Cur ington Ready For Rice
I Little Lloyd Curington hopes
|hat “third time is a charm” as
the Texas Aggies prepare for
Saturday afternoon’s SWC foot
ball game with the Rice Owls
in Houston.
j In his sophomore year, Curing
ton had a pretty good afternoon
against Rice, returning a kickoff
32 yards, catching a couple of
asses and making a few nice
ns, but it all was in vain as the
wls won, 19-8. Then last year
purington sat out the Rice game
with a pulled leg muscle.
I It’s important to Curington to
play well and beat Rice because
the 158-pound speedster is a
Houston product. He played for
ustin High there and was a
ird-team all-state star.
Texas wanted him and told him
he could be “another Saxton.” He
picked A&M instead. He had an
older brother in school at Aggie-
land and, besides, he “didn’t want
to go somewhere to try to fill
someone else’s shoes.”
In his freshman year at A&M
the Fish posted a 4-1 record and
Curington led the club in rush
ing, punt returns, kickoff returns
and scoring. He was a regular
as a sophomore and led the Ag
gies in rushing. Then in his
junior year he was hurt and miss
ed four games (Baylor, Arkan
sas, SMU and Rice.)
This was to be his big year
but in opener against Georgia
Tech he went down on a punt,
was blocked and received a deep
thigh bruise. He finally return
ed to action last week but saw
only limited duty against SMU.
He was in on all kickoff returns
and three or four offensive plays
but never touched the football.
The little speedster (he was
timed at 9.8 for the 100 in high
school) feels that he’ll be ready
to go at top speed this week.
When he’s fit, he can move.
He rushed for 287 yards as a
sophomore and he netted 100 on
25 carries last year before he
was hurt. He ran only one time
against Georgia Tech this season
and picked up six yards.
Too, there’s another personal
reason why Curington wants the
Aggies back on the winning trail,
he has a young son, Stephen, who
was born the morning of Oct. 29
and will be two weeks old next
Saturday. Since his arrival the
Aggies have lost to Arkansas and
SMU. “I sure want to help
change that,” Lloyd says.

Cage Forecast
BY GARY SHERER
In about a month, the College
Basketball season will be upon
us. The pros, of course, have
been playing for two weeks. The
national scene seems to shape
up as a one-team affair, namely
UCLA.
The reasons for this are an un
beaten freshman team, good let-
termen returning, their top scor
er back, and most important, Lew
Alcindor.
This fellow doesn’t need a
press agent; when you are 7’1 1 A”
tall and still only 19, you speak
for yourself.
Coming off a successful year
with the freshmen (33.1 points
a game and 21 rebounds, his first
year of varsity ball is looked on
a game and 21 rebounds), his
first year of varsity ball is
looked on with much speculation
by the writers.
It may be of interest to note
the kind of players he was play
ing with last year. UCLA’s
starring five, including Alcindor,
had three boys who were high-
school All - America first team
the year before. This would lead
one to believe that UCLA did
quite a recruiting job.
Other outstanding teams this
year should be: Providence and
Boston College in the East; Day-
ton and Michigan State in the
Midwest; Kentucky, Duke and
Louisville in the South; Texas
Western, Houston and SMU in
the Southwest; Creighton, Okla
homa City and New Mexico in
the Plains and Mountains, and
Pacific University and Seattle,
along with UCLA, in the West.
Since everyone else will pick
a pre-season “All” team, this
corner will give it a try also.
First Team
Pat Riley—Kentucky
Westley Unseld—Louisville
Lew Alcindor—UCLA
Bob Verga—Duke
Jim Walker—Providence
Second Team
Sonny Dove—St. John’s (N.Y.)
Elvin Hayes—Houston
Billy Joe Hill—Texas Western
Louis Dampier—Kentucky
Kicking Has Ups And Downs-
Lindsey Is No Exception
Football players who specialize
in kicking have their ups and
downs and Texas A&M’s Glynn
Lindsey is no exception.
“My biggest thrill as a kick
er?” Lindsey repeated the ques
tion. T guess it would have to
be against the University of
Houston last year.” The Aggies
won that one, 10-7, on Lindsey’s
26-yard field goal in the third
period.
Another top thrill came against
Rice in Houston last season. He
booted a crucial extra point late
in the fourth quarter to provide
the Aggies with a come-from-be-
hind 14-13 victory.
“No doubt about the biggest
disappointment,” Glynn says. “It
was when I missed that field goal
against LSU this year.” The Ag
gies were on the LSU one-yard
line in a 7-7 game but the football
was on the right hash mark and
Lindsey had a bad angle. His
kick was wide to the left.
Lindsey was a quarterback at
Mineral Wells High and he prac
ticed kicking then but “we had
a soccer-type kicker that we
used.”
He’s in on a lot of tackles after
kicking off. In the LSU game
this year he received a broken
nose when he made the tackle
on the opening kickoff. “That
wasn’t the reason for missing that
field goal later, though,” Glynn
says.
Glynn has been married three
years and has a five-month-old
daughter, Kelly Lynn.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Lindsey of Palo Pinto, Tex.,
Glynn will get his degree in Jan
uary and plans to go into the
coaching profession.
But, before that he has a
couple more football games for
the Aggies, against Rice and
Texas and he wants to do a lot
of kicking in both.
Aggies Have
Share Of Top
SWC Sophs
The Southwest Conference has
a lot of outstanding sophomores
this year and the Texas Aggies
have their share.
Against SMU, the Aggies
started five on offense and six
on defense. On offense were Edd
Hargett, quarterback; Bob Long,
wingback; Wendell Housley, tail
back; Tommy Maxwell, split end
and Tom Buckman, strong end.
On defense were tackles Rolf
Krueger,and Harvey Aschenbeck;
linebackeiMvan Jones, rover Joe
Wood and safety Curley Hallman.
When they get around to vot
ing for sophomore of the year,
Hargett should be one to consider
seriously. He has completed 118
of 235 passes this year for 1,387
yards and 10 touchdowns and has
displayed the poise of a fifth-
year senior.
A&M Coach Gene Stallings
doesn’t like to brag on sophomores
but he says, “The proof is in the
pudding and the statistics tell
the story. If I were voting I
know how I’d cast my ballot.”
There is another sophomore on
the Aggie squad who is doing an
excellent job as a specialist. He
is Steve O’Neal, who came from
Hearne to A&M on a track scho
larship (hurdler) and now carries
a 42.4-yard punting average on
52 kicks this season.
