Cotton Bo#i over, will h r wear thai businesses » Sports Aplenty Tradition Or Truth By GARY SHERER BAIT PICKS While searching through the mail bag Monday night, a x9 envelope caught my eye. It was addressed to the ports Editor. Since we hardly ever get written corres- ondence it was opened first. Folded neatly inside was half of last Friday’s Battalion jorts page. Scrawled around the margin was a message line from an irate Aggie. As is usually the case in this tlu| rpeof mail, it was unsigned. Here is the message. . . . Look who needs to learn about laJjrgie Tradition. What is all this “give them the win” and mtifjOSS to Southern Methodist.” Aggies never lose — no one ir gets a win from us. In the future please remember tkifis in your sports reports. . . . The title of my Friday story was ‘Aggies Aim For stflrst Victory and put in the margin. . . . Every game is a ictory. Title should read “Aggies Aim For First Scoring Ige.” I sat and read the message over a couple of times and ien started to think. My thoughts ran the gamut from ery angry to very sad. From the way this sounded, it seemed this unknown iter thought that I was glad the Aggies had lost. Just palecause I must print the facts of a story doesn’t mean I link any less of the Aggies. Granted, I am not up on all the Aggie traditions. Being A ot a member of the Corp, I have not had an adequate op- ortunity to learn it completely. But, this doesn’t mean tk utl’m not in back of the Aggies’ efforts. I would not be doing my job as a sports reporter if I rote lines like . . . Aggies win 18-19 or . . . Tigers outscore jfgies 17-6. What this all boils down to is a loss is a lifssand it must be printed as such. When Aggies talk to Aggies, it is true, the Aggies never lose. But, when I report the facts of a sports contest latwill be read by not only Aggies, but also non-students, have to be factual in my writing. I’m as much a fan of the Aggies sports representatives tkkjsany other A&M student, but if I didn’t report the true its, I would be fooling myself as a sports writer.

It has splashes of colors on it, repre senting nearly all the foes the Aggies play. It belongs to Cortez, or did before he busted it with a vicious tackle. “When I get to feeling low and start looking for a contact player, I look at that helmet and know that I can find a contact football player in Cor tez,” Stallings says. Cortez is a shy, pleasant per son off the field but once he puts on that football gear he’s a vicious head-hunter. Robert is one of 13 children born to Mr. and Mrs. Caspar Cortez of San Benito. His father is employed by Cameron County Highway Dept. Robert is fourth from the youngest and he’ll be 23 on Oct. 23. At San Benito High, Cortez played linebacker-fullback and was all-district, all-Valley and honorable mention all-state. His coach then was Jake Helms, now freshman mentor at Aggieland. He was a blasting fullback for the A&M Fish but shifted to line backer as a defensive specialist his sophomore year. He’s major ing in physical education and has plans for a career in coaching when he is graduated from A&M. The latest shift to offense doesn’t bother Cortez. Just as long as he gets to play and stick that helmet on somebody. He’s a real contact football player. BY JERRY GRISHAM All of the Southwest Confer ence football legions, except Tex as Christian, will be in action this weekend. The Horned Frogs will be tak ing it easy Saturday trying to forget the 26-0 licking they re ceived last week, courtesy of the Arkansas Razorbacks. THE HOGS ON the other hand have tasted blood for the first time this season and will probab ly be loaded for bear—Baylor Bear—come Saturday. The game will be played Sat urday night in Waco and the home field advantage lies with the Bears. And the Bears are also coming off of their first victory of the year also. Baylor edged Washington St. 10-7 and it’s a certainty that the Bears will be going all out against the always tough Ozark boys. Action for the Ponies of South ern Methodist begins Friday night as the Cadets of West Point move into the Cotton Bowl for maneu vers. BOTH TEAMS COME off of defeats last week. SMU was clob bered by Minnesota 23-3 and Ar my was upset 10-7 by Duke after previously defeating two lesser opponents. With quarterback Steve Lindell guiding the Cadets, they are a definite offensive threat. The Mustangs, however, have been very deficient in that department. Since the A&M game in which they scored two six-pointers to win 20-17 the Ponies have scored only a field goal against Missouri and Minnesota combined. The Rice Owls will have all that they can handle in Houston when they play Northwestern. The Wildcats were defeated 25-16 by Purdue last week. Northwest ern, however, led the conquerors of Notre Dame for three quarters before the Boilermakers could pull ahead with three TD’s. RICE HAS HAD two weeks to rest since they topped Navy two weeks ago and should be in great shape to meet the Cats. While the Mustangs and Army are butting heads Friday night in the Cotton Bowl the rest of the town will be rocking with the annual shenanigans of the Texas and Oklahoma University fans who will be tanking up in prepar ation for Saturday’s Texas-OU game in the Bowl. If you believe everything you read or hear you would arrive at the conclusion that the entire Oklahoma team is home in bed with ice packs and poultices and that Darrell Royal is ordering splints, bandages and crutches by the carload. It’s probably nearer the truth that both teams will show up at the field Saturday as healthy as ever. As far as the winner is con cerned, flip a coin - and your an swer will be as good as anyone’s. THE TEXAS AGGIES play their first conference game since SMU Saturday night when they play Texas Tech in Lubbock. The Aggies will have a dual objective in the contest. They will be going for their first win of the season and will also be trying to climb out of the cellar. The Raiders were upset by Mississippi State last week to ruin their hopes for a perfect season but they still have a stain less conference mark and are cer tain to try and keep it that way. After this weekend’s action everyone but Rice will have taken at least one dip into the SWC pool. Right now Tech is occupying first place along with Arkansas and SMU. All three have 1-0 league marks. Texas, TCU and A&M are all in the cellar with identical 0-1 conference records. After Satur day Baylor will either move into the penthouse o r climb i n the basement window.

Aggie Defense Makes Changes Coach Gene Stallings announced some defensive changes following Wednesday night’s practice ses sion. Split end Tommy Maxwell has been moved to safety for Satur day night’s Texas Tech game. Regular safety Curley Hallman will start at defensive halfback and Jimmy Adams will be moved back to offense at split end. The move was made because the Aggie mentor has not been satisfied with the defensive sec ondary in the team’s first four games. The team will debark from Easterwood Airport at noon on Friday and return after the game Saturday night.
