What’s
By GARY SHERER
“What kind of a day was it?
A day like all days, only . . .”
This is part of the sign off of
a television program of the late
fifties but it could have been ap
plied to Saturday’s college foot
ball games.
THE ENDING of the statement
could read “everything went
wrong” or “the oddsmakers took
a bath” or “what happened?”
The last day of September,
1967, will go down as the most
surprising Saturday of the sea
son; that is, until THIS week.
In a day of surprises, the Ag
gies added to the list as they
dropped a 17-6 decision to LSU
before 66,000 screaming Baton
Rouge fans. The Tiger victory
wasn’t the surprising part, as
they were 1-3 point favorites. The
shocking thing about the loss was
the way the Aggies looked.
A week before, the Maroon and
White had come back at halftime,
carried the fight to a huge Purdue
aggregation and fell just two
minutes short of licking the Big
Ten power. How good is Purdue
this year? By now, most of the
world knows what team the
Boilermakers topped 28-21 Satur
day afternoon.
WHY THEN, could the Aggies
gain a moral victory over Purdue
and then turn around and suffer
a letdown against LSU? One of
the answers is the Aggies’ exten
sive injury list from the Purdue
loss, but possibly a truer answer
is an unpredictable element—the
college football player.
This element makes up all the
college football teams in the
nation. The age of this element
runs from 18-23. This one thing
can be blamed for the surprises
that occurred Saturday.
Unlike the professional play
ers, collegiate players don’t play
for money—only for the thrill of
victory. Because of this, strange
things can happen on a given day.
SATURDAY night, the Aggies
The Answer?
and LSU showed why college foot
ball is so unpredictable. LSU got
the kickoff and in five plays were
at the A&M 37-yard line. After
the Tigers stalled and a 54-yard
field goal try was unsuccessful,
the Aggies took over. In two
plays, the Aggies had a first
down, then a fumble and LSU had
the ball again.
This was the story of the first
quarter, up and down the field
but no score. With only two
minutes gone in the second quar
ter, the situation changed. LSU
marked 80 yards for a score and
the beginning of the end had
started for the Aggies.
The rest is now history. LSU
put ten more points on the score-
board and the Maroon and White
finally broke the ice when Charlie
Riggs hit Bob Long with a 7-yard
aerial with just 70 seconds re
maining.
WHAT IS surprising about this
loss? The Aggies had piled up
336 yards offense against Purdue,
but they fell 111 yards short of
that figure Saturday night. Quar
terback Edd Hargett, author of 17
pass completions in the Purdue
game, fell to 4 of 14 against the
Tigers.
It wasn’t that the junior passer
was inaccurate, but rather that
he was throwing for his life. The
LSU defensive line spent most of
its time in the Aggie backfield
as Hargett took some all-too-
frequent trips to the turf.
But wait, this was the same
line that Rice quarterback Bobby
Shelton had riddled with some 300
yards of total offense the week
before! Was it the Rice offensive
line blocking, or was it that the
Tiger defense wasn’t ready?
What is the answer? That un
predictable element again.
AS MENTIONED, the Aggies
were hurting physically but the
LSU defense was ready this week
where it wasn’t the week before.
The Aggies, ready against Pur
due, weren’t against LSU. The
comparisons can go on and on,
but what is more important, the
Aggies lost their third game in
as many played.
What will happen this Saturday
night at Kyle Field ? This is any
body’s guess. The Aggies’ compe
tition this week is the Florida
State Seminoles, 0-2-1. The
Seminoles were clobbered by
Houston and then scored 37 points
on Alabama.
Why the difference? You
know the answer!

7 Told You So’
AUSTIN. (A*) — Darrell Royal
surveyed the probable wreckage
of Texas’ dreams of a Southwest
Conference football championship
—even a national championship
as many had predicted—and said
“I’ve tried to tell you folks I
didn’t have all those great
players.”
Texas, overwhelming favorite
for the conference title and rank
ed third nationally in some polls,
took a 19-13 licking from Texas
Tech for its second defeat in a
row—the first time Texas had
dropped its two opening games
since 1938.

What will happen this Saturday
night when the Seminole Injuns
from Florida State tangle with
Ole Army of Texas A&M in Kyle
Field?
It could be the biggest mas
sacre since The Little Big Horn
or it could put the Seminoles Lack
on the reservation and give new
life to the battered troops of the
Aggies.
In other words—who knows?
Both teams are winless, the Ag
gies losing to SMU, Purdue and
LSU, and the Florida State squad
dropped one to the University of
Houston, 33-13, then tied mighty
Alabama, 37-37, and last weekend
lost to North Carolina State,
20-10.
Injuries could play an impor
tant role in the contest. The
Aggies are reeling from injuries
received in the Purdue and LSU
games. Florida State’s junior
quarterback, Gary Pajcic, will be
out because of injuries received
in the opening Houston game.
But an able replacement, Kim
Hammond, is a do-everything
quarterback and has demonstrat
ed that he can lead the Seminoles.
Hammond, a 190-pound senior,
is no stranger at the position.
He was the starting man-under
for the Seminoles last year until
Pajcic took it away.
Florida State has demonstrated
that it has the offensive punch
with Hammond in. The Crimson
Tide of Alabama is noted for its
stingy defense, but the Semi
noles racked up an impressive 37
points against them, striking pri
marily by the aerial route.
