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.

If communications were good enough,
you could stay in the sack all day
Moving your body around
is highly inefficient.
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.
