Pajre 10 College Station, Texas Thursday, October 19, 1967 THE BATTALION TCU Player-Scout Impressed With Aggie Attack FORT WORTH (AP) — Leslie “Cubby” Hudler took a busman’s holiday last weekend, sitting- in on Texas A&M’s storybook vic tory over Texas Tech at Lubbock. The tough little Texas Chris tian University senior came away convinced that he and other mem bers of the TCU defensive sec ondary face a heavy bombard ment Saturday night when they play A&M in Fort Worth. The Aggies bring Edd Hargett, AP Picks The Aggies NEW YORK (AP) — If you escape a plane accident, the ad vise is to take another flight quickly. If you’re flattened by a punch, come up swinging. Don’t let yourself get punch- shy. So after being bloodied by last week’s ill-fated jabs at No. 1 Southern California and No. 2 Purdue, we take off on another flier—Washington to upset the top-ranked Trojans. Last week: 39-16, .709. season: 229-75, .753. Texas A&M 23, Texas Chris tian 20: Quarterback Edd Hargett has a flair for pulling off last- gasp victories. Purdue 27, Oregon State 7: The Boilermakers continue to prove they are candidates for the nat ional championship. Washington 20, Southern Cali fornia 14: The Huskies are at home and eager and have a good defensive club. The Trojans left a lot at South Bend. Alabama 22, Tennessee 14: The tough Vols might have won this if quarterbacks Dewey Warren and Charley Fulton had stayed healthy. Colorado 20, Nebraska 18: The Buffaloes want to get even for that 21-19 loss last year that knocked them out of the confer ence title. UCLA 17, Stanford 7: Coach Tommy Pro thro and pioteges have their sights fixed on the No. 1 national ranking, and may get it. Texas 15, Arkansas 10: The Longhorns have some recent scores to settle and have the de fensive might to do it. Notre Dame 26, Illinois 0: It’s a good thing the groggy Irish don’t face a more potent foe af ter their battering by Southern Cal. Clemson 18, Duke 10: Frank Howard’s Tigers find pickings a bit softer in their own Atlantic Coast Conference. Syracuse 14, California 7: The big Orange team should snap back smartly from its loss to Navy; should have size and speed edge. Auburn 20, Georgia Tech 13: The Plainsmen are proving one of the most underrated teams in Dixie. Meredith Is Out For Steeler Game DALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Dallas for the second straight week will have to go without ace quarter back Don Meredith but Coach Tom Landry said he thought his Cowboys would do well against Pittsburg Sunday. Meredith spent last week in a hospital with a fractured rib and pneumonia. Landry said Meredith would work out for the first time since the injury on Thursday but that he couldn’t imagine using him un less he had several days of good practice. “I don’t plan to use him Sun day at Pittsburg and probably will start Craig Morton with Jer ry Rhome backing him up,” said the coach. Morton was the quarterback last Sunday when Dallas beat New Orleans 14-10 in the mud. Safety Mel Renfro also prob ably will miss another game, Lan dry said, but otherwise his squad is in good shape with defensive tackle Jethro Pugh, who was hurt in the New Orleans game last Sunday, coming around faster than expected and able to start against the Steelers. TOUCHY FELLOW RYE, N Y. (A 3 *—The pros tell this one following one of the pro amateur rounds on the PGA tour: “You can pick it up,” the pro told the 25-handicap golfer who was on the green in seven strokes. “We have a couple of guys who will get par for the team.” The duffer shot back: “You play your game and I’ll play mine.” the Southwest Conference’s lead ing passer, with them. Hargett hit 15 of 34 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns against Tech, bringing- his total yardage to 849 and six touchdowns. “He hurt Tech with the same pass that killed us last year, to the fullback in the flat,” said Hudler. “That is to the fullback Bill Sallee, who is the third man out. He was open all evening.” Hudler added, “Hargett over threw him a lot when the pres sure was on.” Watching Hargett from the stands for the first time, Hudler was amazed at the Aggie quarter back’s accuracy. “When Tech dropped back in stead of pressuring him, he would lay the ball right in there. He throws a real soft pass. It doesn’t look as if he could throw more than 20 yards with it,” he said. “But I remember one time he let go with a pass that traveled over 60 yards in the air.” Hudler says Hargett is like the pro quarterbacks. He likes to throw the bomb right after a fumble recovery or an intercep tion by the Aggies. Hargett completed 15 of 3 0 passes for an A&M record of 309 yards against TCU a year ago. However, the thing that Hudler remembers most is the faked fourth down punt the Aggies pull ed that set up the second touch down. “We were in the game until then,” he said. “I thought it was a quarterback sneak. But it went to the fullback Sallee who ran about 25 yards for a first down.” One criticism of TCU’s play against the Cadets in 1966 was the poor pass rush. Hargett, at times, stood behind his wall and counted the house before throw ing. “A&M never did hurt Tech run ning,” Hudler noted. The Aggies Imade 59 yards rushing. Hudler also was amused at Tech’s play selection each time the Aggies’ All-American candi date Mo Moorman would come in on defense on a third-and-two or third-and-one situation. “Tech made a point of running at Moorman every time,” he said. “They would make it, too.” Hudler is convinced of one thing. The Aggies don’t roll over when things go wrong. “They kept coming back,” he said. “They didn’t give up.” Frog critics this year contend thats something TCU should learn.
