I E BATTALION Wednesday, October 19, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 5 tailings Pleased With TCU Game, Has Bear Problem .P''. ; 11 els BY BOB JONES Battalion Sports Editor Aggie Head Coach Gene Stal- ngs remarked after Texas esc* &M’s opening loss to Georgia ech, 3-38, that he was embar- !r,Ni pssed by his team’s performance Tetj things have changed since that itial contest. “I wasn’t embarrassed Satur- l s , day night,” Stallings said of the ggies’ 36-7 win over Texas hristian University. Stallings ippeared even happier over the ictory than he said while dis- issing the game Tuesday after- oon at his weekly press confer- is 'If ice. It was a big win for A&M. It ft the Aggies 2-2-1 for the sea- >p and 2-0 in Southwest Confer- ice play. The Aggie Mentor was pleased rith the game. He said that aft- ei looking at the game film “our fense hadn’t blocked as well as had in some games. But our fense played better.” Maroon and White defenders iped seven passes thrown by TCU’s Rick Bridges to set two records. The seven interceptions beat A&M’s previous one game high of six, set in 1944 and tied in 1950 and 1952. The pass snatching was also the most ever intercepted from one passer in a SWC game. So Bridges holds a record, too—he threw the most pass interceptions for a single game in SWC history for one passer. Stallings praised his team for their continued improvement. He singled out sophomore defensive tackle Rolf Krueger for a fine showing. “Krueger probably played his best game,” said Coach Stallings. “Our lineback ers played good, too.” Linebacker Robert Cortez had one interception and eight tackles to his credit. Bill Hobbs tallied 12 tackles from his linebacker position. Stallings is a little optimistic about the Aggies’ upcoming game with Baylor in Waco. When asked what he thought about be ing rated the seven-point under dog for Saturday’s game, the Ag gie Head Man replied, “It sur prises me. They beat us 31-0 last year and their Fish beat ours.” To Stallings’ way of think ing Baylor should be favored by three touchdowns. The Baylor Bears are one- half game behind the Aggies in conference play with a 1-0 rec ord. Saturday’s game will decide a lot about the SWC race. Baylor will face the Aggies with the strongest all-around team the Maroon has seen this season. Defensively, Coach Stal lings is still undecided about the Bears. “If you put the rush on the passer, they’ve always got some body open quick,” said Stallings while sizing up the Bears’ unpre dictable offense, guided by veter an passer Terry Southall. “If you play pass defense those big strong linemen hold you out un til somebody is open for Southall to hit.” The Aggie offense will prob ably have a tougher time this week than in previous games. Baylor has a “big fast defensive secondary and a big strong de fensive line,” Stallings comment ed. Stallings employed more than 40 players in A&M’s win last Saturday. Emil Farr played his first down of the year in the game and brought special praise from the A&M coach. “Farr hadn’t played before and he didn’t do a bad job,” volunteered Coach Stallings. Farr played offensive center to spell Gary Kovar. The center po sition was a little new to Kovar who moved into the spot after regular center Jim Singleton in jured his knee in A&M’s tie with LSU. Kovar had been snapping the ball for punts the last three games, but had not worked as a regular center since his freshman year at Aggieland. Kovar put on a fine show, but would rather have his old guard position back. “I’d rather play guard,” says Kovaf. “There you only have to block. At center you have to get the football to the quarterback and then you still have to block.” There was a little mix-up on A&M’s fake punt—not by the players, but on identification of players. Halfback Bob Long was credited in earlier newspaper ar ticles as being the man who took the initial snap. Actually it was fullback Dan Schneider who fig ured in the play. Schneider took the short snap and handed forward to Bill Sallee who romped for the 25-yard gainer. Foliowring the fake punt Long caught a pass from the hands of Edd Hargett with a clear path to the goal. Long stumbled and fell on the TCU four yard line. After the game he quipped: “Aw, I didn’t want all the glory so I fell and let Wendell (Housley) get the touchdown.” Tuesday Long joked that his gracefulness and ability to blow a critical play was the reason for his not really being the man on the fake punt play—although he soaked up Schneider’s glory for the play without a peep of pro test. drive a’67 - - DATSUN then decide.

If communications were perfect, you would never have to. Of course, you would still have to get exercise. But that’s your problem. We want to make it easier for you to contact people, learn, get information, attend lectures, and hold meetings. We developed Picturephone* service so you can see as well as talk when you call. And be seen, too. We introduced Tele-Lecture service (two-way amplified phone calls) to let you hear lecturers in distant locations. And so you could ask them questions no matter how far away they were. Right now, many students can dial from their dormitories to a language lab. Soon a student will be able to dial into a computer thousands of miles away to get information for his courses. Depending on the nature of the information, he might get his answer back audibly, printed on a teletypewriter, as a video image, or a facsimile print. Some of these services are available now. Others are being tested. For the next week or so, better get a move on. ♦ Service mark A T* TfSs Bel1 s Y stem M fXr K V*=?SM American Telephone S Telegraph “ ^ and Associated Companies
