Play in the 72-hole tourna ment runs Thursday through Sunday. Casper was just getting the hang of the Waialae Club course near Honolulu last year in the final rounds of the event after a sticky start, but he ran out of holes. Gay Brewer took the tourna ment in a sudden-death playoff with Bob Golby after they had tied with 281 scores, seven un der par. In addition to Casper, PGA champion A1 Geiberger and World Series winner Gene Lit- tler will be on hand with Brewer and Goalby. BOSTITCH REGAL SWEEPSTAKES!

By GARY SHERER It has been said this year that “Notre Dame is so good that even Protestants are rootings for them.” Not knowing much about religious issues, there won’t be any comment from that point of view. However, from a sports point of view, there is plenty of comment. Notre Dame went to Norman, Okla., Saturday and completely man handled a previously unbeaten Oklahoma football team. Some people (only one) thought that Okla homa could handle the Irish, unfortunately, that was a wrong pick. The final score was, 38-0, and that tells the complete story. Michigan State had no trouble in handling Purdue, beating them 41-20, before many happy home folks. The upcoming battle of Nov. 19, between Notre Dame and Michigan State, looks like the game of the year. Because of their losses, Oklahoma and Purdue drop out of the Top Ten rankings. Taking their place are Wyoming and Arkansas, Wyoming because they are un beaten and Arkansas because they just happen to have the right record at the right time. The rest of the Top Ten have the same teams, with Florida and Nebraska changing places, Florida going to seventh because of their easy win over LSU and Nebraska dropping to eighth because of their close call with Colo rado. The Top Twenty shapes up this way: 1. Notre Dame 11. Oklahoma 2. Michigan State 12. Tennessee 3. Alabama 13. Georgia 4. UCLA 14. Purdue 5. use 15. SMU 6. Georgia Tech 16. Mississippi 7. Florida 17. Missouri 8. Nebraska 18. Syracuse 9. Wyoming 19. Harvard 10. Arkansas 20. TEXAS A&M AGGIE DEFENDERS DOWN BEAR Dan Westerfield, 46, left, and Tuffy Fletch- first half, 17-0, lead (Battalion Photo by er, 82, lower the boom on Baylor ball-carrier Scott Hervey) Saturday. Aggie defense preserved A&M’s Sophomores Pace SWC Others: Memphis State, Houston, Miami (Fla.), Army, Baylor, V.P.I., Colorado State, Miami (Ohio), West Texas State; Bits and Pieces: Arkansas is now rated Number 10 in the nation, guess who was number 10 last week before they were beaten 17-13 by the Aggies. Maybe SMU will be Number 10 on Nov. 5 and we'll make it three Number 10’s in a row. The 17 points the Aggies scored on Baylor Saturday, was the most scored on them this year. Old Harvard is still unbeaten, knocking off Ivy League pre-season favorite Dartmouth, 19-14. The Aggies have been ahead or tied in the first half of every game this year (c’mon second half). Michigan State and Nebraska now have the longest regular season winning streaks (excluding bowl games) of the major colleges. They both won 16 straight. We’ll end this with one final note, somebody will have to beat Notre Dame .... Would you believe, Navy?

DALLAS lA*) — Sophomores lead four of the five major cate gories of Southwest Conference football with Edd Hargett, the irrepressible soph of the Texas A&M backfield, hogging two. In fact it further verifies the fact that it‘s the year of the sophomores in the conference. Hargett is the total offense leader with 1055 yards on 200 plays—an average of 5.3. John Scovell of Texas Tech, a junior, is second with 947 yards on 187 plays. Scovell yielded the lead ership Saturday when he was in jured on the third play of the Southern Methodist game. Hargett also is the top passer with 83 completions in 155 throws for 1044 yards and eight touchdowns. He is averaging 12.6 yards per connection. He also has the top percentage of completions—53.5—and that’s 8.6 better than runnerup Terry Southall of Baylor. Southall has completed 70 passes in 156 throws for 917 yards and eight touchdowns. Robby Shelton, the Rice soph omore, leads the rushing with 503 yards on 106 runs, while Chris Gilbert, the Texas soph, is second with 429 yards on 96 carries. Bill Bradley, Texas sopho more quarterback, leads the punters with a 42.4 yards aver age but is only a tenth of a yard ahead of Donnie Gibbs of Texas Christian. Larry Gilbert, Texas Tech jun ior, leads the pass-receivers by a mile. He has taken 38 throws for 525 yards and has 13 more catches than runnerup Sonny Campbell of Texas Christian. Two sophomores are tied for the scoring lead—Jerry Levias of Southern Methodist and Bruce Maxwell of Arkansas, each with 30 points. The other leader is Mac White, Southern Methodist senior. Frank Horak of Texas Chris tian has the most pass intercep tions, showing five, while Mar- tine Bercher of Arkansas is the top punt returner with 230 yards on 17 runs. Mike Leinert of Texas Tech leads in kickoff re turns with 299 yards on 15. Levias is second with 216 yards on 11. Southern Methodist sets the offensive pace with 340.4 yards per game, 26.4 yards per game better than Texas Tech. Baylor tops in defense, giving up 264.6 yards per outing. But the most amazing defensive deeds belong to Texas A&M, whose ballhawk ing secondary has intercepted 20 passes in six games. Not since 1949 has this been equalled. Arkansas did it then. Arkansas’ Loyd Phillips Prepares For Grid Encore FAYETTEVILLE—What does an All-American junior do for an encore ? For Arkansas’ Loyd Phillips— there’s simply no problem. He re gards every offensive play as the most important down of the year —and reacts with instinctive pride in his work. If Arkansas’ five opponents could vote for the Outland Award (the top honor be stowed upon an interior lineman) —Phillips would win the trophy hands down. The 241-pound senior from Longview, Tex., is having his best year as a Razorback—and the statistics prove it. As a unani mous All-American in 1965, he was credited with 42 unassisted tackles, 58 assists, two pass plays broken up and three fumbles re covered. Through five games this year—Phillips (on the coaches’ grade sheets) has 35 unassisted tackles, 39 assists, two passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage and three tackles that resulted in fumbles. “I feel like I’m having my best year,” says the redhead, “and I think Coach Coffey has had a lot to do with it. Being a new coach at Arkansas, he keeps after me all the time. He makes sure I don’t let up for a minute. He’s been more help to me as a senior than anyone.” Even though the long (24- game) regular-season winning streak came to an end two weeks ago, the Razorback defense has been holding its own. The Pork ers lead the league in total de fense and in rushing defense— and have actually permitted fewer points this year than at the half way mark of 1964 or 1965. Head football coach Frank Broyles spares no adjectives in talking about his All-American tackle. “He’s the finest defensive line man I’ve ever coached—without question,” says Broyles. “For two years the opposition has been call ing plays away from Loyd—yet he consistently leads our team in tackles. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a defensive player so dominate a game like Phillips,” he reported. Phillips, the first Arkansas lineman ever to earn three straight All-SWC selections (this appears certain), is more excited about a chance to play on three straight undisputed SWC cham pions. “That would be some record, wouldn’t it?” he smiled. Named to every pre-season All- American team selected, he will become the first Razorback in history to rate two All-American recognitions. FREE OFFER!!! TO SENIORS ONLY (1.)
