Ags Regroup For SMU “If it wasn’t for tape and band ages, we couldn’t play.” The quote belongs to Texas A&M Football Coach Gene Stall ings. “We are hurt, sore, tired and beat up,” Stallings said matter- of-factly in a Tuesday press con ference. “Mentally, we’ll be ready to play SMU, but I don’t know about the physical part.” At the same time, Stallings voiced doubts about the injury bugaboo in the Mustang corral. He was talking about the ailing Jim Hagle, a fleet Pony halfback, and Pat Gibson, a defensive back. “If I were guessing, I’d bet Hagle will play,” Stallings re marked. “Crutches are pretty easy to come by.” The Aggie coach had praise for the Maroon’s offensive line. “Our offensive line played bet ter against Arkansas than against Baylor,” he said. “At least the players graded better.” Stallings cited tackle “Mo” Moorman, Kovar and guard Don Koehn for good showing. All graded 70 or better.” About Moorman, who had the problem of staving off Arkan sas’ All American Loyd Phillips on defense, drew further com ment from Stallings. “Moorman graded well in the Arkansas game,” he said. “Phil lips didn’t move him out block ing, and Phillips didn’t make a heck of a lot of tackles either.” Somebody asked the coach if opponents run the other side of the line much in an effort to evade Moorman’s maulings. “When they run from “Mo” to Rolph Krueger (225-pound soph from Bryan) they are not picking an easy one to run against.” Getting back to the game at hand, Stallings said the Ponies have good personnel and team speed, as well as a 3-0 loop rec ord. “I’d say their strong suit is the fact that they have a lot of sen iors playing,” he noted. “Mac White is a real good quarterback and he likes to run the ball more than Jon Brittenum of Arkansas. That Jerry Levias is a dangerous receiver and a good passer too.” “SMU has a pretty good of fense,” he added with emphasis. “Their personnel is as good as anybody’s in the league.” Stallings revealed no plans for changes in the Aggie lineup against the Methodists. “We’re playing the best we’ve got,” he said. Quarterback Edd Hargett, A&M’s sophomore hurler, was lauded for showing a lot of “cool” against the Porkers. “I thought about taking him out late in the game,” Stallings remarked. “But he was not do ing a bad job. I didn’t want to hurt his confidence. Hargett did a good job of keeping his poise although our receivers missed many of his passes.” Saturday’s another day, how ever, and the Aggie targets are no doubt putting glue on their hands to make the ball stick against SMU. Upwards to 60,000 fans are ex pected in the Cotton Bowl to see if the Aggies will regain their winning ways or if the Mustangs steamroll closer to the Southwest Conference championship.

Some sharp tongues define “mugwump” as a political animal with his “mug” on one side of the fence, his “wump” on the other. Clearer heads claim it a stamp of independence. The definition and corporate stance Western Elec tric takes is strictly nonpartisan. But nonpartisan as WE must be, we recog nize that, to be an effective citizen, the indi vidual must become a political partisan. And it means being more active than just showing up at the polls. So we do our best to encour age our 170,000 people to express their political leanings — in whatever direction. We do it by sponsoring a “Democracy in Action” program that takes no sides, but explores all angles. WE people —white collar, blue collar — lead it. Long before elections, courses are given at WE locations. Back ground subjects include such Soc. and Eco. considerations as — The Persistent Problem of Unemployment... The Negro’s Long Struggle . . . America’s Balance of Payments. Booklets are handed out that answer questions like: “How can I get started in politics? How can I use my talents to serve my party?” Before elections, Back Your Party rallies are held. Bunting and. posters hung. Politi cians from both national parties are invited to speak. A dialogue develops. Thousands of WE people participate. It stirs up their political juices. Helps make them better informed, ergo: better citizens. As a national company, in the Bell System to make ever-better communications equip ment, we believe such basic communications are vital.
