Page 6 College Station, Texas Friday, October 13, 1967 THE BATTALION Aggies Face Tough Raiders By GARY SHERER The Aggies get their second Southwest Conference test at Lubbock’s Jones Stadium tomor row night. The competition will be provided by the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Tech-men were picked for a fourth place finish in pre season forecasting but as every one knows, upset the applecart with a 19-13 victory over Texas. The Aggies SWC record stands at 0-1 after the opening day set back at the hands of Southern Methodist. RAIDER Coach J. T. King has an experienced offense to work with this season. The attack is under the leadership of junior quarterback John Scovell. The rangy field general has been pil ing up some impressive total offense figures in Tech’s first three games. Scovell has adequate help in halfback Mike Leinert, fullback Jackie Stewart and end Larry Gilbert. Clearing the way up front will be toughies like tackle Stan Edwards, guard Phil Tucker and center Jerry Turner. Over on the defense side, King was supposed to have trouble, as he lost most of his defensive unit from last season. However, the supposedly ‘green’ defense has held their opponents to 20 points thus far. One of the top hans on defense is linebacker Ed Mooney. The 235-pound shotputter from New York has received great praise from Tech opposition this season. PROBABLY the most effective part of the Tech attack is its Park Highlander Center Cleaners Washateria Southside Redmond Shopping Center Shopping Center (South Gate) Corps: Coin Operated Dry Cleaning Civilian: Wash & Wear —Cleaning Laundering —Pressing —Professional Dry Cleaning —Alterations —Shirt Service —Shirt Service (Attendant on duty 7:30 a. m. until 10:00 p. m.) n . 5Je 'tuiSl bisafc, und N EW f ^ o ^ ensa * c p° rta ^ e Operates on flashlight batteries or household current.

Vinyard performed for the varsity last year and sophomore Sanders played with the Tech freshman team. Any time the Red Raiders get inside the 50-yard line, they be come a distinct threat, with a pair of talented toes on the bench, ready for those three-pointers. Aggie Coach Gene Stallings says his club is in the best shape of the last two games for the Tech encounter. He has made some more changes in the de fensive unit in addition to the ones made last week. Regular split end Tommy Maxwell has been moved to safety and regular safety Curley Hallman has moved to defensive back. Jimmy Adams who started out the year at end( has been moved back to split end for the Tech game. The sophomoref rom Hous ton was moved to a defensive back post for the LSU game. He start ed both the LSU and Florida State games at the defensive post. Stallings hopes these changes will help the play of the defensive secondary which he was unhappy with after the Florida State game. THE AGGIES, now 0-4 for the season are picked as underdogs to the Red Raiders. They were also picked as underdogs last season when Texas Tech came into Col lege Station. The Aggies ran over Tech 35-14 and the win started a three game streak that gave the Aggies an early season SWC lead. Both teams will be high for the game. A sell-out crowd is assured as SRO will be the order of the night. Both these facts make cer tain it will be a bang-up SWC affair. The Aggies looked the best yet last week while tech was upset by Mississippi State. A loss for the Maroon and White would seriously hurt their chances at contending for the conference crown. This game is the first of the six remaining conference games for the Aggies this season. It is a must game for the Maroon and White and a win would put them solidly on that road back to the -SWC top. Top U. S. Pros In Ryder Match HOUSTON, Tex. <A>> _ Arnold Palmer, Bill Casper and Julius Boros head the 10-man U.S. team of professional golfers favored to beat Britain’s best in the 17th biennial Ryder Cup matches here next weekend. THE TOURNEY - toughened Yanks are shooting for their 14th victory in a series dating back to 1927. They’ve lost only three times — the last time in 1957 at Lindrick in Leeds, England. The site of the matches is the Champions Golf Club, a pictur esque, relatively flat but exacting course built by two ex-Ryder Cup pers, Jack Burke and Jimmy De- maret. Twenty - four 18 - hole matches will be played — eight Scotch foursomes Friday, eight four-ball matches Saturday and eight in dividual contests Sunday. The Americans won 9% to 12 ^ at