LSU battle. Singleton left the game following A&M’s field goal attempt. Stallings doesn’t expect Singleton to be ready for action in the immediate future. “I’d say he’ll be out three weeks at a minimum.” Singleton’s injury prompted some personnel changes for Satur day’s game with TCU on Kyle Field. Guard Gary Kovar moved in to fill the gap at center. Just who will fill Kovar’s position is still a toss-up. As things stand now, either Jack Pyburn or Mark Weaver will handle the job. TCU’s Bruce Alford kicked two field goals last Saturday to beat Texas Tech, 6-3. Asked how to prevent the TCU toe-man from splitting the uprights, Stallings replied, “You better not let them cross the 50.” A&M won’t be making any drastic changes in its defense for TCU. “We’re gonna use our same defenses we’ve always had,” Stallings said. “We’re just gonna try to improve them.” Stallings anticipates a running game from the TCU Horned Frogs Saturday. “They keep the ball. They just run right at you and keep the ball,” he emphasized. “They’ve also got a pass receiver, Campbell, that’s pretty high up in the statistics, too. So they throw the ball to him.” Sonny Campbell is presently second in the Southwest Conference in pass receiving with 17 receptions for 201 yards, and 11.8 yard average.
