THE BATTALIO!
They Can’t Be Wrong All The Time!
By GARY SHERER
Prognostication is defined in
the dictionary as being the act
of prognosticating or a forecast
or prophecy. Every August, ex
perts, both regional and nation
wide, begin some college football
‘prognosticating’ on the upcoming
gridiron season.
This past August, Southwest
Conference experts or prog
picked Southern Methodist to be
the doormat of the Southwest
Conference. The Texas Aggies,
on the other hand, were picked as
a contender for the SWC football
crown along with Texas and
Arkansas.
The two teams met on Kyle
Field Saturday afternoon before
34,000 in-person fans and an un
countable number of television
watchers. The result is new SWC
history. SMU topped the Aggies
20-17.
There are two sure things about
pre-season predicting: 1—There
will always be pre-season predict
ing; 2—The predictions some
times will be wrong. In this case,
as far as the game result is con
cerned, the predictions about the
Aggies and SMU were wrong.
Both A&M Coach Gene Stall
ings and his SMU counterpart,
Hayden Fry, had said prior to the
game that regardless of the pre
dictions, the real truth would be
brought out on the “field of
battle.”
The real test then lies with the
players themselves and their per
formances in 60 minutes of action.
The players can be inspired and
disappointed by the things they
read in the pre-season ramblings.
The chant in the SMU dressing
room after the game of “We’re
still No. 1” proved that the Mus
tang players were inspired.
The Aggie dressing room was
just the opposite of SMU’s as
nothing really had to be said. This
is not to say the players weren’t
inspired by the things written
about them, but that they had
been beaten by a team that was
defending its conference cham
pionship.
Strength Keynotes
The Boilermakers
By JERRY GRISHAM
Saturday it was Southern Meth
odist, veteran of the 1967 Cotton
Bowl Classic. This week the Ag
gies take on the Purdue Boiler
makers, this year’s Rose Bowl
champions, in the Cotton Bowl
at Dallas.
From a team that posted a 9-2
mark last season, the Indiana
club returns a solid core of 32
lettermen, including 14 starters
in the 14-13 victory over Southern
Cal in the Rose Bowl.
Among the 26 lettermen lost
by graduation was All-America
quarterback Bob Griese who liter
ally rewrote the Purdue record
books as one of the nation’s
prime offensive threats for three
seasons.
Offensively for the Boilermak
ers, the loss of Griese is the
only dark spot. Four of the five
top rushing leaders from 1966
return. Junior tailback Perry Wil
liams will again be in the back-
field, trying to duplicate as a
junior last year’s feat of being
the top sophomore ground gainer
in the Big Ten.
Split-end Jim Beirne, a top
candidate for All-America honors,
is expected to shine this year as
the top receiver in the Big Ten.
He has set three Purdue school
records and is the all-time single
season Boilermaker pass catcher.
The big question for the Rivet-
That must be the “Mr. 47°”
we’ve heard about -
Ask around among your friends and neighbors.
You'll be surprised at how many of them do busi
ness with me and my company.
This is no accident, since my greatest interest is
your satisfaction and most practical form of
protection: on your life, for your youngster's edu
cation, protecting your home mortgage, Estate
planning, Pension Plan for retirement, etc.
Naturally, I make a living doing this, but I don't
do this just to make a living.

The reason for the difference in
the dressing room atmospheres
was a 5-10 football player named
Jerry Levias. As the Beaumont
junior had been the difference a
little over a year ago in Dallas’
Cotton Bowl, he retained his posi
tion Saturday.
Levias, last year’s SWC player-
of-the-year, slumped on the bench
in front of his locker, telling
writers he had played the last few
seconds by instinct. Levias had
struck the SMU bench after being
tackled on his return of the final
kickoff of the day with just 36
seconds remaining.
His instinct really came alive
32 seconds later as he hauled in
a pass with just one foot of end
zone between his flying feet and
the backline of the touchdown
area. Aggie defensive back Jack
Whitmore’s tackle came too late
and Levias fell to the ground
clutching the football.
He had taken the pass from a
passer that hadn’t completed a
pass all of last season but never
theless had become the Ponies No.
2 quarterback this season. Ines
Perez, all 5-4 of him, was that
player.
Perez and Levias prove that
even though predictors pick a
team for last, it still must be up
to the players’ performance for
the real answer.
Aggie quarterback Edd Hargett
had been picked by the experts to
lead the A&M team to a success
ful season. The junior passer was
doing just that, although the SMU
line caused him misery all day.
Finally wtih 3:29 remaining Har
gett took to the air and with 43
seconds left on the clock the Ag
gies had 17-13 lead.
Hargett’s 29-yard strike to Bit
Long had sent the home fans in
a frenzy as it looked like thefitsi
leg of the Aggies’ march backki
begun.
This set the stage for the fim
act and Jerry Levias emerge
with the biggest part.
The Aggies’ next game is will
the Purdue Boilermakers at I
Cotton Bowl. Those predictou
have had things to say about4
Big Ten representative, too. Tki
were picked as co-favorite will
Michigan State for the conferee
title.
With this in mind, and tki
Aggies with an 0-1 record, tl*
prophets will undoubtedly looklj
a Purdue win. It is hoped Ik
experts will also take in accoia
that although they were wroni
about SMU, they still could k
right about Texas A&M.
ers is who will hand off to such
backs as Williams and who will
be tossing passes to Beirne ?
Three junior lettermen with a
total varsity playing time of 49
minutes are vying for the quar
terback slot vacated by Griese.
Of the three, Mike Engelbrecht
seems to be the best bet to start
in the opener.
For the Boilermaker defense it
couldn’t be rosier. The entire
starting defensive line and line
backers return for another go at
it led by defensive tackle Lance
Olssen. The 6-5, 257 pound giant
was selected 1966 All-Big Ten
defensive tackle by both wire
services.
Two of the defensive starters
are slated to go both ways. Line
backer Clanton King can be ex
pected to play in the offensive
guard position and defensive
back Leroy Keyes will more than
likely see duty as an offensive
flanker.
The defensive secondary will
start with two sophomores com
bining talents with three veterans,
Dennis Cirbes, Bob Corby and
Keyes.
For the Aggies it’s the second
bowl team in a row. A win against
the Big Ten power would be a
bolster to Aggie spirits because
the next weekend, you guessed
it, another bowl team, Florida
State, last year’s Sun Bowl team,
invades College Station.
NOBODY GOT IT
