THE BATTALION
Stallings: Hargett’s Not Bad
BY GARY SHERER
What did Coach Gene Stallings
think as Edd Hargett was ramb
ling for the Texas Tech goal with
the wining score Saturday night?

’DuPont registered trade mark
—“I hope he scores,” said the
Aggie mentor.
This statement kicked off Stall
ings’ weekly press conference as
the head football man at A&M
discussed his football team with
newsmen.
“OUR SECONDARY did better
and the pass protection was fair,”
said Stallings when commenting
on the game. He also said that
the team came out of the game
in good shape and will be ready
for this week’s game with Texas
Christian.
Some controversy had been
raised following the game about
the block made by Larry Stegent
just before Hargett’s score. Stall
ings said that from their game
films, it was a legal block and
that it really couldn’t have been
any other way.
Stallings had praise for the
linebackers, notably Bill Hobbs
and Buster Adami. The duo mgde
or were in on 53 tackles between
them (Hobbs-28, Adami-25). Their
work came out most in the third
quarter as they made most of the
tackles in two Tech drives.
The move of Ross Brupbacher
to defensive back was made be
cause of the abundance of run
ning backs. “We needed defensive
backs and he (Brupbacher) wants
to play, so the switch, was made,”
said Stallings. It really payed off
well as the sophomore from La
fayette, La. pulled off two inter
ceptions.
STALLINGS HOPES to go
with the same defensive align
ment that finished the Tech game.
Jimmy Piper, however, may start
ahead of Gaddy Wells at left end.
The offense should stay the same.
Halfback Wendell Housley is im
proved physically and may see
more action.
“TCU can keep the ball against
you,” commented Stallings about
the Aggies’ next opposition. He
mentioned that the Homed Frogs
had kept the ball a total of 51
plays in the first half of their
game with Georgia Tech.
Though he would like to run
more, Stallings thinks the Aggies
wil stick to their passing game
for TCU. Hargett’s SWC player-
of-the-week passing arm would
tend to be the reason for that
decision.
When asked if he agreed with
some people calling Hargett the
best passer in the SWC, Stallings
smiled and said. . . .“He’s not a
bad passer.”
Buckman Is Ready
For Hometowners
He’s actually too large to over
look, but one of the unsung stand
outs on Texas A&M’s football
forces this fall is strong end Tom
Buckman, a 6-4, 210-pound junior
from Fort Worth.
And, this coming Saturday
night (Oct. 21) he’ll return to
his hometown for his first foot
ball action there since coming to
Texas A&M. It’ll be for the Ag-
gie-TCU contest at 7:30 p.m. in
Amon Carter Stadium on the TCU
campus.
Buckman has faced TCU be
fore, once as a freshman and last
year on the varsity but both times
the games were played in College
Station.
Buckman, despite his size, is
no hulking, awkward giant. In
stead he is one of the most agile
players on the club. Thus far this
season he has caught four passes
for 66 yards and is considered
among the very best blockers on
the offensive line. Last year, when
he was also a regular at the same
position he caught 16 passes for
173 yards and one touchdown.
Coach Gene Stallings remark-
TOM BUCKMAN
ed this past week that “I think
Buckman has caught every pass
thrown his way this year. Maybe
we haven’t been throwing to him
enough.”
In addition to playing football
at Fort Worth Amon Carter Riv
erside High, Tom found time to
win all-state honors in basketball
and letter in both track and base
ball. In addition, he was a mem
ber of the National Honor Socie
ty.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. R. Buckman. His father is an
A&M graduate and is city traffic
engineer in Fort Worth.
Buckman will fool you with his
speed, too. This past summer,
when the Aggies assembled to run
their qualifying mile in order to
check out gear and commence fall
football practice, big Tom finished
second to Bob Long with the
splendid time of 5:10. And, at the
finish he didn’t appear to be ex
hausted, suggesting that he could
have done it faster.
Now with a last-second win un
der their belts, the Aggies know
how the other half lives. They
lost several such decisions them
selves earlier in the season.
As for Buckman, he’d like to
continue the victory streak, es
pecially before the home folks in
Fort Worth this weekend.
Ag Booters
Topple TCU
The Aggie soccer team grabbed
their second conference victory
Saturday with a 6-1 romp over
Texas Christian.
The win puts the Ag booters in
second place in the conference
and if Texas wins its next game,
there will be a three-way dead
lock for the conference lead.

Sports Aplenty
Picking With
The Presidents
By GARY SHERER
Things are looking up everywhere! The Aggies got
their first victory and ye old prognosticator was 8-3-0 on
his predictions.
Unlike the good guys of history, I get to gloat about
any accomplishments before my demise. Historical char
acters really have their own kind of fascination for me. I
wonder how some of our former presidents would have
predicted football games?
TEXAS A&M 27, TCU 9
George Washington couldn’t tell a lie.
TENNESSEE 21, ALABAMA 16
Old Hickory would have enjoyed this one.
ARKANSAS 20, TEXAS 18
Harry Truman knew all the time that Dewey wouldn’t win.
WASHINGTON 16, USC 13
James K. Polk said 54-40 or fight.
COLORADO 25, NEBRASKA 16
Andrew Johnson would have vetoed this one.
GEORGIA TECH 12, AUBURN 9
Ike played a lot of golf at Augusta.
HOUSTON 29, MISSISSIPPI ST. 6
Sam Houston would have carried one state.
MICHIGAN STATE 21, MINNESOTA 14
Whatever happened to Harold Stassen ?
SYRACUSE 14, CALIFORNIA 8

South Carolina gave Abe Lincoln a lot of trouble, too.
If many of these are wrong, I’ll try not to be like Alt'
Landon or Richard Nixon and scream for a recount.