Southport, England, two years ago. THE BRITISH are sending over a seasoned team consisting of sev en veterans and three newcomers. Two of the invaders, Peter Al- liss and Bernard Hunt, have play ed in 21 matches each. Palmer, the season’s leading money win ner on the American tour with more than $180,000, has played in 16 but he has won 11 compared with nine for Alliss, the best mark of the British. Palmer, Casper, Boros and former Open champion Gene Lit- tler have been on three Ryder Cup teams while Johnny Pott has played on one. Five newcomers on the U. S. squad are Bobby Nichols, A1 Geiberger, Gay Brew er, Doug Sanders and Gardner Dickinson. THE AMERICAN team is unique in that it is missing both the reigning U. S. Open champion, Jack Nicklaus, and the Profes sional Golfers Association title- holder, Don January. 68 Oldsmobile: Greot s pot for a sit-in. You’re looking at the year’s sweetest place for a sit-in — Olds 4-4-2. This is the scene: Louvered hood up front. Crisp sculpturing in the rear. Rally Stripe and Custom Sport Wheels available in between. And what gleams beneath that rakish afterdeck? Two telltale flared exhausts that give voice to a 400-cube, 4-barrel, 350-hp Rocket V-8. And look where you live: in foam-padded, bucket-seat comfort. The center console is also available, as is the clock/fach/engine gauge Rally Pac. And with all the new GM safety features, including energy-absorbing steering column, 4-4-2 is the greatest sit-in you ever sat in. Drive a'youngmobile’from Oldsmobile. CURLEY HALLMAN JIMMY ADAMS TOMMY MAXWELL AP Picks Hogs And Tech By HAROLD RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Three more chances to make the intersectional record respect able and two games counting heavily in the standings are on the Southwest Conference football schedule for the weekend. The conference games send Texas A&M to Lubbock to test crestfallen Texas Tech and Ark ansas to Waco to engage Baylor. Both are night games. THE AGGIES are seeking their first victory after dropping four straight games, while Tech is try ing to rally from an unexpected trouncing from the winless Mis sissippi State last week. Tech is favored by about a field goal’s difference on the obvious basis that the Mississippi State licking will react to the Red Raid ers’ benefit. It should get them down from the clouds on which they floated after their glittering triumph over Texas. Arkansas is a solid selection over Baylor, which has had a sea son similar to Arkansas, winning its first game last week. Arkan sas was moving in old time style as it shuffled Texas Christian into a 26-0 defeat. Baylor barely man aged to clip victoryless Washing ton State 10-8. The Razorbacks are rated better than a touchdown over the Bears. ARKANSAS, Texas Tech and Southern Methodist lead the con ference race with 1-0 records. It’s the time of the Texas-Okla- homa clash that always packs them into the Cotton Bowl wheth er the battle is important to the rankings or anything else. Texas and Oklahoma meet for the 62nd time with the Sooners boasting an unbeaten record but Texas fav ored although it has lost two. The Longhorns, having some problems with injuries, and Okla homa fearing some of its boys won’t be in top shape as the re sult of a virus outbreak, tangle before 75,504 Saturday afternoon. The odds favor Texas by four which is close enough to indicate a see-saw game going into the £inal minutes for a decision. The big weekend starts Friday night when Southern Methodist, which seems to be in its best shape since the opener with Texas A&M a month ago, tries an Amy team that compares well withtkt 1966 outfit that compiled an 82 record. Army is rated three points bet ter and that’s about the samt situation that existed in 185! when the Methodists played Nt vy in the Cotton Bowl. But SMI! won that one and with quarter' backs Mike Livingston and Ines Perez available again and only regular end Sam Holden on tit doubtful list, the Mustangs could swing back onto the victory road after losses to Missouri and Min nesota. THE OTHER intersectional teal pits Rice against Northwesterno! the Big Ten at Houston Saturday night. Again the Southwest is favored with Rice being accorded a touchdown edge. Rice won one of the four into sectional games the league has been able to boast this seasua when it clipped Navy two weelu ago. And while Northwestern ia rated as good if not better thai the Tars, the Owls remain solid choices.
